said, will bite greedy at the fist offer of the naked
hook, but our neighbor of tie Transcript cut
gudeeons the gudgeon, fol he bites before
the hook is presented, and is, consequently, tom
fooled, continually, by the ways who have taste
for such sport. On Saturday, for instance, he
announced, very seriously, "that old Wings,

which is sufficient refutation of it, with anybody
who is well versed in the politics of this vicinity,
we understand that nobody ever thought of such
thing, except the person who quizzed the dea-

PoLiTIcAL.-The Boston Adrertiser has an ar
teal upon the coming election in this State, from
which we make the following extract;
"Itis generally expected that in several dis

ever this is desired by any considerable number

same effect. With regard to Messrs. Burlington,
Gooch, Thsyer, and Dawes, we have heard no

they may be triumphsntly returned. We cordial

MISS BRAINERDs CONCERT, ToNIGHT.-It
must be remembered that tonight Miss Brain
erd's concert takes place. The prospect is, that
it will be very well attended. She will be assist
ed by Sig. Morino, distinguished vocalist, and
Mr.. Clare w. Beames, pianist and well known
composer. His popular "SIeighing Song" will
be sung by Miss Brainerd, this evening. Miss
Brainerd sings, also, "God save the Queen" and
"The tar-Spangled Banner" both in honor of
the great achievement of the nineteenth century,
together with several other classical and popular
soloes and DUETS. A splendid programme has
been prepared, and, we have said before, it will
be very fine concert. The only regrets after
wards will be from those who may not attend.

Miss BRATNERD's CoNoERT.-The following
article is from one whose musical criticisms have
been received with general favor BY the citizens
of Worcester:
with Miss Brainerd as vocalist, such assist
ance as Signor Morino, and such a conductor as
Clare W. Beames, our splendid Hall ought to
overflow tonight, especially when the very low
price Of the tickets is considered. The programme
is remarkably well chosen-Mozart, Weber, Ros-
SIM, Donizetti, Verdi, Kuchen, &c; tempting
array For popular things, the Sleighing Song
of Beames, Sweet Home, and the Cable version
of God Save the Queen. "a happy thought Of
Rev DR. Chapin's. We have had no concert so
attractive for many months and l am not sur
prised to hear that the audience will prob
ably be brilliant one. We owe it to the talent
ed performers, and to our fair fame as one of the
musical cities of New England, tn make the con
cert perfect successful the matter of an audi
ence, we mean, for, Of the perfect success of the
performers, there is not the shadow of a doubt.
1t is seldom that so fine an opportunity to hear
excellent music we'll performed, is offered.

MODERN DEMOCRACY When Mr.. Buchan-

expense OF the nation, in public vessel one
OF the Ell cetereS provided at the cost of the
people was band of Is pieces. 1t was well
asked what limit would there have been to
democratic indignation il J. @. Adams had
done such thing. In ST. Louis to carry on
the recent election, every Office holder was
assessed roundy; Russell & Majors, the bor-
der rufians who demanded and received of
Mr.. Buchanan heavy contract for supplies
to the Utah army, on the ground of their
losses IN getting up the siege of Lawrence and
other reasonable operations against the people
OF Kanzas, were assessed $4,000. They paid
1t at once Is it to be supposed that the ad-
ministratlon made with them an honest con-
tract if such assessments thereon are paid
without question The fact is that RESPONSE
BILE parties would have taken these contracts
for half the money, but they had never served
slavery, and were not deemed eligible.
One of our Maine exchanges relates a story
that has leaked out respecting the post. office
at Auburn. One Penley has recently been
appointed after smart competition, on condi-
ton of his paying 800 annually to the dem
ocratic committee of that region the net
proceeds of the Office are only $500 wear.
What state of things
Another phase of the policy of our so.cell-
ed democratic government is illustrated by the
fact that the ships of our navy are entirely
clothed with sails made of hemp duck of
Scotch or Russian manufacture, although the
cotton duck made in this country is on the
whole, decidedly superior to foreign hemp
duck, as is shown by the fact that for six or
eight years 'aH the vessels in our merchant
service and whale fisheries have u, ed it in
preference to the foreign article.-Lo,oeH Citi-

