The returns from the election for St
Louis Congressional District show very
close vote between Blair and Barrett for
the short term. and the election of Blair
for the long term.
This is most suspicious result. Tt es.

tain soon TO be by far the most important
city of the Slave States-as citadel ol
the Free Labor srmy in the heart of the
Slave region. st. Louis yindicates the
right of Free Discussiou-the right to op.

Extension of Slavery. Noble St. Louis

AN EYE WITNESS.

"A clever correspondent of the Milaoau-
kee Seminal writes of an incident on the
Hudson River Railroad in this wise. An
old man sat BY his side, and, finally ad-
dressing him, the Milwaukeean said:
"Sir, you seem to have travelled great
distance p
'Yes; some two thousand miles"
"Ab, indeed. What part of the Wesa"
iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin"
"Then you can express an opinion as
to the result of the Presidential canvass,

sense. The Republicans enlist all the
sentiment; they are sentimental set"
Seeing that l was more amused than
surprised, he continued

Political Snit.e.

The LouisgiHe Journal is particularly
caustic on the Breckinridge faction, as
the following will testify:
Why are the Brechinridge and Lane
men getting up Breckinridge and Lane
tickets in some of the on-slaveholding
States i i: possible that they hope to
carry any of those States! Are they
such dupe-, dolts, simpletons, blockhesds =
fools, asses. as to indulge the slightest ex-
pectation that they can succeed in even
one non-slagehoding State Is there e
man among them who would accept wa
ger of two to one, or ten to one, that they
will win in a solitary nou-slayeboldiDp

excepted

a Remarkable Case.

A strange affair recently occurred al
Columbia, Lorsin County, Ohio. John
Squires, and cousin of bis named Wal.
lace Walrath-the latter not more than
oineteen years old, bad been in the habit
Of sleeping together. One morning Wal.
rath left the house early, then returned to
bis shamber, then came down among the
family. saying that be was afraid be had
hurt bis cousin in bis sleep, for that be
laid in bed covered with blood. An ex-
animation disclosed the fact that young
Squires had been fatally beaten with the
stock of gun standing in the room, and,
though still alive. there was no hope OF
saving him. Walrath insists that he
knew nothing of the deed, and that, if be
did it, be must have been asleep. He
was arrested, however, and committed to
Jail.

Giving a Child Pins.

The Wilmington Gazette says: The
circumstances which this item records,
occurred in Brand ywine Hundred, of this
county some weeks ago. but having seen
no mention made of it we deem that 1t
NAV be OF interest to our readers: Mr..
Lewis Weldon and lady have a fine
little child, now sone six months old, for
which they procured colored girl of u
or IA years of age as nurse. After the
girl had charge of the child short time,
It became puny, sick and frctful with We
ry unusual symptoms, which cau'ed the
mother to suspicion that something was
wrong. In order to satisfy herself, Mrs
W. one morning gave out that she was
going to visit neighbor, aud would be
zone for several hours. She then secre-
ted herself where she could observe the
girls movements. She had been watch
ing but few minutes, when, to her un-
peakable horror she saw the girl get a
large pincussion and begin putting the
pips in the child's mouth and trying to
make it swallow them. The girl was i'm
mediately secured and physician called
in, who by application of proper RENE
dies succeeded 10 dislodgng six OF eight
pius of large size from the chlld's stom.
acb, while several more were extracted
from it's mouth and. throat It's believ-
ed that she gave the baby from time to
time about two dozen Of the pins, but IN
der careful m management they have nearly
or quite all been extracted, aud 1T no"
aourishes finely. though its life was for
long time despaired Of. The girl was
sent away, but utterly refused to tell how
many pins she had given tho child. OF
what vas her object in doing go 1t is
believed, however, that she became tired
of nursing it, and took this plan to put i
out Of the way.

The Chattahoochie Dried Un.

