BGy@The Boonville Democrat processes to
be squatter sovereignty paper. Now,
be it understood by its editor, Messrs. Davis
and Holman, who would not vote for Mr..
Smith, are the only squatter sovereignty
democrats from this State Evansville Jour
nal.
Well, what if they are2 The question
of "squatter" sovereignty was as much in
issue in voting for Mr.. Smith as the ques-
ton, " Is the moon made of green cheese ~
and so considered by those two gentlemen
at the time they threw their votes away
BooaUiILe Dem.
We guess the editor of the Boonville
Democrat has not read Holman's letter.
That gentleman IA Democratic Representa-
tive of the Anti-Lecompton schooD says:
"As to Mr.. Smiths views of slave code,
would say that while he was receiving
the Democratic vote, he himself voted for
Mr.. Neil, a Georgia Know Nothing, who
said in the House on last Monday, 1 dts
tinctty announce that l can not give my vote
for Speaker of this House to any one who
believe entertains the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, as applied to the territories of
the United States So much for Mr.Smith
being opposed to slave code"
Mr.. Holman also says that Mr.. Smith,
after receiving every Democratic vote but
three, cast only one vote for Mr.. McCler-
land, Dir. Douglass organ in the House and
the representative of popular sovereignty.

Dg We have not the space to spare to
copy the long article of the Enquirer in
which squatter sovereignty is declared to be
long since exploded. We have already
quoted the clause where the assertion was
made, together with another taking oppo-
site ground. Both seem to be complete
propositions.
We despair of ever establishing any par
ticular charge against our nsighbors by
quoting. from their columns, for the fact is,
they contradict themselves so much that
they are on all sides. They are Douglas
and acknowledgements sovereignty
and anti-popular sovereignty-" everything
by turns, and nothing long,
The Enquirer, judging from the declara-
ton spoken of above, is of pretty much the
same mind, we should judge, in regard to
the pet principle of Senator Douglas, as the
same paper, but former proprietor, was
when he said last December:

A Curious lPrnYer.

A correspondent of the Western Chris.
ian Advocate sends that paper the following:
A reverend gentleman, direct from the in.
terror of Texas, staid at my house few
days, ot the time Millerism was at it's zenith
in Cincinnati. He related to me a rumor
which he had heard in Texas of a man he
met in our streets, as a Milerite preacher.
In Texas, this man professed to be Camp.
belllte preacher, and as such got perm ission
to preach 10 a school.house, and took occa-
sion to abuse all other denominations in
general, and the Methodists in particular.
He said there were men who prolessed to be
called and commssi oned OF God TO preach
the Gospel but that he-the preucher--pre.
tended to no such high credentials. After
preaching Immersion, and abusing all who
would not say amen to his views, being
about to close, wag whispered to him if
he wished some one to close for him, to call
on Mr.. II. He did go. Mr.. H. took the
stand, and gave out hymn. which was sung
and then prayed in this wise.
"Lord,we thank thee that thou hast ever sent
thy ministers among Us; we were very wick.
| ed people before they came; some of US, how.
ever, have re formed. We thank thee that
we believe thou has called, commissioned,
and sent thy ministers 10 preach the un--
searchable riches of Christ; but az for this
fellow, he has told US thou didst not COM
mission him, and we believe him. We
hear strange stories of him. Lord we know
not whether they be true or not; thou knowest
but we hear he went to Galveston a gam.
bier; that afterwards he became preacher;
that the young men who knew him in these
two characters thought them rather incom-
patibie, and in consequence, ducked him in
the bay, from which, we doubt not, he dates
his commission to preach the doctrine he
has proclaimed TO US. We hear also, that
he stole horse at Galveston; we know not
whether it be true, Lord-thou knowest;
but one thing we do know, that is, we know
he stops here with the widow c.,
and we know that no decent man would
stop there"
By this time the preacher was making his
escape, without even dismissing the con-
gregation, and soon after was holding forth
in the big tent Of MiIersm, at Cincinnati.

