trade. Does Douglas believe an eff ,rt to re-

Of eyes that flashed luril fire as he made his

helpless whine of despair and sense of

he, the hitherto untamable steed of the
desert, has at length found firm although
gentle master. Now We must confess that
when we heard that Mr. Rarey
was going to introduce zebra

that something like theatrical coup wa
contemplated, and that some venerable
woolly horse who had perhaps graduated
in u circus, was about to be introduced for
the sake OF novel y and attraction. But
all suspicion Of that sort was dispcllcd
when we saw that Wild ferocious animal,
so beautiful and yet so terrible in its

INDIA RUBBER DEMOCRACY.

The Vermont Autograph and Remarker
discourses as follows on the plant and servile
democracy of the present day
Facts developed by the language andaction
of the President, Congress and the Federal
Judiciary demonstrate that the article dubbed
Democracy in these days has by dint of much
handling. acquired the expansive quality of
India rubber, capable of being stretched TO
accommodate any ambitious design that self

Jeifersonian Democracy in the days oftheelder
Adams and later, was very jealous of the
power and patronage of the Federal Govern
ment, least it incroach on peoples rights,
and more especially ly on the rights of the states,
and was disposed to check and eschew slavery.
But those democrats were old fogies compar-
ed with modern democrats. For these have
made the discovery that the voice of the pea
pie of territory is OF no account, ii it be
| likely to stand in the way of the aspirations
of slaveholding interest outside. 1t has been
discovered that none but white folks have
any right as citizens in any of these States,
that none but these have any right to escape
from oppression and be protected us refugees
among us. 1t has been discovered by
modern democracy that if the slave driving
interest is not likely to be advanced by allow
ing fair legal voting in territory, it may
compass it by violence and fraud, driving
away free-state men by armed forces, by
stufing ballet boxes, or forging false returns
And finally, it has come to be decided b,
modern administration democracy, to th
confusion of all the old Whig patriots VIII

THE WORLD AMAZED!
ALL ATIONS NKFU

ALL ATIONS HANKFUL.
The shallow proverb, " Familiarity breeds
contempt" has q very limited application.
Familiarity with that which is admirable,
useful and benefcent, breeds respect, graft
tude and enthusiasm. 1t has been thus with
Holloway's inestimable Pills. The more
thoroughly we become acquainted with their
wonderful properties, the more we see of their
operation in the most desperate cases, the
more deeply sensible do we become of the
value to humanity OF medical discoverer
like Professor Holloway In this country,
where we are quick to perceive and prompt
to admit the claims of greatness in every de-
partment of art or science, his popularity is
| boundless, and the demand for his remedies
might be called furore, if it were not found
ed on the solid basis of experience. In the
seasons when dysentery and diarrhna prevail,
the population of whole districts in the South
and West refuse to take any other preparation
than the Pills. The resident physicians re-
monstrate with them in vain. 1t is useless
to tell the tick, who are daily recovering
strength, appetite, health and cheerfulness,
by the use OF this omnpotent medicine, that
it is an empirical invention. Their every
organ, muscle, nerve and fibre, unite in Civ
ing the lie to the assertion. 1t is the same
with dyspepsia, liver complaint, and in fact
all internal maladies, without exception.
Under such circumstances, can it be sur.
prising that the name Of Holloway is endeared
to the American people? Many maladies
deemed incurable before the introduction o.
the Pills, now create neither fear noranxiety
1t is generally understood that the subjuga'
ton Of these com plants by course Of thu
medicine is an easy task; that the suflerel
wo relies upon any other preparation
patent or prescribed, is literally scranlblin!
Tor life in the dark and that he Or she whit
perishes under the false treatment of tn
faculty, "dies as the fool dieth."
We do not stand alone in our appreciation
of the vitalizing and restorative qualities c
the Pills. Almost every exchange paper W
: open contains some anecdote of their triumph
over disease, or of the uplifting of som
S debilitated and hopeless invalid from tn
. lowest depths OF physical weakness an
:, mental dependency, by their aid. No otht
advertised medicines have ever commando

. remedies. Papers and periodicals too trigi'
ly oristocratic even to publish the adrertis
Il naents of the ordinary nostrums of the ia,
c have earnestly commended the Pills to II
r. confidence OF the afflicted. Nothing b.
n great facts, too widely known to be dispute
= could have forced the accredited organs Of d
- faculty to bow to this mighty innoyator, tt
J Caesar of the world of medicine, and hispee
less curatives. But even these have succui

Raise high, in praise, caoh graf cful voice;
Let friend and Brother loud rejoice;
For God our Father, grants Ills aid
In Frightening day, in evening shade.
Though artful foes in bands unite,
Or hopes destroy, or fears incite,

When storms arise, when tempests roll.
Thou, in heaven, indulgent, kind,
Make US to each event resigned;
Direct each purpose Of the heart,
Though hope, and friends, and life depart.

With grateful hearts we humbly bend;

For all the joys to thee we owe.

possible. II lump oisugar is wctted with

to remain from two to five minutes. take out

add enough of the syrup to fill the spaces

probable that strdwblrries may be preserved
in this way in the most desirable condition -
1t is suggested that still better way of pre-
paring the strawberries for sealing will be to
put with them as much sugar as desirable,
throw them into the vessel, after stan ing an
