A nsw French work gives the following grand pen-pictur« of the last desperate charge of Napoleon's "Old Guard," at Waterloo : "During the"d:iy the artillery of ths 3uard under Drouefc, maintained its own enown, and the Guard itself had fre- rjuentiy boon used to rosiore the battle in various part* of the field, and always with success. The English were fast be- coming exhausted, and inan hour more would have been foroed in to a disastrous defeat, but for the timely arrival of Jilu- cher. But when they saw him with 30,- 000 Prussians approaching, their courags revived, while Napoleon was filled with amazement. A beaten enemy about to 'orin a junction with tho allies while Grouchy, who had beeu sent to keep them "n check, was nowhere to bo seen! Alas! what great plans a single inefficient com- mander can overthrow ! "In a moment Napoleon saw that he could not sustain the attack of so many fresh troops, if once allowed to form a unction with the allied forces; and he determined to stake his fata on ono bold cast, and endeavored to pierce the allied enter with a grand charge of the Old Guard, and thua throw himself between the two armies. For this purpose the Imperial Guard I M called up, and divi- ded into immense columns which woro to meet in the British centre. That under llaille was no sooner in the fire than it dis- appeared like mist. The other was under Ney, the 'bravest of the brave,' and an order to advance given. Napoleon ac- companied them part of the way down the slope, and halting a few moments iu the hollow, addressed them a fe->v words. He told them that the battle rested with them, that he relied on their valor, tried on so many fields. 'Vive l'Empereur!' answered him with a shout that was heard above the thunder of the artillery. ''The whols continental struggle exhi- bited no subliiaer spectacle than the last effort of Napoleon to savo his sinking empire. The greatest military skill and energy the world ever possessed had been taxed to the utmost during the day.— Thrones were tottering on the turbulent field, aud the shadows of fugitive kings flitted through the smoke of thefieldof battle. Bonaparte watched with intense anxiety the advance of that column, when the smoke of the battle wrapped it from his eight, aud the utter despair of his great heart, when the curtain lifted over a fugitive army, and the despairing siy-iek rang out, 'Tho Guard recoils! the Guard reooils!' makes us for a moment forget all the carnage in sympathy with his distress. "The old guard felt the presence of the immense responsibility, and resolved not to prove unworthy of the great trust committed to it. Nothing could be more imposing than its movnmeuts to. the as- sault. It had never recoiled before from a human foe, and the allied forces beheld with awe its firm and steady advance to the final charge. For a moment the bat- teries stopped playing, and tho firing ceased along the British line, as, without the beating of a drum or a bugle note to cheer their courage, they moved in dead silence over the field Their tread was like the muffled thunder, while the daz- zling helmets of cuirassiers flashed long lines of light upon the dark aud terrible mass that swopt in one strong wave along. The stern Drouet was then amid his guns, and on every brow was writtcD the unal- terable resolution to conquer or die. The next moment the artillery opened, and the head of that gallant column seemed to sink into the earth. Rank after rank went down: yot they neither stopped nor faltered. Dissolving squadrons and whole battalions disappearing one after another in tho destructive fire affected not their courage. The ranks closed up as before, and each treading over his fallen com- rades, passed unflinchingly on. "The horse which Ney rode sank un- der him, and scarcely had ho mounted an- other before it also sank to tho earth, and so another and another, till five in suc- cession had been shot from under him.— Then, with his drawn saber, ho marched sternly at the head of his column. In vain did the artillery hurl its stormof iron upon that living mass. Up to the very muzzle they pressed, and driving the artillery men from their pieces, pressed on through the English line. But, just as the victory seemed wou, a file of sol- diers who lay flat on the ground, behind a ridge of earth, suddenly rose and poured a volley in their very faces. Another anl another followed, lil] one broad slice of flames rolled on their bosoms, and in such fierce and uucxpected flow, that they staggered before it. Before the Guard haif time to rally again and advance, a heary column of infantry foil on its left flank in close and deadly volley, causing it, in its unsettled state, to swerve on the right. At that instant a whole brigade of cavalry thundered on the right flank, aud penetrated where cavalry had never gone before. "The intrepid Guard could have borno up against the unexpected fire from sol- diers they did not see; andwould have rolled back the infantry that had boldly charged their flank; but the cavalry fin- ished the disorder into which they had been momentarily thrown, and broke the shaken ranks before they had time to re- form, and the eagles of tho hitherto in- vincible Guard were pushed baoKward down the slope. It was then the army, seized with despair, shrieked out, 'The Guard recoib! the Guard recoils!' and turned and fled in wild dismay. To see tho Guard in confusion, was a sight they had never before beheld, and it froze ev- ery heart with terror. "For a long time they stood and let the cannon balls pass through their ranks, disdaining to turn their backs on ths foe. Miohel, at the head of these battal- ions, fought like a lion. To every oom- mand of tho enemy tosurronder, he re- plied: ' Ths Guard dm but never surrenders!' Aud, with his last breath bequeathing this glorious motto to the Gmti'J, he fell a witness to its truth. Death traversed those eight battalions with such rapid footsteps that they soon dwindled away to two, which turned in hopeless daring on the overwhelming numbers that pressed on their retiring footsteps. ''Last of all but a single battalion, the debris of the 'oolumn of granite' at Ma- rengo, was left. Into this Napoleon flung himself. Cambreuil, it* brave com- mander, saw with terror tho Emperor in its frail keeping. Ho was not struggling now for victory: he was intent oaly on showing how the Guard could die. Ap- proaching the Emperor, he criedout: Retire! Do you not see that death has no need of you?' and closing mournfully but sternly round the expiring eagles, those brave hearts bade Napoleon an eter- nal adieu, and, flinging themselves on the enemy, were soon piled with the dead at their feet. "Many of tho officers were seen to de- stroy themselves rather than suffer defeat. Thus, greater even in its own defeat than any other corps of men in gaining a vic- tory, the Old Guard passed from tho stage, and tho curtain dropped upon its strange career. It had fought its last battle." in « ^ m A ROYAL MISTAKE.—Prince "William of Baden who is the Austrian service, was expected to visit the bridge at Kehl, and orders were given to receive him with all (he honors due to his rank.— Timo passed, and still he did not come.— At last Major Weyler, who was in com- mand at Kehl, received a telegraphic dispatch as follows: "I leave to-morrow evening, about 4 o'clock. Come to the station to meet me. WILLIAM." Imme- diately the Major notified the civil and military authorities at Kehl. He gave notice that all the workmen on tho bridge, and all the soldiers of the engi- neers, should beready, in full dress, at the timo of tho prince's arrival. In con- sideration of tho time of his coming, the Prince would have to dine at Kehl. The Major organized t, little banquet of twenty covers, and as the Kehl cooks are not up to the times, he went and ordered the dinner from the bast restauratur of Strasburg. The next day all was ready. The civil authorities were at the station, adorned with the insignia of their office; the military were drawn up infinearray before the station. At last tho whistle of the locomotive announced the approach of the train. It stopped at tho station, and tho passengers got out. Whero is the Prince? No Prince appears. But a man pushes away tho crowd, aud throws himself into the arms of the astonished Major. It was his brother, Mr. William Weyler, whom ho did not expect, and who had sent him the dispatch that caused tho blunder. At first the civil and military authorities seemed disposed to beangry. But the amazed look of the Major soon showed that the trtek was in- voluntary, and that he himself was its first victim. Then a smile came over every face. The thing was taken in good part. The banquet was eaten gaily and found delicious. A hogshead of boor was tapped, and consoled the soldiers for the trouble they had gone to. The Major's brother is still proud of having beeu re- ceived with such honors. THE FIBST CIGAR.—Among a certain class- of ill-trained boys, smoking and chewing are thought to bo unquestionable requisites to all who would be considered manly and independent. A few days ago I saw a ragged, pale-faced, sorrow- looking boy, about nine years old, puffing what was evidently bis first cigar. • He stood leaning against a house, his cheeks drawn in, hi* eyes red and watery, his countenance ! bearing tho expressionof nausea, and altogether looking as tliough ho was ready to repent of his foolish bar- gain. Several other lads, a little older, stood around him, encouraging him, anx- iously awaiting tho result of the experi- ment. Poor, silly boy! He probably thought it was a fine, manly thing ho was learning, instead of a dirty, disgusting and unhealthy habit, which will provea curao to him as long as he lives, if not broken up. I can hardly boliove ho would have endured the deathly nausea of that first cigar with such murtyr-liko patience, had he suspected the real nature of the procoss he was going through. There are other boys every clay going through the same initiatory steps, under tho same strange delusion. Some, into whose hands this paper will fall, may bo exposed to tho same danger. To such I would say, beware how you acquire this habit. Tho use of tobacco, whether by chow ing, smoking, or snuffing, is both a physical and moral evil. It is only evil, and evil continually. The most skillful physicians in tho world havo testifiod to its dangerous effects upon the system. Tho most eminent menin the various other walks of life—clergymen and teach- ers, judges and lawyers, men of literature, art, science and morals, have denounced the use of tobacco as one of tho greatest evili of the day. It would be difficult to find a candid and well-informed man, who would seriously deny this position, go well established is the fact. CS^To euro poverty—sit down and growl about it. Swimm'.ng Race With A Shark- Young gentlemen! young gentlemen! skylarking; at tins tune! For shame disturbing the whole wardroom! Since you are so wakeful you shall make yourselves useful. You Mr. Fatal, go to the masthead, and watch for signals from the Jamestown. Mr. Seymour, go ashore in the second cutter for fresh beof; and you, Mr. Burges. take charge of the fatigue party and go to the cor^l reef for balast.' 'Not tny turn, sir,' wliinad 1. 'Don't answer me back, sir,' retorted our first lioutenaot, as kind hearted a man and as thorough a sailor aa ever trod a dock; something ofa martinet withal, especially with us middies. 'Go out of your turn; then, sir, as punishment for this unseemly conduct —and go in fatigue dres?, too, sir— and be quick about it, sir!' I said no more, but Mad Jack, the patronymic, wo bestowed on Lieu tenant E went back to his state- room and I proceeded to invest my weary limbs in b'ue flanuel trowseis, to don a shirt of tho same material, and to put my foet into a pair of thin pumps, when I found myself ready for duty. My bolt of side arms over my shoulder, iastead of my waist, and an old Panama hat upon myhoad, com- pleted my equipment; and I hastened on deck in timo to see poor Falas on bis way to the masthead. 'Away there, you launch ers ausayP' called the boatswain, and tho twenty men tumbled into tho launch and away we wont, slowly and sluggishly. Tbo officer on deck called out to me to come on board at gun-fire for breakfast, and warned me that I was responsible for my men. We landed at a bo'd reach, and the men went to work with a will. The heavy pieces of brilliant white or colored coral, that grow up from the reef like trees, were ruthlesly broken off and lifted iuto the boat. Tho wat«r on tho reef was from two to four foot deep, and the men were in tht$ water up to their waists, and I from my low stature was often up to my nock, as I went groping after beautiful speci- mens of coral. I had left my cutlass and pistols in tho locker of tho launch, and as I woro nothing that I feared to injure, was enjoying myself in tho luke- WUIMI wate:\ As I went poking round, I found tho cascusa of a dead porpoise, that had apparently been killed by a sword-fish, embayed among the coral ppires. With tho help of one of tho men, I pulled of a lump of barnacles that clung to its belly and pushed it off to the leeward of tho lodge. Then seating myself on a clump of broken spires I sat about examining these at my leisure, thinking that I might be able to distinguish their species, bv reason of the long talks with which our kind oldsurgeon had often bored me upon his passion—conchology. The specimens were hardly disenga- ged from the foreign matter about them, whem my attention was attracted by a shoal of shovel-nosed sharks fighting over the body of my dead por- poise; but they soon sank and the cause of their dispute with them.— Now I was fairly engaged in consid- ering the genius of my crustaceas, having some of them open and waiting the effect of the light on them, when, j bang, went the gun from tho ship, and I saw a recall signalflying.Now, though I was ready enough for break- fast, I wanted about ten more minutes over my new found pleasures; so I told the cockswain to get tho men in their places and make ready to start. It was no sooner said than done, for the rascals were hungry. 'All ready to shove off, sir,' said Harvoy. 'Then shove off, and be hangod to you,' 1 responded. 'I will swim off to you' knowing that I could swim two lengths of the boat whilo they pulled one, so heavily was she loaded. Green, as he pulled the first stroke, sung out: 'Watch out for sharks, sir?" But as we all had a contompt for shovel- noses, I paid no attention to the caution. So ofl' they wont, and I went on with my studies, But soon 1 found that I could do nothing with the subject.— Like the boat it was too deep for me— so off I started. Tho launch was now some hundred yards the start ot me, but I knew that I could reach it before they had doubled the distance, so I warn leisurely along after them. Alle at once I saw Green spoak to th cockswain, £who dropped the t.ller and stood up in the stern sheets, and looked as if abo.it to eall me, Then Green pulled his frock, aud they pulled together. Wbat-does this moan, I wondered. All this time the boat had been headed for the ship. Now they changed their course, fairly heading for the shore, so that by the force of the tide they would fairly come across my course. 'Halloo,' thinks I—'they'er off for tho shore and bound for a day's run. Oh: if I were only in the boat wouldn't I break their heads with tho tiller!' I shouted to them to keep their course or I'd fix'om. Harvey shouted back to mo in a voica that sounded tremulous, taunting me with slow swim- ming. I answered without losing a stroke that I would show 'em what I could do: aud, indeod I was> doing my best. Now irlarvey stood up in tho stern-sheets, with a long boathook in his hand harpoon fashion, now renewing his slow swimming, and damning the men for slow pulling, though they were bending their oars as I never saw them bent before. I couldn't answor without abating my spaed, so I con- tented myself with bearing down on their quarter; and the courso they were pulling now helped mu. Green now dropped his oar in tho water and his head out of sight, and before I could wonder at it, sprang on the thwurt with one of my pistols in each hand and cocked them. Harvey, Greon and the men were all shouting at once, but what they said I could not understand. Their manner terrified mo; I feared they had boon drinking, and that they were determined to get to the shore, though it were over my body; and this feeling increased as 1 saw the threatening manner in which Harvey brandished his boat-hook. My first thought was to swim the other way, but L couldn't reach the shore. 'I'll press on to the boat,' I thought, 'they'll not dare to strike me,' and so with my last remaining energy, 1 daetrod on. But ti.x or eight fathoms separated mo from the boat when a simultaneous cry broko from the men; some dropped their oarn; one covered his face with his hands; Green fired a pistol, as I thought, at my hoad. I screamed and tried to dive, but I was too weak. Bang, wont tho other pistol but still I wa3 unhurt. Now old Harvey poised the sharp-pronged boat- hook, and darted it fair at my head, with all tho dexterity ho had gained as a whaler but it did not hit me. It might as well, for I was completely exhausted; and now, with one thought of home, and ono glance at heaven I found rnysell siukicg. But I was now quite near tho boat, and old Harvey, stretching out his full length, almost seized me by the hair of tho head, thrusting me under the water. I thought I was a 'goner;' but the old fellow kept his hold and dragged me tothe boat, and then, laying hold of my trousers by the suat, and a little more, raised my body with a force that, at tbo 8ame time nearly scalped and unseated me, into the boat as though I was another stone to oomplete the load, and thtn sinking upon the thwart, burst into tears. This singular action, and a tremendoous threshing alongside, me. I looked over, and then I sawthe Key to the behavior of the men and ot Harvey's dosire to make me swim taster. It was a twenty-foot, hammer- headed, white-nosed, shark, the 'man oater,' on his baok, and bleeding from two open wouuds, with the boat hook transfixed in his white belly. The sense of tho past danger was too much for me. i'or tho first timo in my life I fainted. When I recovered my senses I was in my hammock, under the hands of tho assistant surgeon; for the surgeon having found u lump of crusiacea tucked in my bosom, had deserted mo for bis favorite. But I rallied quickly, and was about my duties the next day, and beloro that was able to pour out my gfatitudw to the noble fellows, whose judicious conduct as well as active exertions hud saved me from a lorr.bie (Jeath. But I fait tho effect of my hoist from tho water for several days, not being able to comb my hair or even to sit down without pain. Mad Jack sent me a big pot of coffee the ; oxt morning, and put mo on the black-list for a week as punishment for not recovering the boat-hook which rny friend the hammor-head had swamoil with in his belly. Outriding the Storm. Willis, in one of hie letters from the West, describes a race between a train of cars and a thunder-storm: "To over- take a thunder shower, whirl through it and outrun it, was the first of the day's exoiting novelties. We saw it ahead of us, on the prairie, as you see a single black cloud in the sky, with sunshine all around it. It was moving in the same direction as ourselves, probably at about twenty miles au hour; and we soon be- gan to overtake it with our better har- nessed thunder anil lightning. The con- ductor pointed the dark mass out to me, some ten or fifteen minutes before we en- tered tho outer skirt of the shower; and we were in a pelting rain, with lightning aud peals of thunder, for perhaps ten minutes—emerging in fair weather on the other side, and leaving the storm to lag after