sweet tones have sounded on my esr-'does
you love God = and oh |! I have come home
to find her in heaven" He bowed his head
and wept, then softly followed the mourning
mother into the shaded parlor. Death had
not kissed even the freshness from the lips
of the sweet child. Death, as il he had no
power to mar such loveliness, had not drawn
one blue tint across the marble temples or
under the closed eyes. Death had not sto.
len one line OF beauty from that heavenly
face--it smiled in spite Of death.
30 !! Antoinette-dear little Antonette," !"
sobbed the strong man-"you found me 10
my ignorance, Ond blessed me with those
hands they were the first pure fingers that
touched me with the touch of love, aud made
my buried heart throb with new life. O!
little Antoinette, you were the first one 10
lead me to my Saviour-on your infant
breath my name was carried up to Christ
0 my lamb, cunst thou not look down upon
me, and see me bend above thee, blessing
even thy insnimate clay? But the tomb
cannot hold thee, infant disciple. Already
she is up there !" he cried, lifting his
streaming eyes. "The brightness of thy
glory, oh Lord God of hosts, falls upon her
temples. She hath led souls to Thee,
mighty Redeemer, and Thou wilt give her o
crown of lfe."
He ceased and bowed his head upon the
ccfin. What Grafton before crowned mon.
archs ever reached the subimity of this
mans offering over the dead form Of q child!
He had been converted through her minis.
trations, and since his entrance into the
gospel ministry he counted those who be.
ieved in Jesus through faith and his minis.
try, by hundreds ; and he laid his trophies in
the name of Jesus, beside the gentle child
who had taught him Christ.
Reader, have not written fiction. The
dust of that child has slept in the green
graveyard where the flowers are springng
to-day, twenty three years. Twenty three
years she has been q sersph in glory
Twenty. three years she has looked upon
Jesus her Saviour and Redeemer. O!what
do you and l see beside this beautiful ser.
uph ! Though we drink of the fountains of
earthly wisdom, we cannot attain to a tthe
of that divine knowledge that fills her cup
of bliss this day. Twenty.,hree years in
the presence Of the Lord of life, going up
and down the steps of light walking and
talking with angels-pure, consecrate, holy!
And may not you and win some stars to
our crowns of eternal rejocings!

The Planet Vulcan.

The new planet, accepted as an accom-
plished fact, is now fairly enrolled among the
stellar divinities by the name Of Vulcan,
and will some day have it's column in cata-
logues of observations, and appear in the
Nautical Almanac. That Vulcan has been
seen from time to time by sundry observers
within the past hundred years, is now con-
firmed by further testimony; but the merit
of the discovery remains with M. Lescar-
bault, who, with rare modesty, has declined
TO attend the banquet which the savans Of
Paris designed to hold in his honor. The
present 10 said to afford favorable opportuni
ty for renewed observation Of the planet;
and with so many eager eyes os ore on the
watch, It will hardly be permitted to escape.
Professor Piazzi Smyth, astronomer royal
for Scotland, sees in the discovery Of Vulcan
a confirmation Of the theory that a large
number Of meteors revolve pretty near to
sun, and by falling in upon that lumnary
maintain its light and heat. We called at.
tention to this theory few years ago, on
its first publication; and recently 10 the ex-
truordinary spot Of brightness observed 10
the sun by Mr.. Darlington in September
last. Professor Smyth considers that in
this latter phenomenon we have an actual
observation OF the falling in Of meteor,
the unusual brightness being occasioned by
the concussiOn. The tremen 1ous shock
may be inferred from the calculated veloci.
y Of the falling body-7,Ooo miles in
minute.

Kindness Never Lost.


