WHAT THE DEMOCRACY HAVE BERN DoING.-
Hon. Jas. L. Orr, Democratic Speaker at the
present time of the U. S. H. of s., wrote
letter few years since to the Nullliers Of
South Carolina, urging them to unite cordial,
ly with the Democracy. AS an inducement
he stated what had been done by the North
ern Democrats, since the year 1913, from
which we quote the following
"Since then the Northern democrats aided
US to bring into the Union, Texas, magnh-
cent slaveholding Terrtory-large enough 10
make four Slave States, and strengthened us
more in that pecul ar interest, than was ever
before done by any single act OF the Federal

1898, and has given US a law for the recovery
of our fugitive slaves, as stringent as TIC m
they have reduced the odious tariff of 1912,
and fixed the principle of imposts on the
revenue, not the protective basis. Since then
they have actually repealed the Missouri Re-

LIFE WITHOUT LovE.-We sometimes meet
with men who seem to think that any indul-
gence in attectionate feeling is weakness.
They will return from journey, and greet
their families with a distant dignity, and move
among their children with the cold and lofty
splendor Of an iceberg surrounded by its brok-
en- fragments. There is hardly more un-
natural sight earth than one of those
families without heart. A father had better
extinguish boys eyes than take away his
heart. Who that has experienced the jugs of
tnendshlp and values sympathy and affection,
would not rather loae all that is beautiful in
natures scenery than be robbed Of the hid
den treasure of his heart. Cherish, then,
yoar hearts best affections Indulge in the
warm and gushing emotions Of filial, pater-
nal, and fraternal love.-Mulock.

The HAG.-Among the earthilagan fish
there is one known as the bag, which is pos
sessed of a very remarkable mode of escaping
its enemies; by creating vacuum with its
lips, it adheres with such tenacity to fishes
that they cannot shake it of-like the leech,
it lacerates with its teeth, and draws the life
blood from the object of attack Thus fixed,
it offers tempting bait, and might readily
become an easy prey were it not that Prov-
dence has afforded it means of escape of
remarkable character. When danger ap-
proaches, the bag emits species of excrement
of Shiny nature, which surrounds and con-
ceals it from view. This matter is so album
dant that he can continue to emit until a
large tub of water Is Thoroughly imbued, and
after a short time it assumes the transparency
Of glue. and may be drawn into long threads
This fish has neither ventral nor pectoral fms
and its body appears devoid of head, termi-
mating in circular thick lip.

Uertiser, from Professor Bond of Harvard Uni

"Donati's Comet will, in few days, appear to

nearest the earth on the 9th Of October, al which
time its briliancy will be nearly three times as
great as on the 23d Of Sept ember, and its distance
from us about 81 100000 miles,
According to Mr.. Halls computation, the tail
of this conner, or the 23d inst extended to the
length of 10 600 600 miles. The nucleus will be
near the bright star Arcturus Oct. 5, and nearest
the eaIth's orbit on the 10Th.
Some confusion seems to prevail in regard to
there being two comets, similar in appearance,
now visible to the naked eye, but such is not the
case Donati's, which is seen in the Northwest
after sunset, is the same which has been seen in
the Northeast before sunrise in the morning.
This is owing to the considerable Northern de.

differing but little from that of the sun / men.
