HWhat'S in the Wind?D

The Washington Union comes down upon the Democratic Review-the especial organ of the fierce 'young Democracy in the following scathing terms:
 ''ln the last week of January the Novem- Der and December numbers of the Demo- ocratic Review-the organ of the self-styl- ed progressive and fast men-came to Us frightened with its usual cargo of buccaneer morality and savage denunciaton. The semi-occasional appearance of this piratica print is in keeping with the irregular and ilegitimate purpose of the plunder party which it represents, and whose interests it seeks to promote by its unprincpled foravs in the field of politics. The style, too, in which it is written, partakes, by analogy, of the character of its ethics; and as the one is but profligate disregard of the prin- clples of common honesty, so the other treats with c9ntemptuous scorn the rules of common sense. The half-educated wri- ter who makes up its articles conveys his contraband sentiments by the disguise and concealments of the guilty smuggler, and contrives, either from inca pacity to speak with an honest candor, or with the design of masking his illicit aim 10 obscure his meaning in a cloud of violent antitheses, far-fetched allusioDs, swelling epithets, and rediculous solecisms."
 And the Review has been for months the recognised organ of the flIibusters and ar- nexationsts, this bitter denuncation by the Union is ominous of the fate that will be pronounced upon all agitators by the in- coming administration. "Sef-styled pro- gressive," "buccaneer morality" "piratical prints" unprincipled forays!' Pretty terms to be applied to the organ-in-chief of the fillibusters, by the recognized organ of the national Democracy
 The fillbutsters have abused WILLARD FILLMORE to the "top of their bent," and to man almost, voted against the Whig candidates. Their lavortes were elected, but if FRANKLIN PIERCE is not abused by them with more venom, in less than one year, than they ever launched at MT. FILLMORE, there's no reliance to be placed upon the signs of the times. They have abused one President for dscharging his sworn duties. They will soon have the delectable satisfaction of abusing another, whom nineteen twentieths of them assisted to elect Hope all concerned will have happy time of it.

THE LASsO AT VALPARAISO

The Chilean horse is lively and active
little animal, and capable of far more ey-
ertion than you may think at first sight.
The Chilean nearly always gallops, but
not at such wild speed as the Argentine
he thinks more of horse flesh, and pays
more attention to his animals than the
former, but we need not say more, for the
Argentine does not attend to them at all
Ncarl y all the Chileans carry the lass,o
on their saddles, and have the same deX-
terity in using it as their Eastern neigh
bors. The children commence in their
earliest youth practicing with it, and
you can see nearly everywhere little boys
running about wi h thin lassos of twine,
and catching chickens or little dogs, even
irving their skill once in while OH a
larger one, but this is rather hazardous
experiment, as the Chilean dogs, as sooll
as they feel something around their necks
for they live day and night in tie
greatest fear of this instrument-fy fol
their lives, not unfrequently carrying the
little daring, but new screaming boy, with
them long way through the street, till
the line breaks, or somebody else comes

Household Miseriee in the East.

According TO the account of Mr.. Lyde.
in his recent published narrative OF. A
Visit to the Secret Sects of North SYRIA. "
Antioch must be delightful place TO live
in. After referring To the immense swarms
of ants, of five different species, which
annoyed his person and destroyed his
food, he says: Inferior in numbers, but
superior in size, were the cats. True.
they did not live i'm the house, but they
were always on the watch on tiles, and
the moment my servant was gone on an
errand to the bazaars, they would descend
to the court, and quickly enter the door
or windows Of the room, and make off
with anything they could lay paw on.
Once or twice. impelled by hunger, they
made bold dash and seized the food al.
most from our very mouths At length.
however, L began to bestir myself, and
every time cat made its appearance. IL
was saluted with my boots, or other avail
able mdtcriet Of war, Of which took care
to have some within reach of my hand
and latterly it was ludicrous to see the
disconnected look which pussy gave when
she saw me, putting back her ears to mark
her disgust, and then, after moinentary
reflection TO consider whether an entrance
could be effected. mahinga precipitate re-
treat, before tie weight of my vengeance
reached her.
As were the cats by day, so were the
rats by night. My servant had placed
his wrapper in an elevated position TO he
out of the way but 10 his dismav, wbe,,
he took it down after some little time. he
found that they had eaten no small part
of it. OF the cockroaches, ccntipedcs,
huge spiders, and bugs, of course there
were representatives, though fortunately
they were scarce: indeed do not remem-.
Der whether there were any of the last.
but had, subsequently, ample opportun.
iticS of studying their natural history.
To conclude: On coming home one days
| found that my servant had had battle
with snake of very venomous kind.
which had some how or other got behind
the door, and had not been killed without
some danger TO his naked calves. OF
snakes at Antioch there are plenty. lurk-
ing under it's ruined walls: and one day
that was sitting OH fragment of them,
| was artled by seeing snake eyeing
me at little distance, which no sooner
saw me turn towards it than it darted off
into hole hard by. II is necessary TO
be careful in selecting ones scat in such
places, or one may find ones self in un-
pleasant propinquity to a snake or scor-
mon.

