AN OPINIoN.-We are informed that
VIM. Penn Clark of Iowa City, who
passed through this city from Washing
ton, where he has spent a portion Of the
winter, expresses his conviction that
Seward cannot receive the nomination
at the Chicago Republican Convention,
but that the chances of Simon Cameron
of Pennsylvania are far more brilliant.
1t is the opinion Of many Republicans
hereabout that he (Seward) could not
be elected if nominated. We hope
they will have a chance to try it.

a SISGULAR HALLuCISATIoN.-Therc
is young man in the city who OF late
has exhibited evidences Of monoman'a'
or something akin, which, we're they not
lamentable, would be truly amusing.
1t appears that at period not long
remote. his heart became touched with
the many attractions possessed by
young and fair lady, but unfortunately
for him her heart did not reciprocate
his affection, and be became impressed
with the strange idea that he was fe-
male. Since that time he has permitted
his hair, formerly kept cut short, to
grow to an undue length. and keeps it
dressed in the style generally worn by
the ladies. All the little arts resorted
to by the divine sex to whiten and beau
THY the skin are regularly practiced by
him, and in all things does he strive to
support his assumed character with the
exception Of donning the petticoats.
In this particular his tastes seem to diff
fer from the sex generally. Pants cut
q la bloomer, shoes with dainty heels,
and hat Of decidedly feminine cut are
the nearest approaches he makes to the
dress of woman. Why this derelic
ton from the generally approved style
of female apparel we are not informed,
but it is doubtless owing to dislike Of
anything eooperish.
A voice reduced to whispering tender
ness, completes this man-woman.
Cases Of this kind have occurred be-
fore, and probably they are far from be-
ing rare, but we think this worthy the
mention, showing as it does one of the
many singular conceptions Of which the
human mind is capable.-Burlimgton

The Cattle Disease Caused By
Immature Food.

There is an interesting article in the
Journal a. agriculture Prdtique, from
the pen of Gustave Hamoir, in which
several facts are brought forward to show
that cattle feeding on immature food are
very liable to topleuropneanaonia-the cattle
disease which has caused such panic
during the present summer in Massaehu-
setts.
He states that in seasons favorable 20
a rank growth Of the sugar beet-and
when, consequently, the beet is deficient
in sugar-cattle fed ON the pulp of the
beets are subject to this disease. but
he has found that il the pulp is steamed
in such way that the steam carries of
the volatile matters-alcohol, acetic acid,
and essential oils--it is then healthy
food. ,y..
Several experiments are mentioned
which seem to prove the truth of this
idea.
There eau be no doubt chat immature
food of any kind is unhealthy. The
leaves of turnips, which analysis shows to
contain much larger PERCENTAGE Of nitro
gen than the bulbs, and have tendency
to cause scours in the sheep and cattle
eating them. In Mr.. Lawes' experiments
on sheep this fact was brought out in a
very striking manner. Sheep fed on
turnips manured with superphosphate Of
lime did well and gave fair increase
while sheep fed on the same kind Of
turnipe and grown in the same field, and
fed out at the same time, but which
were dressed with large quantity Of
ammonia, not only did not increase in
weight, but actually lost in flesh, and
were so evidently ill-fed that it was nee
essary to discontinue the experiment.
Analysis showed these turnips TO contain
much higher percentage of nitrogen
than those grown with the superphosphatc
of lime-in other words, they were
deficient in carbonaceous matter. The
ammonia caused them to continue grow
ing late in the fall, and they were, wher
gathered, far from being perfectly mat
ured.
Sugar beets, heavily dressed with am
moniacal manures, are well known to bt
deficient in sugar, and the manufacturer:
of beet-root sugar do not like excessively
heavy crops. M. Hamoir states that the
years when the crops of beet were un
usually heavy were the years when the
cattle disease most prevailed, and we have
no dout it was caused by the bects being
immature grass, or that grown on low
wet land, would also be injurious.

