Hon. william Allen

We notice that this glorious old
''lion of the Ohio Democracy" has
been favorably spoken Of in various
quarters, as the "man of the age" for
the nomination for the Presidency -
There are many reasons why, at this
.juncture. his nomination would be one
eminently fit to be made.
Mr.. Allen is one of the few surviv-
orS OF the proudest days ofour party

tested their Democracy, and in those
days, when there were truly giants
opposed to each other Ohio'S tall
young Senator in craftsmanship, gal.

For years he has kept alooffrom the
party quarrels that have agitated our
party in this State, coming from his
proud and honorable retirement only
in the days of peril, when his strength
and influence has been needed for the
safety ofa great principle or to prevent
a total route ofthe party.
We are of those who have honored
him for seeking retirement and main
tanning it when tempting offers have
been held out to him, to enter into the
chicancrY Of local politics for success.

The battle Of 1850 must be fought

not, then, unite upon man who cod

In these troublesome times, a man

JNisttuantous,
Caught in His own Trap.

Once, two ministers Of the gospel
were conversing on extemporaneous
preaching.
"Well," said the old divine, wax.
ing warm, "you are running yourself
by writing your sermons and reading
them off. Your congregation cannot
become interested in your preaching,
and if you were called to preach un.
expectedly, unless you could get hold
of an old sermon you would be COM
pletely confused.
The young divine used all his elo,
quence, but in vain, to convince the
old gentleman that the written SER
mons expressed his thoughts and feel.
ings, and, if called upon, he could
preach eXtemporaneousIy.
GAS we are Of the same faith, "
said the young minister, Suppose
YOU try me the next sabbath morning.
On ascending the pulpit you can hand
me text from any part Of the Bible,
and | will convince you that | can
preach without having looked at the
text before | stood up. Likewise, |
must be allowed the same privilege
with You and see who will make the
best Of it."
The idea seemed to suit the old
gentleman and it was Immediately
agreed upon.
The following Sabbath, Oh mount,
ing the pulpit, his senior brother hand
ed him slip of paper, on which was
written: "AaG the ASS opened his
mouth and spake;' from which he
preached a glorious sermon, claiming
the attention of his delighted hearers,
and charming his old friend with his
eloquence.
In the afternoon, the young brother
who was sitting below the pulpit,
handed his slip. After raising and
opening the Bible, the old man look
ed sadly around Gam not thine
ass9" Pausing a few minutes, he ran
his fingers through his hair, straight
ened his collar, blew his hose like the
last trumpet, and read aloud-"Am |
not thine $50" Another pause, in
which deadly silence reigned. AT
ter reading a third time--"Am | not
thine assl" he looked over the pulpit
at his friend, and in doubtful voice,

THREE PERSONS KILLED IN A DUEL
IN CUBA, BY ONE MANA major Of
the rural militia, 65 years old, near
Havana, Cuba, recently fought dnel
with swords, and killed his adversary,
a Young man. The second then took
up the quarrel, and he too was killed,
by a thrust of the majors sword; a
cousin of the principal next stepped
forward, and was also killed; lastly, a
friend of all the others felt bound to
avenge the deaths, but, upon receiving
a rather severe wound, declared him
self satisfied. The victorious duelist,
in full uniform, went to Havana and
presented himself to the Captain Gen
eral, who, without depriving him
of his sword, pointed out a room for
him to occupy, and placed a "guard
ofhonor" at the door. 1t is believed
he will oe acquitted by the military
court before which he is to be tried.
