Word has just been received that we are to move again to-morrow to a precisely similar set of huts about a hundred yards away! They are mad wags on Olympus. "Firing parrty, revairse arrms!" Thus the platoon sergeant a little anxiously; for we are new to this feat, and only rehearsed it for a few minutes this morning. It is a sunny afternoon in late February. The winter of our discontent is past.
Ordinarily, that would have been a small matter; but without his tail he was jarred so severely that a dog, who saw him fall, ran up and killed him before he could recover and climb a tree. Why a Dog Wags His Tail There is an old story that the Dog said to the Cat: "Cat, you are a fool; you growl when you are pleased and wag your tail when you are angry."
Munro writes: "That the disputed objects are amusing playthings the sportive productions of idle wags who inhabited the various sites seems to be the most recent opinion which finds acceptance among local antiquaries. The genuine undisputed relics, according to Dr. Thus Dr.
Directly our supply of gas began to fail, the wags insinuated that Henri Rochefort was jubilant, and if you inquired the reason thereof, you were told that owing to the scarcity of gas everybody would be obliged to buy hundreds of "Lanternes."

Hence all sorts of legends were formed by wags or credulous persons respecting his place of abode. It was stated that he slept habitually in a watch-box in the city: in a cab at a mews, where a cab-proprietor gave him a shelter: in the Duke of York's Column etc, the wildest of these theories being put abroad by the facetious and imaginative Huxter.
"I wonder at that," the warper said, "for I assure you he has been harder 'at it than ever thae last nights. What's more, he used to look doleful as he sat at his table, but I notice now that he's as sweer to leave off as he's keen to begin, and the face of him is a' eagerness too, and he reads ower to himself what he has wrote and wags his head at it as if he thought it grand."

It so happened that Carlin, the nominee for Governor, and McRoberts, candidate for Congress from the first district, were receivers in land offices. This "Land Office Ticket" became a fair mark for wags in the Whig party.
