NUMBER s.
Douglas ana Charleston.

correspondent of the San Francisco Nation
al, writing from st. Louis, March 20, says that
the friends of Senator Douglas are resolutely de-
termined that he shall be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention, that they are at work
to secure that end, that ST. Louis is the center
of their operations, which all in good time will
attach to Douglas the party in every Northern
State, and secure to him sufficient footing in
the Southern States to preclude the possibility
of charging him with sectioralism. Says this
writer
With Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Delaware for Douglas, at the outset, and Vir-
glnia drifting to his support, through the feud
between tho friends of Hunter and Wise, the
charge of infdelity to the rights of the South
would be absurd, and no other candidate, it is
thought, could stand even chance for the no.
mination
Douglas mH go into the Charleston Conven-
venticn and his friends are determined that he
shall go, on a footing of perfect equality with
the most orthodox Democrats of the South The
Illinois Senator has no idel of running as an
independent candidate, appealing to the North
ern States for support. His adherents think
there is no necessity fer such step, as he is
certain either to be the Charleston nominee
himself, or the dictator of the nomination"
The National of the 22d, in introducing this
letter says:
" 1t will be seen from the language of our
writer, that Mr.. Douglas is still within the
Democratic organization and that an effort made
by bogus exponents of his political opinions in
this State to exclude him therefrom, is futile"
That is just what we think. Those Democrats
who are now reading, or have heretofore read
Douglas out of the Democratic party are bo-
gus exponents of his political opinions" We
believe that the Charleston Convention will be
forced to nominate Douglas, because no other
Democrat save HIM can win from the Republic
cans a sufficient number of the Free States to
secure the success of the Democratic party.

A short-Meter Prayer.

The Rev. Mr.. Derwel. pious and Gu
rious old Methodist minister, went from
Tennessee to Kentucky. in 1912. to visit
his relative the Hon. William Bolton
The man was not a religious man but was
agentleman, and invited the minister TO
have family worship every evening
While he was visiting there Jadge Cone
and his wife, from Nashville. arrived there
to pass the night, and Mr. Bolton. being
little embarrassed, said to the old minis
ter as he brought ont the Bible, that he
had better be short as the Judge was prob
ably not accustomed to such things.
"Very well. very WE'LL" said he, and
reading single. verse, he knelt down and
prayed:
80 Lord. we are poor and needy crea-
lures and we know that Thou art able to
supply all our wants, but Cousin William
says that Judge Conc and his wife, from
Nashville. are here and are not used tc
family worship. and however needy we
are there is no time to spare in telling Thee
our wants.--AHen."
The Judge vas taken all aback and sc
was Cousin William. They both pressed
the old gentleman to conduct the service,
IN his own way, which he did. to thei
great OBLIGATION.

Consisting of great variety of unique and beau
tiu patterns Of Cigar Tubes; also, several varieties
of Pipe Tubes The popularity aboutthcse articles
is that each one is arranged to receive damp
sponge, through which the smoke OF the burning
Cigar or Tobacco has to pass on its way to the
mouth. This damp sponge not only cools the
smoke, but extracts frcsa it the nicotine oil, the
poisonous property of the Tobacco, which renders
the breath less offensive. Smokers will find in the
use Of these Tubes luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water,jar. Their use
will greatly promote the health of the habitual
smoker and preserve the sweetness of the breath
