A chatty female correspondent Of the
Boston Post has the following lively des-
cription Of Messrs Douglas and Davis, Of
the Senate
Judge Douglas is man one cannot
avoid noticing on such occasions. When
NOT IN debate, he looks, as it seems to me,
fairer and plumpar than before his mars
riage. Perhaps be lives more methodical-
ly. did not recognize him without my
lorgnette. But In the excitement OF
controversy, shaking his heavy head for
emphasis, with large plume Of bushy
hair waving and nodding over his f0Fe-
head, rapidly cutting and twisting with
his hand, working himself to perspira-
ton, and his eyes flashing, the old Dou-
glas of the Nebraska bill reappears. He
is very restless man. He comes IN,
drops into his seat, pulls paper out of
his pocket, reads three lines, forces his
last cigar on Gwin, who is going out to
smoke, crosses oTer to Benjamin and gets
another from him, which he twists IN his
mouth and ehews, offers his right hand TO
Hale and his left to Pugh, leans Familiarity
an Jones' shoulder, and strokes that sex
agenerian Senator's beard, with gentle
witticilm, drops into the lobby moment,
and then into his seat, to read three more
lines of another newspaper.
Jefferson Davis has strange fascina-
tipn In has tone. He is a slender man,
somewhat STOPPING, and not personally
prepossessing. Yet everybody listens tC
him. If a sweet voice is a beautiful
thing in woman, know that to us there
are few charms like mild, firm, gently
modulated voice IN a man. Sach is Mr.
Davis He speaks readily, Pointedly, anC
with that precision of enunciatiOn which
marks scholar With nothing In hi
mien of namby-pamby or affected, yol
see that he is a refined gentleman. The
say that he is a fre-eater. If so, know
he eats It a Ia mode, with a fork and ;
napkin.

An old woman who lived near the from
tier during the last war with Great Brit
ain, and possessed marvellous propensi-
ty to learn the news, used frequently to
make inquiries of the soldiers. On one
occasion, she called to one of those defen-
ders Of our rights whom she had frequent
ly saluted before:
What's the news 2"
Why, good woman, y says he, "the In
dians have fixed a croW-bar under Lake
Erie, and are gong to turn il over and

"Oh, mercy! what shall / dog" and
away she ran to tell her neighbors Of the
danger, and inquire of the minister how
the danger might be averted.
Why" SAID he, you need not be
alarmed-we have our Makers promise
that heiWill not again destroy the earth
by water. !"

Origin Of Odd FeIIOKs.

1t has been supposed that the origin Of
Odd Fellows-or rather the organization
was of comparatively modern date.
They will be surprised, however, says the
Cincinnati Times, 'tto learn that It's origin
dates as far back as the time of Nero,
and was established by the Roman sol
diers In the year 55. AT that time they
were called Fellow Citizens The pre-
sent name was given by Titus Cesar,
twenty-fuur years afterwards; and they
were so called from the singular charac-
ter of their meetings and from their
knowing each other by night or day by
means Of mystical signs and language
At the same time he presented them with
dispensation, engraved on a plate of
gold bearing different emblems of morta-
lity. In the fifth century the order was
established In the Spanish dominions, and
In Portugal in the sixth century 1t did
not reach France nor England until the
eleventh century. 1t was then establish
ed in the latter country by John De Ne
vile, who, assisted by five knights from
France, formed a grand lodge in London
This ancient fraternity has now lodges IL
every quarter of the globe, and, by its
usefulness and benevolent character, com.
mands the respect and countenance of al
who are acquainted with Its nature anC
purposes. +" Those upon whose informa
ton reliance may be placed, give credit Il

A Gallant Democrat.

When the Indiana democratic State
convention, held the other day at Indian
apoiis, had, through the packing process
of Messrs. Bright and Fitch, passed reso-

moment when 1t seemed that the eonyen-

ing that doctrine Mr.. Aquilla Jones, the
present democratic State Treasurer, who
had been renominated by this convention,

Cure for Stammering.

A writer says that at every syllable
pronounced, tap at the same time with the
finger. BY so doing the most inyeterate
stammerer will be surprised to find he
can pronounce quite huently, and by long
practice he will pronounce quite perfect
ly. This may be explained IN two ways,
either by sympathetic instantaneous ac-
ton of the nerves Of voluntary motion in
the finger, and IN those of the tongue,
which IS the most probable, or may be the
movement of the finger distracts the at
tentiou Of the individual from his speech,
and allows of free action of the nerves
concerned In articulation.
