Union Of Southern Men.

We have never deprecated the existence
of political parties. They are the incidents
and the evidence of state of freedom
Human minds are so constituted as to differ
in conclusions drawn from the same state
ment of facts, and the free discussion of
these differences is the means employed by
human reason for correcting error, develop
ing truth, and finally arriving at unanimity
in conclusion, purpose, and action.
In our political partisanship it should be
our purpose to unite the people of the South,
and the whole Union if possible, in action
upon correct principles of Government
such as will secure the rights of all its mem
bers and parts.
We believe that political parties in the
South have arrived at singular unanimity
of conclusion drawn from past discussions,
as to the duties of Southern men, and we
believe that nothing but selfish demagogi-
cal spirit, on the part of leading men, will
prevent the future united action of the
South There are plenty who will seek to
keep up divisions and heartburnings, but
the people must correct this by trusting
more to their own Judgment than to the de-

Something about Adams Fan.

A favorite temperance lecturer, down
South, used to relate the following anee.
dote, to illustrate the influence of a bad ex-
ample in the formation of habits, ruinous in
their effects:
Adam, and Mary, his wife, who lived in
one of the old States, were very good mem
bers of the church, good sort Of folks any
way, quite industrious and thriving in the
world, and Mary thought great deal Of the
minister, and the minister thought a good
deal of glass of good toddy.
Whenever the minister called to make
Mary a visit, which was pretty often, she
contrived to have him glass Of toddy made
and the minister never refused to imbibc.-
After while Adam got to following the ex'
ample of the minister to such an extent that
he became drunkard; drunk up every thing
he had, and all he could get. Mary and he
became very poor in consequence of follow
ing the minister's example so closely; but
the good minister continued his visits, and
poor Mary confined still to give him a glass
of toddy One day he called in and told
Mary that he was going away for week,
should return on Friday, and handed her a
book containing the catechism, and told her
when he returned he should expect her to
be able to answer some of the questions
Mary says; Yes" and laid away the book
carefully. But Mary, like good many
church members, thought no more of her
book until the very next Friday the good
minister was to return.
''What shall do p says she, "the min
lister is to be here to-day, hav'n mt looked in
to the book he gave met How can I an
swer the questions ?"
81 can tell you how" says Adam. Give
me quarter and let me go over to Smith,
and get some good rum, and you can answer
his questions with glass of toddy.
Mary took the advice-gave Adam aquar-
ter and jug, and off he started. After get
ting his bottle filled, and on his way back,
Adam concluded to taste the rum. One
taste followed another, until he stumbled O.
yer pile of rocks and broke the jug and
lost all the rum. But Adam managed to
stagger home.
Soon as he got into the house, Mary in
, quired anxiously for the bottle of rum.
'Where is the bottle and rum, Adam p

E ''that he stumbled over pile of rocks, anc

do for the man of God to see Adam drunk,

Singular Coincidence.

A correspondent at Vienna notices fact
which is actively engaging the attention of
the learned Psychologists Of Germany. The
Countess of D., long since widow, was
the mother of two twin daughters, who re-
sembled each other in so striking manner
that the members of their own families
were obliged to mark them by particular
signs in order to distinguish them. In dis
position, height tone Of voice, and in fact
everything, there was wonderful resemb-
lance between them. AS these young daugh-
ters were Of good family, and had moreover
the prospect OF large fortune, a crowd of
of suitors thrnged around them. But all
retired disappointed by the profound indif-
ference with which their claims were met.
One day, however, two Frenchmen, late
" arrived at Vienna, were presented at the
house of the Countess D. They were
twin brothers, always together, evineing the
same taste, and resembling each other so
strongly that it was almost impossible to
distinguish the one from the other. The
two daughters Of the Countess, whose light
heartedness and joyousness Of manner up to
that time had been remarked, now became
suddenly melancholy. On their part the
young men were not slow to avoW passion
which the other two had inspired. They
wrote to their father, NJ. x, rich man.
ufacturer of one of the industrial districts,
who Immediately set out for Vienna Ar
rived, and assured of the sentiments of his
children and the worthiness Of Their objects,
he demanded of the Countess D the
hands of her daughters in marriage for his
sons.
The proposition was favorably received,
and few months afterwards said two mar.
riages were celebrated the same day, at the
same hour, in the same church. The two
newly formed families lived together in The
same house happily and peaceably. AT the
same day, at the same hour the two young
sisters gave birth each to son. This even
seemed the summit point to the happiness O.
the two families. A year passed by. Tht
two infants fell sick at the same time, and IL
spite of the care Of the most distinguished
physicians, died the next day in the arms o
their mothers.
This sudden blow broke the hearts of tn,
two young wives. In order to divert thei
minds, travelling was resorted to, and afte
some time spent in this way the two house
holds became installed at Paris. But all ef
forts were unavailing; they both died at tn
same time from the effects of grief. TIL
same fate is now feared for the two brothers
who seem unable to bear the two-fold ca
lamity which has tried their deadliest afec
} tons.
; These wonderful condolences have bee
made the subject of areport with which tn
7 academies of Germany and France are no.
occupied.

