decidedly rich affair transpired at the
Democratic State Convention last week. Du-
ring the recess that was taken whilst the Com
mittee on Resolutions was absent, several dis
tinguished Democrats were called upon for
speeches, but as "tbiugs wasn't working'' as
tremendously as was desired, no one seemed
inclined to hold forth. Finally some wag got
his eye on sslive Yankee one Prof Gard
ner, the ssNew England Soft Soap Man." and
called upon him. The Professor responded in
style peculiar to his class of orators, setting
forth to the members of the Convention and
the audience generally, the inimitable virtues
of his s'soft soap an article which he says
is manufactured without lye.'' The Profes-
sor made decided hit, and produced much
merriment. 1t is not stated whether the Con-
vention ordered any of Lis ''soft soap or not,
but we presume they didn't, from the fact that
their resolutions contain an abundance of the
article, though we doubt whether it is, like
Gardner's, manufactured without He."

HIGH WATER.-The Ohio River at Shawnee
town, Illinois, rose on the 4th instant, TO with
in four feet of the highest stage of water ever
known, having submerged the whole town, and
driven the inhabitants to the second stories of
their dwellings. The streets were navigable
for steamboats, in almost every part, and the
water at the door of the Southern lIIinoisan.'
was over four feet deep The destruction of
property on the OHIO and its tributaries, was
said TO be immense, but no estimate of its
amount had as yet been arrived at