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT Explosion Of
Fta'd Lamp.-Last night the neighborhood of
Third and Poplar streets was thrown into an
excitement by the screams of a young girl,
aged fourteen years, daughter Of Mrs. Buck
Ingham, residing in that vicinity. 1t appears
as she and her mother were about retiring to
bed, the fluid lamp. in the hands of the daugh-
ter, exploded and set FIRE to her clothes. She
ran into the street, her clothing in a blaze, and
aroused the neighbors. One woman had
presence of mind enough to throw piece of
carpet out Of the window to two men, who
wrapped it around the girl and put out the
fame. Mr.. IL B. Brisben. druggist was
called to her assistance, but when he arrived
she was burned to crisp. There is little
hope of her recovery. The whole side Of the
lamp was blown out. The mother was in
jured in trying to save her child-Phiiade}-

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-Last Friday
afternoon, Mrs. Heard, wife of Gen. Nathan
Heard, returned home from a visit of several
days with her friends in the vicinity of Boston
She had with her little girl about twelve years
of age, who bad resided in the family for several
years. At the depot, Mrs. Heard sent the girl to
a neighbor's after the keys of the house, which
had been closed during their absence. After wait
ing at the house nearly an hour for her return,
Mrs. II. proceeded to the neighbours, and found
she had not been there. Inquiries were then
instituted for her, the police having had the
matter in hand, but as yet no trace of her has
been found, nor anything heard Of her since she
left the depot The case is singular and mystic
riOus one, and gives rise to very serious appre-
tensions

PURE BREAD.-Dr. Danglish, of Great NAL
vern, has patented an improvement in the pre-
paration of dough, from which is made an abso.
lutely pure bread, and the taste and flavor are
such as can scarcely be magined by those who
have not eaten it. The advantages of the pro.
cess are Il. There is saving of the whole of
the waste caused by fermentation, which avera-
ges fully ten per cent. Thus ten per cent more
bread is made out Of sack of -four than by the
old process. q The process, instead of occupy.
ing eight to ten hours, is completed in half an
hour. 3. The cost of machinery and gas is less
than that of yeast used in the old process. 4.
The dough requires scarcely any handling to
form it into loaves. s. The bread is absolutely
pure. 1t is simply -four, water, and salt. Final
~, should the whole of the bread in the kingdom
be thus made, saving would be effected of an
amount equal to our entire mportations of for.
eign wheal.-IliuStYated Inoentor
We presume that the whole secret of this in
vention consists in mixing muriatic acid end So
da in proper proportions in the dough. The eff
fervescence of the acid and alkali makes the
dough light, and the combination of them forms
muriate of soda, or pure salt, BY this process no
salt is required except what is produced by the
combination Spy

SOLD OUT.-We understand that Mr.. Sire
leigh has sold out his interest in the New

who has long been connected with the busl-
ness department OF the paper. The price was
thirty three thousand dollars, which sum pays
tor tenth interest in the paper, making the
value of the whole establishment 1880 900.
The profits eff the paper for the last six months
have been $50 900, which has been devoted
to the purchase of a new press, and the cree
ton OF the finest press room in this city. AS
matter Of course there have been no divi-
bends for about year, but previous to that

Col. BENTON ON THE LITTLE GIANT.-Col.
Benton, in conversing with friend many
months since, gave the following summary
view of the prospects of Mr.. Douglas
"The little giant" said he, sis in too great
hurry to be great man. He iorgets that
giants don't wear seven league boots now-a-
days, and that the first office in an elective
government cannot be taken by storm. His
ambition is much beyond his ability, for al
though a fluent speaker, his ideas don't bear
the proper proportion to his words, and, though
he runs fast he carries little weight. He
thinks he can bestride this continent with one
foot on the shores Of the Atlantic the other
on the Pacific. But he cant do it-he can't
do it, sir. His legs are too short"

Co1ToN PRosPEcTs. - Accounts from all
sections of the cotton-growIng region justify
the opinion that the growing crop of cotton
will be large one. II is true, complaints in
some places have swelled into apprehensions
OF a material reduction in the crop; but it is
natural for planters to fear, and upon the first
untavorable sign, to conclude that they are
to be ruined. The season, thus far has been
rather wet in many places, but with that
exception there has not probably been a more
favorable year for the growth and maturity
