SOME years ago, as the late Rev Dr. Pringle
of Perth was taking walk one summer after
noon, two young beaus took it into their heads
to break Jest upon the old parson Walking
briskly up to him, and making their bow po-
ltely, they asked him if he could tell them
the color Of the devils wig. The worthy cler-
gyman, surveying them attentively few Sc
cOnds, made the following reply :-"Truly,
here is a most surprising case Two men have
served master all the days of their life, and
don't know the color of his wig !"

GFThe Jug is most singular utensil.
A pail, tumbler or decanter can be rinsed, and
you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that
it is clean; but the jug has a little hole in the
top, and the interior is all darkness. Noeye
penetrates it, no hand moves over the surface.
You can clean it only by putting in water, shak-
ing it up and pouring it out. If the water
comes out clean, you Judge you have succeed
ed in cleaning the jug, and rice versa. Hence
the lug is like the human heart. No mortal
eve can lonk into its recessess, and you can
judge only of purity by what comes out Of it.

B The following voluminous, not TO say
luminous Verdictwa given by an Eastern cor
oner:
We believe firmly that the deceased came TO
his death by falling from the top Of the nain-
mast on the bulwarks-fell overheard and was
drowned-washed ashore and froze to death;
then carried to the watch house and eaten to
death by rats
Great verdict that. Must have been an Irish

Here is another, same sort, and a curiosity
of its kind:
At the Derby Assizes, in a case Of stealing,
where two men and female were implicated,

and the men guilty; but we recommend them
to mercy, because there is not evidence enough
to convict them l''-

The Convention Of the Factions.

The TWO factions of the democracy have
held their joint convention, and agreed upon
ticket composed of four Bentontcs and
three antics; or as some interpret The politics
OF the factions, three Antics, three Benton
ties, ani-Sterling Price! We give brief
synopsis of their proceedings in another
column. Scamps, rottens, nulificrs and
disunionists sat in council with Freesoilcrs
and Abolitionists, and after snarling at each
other three days and nights, united their
fortunes, and have submitted the result Of
their efforts TO the people for ratfication.--
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed 10 see
how the mixture will take, or rather be Ia
ken. We have conversed with several An
ties, chiefly residents Of Charlton, who can
not swallow Price, although he was nomi-
mated by the votes of their faction. They
recolect his vacilating course, and his sup
port of "ugly John Miller" in preference
to their pet, James S. Green, which indi-
rectly aided the election of our present tall
ented representative, John G. Miller, and
avow determination to disapprove Of his
course by Withholding their votes. Again,
others go for him checriully. Mr.. c. F.
jackson is for him decidedly, we under
stand; DR.. Lowry also supports him, but
does not relish it so well. The "Mctropol-
itan" is quite in ecstacies at the result. as is
the St. Louis Times" and the smaller
lights of Anti-ism will, Of course, sneeze
too.
Benton men, it is we'll known, are scarce
about these parts, and we have heard moth
ing from them. The St. Louis Union
however, has put the nominees at the head
ofits columns, and we suppose the marriage
contract may be considered as signed, though
many members Of the family will never give
their consent. In week or two we shall
see how the thing works, and report &C.
cordngly.

The PERPETUAL SABBATn.-By differ
ent nations, every day of the week is set
apart for the public worship: Sunday by the
Christians, Monday by the Creeks Tuesday
by the Persians, Wednesday by the Assyr
ians, Thursday by the Egyptians, Friday by
the Turks, and Saturday by the Jews. Add
to this the fact of the diurnal revolution of
the earth, giving every variation of longi-
tude different hour, and it becomes appar-
ant that there is upon the earth perpetu-
al Sabbath.

ment of the agency of the Eagle Cotton Fac
tory established in this city through the

the first important agency ever established
in this State out Of St. Louis, and being q
great convenience to the merchants and gro
GERS of the surrounding country, should be
well sustained. .8ppropOs: We suggest the

Another Steamboat Accident.

The steamer "Saluda," bound for Council
Bluffs, with heavy freight and a large num-
Der Of passengers, burst her boilers at Lex
'ngton last Friday morning, killing some
one hundred and thirty persons. She had a
number of persons on board bound for Cali
Eornia, and also near hundred Mormons
IN route for Salt Lake. The clerk and mate
were the only officers that escaped.
We have received no connected account,
but the disaster is said to have been one of
the most heart-rending ever Witnessed
We understand the boat had made one or
two unsuccessful attempts to make the point
above Lexington, but could not stem the
current, and had fallen back to generate
more steam. The engineer informed the
Captain, as they were about starting, there
was no water in the boilers, but the start
was attempted, and the explosion followed,
dealing death and destruction among the
passengers. The Captain was blown some
hundred yards up on the bluff. One of the
pilots, Mr.. Labarge, was thrown to the OPP
posite side of the river. A large iron safe
in the office, was thrown several hundred
yards up on the bluff,
Within few days of each other, hun
dreds of persons have been suddenly
launched into eternity without one moments
warning; sorrow and distress have been car
ried to the hearts of surviving relatives and
friends, and the entire community shocked
at the awful catastrophcs, produced, we ar,
constrained to believe, by recklessness anc
carclessness, Or incompetence on the part o
boatmen. Is there no remedy for this whole
sale destruction Of life? Can nothing b.
done to prevent such terrible and heart
rending occurrences? People cannot tel
what boat is sea-worthy, or what one is Of
icered by competent and careful men, ant
hence they are innocen1y slaughtered
Surely something can and ought speedily tc
be done.

New Dress.

Our neighbor Of the Banner" is absent
at St. Louis, procuring "new dress" for
his paper. We are glad to note his pros
perity, and if LADEw could only cast new
face for the editor, as well as he can for the
type to print his paper, the children Of new
settlements he might visit in future would
be saved many heart-futter.
We suppose our neighbor, when he gets
back, and gets on his "new togs," will &c
in for the late union of the Democracy with
might and main. Indeed, union is a Boon
that he has long and assiduously labored to
bring about, and we congratulate him upon
the prospect of the good time coming"

STEAM CARRlAeEs on COMMON ROADS,
Messrs. Clarke and Mosley, of Bristol,
have just patented new steam locomotive
for the conveyance Of goods and passengers
on common roads. The entire machine is
intended to consist of an engine of eight or
ten horse power, to which is attached a
long-bodied carriage, capable of accommo-
dating forty persons and their baggage.-
The American steam carriage company is
now building Il steam carriage which has
ocoasioned, in the scientific papers of the
United States, various opinions. The
failure of Gurney's and Gardens steam car.
riages in England is, to many, proof Of the
impossibility Of such undertaking. Such
trials have been made in France and have
failed there also.

Riot in St. Louis,

The riot in 81. Louis, of which we gave a
brief account last week, arose from the fact
of the Germans taking possession Of the
polls in toe sixth Ward. A party Of Amer
leans undertook to clear the polls, and a
general fight ensued, in which guns, pistols,
knives and stones were freely used. Sew
eral persons were killed, and large number
wounded. SEINE Of them ,riously. Several
buildings were fired and burned down. A
military force had to be stationed around the
Offices of the German paper, and the Union.
The residences of Alex. Kayser and Colonel
Benton were also threatened. Such scenes
are highly disreputablc to St. Louis, and our
State, and those who instigate them ought
to be held responsible for the lives and
property destroyed.
