This reminds us of an anecdote related of
sheridan who went to hair dresser's to
order wig On being measured the bar
Der, who was a liberal soul, invited the or
Itor to take some refreshments in an inner
Dom. Here he showed 90 much genuine
hospitality that Sheridan's heart was touch
I'd.
When they rose from the table and we're
separating the latter looked the barber full
n the face, and said:
On reflection, don't intend that you shall
make my wlg.'
Astonished, and with blank visage, the
,ther exclaimed
Good Heavenl Mr.. Sheridan, how can
have displcased you ?
Why, look you, said Sheridan, you are
IN honest fellow; | repeat it, you shan
make the wig, for never intended to pay
or it. Ill 90 to another less worthy son of

Mr.. DoUoLAs AND THE SourH-The Wash
ngton correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Worth American says =
There ia quite enough in the past career
i Judge Douglas to give assurance now that
lis first move will be to conciiate the south,
nsm which, after long devotion, he has been
'artially alicnated. Perhaps positive, open
demonstration may be reserved until after
he election of United States Senator in Iii
,ois, but that it will be made in good time,
title reasonable doubt can be entertained
The day is not very distant when the pyedic
ion will become history His personal eff.
nrss in that direction, at the last session,
vere the subject Of much comment, being
quite as conspicuous as those of Mr. Seward,
who seized every opportunity that would be
tolerated to propitiate the men who were
the section and sentiment
against which his fiercest warfare was deyo-
ted The south has an account to settle |
With Judge Douglas-at least certain leaders
have, who do not mean to be overshadowed |
~ his larger proportions without resent |
nent Mr.. Breckenridge, and others, who
ave in qualified adhesion to him, did so
With the reservation that it was onlg for the |
contest as between Douglas and Lincoln,
md no mere. Mr. Hunter, Mr.. Davis, Mr..
Ioombs, Mr. Orr, Mr. Stephen, and Mr..
Fitzpatrick, will require him to face the mu-
ic before many months, and he cannot meet
heir requirements without losing northern
round. |. is said Mr. jefferson Davis has
one home for the express purpose Of open
ne the ball in speech which Judge Douglas
