The Loving Kindness of God.

The living kindness of God! what q
beautiful expression! How rich and con-
soling the thought contained in IL! 1t is
not mere good will, nor mere complaisant
friendship, nor mere neighborly kindness
of human beings, although these are Of
high and precious account; it is the good
will, the friendship, the kindness of love-
of the love of God, who is love itself. We
know something of the loving kindness Of
father and mother. We have been gently
tended and nursed by this kindness; are
parents ourselves, we know full we'll the
throbbing of paternal affection. Deep,
earnest selfsacrifcing is human love in
many tender relations.
We trust in it fervcntly and without fear.
o! if there was no human love in which
we could trust, what would this earth be !!
But the loving kindness Of God, of that in
comprehensive being who fills the uni
verse with his presence, and before whose
majesty the pillars of heaven tremble-
what lovingness that must be! the kind
ness of infinite love welded with infinite
power! There is nothing that love can
conceive Of, or wish to do for its object, but
is contained here, and rendered not only
possible, but absolutely certain.

Sympathy of the Body with an
Amputated Member.

AT Towe's Mill, in Lanesborough, Mass,
on Tuesday, young man named Jerry
Swan was caught by the arm in some ma
chinery, and the limb was so badly broken
and mangled that immediate amputation
was necessary. This was successfully per-
formed, but according 10 the Pittsburgh
Eagle, Mr.. Swans's connections with the
discovered limb did hot cease with the op-
eraiions. The Eagle says:
"On recovering from the stupor (pro-
duced by the use of chloroform,) Mr.. Swan
still complained of an aching hand. Late
in the evening his distress became very
great, and he insisted that the hand was
cramped by being doubled up. The limb
had been placed in small box and buried.
His attendants dug it up and straighten-
ed the hand and he was soon easier. This
morning the limb was again buried. But
he soon complained of a sensation of cold
and great pain in it. 1t was accordingly
takin up again, wrapped up, and deposited
in a tomb, since which he is again reiiev-
ed"

--The Bible.

There is sublime grandeur divine sub
Unity, in contemplating the mission and
destiny of the Bible. Wherever its holy
influence is felt and its teachings obeyed,
there man attains the highest degree Of
moral excellence. The Bible dispels the
gloomy clouds of ignorance from the gaze
of man-speeds onward the mighty car of
civilization, and actuates man to perform
deeds of lasting purity. The Bible is a
gem containing pearls of untold value. 1t
is the standard for Earth's erring millions,
and the home book of Heaven; the light
house of hope looming up through life's
tempestuous sea, guiding the despairing
soul, from off the shoals of vice through
the "murky dens' of sin, and watts it
triumphant to barbor of Eternal Rest.
Its influence sparkles and shines like a
brilliant star in the midst of clustering
hosts of worlds, eclipsing by its glorious
splendor, the brilliancy of the gloomy
worlds around. Its influence in the heart of
man, like the sparkling gem of purity,
breathes forth its mild teaching, balm for
the weary soul. The sacred rays, of Love,
Peace, Truth and Purity beam and radiate
from its glowing Page. The weary, and
heavy laden of all classes and conditions,
seek here the consultations which nothing
else can give.

A Japanese on American Poll.
tics.

A correspondent of the New York Times
(whom we suspect to be none other than
Howe, the "Pacha," ") indites second epis-
tie purporting to be written by one of the
japanese ambassadors to his friend Moon
ski:
But the government of the country, oh
son of Frum, is that which has most filed
the soul of thy cousin with wonder. The
people choose Tycoon from among them
selves once in four years. In making the
choice they do not say: Has this man wis.,
dom9 But they say: Can he run! Thus
one party bas chosen man whose legs are
longer than the mandates of Mikado; for
they say: Behold, he can run like the bird
of the desert. And they say of him, he
is used to the splitting of rails. In the
wonder of my soul say to Gen. Scott, Ka-
mi, is rail splitting one of the qualifications
of the Tycoons? And he made an an
swer that his people designed to fence this
country in, and that honest Abe will do it!
Another party desires to have Tycoon
whom they call Douglas; but the people
say that he cannot run well; which must
be true, as his legs are exceedingly short and
his stomach round. Another party say
that for Tycoon they wish a great scribe
whose name is Ever-at-it. He declines the
sentiments of his soul upon paper called
the Ledger, and signs himself Bonner. 1t
was this great scribe that wrote the book
called the Gun maker of Moscow, as thou
wilt remember, as translated into the Ian
guage of Niphon, and which the Grand
Lama read with joy. Should Everat-it
be made Tycoon, his friend, whose surname
is Cobb. will sit at his right hand, and
their united wisdom will be published to
the land in the Ledger. Truly, oh son Of
Frum, this is q singular people. %