"FELLow CITIZENS" said Mr.. Seward
at Lansing, ''if Gen.. Cass had so admi-
nistered your Territorial government of
Michigan as to encourages the introduction
of one thousand slaves, your noble COM
monwealth would now have been q slave
State" Indiana and Illinois so admin
istered their Territorial governments as to
admit the introduction of slaves, but they
are not slave States. Mr.. Seward ought
to be ashamed of such twaddle, especially
after admitting, as he did in his Detroit
speech, that there can be no more slave
States unless the African slave trade shall
be re-opened. If there werea thousand
slaves in Michigan to day there would
not be one at the expiration of a month
they would have all been exported south
where their value is five times more than
it would be here. Detroit Free Press.

Swear Not.

can conceive of noreason why man
should swear; but of ten reasons why he
should not: A@ i'
1t is mean. A man of high moral
standing would almost as soon steal a
sheep rs swear.
1t is vulgar-altogcther TO low for a
decent man.
1t is cowardly-implying fear either
Of not being believed or obeycd.
1t is ungentlemanly-a gentleman, nc
cording to Webster, is genteel man
well bred, refined. Such man will no
more swear, than go into the street TO
throw mud with clod hopper.
1t is ndecent--offensive to deicacy,
and extremely unfit for human ears.
1t is foolish "Want of decency is
want of sense" p L
1t is abusive--to the mind which con-
ceives the oath, TO the tongue which ut
ters it, and to the person to whom it is
aimed.
1t is venomous-showing mans
heart to be a nest of vipers, and every
time he swears one Of them sticks out
his head.
1t is contemptible-forfeiting the re-
spcct of all the wise and good.
Ii is wicked-violating the divine law,
and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold him guiltless who takes
his name in vain.

The COUNTRY IS IN A BLAzE.--Of the
widest enthusiasm from the hills of the
Old Granite State TO the broad prairies of
the Great West, from the Northern Lakes
to the beautiful Savannas of the South,
there is one universal uprising for Doug
las. The demonstrations in Boston, in
Hartford, in Utica, in Cleveland, in
Springfield, and in New Orleans, and all
over the South and West are but one un-
broken series of unprecedented successful
oyations to the great man and the great
idea for which we contend. .t
There has not been since the days of
the great Jackson an issue Of greater inn
portancc, nor one in which so much feel
ing is manifested as in the pending cam
paign.
We feel like exhorting every young man
to enlisting now, and fighting the great
battle to the end, for victory, glorious
life-lasting victory will bo that of the
Douglas party in this contest, and il will
give complexion to our politics for an age.

DOUGLAS mother lives near Clifton
Springs, New York. The other evening
party of black republicans, on their
return from wide-awake meeting, halted
in front of her house and uttered groans
and Kisses. This was scarcely more indie
cent than the manner in which she has
been alluded to by the black republican
press. Nor does Douglas wife escape,
She, too, is the subject of coarse illusions
by black republican orators and news
papers. What miserable fanaicism is
it that delights in this sort of warfare.

john S. BARRY.-An article in a
late number of the Detroit AdUertiSer,
referring to the administration of Ex-
Governor Barry, the democratic candidate
for Governor, says:
ale did not steal any of the public
money, nor did he squander it away"
This statement is true, every word Of
it, and it is unfortunate for the people Of
Michigan that as much cannot be said Of
the last and present administrations
They have managed TO "steal and
"squander" the public money, and the
State is now in condition that requires
the aid and conduct Of man who at least
possesses the "merit" that the Advertise,
accords to Gov. Bary-a qualification tc
which the State Treasury has been 6
stranger for the last five or six years. The
people Of Michigan now demand tha
kind of "merit" in Governor, which vii
not permit him to "stear' or "squandel
away the public money" for they cal
then be assured that he possesses the nerv,
and capacity to prevent others from
preying on the Treasury.

in an elaborate review of Stephen A.
Douglas, says: "There was no need Of
extravngant praises and dishonest advo-
cacy TO make sketch of Mr.. Douglas
career attractive. The mere outline given
by the recital of the fact constitutes q
drama Of daring action and startling sue
cess. Like Gen. Jackson, whom in many
respects he closely resembles, the most
powerful member of the United States
democratic party raised himself from
indigence and obscurity to wealth and
power by strength of intellect and strength
of will" ...-.
