Miscellaeons a TELLING TALES ABOUT HIGH OFFICIALS. 1t is the misfortune of public ofticars that they ara the object of constant attack and tall Iying. From this stsndpoint, I notice a statemert which ia fiercoly and frequently made, that Judge Smail and official reporter Roby have turned the spart- ments given them by the county at our costly Court-House, for business purposes, into sleep- ingrooms. Itisnot pleasant hear these things eaid sbout men one derires to respect, and they ought to come forward with a denial, if untrue, or explanation of the circumstances, if suscept- ible of an explanation. I believe tho eimple truth to bo, that the Judge is frequently called 0 wait upon juries most pact of the night, snd in ordor to be at hand when wanted, has extem- porized sleeping facilities superior to the ordi- nary lounge, but by no means of 3 character to justify the appellation of bed-room furniture. The official reporter has also been required to work very much at night, and for convenience eake, to avoid gomng s long way, avd returning, also enjoys s temporary shake down. If tius bas degenerated into tho regular use of the rooms as sleeping apartmeats, I do not know it. As people talk a good deal sbout these things, & statement of the facts sbouid be made. A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE DEMOCRATS, Tho Hon. George W. Allen is gtumping the State for the Republican ticket. 'Thus falle to the ground another weak and foolish invention of tho enemy, which declared that Mr. Allen hed becoms ** di d with the resalt of the Re- pubtican Scate Coovantion ; that he had rotired to a sulky obscurity, from which he would only emerge to oppose the election of Mr. Ludington with all the eloquence aud activity in hig power." Tho malicions falsehood has done the Demo- cratic patty 0o good, for the alleged malcontent haa worked in 1bs Repablican cause with s vim and sctivity rarely surpassed. Mr. Allen at one time was popuiar with a large number of the Re- publican party, and was thought likely to have the nomination for Govornar. YAIR OF THE CAPUCHIN MONES. In the western part of the city, the.Order of Capuchins have established themselves in' the midst of a thick German Catholic population, of the poorest class of workingmen and common Inborers. These people have built their te- loved spiritual advicers a comfortablo and com- modious church, a clergr-house, and other ro- llgl'nu buildings required by the Order. On Thareday evening a fair was commenced in the ball of the monastery, which was gotten up “for | the benefit of the monks by their devoted flook. It was & plessant sight to witnoss the bappy faces of bright rasidens and comely wives, intel- ligent younths and sturdy sun-bronzed toilers in the streots, flocking into the hall, tending tables, buying and selling, and doing their best in every case to make each osher happy, and fill the exchequer of the Brothers.

A yard and a balf of velvet, and balf that quantity of ailk, wero required for the cornpletion of this monstrosity of feminine bead-gear.
