asking him why he had not & flag HANGING

coIOrs. The Doctor, an easy man of the

sure hours; but don talk 10 me on political
subjects, else l shall regret having to receive
you inpoiiteiy, aud shall even tuaIiy very po-
htely show you the door Nhereupon the
four braves left him, threatening to return
and make the - id SeSesher' show his
colorS. The next day, at the Doctor S
regular Office hours, a band OF eight came
demanding of him 10 Immediately place the
Stars and Stripes over his Office, or something
else would be shown TO him. The Doctor.
sitting in his own easy chair, smoking mis- ci-
gar, very cooily replied my good men, let
me state to You all, once mora, what said
TO some of you yesterday, that l will not
permit any one to NEEDLE with my doings );

The words were scarcely out of the Doctors

would permit, and never exhibited their faces
