doctrine of construction, as an essential ar
ticle in the Democratic Republican creed,''
unless they intended to rebuke the distin.
puished Senator for the course he has
pursued. The coalition with the Seward
Wings sufficiently explains the selection
tor Vice President Of one who has done SC
much to make himself another distinguished
member Of che Senate. The prospect,
then, is, that these will be the Wing Free
Soil nominees. From the st. Louis Times
we learn that objections are made to the re-
election of Mr.. Benton to the United States
Senate, for the following, among other
reasons. He is too selfish and ambitious.
In May, 1916, no told Gov. King, he was
"striking for the Presidency" This has
not been denied; and is so, unless King
has told a falsebood. Those who suppo.-
ted Van Buren, and Adams in Missouri in
1S48, are now for Benton. In 1880, he
said the agitation Of the slave question
threatened the Uniou-now he sees no dan
ger. In 1910, every vote given by Wings
and Abolitionists to Harrison, was a blow
at the Union-now he sees no danger in that
quarter. Once 81 40, then dropped down
to 49, in opposition to his own doctrine,
making it necessary for the Administration
TO settle ON the lower number. Once oppo-
ssd to q railroad to the Pacific, now he is
anxious to ride on that hobby-into the
White House. He denies the right Of in
stsuction: obey, or resign, is the Demo-
cratic doctrine. He is praised by the Alb
olitienists, and has almost become a Free.
Soiler. He has boxed everv point Of the
compass in hs political course, and has at
last obtained the nomination 1--WE had al

A Beautiful kllegorv.

Mr.. Crittenden was engaged in defending a
man who had been indicted for n capital offence
After an elaborate and powerful defence, he
closed his effort by the following striking and
beautiful allegory
when God, in his eternal counsel, conceived
the thought Of mans creation, He called to Him
the three ministers who wait constantly upon his
throne-Justice, Truth, Mercy, and thus address
ed them: shall we make mani' Then said JUS
tice, 20 God make him not, for he will trampe
uponthy laws" Truth made answer also, o God
make him not, for he will pollute thy sanctuares'
But Mercy, dropping upon her knees, and looking
up through her tears. exclaimed. o God make
him: | will watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths he may have to tread" Then
God made man and said to him, 90 man, thou
art the child Of mercy 90 and deal with thy
brother"
The jury, when he finished, was drowned in
tears, and against evidence and what must have
been their own convictions, brought in a verdict
Of not guilty.

Monument is being constructed would not sustain

from Washington letter accompanied by re.
port Of Professor Page, who, in connection with
Robert Mills, the architect, tested by powerful
hydrostatic press the relative power of this stone.
IN comparison with Others TO sustain a crushing
force. The letter says the marble was selected
by the Board Of Managers with great care, after
experiments and consultation with competent
scientific gentlemen and when few courses
were laid, Professor johnson addressed commu.

the material WAS not durable and he asserted he
could crush it in bic fingers like loaf sugar The
Board immediately took measures 10 tcst tho

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

The Paris correspondent of the St Louis Re
publican, relates the following occurrence:
= Young man recently made his escape from
the galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and
vigorous, and soon made his way across the coun.
try and escaped pursuit. He arrived the next
morning before cottnge in an open field and
stopped 10 beg something to eat and concealmcnt
while he reposed little, But he found the in.
mates of the cottage in the greatest Distress
-Four little children sat trcmbmgi in corner, their
mother WAS weeping and tearing her hair and
the father walking the floor in agony. The raj.
ley slave asked what was the matter, and the ia.
ther replied that they were that morning to be
turned out of DOORS because they could not paw
their rent. You see me driven to despair" said
the father my wife and little children without
food and shelter, and withoui the means to pro.
vide any for them" The convict listened to this
tale with tesrs Of sympathy, and then said;
II will give You the means. have but Just
escaped from the galleys; whoever secures and
takes back an escaped prisoner is entitled to re.
ward OF fifty francs, How much does your rent
amount tor
Forty francs, answered the father.
well, said the other, put Il cord around my
body; will follow You to the city; they will
recognize me, and you will get fifty francs for
bringing me back"
mo, never exclaimed the astonished listener,
my children should starve dozen times before
would do 20 base q thing
The generous man insisted, and declared ut
last that he would go and give himself up il the
father would not consent 10 take him. After n
long struggle the latter yielded. and .akng his
preserver by the arm, led him TO the city, aud to
the mayors office. Every boiv was surprised
that little man like the father had been able N
capture such strong Young fellow, but the proof
was beire them; the lift, francs were paid, and
the prisoner sent back to the galleys But after
he wns gone, the father asked private interview
Of the mayOr to whom he told the whole story.
The mayor was SO much affected that he not only
added fifty francs more to the fathers purse, but
wrote immediately to the minister of Justice, beg.
gng the noble young prisoners release. The
minister examined mo the affair, and finding that
IT was comparatively small offence which had
condemned the young man to the galleys, and
that hc had already served out half his time, he
ordered his release Is not the whole incident