us, like a "slow coach" that it was! But, oertaiuly, it was very queer thus to give thunder and lightning tho go by. It seemed to mo, somehow, anticipatory of another state of things. When wo go telegraphing about, at the beginningof our spirit travels in the next life, I am suro I shall have a vague impression of having dono something of that sort, be- fore—this experience ol distancing a well- trained thunder-cloud being laid away in my memory. But it is to the wild ani- mals of the prairie that the swiftness of the rail-train is most inexplicable. Ages upon ages havo established certain rela- tive rates of speed between man and the subject races of creation the mountain hunter being the fastor pursuer for which the elk and reiudeer, the bear and prairie wolf, the fox and tho wild-cat, the skunk, otter and marten, aro all prepared. The small line of tho rail-track, nearly hidden in grass, is not recognized by theso wan- derers over the vast plains of tho West, and, while thinking themselves still safe in thoir owa. horizou-edged wilderness, they suddenly see the coming of the new monster. It is a daily experience of tho trains on this railroad aoross Illinois, to overtake some one or more- of them; and it is curious (so the different conductors aud brakemen all told me) how none of them seem to have the sagacity to escape by running off at right angles. Almost invariably they flee before tho pursuer, and aro run down, at last, to fall fainting with terror and exhaustion in tho neigh borhood of the track." MR. DOUGLAS IN THE SOUTH. His Ike option and Speech at Norfolk, Va, Special Dispatch to th - S. Y. Herald, NORFOLK, VU., Aug. 26. The Little Giant arrived here on )'es- terday. His reception was most on- thusiastic He has entered on the cam- paign South under the most auspicious circumstanr.es. On landing, ha expres- sed his thanks lor tho unexpected warmth of his welcome, and for accup- of hours afterwards was ocenpiod in reoeiving his friend* at the hotel. During tho day he visited Ports mouth, by invitation, and was escorted to tho Ocean House there, and under- went the con mony of a reception. Iu the evening an immense crowd gathered ontho streets of Norfolk, bon- fires were lighted, bands played, and a queer time of it altogether was had, fermenting and enthusiasm foreign to the Nororlkoritos. A committee of ar- rangements wa» formed, and, under their direction, tho whole body of peo- ple proceeded to the Court House yard. Judge Douglas appeared there, also, and, taking his stand oti the topmost step of the stone-flight leading to the entrance of the building, he proceeded at once toaddress tho assemblage, coin puted at six thousand people. He spoke for nearly two hours, and made one of the most forcible of his popular sovertignty speeches. In the middle of his address a slip of paper was handed tohim. It was cut from the Norfolk Daily drgus, and contained two polito questions lor Judge Douglas. Haviof ascertained the quastions thus propounded, liu said thereon : I am not in thehabit of answering que8 tiona propounded to mo in the courso of an address, but on this occasion I will com'.ly with therequest and respond very frankly and unequivocally to these two questions. The first question is, if Abraham Lincoln bo elected President of the United Stated will tho southern States bo justified in seceding from tha Union? To this I emphatically answer no.— [Great applause. | Tho election c>f a man tothe Presidency by the Ameri- can people, in conformity tothe consti- tution of the United States, would not justify any attempt at dissolving this glorious confederacy. [Applause]— Now I will read to you the next quss tion, and thon answer it. Question—It they, tho eon.hern States, secede from tho Union upon the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, be- fore ho commits anovert act against their constitutional rights, will you ad vise or vindicate resistance by force to their secession ? Voices—"No, no 1" "Bell men say no, Douglas." D theory that the election of Lincoln was preferable to that of Douglas. No man doubts that, if Breckinridge's friends had not seceded at Baltimore, but had acquiesced in the legitimate action of the convention, I would have, n this contest beaten Lincoln by the popular vote. A VOICE—"That's so." r p ^ Mr. DOUQI.AS—Loss than one third of Jtock rising is still tho^cry, the convention seceded from the two- j lt| «,,,,, thirds on the ground that southern I rights were not safe in my hands, and ! that hence it was necessary to divide \ the party in every State of the Union, ' Tho train started off to Potersl At Suffolk Htat'uin some hundred p.. sons had assembled, who cheuroJ ily as the iron-horse again started on his way with a snort which reverbera- ted through the echoing woods \vh lity right iu our path on either widtf. But here at Petersburg a most en- thusiastic reception awaited him. As the train advanced to tho depot the loud report of a cannon startled the timid. Another and anothar followed, and, an.id the roaring of cannon, tho sfains of a band of music, and the welcoming cheers of a large concourse of peoplu, Judge Douglas alighted. It was with difficulty he made his way to an open barouoh, retained to convey him to his hotel. Thither the crowd followed, and, in a short time, the Judge appeared and briefly addressed tiiom. He reserved himself for a great- er sepeuh to-morrow evening, under promise of which the crowd, well pleased, quiotly dispersed. Douglas Fioin the N. Y. Timed, August 2T, Foreign Intervention in Mexioo- We havo the best authority lor stat- ing that the Mexican question is on the so that Lincoln might have a chance of po ; nt of being purarn pt ori ]] y 8o ttlod by running in between the divided forces - J--;-:-- :_^ .- »- •• ..* SUE NEVER SCOLDS.—"Mother, I guess you'll bo very sorry when you know how bad I've torn my dresn," said little Angic Wales, when sho came from school one day, "but tho teacher pinned it over so nicely, you can't see it now ; it caught against some boards when I WJS run- ning." "It is almost too bad to r&end," said tho mother, as she took out pin after pin, and examined the rent, "but I hope you thanked vour teacher for piuning it so nice- '•I didn't mother, for-when I told her about it, she scolded so it made me cry, and I forgot all about thanking; and then said I was sill} 7 to cry for scolding, and asked mo if I cried every time my moth- er scolded, aud I was thinking about that and forgot." "And did you not tell her that I fre- quently complain of your crying so easi- ly?" "I told her that you said I cried at nothing sometimoa, but I nover criud when you scolded 'cause you never scold- ed." The mother was silent. She felt that her child had unconsciously commended the right and reproved tho wrong, and hoped the reproof might bo taken kindly, Aud it was so, for whenever the reproved was tempted t;i speak harsh and unkind words to a little child, the echo of the words "she never scolds," would prevent their utterance. &3T* A goose that sees another drink, will do tho same, tliough it is not thirsty. The custom <>f drinking for company, when drinking is dispen- sable, and prejudicial, seems to be a case of the sline kind, and to put a man, feathers only exempted, upon a footing with a RO080. Mr. DOUGLAS—I answer emphatically that it is tho duty of the President of tho United States, and all others in authority under him, to enf'orco tho lavw of tho United States as pushed by Con- gress and as the Court expounds them. [Cheers.] And I, as in duty bound by my oath of fidelity to tho constitution, would do all in my power to aid the government of tho United States in maintaining the supremacy of thu law against all resistance to them, come from what quarter it might. [Good | In other words, I think tho President of tho United Stares, whoever he may be,should treat all atteuiptd to break up tho Union by resistance to its laws as Old Hickory treated the nullifies in 1832. [Applause.] Tho laws must bo enforced, but at thu same time, be it re- membered it is tho duty of every citi- zen, of every State, aud every public functionary, to preserve, maintuin aud vindicate the rights of every oitizoa and tha rights of every State in the Union. I hold that the constitution has a remedy for every grievance that may arise within tho limits of the Union. I am very frank in answering these questions. I am not in favor ol any policy which would tend to give rise to complaints or murmuring*, much less of such as would eall iov resistance from an,, quarter. 1 acknowledge the inherent and inalienable right to- revolution whenever a grieveance bo comes too burdensome to beborne. I acknowledge the right of every man,.to rebol and change the form ot govern- ment under which he lives whenever it proves de.struc'ive' to tiie ettda for wSfoh if was established. That i'is a right, however, never-.iobe re^oi'tod to until the operations-; of- the government be- come moro griti.vj:<His th;m,.tl}o conse- quences of revolution. Aud' therefore I say that tlio mere inauguration of a President of the United States whose political opinions were in my judgmont hostile to tbo constitution and safety of the Union, without auovert act on his part, without striking a blow at our constitution or our rights, is not such a griovanco as would justify revolution or secession. [Ciiee-rs j Hence, I say. whoover may bo eltoed President of the United States, he must ba sustaiuod in tho exercise of all hisjust constitu- tional prerogatives and powers. If he transoonds them we will punish him with all thu rigor of law, as you pun- ished John Brown when he vio.atud your laws. [A storm of applause] 1 lor ono will sustain with all my energy the President whenever he may be in tho exercise f all powers conferred up- on him by the constitution, but 1 would take just aa much pleasure iu hang- ing him if he transcended those powers as 1 feel pleasure in knowing that you hanged John Brown wh«n hewas guil- ty of murder and treason against tho State of Virginia [ Renowal ol storm " 1 am a law-abiding man, a L T niou-lovii:g man, and I believe the Union can bo maintained bya faithful observance of the constitution ; but I insist on exact- ing tho fulfillment in good faith of ove- ry provision of the constitution ; 1 in- sist on aline of policy which will plai a all tho people ofall the States on an ex- act equality, and maintain and protect them in their just rights, but which will also compel obedience to the constitution and the constituted authorities of tho country. Now, those qiienti'ins, put to me tho first day I landed on Virginia Hufrj having emanate.1 H'oni the friends of the secessionist candidates, I ask that like questions may bo also put to thoso candidates, and that you insist upon such frank aud unequivocal answer as I havo given. of the democratic party and get elected by a majority vots. A VOICE— '-That's so." Mr. DODOLAS—The only ostensiblo and true object sought in making a Breckinridgo ticket in the Northern States was to divide the democratic party so as to give Lincoln every one of these States, so that I tell you, if Lin- coln is electsd President, it will bo the secessionists whom you will have to bkme for it. A VOICE—"That's so." Mr. DOUGLAS—Lincoln his no hope of being elocted except through the ef- forts of tha secessionists, who have di- vided tho democratic party—supposing that Breckinridge could carry every southern Stats—though it now seems he is not going to carry a single one by tho people. Still, by dividing the North, he gives every one of the States to Lincoln, thus allowing him to bo elected by the popular vote. Why, what was the true aspect of tho contest before the secession ? Lincoln hud DO show whatever for more than two States till the Breckinridge division took place, and I would have beaten him in every State but Vermont and Massachusetts. As it is, I think 1will beat him in al- most all of them yet. [Cheers ] But, should Lincoln be elected, tho sacos bianists, who nominated and now sup- port Breckinridga, will ba entitled to the credit, of jt, and upon them will rest the responsibility of having adopted the fatal policy, and. dreading the rasult of their own rash and unpatriotic acts, which gives to Lincoln a chance of suc- cess, they oorao forward and ask me if I will help them to dissolve the Union in event of Lincoln being uiised to the Presidential chair, i tell them nJ never on earth. [Cheera and cries ot "Grood."]Iam for putting down northern abolitionism, but am also for putting down southern seo«ssionists,;»nd that,too, by the exercise of the same constitutional power. f''GooJ."[ I believe that the : oo, tha harmony and the safety of ih;s country depaud upon destroy ing both factions. fUhsers.J Both parlies, if parties they can be called, are allies in a common cause ; for, however hos- tile they may be to each other, however iposei in purposes and objj.;t, yot their courso ot action lends to tho sa;no deplorable result; and, without moan ing any disrespect or personal unkind- ness, I believe that, iu thoevent of the success of eithor party, the 6^CCBSS of northern abolitionists or that of the southern secessionists, the Union and our glorious constitution are alike put in peril and danger. Northern aboli- tionism could not exist iov any length of timo except there was a counterpoise demanding the intervention of tho South. The republicans demand Cou gressionai interference against slavery, whilo the secessionists demand that Congress shall interfere to protect and extend shivery. This is the pivot on which both parties turn ; this, my triends, is the whole state of the case ; these aro the dangers to beapprehondod, and thus it devolves upon you to rally to tho rescue, and by voting the nation- al democratic ticket, placed before thu countiy by tho Baltimore convention, to preserve this glorious Union.— [Cheers and cries ot "Aud wo will do His speech has made a most favora- ble impression here in Norfoik. Num- bers of Breckinridge men publicly pro- claim their defection from that party and their adherence to Douglas. On Monday, Mr. Douglas will visit Old Point Comfort, and thence proceed to Petersbug. He will address the peoplo there on Tuesday, and proceed to lialeigh to att nd a convention to bo held on Thursday noxt. Ho will speak thure and then proceed to Richmond. Ho halts there, and addro^es a public meeting on Fiiday. PETERSBURG, Va., Aug. 27. This wus a great day wilh Douglas. Himself and .lyijjnds wore all agog about hulf-piist four this morning.— Leaving tho National Hotel, at Norfolk, ere 3 r et the s--un sprang forth ivjoieiiig in his splendor, they pro. eodecj on board a steamboat which had been spo ciallv chartered for tho occasion, and, as soon as the la>t expected loiterer got on board, started on a trip to Hampton. Unannounced as tho occasion was, thoro were but tho usual Wharf foitere'r* about when the steamer jsjot to Hampton.— There*, subsequently, however, Mr. Doughia addressed a little knot of pe > pie, with his usual success. A couple of hours sufficed to crsate a de-ira to get away, and, on the shrill summons of the steamer's whistle, there was an immense stampede from the hotel. Tho next visit was to Point Comfort. There theparty again lauded, withan u decisive intervention of four of tho great Powers most deeply interested iu the restoration of ord«r throughout the. dominions of our distracted neighbor- hood. France, England, Spain and Prussia have signed a convefiti-^nf or tho pacification of Mexico, to which they in rite the adhesion of the United States, but which they propose to carry in;o ef- feo!; without the adhesion shuu<<i tho Un'to 1 Statee refuse it. The bases of toleration for all religious opin'ons, and of a modified estaliahmeot tor the Roman Catholic Church, are un- derstood to hare been already accepted by tho constitutionalists undor Juan /, on the one part, and by the clercal party under Miramon on tho other. An armistice of twolvo months' duration i to be declared between the respective leaders, and during this period thjsu portions of Mexico occupied by each are to be held without dispute by the actual occupants, joint action being ta- ken to secure the carrying on the nec- essary business of the public administra- tion anf! tho maintenance of ordor. At a time to bo hereafter lixed, the pouple of Mexico are to be called upon to elect between tho principles represented by tho two. factions, and tho respective leaders pledge thomselvos toresign all their authority and arms into the hands of tho government thus designa- ted under the sauction of the interven- ing Powors. i The grounds of this action, already submitted to the administration at Washington, aro, that tho party of Juarez, which might have b^en estab- lished as the supreme executive more than a year ago, under the terms of the treaty proposed by Sanor Ocamp> through McLane to tho Washington government, 'has demonstrated i*« in- capacity of conquering power, and thi United States have definitely abdica tod their pretensions to aid it in th';-) conquest; that thu party of Miramt - in like manner has proved itself depoi ent upon an isolated intervan i >n 1 Spain, which is in every point of vio uide. i ..bio; and that the interests of the subjects ot ths intervening Powers, and of civilization goueraliy, can no longer be left at the mercy of the part- isan warfare which has raged for si v years in Alexico, and has reduced tbo country to the very brink of cbao?. It is unnecessary for us to point out to ittir readers the gravity and import- ance of this act on the part of the Eu- ropean States. Our own government is understood tohave announced thu', whi'e a pacific intervention of the sort contemplated, if it fails to command the assistance, cannot provoke tho h*;s- tiffty of the United States, no armed in- terUronoa to enforce its provisions must be mado without due previous notice communicated to the administration at Washington. The resuits reached are attributed principally to 'he activity of the Prus- sian Minister in Mexico, whose country- men arelargely represented in tho for- eign population of tha republic, and to the influence of L >rd John Russell. DOMESTIC FAULT;--.—A writer tfuis speaks of tho fatal influence of tho small faults on the peaco of house- holds : " Homes nre more often darkened by the continual reourreneo of small fault*, than by the actual presence of any do.:id<»d vice. Thew evils arj ap- parontlv of dissimilar magnitude; yet it is easier to grapple with one than tha other. The Eastern travelers on com- bine his forces, and hunt down the tiger that prowls upon his path ; but ho scarcely escapes tlio mosquitoes that iu- fest tha air ho brea:hs.s or the fleas that swarms in the sand he tre:i Is. Tho drunkard has been known to renounce his dirling vieo; the slave t > dress and extravnganee, her beset' 1rigsin ; but Hie waspish temper, the- irritating tbria, rude dogmatic manner, and the hun- dred nameless negligences that spoil the beauty of association have raruly done- other than proceed till the action of dis- gust and gradual nlionation has turned all the currents of affection from their course, leaving nothing but a barren track over which the rn<M*e skeleton of oompanionthip stalks alotfe." Getting hor Money's Worth. Fanny Fern, oace stopping at the office of a Philadelphia hotel to pay her bill, on the ove of departure, found a e!wr<2;e for breaking of her toilet set. She admitted the breakage of one piece, and desired t> p.iy for that only. The price of the whole waa demanded', Localise the set was broken. The carriage was at the door; there was no time for discussion, but enough for action. Hastily paying tlio demand, and directing the carriage to wait a moment, she went directly back to g A VOICE.—"They square" M could not do it Mr. DOUGLAS Renumber that Mr. kiida vt, a nominated on llt>i accession of riamlScnJ.