A THOUGHT FOR YOUNG MEN.-More

A THOUGHT FOR YOUNG MEN.-More
may be learned by devoting few moments
daily to reading, than is commonly suppo-
sed. Five pages may be read in fifteen
minutes, at which rate one may peruse 26
volumes, of two hundred pages each, in a
year. You say you have none to guide
you. The best scholars and men of sci
encc will tell you by far the most valuable
part of their education is that which they
have given themselves. Volumes have
been filled with the autobiography of self
taught men. Think of Franklin, the prin-
ter; of Lime, the shoemaker; of John
Hunter, the cabinetmaker; of Hershel,
the muician; of Donald the weaver; of
Turner, the printer; of Burrit, the black
smith. Love learning, and you will be
learned. Where there is a will there is a
way.
Begin at once, take time by the forelock,
and remember that it is only the first step
that costs, and having begun, resolve to
learn something every day. Strike the
blow, and avoid the weakness of those who
spend half of life in thinking what they
shall do next. Always have volume
near you which you may catch up at such
odd minutes as are your own. 1t is in
credible, until the trial has been made, how
much real knowledge may be acquired in
these broken fragments of time, which are
like the dust of gold and diamonds.

The Carnage at the Battles of
Late Franco. Austrian War.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes in late letter:
1t has already been shown by docu-
ment published at Brescia by the chief
Italian surgeon Of the place, that the acci-
dents at Soferino on the allied side, which
entered for treatment at the hospital of
Brescie alone, were little over 81 1000;
if 10 this be added the men who entered
the hospitals of other towns and villages,
those who had wounds which did not drive
them into the hospitals land the hospitals
on account of the intense heat were avoid
ed by every one who could nurse his wound
in camp,) and the dead left on the field,
we arrive inevitably at figure approx
mating 45,000-or about one-fourth of the
entire army, not more than 6ve-eights
of which were engaged. DR.. Berthe
rand, one of the principal surgeons of
the French army, Director of the Medical
School at Algiers, and chief surgeon TO
one of the corps d armee in the late Ital-
ian campaign, has just published a small
work of 200 pages on the surgical service
of the campaign.
In this work DR.. Bertherand states that
the effective force Of the French army in
Italy had reached, on the day Of the battle
of Solferino, 21S, 200 men, and be gives
the same figures as the Brescia surgeon,
as the number of wounded who entered
the hospitals of that town afterward, to-wit:
"More than 1900 French, $4,000, Ital.
ians, and about 1900 Austrians-total
$4,000 men," He further says, "that
from the 9th of June to the 18th of Aug
ust, period which comprised the evacua-
tions from Magenta, Maleguano and Sol
ferino, the hospitals Of Milan received in
numbers, 2l,o00 Italians, and 1000 Aus
triani-total, $4,000" These figures en-
brace also those attacked with any serious
disorder, such for example as typhoid fe-
yer; but the army was remarkably healthy
during the whole campaign, and every man
not attacked with an absolutely grave dis
order, was treated outside; so that the en-
tries from thiscause were insignificant
The reader will observe in regard to the
statistics at Milan, that while all, or nearly
all, of the wounded of Magenta and Nal
egnano were carried there, but certain
proportion of these from Solferino are
comprised in the number. AS Inst OBJ
servervation, the officers and very many
of the privates who had friends in the
country, were treated in private houses.

A FIERY TERM.-Since the first of July
the weather has been very hot in Alabama
and Mississippi. The thermometer has
ranged from ninety-fivs to one hundred de-
grees for many days. The New Orleans
Picayune of the 18th, says the heat is al
most Unprecedented. In several cities the
heat has been attended with unusual NOR
tality-deaths from sunstroke having been
frequent Mhe Montgomery Gala. Mail;
of the 9th, says: r4
ave learn that the Thermometer marked
1OS degrees in seveal open houses of the
city yesterday. One of our citizens, who
has kept diary of the weather for thirty
odd years, says that the present is the
hottest summer since 1928. We have
not known the mercury to range as high
as 90 degrees but once before in Mont
gomery, and thst was, we believe, in $780,

AN AFFAIR OF HONOR ABRoAD.-The
Essener Zeitung,a a German journal, has an
account of an affair of honor between an
American, whose name is withheld, and a
Silesian, Count Won D., which took place
near Aix-la- Chapelle on the goth June
last. 1t seems that the German had been
paying attentions to the Americans daugh-
ter in Paris, and suddenly cut her acquain-
tance without assigning any reason there
for. The duel was fought with pistols, at
fifteen PAGES distant. The Count received
ball in his side, which passed anteriorly
nearly through bis body, without touching
any vital part, and was extracted from the
left side. According to our German in
formant, "the Yankee'-who, it seems,
escaped unhurt-"after firing, lit his cigar,
and, without deigning to notice his antago-
mist, drove to his hotel in AK. After Ia
king some refreshments he left the city,"
The wounded Silesian was conveyed 10 his
hotel.
According TO another version Of this af
fair, which is given in the Borsen Zeituug,
OF Berlin, the Americana sister, and not
his daughter, was the cause of the recon-
tire.

