The Democratic Barbacue al Wash-

Whigs and Democrats, in that section.
Mr J, Shepherd, of Brenham, opened

The Duke of Wellington’s Hab-
its.—The Duke’s personal habits were
extremely temperate, if not abstemious.
He slept little, and, whether from old
military associations or for health’s sake,
used a bard mattress and camp bed. He
appeared to avoid display in bis dress,
equipage and attendants, preferring horse
exercise to the state and luxury of ‘
carriage; and even when increasing weak-
ness rendered it a task of some difficulty to s I
sit erect upon horseback, day after day be] follo"',ng brief remarks, gi

trance to catch a glimpse of the veteran
warrior. His household was said to be a
model of good order and good manage-
ment. He incurred no debts; punctual
and precise in all bis dealings, be was
always juM, and frequently, though pri-
vately, generous. His Waterloo ban-
quets, which for many years drew arouud
him his surviving companions in arms in
his last glorious field, were the only ex-
ceptions lo his usual indifference to dis-
play. Oa these occasions only the mas-
sive services of plate and priceless china,
pictures, statues, and all the other favors,
honors and presents which bad been
conferred upon bint by the sovereigns of
Europe, were not inappropriately dis-
played--*- London Times. /. 7

Some idea of the force of the gun may
be gathered from the fact that immediately
after the eighteenth ball was fired, there
was a pish into the gallery of persons ground conceded to them, and the