The Game of Lifo-

EV ELIZA COOK.

WITS eager hnnd Hope deftly weavesTRe mantlet that our pridti would don.

While bu»y-finger'd C;uu unreavasThe giii'm^iita 58 we put them on.

Wo roar our palaces of joy,And tread them with exulting shout,

Till, crumbling pound,'tw plainly foundSome coi'ner-stoiHs have been left out.

Ana thus we |.lay the game of Life,Shadow tin J substance ever blending;

'Mid flowers of Peaco and tares of Sir.foGaily begimuug, sadly ending.

The maiden'greeta her swain to-day,'J hey jar to morrow, and she flou?9 him,

Now sha believes whate'er he'll say.A month has gone,-alas! she doubts him;

The lover hangs upon a glance,,With glowing trust and earnest suoing;

Next year he rouses from his trance,And scorns the one he late was woing.

And thus we p'«y tho g.imo of Life,Our dreams dispell'd,our plans defeated,

And when we've lost with pain and cost,Still stand, as ready to be cheated.

The cooing infant's rosy mouthAptly receives the sweeten'd potion;

When waves are calm, and winds are south,None see the death-rooks in the ocean.

The rich man toils to "gather up,"Meaning to ba>k in Fortune's clover.

And while he pours into his cup,Fcrceiv«s not it is running over.

And thus we play the game of Life,Now simply snared, now wisely brooding,

Now bribed by smiles, now fipeadin^ wiles,Living deluded aud deluding.

The poet prattles to the s'ars,Philosophers dus et the thunder,

But bolh are stopp'd by crystal bars'And stand ouUide to watch and wonder.

Wo moralise on battle, plains.Where blood lias poured, and famo was

We turn and ^ee the baby's glee [won,Over his mimic sword aud jjun.

And thus wo play the game of Life,'Twixt holy Thought aud fearful Deed,

tome only stay to work and pray,And some but live for Crime and Greed.

Our feet of clay trip up each other,Our wii gs of ether seek the sky;

We breathe—we are—child follows mother.Yet none can tell us "How?" or ' 'Why?"

Our hearts like clocks, keep ticking fast,We climb aud laugh, we fall and weep,

Till, tired of guessing, at th e lastWe solve the riddle in a sloep.

And thus we play the game of Life,In molly garbs of Grief and Pleasure,

Till we are drest in that green vestFor which the sexton takes our measurs.

Last Charge of the Old Guard.A nsw French work gives the following

grand pen-pictur« of the last desperatecharge of Napoleon's "Old Guard," atWaterloo :

"During the"d:iy the artillery of ths3uard under Drouefc, maintained its ownenown, and the Guard itself had fre-

rjuentiy boon used to rosiore the battle invarious part* of the field, and alwayswith success. The English were fast be-coming exhausted, and in an hour morewould have been foroed in to a disastrousdefeat, but for the timely arrival of Jilu-cher. But when they saw him with 30,-000 Prussians approaching, their couragsrevived, while Napoleon was filled withamazement. A beaten enemy about to'orin a junction with tho allies whileGrouchy, who had beeu sent to keep them"n check, was nowhere to bo seen! Alas!what great plans a single inefficient com-mander can overthrow !

