A letter was read frem the Hon. Hiram

my own part, feel that tie Wing party OF
the whole country has been false to its
own most cherished principles ami to the
most distinguished champion Of those
principles-the man who. OF all men, has
made Us proud of our party. Had the
members Of that Convention dared te

in private conversation, by many Of them,
for the REJECTION Of Mr. Webster. the,

appreciated by the American people, ant
was therefore unpopu'ar.'

a SINGULAR FREAK OF NATURE.


The editor OF the Charleston Mercury
says that he was visited = few days sioc.
BY gentleman named r II. Copeland,
native Of Lawrence District, 9. C., but
now residiRs in Hard Co., in that State,
who pre<lets in his peculiar organization
very remarkable natural phenomenon-
His right arm, hanI and leg, are infected

ment the nature and motion of . snake.
The arm affected is smaller than the other.
ITS muscular Developments different, sensa-
tion much less acute. aud its actions slto-
aeiher beyond the control Of his will.
,fhe motion Of the arm seemed to be i'm
PEELED By a sxnarate and distinct v0iition,
or an instinct entirety -vwu.-SKhe
character of the movement IS shaped to a
considerable extent, by external circum-
stances, at any sudden noise, startling
appearance. or the like, the arm some
times forms itself into coil-thc hand
starting out from the coil as if in the act
OF striking, at other times the arms and
hand have the movement Of a snake under
full headway making its escape. preserving
the peculiar tortuOus motion Of the reptile.
At such times the rapidity Of the motion is
trul y astonishing. The action Of the affect
ed parts is continuous. The muscles are
never at rest, though sometimes the action
is less than at others. The right eye has a
snakish look that is not seen in the left,
| and the formation Of the teeth is very strik
ing. On the left side of the mouth, boil,
in the upper and lower jaw, the teeth are
well formed and regular. while on the
| right side. above and below, they are ex.
tremely irregular and lanslike.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

The covering Of wood with iron to protect
it from fire is dangerous practice, for
the iron is good conductor Of heat, and
the wood below is headed nearly as much

peated reheating is brought to an extra
ordinary degree Of combustibility, and is
liable to spontaneous isnition. Wood has
frequently isnitett by long contact with
iron pipess which conveyed hot water for
heating purposes. Goals should always be

and an obnoxious vapor always rises

JUDGE DOUGLAS.

The following from the Home Journal
of the 18th inst, will be perused with
interest by many Of our readers.
We chanced to catch a glimpse Of
Senator Douylas-known to the universe
as the little giant of the Democracy-the
other evening, as he was addressing a
torch light procession from the balcony of
the Metropolitan Hotel. The Senator.
as far as we could judge by the uncertain
light across the acre Of Democrats has
scarcely reached his fortieth year. lie IS
rather under the average stature, but
stoutiy framed. His countenance is am
pie. full and ruddy. His hair is dark
and worn some what long behind; but his
face. if We remember Alright, is innocent
Of mustache Or whisker. lie was dress
ed with the utmost plainness, having.
generally. Il tough, rough aud ready, far
mer-like aud servicsabIe air. lie speaks
with perfect readiness and self possession,
and is evidently nowhere SO entirely at
home as or the stump. lie has an asreca-
bic and effective voice, and ges'icuiates
with grace. Here we turn to Retlfie!d's s
.'Men o! the Ti,nc,'' and learn thertfron
that Mr. Douglas is Verm"nter by birth,
and tba: his career has been eventful.
lie was once cabinet-makers apprentice
with his mother. to Carandaigua, in New
York, where he went to school and STU
died law. In Illinois, the State which
he now represents in the Senate of the
United States. he began his career as an
auctioneer's clerk. He afterwards kept
school awhile, studying law in the even
inss and mornings. nl95a, be was ad-
mitted 10 the bar, and soon acquired an
extensive practice. He was appointed
Attorney General of the State. before he
had completed his twenty second year.
10 1885, he was elected to the House Of
Representatives; in 1857, appointed by
President Van Buren, to be Register in
the Land Office; in 1910, Secretary of
State for Illinois; in ls43. elected again
to Congress; in 1847, Senator; in 1852.
a prominent candidate for the Presidency;
in lSj6-but Mr. Redfcd's biography
does not extend SD far as that. Mr. Dou :
sIas was thirty nine years old on the 18th
Of last April.

The Cause Of the Duke Of HeHingfon's
Death 1T has been stated that the Duke
Of Wellington died Of an apop!ectic fit.
The immediate cause Of this attack ap-
pears to have been an over indulgence in
venison steaks. The LonJen Times says
the Duke Of Wellington. the day previous
to his death, exhibited his usual bodily ac-
tivity. He took his customary walk in the
grounds attached to the Castle, inspected
the stables, made many minute inquiries
there. and gave directions with reference
to journey to Dover on the following
day. His appetite was observed to be
keener than usual, and he dined heartily
Of venison. The next day, when his valet
went to awaken him, he refused to rise,
aud seut for the apothecary. A surgeon
came and found the Duke, to all appear
ance. suffering from indigestion. and com
planning Of pains in the chest aud stomach.
He was in the full possession of his facul-
ties, and described his aliment very clear
Iy. Some dry toast aud tea was prescrib-
ed. subsequently. several other attacks
ensued. and though emetics were admins
tered, his death ensued speedily.
