THE CABINET ANB POLICY OF
MIR. BUCHANAN.

The Lancaster Express says -" OF
all the speculations as TO the construct
ion of Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet we have
yet seen none come near the mark.
That gentleman has not yet turned his
attention to the matternot yet being fair
ly out of the smoke and confusion of the
contest. We think, however, that we
can name two gentlemen who will be Of
fered Cabinet appointments under the
new administration, and we do so now
that u readers may hereafter test the
truth of the conjecture by a comparison
with the result. We allude to Hon.
Howell Cobb, of Georgia, and Hon.
John Appleton, of Maine. Mr.. Apple
ton is a confidential friend of the Presi-
dent elect-hayipg been his Secretary
of Legation to the Court of St. James.
Mr.. Cobb is regarded as a representa-
tive of the more conservative school OF
Southern politicians, and this will give
him the preference over equally promi-
nent men of the radical school. The in
innate friends of Mr.. Buchanan assure
US that the policy of the Richmond En-
quirer will not be the policy of the new
administration"

A We'll of Gas in Michigan.

We learn from the Mt. Clemens Ad-
VOcote that a gas spring has been dis
covered on the premises OF Mr. Rose
about four miles above New Baltimore,
on the border of Lake st. Clair. Some
workmen had been for a considerable
time engaged in digging a well on Mr.
Roses premises, a rod or so orth-We
of the house, which is of brick and newly
built, and had, by digging and boring,
in ali, attained the depth of rs feet
They had drawn up the auger to the
place where they left it, with some other
tools, and were at dinner, when they
were startled by a violent noise, at first
like an explosion, and then followed a
roar like blowing off" a large steam
boiler, accompanied by a very percepti-
BILE trembling of the foundation of the
house. As may be supposed, the in
mates rushed out aud beheld, to their
utter astonishment and CONSERVATION,
the we'll vomiting forth huge column
of sand with such a force as to the hight
of over 200 feet. !.
Limbs on a tree close by, some OF
them two and three inches through, were
knocked off and broken in pieces by the
coarse gravel and pebbles as they would
have been by a shower of musket-balls5
the body of the tree and the apple-trees
of orchards for so yards away, were
plastered thick with sand and mud, tuN
auger was blown $50 feet from the welll
A stone weighing 16 pounds was throws
up nearly the same hight and fell 100
yards off. The ground for full an acre
in extent was covered with gravel and
sand to the depth of from one to inches
The gas has been several times ignlted,
and burns with a beautiful white flame )
and though the we'll has beer filled up, Tor
fear that the entire underplnlng OF the
Swan Greek country might be scattered
to the four winds, the current of gas is
20 strong that it finds its way through
several crevices and around the edges
of the wall, and may be at any time ig-
pited as it often is, for the satisfaction OF
yisitors.-Detroit Tribune

The Isthmus of Panama.

The Washington Intelligencer confirms
the rumor that our government has been
negotiating with the government of New
Granada for a cession or transfer of the
jurisdiction or sovereignty of a tract of
country on the Isthmus, embracing, of
course, the line of the railroad, with o
veiw of affording such protection to the
line of the transit route as will make
travel to California safe and unmolested.
The authorities of New Granada are
unable to extend protection to travellers
over the Isthmus, and there is a contin-
ual liability to the repetition of such
scenes as were recently witnessed at
Panama, where o number of Americans
we're murdered by a mob. If the
United States government may obtain
any such command over the Isthmus as
will relieve the Granadian government
of the duty involved it would be a great
advantage not only to our W citizens,
but to every other civilized nation for
travellers from every country in the
world would then be sure of protection.
Nor is the danger of involving the ex-
ternal relations of u government bali
so great by the possession of this right,
as it is without it. With a weak gov
ernuent, the instincts of the mob, iufu-
enced by prejudice of race and color,
and a desire for plumber, for which a
disturbance affords SO many opportuni-
ties, are difficult to repress, and every
outbreak ~endangers the sovereignty of
the present government, by making it
the duty of foreign governments to in-
terfere for the protection Of their own
citizens. Give the authority to some
government strong enough to execute
the duty, and having interest enough in
it to do it properly, and the danger of
any interference affecting the political
existence of the Granadian government
will cease. The mere presence of a po-
lice force sufficient to maintain order
would be the strongest guarantee for
its continuance. The arrangement con-
templates, it is said, a treaty concession
to the q S Government of complete mu-
nicipal power over the route, not the
absolute sovereignty; and which con-
cession the United States are to pay
New Granada a sum of money to be
agreed upon, from which the just claims
of American citizens to indemnity for
losses by the Panama riots of April last
will be paid

