A Protectordte for Mcrico.-A let
ter from Vera Cruz of late date says:
There is much talk, too, of an Amer
lean protcctorate. Indeed, that idea
appears to be gradually growing upon
the enlightened public mind.
The writer adds:
l close this hasty sketch of affairs
by giving it as my deliberate conviction
that this country will never have peace
without foreign intervention. If the
conservatives carry the day now, or a
patched up pacifcation be had, it
would be but to smother, for brief
space, fires that will be sure to burst
forth with renewed fury. In no case,
and under no government of their own
will there ever be anything like har-
mony. Mexico is too strong to be fill
clustered, so let us have that Ameri-
can protectorate.

A THRILLING SCENE.

The Cincinnati Inquirer tells the
following story which should warn all
to beware how they deal with careless
druggists.
A prescription was prepared the
other day, at a Main street apotheca-
rvs by an experienced clerk, for a
young lady residing on Fourth street,
and sent home. Some thirty minutes
after, the regular prescription clerk
called, and was putting up the bottles,
when he observed a jar of strychnine
in the place of some harmless prepara-
ton, and called attention to it. The
young man who had put up the mcdi-
cine turned pale as death when the
discovery was made, and said "Great
God, | have just sent that to Mr..
on Fourth street."
Not q moment was to be lost, and
indeed great probability was that the
poison had been already taken; but
the clerk, determined to make an effort,
seized his hat and rushed frantically
through the street, until he came to
the house, and without waiting to
ring the bell, ran up stairs, and asked
where Miss---'s room was, of a la
dy he met in the hall. She was alarm
ed at his manner; but as he told her
life and death depended upon his know.
ing Immediately, she pointed to the
door from which she had just issued.
He entered unbiddcn, and Just as the
young lady's mother was about to ad.
minister one of the powders, which was
prepared in q spoon, nearly at her
daughters lips.
"Ilold, for Gods sake, Madam
That poison Give it to your daugh-
ter, and you are her murderess!"
The wildncss of the clerks manner
frightened both ladies' the spoon fell
upon the bed, and the daughters al.
ready pallid cheek bleached until it
was colorloss as her night robe.
The druggist was thought to be in
sane, but few words of explanation
revealed all, and the tragedy was ex-
tingulshed in the light of joy at the
providontial escape.
The druggist returned, and relieved
the poor clerk from his awful suspense,
by telling him of the happy result of
his errand, when the clerk swooncd a.
way. This little sketch, though it
may seem dramatical, is simple trans.
crlpt of an occurrence that exposes
glimpse of the "inner life" of a drug
store.

King Charles the Simple and his fool

This good fellows influence was go
great, that Charles, King of France,
once remarked to him, he thought they
had better change places. As Jean
did not look well pleased at tho pro.
posal, Charles asked him if he we're not
content with the idea of being king.
'0h, content enough was the re.

EReso!utions passed and appro

EE Resolutions passed and approx.
ed by the "iStraight Out" Democrats, al
their meeting at the Court House:
RESOLVED, The the Democratic party is a
party Of pure principles. of broad, com
prehensive, stateman-like policy, and of a
and honorable future that its success in
the past has been due to the unfaltering fl
deity to principle, and the unfinching ad-
herence to party nomination and party
usages, which have been characteristic OF
Democrats since the days of jefferson and
that if We desire to give effect to Democrat
ic principles by securing the success of those
pledged to sustain them, we must follow in
| the footsteps of the great fathers of the par
ty, avoiding all en,angling alliances with
political adversaries. all barters, trades and
jobs with mercenary and treacherous pOliti-
cal foes.
Resolved, That the reason given by prom
inent professed Democrats for declining to
make a Democratic nomination, and for
supporting Ashael H. Bennett for District
Judge to wit: that they are thereby throw
ing fire brand into the republican party,
We denounced as trihing. disingenous and
absurd, unworthy honorable men, and dis
graceful to leader of great political body !;
and then in the judgement of this meeting,
politicians who are governed by such shall
low and contemplate notions of party man
agement and political tactics, though they
might be useful as camp followers are ut
terly unfit to command
Resolped, That we cannot and will not
sustain for the responsible Office of District
Judge one whose principal claim to Demo
crat support is, that he is "a fire brand in
the Republican party" one who sends his
name before fair convention of his party,
and when defeated, dishonorably bolts the
regular nomination, who caters for the
votes of . party which he has assailed with
all the bitterness Of bitter nature for more
than quarter of a century, who is. in q
word. the antipodes of everything demo
cratic
RESOLVED, That although we have been
unceasing in our advocacy Of the nomina-
tion of a Democratic candidate for District
Judge, we are now satisfied that it is too
late to place . Democrat nominee in the
field, and we are therefore compelled to
choose between John F. Dillon aud Ashael
H. Beunett; and has the Central Commit
tee has expressed its preference we feel it
our duty to express ours. and we deliber-
ately declare that as between the two can
didates before the people. John F. Dillon is
our first and only choice; that in every
quality which goes to constituted an able
and upright Judge, he is far the superior Of
Bennett; for twenty years q resident Of this
county, educated 10 one midst. for a wider
experience than any other practicing lawyer
at our bar, of abilities and learning univer-
sally conceded, of . character above re-
proach or suspicion, of manners genial, yet
dignified, he is above all men of his party,
admirably fitted for the bench; and we
therefore pledge him our hearty, enthusi-
astic and undivided support