81 was escortiDg home the lovely Char
lotte D., 10 whom I was, at the time,
quite devoted; we got into one Of the crowd
ed Avenue cars. Charlotte could scarcely
find room to spread her crinoline and arrange
her voluminous founces; stood up near
her, there being no vacant seat.
After few minutes came in poor wo-
man who disposed basket of clothes on
the platform, and held in her arms q small
child, while a little girl hung to her dress.
She looked tired and weary, but there was
no vacant seat-to be sure Charlotte might
have condensed her founces, but she did
not.
Beside her, however, sat very elegant
and lovely woman, who seemed trying by
moving down closer TO others, to make room
between herself and Miss D. At last
she succeeded, and with the sweetest blush
ever saw, she invited the poor burdened
female to be seated. Charlotte D,
drew her dropery around her, and blushed
too, but it was not pretty blush at oil, che
looked annoyed at the proximity Of the new
conner, who was, however, clean md decent
ly, though thiny clad.
The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap. and wrapped the velvet man
tie around the small, half-frozen little blue
hands.
So great was the crowd that slore seem.
ed TO observe. The child shivered-the
keen wind from the dior blew upon her IN
protected neck. l saw the young lady
quietly take off her shawl, which she softly
put on the shoulders of the little one, the
the mother looking on with confused won
der. After short time she rose 10 leave
the car, and would have removed the shawl ;
but the unknown gently whispered, "No;
keep it on, keep it for her," The woman
did not answer, the conductor hurried her
out, but her eyes swan in tears, which no
one saw but me. | noticed her as she des.
cended to basement and hastily marked
the house.
To shorten the story as much as possible
that lady is now my wife. In the small
incident which introduced her to me, she
showed her real character. A few Gays af-
ter our marriage showed her the blessed
crimson shawl, whichI had redeemed from
it's owner, and shall always keep as me-
mento. There are sometimes pleasant things
to be found in unpleasant Places-certainIy
I may be said to have picked out my wife in
the cars"

General JACAsOM'S Wife.

Many Of oar public men have been bless
ed with wives and mothers who were the or.
naments of their sex, and their quiet and
ennobIing influence contributed largely to
the subsequent greatness of their children
and husbands. Mr. Parton tells the follow
ing story Of General Jackson's wife:
When General Jackson was candidate
for the Presidency, in 1928, not only did the
party opposed to him abuse him for his pub
lie acts, which, if unconstitutional or vic
lent, were legitimate subject of reproba
ton, but they DETAINED the character of his
his wife. On one occasion a newspaper
published in Nashville was laid upon the
Generals table. He glanced over it, and
his eye fell upon on article in which the
character OF Mrs. Jackson was violently as.
sailed. So soon as he read it he sent for his
trusty old servant, Dunwoodie.
"Saddle my horse," said he to him in o
whisper, "and put my holsters on him.
Mrs. Jackson watched him, and, though she
heard not word, she thought she saw mis-
chief IN his eyes. The General went ou,
alter few moments, when she took up the
paper and understood everything. She ran
out to the south gate of the yard of the
Hermitage, by which the General would have
to pass. She had not been there more than
few seconds before the General rode up
with the countenance of madmsn. She
placed herself before his horse and cried
cut:
20, General don't 60 to Nashville
Let that poor editor live-let that poor editol
live - He replied "How came you to
know what am going for 7" She answer
ed: "I saw it all in his paper after you
went out; put up your horse and go back"
He replied furiously: "But | will go-get
out of my way" Instead of doing this, she
grasped his bride with both hands. He
cried to her, 81 say, let 60 my horse; III
have his hearts blood; the villain that re-
vles my wife shall not live"
She grasped the reins but the tighter, and
began TO expostulate with him, saying that
she was the one that ought to be angry, but
that she forgave her prosecutors from tile
bottom of her heart, and prayed for them
that he should forgive, if he hoped to be for.
given. At last, by her reasoning, her en-
treaties and tears, she so worked upon her
husband that he seemed moliied to q certain
extent. She wound up by saying, "No,
General, you shall not take the life even Of
my revler; you dare not do it, for it is writ.
ten, Vengeance is mine, will repay, saith
the Lord"
The iron.nerVed hero gave way before the
earnest pleading of bis beloved wife, and
replied: 81 yield to you; hut had 1t not
been for you, and the words of the Almigh-
ty, the wretch should not have lived an
hour" ...

GTA good anecdote is told Of man
named Bently, confirmed drunkard, who
would never drink with friend or in public,
and always bitterly denied, when a little too
steep, ever tasting liquor. One day some
bad witnesses concealed themselves in bis
room' and when the liquor was running
down his throat, seized him with his arm
crooked and his mouth open, and holding
him fast, asked with an air of triumph:
"Ah, Bently, we have caught you at last
You never drink, hs I"
No one would suppose but that Bently
would have acknowledged the corn not he;
with the most grave and inexpressible face,
he calmly, and in dignifed msnner, said
"Gentlemen, my name is not Bently u
