ENDURANCE OF HUNGER AND THIRsT.-The
Independent of Bonham, Texas, gives an ac-
count OF horse, which, having escaped
from its owner, was found seven weeks after
wards, in thicket about mile and halt
from the house. When he escaped he carried
off with him length of twenty-five feet OF
rope which was tied TO his neck, and which,
dragging on the ground had caught in a
bush, and kept him securely fastened all
that time. Unfortunately, the rope had SO
caught that he only had twelve feet OF tether
to play upon. During his bondage, he had
of course, cleared n circle around him, and
in addition to the grass within his reach, b.
had bitten off two elm saplings four inches
in diameter, and eaten the stumps TO the very
ground, and also the trunks aud limbs so
far as his lariat would reach. No rain had
fallen during the period to wet the ground.
aud in the last four weeks it had not even
sprnkled. The horse was an american"
horse, of good size, and fat when be escaped
when found he was perfect skeleton.
Great caution was observed in giving him
water aud food after be was found, aud he
rapidly recovered his fish, and at last ae-
counts was doing well.

Singular Freak.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
Charleston Courier is responsible for the fol-
lowing story:
A Singular freak of fortune happened here
the other day. A Young gentleman of good
family and possessing many amiable quail
ties, but wifhal passionately fond of gambl-
ing, was playing game Of cards with con-
siderable ill-luck; he lost all bis money and
still persisting to combat fate with the bope-
ful energy of an inveterate gambler, he
pulled out lottery ticket which he had
bought that morning, and offered 20 stake it.
He lost again and was forced TO cease play
ing. After the game was over, the winner.
having no faith in lotteries. proposed to
throw dice for it, at twenty-five cents a
chance. This was done, by a bystaRder, a
poor devil who never owned a hundrt dol
lars in his life. and who had been a mere
spectator until he was suddenly inspired TO
risk his quarter of dollar, won the ticket
A few days afterwards tie Havana steamer
arrived. and 10! the ticket had drawn twenty
five thousand dollars.
The original owner, who had thus thrown
away fortune, on hearing the news, was
taken with an attack of brain fever. and is
even now in a sad condition; it is feared be
will rmain an idiot. The lucky drawer OF
the prize, Immediately invested round sum
in an assortment of the most fasby jewelry
and garments, and has been leading eveI
since life of continued revelry: he has be-
come fast man and is following fast the
road to ruin. The disbelever in lotteries
cannot forgive himself, and whenever be
meets a friend. he catches him by a button o.
his coat and relates the story to him. This il
the way got 1t. and it cost me two buttons
1t has become such mania with him that hi:
friends avoid him and turn the corner as sOor
tlaxr h.. u
has had several quarrels at the gaming ia
BILE, where the sight of the cards would in
evitably bring to his lips the oft told tale o.
his misfortune.

MS The Pittsburg Journal, remarking up
on q Union of all conserv alive men in the
Presidential election of 1860, says: NEARLY
all the concialiatory men of the opposition
are the old Wings, who have not essentially
changed their politics. The most of the i'm
practicables are the old liberty men on the
one side, and the Democrats. who have aban-
doned their organization, on the other. These
latter especially are jealous for all the ex-
tremer maxims of the Republicans" We
trust the conservative masses of The North
wi ii not be led away by these-impractieables.
the 'old. liberty mem and-the "democaats
who have abandoned their organization
Let these have their platform, if they will, but
] ct those men who desire a union of national
and unsectionaI sentiment, turn deaf ear to
their appeals. There is "a large and grow
ing mass of the men of fhe South who want to
rescue the country from the hands of Sc G.
journalism and fanaticism in 1860, and ii the
people of the North, discarding their foolish
distractions and turning their attention to
vital issues. affi citing the permanence and
prosperity of the Union, will meet them on
true national grounds, there can and will be
a union and not otherwise.

The mi..i..ippi Democracy.

The democracy Of Mississippi are rapidly
gaining the reputation OF being the most
ultra in the Union. They have placed them
selves, as they say, immos ably on the follow
ing doctrines:
l. Congr, ssonal protection of slavery in
the territories.
2. Reopening the African Slave trade.
3. Dissolution of the Union in the event
of the election OF President by the r, pub
lican party.
Slavery is all in all with them. South
Carolina pales her Intellectual fires " before
the fierce democracie !" of Mississippi.
Notification is q very tiny affair compared
with the blazing disunionism OF Mississippi.
But what will these devourers OF live Goals
do in the Charleston Convention? They will
have delegates there and what will those
delegates do with the squatter sovereignty
delegates frum Ohio, Vermont, Maine, Iowa,
New Jersey, Minnesota aud the other North
ern States? Ex-Gov. MCRAE says: = If the
DOUGLAS construction of the Cincinnati plat
form prevail al Charleston, he, for one, would
not submit. He Is for independence out OF
the Union in preference to dlshonor in it,"
Another says: g Let us go into the Charles
ton Convention, demanding protection TO
save property in the territories. II this is
denied us, self-respect will force US to retire
from the Convention. and leave the plotters
of our ruin to revel over violated eonstitu-
ton, and witness the DOWNFALL, PreePitated BY
IT'S ospn corruption of the democratic party"
The organs of the party all over the State
respond this must be made a sane qaa ron to
fraternal action. An acceptance of the
Cincisnati platform, unexplained would
amount to a recognition OF the doctrine
advanced by DoUGLAs-a doctrine violative
of the obvious intent of the Constitution, and
coutradctive OF the equality of the States in
the Union." These are the utterances OF the
Mississippi democracy. What think sle de-
mocracy of Tennessee of their brethren in
Mississippi We shall see.

The Electrical Light.

The light in the heavens on Sunday night is
noted in all directions. As we looked towards
the sky, between the hours of 8 and 10 and
10 and IL, at Staten Island, the light exceed
ed in splendor and variety of colOring any
thing of the kind our eyes ever witnessed.
The old rOets represented Aurora as rising
in chariot from the ocean dropping the
gentle dew from her rosy fingers but that
was the morning twilight. The visible
streams of Auroral light seen on Sunday
we're not the common Aurora BOrealis; they
We're more in the range of east and west than
in the north. The light appeared in streams,
sometimes of pure milky whiteness and
sometimes of light crimson. They ascend
ded towards the zenith from faint lines and
increased to broad steaks of light, culminat-
ing in beautiful crown or panoply from
which a multitude of brilliant and ever
changing rays shot down towards the hori-
zOn. Tie white and ros -red waves of light
as they swept to and from the corona were
beautiful beyond description, and a friend
near by us, while looking to the zenith with
the whole heavens and earth lighted up at a
greater brilliancy than is afforded by the full
moon, said that il was like resting beneath the
wing of the Almighty. The crown above,
indeed, looked like throne of silver. purple
and crimson, hung and spread out with cur
tains or wings of dazzling beauty. Never
did the heavens seem to be more the work of
the Creator. nor the sublimest work of art
sink IN comparison so far beneath the won
drous skill and power of the great Architect
of the heavens. The tremuous motion OF
moving light, which the inhabitants OF Shet-
land Islands call 1.-The merry daueers," was
less apparent than usual. but III place of
1t came those full, bright, changing. but more
steady STR ans of light, which gave an in
tense brllliancy TO the whole heavens.
Seeing all this in the country, with no bricks
mortar, or high walls to obstruct ones OBJ
ServatiOn, the view much more impress
