Watty Morrison a Scotch clergyman
was man of great wit and humor. On
one occasion lie entreated an officer at
Fort George to pardon a poor fellow who
was sent to the halberds. The officer of
lered to grant his request if he would,
in return grant him the first favor he
would ask. Mr.. Morrison agreed to this,
and the officer Immediately demanded
that the ceremony OF baptism should be
performed on puppy. The clergyman
agreed to it, and a party Of many gentle
men assembled to witness the novel baI-
tism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to hold
up the dog. as was customary in the bap-
tisn of children and said: AS | am a
minister of the Church of Scotland,
must proceed according TO the cercmo-
MES Of the church,
"Certainly," said the major, Il expect
all the ceremony"
"Well, then, major, / begin by the usu-
al questions-you acknowledge yourself
the father of this puppy?"
Aroarof laughter burst from the crowt
and the officer threw the candidate fol
baptism away.

The whole Democratic Ticket Elected,
OVER THE LEFT.


The result of the election Yesterday
was such as might astonish even the dem
| ocrats themselves, Although the whole
wing, freesoil and Known othing force
was organized i'll opposition, and the ut
most eXertlons made throughout the day
to bring defeat and dismay upon the de-
mocracy, we are prepared to announce to-
day our belief, from the returns thus far,
that. as far as Lucas county is concern
ed,
MIR. COMMAGER Is ELECTED
to represent Us in Salt River country by
a majority, which we need not be at the
trouble to compute.

The Congressional Canvass.

From letters from conversation with
numerous well-nformed persons, and
from the tone of the press in this First
Congressional District, We feel confident
of the election of Judge SpooNER by q
handsome majority. The feeling among
the people is intense though it does not
exhibit itself in loud talk, or mass meet
ings. They are quietly waiting their
time. to give their verdict against the
Pierce Administration in tones which
can as little Ice mistaken as can those
which come to us from our sister states
which have just voted.
With full organization, which is pro-
ceeding rapidly in all Of the towns, and
with full vote, Of which we have every
reason to be confident Judge SPooNER
will receive handsome majorities in every
county in the district except Milwaukee,
and he will receive here a much larger
vote than was ever given to an opponent
of the regular democracy" We mean
what we say and our friends in other
counties may go to work with good cour-
age. The nominee Of the Republican
party, an upright, capable man, an elo-
qucnt speaker, man who always knows
where he stands and what his mine is
is every way worthy of the most active
efforts for his election.-lni. Sentinel.

Stealing.

II there be any one thing more than an
|other calculated to arouse the bitter feelings,
which form too large component part OF
human nature, it is to have highly priced
fruit tree, one upon which you have lavish
ed time and labor and measurably fixed your
affections. broken down to the very roots by
parcel of vllainous boys, for the sake of a
few un-browned peaches its branches pre-
sent. Such is the condition in which we
find one Of our choicest trees. II parents
would confer upon their offspring that NOR
al instruction for which God will one day
hold them responsible, their children would
not be so base and mean as to be guilty OF
the low vice of stealing. Parental restraint
is entirely too lax in this city, and we would
uncomplainingly be sufferer to even a
greater extent than we have been, if by SO
doing we could influence weak and misgud-
ed fathers and mothers to exert little more
influence over their offspring. Require of
your children faithful account Of the way
in which they pass each evening and see to
it that it is correct and you will have less to
sorrow for in the future.

Growing too Soen

We learn from our exchanges that upon
the first receipt Of the election returns, our
enthusiastic cotemporary of the Dubuque
Express hoisted his rooster and crowed vo-
eirerously over the general result. When
the returns began to pour in from other
counties, he took down his Shanghai and
hid him away in the fur,hermost corner OF
the deepest drawer in his office. Since
then, being ''birds of feather" he has
gladly availed himself Of every opportunity
that presented to hide away as undscover,
ably as the chicken he secreted. 1t won't
do; another time, to use classical express
sion he ranst -"",.:s al l.a sa.s out of the
wood before he hollers,' if, indeed, he does
not get "out Of his head in the operation.

A Fight

Two of our prominent and peaceably
disposed citizens permitted their "angry
passions to arisc'' yesterday while in the
Banking House of Messrs. Cook, Sargent &
Co., with regard to worthless bank bill
until finally the lie was given, the blow re-
ceived and scene ensued that might have
resulted in bloodshed, had not the afghtine
member" of the firm came to the rescue and
thrust his body between the combatants and
caused hostiities to cease. It was aston
ishng what change was effected in the
minds Of the beligerent parties in that
short space of time, rs the bank bill before
claimed by each could now find an owner
in neither!

A Beautiful Passage.

We extract the following from the "Rev-
cries Of a Bachelor by Tx Marvel. 1t is
a very fire; "a man without some sort of
religion is a, best poor reprobate, the foot
ball of destiny, With no tie linking him to- in
tinity and to the wondrous eternity that is
begun within; but a woman without it is ev-
en- worse-u fame without heat, rain
bow without color, a flower without perfume
A man may in some sort tie his hopes aud
his honors to this weak shifting ground tack
lie, to his business or the world; but vo-
man without that anchor called Faith is
drift ard wreck. A man may clums.ly
continue a sort oflnoral responsibility out Of
relation to mankind; but woman in her
comparatively isolated sphere. where affec-
ton and not purpose is the controlling mo-
tive can find no basis in any other system or
right action but that of spiritual faith. A
man may craze his thoughts and his brain
to truthfulness, in such poor harborage as
fame reputation may stretch before him,
but woman-where can she put her hopes
in storms if notin Heaven! And that sweet
abiding iove-that endu-
ring hope, me Glowing every page and
scene of life-lia hting them with pleasant
radience, when the worlds storms break like
an army with smoking cannon. Who
has enjoyed the love Of Christian mother
but will echo the thought with energy; and
hallow it with tear

WHAT A GERMAN EDITOR sAYs.-The
editor of s.Der Pioneer" published in Louis
vile, KY, is greatly incensed at the pro-
ceedings Of the Know-Nothings. and says
that some of the most wealthy German cit
izens of the United States have raised q
million Of dollars, and intend to increase to
several millions of dollares, to turn the en-
tire tide Of future German immigration to
Canada, or South America, and TO induce
all the free minded Germans in the Unit
ed States to emigrate to another country.
If the editor means by the ''free minded
German sfree thinkers j. e. infidels, Sab
bath breakers, aud red-republicans, their
emigration to some other country would be
blessing to this. Many of the Germans
are quiet, orderly citizens, and their inau :
ence is healthful wherever they 60. Pat
riotism would make US wish to retain these
and let the rest 60 where they are wanted,
if any such place there be.