THE EXPLOSION OF THE STEAMBOAT
GLENCOE. Confession Of the Engineer..-
John Ryan, one Of the engineers of the stca-
mer Glencoe, by the explosion of which, at
St. Louis, few days ago, so many lives were
lost, died from his wounds on the 9th inst.
The Daily Times states that just previous to
his death, and when fully conscious of his
condition, he made in substance, the follow
ing confession, in the presence of several
gentlemen:
"He stated that, on the evening of the ar
rival of the Glencoe, himself and George
Buchanan, first engineer of the boat, were
on watch Some time before reaching port
he (Ryan) tried the water in the boilers and
fouLd it very low, and called to B. and in
formed him Of the fact, and received some
avasive answer. He again tried the water,
and again called to Buchanan, who told him
to mind his business, that there was water
enough in the boilers, and he would take hel
with it to St. Louis or to h-n Not salts
fed, Ryan expostulated, and Buchanan told
him, in substance, that it was his (Buchan
an's) watch, and that he (Ryan) had moth
ing to do with pumping up, and, moreover
that if he (Ryan) had his way he WoulC
have the water from the boilers running ou
at the tops of the chimneys. Subsequently
Buchanan remarked that the boat was max
ing good time, and he would take her int
St Louis kiting. This was perhaps the las
remark made, and when the boat reached
the wharf and commenced trying to effect
landing, Buchanan turned on the gage-cocl
and let on the water. The instant the COLI
water came in contact with the heated boil
ers, now nearly dry, the explosion tool
place.
"This statement was made over three 0
four times, at the solicitation of the dyin
mans friends, who thought perhaps, hi
mind was wandering He was told tn
weight and Importance of his declaration
and was asked if he was not out of his RICH
mind, to which he replied, that he was pei
fectly conscious of what he was saying an
doing-that his declarations were facts, an
that he designed making thesame statemer
in the event of his recovery, and now h
felt conscious of his approaching end, /
was the more anxious to unburden his mint
In short time after, Mr. Ryan breathe
his last The whole affair is to be Thorough
q ly investigated"

GALvANIsM derived It's name from the
philosopher who published it to the world.
In Galyani's study there was table, upon
which lay some frogs, that were prepared for
a broth for his wife who was unWe1. Near
these was an electrical machine, A student
casually touched, with a silver probe, the
crural nerve of one of them, which occasion
ed commissions on the part of the animal
Galyani was absent at the time; but, the
plFig curiosity Of his wife, who was pres
ent, did not allow it to escape her observa-
ton. When the philosopher returned, she
informed him Of thestrange occurrence, and
attributed it to the influence of the machine
From these hints, he proceeded to inyesti,
gate the causes, and soon detected the erro-
neous supposition of his wife; but, establish.

A REMARKABLE Mantle German
town (Ohio) Emporium has an obituary
notice ofMr. John Schafer, who died in that
vicinity on the 24th of March, aged 81 years
The notice concludes with these surprising
statements
The deceased was the largest man that we
ever saw. The coffin was sufficiently large
to contain five men of ordinary size : meas
uring in width three feet four inches in the
clear, and three feet in height. Three men
could have worked in it at the same time
with convenience. It required six men to
take him from the bed on which he expired.
This was done by raising a platform-re-
moving the headboard ofthe bed-stead, and
taking him out endwise They could nos
get the coffin in the house, but by taking off
the door facing of an old vacated house that
stood in the yard, they got it into that, and
carried the corpse thither in three empty
bags. A wagon and four horses stood pre-
pared, and ten men placed the coffin into
the grave, they had two line dosbled-one
at each end and one large well-rope in the
middle; and seventeen men to let DIN this
great sprinkle of mortality into its last home
on earth. His weight was not known.

Curious FAoT-In the Bay of Argosto-

streams which flow from the sea into the