Will the Challenge be Accepted:

Our old friend Steward, of the Dunklrk
New York; Press and argus, has the
following in the last number of the excel
lent Democratic sheet:
"a CHALLENGE.-I will meet any en-
dorsed Douglas man at any convenient
point in Chautauque county, and discuss
the following propositions:
'1st. The nomination of Douglas at
Baltimore was not made in accordance with
the usages of the Democratic party.
sgd. The doctrine of Squatter Sover-
eighty, as expounded by Douglas, is con-
trary to the Constitution of the Uuited
States and anti-Democratic.
"9d. The Douglas party has endorsed
the most ultra proslavery doctrines and
stands openly in the field on the most in
consistent and conflicting positions.
"4th. The Breckenridge Platform is
the only safe solution of the slavery ques-
tion as applied to Territories; and that it
is in strict accordance with the Cincinnati
Platform.
81 will take tho affirmative.
"JAMEs STEWARD"
If the best of the Douglas tribe in this
city are anxious to splinter lance in de-
fense of their candidate, and to have afore-
taste Of that
"-stern joy which warriors feel
In foeman worthy Of their steel"
we have but little doubt that Mr.. Steward
would, for their benefit, so extend the
bounds of Cbautauque county as to inclade
the city of Cleveland, and will meet them,
"here or elsewhere" and manfully main-
tain every position he assumes. :,
In character and in talents, Mr.. Steward
is the peer of any Douglas man In OHIO;
in Democracy he is as far above them as
truth is above error. He is an Ohio boy
an Ohio mechanic, and is measurably
self educated. If any man of the Doug
las faction, with character as a speaker suf-
ficient to draw out crowd of his friends,
wishes to take the negative of the above
we have but little doubt our
friend of the argus will accommodate
them on any Saturday afternoon they may
choose to select Clsveland National
Democrat.

WHAT Is POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY?
Look on this Picture.

81 firmly and conscientiously believe
thai there is no safety for the country, no
hope for the preservation of the Uuion, ex-
cept by faithful and rigid adherence 10
the doctrines of non-intervention by Con-
gress in the Territories. Intervention
means disunion. There is no difference in
principle between northern and southern
Intervention. The one intervenes for sla.
very, but each appeals to the passion and
prejudlces of his own section against the
peace of the whole country and the right
of self-geverument by the people of the
territories; hence the doctrine of non-in-
tervention must be maintained at all haz-
ar.ls; but while l can never sacrifice the
principle even to attain the Presidency

self to maintain the principle" douglas

Now on this.
'sThe citizens of the United States have
an equal right to settle with their property
of any kind, in the organized territories of
the United States, and that under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the case of Dred Scott, which
we recognize as the correct exposition of
the Constitution in this particular, Stare
property stands upon the same footing as
all other descriptions of property, and that
neither the geneal government, nor any
territorial government, can destroy or i'm
pair the right TO slave property in the COM
mon territories, any more than the right
to any other description of property; that
property of all kinds, slaves as well as any
other species of property, in the territories,

partments of the general government >

The prisoners captured in the Mexican
steamers by Commander Turner have arrived
at New Orleans Ia the O. s. ship Prebls, and
if pirates as is claimed in justification Of
theiEespiurs, they should be punished as such,
That they will be, is scarcely pretended. They
will probably be liberated by the President,
Who if called upon by Congress, it is stated
will inform that body that the seizure has no
eounexisn whatever with the present imbrOgliO
10 Mckee. -t.a . ~. a.-
Itis further stated from Washington that
the Government is determined to demand of
Spain whether the captured vessels were fitted
out at Havans, with the eOgnizance of the
Spanish officials, for the purpose Of interfering
with our commerce. Some Pretext for the
seizure Of Cuba and war With Spain has been
sought BY the Administration, and unless Spain
dissvOws the fitting out Of the Mexican steam
ers, the suspension Of our neutrality laws, SO
far as spsin is concerned, is threatened.
One Of the organs of the President in Wash
ingtOn calls on the Administration to avenge
the insult of allowing MiramOn's feet to be
fitted out at Havana, by seizing on the Moro.
The Baltimore Patriot insists that the plan IS
already matursd to seize upon Cuba by force,
and predicts that unless the President Is re-
strained by Congress, Cuba will be in the posses
sion Of the United States, and war viii be
raging with Spain, before the lst day of next

ever, for 1900 percussion rifles, 1000 Sharp's

President iDfcrms the warIike Governor Of
Texas that there are now in that State ready fo1
active service, ,65I troops, which are to be in
creased coon BY the addition of s42 men from
New Bexico. This the President thinks suffi'
cient to protect the Texas frontier.
In regard to arms, the quota due Texas
under the law, is l69 musksts, which in ar
emergency may be doubled by anticipating the
quota for the next year. These will be deliv
cred upon requisitiOn. The cost of the quOtt
Gov Houston calls for would be within frae
tiOn of 100000 The President prOnOuncel
the requisitiOn impracticable, and informs