A LIBEL UPoN CAPE CoD.-This libel
Gus paragraph appears in a late English
paper:
In the vicinity of Cape Cod two
apple trees and a gooseberry bush ave
called an orchard. Captain Boreas
owns five plum trees, and is looked upon
as an aristocrat. One year they don't
bear and the next they can't-the school
boys using the fruit for bullets to kill
owls with. Great country, that Cape
Cod !"
e There are three Free Mason
Lodges in Smyrna, and one is about to
be opened in Constantinople. The feel
Ing in favor of Masonry is gaining
ground, and it is not feared that the
Ottoman Government will in any way
interfere with the establishment of
Lodges.
EN-. P. Willis, in declining to
lecture before the Mercantile Library
Association of Boston, says: "My
otherwise defeated consumptive symp-
toms have left me with little or no voice,
and just now particularly, a recent hem
orage has reduced me to a whisper"
e 1t is reported in the court cir
Gle at Compeigne, that Queen Victoria
eontemplates making an addition to the
royal family of England in February.
INCREASE IN IowA.-In Is46 the
population of Iowa was 1898. The
estimate OF the present year is 500, 900.
The increase last year was 274,000.

that private letters, received in that city
from the Hon. George NJ. Dallas, United

James, by his confidential friends, con-
vey the important intelligence that he
has succeeded in negotiating a treaty be-

which covors and settles all the points
in dispute between the two countries. 1t
has been the earnest desire of President

given to Mr.. Dallas, when he. entered

a wORD TO POST MASTERS AND
THE DEMOCRACY GENERALLY.

One more issue will close the FIRST
volume of the Union under our charge.
As the subscriptions of many of those
who have been taking eastern weeklies
during the past year are about expiring,
and efforts will be made to get up new
clubs, we have a favor to ask of our
friends, the Post Masters, throughout
the County. When you see your neigh
bors getting up clubs for mammoth east
ern Weeklies, will you not do US the IA
yor to say to them that their own Coup-
y paper needs their support, and if
properly supported can be made far
more interesting and profitable to them
than any other paper they can get. Our
neighbors, ofthe Times, can justly boast
of large subscription list, and that
fact does credit to the sagacity and good
sense of the Republican party in this
County. Ours is much the oldest pa
per, and we furnish on an average near
~ one-third more reading matter than
she Times. As a party organ, we have
avery reason to believe that the Union
stands tolerably fair in the estimation
Of the Democracy of the County, and we
do feel that We deserve a better support
than we are now receiving. That the
subscription of the Times should out
number that of the Union, we hold is a
reproach to the Democratic party of the
County. The fault we cannot believe
10 with us, for we can certainly challenge
. comparison of the Union with the
ISzzexin anFpartiOelar. W. should
regret exceedingly to be compelled to
cut down u paper to the size of the
Times, and yet we believe we would be
justified in doing it under the circum-
stances. We can live with our present
support, but we trust Democrats will
not require us to be content with barely
making a living. If we could be per-
suadsd that the Democracy are now Civ
ing US all the support they are able to
give without Inconvenience to themselves,
We would rest content. But when we
see Democrats making loud professions
of Democracy, and yet are ready to join
in with clubs for eastern papers when
their own home paper is in need of their
support, We fell as though we have just
sause of complaint. We hold it to be
che duty of every Democrat who feels a
vital interest in the success of the party
ut home to support his own County pa
per first, and then if he is able to take
other papers it is all right and proper.
Now, as our friends, the Post Masters,
hold their positions by virtue of their
Democracy, We appeal to them as Dem
ocrats to lend us q helping hand. We
want at least three hundred more sub
scribers than we now have, and we can

From the Washington Correspondence of the
Herald
The Bride of Senator Douglas.

