Miss NELLIE's DINING Our"
PARTY.-One OF the largest and
most extravagant parties to be Civ
en- this season, as | hear, will be at
the White House, on the occasion of
Miss Nellie Grants entrance into
society. This will be q rare treat
to the Young ladies and gentlemen
of Washington, who have not been
entertained at the White House for
many years. Miss Nellie has lost
some OF her beauty and freshness,
and does not give promise Of such
grace and loneliness as she did three
years ago. She may be seen on the
avenue almost every day, driving at
q sharp pace a Kne horse to bask-
ct ph@ton. Her beautiful blonde
nair has changed to a brown, and
her figure is less graceful, but she is
a capital horseman, and handles the
reins with consummate skill.

upon which such action was based,
W hen Clayton at once made issue

A doctor recently died who was
the oldest medical man in one of our
large midland towns. The babies
he had helped in early practice thro'
the perils of childhood, had come to
be grayhaired men; and one day, as
the story goes, he had an engage
ment with one of these, q well
known merchant. The hour of the
engagement was long past, and the
doctor was pacing the floor of his
study when the gentleman came in
with an apology on his lips; mo
matter, no matter % said the doctor,
with an impatient wave of his hand;
"you are always behind. l remem-
ber," said he, "thirty years ago,
sitting for ten mortal hours in the
little back parlor of your fathers
house, waiting for you to be born.
You are always behind time"

POkIng FUN.

The Aralanche thus pokes its fun
into the ribs of members OF the
Electoral College, which met at
Nashville. on tina 4tll inst:
Kentucky, like Tennessee, voted
in November for two Liberal Re-
publicans, and on the 4th instant the
electors declared for Democrats.
This determination to fling the old
Democratic ghost into the face Of
the country as a ''rll-do-it-if-it-kill-
me" menace, will pass in Bourbon
circles for fidelity to Per-rinciple
with q big P; but for what good?
Does the action restore the defunct
Democracy TO lifel No; it makes
its insane managers seem more in
sane than before. These Greeley
Brown electors who cast their vote
for old-line Democrats should now
meet and whereas" and "resolVe'
that the Bourbon Democracy is an
exceedingly live IDjun, who win
win race in &c. This would in
spire confidence. Let it be done.

Hurry up the Jackson and Dyers-

no other road that would be of more
interest to the people on the line or
to Jackson. Madison, Crockett and
Dyer, are the best counties in the
