three times three cheers for Lafourche, Mr.. Bush,
the Constitution and Democracy. The "Cnion y
was not mentioned during the sitting of the Con-
vention. Altogether it was one of the most
wrangng and discordant meetings that we have
ever witnessed. But how could it have been
otherwise with so much foreign material III it

ticular favorite. Ireland and Germany were well
represented in the convention and worked together

A CALL FOR PREPARATION FOR DIsUN1oN.-The
Richmond (Va.) Enquirer has long article On
the present aspect Of the slavery discussion, in
which it says that the refusal to admit Kansas into
the Uuion as slave State must make Mason and
Dixon's line the boundaries of foreign States, and
in view Of that result asking the Legislature to take
condition of military defense. The writer saws
there are two hundred thousand fighting men in
Virginia, and that one-tenth or twenty thousand,
ought at once to be drafted into the militia and
carefully drilled by the graduates at the military
schools. These, with railroads to move the troops,
it thinks, will make Virginia impregnable.

To PRESERVE BouoUET.-We find in an
exchange paper the following recipe for pre-
serving bouquet, said to be from florist of
many years experience:
"When you receive bouquet sprinkle it
lightly with fresh water; then put it into a
vessel containing some soap-suds; this will
nutrify the roots and keep the flowers as bright
as new. Take the bouquet out Of the suds
every morning and lay it sideways (the stock
entering first) into clean water, keep it there
minute or two, then take it out and sprinkle
the flowers lightly by the hand with water :;
replace it in the soap-suds, and it will bloom as
fresh as when first gathered. The soap-suds
need changing every three or four days. By
observing these rules bouquet can be bright
and beautiful for at least month, aud will
last still longer in very passable state"

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILEs.-White Pine
pitch, in its natural state, or in the condition it

been so elated the past week at their success
that they could hardly contain themselves.
Shouts and jibes at their opponents was the

Betting on Elections.

An Editor OF the Albany Register, in speak
ing of betting on elections, tells the follow
ing story on himself.
We were a great Jackson man. we were,
the last time that the old General ran for the
Presidency, and whenever General Jackson
runs for that office, shall be so again. We
lived in the country then, and had a neigh
Dor who was on the side of the political fence,
who was a great dealer in horses. Well,
we got into an argument with him one day,
and so sure was he of success that he offered
to bet a horse against So that the old Hero
of New Orleans would not be elected. We
took the bet The argument being one that
had no end, was renewed from time to time
with the same result, until five horses on
one side and $3.50 on the other were staked
on the issue of the election We won. But
we had forgotten to designate the animals,
and such lot of horses as was rendered in
payment Of the bet was a sight to see. If
there was an ailment to which horse-f1esh is
subject that was not exhibited by one fthese
five horses we should like to be informed Of
its diagnosis. There was ring-bone, and spav-
in, and stringhalt, and blindness and heaves,
and one venerable roadster had all these, and
in addition was deaf as a post. We kept
them a week as a collection of curiosites in
the animal line, and then sold them at auc
ton. A cording to our recollection, four of
them sold for $40, in the aggregate. and we
gave tin-pedlar $40 for taking the other.
We have not bet on elections since, and
don't want to win any more horses.

IMMIGRATION CHEcKED.-Emgration from
Europe to New York has received decided
check. The number that arrived in March
and April, 1854, were 34,906; in March and
April, 1858, (up to Tuesday the Gath ult.,)
5,35s, which gives the enormous decrease in
two months of 2o,54s. In the period of last
year 1875 of the emigrants came from Ire
land: but from the lst of March to the oath
of May, the arrivals from that country num-
bered only 1851, which exhibits falling Oft
to the amount of 1925 This is attributa-
Bile mainly to the distress that has prevailed
among the laboring classes in this country
within the past season. Cincinnati Gazette

COAST WHALING.-1he Crescent City Hr-
oil says that two more large size! humpback
whales were killed within three miles Of that
place during the last week of August, and
taken to an Island in the bay and converted
into oil. 1t adds
The company engaged in this business
have now captured four Of these monsters
within less than three weeks. The enterprise
bids fair of becoming very profitable.
We are informed that the oil from the
humpback is worth some twenty per cent
more than that Of the right whale, and is
next in value to the products Of the sperm
whale
The Indians in the neighborhood feed up
on the oiia from these whales, and the sqaaws
have a busy time Of it in curing them for
