Ae-a-lAaA AeAA n4AliAas
The Boston Transcript republishes some
extracts from its correspondence describing
Lincoln's debate with Douglas at Salisbury,
Illinois, in the fall of 1858. The letter, says
the Transcript was written by the President
OF College in Illinois-a gentleman well
known in New England and highly esteemed
in Boston. Ailer stating the reception of the
rival champions, the writer continues
The men are entirely dissimilar. Mr..
Douglas is a thick-set, finely built, courageous
man, and has an air Of self-confdence that
does not little to inspire his supporters with
hope. Mr.. Lincoln is tall, lank man, awk-
ward, apparently diiIident, and when not
speaking has neither frmness in his counte-
nance nor fire in his eye.
Mr.. Lincoln has rich, silvery voice, enun-
ciates with great distinctness, and has fine
command Of language. He commenced by a
review Of the points Mr. Douglas had made.
In this he showed great tact, and his retorts
though gentlemanly, were sharp, and reached
to the core the subject in dispute. While he
gave but little time to the work Of review,
we did not feel that anything was omitted
which deserved attention.
He then proceeded to defend the Repnbli,
can party. Here he charged Mr.. Douglas with
doing nothing for freedom with disregards
ing the rights and interests of the colored
mani and, for about forty minutes he spoke
with power that we have seldom heard
equalled. There was grandeur in his
thoughts, comprehensiyeness in. his argu-
ments, and a binding force in his conclusions,
which were perfectly irresistible. The vast
throng were silent as death every eye was
fixed upon the speaker, and all gave him Sc
rious attention. He was the tall man elo-
quent; his countenance glowed with anima-
ton, and his eye glistened with an intelli-
gence that made it lustrous. He was no
longer awkward and ungainly, but graceful,
bold, commanding.
Mr. Douglas had been quietly smoking up
to this time but here he forgot his cigar and
listened with anxious attention When he
arose to reply he appeared excited, disturbed,
and his second effort appeared to us vastly in
ferior to his first. Mr.. Lincoln had given him
a great task, and Mr.. Douglas had not time
to answer him, even if he had the ability.

THE SEKPLE SRoRET.-Twenty clerks in a
store Twenty hands in printing Office
Twenty young men in village. All want
to get along in the world, and all expect TO
do so. One Of the clerks will rise to be a
partner and make fortune. One Of the COM
positors win own a newspaper and become an
influential and prosperous citizen. One of
the apprentices win come TO be a MASTER
builder. One of the villagers viii get a
handsome farm and live like a patriarch.-
But which is destined to be the lucky indi-
yidual 2 Lucky? There is no luck about it.
The thing is almost as certain as the Rule Of
Three. The young fellow who will distance
his competitors is be who masters his bust
ness, who preserves his integrity, who lives
clearly and purely, who never gets in debt,
who gains friends by deserving them, and
puts bis money into a savings bank. There
ere some ways to fortune that look shorter
than this old dusty highway. But the staunch
men Of the community, the men who achieve
something really worth having, good fortune,
good name, and a serene old age, all go this
road.

A NEsRo's OPINION OF THE JAPAEEsE.-
The Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Journal hes the following respecting the jap
anese:
Their personal appearanceis IS not at all pre-
possessing, and no wonder that defendant of
ETHIOPIA who polishes boots at Wizards was
disappointed when he saw them. "KiF he
exclaimed ''dem de Japanese. Wot de white
folks has made so much fuss about? Why,
dey's muffin but lot of little dried up yaller
folks Don't see what de white folks means
TO make such fuss about dem for, widout
dey means TO sell EN- and if dey does dey
won't bring much He was correct. For
get that they come from the mystic land sur
rounded BY preiudices as by a wall Of brass
di5miss the hopes of a great and lucrative
trade-and they are but lank, dwindled down,
ungainly figures, with cunning eyes big
mouths, shaYen heads, and far less imposing
presence than the Cinnamon who have of late
years besn seen in our cities.

swans for the \. Y. Central Park.

Twelve Swans, the gift of the city of Ham
burg to the municipal authorities of New
York, sent with special view to placing
them in the Central Park, have been landed
after prosperous voyage, strong and hearty.
They consist of six of each sex, and a man
came out with them to initiate the Park
keepers into the method of their living. The
Post says:
The swans of Hamburg, it must be known,
are very independent birds, and are living
entirely on their own income Like the pic
cons Of Venice they are much petted by the
people, but unlike them, they are not depend
ent for their support on popular caprice
Indeed, there is very pretty legend con-
nocted with the swans of Hamburg 1t is
this:
A gentleman many years ago, an old Ham
burger left a very curious legacy to the city.
Like Walter of Vogelweid, who left a bequest
to feed daily on his grave the birds that had
their haunts about his abbey walls, this old
citizen left goodly estate, the income of
which was to be devoted 10 the maintenance
of one hundred and fifty swans, which were
TO occupy one of the largest of the bodies of
water that abound in Hamburg The num-
Der was never to be less than one hundred
and fifty, and in case it was exceeded, the
provisions of the endowment were such as TO
allow the city to make honorary presents to
other municipalities of the surplus birds, but
never, on any account to sell them. Acting
under these directions, the swans have been
carefully attended to and the Hamburg au-
thorities have occasionally presented some OF
them to European cities, though this is the
first time that an American city has been so
favored. The authorities of Hamburg sent
out several months ago TO inquire Of the Com
missioners of the Central Park whether the
gift would be accepted, and the reply was of
course in the affirmative
In their native city the swans pass their
time almost necessarily in the water, very
rarely coming to land. They sleep on the
water, catch fish therein, and in the winter
are driven to one corner, where their constant
motion prevents the surface from freezing
They are perfectly tame, and will eat cake and
apples from the hand, to the vast delight of
Hamburg children and Of strangers. During
the voyage the swans sent to New York were
chiefly fed on barley.
