I said that all men were mad, and all men said that I was mad : the majority carried tha point. The following anecdote is related of the Marquis De Luxembourg, the new French Minister at War.

He bore the amputation with much indifference, and when the operation was over, he conversed jocosely with those around.

IT-IT. This rapitl desolation Icavs to the venarahle Dr. Holvok?. T-G, tc seniority amon; the living. II; has been of his own clas the solitary survitor for nearly twenty years Gaz. We state with pleasure, (savs the York Gazette.) that the iprin tradr has opened with more spirit tt an wns anticipated, and that considerable j;ond business is doinjr. For manv ea.rs then has not been kno.vn such a scarcity of sailors, whose wages h ive risen from h to twelve dollars a month, and few to be had at that juice. It is said there is a woman in Mason county, Kentucky,' who is a daughter to her grand-father, a coutin to her father aw? mother,mother to her brother, a sister to her husband's children, a mothes to her husband's children, a niece toiler husband, a grandmother to her second cousins, a mother to her cousins, a grandmother to her brothcr'r ci.iidren: "a if she should have have one, it will be her count). From the ProvidcTi.ee Gazelle, ANOTHER ELOPEMENT. A native of Scotland arrived in this town from Boston, with a young lady of about 15 years of age, whom he had entieed from her paternal roof under pretence of a matrimonial connexion The afRicted parents immediately pursued the fugitives, and through the aid of two of our most vigifant police officer, they were discovered soon after their arrivaland the seducer defeated in in his nefarious intentions. From the Chtlliccthp Supporter. I am well satisfied that Gen. Harrison is a very vain man, and a very pt eumptious politician. His proposition to distribute the surplus revenue of the general govrnmcnt, v.hich he brouglit frward at the commencement of the session, is full evidence of this.- In my opinion Camillas greatly over rates him. It is by no means certain, that he is ca pab'e of iral usefulness in our publie cou:icils. There is too innch riil'i ves-; ces.ee about hini. He lives too much in the opinions of others; in this respect resembling a bubble blown up and su -tain-' ed by puffing. lie does r.o: pos-i- the solid judgment, the cool dispassionate reueetion. the clear discriminating perception, witiiout which no man cn b? an eminent statesman. Besides this he has lived too Ur.g in the indulgence of local and personal feelings, and is quite too familiar with the practice of a courtier, and the notion of a patron to act at all times independent cf these influences. It was this sentiment of self importance, that gave rise to the conceit, that the publication of his speech ' wa? necessary as well lor the pulmc ttisfaction as for his own defence." I believe the public would have been well satisfied, that the speech should have heen fullered to die v.iti the delivery. I do not believe it would have been u.isrepiescnted or sought after, r.or ju!d have been put up.m kis defence for delivering it. I am peru ided,, that mo-t of the printers lhat published it were specially requested to do so b v the General or his friends. For my part, 1 am no worshipper of man. With .ill his pretentions to republicanism. Gen. Harrison preserves a stion; i!i for the incense of flattery. I cannot tickle his palate, and if he must make and publish speeches, and write newspaper articles in their defence, he must ever submit to be treated with familiarity. To be very plain with him, I believe he is aspiring to he governor or senator in congress, and for one, I am net willing to see him clamber into either 01 these sta tions. I can also inform him that I aui neither singular in mv suspicions, nor in my repugnance to his success. More profound men than he is, deteic themselves, where they have personal inter-, est, oftsner than they deceive others. fciursLv. We are extremely happy to announce to the public, says the New-York Gazette, that through intercession cf our truly gallant Commodore Macdonough, a mutual reconciliation has taken place between Commodores Rodgers and Barron, which adds another lufading laurel to the brow of our favorite hero. We also learn, that the officers, who some time since returned from the Mediterranean, have been rastored, and hae received orders to proceed to diilereut commands. COUNTY STAY LAW.