CAPTAIN INGRAHAM N HIS BOYuoop.-
\ correspondent at Holme's Hole, sends
us the following -" Captain Peter Dag
gett was coast pilot of the Congress fri
gate in 1878, during the late war with
Great Britain. They had on board the
Congress a midshipman, lad of about
10 years of age. One day, while at sea,
they saw a ship, which they afterwards
took and made a prize of. When the
ship was discovered in the distance, Capt.
Daggett and the little ''middys" were on
the foreyard. Capt. ID. had glass
through which he looked at the ship
The young midshipman inquired. What
do you make of her, sir 2" Capt. Dag
gett took the boy under his arm and ran
out to the end of the yard, where they
could get better view of the vessel
"Oh, sir" said the boy, "I hope she is
frigate, and that we shall have hard
fight, and that every officer over me will
be killed. Then | shall be captain, and
you and will take the two ships into
port, in grand style" This brave little
fellow is now Commander IngrahaIn -
the hero of the late affair in Smyrna
Vineyard (EdgO,town) Ga-efte.

CHANGE OF FoRTUNH.-Mr. Samuel
Brannan, of San Francisco, has an annual
income of S250,000. In 1910, Blannan
was poor and pennilcss printer in New
York, and worked in the Remocrm office
for Messrs Bolton & Livingston. About
nine years ago he arrived at New York
from the West. A crownlesS hat, with
coat and " unmentionables to match,
were not vey prepossessing rccommcnda-
tons for the adventurcr. He succeeded.
however, in joining the New York division
of the MormonS, and for more than year
was editor of their paper. Brennan, with
three or four hundred of the prosecuted
saints" became attracted by the glow
ing description given by Fremont and
others of California. They chartered
the ship Brooklyn. and Immediately sail
ed for the future FL Dorado, where Mr.. B.
has amasSed an immense fortune. So
much for the nutability of human affairs.

"a case involving the question
" What constitutes common drunkard 2"
came before the Common Pleas Curt,
Judge Bishop presiding, at Worcester.
Mass, last week. The case was that of
a man who had appealed from the juds-
ment of a magistrate, by whom he was
convicted and sentenced as common
drunkard. Judge Bishop ruled in the
case that common drunkard is enc hose
appetitcs are so depraved, that he habit
ually yields to the common temptation Of
drunkenness and that, although man
NAV have b;en drunk three times in six
months, or even five times in SIX months,
it would not be sufficient to constitute
him a common drunkard, but it would
be simply aqucstion of fact for the jury. "
Upon this ruling, the defendant was dis
missed.

INSANITY ATTRIBUTED TO QUININE.-
The True Delta of New Orleans remarks
the fact, that although no people are
usually less liable to insanity than the
Irish, yet now scarcely day passes, that
some Irishman is not sent to the Insane
Asylum. We quote the rest:
Physicians who are opposed to the
use of quinine in yellow fever cases, give
it as their opinion that this new develop
ment Of atendency to insanity is the result
of a too general use Of that subtle and
deadly medicine. Public opinion attrib-
utes not a few of the many yellow fever
deaths which have of late so terribly
swelled our mortuary annals, to the un-
wise use of quinine; and if to the suppo-
sed death dealing qualities of quinine, be
added the production of deafness aud
blindness, and swollen limbs, and inSani'
ty. how great must be the responsibility
of those who have so freely, in tifty-graln
doses, administered it.
But the new outburst of insanity is not
wholly confined to any one class of our
population. Every nationality contributes
its victims, upon whose brains the writ
ten troubles" of quinlne have been traced
for all of those who have recently become
insane, have but short time since has
their names recorded in physicians books
as among the lucky ones who were cured
of yellow fever.

The report states that the Order is in

diction, and everywhere gives tokens of
renewed zeal and energy in the temper
ance cause. As new phase, clearly
marking itself on the spirit and action of
the Order, we take pleasure in stating
that the great and vital principle of the
prohibition of the liquor traffic has be-
come the leading idea The pledge to
| total abstinence, the reform of intelnper-
ate individuals, and the persuasion OF
others into organization, are no longer
| felt to be sufficient to the calls of society,
or acknowledged as the primary action OF
the Sons of Temperance. 1t has become
| the sense of the Order, with much una
nimity, that the liquor traffic must die TO
save the lives and happiness of our peo-
pie, and the general Integrity and pros
perity of the community. To this result,
it is freely engaging itself, and with the
strength of its compact and adaptive or
ganization once rightly brought into &C
ton, and the manful cxertion Of its con-
sequent mighty will, God blessing it,
our great cause must triumph.
