A story has been circulating in the pa
pers respecting child in New Bedford who
was left sleeping in cradle, and was found
by its mother nearly deprived of life by o
cat, which had stolen into the cradle and
was sucking the infants breath. The But,
falo Commercial Advertiser, a seml-medlcal
organ, advances the opinion that the story
is all meonshine so far as the chlld's breath
is concerned, as at such Il game the cat
would have the worst of the bargain, babies
having much stronger power OF suction
than cats The probability is that the cat Sc
lected the cradle as warm bed, and lying
on the child's chest produced violent night
mare, which might have resulted as 1t some
times does, in death.

Douglas and his Prospects.

1t is obvious to all impartial observers that
the prospects of Douglas for the Charleston
nomination are Frightening with each sue
ceeding day. Not only is he rapidly and
surely winning favor with all the phases Of
Democracy at the North, but in the South,
also, large number of Democratic organs
and politicians are preparing to accord to
him their unhesitating and Jealous support
in the event of his nomination by the
Charleston Convention. Indeed, with con-
siderable portion Of the Southern Democra-
cy, Douglas is their first choice for the next
Presidency-on account, mainly, of his be-
Ing the first choice of the Squatter Sovereign
ty and Freesoil Democracy Of the North,
aud because of the conviction, that his NOM
, nation and his nomination alone, would Sc
cure the triumph Of the Democratic party
We observe that scores of Southern Demo-
Gratis, who heaped unmeasured denunciatlon
upon Douglas for his opposition to the adj
mission of Kansas under the Lccompton
! Constitution, and who then characterized
! him as an .Abolitionist," renegade a
traitor" to the South, are now among the
foremost in apologizing for his delinquencies,
and excusing his heresies. and grooming
him for the next Presidential race.
Now, where is the consistency, or the pa

Douglas doctrine is equally obnoxious in
theory with that of Mr.. Seward, and much

So far us lie pyucticat Interests Of tie South
are concerned, IT Is A MUCH WORSE DOCTRINE
THAN THAT OF SEWARD"
Now, if such be the character and tcndcn-
cy of the doctrine held by Douglas in regard
to slavery and the rights of the South, bow
can any Southern Democrat think of giving
his support to Douglas for the Presidency or
for any other Office? If they can support

lie, whose doctrine" on the slavery Ques-
ton, $50 far rs the practical interests of

An OPINION or LOUIS NAroLEoN.-The

upon Louis Napoleon's policy. 1t, neyerthe'

"The result showed that kossnth, with all
his ability and eloquence was but as an IN
FAINT in the hands of the extraordinary man
who rules France, and who now holds IN his
power the fortunes of Europe. Even from
this little fact we can afford to learn lesson
for never until the old popular ideas of Louis
Napoleon are displaced, and until the British
public recognizes in him one OF the most pow

ever seen-a nan gifted with the power OF
calculation that amounts to presclence, JONI

Anocdote of Gen. Jackson.

The North Carolina Advocate, published
mt Raleigh, in its issue of Dist ult., gives the
following anrcdote of General Jackson, in
illustration of his extraordinary knowledge
of human nature:
"iE is M Jwte If Paching. Here is
characteristic anccdote of Gen. Jackson,
not before published, and conveying useful
hint to critics upon sermons. Ii was given
to Gov Ellis by President Buchanan, during
his recent visit to North Carolina, and we
repeat it by memory rs it was told by Gov.
Ellis, in an address to the students of Trinity
College at the late commencement:
When President Jackson appointed Mr..
Buchanan Minister to Russia, the friends of
certain gentleman solicited for him an APP
pointment as secretary of legation. Although
the qualifications of the gentleman were un-
questionable, and his friends numerous and
influential, General Jackson pertnaciously
refused to give him the appointment. And
he explained his refusal to Mr.. Buchanan
by saying, ale is no judge of preaching"
GLOW is that" asked Mr.. Buchanan.
why" said jackson, 81 attended the Meth
odist church year or two ago, and heard q
most able and eloquent sermon by DIR. Dur
bin. 1t was the logic of the Gospel set on
fire by the feryid zeal of devotion to Christ.
The effect was very great upon the congre.
CATION. All were awed into silence and
reverence and felt as though stood before
the awful majesty of the eternal God. As
passed from the church this gentleman for
whom the appointment is solicited, joined me
and broke upon the solemn feeling the ser
mon had inspired, by saying: "The preach
er has given Us very poor sermon: nothing
new in it, only mere defamation" 'Sir,"
added the old General, that man il not fit
for office, he is not to DO trusted, because he
is no Judge of preaching"
And General Jackson did not appoint him
to the Legation of Russia. How he was to
infer disqualification for the Office for the
want of just views of II sermon the President
did not explain. But the future history Of
the man proved the instructive foresight Of
Jackson into character. Upon Mr.. Buchan-
ans return from Russia, he called upon the
President whose first words after the saluta-
ton, were, 81 told you that man was not to
he trusted, because he was no Judge OF
preaching, and sure enough he has been I'M
faithful to The trusts reposed in him." And
SO it was the gentleman had become guilty OF
breach of the principles which are dear to
man of honor and integrity.
This incident gives Us an interesting
glimpse Of the peculiar character Of General
Jackson. and is quite suggestive to persons
who make or hear criticisms on sermons"