As a correspondent of one of the New
York papers has seen fit to allude to the
fancee of Senator Douglas, making some
statements which are incorrect, 1 thought
that you would, as is your usual prac-
tice, set your contemporary right.
James Madison Cults, the father of
the lady about to become Mrs. Douglas,
has never been in the State Depart.
ment, as stated but has for many years
been in the Second Comptroller's bu-
reau, of which, if experience. ability and
industry were regarded, he would long
since have been the head but unfortu-
nately he has no vote or member of Con-
gress to electioneer for him. He is q
and was named for her distinguished
husband, at her request. Young Cults
resided for many years with his uncle
and aunt, and was a great favorite with
both.
Miss Ada Cults resembles very much
in her name and tone her aunt and
those who remember Mrs. Nj. in her
more youthful days, say there is a great
personal resemblance. Miss G. has been
a distinguished belle here for several
years, and is now twenty-four years of
age. She is tall, with a full form
graceful in movement, and amiable in
disposition. Her face is remarkably
beautiful and her education has devel-
oped a we'll balanced and subtle intel
lect. She has more good strong CON-
mon sense than any belle 1 ever knew.
In religion she is a Catholic, having
been educated at Georgetown Nunnery.
She is the last of a set of bells, all
beautiful and accomplished-viz Miss
Florence Greenbough, cousin of Miss
Cults; y Miss Ada Smith, daughter of
John L. Smith Miss Henrietta Magru-
der, daughter of Capt. Magruder, U. S.
Navy, lately married in Paris to MI.
Hayden, of South Carolina.
Do not think these are all our bellies
only one set, who were for some cause
always named together.
Mr.. Douglas, being a widower, will
have no groomsman, but tie fair bride
will have some bridesmaids.

THE OYSTER TRADB.-The oyster
trade of Baltimore is ofless than twenty
years growth, and now there are up
wards of three hundred vessels employed
in the business, which bring weekly to
the city over l0o, 900 bushels, the larg-
er portion of which, the american says,
are shipped to the West within twenty
four hours of their arrival. A single
establishment in Baltimore shucks,
packs, and ships 1000 bushels per day,
or more than 1000, 900 bushels per
year, excluding the three months in
which the law prohibits their being
brought to the city. At the same time
upwards of 400, 600 bushels of lime are
burned. There are a large number of
establishments engaged in the various
modes of preserving the bivalves for
transportation, and the whole trade far
exceeds So, oOO, 600 per year. The West
''pays for the oysters"

HoHoWay's Pills q certain Cure for
termination ofblood to the head.-Elias Hope. one
of the most celebrated advocates of temperance
in the union, admits that he suffered more than any
one he ever heard o: from termination of blood to
the head. although he was most abstemious both
in eating and drinking, also in taking rest yet he
was so had at times, that in the midst ofhis most
eloquent discouTses, he was compelled to leave off
addressing his auditors, and on several occasions
has been carried AWAY from meeting completely
senseless. Having seen the good effects of Hollo-
ways Pills, he was induced to give them a trial,
and, to use his own words, they acted like magic.
1t is fourteen months ago since he commenced ia
king this celebrated medicine, which completely
cured him in two months, and has not had anv re.
turn of this complaint since. Thdse Pills are won
derfully eficacious in all disordars of the stomach
and bowels.

but the winding up of the Fusion farce
begun last winter. It was some sixty
days in electinga Speaker, was three
hundred days in session, and then IN
dertook to adjourn without passing the
