tor Seward, at Rochester. Mr. Seward, very
consistently with himself, denounces the demo-
cratic party as "the great ally Of the slave
power" and says that democratic administra-
tons merely record the behests" of the
slave power. And yet neither Mr. Seward
nor any other orator or organ of his anti-slayery
party, has denounced more bitterly the present
democratic administration than does Governor
Wise in this ferocious and crazy Douglas mani
festo. How, then, are we To account for this ex-
traordinary coalition against the administration
without and within the democratic camp, North
and South, except upon the theory that the de-
struction of the administration is the primary OBJ
jet and The common purpose Of all concerned
fre-caters and dirt-eaters aboltionists and Sc
cessionists, anti-slayery and pro-slayery dema-
gogues and disorganizers of high and low de-
gree and of all sections and factions
If we may Judge. however, from the teachings
of thu past in reference to factious and aspiring
deseriers from the administration, we may safely
admouish the present democratic sympathizers
with the cause Of Douglas, and especially those
boisterous and treacherous tire-eating politicians
Of the South, such as Wise, Toombs and Stephens,
that in the end they will fall short Of their pre-
sent calculations, and that the administration as
it has proved to be, will still prove itself more
than match for them all

met with the braves and talked big words to
them. In other words, there was an admins
tration meeting at Tammany to endorse the State
and county ticket, and none of the administration
place holders appeared to take part III the pro-
ceedings. Why? Somebody says they have all
gone to Illinois. What are they doing in the
"West-nor-west," when they should be serving
their party in the East!

TIE OVERLAND MAu.-N has now been shown
that the contractors for the Overland Mail to
the Pacific have on their part fulfilled their con-
tract to the letter. Everything on their part
shows that they are thoroughly organized for the
service, and thus far no obstacles but those ma
turai to the route have been met with, and these
have been completely surmounted
But there is possible difficulty yet to over
come. There are tribes of Indians whose hostili-
ty MAJ set be encountered, and which will
leopard its safety and usefulness. 1t is the
opinion Of al parties interested in the matter
that the government should give ample protec-
ton 70 the company, not only from sense of
public duty but to give assurance to the settlers,
TO whom President Buchanan alluded in his
reply to the agent of The company, that they
will not be left without support as they advance
along the line to make permanent improve

A Dad SHow.-We are sorry to see the indie
pendent straight oat American party Of this
State dropping to pieces on the eve of the battle,
and in many cases Internationally surrendering
to the republicans. But the American organ at
Albany, perhaps, explains the cause of this
lamentable disintcgration in the following dis
closures: 1t says that the republicans have an
electioneering corruption fund of s25o,oO0; that
the democrats have corruption fund "quite as
large as that of the republicans" but that " the
Americans have only ''the sanctity Of their cause
and the purity and fitness of their candidates
They can neither buy venal presses nor employ
mouthing orators to stump the State" That
will do We need no further explanation. The
party has no funds, and it is fizzling out.

PLANTING PoTAToEs.-They say abroad that
the secret of getting potatoes ripe in August
that will keep all winter, is ssto set them well
sprouted. There is no occasion to put them
in early. The month of August is the critical
time for the winter potato. But by sprouting
the tuber before setting, you obtain nearly a
months advantage, SO that when the disease
does come, the plant is in a stronger state than
it would otherwise be, and is thereby enabled
to repel the attacks The author who thus
writes in the Royal Agricultural Society s
Journal, is the Rev. E. F. Manly, and there
may be something in his remarks.-HorticuI-

THE. UNCERTAINTIES OF HIsToRY.-During
the confinement of Marie Antoinette, the
Queen of France, by tho Jacobins OF Paris,
she was deprived of the use of the cosmetics
with which she was wont to give the raven
hue to her naturally silvery locks /; and history,
in describing her execution, represents her
hair as changing from jet black to gray col
or through the mental anguish she experien-
ced. The assassin Orsini, lately executed in
Paris for attempting the life of the French
Emperor, and ruthlessly numbering twelve in
nocent persons, presented the same apparent
ly strange anomaly from the same cause
When Orsini was arrested, his luxuriant locks
were as black as night, but when guillotined,
they were of an iron gray color, simply be-
cause he either neglected his toilet, or else
was deprived of the usual hair dye he preyi
ously employed to give them their black col
or. His friends, and the papers generally,
attribute the change to another cause, of
course, and We have no doubt that history
will represent the effect as being produced by
the mental activity and agony he experienced
during his inc3rceration.

HARD TIMES.

Let US pause in Lifes pleasures and count its ma
ny tears.
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that viii linger forever in our cars
foh, Hard Times come again more.
lis the song the sigh of the weary;
Hard times, hard times, come again no more !;
MANY days you have fingered around the cab
in door
Oh, Hard Times come again no moro.
While seek mirth and beauty and music light
and gay,
There frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices silent their pleading looks
would say,
Oh, Hard Times come again no more.
'Tis the song, &c.
There's pale dropping maiden, who works her
life away,
With worn heart whose better days are o'er;
Though her heart would be merry, It's signing all
the day:
Oh, Hard Times come again more.
'Tis the song, &c.
'Tis sigh that is waited the troubled
'Tis wall that is heard along the shore;
'Tis a dirgo that is murmured around the lowly
grave;
Oh, Hard Times come again no more,
'Tis the song, the sigh, &c.

wonderful than that-she has been known to

she is nourished by the atmosphere, her vital

to that of toad imbedded in q rock.

THE PLEA OF 1SsANTY.-A negro I'm Lou
isviIlc broke open box belonging to a COM
rade, containing three silver dollars, and
stole one of the pieces. Having been arraign-
ed for the theft, the usual plea of insanity was
urged, the counsel declaring that no sane man
would take one and leave two dollars behind.
WhereupOn the cuffee who was robbed, ex-
claimed with great emphasis: ssMassa, 1 tell
you dat niger amt crazy he broke my box
open and took de dollar out. Now, if he had
broke de box open and put dollar in, den
I'd say he's crazy" His argument was con-
elusive, and the thief was sent up.

AIR BLADDERs.-Fish possess the power OF
rising or sinking, by means of an air bladder; I;
wban distended with air, the fish is buoyed up,
I'D ,omains on the surface of the water with
out any effort of its own. On COMPRISING
the bladder by the action of the surrounding
muscles, the included air is condensed and
tbe fish sinks to the bottom. On relaxing the
same muscles, the air RECEIVERS Its former
dimensions, and the fish is again rendered
buoyant.
