RAcHEL.-Many OF the eastern papers
come to US literally laden with p%anegyrics
Of this celebrated actress. All the lauda-
tory phrases in the language are brought
into requisition to do her honor. and she is
by many exalted into the character Of q ma
tional benefactress, to whom the gratitude
of whole people is due for the magnificent
honor she does them in crossing the ocean
to pocket their dollars by the hundreds of
thousands. As an actress, Rachel is doubt
less unriyallcd; but what of it, Does that
constitute the chief glory of life and raise
her to a pinnacle above the greatest philos-

The Maine Election.

The opinion which we expressed q few
day. g in regard to the election in Maine.
is corroborated by the best judges and BY
those who are nearest to the scene of action.
Though the fusion of Democrats and ultra
Wings procured a triumph on a local issue,
ye, the result Of the election shows that the
Republican party o%utnumbers either of its
opponents by several thousands, and has
very nearly a majority in the popular vote.
In regard however to the important lesson
taught by the Maine election, the Boston
Atlas makes the following truthful and sug-
gestive remarks:
"The result in Maine shows the n~ecessi-
~ of standing fast BY the great principle,
and Of avoiding minor issues. In the CON-
ing conflict which is to decide forever the
| destiny of America-which is to determine
whether the United States shall be ruled by
an ol;garchy of Shareholders, or by the peo-
| ple-which is to create the institutions OF
the great West and Sou.h-we want the
aid Of all men,, whatever may be their opin-
ions about other matters. We urge the
greatness OF the cause in behalf of conces-
sion and union. We beg men to forget for
q time minor dissensions and matters oil
smaller import, and to band themselves
together in behalfof a cause which we hon.
estly believe to be ovcrshadowing in its i'm
portance. And If any are too narrow mind
ed to see, as we do most clearly, that the
cause Of free territory has the fret claim
upon their strength and energy, we leave
then to reap in the future the fruits of theil
own short sightedness."

BINDING UP A SSAKE.-It is mentioned
by an exchange as a singular circumstance,
that during the late harvest in Sussex coun.
ty, N. J., JAMES CoURsEs bound up = rat
tie snake in a sheaf of wheat, and was not
aware of the fact till a boy called attention
to it. This reminds US of a similar occur
renee many years since, when we bound
up a copper head in the same way, and did
not discover the fact until two other sheayes
had been bound, when on looking back, we
saw the snake writing under The band Of
a standing sheaf. The fact was rather a
damper for the rest of the day.-Rochester

SHOCKING DEATH FROM HYpRopHoBrA.-

SHocKlSe DEATH FROM HYpRoPRoBrA.-
Yesterday morning, a man named VIM.
White, for several years slip-tender for the
Camden and Philadelphia Steamboat Ferry
Company, died in the most terrible parox-
ysm Of hydrophobia. II appears that about
the middle Of July he was bitten on the
finger by a cat, and suffered much from the
effects OF the bite at lie time, but the wound
was apparently healed after a week or so,
and nothing more was thought Of it. Mr..
White continued 10 attend TO his business
until some time during Saturday, when he
complained Of his hand ~paining him, and
violent pains darting through him. He con-
tinued TO grow worse and worse, until
k~ydrophobio. with It's appalling effects.
seized him, and he was obliged to be tied
to prevent HE doing harm. In this condi-
ton he remained until yesterday morning,
when death ended his misery.-PhH. Cor.

published BY their authors, and have be en-
unequivocaily condemned BY all sane and

upon The people OF Kansas. Has not this
approval been coercsd by the Governmen,

notice that different ostmasters in the Free
States have been turned out of oaice be-
cause they did not agree with Pierce and
Douglas a. to the beauties of slavery, and
the Bsnner has doubtless proh,ed by those
significant Instances Of executive interfer-
ence. In this matter OF the Nebraska in
fanny, we believe tha, its course lhas been
utterly repugnant to the opinions OF the
larger portion OF the Democrats in this Vi
entity, and having the consciousness that
il mis-represents lie party on this important
question. and the general notion that it is
doing no good any way, il embraces the
p~leassnter alternative OF making . little
money while the executive sun continues
to shine. The logic of such q course may
be very convincing. but We cannot perceive
much beauty in its morality.