If anybody has any doubt as to the
fearful and alarming extent of the present
unprecedented dry Summer, such skeptic
has but to take survey of the Chatta-
hoocbie river above the City Mills. The
water has retired from the broad area usu.
ally occupied as the bed OF the stream, nd
appears to be rushing wildly aud M adly on
over its bed of rocks, in channel about
as wide as an ordinary creek. As far up
as the eye can reach there is nothing but
barren ledges of rocks, some OF which
have probably not been visible before in
the memory of the present generation

An Item for Housekeepers.

The liquid glue made as spesiality,
and extensively advertised as secret
preparation, is very simply made, and
costs very little. Eight ounces of glue,
dissolved in half piut of water, in
wide mouthed bottle, cost but few cents.
Having dissolved it by immer,ing the bot.
tie in q vessel of water until the desired
result takes place. pour into the mixture
two-and "a half ounces of nitric acid, stir.
ring until all is incorporated. Glue
should be used that costs forty cents 8
pound. The cost of tbe acid i. merely
nominal. For few cents, therefore, amp
house keeper may prepare as much Of the
article as would cost dollar and hale
or two dollars when purchased in little
bottle. The Celebrated Prepared Glue
advertised in the papers, is nothing more
than this. 1t is, however, a valuable
composition, as it never ferments, and
will even mend porcelain perma nently,
providing it does not come in contact With
water.

sBNo art. excepting chat Of nbo

s1rNo art, excepting that of photo
graphy, has progressed and improved so
rapidly as that of dentistry. Forty years
ago it was not distinct profession, for
all doctors then officiated as tooth -pullers.
with turnkey levers of the most rude de-.
scription; and as for supplying the place
OF old teeth with new ones, it was never
done at all. In 1890 there were only 80
practising dentists in the United States;
IN 1850 there were 2,923; at present there
are about 5000. The invention of arti.
fetal teeth has given wonderful i'm petus
to this most useful and bene6 6cial art.

Something about skunks.

Skunks have history, as many New

year or two ago they were exported to
Europe in such quantities as to promise
the publication of our atmosphere from
one OF the most disagreeable odors, be-
fore the elaPse of many years; but this

found themselves skinned to the amount
of S25, 600, and even twice that 6gure-

being considered worthless, skunk skins
rose iD price to 5 so each. Ships were
freiShted with, and fortunes made out Of
them for few months.
But au uplucky snow storm in Russia,
during which one of these collars or cspes
was drawn over the vearer's bead, proved
fatal to the trade. The disagreeable o.
dor leaked out. Now, it is said, as many
as $4,000 of these skins are slowed away
in London without being able to ind 9

The Meteor----scientifo Calculations.

Scientific observerers ct Yale, Union
and Troy Universities, variously compute
the height of the meteor above the earth
at from fifty to eighty miles. Its speed
relative to tho earth, is computed to have
been from five to eleven miles per second
Its course was in the same direction as
that of the earth, which, SO to speak, II
overlook and passed. This would make
its absolute velocity in space somewhere
between 10000 and 10000 miles ar
hour.

case Of child, two years of age, daugh-

by snake. One day Mrs. Davis found
the snake in the arms of the little girl,

The mother was naturally much alarmed
by the apparent peril in witch she saw
her child, and seized stick to destroy
the reptile The snake slowly retreated,
showed its tongue, and hissed at the U1oth

of its parent to desist, that she allowed
the snake to retreat to its hiding place
The child apparently thinks Of nothing
else but her companion the snake, and,
under the fascination. is suffering phys

the meetings, which take place as fire.
qucntIy as the child can get out of the
house, be gradually Interrupted, until

says:
"Mr Archbold reviewed the whole his
tory of Congressional legislation upon
Slavery In the Territories, from the time
of the formation Of the Government down
to the presen ut time. He gave the Dred
Scott case searching review, and exposed
its hideou-ness in a convincing and N as
terly manner. Upon this sbranch of the
argument be was particularly happy in
bis illustrations, which was abundant J

nearly four hours did he keep the crow
