good Democrat, and personal friend Of Mr..
Buchanan, writes as follows to the Indianapolis
Journal
That fool, "Foley," if he ever wants to rite
another letter. to make me his distribitin office,
and I'll transcrbe his letters, and correct the
spelin, and put the matter into form for him.
Sich rten and spellin is a material shame haint
never felt so bad since my boss died as did
when seed that letter. It's not only disgrace
to that "punkin head" himself, but to the
whole Dimocratic party.
QUITE FLARE UP IN 'HIGH LIFE."-A young
lady now on visit to st. Louis, lin company
with her mother) stopping at the house of one
of our prominent citizens, received an invitation
to attend party lately at the mansion OF one
of the elite OF our city. The story runs that she
is engaged to young gentleman well known
hereabouts, but received information from him
that he could not attend, owing to general indis.
position. Whereupon the young lady accepted
the company of gentleman, also well known
and millionaire, but instead OF going to the
party, proceeded to one of our prominent hotels
where the arstocratc couple engaged private
rooms, and until in the neghborhood of day
light, were excluded from the vulgar eye. 1t
appears that the young gentleman to whom the
lady was engaged recovered sufficiently to just
ify visit to the party, and seized by that insa-
table desire so common with lovers, to be in
the Immediate vicinity of the beloved one de-
ternined to attend the party. The night was
by no means pleasant, the party was afsr off
but 60 he must, and 60 he did. Upon his arri-
val he was as,onished and annoyed not to find
his affanced present. For her be had annihila.
ted space and bTaved the elements. In quit
ting the sck-room he had jeopardized his life,
but he was Immediately comiorted by the assn
rance which bis own imagination suggested that
his beloved, true to the promptings OF her own
generous heart had declined to engage in the
gay and festive scene, while her intended lay
stretched upon the bed of sickness and of
pain.
But murder will out. On the morrow the in
tended bride groom was informed, by perfect
| ly responsible party, of the whereabouts of the
young lady, and in frame of mind not quite %
calm as summers day, he proceeded at once
to the residence Of the aforesaid citizen, where
the young lady was staying. How did you en-
joy the party.' quoth he; learn you had a
very joyful time. 'Oh, quite So was the res
ponse | never enjoyed myself so much in my
life. We had noble time, and everybody
was sorry when it broke up An! 80 / am
told. As for myself was there, and much
chagrined at not seeing you. l was told you
had not been there during the evening and Tad
partially made up my mind to visit Hotel,
but fearing might possibly interfere with your
private arrangements, / concluded to await my
time.'
The young lady did not hear the completion
| of the senteRce. She had tainted, and the
young man thought proper to arouse the family.
Before any explanations could be given he
found himself rather rudely introduced to the
sidewalk. The sequel is yet to be learned.-St
Lous Democrat.

down. Of more being 10 the same az. Passen-
gers, however. By taking q near cut over the
hills, got to town with three 10 four miles walk.
But with land slides and high water the Nom
trose road was not run at all, no trains having
passed over it for week or more, and no pros.
pect of its being in . running condition until
the water goes down.
When We hear from the western part of The
State We presume We shall hear a great deal
more OF the same sort-of the destruction Of
bridges, overflow Of bottom lands. washing awav
Of fences, etc.
Here the river is rising rapidly with a large
rise reported above. Four or Eve feet more win
give US, old settlers say, river as large as in
1851, the largest rise ever known on the upper
Mississippi. And the report brought by boats |
rom above justify US in expecting four to six |
feet more. But should we fail to get any more
rain for few days We rather think the rise will
not De as great as expected. But in any event
can do US no damage. The Railroad Comp.ny
rave employed the little steamer Silver Lake.
Eh'ch carries both freight and passengers to
he cars steaming across the bottom to near
'qmwka Junction. Ten feet more rise would
lot carry the water into our ware houses. or

y The HERALD, THE PRESIDENT, AND THE DEMOCRATIC
PAKTy.--We transfer leading article from the New
York Herald to our columns to-day on the subject
of the Presidents position and that of the demo-
cratic party. 1t is perhaps not necessary that we
should say that we would regard the success of any
measure as exceedingly doubtful which should
promise the destruction of the democratic organi-
cation We have no faith in the patriotism or any
other and we confess cannot comprehend how
the Herald can think otherwise. Our contemporary
attributes our views to the partisan spectacles we
are supposed to wear. 1t may be SO, but we have
impression that the Union is the very least par-
in character of any political journal in the
try, not even excepting the Herald. We are guided
solely by what we see to be right and very little,
indeed, by mere party influences.