"In a moment Napoleon saw that hecould not sustain the attack of so manyfresh troops, if once allowed to form aunction with the allied forces; and he

determined to stake his fata on ono boldcast, and endeavored to pierce the alliedenter with a grand charge of the Old

Guard, and thua throw himself betweenthe two armies. For this purpose theImperial Guard I M called up, and divi-ded into immense columns which woro tomeet in the British centre. That underllaille was no sooner in the fire than it dis-appeared like mist. The other was underNey, the 'bravest of the brave,' and anorder to advance given. Napoleon ac-companied them part of the way downthe slope, and halting a few moments iuthe hollow, addressed them a fe->v words.He told them that the battle rested withthem, that he relied on their valor, triedon so many fields. 'Vive l'Empereur!'answered him with a shout that was heardabove the thunder of the artillery.

''The whols continental struggle exhi-bited no subliiaer spectacle than the lasteffort of Napoleon to savo his sinkingempire. The greatest military skill andenergy the world ever possessed had beentaxed to the utmost during the day.—Thrones were tottering on the turbulentfield, aud the shadows of fugitive kingsflitted through the smoke of the field ofbattle. Bonaparte watched with intenseanxiety the advance of that column,when the smoke of the battle wrapped itfrom his eight, aud the utter despair ofhis great heart, when the curtain liftedover a fugitive army, and the despairingsiy-iek rang out, 'Tho Guard recoils! theGuard reooils!' makes us for a momentforget all the carnage in sympathy withhis distress.

"The old guard felt the presence ofthe immense responsibility, and resolvednot to prove unworthy of the great trustcommitted to it. Nothing could be moreimposing than its movnmeuts to. the as-sault. It had never recoiled before froma human foe, and the allied forces beheldwith awe its firm and steady advance tothe final charge. For a moment the bat-teries stopped playing, and tho firingceased along the British line, as, withoutthe beating of a drum or a bugle note tocheer their courage, they moved in deadsilence over the field Their tread waslike the muffled thunder, while the daz-zling helmets of cuirassiers flashed longlines of light upon the dark aud terriblemass that swopt in one strong wave along.The stern Drouet was then amid his guns,and on every brow was writtcD the unal-terable resolution to conquer or die. Thenext moment the artillery opened, andthe head of that gallant column seemedto sink into the earth. Rank after rankwent down: yot they neither stopped norfaltered. Dissolving squadrons and wholebattalions disappearing one after anotherin tho destructive fire affected not theircourage. The ranks closed up as before,and each treading over his fallen com-rades, passed unflinchingly on.

"The horse which Ney rode sank un-der him, and scarcely had ho mounted an-other before it also sank to tho earth, andso another and another, till five in suc-cession had been shot from under him.—Then, with his drawn saber, ho marchedsternly at the head of his column. Invain did the artillery hurl its storm ofiron upon that living mass. Up to thevery muzzle they pressed, and driving theartillery men from their pieces, pressedon through the English line. But, justas the victory seemed wou, a file of sol-diers who lay flat on the ground, behinda ridge of earth, suddenly rose and poureda volley in their very faces. Anotheranl another followed, lil] one broad slice

of flames rolled on their bosoms, and insuch fierce and uucxpected flow, that theystaggered before it. Before the Guardhaif time to rally again and advance, aheary column of infantry foil on its leftflank in close and deadly volley, causingit, in its unsettled state, to swerve on theright. At that instant a whole brigadeof cavalry thundered on the right flank,aud penetrated where cavalry had nevergone before.

"The intrepid Guard could have bornoup against the unexpected fire from sol-diers they did not see; and would haverolled back the infantry that had boldlycharged their flank; but the cavalry fin-ished the disorder into which they hadbeen momentarily thrown, and broke theshaken ranks before they had time to re-form, and the eagles of tho hitherto in-vincible Guard were pushed baoKwarddown the slope. It was then the army,seized with despair, shrieked out, 'TheGuard recoib! the Guard recoils!' andturned and fled in wild dismay. To seetho Guard in confusion, was a sight theyhad never before beheld, and it froze ev-ery heart with terror.

"For a long time they stood and let thecannon balls pass through their ranks,disdaining to turn their backs on thsfoe. Miohel, at the head of these battal-ions, fought like a lion. To every oom-mand of tho enemy to surronder, he re-plied: ' Ths Guard dm but never surrenders!'Aud, with his last breath bequeathingthis glorious motto to the Gmti'J, he fella witness to its truth. Death traversedthose eight battalions with such rapidfootsteps that they soon dwindled away totwo, which turned in hopeless daring onthe overwhelming numbers that pressedon their retiring footsteps.

''Last of all but a single battalion, thedebris of the 'oolumn of granite' at Ma-rengo, was left. Into this Napoleonflung himself. Cambreuil, it* brave com-mander, saw with terror tho Emperor inits frail keeping. Ho was not strugglingnow for victory: he was intent oaly onshowing how the Guard could die. Ap-proaching the Emperor, he cried out:Retire! Do you not see that death has

no need of you?' and closing mournfullybut sternly round the expiring eagles,those brave hearts bade Napoleon an eter-nal adieu, and, flinging themselves on theenemy, were soon piled with the dead attheir feet.

"Many of tho officers were seen to de-stroy themselves rather than suffer defeat.Thus, greater even in its own defeat thanany other corps of men in gaining a vic-tory, the Old Guard passed from thostage, and tho curtain dropped upon itsstrange career. It had fought its lastbattle."

A ROYAL MISTAKE.—Prince "Williamof Baden who is the Austrian service,was expected to visit the bridge at Kehl,and orders were given to receive himwith all (he honors due to his rank.—Timo passed, and still he did not come.—At last Major Weyler, who was in com-mand at Kehl, received a telegraphicdispatch as follows: "I leave to-morrowevening, about 4 o'clock. Come to thestation to meet me. WILLIAM." Imme-diately the Major notified the civil andmilitary authorities at Kehl. He gavenotice that all the workmen on thobridge, and all the soldiers of the engi-neers, should be ready, in full dress, atthe timo of tho prince's arrival. In con-sideration of tho time of his coming, thePrince would have to dine at Kehl. TheMajor organized t, little banquet oftwenty covers, and as the Kehl cooks arenot up to the times, he went and orderedthe dinner from the bast restauratur ofStrasburg. The next day all was ready.The civil authorities were at the station,adorned with the insignia of their office;the military were drawn up in fine arraybefore the station. At last tho whistleof the locomotive announced the approachof the train. It stopped at tho station,and tho passengers got out. Whero isthe Prince? No Prince appears. But aman pushes away tho crowd, aud throwshimself into the arms of the astonishedMajor. It was his brother, Mr. WilliamWeyler, whom ho did not expect, andwho had sent him the dispatch thatcaused tho blunder. At first the civiland military authorities seemed disposedto be angry. But the amazed look of theMajor soon showed that the trtek was in-voluntary, and that he himself was its firstvictim. Then a smile came over everyface. The thing was taken in good part.The banquet was eaten gaily and founddelicious. A hogshead of boor wastapped, and consoled the soldiers for thetrouble they had gone to. The Major'sbrother is still proud of having beeu re-ceived with such honors.

THE FIBST CIGAR.—Among a certainclass- of ill-trained boys, smoking andchewing are thought to bo unquestionablerequisites to all who would be consideredmanly and independent. A few daysago I saw a ragged, pale-faced, sorrow-looking boy, about nine years old, puffingwhat was evidently bis first cigar. • Hestood leaning against a house, his cheeksdrawn in, hi* eyes red and watery, hiscountenance ! bearing tho expression ofnausea, and altogether looking as tlioughho was ready to repent of his foolish bar-gain. Several other lads, a little older,stood around him, encouraging him, anx-iously awaiting tho result of the experi-ment. Poor, silly boy! He probablythought it was a fine, manly thing ho waslearning, instead of a dirty, disgustingand unhealthy habit, which will prove acurao to him as long as he lives, if notbroken up. I can hardly boliove howould have endured the deathly nauseaof that first cigar with such murtyr-likopatience, had he suspected the realnature of the procoss he was goingthrough.

There are other boys every clay goingthrough the same initiatory steps, undertho same strange delusion. Some, intowhose hands this paper will fall, may boexposed to tho same danger. To such Iwould say, beware how you acquire thishabit. Tho use of tobacco, whether bychow ing, smoking, or snuffing, is both aphysical and moral evil. It is only evil,and evil continually. The most skillfulphysicians in tho world havo testifiod toits dangerous effects upon the system.—Tho most eminent men in the variousother walks of life—clergymen and teach-ers, judges and lawyers, men of literature,art, science and morals, have denouncedthe use of tobacco as one of tho greatestevili of the day. It would be difficult tofind a candid and well-informed man, whowould seriously deny this position, gowell established is the fact.

CS^To euro poverty—sit down andgrowl about it.

Swimm'.ng Race With A Shark-Young gentlemen! young gentlemen!

skylarking; at tins tune! For shamedisturbing the whole wardroom! Sinceyou are so wakeful you shall makeyourselves useful. You Mr. Fatal, goto the masthead, and watch for signalsfrom the Jamestown. Mr. Seymour,go ashore in the second cutter for freshbeof; and you, Mr. Burges. take chargeof the fatigue party and go to the cor^lreef for balast.'

'Not tny turn, sir,' wliinad 1.'Don't answer me back, sir,' retorted

our first lioutenaot, as kind hearted aman and as thorough a sailor aa evertrod a dock; something of a martinetwithal, especially with us middies.

'Go out of your turn; then, sir, aspunishment for this unseemly conduct—and go in fatigue dres?, too, sir—and be quick about it, sir!'

I said no more, but Mad Jack, thepatronymic, wo bestowed on Lieutenant E went back to his state-room and I proceeded to invest myweary limbs in b'ue flanuel trowseis,to don a shirt of tho same material,and to put my foet into a pair of thinpumps, when I found myself ready forduty. My bolt of side arms over myshoulder, iastead of my waist, and anold Panama hat upon my hoad, com-pleted my equipment; and I hastenedon deck in timo to see poor Falas onbis way to the masthead.

'Away there, you launch ers ausayP'called the boatswain, and tho twentymen tumbled into tho launch and awaywe wont, slowly and sluggishly. Tboofficer on deck called out to me to comeon board at gun-fire for breakfast, andwarned me that I was responsible formy men.

We landed at a bo'd reach, and themen went to work with a will. Theheavy pieces of brilliant white orcolored coral, that grow up from thereef like trees, were ruthlesly brokenoff and lifted iuto the boat. Thowat«r on tho reef was from two to fourfoot deep, and the men were in tht$water up to their waists, and I from mylow stature was often up to my nock,as I went groping after beautiful speci-mens of coral. I had left my cutlassand pistols in tho locker of tho launch,and as I woro nothing that I feared toinjure, was enjoying myself in tho luke-WUIMI wate:\ As I went poking round, Ifound tho cascusa of a dead porpoise,that had apparently been killed by asword-fish, embayed among the coralppires. With tho help of one of thomen, I pulled of a lump of barnaclesthat clung to its belly and pushed it offto the leeward of tho lodge. Thenseating myself on a clump of brokenspires I sat about examining these atmy leisure, thinking that I might beable to distinguish their species, bvreason of the long talks with whichour kind old surgeon had often boredme upon his passion—conchology.

The specimens were hardly disenga-ged from the foreign matter aboutthem, whem my attention was attractedby a shoal of shovel-nosed sharksfighting over the body of my dead por-poise; but they soon sank and thecause of their dispute with them.—Now I was fairly engaged in consid-ering the genius of my crustaceas,having some of them open and waitingthe effect of the light on them, when,

j bang, went the gun from tho ship, andI saw a recall signal flying. Now,though I was ready enough for break-fast, I wanted about ten more minutesover my new found pleasures; so I toldthe cockswain to get tho men in theirplaces and make ready to start. Itwas no sooner said than done, for therascals were hungry.

'All ready to shove off, sir,' saidHarvoy.

'Then shove off, and be hangod toyou,' 1 responded. 'I will swim off toyou' knowing that I could swim twolengths of the boat whilo they pulledone, so heavily was she loaded. Green,as he pulled the first stroke, sung out:

'Watch out for sharks, sir?" Butas we all had a contompt for shovel-noses, I paid no attention to the caution.

