A Kiss THAT sD1DS'T PAY.-The To-
ledo Record getsloff good story in re-
gard to citizenlof Iowa, whose wife. in
his absence, had been kissed by drover.
while giving glass of water. When he
heard of the outrage he started at once
in pursuit, found the drover after hard
days ride, and accused him of the theft.
The drover admitted the truth of the
soft impeachment---said he had been
long time from home, was sorely tempt
ed. and in an unguarded moment Of
frenzy purloined a kiss. but that he had
not damaged the woman in the smallest
particular-was very sorry-thought it
was no matter to a,nke a great ado about.
and therefore begged to po' o'eesxsdsed.
The husband finally concluded that
this was the right view Of the matter,
and agreed to setde it upon the receipt Of
S5 for his days ride This being salts
factory, the drover handed over $40
bill and received S5 in change. But
when the aggrieved Benedict returned
home and consulted his detec.or, he
found the bill counterfeit He found he
had suffered the lndlgnity of having his
wife kissed by a nasty drover," passed
one day in the saddle, and lost FIVE dol
lars, and concluded that it didn't pay.

The labored article Of the Times, writ
ten to prove that the South derives no
advantages from its negro representation,
is more ingenious than correct. Its as
sumption that each negro in the North
is equivalent in the census returns to a
white man. and that -fye negroes are on
ly equivalent to three white men IN the
South is admitted to .be true but as
there happens to be more free negroes tn
tie South, who are counted as white
men, than there are IN the North, saying
nothing of slaves, we take it that the
Times, by its own showing, is willing TO
admit that " advantages" follow the ma
jority. For the enlightenment of that
sagacious print, we have compiled from
the census of 1850, the following fig
ures
Free negroes in the free States .. .l96, ,30s
Free negroes in the slave States -. 22e, ,l2S
Majority in the Sbuth 81 $40
Here, then, the South has all the adyan-
tages of a numefical superiority of free
men of color, II say nothing of millions
of slaves, every five Of whom are equiva-
lent to three white voters, in spite Of
the Dred Scott decision, which reduces
them to the condition of beasts, with
out rights which the white man is bound
to respect" TIE Times must try again.

A very exciting case of balloon ascen-
sion occurred a few days ago, near Cen
tralia, III. A young man who is in COM
pany with the Eronaut, G. w. Brooks,
ascended in the balloon and alighted
some twenty miles from the starting
point, near a farm house on the prairie.
The inhabitants of the house were aston
ished to see him, and wondered much at
his balloon. He, to amuse and please
the children, allowed two of them to go
into the car attached to the balloon, aud
let them rise little in the air, while he
held on to the rope of the anchor. The
rope. by accident, slipped out of his
hands, and the balloon, with the two chill
dren, shot up like a rocket into the sky.
Upon seeing this, the parents became
almost distracted. but, in the course Of
some hours, the children and the balloon
descended, and it was found that the
children were both safe, and one Of them
was asleep.

JoHs C. BApHAx, EsQ-We are glad to see that
this talented and sterling democrat and accomplish
ed gentleman has been again nominated by the De.
mocracy of Chowan for a seat in the House of Com

ature for two consecutive sessions and his constitu
ents have justly awarded him the commentator of
faithful, dilgent, and able guardian of their rights
and interests.
Among his fellow members he was popular, and
welded an influence by means inconsiderable.
The Democrats of Chowan have exhibited their usu.
al sagacity and good sense in once more selecting
Mr.. Badman their standard bearer, and we do
not entertain the slightest doubt Of his triumphant
election. Indeed, We look for considerable swell
in the majority. We know well the spirit of the
indomitable Democracy of old Chowan; and with
the gallant billiard in the field for the Senate, and
Badham for the House, what may they not accom-
plsh Only few years back and Chowan ranged
under the Wing banner; now she gives from fifty
to sixty Democratic majority and it will not surprise
us il it should be 100 in August.

schat yaa do for the worthy of your choice.
