MADAME De STAEL was pitless talker
Some gentlemen who wished to teach her a
lesson, introduced person to her who, they
said, was a very learned man. The blue
stocking received him very graciously, but
eager to produce an impression, began to talk
away, and asked thousand questions, so en-
crossed with herself that She did not notice
that her visitor made no reply. When the
visit was over the gentlemen asked Corrinne
how she liked their friend. "A most delight
ful man." was the reply. "What wit and
learning!" Here the laugh came in-the
visitor was deaf and dumb.

The Austin elligcncer goes into spasns
of delight over the election Of Jack Hainl-
ton, as State Senator in a district composed
of three submission counties. Those coun-
ties are emitted to all the honor of such u
choice. No portion of Texas will envy
them.
Jack Hamilton is fine stump speaker
He has been admired for his oratCry and
his wit but as politician nobody uhrc"
to trust him. lie has been upon almost
every side of every issue, and member OF
every political party in the country Tho
Black Republican papers, last winter ar-
laudcd his course in Congress: lie was -
great fovortc with that negrc-loting party.
Hc assured the North that Texas wis all
right, that she would never sccedc.
MIR. Hamilton, should he take the oath of
Office, will be member of the Texas Sem
ate. Should he turn another somcrsault,
and come right side up; he may, after
long season of rcpentdntc dtil rtfcrniaticn'
attain some degree of public confidence
but in his present political position he is
entirely out ofthc PROPER latitude. Neither
Texas, nor aiiy of the Confederate States
has any necessity for politicians Of MIR.