So ofl' they wont, and I went on withmy studies, But soon 1 found that Icould do nothing with the subject.—Like the boat it was too deep for me—so off I started. Tho launch was nowsome hundred yards the start ot me,but I knew that I could reach it beforethey had doubled the distance, so Iwarn leisurely along after them. Alleat once I saw Green spoak to thcockswain, £who dropped the t.ller andstood up in the stern sheets, and lookedas if abo.it to eall me, Then Greenpulled his frock, aud they pulledtogether. Wbat-does this moan, Iwondered. All this time the boat hadbeen headed for the ship. Now theychanged their course, fairly heading forthe shore, so that by the force of thetide they would fairly come across mycourse. 'Halloo,' thinks I—'they'eroff for tho shore and bound for a day'srun. Oh: if I were only in the boatwouldn't I break their heads with thotiller!'

I shouted to them to keep theircourse or I'd fix'om. Harvey shoutedback to mo in a voica that soundedtremulous, taunting me with slow swim-ming. I answered without losing astroke that I would show 'em what Icould do: aud, indeod I was> doing mybest. Now irlarvey stood up in thostern-sheets, with a long boathook inhis hand harpoon fashion, now renewinghis slow swimming, and damning themen for slow pulling, though they werebending their oars as I never sawthem bent before. I couldn't answorwithout abating my spaed, so I con-tented myself with bearing down ontheir quarter; and the courso theywere pulling now helped mu. Greennow dropped his oar in tho water andhis head out of sight, and before Icould wonder at it, sprang on thethwurt with one of my pistols in eachhand and cocked them. Harvey,Greon and the men were all shoutingat once, but what they said I could notunderstand.

Their manner terrified mo; I fearedthey had boon drinking, and that theywere determined to get to the shore,though it were over my body; and thisfeeling increased as 1 saw thethreatening manner in which Harveybrandished his boat-hook.

My first thought was to swim theother way, but L couldn't reach theshore. 'I'll press on to the boat,' Ithought, 'they'll not dare to strike me,'and so with my last remaining energy,1 daetrod on. But ti.x or eight

fathoms separated mo from the boatwhen a simultaneous cry broko fromthe men; some dropped their oarn; onecovered his face with his hands; Greenfired a pistol, as I thought, at my hoad.I screamed and tried to dive, but Iwas too weak. Bang, wont tho otherpistol but still I wa3 unhurt. Now oldHarvey poised the sharp-pronged boat-hook, and darted it fair at my head,with all tho dexterity ho had gained asa whaler but it did not hit me. Itmight as well, for I was completelyexhausted; and now, with one thoughtof home, and ono glance at heaven Ifound rnysell siukicg. But I was nowquite near tho boat, and old Harvey,stretching out his full length, almostseized me by the hair of tho head,thrusting me under the water.

I thought I was a 'goner;' but theold fellow kept his hold and draggedme to the boat, and then, laying holdof my trousers by the suat, and a littlemore, raised my body with a force that,at tbo 8ame time nearly scalped andunseated me, into the boat as thoughI was another stone to oomplete theload, and thtn sinking upon the thwart,burst into tears. This singular action,and a tremendoous threshing alongside,me. I looked over, and then I saw theKey to the behavior of the men andot Harvey's dosire to make me swimtaster. It was a twenty-foot, hammer-headed, white-nosed, shark, the 'manoater,' on his baok, and bleeding fromtwo open wouuds, with the boat hooktransfixed in his white belly. Thesense of tho past danger was too muchfor me. i'or tho first timo in my lifeI fainted.

When I recovered my senses I wasin my hammock, under the hands of thoassistant surgeon; for the surgeonhaving found u lump of crusiaceatucked in my bosom, had deserted mofor bis favorite. But I rallied quickly,and was about my duties the next day,and beloro that was able to pour outmy gfatitudw to the noble fellows,whose judicious conduct as well asactive exertions hud saved me from alorr.bie (Jeath. But I fait tho effect ofmy hoist from tho water for severaldays, not being able to comb my hairor even to sit down without pain.

Mad Jack sent me a big pot of coffeethe ; oxt morning, and put mo on theblack-list for a week as punishment fornot recovering the boat-hook which rnyfriend the hammor-head had swam oilwith in his belly.

Outriding the Storm.Willis, in one of hie letters from the

West, describes a race between a trainof cars and a thunder-storm: "To over-take a thunder shower, whirl through itand outrun it, was the first of the day'sexoiting novelties. We saw it ahead ofus, on the prairie, as you see a singleblack cloud in the sky, with sunshine allaround it. It was moving in the samedirection as ourselves, probably at abouttwenty miles au hour; and we soon be-gan to overtake it with our better har-nessed thunder anil lightning. The con-ductor pointed the dark mass out to me,some ten or fifteen minutes before we en-tered tho outer skirt of the shower; andwe were in a pelting rain, with lightningaud peals of thunder, for perhaps tenminutes—emerging in fair weather on theother side, and leaving the storm to lagafter us, like a "slow coach" that it was!But, oertaiuly, it was very queer thus togive thunder and lightning tho go by. Itseemed to mo, somehow, anticipatory ofanother state of things. When wo gotelegraphing about, at the beginning ofour spirit travels in the next life, I amsuro I shall have a vague impression ofhaving dono something of that sort, be-fore—this experience ol distancing a well-trained thunder-cloud being laid away inmy memory. But it is to the wild ani-mals of the prairie that the swiftness ofthe rail-train is most inexplicable. Agesupon ages havo established certain rela-tive rates of speed between man and thesubject races of creation — the mountainhunter being the fastor pursuer for whichthe elk and reiudeer, the bear and prairiewolf, the fox and tho wild-cat, the skunk,otter and marten, aro all prepared. Thesmall line of tho rail-track, nearly hiddenin grass, is not recognized by theso wan-derers over the vast plains of tho West,and, while thinking themselves still safein thoir owa. horizou-edged wilderness,they suddenly see the coming of the newmonster. It is a daily experience of thotrains on this railroad aoross Illinois, toovertake some one or more- of them; andit is curious (so the different conductorsaud brakemen all told me) how none ofthem seem to have the sagacity to escapeby running off at right angles. Almostinvariably they flee before tho pursuer,and aro run down, at last, to fall faintingwith terror and exhaustion in tho neighborhood of the track."

MR. DOUGLAS IN THE SOUTH.

His Ike option and Speech at Norfolk, Va,Special Dispatch to th - S. Y. Herald,

NORFOLK, VU., Aug. 26.The Little Giant arrived here on )'es-

terday. His reception was most on-thusiastic He has entered on the cam-paign South under the most auspiciouscircumstanr.es. On landing, ha expres-sed his thanks lor tho unexpectedwarmth of his welcome, and for accup-1« of hours afterwards was ocenpiod inreoeiving his friend* at the hotel.

During tho day he visited Portsmouth, by invitation, and was escortedto tho Ocean House there, and under-went the con mony of a reception.

Iu the evening an immense crowdgathered on tho streets of Norfolk, bon-fires were lighted, bands played, and aqueer time of it altogether was had,fermenting and enthusiasm foreign tothe Nororlkoritos. A committee of ar-rangements wa» formed, and, undertheir direction, tho whole body of peo-ple proceeded to the Court Houseyard.

Judge Douglas appeared there, also,and, taking his stand oti the topmoststep of the stone-flight leading to theentrance of the building, he proceededat once to address tho assemblage, coinputed at six thousand people. Hespoke for nearly two hours, and madeone of the most forcible of his popularsovertignty speeches.

In the middle of his address a slip ofpaper was handed to him. It was cutfrom the Norfolk Daily drgus, andcontained two polito questions lorJudge Douglas.

Haviof ascertained the quastionsthus propounded, liu said thereon : Iam not in the habit of answering que8tiona propounded to mo in the courso ofan address, but on this occasion I willcom'.ly with the request and respondvery frankly and unequivocally to thesetwo questions.

The first question is, if AbrahamLincoln bo elected President of theUnited Stated will tho southern Statesbo justified in seceding from tha Union?

To this I emphatically answer no.—[Great applause. | Tho election c>f aman to the Presidency by the Ameri-can people, in conformity to the consti-tution of the United States, would notjustify any attempt at dissolving thisglorious confederacy. [Applause]—Now I will read to you the next qusstion, and thon answer it.

Question—It they, tho eon.hernStates, secede from tho Union upon theinauguration of Abraham Lincoln, be-fore ho commits an overt act againsttheir constitutional rights, will you advise or vindicate resistance by force totheir secession ?

Voices—"No, no 1" "Bell men sayno, Douglas."

D

theory that the election of Lincoln waspreferable to that of Douglas. Noman doubts that, if Breckinridge'sfriends had not seceded at Baltimore,but had acquiesced in the legitimateaction of the convention, I would have,n this contest beaten Lincoln by the

popular vote.A VOICE—"That's so." r p ^Mr. DOUQI.AS—Loss than one third of Jtock rising is still tho^cry,

the convention seceded from the two- j lt| «,,,,,thirds on the ground that southern Irights were not safe in my hands, and !that hence it was necessary to divide \the party in every State of the Union, '

Tho train started off to PoterslAt Suffolk Htat'uin some hundred p..sons had assembled, who cheuroJily as the iron-horse again started onhis way with a snort which reverbera-ted through the echoing woods \vhlity right iu our path on either widtf.

But here at Petersburg a most en-thusiastic reception awaited him. Asthe train advanced to tho depot the loudreport of a cannon startled the timid.Another and anothar followed, and,an.id the roaring of cannon, tho sfainsof a band of music, and the welcomingcheers of a large concourse of peoplu,Judge Douglas alighted. It was withdifficulty he made his way to anopen barouoh, retained to conveyhim to his hotel. Thither the crowdfollowed, and, in a short time, theJudge appeared and briefly addressedtiiom. He reserved himself for a great-er sepeuh to-morrow evening, underpromise of which the crowd, wellpleased, quiotly dispersed. Douglas

SUE NEVER SCOLDS.—"Mother, I guessyou'll bo very sorry when you know howbad I've torn my dresn," said little AngicWales, when sho came from school oneday, "but tho teacher pinned it over sonicely, you can't see it now ; it caughtagainst some boards when I WJS run-ning."

"It is almost too bad to r&end," said thomother, as she took out pin after pin,and examined the rent, "but I hope youthanked vour teacher for piuning it so nice-

'•I didn't mother, for-when I told herabout it, she scolded so it made me cry,and I forgot all about thanking; and thensaid I was sill}7 to cry for scolding, andasked mo if I cried every time my moth-er scolded, aud I was thinking about thatand forgot."

"And did you not tell her that I fre-quently complain of your crying so easi-ly?"

"I told her that you said I cried atnothing sometimoa, but I nover criudwhen you scolded 'cause you never scold-ed."

The mother was silent. She felt thather child had unconsciously commendedthe right and reproved tho wrong, andhoped the reproof might bo taken kindly,Aud it was so, for whenever the reprovedwas tempted t;i speak harsh and unkindwords to a little child, the echo of thewords "she never scolds," would preventtheir utterance.

&3T* A goose that sees anotherdrink, will do tho same, tliough it isnot thirsty. The custom <>f drinkingfor company, when drinking is dispen-sable, and prejudicial, seems to be a caseof the sline kind, and to put a man,feathers only exempted, upon a footingwith a RO080.

Mr. DOUGLAS—I answer emphaticallythat it is tho duty of the Presidentof tho United States, and all others inauthority under him, to enf'orco tho lavwof tho United States as pushed by Con-gress and as the Court expounds them.[Cheers.] And I, as in duty bound bymy oath of fidelity to tho constitution,would do all in my power to aid thegovernment of tho United States inmaintaining the supremacy of thu lawagainst all resistance to them, comefrom what quarter it might. [Good |In other words, I think tho Presidentof tho United Stares, whoever he maybe,should treat all atteuiptd to break uptho Union by resistance to its laws asOld Hickory treated the nullifies in1832. [Applause.] Tho laws must boenforced, but at thu same time, be it re-membered it is tho duty of every citi-zen, of every State, aud every publicfunctionary, to preserve, maintuin audvindicate the rights of every oitizoaand tha rights of every State in theUnion.

A VOICE—"That's so."Mr. DOUGLAS—Lincoln his no hope

of being elocted except through the ef-forts of tha secessionists, who have di-vided tho democratic party—supposingthat Breckinridge could carry everysouthern Stats—though it now seemshe is not going to carry a single one bytho people. Still, by dividing theNorth, he gives every one of the Statesto Lincoln, thus allowing him to boelected by the popular vote. Why,what was the true aspect of tho contestbefore the secession ?

