"The great body Of the Democracy o.
the northwestcrn States regard Mr. Doug
las as sound Democrat. They have
seen nothing in his public course upon
the Kansas question to cause them to
withdraw their confidence from him as
one of the most able and reliable Of the
party chiefs. - Ohio Statesman.
And yet the English bill which you
apologize for, indeed, defend and sup
port, crushed your favorite, Douglas, and
was SO designed at its inception and
the Doug las camp was entered to hunt Out
the men, who like Judas went to betray
their leader. douglas IS regarded as a
sound Democrat" and for his soundness
you see him slain, his memory desecrated,
and you are in the ranks Of those who
are rejoicing over his ruin.
Speaking Of the efforts Of the admins
tration to break Douglas down in his
struggle for reelection to the Senate, the
Statesman says:
"There are hundreds and thousands of
Democrats without whose votes the
Ch ricston nominee will be beaten in
1860, who will not submit to this. Cut
him off and cut the mass Of the people off
for his action has been their action; and
they can afford to be cut a great deal bet
ter than any political org" nixation can af-
ford to cut them. Ifthe Lccompton the
ory is to be set up as test Of Democracy,
the party has elected its last President.
Look at it! Mr.. Toombs, Mr.. Stephens
and Mr.. Clingman have all voted against
the measures Of the administration time
and again"
Where are the hundreds and thousands
that will not submit? The delegation in
Congress from Ohio, that started with
Douglas, have submitted to cold and de-
liberate sacrifice of their man and their
principles, in the vote on the English Bill;
nay. they did the thing with their own
guilty hands! Are these to be included
in the NoN-sUBMITTING thousand? Where
are the loudmouth presses Of Ohio, that
hailed for Douglas at the onset? Just
like the Statesman, with rare exceptions;
they are throwing off praises of the En-
glsh Bill, in every line Of which is poi
scned arrow for the heart Of Douglas.
Douglas was right, and yet because he
was right, he was Mrotled, and now you
think the throttling right also, and are
drinking bumpers and shouting victory
with his desiroyers! Douglas may well
exclaim--"Save me from my friends.

The VERY LATEST YET.-During the
summer Of '4G. says the Knickerbocker,
corn being scarce in the upper country, ,and
one of the citizens being hard pressed for
bread, having worn threadbaie the hos
pitality Of his generous neighbors by his
extreme laziness, they thought it an act
of charity to bury him. Accordingly, he
was carried towards the place of inter-
ment, and being met by one Of the citi-
zens, the following conversation took
place: ,.....t3 --...aq sv.p.is
"Halloo! what have you thers?" ,
"Poor old Mr.. S." 'a4p3
"What are you going to do with him?"
"Bury him." e7@
"What! is he dead? I hadn't heard of
his death" .sess II
"No, he is not dead, but he might as
well be, for he has no corn and he is too
lazy to work for any,"
"This is too cruel for civilized people.
III give two bushels of corn myself rath-
er than see him buried alive" = I !
Mr.. s. raised the cover, and asked in
his dragging tone. els it s-h-e-ll-e-d?"
"No, but you can soon shell it.

The boy that was brought before the

would only 60 once, just to say that he
had been to the theatre. But he got
a-going and couldn't stop. lie has used
up his wages. and he wants more money.
He cannot resist the temptation when he
knows there is money in the drawer. He
got a-going--he will stop in the State

Hark! do you hear that horrid oath?
1t comes from the mouth Of little boy

Tho Roscoe Calamity---Mr. Ilsey's State
meht,

ments
We have already narrated the circum-
stances attending the death of mother
and eight children, by the recent flood in
Northern Illinois. The following state
ment from the sole survivor Of the fam
lily, possesses melancholy interest:
'.The rain commenced to fall about 8
o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and in
creased in force until about 10. At 0
o'clock the water was up around the house
rushing by with great force. Mr.. I. pro-
posed to his family to leave the house, but
as men who were in the neigbborhood
had told them that they had seen tho wa
ter higher than it was now, they conclu-
dcd not to go out. t, vfaat
"At about II O'Clock, Messrs. Thomp-
son and Lane and Towers got up to the
house, and told them they thought there
was no danger, as the water had lower
ed. Mr.. llsley went to the door and
measured the height Of the water, and
found it had fallen four or five inches.-
Having concluded to remain in the house,
the five younger children were sent to
bed, and shortly after the balance Of the
family met in the lower room and had
prayers, preparatory to retiring also. The
other children then went up stairs, and
Mr.. Ilsley proposed to his wife to remain
up short time longer. This must have
been about II or III o'clock.
sJust after the three children, had gone
up, there was great rush Of water past
the house, and Mr.. |. went to the hall
door with lantern and looked out. He
found the water rushing by with tremen-
dous force on all sides Of him and coming
in at the door. lie called loudly for help
several times, but the water was too deep,
and rushing with such tremendous force
that no one could get TO. the ill-fated
house.
"Mrs. Ilsley called TO Horatio, the ell
dest son and ran up stairs Immediately.
She then called to her husband to come
up, which he did, aud opening one Of the
windows again screamed for help, but in
vain. At this time he was just coming
out Of his study, and was standing in the
entry, when he heard the children cry out
"Father, Father" and ut the same time
saw one end of the house fall out with
crash. He then felt the whole house
swaying up and down like u boat OIL the
waves, and then il fell into ruins.
"Just us it fell he heard his wife scream
and that was the last he heard or saw of
his family. He Immediately found him
self in the water, not knowing how he got
there, and with no power to help himself,
was tossed about and hurried along with
great velocity TO the river"

MILK WAsTtNa FROM THE TEATs OF
Cows.--Your correspondent, P. McC.,
inquiries for remedy. Let him get from
the druggist small quantity Of Collodin,
or "liquid cuticle," and when the COW has
been MIXED, apply it to the ends Of the
teats. 1t instantly will form thin tough
skin, which will close the orifce, and pre-
vent the emission of the milk. At milk
ing time the false skin can bo broken
through, and the cow milked, and the
Collodion again applied. In week or
ten days there will be no necessity for
further application, as the defect will be
cured.-D. L. Adair, in Country Gentle

The FAMILY CIRoLR.--Thc Baltimore
Sun in alluding to tho prevalence Of crime
among boys, very properly asserts that
one Of the main cause of the decline Of
morality is the decay Of parental discipline,
The family circle, the domestic hearth is
the true fountain Of purity or corruption
to public morals. Most people become
what they are made at home. They 60
forth into the world, to act out the char
acter they have formed in the first four.
teen years Of their lives. 1t is alleged, in
excnse, that children have become more
unmanageable than they used to be? We
reply, that human nature and human re-
lations are unchanged.
Children are just as amendablc TO au.
thority as they ever were. This is the
main purpose for which Providence has
made them helpless and dependent, that
they may be trained to obedience, to- or
der, to industry, to virtue. 1t is not true
that parents have not as absolute control
over their children as they ever had.-
When there is dependence obedience may
be enforced. The real fact is, that par ents
are too indulgent, too negligent, too in
different to take the pains to train up their
children in the way they should go. 1t
requires perpetual vigilance, and they
get tired. Itrequires selfcontrol to ex-
ercisc proper authority over others
Sclfconquest is the greatest victory Of all.
There can be no just parental discipline
when there is no character to back it.
