..The shin John Rutledge from Liver.

........ The ship John Rutledge from Liver
pool for New York, on the 10th Of January ran
into an iceberg, and was SO much damaged as
to cause her TO be abandoned The passengers
and crew took to boats One of these boats,
which had contained thirteen souls, was picked
up on the 2eth by the ship Germania, (which
arrived at New York March 24,) with one
sailor alive. The rest had died of starvation
The four other boats had pulled for the Gulf
Stream. The ship John Rutledge had l2O
passengers, and a crew of 25 at the time of the
disaster. She was insured for $70,500, and
had cargo of 800 tons of merchandise, which
was probably insured in Europe.
.....A tax collector on Long Island invol-
unfairly robbed a lady of her valise last week.
He was riding along in buggy when he over
took, and acceded to request to take her as
passenger. Not liking her appearance ce-which
was decidedly masculine-he dropped glove,
and when she got out for it, drove off rapidly.
The lady fred pistol twice at him without
effect, and the valise was found to contain
pair of pistols and bowie knife!
...... Whether we shall have too much pork
for shilling this year, does not appear; but it
is stated by the Louisville and Cincinnati
papers that the number of hogs killed in the
former city exceeds the number of last year by
1886, while the increase in the cattle is 49,
6l0. There is also considerable increase in
the weight Of the animals slaughtered
CINCINNATI AND THE TOBACCO TRADE.-A
committee of the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce has made a report of much interest,
which has been adopted by the Chamber, on
the subject Of encouraging the establishment
of leaf tobacco market in Cincinnati. The
proximity of Cincinnati to the tobacco fields Of
Kentucky, leads the Cincinnatians to believe
that they can, by enterprise, secure the tobacco
trade which now centres at Louisville. To
this end the report adopted by the Chamber
recommends the erection of public tobacco
warehouse, to be owned and managed by a
joint stock company.
ADVICE TO BoYs.-You are made to be kind
and generous. Ifthere is boy at school who
has club foot, don't let him know you ever
saw it. If there is a boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk about rags in his hearing. If there
is a lame boy, assign to him some part of the
game which does not require running. If
there is a hungry one give him part of your
dinner. If there is a dull one help him get his
lessons. All the school will show by their
countenances how much better it is to have a
great soul then great fist.

neA- President Pierce is made the sub;ect ne
some very severe comments in the Washington
sentinel for the course he has pursued during
his administration, but not more caustic than
the offences justify. 1t is matter of history that
his unaccountable laundering with regard to
New York politics-hs uniform siding with the
Van Buren, partizans in opposition to such
national men as represent the true democracy
OF New York, have weakened the party here, as
also in every Northern and Western State, and
these facts are urged home with great power
and persistence by the Sentinel, as among the
reasons which should preclude renovation Of
the burthen as so much wrong to the democratic
party.-Rochester advocate.

LIE ThESlDENCY
1t is proper for us to remind
our readers that we have adopted
the policy of abstaining from all
discussion in the UNION OF the
relative claims of the several De-
mocrats whose names are spoken
of in connection with a Presiden-
tial nomination. We allude to our
policy on this subject that the nu-
merous friends who have address
ed to US communications advoca-
ting the nomination of different
gentlemen as candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President may un-
derstand why we have been una
able to insert their favors. When
the nominations are made we shall
be prepared to sustain them with
our best eXertions. Until that
time, the UNION will adhere to its
past course of strict neutrality as
to men, looking alone to the main
tenance OF the great Democratic
principles on which the next battle
is to be fought"

may be selected, requiring how
ever of them, that they shall be
true to the Constitution "'IN ALL

which protect our own property

sas- The Buffalo Express seems mora than
commonly exercised by the fact that Stephen
A. Douglass is still member of the United
States Senate. 1t calls him sIittle Douslass.n
and complains that he "is making himself con.
spicuous In his own peculiar way" as though
this was not custonarily the case with other
men. lie Is accused also of spluttering and
splurgiug in the Senate Chamber, and asserts
that IN the better days of the Republic. he
would never have been permitted to enter any
legislative body more respectable than Arkan
sas; that he has none of the Qualities of
statesman, aud so on, to the end of the chapter.
Now it is certainly possible that the people
OF lllinois-a large portion of whom are from
New England and States near them-are as
competent to determine the qualities of men as
this seliconstituted judge in the ranks Of the
Opaque Republicans. They have deemed Mr..
douglass competent to represent them in the
United States Senate, and no one but the most
biggotted OF the Republican saints will call his
ability IN question. In fact, it is this very
capacity to deal with the disunionists in the
senate, which throws upon him the abuse of
nePuoiican treasonsts. But these vipers gnaw
ME. Inc people OF Illinois will appreciate
the cause of the bilingsgate slang with which
their representative in the Senate is assailod
and take good care that it harms none bnt
those employing it. That State will see to it
that no Republican, of the modern stamp. gets
a senatorial endorsement from it; that no pre.
sidental candidate, tinged with the heresies of
that school of politicians, receives its vote.
Let the Express mark the prediction that
Illinois will go overwhelmingly against the
candidate OF its party at the next election, and
thus vindicate the man whom it assails in
terms so vulgar and full of malevolence.

MUGGINs ON POLITICS.

Muggins says that he never mixed in
politics but once. That was when he
run for the Assembly in the town of
Spodunk, of which lie was formerly a
tax payer, and an ornament. Muggins
had been laboring under the impression
that he was a tolerably correct and vir-
tuous young man, when it was suddenly
discovered by the opposite party that he
had a second wife living some where in
the West, had made several attempts to
burn his house down for the insurance,
had INDUCED in the practice of robbing
widows and orpahans on all possible &C.
c%asions, and was strongly suspected of
poisoning his own grandmother. If
Muggins had been running for the Peni-
tertiary, there is no doubt he would
have been elected. Suffice it to say, he
was defeated for the Legislature. Since
then he has had a profound disgust for
politics and politicians. Muggins is the
man that knocked down an individual, a
few weeks ago, for installing him for a
member of the Common Council.

D VS.. JOHN BULL.

A travelling gentleman, looking for
the house of an acquaintance in Dublin
inquired of a native born Irishman:
Who lives in the house over the

Patrick, but he don't live there now,
for he is dead, he is
'Ab how lorg has he been dead? p
And, your honor, if he had lived till
next Monday he would have been dead

walk and his inquiries, and seeing a very
large funeral procession, lie asked an
other native, whose funeral that was.

cannot say for s%artin, but I'm after
tbinkin, it's the mans IN tie co0fn.' a
That is very we'll for Patrick, but