PETERSBURG, Va., Aug. 27.

This wus a great day wilh Douglas.Himself and .lyijjnds wore all agogabout hulf-piist four this morning.—Leaving tho National Hotel, at Norfolk,ere 3ret the s--un sprang forth ivjoieiiigin his splendor, they pro. eodecj onboard a steamboat which had been spociallv chartered for tho occasion, and,as soon as the la>t expected loiterer goton board, started on a trip to Hampton.Unannounced as tho occasion was, thorowere but tho usual Wharf foitere'r* aboutwhen the steamer jsjot to Hampton.—There*, subsequently, however, Mr.Doughia addressed a little knot of pe >pie, with his usual success. A coupleof hours sufficed to crsate a de-ira toget away, and, on the shrill summonsof the steamer's whistle, there was animmense stampede from the hotel.

Tho next visit was to Point Comfort.There the party again lauded, with an

u decisive intervention of four of thogreat Powers most deeply interested iuthe restoration of ord«r throughout the.dominions of our distracted neighbor-hood. France, England, Spain andPrussia have signed a convefiti- nf or thopacification of Mexico, to which theyin rite the adhesion of the United States,but which they propose to carry in;o ef-feo!; without the adhesion shuu<<i thoUn'to 1 Statee refuse it.

The bases of toleration for all religiousopin'ons, and of a modified estaliahmeottor the Roman Catholic Church, are un-derstood to hare been already acceptedby tho constitutionalists undor Juan /,on the one part, and by the clercalparty under Miramon on tho other. Anarmistice of twolvo months' duration ito be declared between the respectiveleaders, and during this period thjsuportions of Mexico occupied by eachare to be held without dispute by theactual occupants, joint action being ta-ken to secure the carrying on the nec-essary business of the public administra-tion anf! tho maintenance of ordor. Ata time to bo hereafter lixed, the poupleof Mexico are to be called upon to electbetween tho principles represented bytho two. factions, and tho respectiveleaders pledge thomselvos to resignall their authority and arms into thehands of tho government thus designa-ted under the sauction of the interven-ing Powors.

i The grounds of this action, alreadysubmitted to the administration atWashington, aro, that tho party ofJuarez, which might have b^en estab-lished as the supreme executive morethan a year ago, under the terms of thetreaty proposed by Sanor Ocamp>through McLane to tho Washingtongovernment, 'has demonstrated i*« in-capacity of conquering power, and thiUnited States have definitely abdicatod their pretensions to aid it in th';-)conquest; that thu party of Miramt -in like manner has proved itself depoient upon an isolated intervan i >n 1 •Spain, which is in every point of viouide. i ..bio; and that the interests ofthe subjects ot ths intervening Powers,and of civilization goueraliy, can nolonger be left at the mercy of the part-isan warfare which has raged for si vyears in Alexico, and has reduced tbocountry to the very brink of cbao?.

It is unnecessary for us to point outto ittir readers the gravity and import-ance of this act on the part of the Eu-ropean States. Our own governmentis understood to have announced thu',whi'e a pacific intervention of the sortcontemplated, if it fails to commandthe assistance, cannot provoke tho h*;s-tiffty of the United States, no armed in-terUronoa to enforce its provisions mustbe mado without due previous noticecommunicated to the administration atWashington.

The resuits reached are attributedprincipally to 'he activity of the Prus-sian Minister in Mexico, whose country-men are largely represented in tho for-eign population of tha republic, andto the influence of L >rd John Russell.

DOMESTIC FAULT;--.—A writer tfuisspeaks of tho fatal influence of thosmall faults on the peaco of house-holds :

" Homes nre more often darkenedby the continual reourreneo of smallfault*, than by the actual presence ofany do.:id<»d vice. Thew evils arj ap-parontlv of dissimilar magnitude; yetit is easier to grapple with one than thaother. The Eastern travelers o n com-bine his forces, and hunt down the tigerthat prowls upon his path ; but hoscarcely escapes tlio mosquitoes that iu-fest tha air ho brea:hs.s or the fleas thatswarms in the sand he tre:i Is. Thodrunkard has been known to renouncehis d irling vieo; the slave t > dress andextravnganee, her beset'1 rig sin ; butHie waspish temper, the- irritating tbria,rude dogmatic manner, and the hun-dred nameless negligences that spoil thebeauty of association have raruly done-other than proceed till the action of dis-gust and gradual nlionation has turnedall the currents of affection from theircourse, leaving nothing but a barrentrack over which the rn<M*e skeleton ofoompanionthip stalks alotfe."

First Firing of the Great Floyd Gun.OlD 1'OINT CoMFOBT, Va., Aug. 2'.).The curiosity of the artillery officers

and of the guests at Old Point wasgratified yesterday by tho first firingof the great "Floyd" gun of which 1have before spoken, The first shell,weighing 360 pounds, was thrownfifteen hundred and forty yards at anangle of five degree?, and, striking thosand, bounced seven hundred and fiftyyards further. Tho charge of powderwas twenty pounds. The second shell,weighing 328 pounds, was thrownsomething upward of lour miles on thewater, at an angle of forty degrees,and with a charge of twenty-livepounds of powder. The powder withwhich this gun is fired is in grainsof about ono inch cube. The report isno:, so loud us that made by the tun-inch guns on the ramparts, but thewhistling of the shell through the airi.s terrific. Tho shell thrown upon thowater was forty-two seconds in tho airbefore striking. The "Floyd'1 gun ispronounced a suceosa, and there seemsto bo no doubt it will reach a rangeof six or eight miles. It weighs 41),-09J lbs., and cost in itd casting $10,000.Both the 1 rojector (Capt. Hodman),and tho proprietor of tho Pitteburgfoundry p l r Knappj where the cannonwas cast, are here superintending thefiring of this monster gun. Tho experi-ments are conducted by Capt. Dyer,et' life Ordnance Department—ouoi>f the most experienced and scientificofficers belonging to tho army, andquite as an accomplished gentlemen asho is an able officer,

Iiieut. Bagga, a promising youngofficer, is preparing to test the "Floyd"shells by moans of an ingenious tele-graphic arrangement. As the shellpa scs from tho mouth of tho cannouit cuts a wire, which produces a currentand sots in motion a pendulum at aninstrument securely arranged underthe casemate of the fort. Tho target,ph.cod at a fixed distance, is covereswith a series ot wires, ono of whicdmust be cut by the shell when it strike!)thu target. Tho moment tho secondwire i.s cut the current is broken, andthe pendulum instantly stops, markingthe space through wli.uli it had passedduring the time the shell was passingbetween the two wires.

Three Opinions.Speaking of our friend CJI. HIXON,

tho Democratic candidate for Judgo ofProbate, tho State News, formerly thoLocal, says :

"The Col. is one of the few men of theDemocratic party who generally suc-ceed when a candidate for office, butas there ia not a ray of hope tor himnow it was oruel to put him on the tick-et. There arc men enough who are farbetter qualified for the oth'ce, (wo moanin a legal point of view, not in any oth-er sense,) than Col. Hixon, and who canstand a defeat much better than hecan."

We would suggest to our cotempora-ry that that habit tho Ool. has of "suc-ceeding when a candidate" renders itunnecessary for him toa.sk any sympa-thy, and wholly improbable that he willwant any. As to tho lack of legalqualifications we shall speak presently.

Of tho same domination our legalfriend of tho Journal says :

" GOT. Felch was first nominated forJudge of Probate; but being too cun-ning lo bo caught in such a trap, he do-clinod, and tnoreupon the Conventionnominated tho Hon. Daniel Hixon, ofBridgowater. Ho is a respectable far-mer, and has been Boveral times a mem-ber of the Slato Legislature, buthasno legal qualifications to tit him forJudge of Probate,"

What a pity the Col. has neverread Blackstone or listened to certainlectures on law. delivered boforo an em-bryo law department oi tho Universitysomo two years sinco.

But, "Monsieur Tonson" comosagain, and that mongrel sort of a sheet,with a Brookiuridge publisher and Lin-coln editors, the Ypsilanti Sentinelsays:

"riquire Hixon is a superannuatedJustico of the Peace, now in the laststage of decay, whoso only knowledgeof law has been obtained from a bookcalled "every man hi3 own horse doc-tor."

Wo do not believe that this trio ofeditors will succeed in throwing dust iatho eyes of the people, or in makingthem believe that it is necessary to boan incipient, brioiless lawyer or a ringboned, spavinod, brokon-windod, de-cayed disciplo of Blackstono to fit himfor tho responsible but well-definedduties of tho offico of Judgo of Pro-bate. Col. Hi.xos is not a lawyer, butwhat cannot bo said of all lawyers, hois a man of good common sense, of dis-criminating and sound judgment, ofsterling and tried integrity, qualifica-tions eminently necessary in a Judge ofProbate, whose Court should bo rathera Court of equity than a Court of le-gal technicalities of which aro seldomif ever unraveled.

But, as Ool, HIXON'S other qualifica-tions aro not questioned, we will inquirewhat other counties have thought of thonecessity of electing lawyers to the of-fico of Judgo of Probato. In WaynoCounty the last Judgo of Probate wasnot a lawyer, the pre3ont ono is not, andneither is tho Democratic candidate forthe succession, Wayne shuns lawyersfor that position. The prosont republi-can Judge of Probato of LivingstonCounty is not a lawyor, in JacksonCounty tho present Judge, a Republi-can, is not a lawyer, and tho republicancandidate for tlio next term has neitherattended or delivered law lectures.Branch County has not elected a lawyer to the oflico of Judgo of Probatein the last twenty years, and theeainomay bo said of numerous other counties.

Appended to this paraphlot wo findtho following paragraph claiming tobe an extract friini a lotter addressedto Mr. WARD by the Republican candi-date for Congress in this district:

"The people of Michigan must una-voidably become, sooner or later, de-cided and active protectionists, aiid Ifoci perfectly will.ng to risk my per-sonal success and futiiro prosperity up-on that platform.

GUANOES,

of Ann Arbor, Mich. ;

That, is protection, not incidental, butsquared toed, out-and-out protection,for tho sake of protection, avowed interms plain enough to satisfy 11. C.Oa:y, or our friend "statistics" and wecommend the declaration to tho farm-ers and laborers of the First Oftngre-sional district.

Wo clip the {allowing para-graph from the Tecumseh llsrald ofAugust 23d, and consider it a prettygood endorsement for a liopublieanjournal, and ono that might bo madeby other organs of that party if theywero in tho habit of speaking oandidlyof democratic candidatos. Tho Heraldsays:

"A democratic Congressional Con-vention, held in Ann Arbor yesterday,nominated Goo. V. N. Lotlirop. forRepresentative in Congress, for tho 1stdistrict of this Stato. The nominationwas by acclamation. Mr. L ithrop isone of tho most eloquent and talentedmon in Michigan, and will doubtlessbe o'.ooted, we can thon boast of havingono talented Moinbor of Congress.

Tho Yps'lanti Sentinel intimatesthat tho bar would moot the electionexpenses of tho "inevitable BARRY"rather than not havo him ele.-ted. Wedon't know how liberal tho Republicanmembers of the bar may bo, but onothing we oan asstfre tho SentinrJ, andthat is that tho Democratic lawyers willneither aid inr counsel tho election ofR. J.

Is it anything against Col.ON, the Democratic nominee for Judgoof Probato, he is not a lawyor and hasnot boon initiated into tho mystery oftaxing fee bills, swelling up costs, andmaking monoy out of ollico ? WU nottho widows and orphans be as likely tofair well in his hands, as in the handsof a lawyor who has "learned theropes" and know how to make con-structive work and constructive char-ges ?

"The convention rc-nominated furSheriff tho present incumbent, Thomas P.Leonard, and for Register of Docd.s, thepresent Register, Horatio (_r. Sheldon.—Both of thorn have math good ojicers."

Speaker PENNINCITOX, of NowJersey, lu.s declined a re-election toCongress. Tho Bouse never had amore inefSciont presiding officer, andhis experience has given bim a ju^t dis-taste to a Congressional career. Pitythat more men had not tho good judg-ment to see that they are out of placein Congress.

