be no time for laughing, we pray that it may
not occur until after our demise, when,
should it take place, our monument will pro-
badly follow the movement. 1t is singu-
lar fact that if man travel round the earth
in an eastwardly direction, he will find, on
returning to the place of departure, he has
gained one whole day; the reverse of this
proposition being true also, it follows that
that the Yankees who are cons stantly travel
ing to the west, do not live as long by day
or two as they would if they had staid at
home; and supposing each Yankees time

The Four Huuchbacks.

At short distance from Douai, there
stood castle on the bank of the river, near
a bridge. The master of this castle was
hun chbacked. Nature had exhausted her
ingenuity in the formation of his whimsical
figure. In place of understanding she had
given him an immense head, which never
theless, was lost between his two shoulders /;
he had thick hair, a short neck, and horri-
BILE visage.
Spite of his deformity, this bugbear be-
thought himself of falling in love with a
beautiful young lady, the daughter of poor,
but respectable burgess of Douai. He
Isought her in marriage; and as he was the
richest person in the district, the poor girl
was delivered up to him. After the nup-
tials he was as much an object Of pity as
she was, for being devoured by jealousy, he
had no tranquility night or day, but went
prying and rambling everywhere, and suf-
fered no stranger to enter the castle. One
day during the Christmas festival, while
standing sentinel at his gate, he was accost-
ed by three humpbacked minstrels. They
saluted him as a brother; as such, asked
him for refreshments, and at the same time,
to establish the fraternity, they ostentatious-
| ly shouldered their humps at him. Contra
ry to expectation, he conducted them into
the kitchen, and gave them a capon with
peas, and to each piece of money over and
above. Before their departure, however, he
warned them never to return on pain of be-
ing thrown into the river: At this threat of
the Chatelain the minstrels laughed heartily,
and took the road TO the town, singing in
full chorus, and dancing in grotesque man.

castle. He, on his part without paying fur

The lady, who saw her husband cross the
bridge and heard the minstrels, called them
back to amuse her. They had not been long

knocked at the gate, by which she and the

opened the gate to her husband. He had

An English paper states that new inStrq-
ment for extracting bullets from wounds has
been introduced in the Crimea. The instru-
ment consists of small tube to which is
attached an air pump. When the end of
the tube is placed in the wound against the
bullet, the air is extracted by the pump, and
the bullet adhering to the end of the tube
is drawn out. |. af u-rg

the Golfers to release her prisoners, for night

not probably be long absent. But what was

useless. The main object now was to get

William Hewitt says that, by one of those
acts which neither science nor curiosity can
excuse, the skull of Pope is now in the pr-
vate collection of phrenologist. The man
ner in which it was obtained is said to have
been this: On some occasion of alteration
in the church, OR burial of some one in the
same spot, the coffin of Pope was disinter-
red, and opened to see the state of the re
mains; by bribe to the sexton of the time,
possession of the skull was obtained for the
night, and another skull was returned in
stead Of it. Fifty pounds were paid TO
manage and carry through this transaction.
Be that as it may, the skull of Pope figures
in private museum.

Col. SAVAGE COMES DOWN and acknowledges
in letter that he does not "pretend to deny
the truth of the official statements made and
published by the Council-he does not deny
that he did join the Know-Nothing Order, and
that he did make speech in few days there
after to KnowNothing Council, in which he
denounced in the harshest terms both for
eigners and Catholics-he does not deny the
truth of either Of these statements-not at all.
The point he makes is, that these statements
are not entitled to the character of proof, be-
cause forsooth, they involve breach Of the
obligations of secrecy, which rests on all MEM
bers of the Order"
We should suppose Mr.. Savage ought to
drop this bubble about "proof," unless he in
tends to imply that as any member of the
Order, who discloses its proceedings, is un-
worthy Of credence, his own admission Of hav-
ing been member and having made speeches,
cannot be quoted against him. The Colonel
may thus neutralize his own admissions by dis
crcditing his own veracity.

A Reluctant Response.

The Washington Union at last responds to
the numerous demands in regard to the Penn
sylvania Democratic platform, and says: "We
now republish corrected copy Of all the res
olutions adopted by the sterling Democracy Of
the Keystone State, and ask what Northern
convention Of the opponents of the Democracy
have ever presented more candid and fearless
National platform, or one even remotely COM
parable to this?"
We might answer, "the National Council
has deemed it the best guarantee Of common
justice and of future peace, to abide by and
maintain the existing laws upon the subject Of
slavery, as final and conclusive settlement Of
that subject in spirit and in substance"
But the question is not one of comparison.

not They refused to endorse that legislation,

The Americ hi Union Parry.


Whilst the administration and its Southern
efforts to quiet the agitation and maintain
those existing laws which the administration
has inaugurated, the aggressive Abolitionists
openly proclaim one question paramount with
all others. The Republican fusion, whose OBJ
iect is a conflict between the North and South,
has absorbed almost the whole of the Wing
and Democratic parties North.
Shall there, then, be no union on the part of
those who love the Union? Will not the pa
triotic men Of the North, without regard to the
past nick-names of party, come upon the
American Union platform, maintain the laws
as they are, and put down this nefarious at
tempt to organize war between two sections
of the Union2 What have the National Demo-
Gratis of the North to expect from this admin
istrationS Nothing but the insults which the
Government organ continually utters against
them. What have the Southern Democrats to
expect from their Northern alliesp Those al
lies have abandoned them. They now consti-
tute much of the power with which General

What have those of our own Order, who with
drew from the Philadelphia platform, to expect
from the election of Chase, or the nomination
Of Wilson? Nothing but responsibility and
shame for the nefarious designs which the
Republican leaders contemplate.
When fusions against the law and the Union
are openly organized, why should there not be
fusion of the friends of both for their preser-
vation2
If there was ever any time when the doc
trines of the American Order were vital to the
rights of the South and the perpetuity Of the
Union, it is now, that a sectional war has been
openly declared Let all then, unite in the
advocacy of the American Union Order and its
principles, leaving subordinate questions of
domestic policy to be adjusted by subsequent
decisions, when necessary. The maintenance
of the laws and the preservation of the Union

cal effort Let them be protected by the CO.

us an example of plenary indulgence, in the
liberality with which they embrace in their or
ganization, Nullifers, Disunionists, Abolition
lists, Free-Soilers, and all other varieties Of
opinion that agree to abide by the nominee and
support the succession. Mr.. Andrews, Of
Georgia, in accepting the American nomination
for Governor, thus comments upon this ex-
treme libcrality
