"the volume which he consulted more than

Of the Scriptures, to peruse it daily, and
to present it to one Of his children on his

In KENTUCKY, the Wings have brushed out
the Van Burenites in every district yet heard

from, in one OF which, both the candidates are

PRESIDENTIAL NoMuNArIoNs We see by
our exchange papers that in several sections of
the country movements towards bringing out a
candidate TO run against Van Buren, at the next
presidential campaign, are beginning to make
themselves public, AMI agitate slightly, the lit.
tie quiet that for few months past has been
gradually spreading itself over the political sea
IL seems TO us that the present is too early
time to commence preparations for the next pre-
sideniial election A year has not vet PASSED
over since the public mind W as agitated and con-
vulsed by one OF the nereest political contests
ever decided in the country, and time for that
excitement to cool, for sober and unbiased rea-
son to dlsRel false and erroneous impressions,
should be allowed. No advantage can accrue by
so early nomination, while much may be lost
much damage done TO the cause of those opposed
TO the mlsrulc Of the miserable cabaI at the head
OF our government. There may be, and no doubt
arc, many IN the country who were so complete
iy dazzied by the military fame Of Gen jackson,
as 10 support his measures right or wrong, who
would, now that their political idol Is no longer
before their eyes, if they were permitted to look
upon the acts Of the party without having their
political predictions reused, see the errors into
winch they have fallen, and turn themselves in.
to the right path and assist in repairing the mis-
chief done by those whom they have assisted
into place and power.
Time, too ought 10 be allowed, sufficient 10
afford fall comparison OF the sentiments Of the
Wing party in different sections of the Un;o,
respecting candidate, in order that the whole
party may be prepared to act with concert apd
harmony, without which all attempts TO elect
'he'r man will be futile and useless. Concert Of
action Will, we believe, enable the Who's 10
elect their candidate in 1910. The opinions and
sentiments Of many who supported the Hero of
New Orleans are undergoing change. and will.

letter from an officer at Fort Brooke,
dated July 10, 1887.

orders to return to our respective sta.
tons at the North. We have also
heard, although do not report it for
truth, that since General Jessup has
beer out IN the Indian nation, (Which
is about twenty days. nearly all the
Chiefs have had a conference with him
and have resigned the treaty that they
have so lalthless y kept; and that they
have commenced coming in again. 1t
is affirmed that they would not have
gone back into the nation if they had
not been afraid Of being sent away du-
ring the summer months, as they were
afraid of getting sick if they did, the
climate not being congeniai to their
constitution. 1t appears that they all
intend coming in this fall, and think
they will, as they seem very friendly

Wade, jr., was engaged in digging a
well on his premises, about -four miles
south of Findlay after having dug
down something like Is feet, the appea-
rance oil water was evident. Mr.. w.
being anxious to obtain water, seized

and made several strokes near the cen.
ire Of the well, whereupon the water
gushed forth in vivid torrents. Had
not Mr.. Wade been extremely active
IN attempting to escape, he would have
persisted almost instantly. At the time
otthe water gushing forth, continued
roaring ensued similar 10 a loud clap of
thunder, which shook the earth violent.

struck five feet above the surface of
the well, and at the same time burning
the puucheons that lay on the top ofthc

THE SALTC Law. --Frequent allu-
sion has lately been made, in speaking
Of the separation Of Hanover from
England by the death Of William the
Fourth, 10 the Sale Law. AS some
may be DESTROYS of information in re-
gard to the origin and application OF
this law, we have collected the follow.
ing from the Encyclopedia Americana.
"The Sale cole OF laws originated
from the SaIians or Salic Franks, a
people who first appeared on the Island
Of Batavi, and were driven thence, a.
mong the ChaInari, to the south Of tile
Mouse. 1t was in force 10 some degree
even as late as the eleventh and twelfth
centuries. By the 62d article Of this
code, ia those estates which the Sale
Franks bad gained 10y conquest in GauI
and modern France, the daughters
were excluded from the inheritance,
and the sons alone were considered ca,
pable Of succeeding to it. This appli.
cation Of that article was extended even
TO the throne, and from the earliest pc
Rod of the French monarchy no prIn-
cess ever succeeded 10 the throne, ex-
cept by the force OF some law different
from the ordinary usage. The Sale
law was first alleged against Edward,
IN the contest between Philip VI. and
Edward Ill. of England, about the
French crown, and has since that time
always remained in force Transcript.