TUB GKUMANS MOVIXU.—The Ger-

man Democrats of the Socond Wardraised a beautiful hickory pole, overuno hundred foot high, in front of theresidence of Mr. .\';;ni.i.\(S, on Saturdayevening last. After the pole was up,the voters present wore addressed byOov FELOII. JACOB WJSIL, E.sq., andN. \i. WBIKJU. The speech of Mr.WKIT, was in German;

I p g The polo which they nttomntodto raised was in four parts, about 110feet long, spliced in three places. Assoon as they commenced raising it, itwas discovered to be bke the. Douglasparty, very weak; it bent, and as theyraised it higher, r kept bending moroand more, until it finally broke, foil totho ground, and broke wherever it wasspliced. This was an ill-omen.—AnnArhor Journal.

Is it an "ill omen" that the polo at-tempted to be raised by the republicansof tho "lower town" on Saturday nightlast, broko and fell, or fell and broke,wo don't know which? "Accidents willhappen in tho best regulated families,"neighbor, and croakers may find abund-danoe of "ill-omens."

Tho Democratic Conventionsfor the 8th Senatorial and 3d H epro-sontativo districts arc to be held atSaline to-morrow.

The Republicans of tho Firstdistrict havo nominated S. M. Ojrcu-EON, E-q., of Ypsilanti, a3 their candi-date for Representative.

A correspondent of the Tecum-seh Herald Republican, writing fromAspenwild, Ky., under dato of August8, says :

"Kentucky being strongly conserva-tive did not relish tho way Bracken-ridge obtainod his nomination, and thou-sands aro dosortinp; him and going forDouglas, between whom and Bell, it isthought now tho main strength of thoconflict will como in this Common-wealth."

This hardly corresponds w'.th thostatements made by republican nows-paper scriblors, who noarly ail claimthat DOUGLAS has no 'strength in theSouth. The difference may be attributedto tho fact that tho Herald's corres-pondent is on the ground and writes ofwhat ho knows, and that our Lincolncotemporarios write of what thoy knownothing.

fyE Washington correspondentof tho Baltimore Sun says: "It is nowunderstood that the pressure of publicopinion will insure such a fusion of anti-ropublican elements in New York thatthere can be no doubt of the defeat ofthe republican electoral ticket and Statoticket. Somo oLstr.ole3 to fusion existed,and still exist, on the part of the leadersof the Breokinridge democracy, but thiswill of necessity syield, or, wliut will bejust the same, will be overcoino and ron-dered nugatory. Tho utmost confidenceis expressed iu the entire sucoosa of thomovement towards a general eo operationof all tho opponents of Lincoln. There-fore, Mr. Lincoln's race will soon bo run,to the great, though secret, gratification,us is said, of' one of tho branches of thoNew York republican party—that whichis headed by Weed aud Seward. Tliofeud which has broken out in that partywas a forerunner of its dofoat."

A RICH CITY.—New liedford, Mass.,has a greater aggregate of wealth,according to the population, than anyother city in the United States. Incase of an equal distribution of proper-ty to every male citizen of the place, theamount would bo moro than $4,800each; and if divided among all theinhabitants, every man, woman andchild would receive a sum exceeding$1,000. Tho total valuation is 823,-112,000; the number of males paying apoll tax of $1,00 each is 5,317.

Now AXD THKN.—In tho month ofAugust, 1859, tho receipts of grain atthis port by the Michigan CentralRailroad were one hundred and forty,nine cars. In tho month just ended thereceipts by the same road were sixhundred and forty two cars. Adifference in favor of 18G0 of fourhundred and ninety-three cars, or onehundred and seventy-two thousandlive hundred and fifty bushels, is aconsolutorv fact.—Detroit 'Advertiser,

He came homo iu goodfaith, and, believing so, told the 1that in December aid January theylihould havo thoir monoy.

Tho needy creditors of the county,holding county ordars, flocked, to theoffice for their njonoy they had waitedaud wanted—nay! suffered for—-for manyof thom, rather than submit to thetuonoy-shavors' terms of scve;ity-fivo centson the dollar, or tho merchants who re-fused to take them iu pay even for ragsat par. Already they saw tho money, feltit, ami rejoiced. Did they got any? —Did the Treasurer get any? Did thoAuditor (joncral semi any? Not onecent!—not even the account or ac-knowledgment of the amount due, or thathe had received—-nor Mas he done it tothis day!

Ho obtained tho money by fraud,keeps it by wrong, against every princi-ple of common honesty, while the orderholders, too poor to hold out longer, haveboon in most cases driven to sell at whatthey could get, every dollar of which be-low par was robbed from them.

But, meanest of all, he has sought, bywithholding from Mr. Iluekinstho prom-ised statement, which would havo convic-ted him, to shield himself, the guilty par-ty, and let the innocent suffer!

This is tho eminent honesty of thebrack republican administration you aroasked to endorse and again elect to pow-er. Where is the blask republican pressof this county; the ofiicial organ of thoblack republican county administration;the recipient of tha tax-sales dispensed bythis same Auditor-General Case, whichtalks of its devotion to tho tax-payersof this county'/ Why has it bceu silentas the grave amid the showers of in-qttiries as to whore the money of thecounty has gone? Often has the CountyTreasurer publicly stated, tho facts wehave now given you.

Has it forgotten, have they forgotten,such matters as these iu their devotion tothe cause of the Africans? Aro thoir col-umns too full of falsehoods concerningmen and measures beyond our own Stateto spare a little space for those of wrongsto the people within our own borders?

Cau it bo that tho paltry pap of a fewhundred dollars of tax-printing, withintho control of this same Auditor GeneralCase, is the key that thus has lockedtheir silence? Let them answer.

Arrival of the Pony Express.St. Joseph, Mo., Sopt. 3.

The pony express with dates to tho2"2d of August, arrived last evening, ontime.

The pony express which left St. Jo-seph August 7th, arrived at San Francis-co on tho 21st, bringing delayed lettersthat left St. Joseph August 3d, The do-tension was caused by some Indians whocreated a disturbance at Dry Creek andother points on tho California aud SaltLake route, surrounding two stations, anddriving off the stock from ono.

The t roublo continued till Lieut.Weed arrived from lluby Valley with25 soldiers, on tho 12th of August, whonho attacked the Indians and killed 17 ofthem, wounding more, with a loss of throemen wounded on his side;

It is supposed the hostilo Indians aronow driven from the express route, andthe arrival at Carson Valley to-day ofanother pony, with St. Louis dates to the10th confirms the opinion that the routois protected and interruptions ended,

This is tho Son-ator's place of residence, where he is per-sonally very popular. He was veryooolly recceived by tho largo auclLcnoc,who voted down Breckiuridgc resolutionsand cheered Douglas, and the majority ofthe meeting manifestly boing Douglasparty renewed courage throughout theState.

The enumeration of tlio Fourth district has

been completed, and tho Census Marshal, Mr.

E. HAIKU, of Freedom, has promised us the

figures in time for our noxt issue. His dis-

trict comprises several Townships, and will

probably give on aggregate of 10,000 show

ing a total in the County of about 37,500,

against 23,509 in 1850 and 23,336 in 1854 , a

gain since 1850 of over 25 per cent. We havo

choesu to compare with 1353 rather than

1854 because tho censuB of the latter year waa

notoriously incorrect in many of the Town

ships of the County. Next week we shall

endeavor to give the County complet*.

OP We understand that the storm o1

rain and wind which visited our City on

Thursday evening of last week, was much

more violent in other places. It swept with

great force over the corner of Freedom, Lodi,

and Saline, and in the North West corner of

the latter town we are informed that the

barns of Divid Moore, J . F . Nichols and

Ilnsscli Mills were unroofjd. In other Coun

ties severe hail was an accompaniment of the

storm.

T H R E E W I V E S V I S I T TUEIR HUSBAND

IN PKISON,—Charles Hayncs, once a r j -

spcctable and fine appearing dry-goods

clerk of Nilcs, Michigan, married a young

and hcautiful lady of that place. There

was nothing strange in that, but Charles

was fond of variety, and left his wife and

went to Jefferson City, where he contrac-

ted marriage with a second lady. He

passed tho honeymoon with her, and jour-

neyed to a small town in Sehuylor coun-

ty where ho became enamored of a third

lady, courted her sweetly and married

again. This time he was found out,

tried and sentenced to the State Prison

fov a term of years. On Thursday three

ladies entered, separate and unattended,

lie prison, and each inquired of the crcn-

tlcinanly clerk for one Charles Haynes.

They were shown into the clerk's office

and Charles sent'for. He soon made his

appearance, and to his great surprise was

confronted by his three wives—each of

them in tears and eagerly pressing for-

ward to grasp him by the neck and ex-

change salutations of endearment. One

brought him choice apples; another took

from a basket some line peachepj while

third forced upon him some

Sponge atd fruit cake, the product of

Niles wheat, mixed by her own fair hands.

After a prolonged interview, Char!

again sent to his hard work, and tho trio

of widows took up their mournful maroh

jut their several homes. The m

"ad been arranged by the Sc-hujlcr ootm-

ty nctim who ll;ld made u p h c r m L u d t 0

ceiver by visaing him in the manner de-

scribed, even though, he had destroyed the

timable and wmthy vtomn.—Aubnm IN.

Hon. A. H. Stephens far Douglas,

Augnsta, <Ja.. Sept. 1.

An immense audience of ladies nud

men assembled at tho City Hall

Park to-day to. hear the Hon. A. H. Ste-

sp«ak. Mr Si aid he was

for Douglas aud Johnson, the regular

lees, whether Doug-las received two-

thirds of tho Electoral vote or not.—

According to the usage of the party he

received the two-thirds vote of tho Con-

vention, and lie (Stej ••! tho

time-honored platform of non-intervention,

the only principle that can preserve the

Union. Tho objections urged against

Dauglas were, that he refused to say it

was the duty of Congress to do what they

would not do themselves. Douglas re-

fuse J to say it was the duty of Congress

to pass laws to protect slavery in tho ter-

ritories; hence they oppose him, aud re-

fused to vote for such a law themselves.

Mr. Stephens defended Douglas against

the charge that ho would not yield to

the decision of the Supreme Court, and

said that Douglas agreed with every

principle decided in tho Dred Soott case,

but also insisted that the point that a

territorial legislature might constitution-

ally regulate" slavery had not been deci-

ded. No case involving this principle had

been before tho Court. The position of

Mr. Douglas is that of perfect equality

between tho citizens of all the States

with respect to the rights of persons and

property. Mr. Douglas believed that a

territorial legislature might, by a system

of laws, virtually exclude slavery. He

differed with Douglas on this point, but

it was a matter of uo vital or essential

importance, because if a majority of the

people of a territory oppose slavery it

would not go there. lie believed slavery

will go to the extent of the capacity for

it, and no law of Congress or a territorial

legislature can extend it beyond this.—

lie dwelt upon tho Union and the im-

portance of preserving it. He did not

regard Mr. Breokinridge as a disunionist,

but his running endaugers the Union not-

withstanding he has no chance of an

election by'tho people.

licity to the subjoined correspondence:

Staunton, Va., Aug. 20, 18G0,

DEAR SIR—We are anxious to know

the position you will take in tho present

Presidential canvass, now that nil hope

of uniting the two wings of the democrat-

ic party is over. We consider the Union

in imminent peril, and yet hope the con-

servative voice of the American poople

will, on tho Gth day of November next,

save the country from ruin.

Hoping to hear from you, wo are your

friends,

BENJ. CRAWFORD,

M. G. HA11MAN.

Tho lion. JOHN LETCIIEB,

Richmond, Va., Aug. 22, 1860.

GENTLEMEN—Your letter of tho 20th

inst., desiring to know the position I in-

tend to take in the Presidential contest,

has been received, and I avail myself of

the earliest moment to reply.

I have purposely avoided committing

myself to tha support of cither Brcckin-

ridge or Douglas, in the hope that a

compromise would be agreed upon by the

two conventions recently held in our

State that would be houorablo and mutu-

ally satisfactory to both wings of tho dem-

ocratic party. All hope of an adjust

mont having now failed, I havo no hesi-

tation iu declaring that my support will

bo given to Douglas & Johnson.

The division that has occurred in the

democratic party could have boen, and I

thiuk ought to have been, avoided.—

There was no more necessity for a rup-

ture iu 1850 than there was in 1850.—

The division has, however, takon place1—

The breach is widening daily, and it is

useless now to inquire into the causes

which have produced theso deplorable

results. Such a discussion will not re-

store union and harmony, but will, of ne-

cessity, add to present embarrassments,

and will only tend to make certain tho elec-

tion of a sectional candidate to the Presi-

dency, whose success all patriots must de-

plore.

