FLowERs.-Many a bright-eyed girl to-
day, who works worsted and dances divine
~, does not know that a moss-rose is a
first cousin to French turnip, and the nan
gel-wurtzel poor relation in the poppy
family. Flowers are not trihes as one
might know, if he would only think how
much pains God has taken with them every
where; not one unfinished; not one bear
ing the marks of brush or pencil. Fringing
the eternal borders Of mountain winters
gracing the pulseless breast of the old gray
granite; everywhere they are humanizing.
Murderers do not ordinarily wear roses in
their buttonholes. Villains seldom train
vines over cottage doors b. r. Taylor.

JUDGE MEEK r : JoHNsoN.-At the Breck-
inridge meeting IN Washington, last Mon
day evening, Judge Meek of Alabama had
something to say of the pouglasite candi-
date for Vice President, whose recorded
opinions none of the Douglas organs dare to
publish. Independent writes to the
Philadelphia North american
"The significant feeture of the meeting
was an earnest and general protest against
any purpose, design or contemplation of dis
union, now or hereafter. In speaking for
Alabama, Judge Meek said these ISLANDERS
upon his fair fame had been purposely faori-
Gated in order to produce a false impression
upon the country. He stated that when, as
a Union man in 1850, he was sustaining
the compromise and opposing the ultras,

sG5-In report of the 4mgLo Sa1on case,
which appeared in our paper yesterday
without the perusal of the editor, some Sc
we're and Objectionable reflections were cast
upon sundry parties, which we are unwil-
ling should go out with editorial sanction.
The case being in litigation, it was improper
for such remarks to be made. The true
merits will doubtless be arrived at in the
final decision, and we regret that the re-
marks made by the writer of the article ap-
peared in print. We make this disclaimer

priety, and without being spoken to by any
one on the subject. We are unwilling TO
PREJUDICE any case or to condemn any party
without a full hearing.

JUDGE DEBRULER CANDIDATE FOR Con-
GREss.-Judge DeBruler of this pace has
consented to be a candidate on the Republi-
can ticket for Congress. The Judge is per-
sonally very popular and will no doubt
make most vigorous canvass. As a man,
as citizen, and a neighbor, not a word of
disparagement can be said against him.
He is honest, capable and clever. Should
he succeed, ne would make an excellent
member of Congress. Judge Law is also
equally worthy in every respect, and being
a Democrat is justly entitled to the suffra-
ges of the whole party in the district That
Judge Law, will carry his entire party
strength and thereby succeed by a hand
some majority we have no doubt. The per-
sonal popularity of Judge DeBruler, how
ever, will render it necessary for every De-
mocrat to do his whole duty from now to
October and at the polls.-RockpOrt Dem.

BsS~ The Bombay Times of May 18th,
quotes the following from the Dude
Gazette:
We hear the most shocking accounts of
sickness in the districts. In the city it has
abated within the last few days. We do
not know what to call it, but as described
TO Us, it has the nearest approach to apo
plexy. Old and young of both sexes are
suddenly seized with giddiness, and drop
and die usually within a few hours. In
deed, we have not heard of a single in
stance of recovery after the attack. In the
Sultanpore district, ten persons out of eleven
travelling on one occasion together, and ff-
teen out OF twenty-three on another, died in
a single day. The population is fleeing in
all directions, and, what with the plague
and taxation, we are not surprised to hear
of all sorts Of reports of their fears. This
double visitation has created degree of
alarm and apprehension, which, we would
fain trust is founded on very large pro-
portion Of exaggeration of the evils.

VAN BUREN, Ark, July lathe Overland
Mail Coach from San Francisco June 81,
having telegraphic advices of the Goth,
passed here this morning with six through
passengers.
The long expected Pony Express from
ST Joseph on the 9th of June, arrived al
Carson Valley on the evening of the 23d.
The prospects of re-establishing this en-
terprise on a firm basis is a matter of gen.
eral congratulation.
The official returns from the Oregon cleo
ton show Shields (Dem.) to be elected to
Congress by 10 majority.
The papers still complain of Indian de-
predations.
The Pony Express coming east was to
have started the latter part of the first week
in July.

LOGAN REPUDIATED.-John A. Logan,
known through the State of Illinois, from a
speech he made last winter, as Dirty
Work " Logan, has been repudiated by his
constituents of the Egypt" District He
has all along made himself conspicuous as a
toady and tool of Douglas and was a can
didate for denomination before the Demo-
cratic Congressional Convention, but though
he is now serving his first term, he was
beaten, and Breckenridge man nominated
in his stead. This has an unfavorable look
for Douglas in the great Democratic strong
hold of Illinois. Meantime, Republicanism
is gaining ground there, with remarkable
rapidity.-Cn. Gaz.

THE VAN BUREN FARCE No. 2.-Stephen
A. Douglas now occupies much the same
position that Martin Van Buren, did in I849.
Van Buren, did not get a single electoral
vote. neither VIII Mr.. Douglas secure a sin
gle one. Van Buren was warmly supported
by his friends and obtained large number
of votes in the North. SO is Douglas sup
ported by his friends and camp followers
and he bids fair to get very respectable
vote in the North, but by no possibility can he
get single electoral vote. The few States,
such as Indiana and New Jersey, which
Douglas would have had some chance of
carrying, will be thrown to Lincoln by the
large vote that will be given Mr. Breckin-
ridge. And as to the South Douglas has
no more chance of carrying State there
than Van Buren had. The Douglas men
already begin to feel the weight they carry,
and are focking in hundreds to Breckn-
ridge or Lincoln. In fact, the Douglas
strength is fast wasting all over the coun-
try, and we should not be surprised if his
friends would yet consent to take him off
the ticket WOoster Republican.

B9~The Enquirer of Sunday finds much
fault-on behalf Of gentleman belonging
TO its party-with US, for few playful re-
marks We made in our report of the Doug
las Club Meeting last Thursday evening
Our report was written in a humorous vein
and was not intended to give ofiense. We
disclaim any such idea.
We heard that the gentleman in question
was sent for to go to the Court House and
make speech but declined. 1t seems from
his denial of the aforesaid report that
this statement is incorrect. We were misin-
formed, and that is the end of this branch
of the subject.
In regard to the squib about the game of
whist, we have yet to hear anybody init

played it should take offense at mention
being made of the fact in a good -humored
way.
We think that the Enquirer has made
more fuss over this little joke, for political
effect, than the circumstances warrant
