The DOUGLAS Jubilee.

The Douglas Jubilee.
The news of the nomination of STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS was received here on Sunday
morning, and gave intense satisfaction to
the entire Democracy, and in two hours
after the reception of the intelligence a
large flag va. seen streaming from the
roof of the National Hotel, with the name
of DOUGLAS inscribed thereon in large
letters The flag was prepared and raised
By EL1JAH X, RAND, Esq, one of the most
Jealous and reliable Democrats Of the Coun-
ty.
On Monday evening the rejoicing began
in earnest, and although drilling rain
WAS falling all the time, the streets were
thronged with Democrats until after mid
night.
About six o'clock the Ball WAS opened
BIZ the firing Of Cannon. At dark large
bon-fres were lighted upon prominent
corners, and kept well fed until midnight
Simultaneous with the lighting Of the fires
thirty-six buildings were brilliantly ilu-
minated with not less than four thousand
five hundred burners, which kept our
principle streets in almost MONDAY light
until II o'clock.
AT o'clock our German Bass Band
was in requisition and continued for five
hours to parade the streets, attended by
procession of FIVE or six hundred people,
who made the weikin ring again and
again with shouts for DoUGLAs. 1t has
never before been our fate to witness more
intense enthusiasm and JOY than that dis
played on this occasion. The Republican
leaders alone looked gloomy, and well
they might, for they have been unable to
get up the least particle Of enthusiasm for
The poor old Rail Splitter, or even to hold
a ratification meeting over the slaughter
of their favorte SEWARD. 1t viii be i'm
possible for us to mention in detail all
those who celebrated on this occasion, or
all that transpired, but will content our
selves with mentioning wha. was most
prominent. Among the most active and
Jealous in arranging this hasty celebration
were our Democratic Coroner, TuoMss
RoDIxsov, G. C. BARNus, L. X E,xD, W
D. UIrcrKoCK, Henry BERE m, MICHAEL

This speechot Summers is the great Re-

A NATURAL ALLY.-Msny of the promi-

out enthusiastically in support of Mr. LIN
COLIN. Mr.. DAME! Ullman, the prince Of
the order in the United States, and for
mer candidate Of the party for Governor
in New York, is making speeches for the
Republican nominees, and adopts the tick
ct as being one worthy the support Of this
prcscriptive order. Mr. Ullrnan believes
that the foreign born ci,izan should reside
in the Union for twenty-one years before
becoming a voter, and this view is gener
ally held by that party. Let our natural
lied citizens consider these things, and we
are certain they have too much intelligence

MULES IS CENTRAL AMERICA.-One OF
the most striking characteristics Of The
mule is lis aversion to the ass, and the
pride'he takes in his relationship 10 the
horse; which instincts are met BY ottru-
sivenoss in the ass, and by Indifference 10
the horse. If an ass at any tirne-urged
by tho vanity peculiar TO It's race as reIat-
cd TO the mule happens to fall in With 3
drove of mules, he will, in all probability,
be kicked and lamcd by his proud relatives.
A horse, on the contrary, takes djstin
guishci position in drove Of mules. The
latter crowd around him, and follow his
movements, exhibiting violent jealousy
each trying to stand nearest to their high
bred relative. The instinct is employed
~ keep bgethor tho droves Of mules, on n
Journey or at pasture, by putting mare
10 the drove, with bell round her neck,
end called the bell marc. This animal IS
lei day and night by cord, and the whole
drove is thus kept under control, and will
not leave their queen. It Is, therefore,
very difficult to separate the drove. Tbs
man who leads the mare is instructed, IN
case Of an attack from the Indians, to leap
upon the back Of the animal and take ref
uge in tho wagon encampment, whittier
the drove is surs 10 follow him. Even If
the Indians succeed in separating any
from the drove, they fnd it difficult to
carry them of Tho animal necessarily
attempts to turn back, and the travellers
are thus enabled to overtake the robbers,
and recover the stolen animals. The In
dian-, in consequence, use every means TO
get possession Of the mare; aud If they
.uccesd in tina, the who,e drove is lost to
the owners.

Two CREEKS Our duties IS Census
Taker brought us to the north eastern part
Of Maritowoc county last week, a region
we never visited before, and We were agree
ably surprised to find such a prosperous
and thriving locality. The village of
7Uo Creeks is located near the north line,
directly on the banks of Lake Michigan,
and is lively little burgh. The proprie-
tors are Measrs. PFIsrEa & Co, OF Mil
waukeo, who have expended a large
amount Of money in the locality. The
active man Of the town is J. UsSRY LUKE,
Esq, who suPerintends and controls all
the business. 4 store, stocked with all
kinds Of dry goods, &c, is doing fair
trade. A steam saw mill is constantly
ripping up logs, and well built pier,
stretching into the lake, is a constant re
cip!ent for Usmlock Bark, Cord Wood,
and other product. Of the country, which
are shipped to Milwaukee and other Lake
ports. The village contains some twenty
or thirty houses, and a good Hotel. Mr.
LuDKE is purchasing large quantities Of
Bark from the farmers around there, pay
ing them 81 so per cord. lie has now
over 1900 corda piled up, and expects to
ship three or four thousand cords during
the season. When the country adjacent
grows little in age, Ttoo Creeks cannot
fail to lie point of importance, and is
cu'erprising propIiotoss reap fair reward
FOR the money invested. Mr., LUKE is a
thorough going business man and gem
tIensn, ard we beg him and his clerk to
accept our warm lhauAs for the raany acts
Of kindness extended TO us.

"DuTing a recent extensive tour in the in.
terror of the State was distressed to witness
the blighting effects of the drought. No rain
of any sequence had occurred for near six
months, and four. ffths of all the crops had
been literally parched to death. Farmers had
no grain, oats, hay, corn or potatoes the lat

per bushel, commanded 81 and 81 in the in

Mail Company, which traverse the State from
the Arkansas line to Syracuse, the present
terminus of the Pacific Railroad a distance of
several hundred miles and are obliged to dash
on through heat and dust, are the greatest suf.
ferers.