I sincerely hope, therefore, that the

discussions which seem now unavoidable

between tho friends of Brfickinridge and

Douglas will be marked by prudence aud

moderation, and that, after this struggle

has been ended, a spirit of conciliation

aud compromise will restore union and

harmony to our party.

llespectfully, your obedient servant,

BENJAMIN CRAWFORD, fit. Q. HAR-

MAN.

Illinois Banks,

Wo havo perused, witn some attention,

the report of the late Auditor touching

tho condition of the Illinois bauks. The

gross figures have bceu published in our

columns before, but wo think that it will

not bo without interest to our readers to

see the individual condition of those

banks whose notes they hourly take.—

There are twenty three banks which have

not one dollar of specie to redeem up-

wards of two millions dollars of currency:

Their names aud circulation are as fol-

lows :

Agricultural Bank, Marion §95,845.

Bank of Commerce, Vienna, §52,000.

Bank of Indemnity, Gallatin, $57,818.

Bank of Pike (Jounty. Griggsville,

$131,170. • . . .

Bank of Republic, MoLanesboro, $L:C5.-

5-15.

Bank of Sparta, §57,001.

Canal Bank, Thebes, $50,744.

Commercial Bank, Palestine, 851,330.

Columbian Bank, Elizabethtown, $91,-

713.

Continental Bank, Grandvill, $84,905.

Citizens' Bank, Alt. Carmel, #03,962.

Illinois River Bank, Hardiu, $80,091.

Kane County Bank, Geneva, 812,334.

Kankakee Bank, Kankakee, §50,510.

Lake Michigan Bank, llarrisburg,

$29,170.

New Market Bank, New Market, 850,-

•100.

Pamct Bank, Griggsviiie, 856,070.

Ohio River Bank, Golconda, $142,-

348.

Patriotic Bank, Ilutsouville, $91,679.

Reapers' Bank, Pairfield, $109,244.

Shawnoe Bank, Elizabethtown, $100-

000.

State Stock Bank, St. Johns, $110,-

093. Total circulation $2,189,008; spe-

cie none.

Were it not for the undoubted security

of tho issues of these banks by the State

stocks, and the confidence which we

iu Jesse K. Dubois, the State Aud-

it ir, we would as soon take an Indiana

wild cat bank note as the bills of the

above banks. Tho above are all banks

without ono cent of specie, but there are

some, mure which come nearly to their

standard. There arc thirteen banks, issu-

ing about three and a half millions of

currency, that have just $23,085,12 in spe-

cie. Among them is tho State Bank of

Illinois, with au issue of $653,365, aud

specie to tho amount err" #4,779,12; the

Frontier Banks, owned (we bcliovc) whol-

ly by a Now Voile party, with a circula-

tion of 1 ; 995, and specie $1,000.—

Tho agent of this bank threatened to tar

and feather a certain broker if he ever at-

tempted to call for redemption again.—•

Such are some of tho beauties of our

banking institutions.—€hi< • . t,

dyer's Cherry Pectoral,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of tlioblood, by "which this fluid becomes vitiated,weak, and poor. Being in tho circulation, itpervades the whole body, and may burst outin disease on any part of it. No organ is fre«from its attacks, nor is there one which it maynot destroy. The scrofulous taint is variouslycaused by mercurial disease, low living, dis-ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filthand filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,above all, by the venereal infection. What-ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-stitution, descending " from parents to childrenunto the third and fourth generation ; " indeed,it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " Iwill visit the iniquities of the fathers upontheir children."

Its effects commence by deposition from theblood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, ijithe lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termedtubercles; in tho glands, swellings; and onthe surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor-ruption, which genders in the blood, depressesthe energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-tions not only suflbr from scrofulous com-plaints, but they have far less power to with-stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-quently vast numbers perish by disorderswhich, although not scrofulous in their nature,arc still rendered fatal by this taint in thosystem. Most of tho consumption which de-cimates the human family has its origin directlyin tlu's scrofulous contamination; and manydestructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from, orare aggravated by the same cause.

One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;their persons are invaded by this lurking in-fection, and their health is undermined by it.To cleanse it from the system we must renovatethe blood by an alterative medicine, and in-vigorate it by healthy food and ^eiweiso.Such a medicine we supply in,

AYER'S

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,the most effectual remedy which tho medicalskill of our times can devise for this every-where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com-bined from the most active rcmcdials that havebeen discovered for the expurgation of this fouldisorder from the blood, and tho rescue of thosystem from its destructive consequences.Ilcnce it should be employed for the cure ofnot only Scrofula, but also thoie other affec-tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVEand SKIN DISKASF.S, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE,HOSE, or EIIYSIIT.T.A-., PIMPLES, PUSTULES,BLOTCHES, BLAINS and BOILS, TUMORS, TETTERand SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM,RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL DIS-EASES, Ditorsv, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING ritou VITIA-TED OR IMPUHK BLOOD. The popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is founded in truth,for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. Theparticular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,without •which sound health is impossible incontaminated constitutions.

Ague Cure,FOR THE SPEEDY CURE Off

Intermittent Pevcr, or Fever and Ague,Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, DumbAgue, Periodical Ileaclaelie, or BiliousHeartache, and Kilious Fevers, indeedfor the whole class of tliscases origi-nating in biliary derangement, causedl»y the Malaria of Miasmatic Coun*tries.Wo arc enabled hero to offer tlio community a remedy

which, whilo it cures tho above complaints with cer-tainty, ia still perfectly harmless iu any quantity. Sucha romecly is invaluable In districts where theso afflictingdisorders prevail. This "CURE" excels the miasmaticpoison of FEVER AND AGUE from llie system, and pre-vents tho development of tlio disease, if taken on thofirst approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is uotonly the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class ofcomplaints, but also the cheapest. The largo quantitywo supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious districts, where FEVER AND AGUEprevails, every body should havo it and uso it freely bothfor cure and protection. It is hoped this price will placeit within the reach of all — the poor as well as the rich.A great superiority of this remedy over any other everdiscovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intermit-tents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, conse-quently it produces no quinism or other injurious effectswhatever upon tho constitution. Those cured by it areleft as healthy as if they had never had tho disease.

Fever and Ague is not alone tho consequence of themiasmatic poison. A groat variety of disorders arise fromits irritation, among which are Neuralgia. Rheumatism,Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothaclie, Earache, GitcuTh,Asthma, Palpitation, Painful Jffectimi of the Spleen,Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and De-rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originat-ing in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or becomeperiodical. This "CURE" expels the poison from thablood, aud consequently cures them all alike. It is aninvaluable protection to immi^rauts and persons travel-ling or temporarily residing iu tho malarious districts. IItaken occasionally or daily while exposed to tho infec-tion, that will be excreted from the system, and cannotaccumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease.Hence it is even mure valuable for protection than cure,and f«w will ever suffer from Intermittents if they availthemselves of tho protection this ruinedy affords.

THE OLD AND" RELIABLE

Fattening Eogs Early.There is a timo for all things, aurl ss

•we have said in the Funiur frequently in ]«3.'isous previous to t!ie present one, thereis a time of yuur when nature providesthat animals shall lay on fstt or store up aprovigiuu of uarbuii tor winter u.;e, andthat timo is the season when the fatteningof animals can bo secured with the great-est economy and profit. The following,from the Boston Cultivator, is a confirma-tion of the views we have expressed, anilhe refers to an article that appeared froma correspondent of the Ohio Fanner do-tailing a sericB of experiments. Ho first"hogged dowu" (in western parlance)fort; acres of corn, between the lUth t-t'September and the 23d of October. Bythe hogs being weighed when they wereturned in aud when they were takeiiout, it wae found that they paid fortycents a bushel for corn, estimating thejjork at four cents a pound, and corn at40 bushels to the acre.

His next course was to take one hun-dred bogs, averaging 200 pounds each,•which were placed in nine covered pensand fed all they could eat of corn andcobs ground togothor, steamed, and givenin allowances fire times a day. In aweek they were again weighed, when,reckoning 70 pounds of corn and cob asequal to a bushel of corn, and the pork atbefore, tha hogs paid 80 cents a bushelfor the corn. The weather was warm forthe season.

The sr.me experiment was tried againthe first week in Is'ovomber, when thecorn brought C2 cents, the weather beingcolder. The third week in Novemberthe corn brought but 40 cents, aud thefourth week it brought but 26 cents, theweather continuing to grow colder.—Another lot of hogs was fed through De-cember, whioh which only gavo 26 cents abushel for corn. A part of the time thetemperature was at zero, aud then thethe hogs only gained enough to paylive cents a bushel for the corn,and afterwards, when the mercury wentdown to ten degrees below zero, the hogsonly held their own.

The inference from these trials is, thatin general it is not profitable to feed cornto hogs after the middle of November.—The difference in gain is certainly sur-prising, and whether caused altogetherby the difference in temperature or not,no pergon of observation can doubt thatthe hogs gain much more in proportion tothe food oonsumod, in mild than in coldweather. I t seems that the hogs gainedmuch less helping themselves to corn inthe field than when the corn was groundand cooked and fed to the animals inpens, under the equal advantages ofweather.—Mich, Farmer.

A H-arge and Beautiful

Signs of a Crusade.Among other signs of the times, Simeon

Murad, the acting American Consul inJerusalem, in a letter reoently receivedin Boston, says that considerable anxietyis felt by the Christian European resi-dents. 'Jhe* Arabs without tbe walls, tosay nothing of those within, aro evidently under unusual excitement. Those ofl)jbel Kuds and Djbel Mablos havo al-ready destroyed the surrounding crops —Bread is beginning to be very dear, sothat a loaf which ordinarily costs fiveparas now brings twent}', and scarce atthat. The poor are suffering, and appre-hensions of a fearful outbreak are anticipated. There is no calculating theamount of mischief that would follow,should the fanatical spirit of the Moham-medans break forth as it has on formeroccasions at Jerusalem, which has in pastages passed through more extraordinaryscenes of blood, slaughter and rapine thanany other place on the whole globe.

Correspondence of the London News,

Garibaldi and Queen Victoria.Messina, Aug. 4.

I think that you are aware that theSicilian government has sent a distinguished nobleman, Prince Pandolfini, torepresent the interests of the island atthe English court. I am now able tosend you the translation of the letterwhich was written by Garibaldi to QeecnVictoria ou this occasion:

"Uoim MAJESTY—Called by my dutyto my Italian fatherland to defend itscause in Sicily, I have assumed the dic-tatorship of a genorous people, who, aftera long-continued struggle, wish for noth-ing but to participate in national life andfreedom under the sceptre of the magnan-imous Prince in whom Italy trusts.

"The envoy who presents himself tovour Majesty in the name of tho provi-sional government whioh now rules thiscountry does not pretend to represent aspecial and distinct State, but he comesas interpreter of the thoughts and senti-ments of two millions and a half of Ital-ians, By this title I beg your Majestyto deign to receive him, granting a kindaudience and attention to what he mayrespectfully urge upon your Majesty inbehalf of this most beautiful and noblepart of Italy.

"G. GARIBALDI."Palermo, Friday, June 22.

"To her Majesty the Queen of GreatBritain and Ireland."

SALTING MEAT.—A French professordenounces the use of saltpeter in brine in-tended for the preservation of flesh forfood. That part of the saltpeter whichis absorbed by the meat, he says, is ni-tric acid—a deadly poison. He ascribesto this chemical change all the diseaseswhich are common to marines aud others,who subsist principally upon salted meat—euch as scurvy, sore gums, decayedteeth, ulcci'B, &c, and advises a totalabandonment of saltpeter in picklo forbeef, &c; the best substitute for thatarticle being a small quantity of sugar,which renders the meat sweeter and morewholesome.

HOME MADE MANURE.—A correspon-dent of the Agriculturist, in a recentletter Bays:

" Wishing to procure a couple ofloads of manure, I endeavored topurchase them of a neighbor, but wastold he had none to spare for love normoney; that he himself had alreadyordered a ton of guano for his own use.I had that morning rallied him on theslovenly appearance of his back door-yard, which he admitted was a shameto the place, but plead want of timo toattend to it, as an excuse. I finallyoffered to clean it all out for him oncondition that I might havo tho littlemanure I could scrape up thero. andho consented—making me promise todo it up slick. I went to work at itwith a hired man and team, and wastwo days abont th«job, but got for mylabor twenty-one well rounded loads ofmanure. It was composed of chipdirt, tbe sehos from some hali-dozenold leach-tubs, and the soil where thehouse-plops had been thrown fora longtime. This was worth much morethan a ton of guano. He thought 1made too good a bargain, but I anBwered that I had only removed whatwas a nuisance to him, and was nobenefit to any one."
