The Most TIMIp of thai class of men
who shape their politics TO avert D:sunion
which they are led to apprehond from the
threats of Southern Fire Eaters, must
surely begin 10 perceive that these threats
arc merely made for effect, OF men of their
temperament. 1t is unnecessary To reeag
to the past--to the quiet backing down OF
the braggarts on the election OF Speaker
Banks, after they had fairly sworn against
submission TO such e ''calamity to the
more recent repetition Of those threats, and
a like quiet acquiescence, when Speaker
Pennin gton, who had received Mr.. Sher-
mans steady support, was elected, and
proceeded at once to make the dctested
Mr.. Sherman the Leader Of the House
Pass these by, and look at the course Of
the fierce Yancey aud other political swash-
bucklers, fairly swallowing their threats Of
Disunion-of Vice President Breckenridge
in fastening TO the barbecue stump in
Kentucky, to purge himself of the charge
of conniving at Disunion And last Of all,
see Mr. Douglas himself Northern man,
boldly confronting the issue in the very
hot-bed of Disunion fanaticism, and telling
the Shareholders that the Union cannot be
dissolved-that it is too strong to be i'm
perrilled by the wildly wicked designs Of
selfish, ambitious leaders-and he the
while greeted with loud and reiterated ap-
pause, from throngs of hearers at Norfolk,
Petersburg, and elsewhere in Virginia aud
North Carolina
Surely sensible conservative voters need
no further evidence that this Disunion cry
is a mere bugbear; and we are mistaken il
many Of them do not so shape THEN future
political course as to manifest their indig
nation at being thus trifed with by the
arrogant and Unsuitable slave Power, which
seems always to presume that Northern
people are mainly seryiceable toadles

Our Mass Meeting.

\ mass meeting of the friends of Lin
coin, Hamlin, Curtin and the County
Ticket came off on Tuesday evening last,
and it was decidedly the largest and most
respectable political assemblage that ever
convened in this county. Delegations
were present from almost every township,
and enthusiasm ran mad.
The meeting was called to order at about
y o'clock, by the appointment of John
Williams, ESQ, as President \ large
number of Vice Presidents, and Secre-
tary, were also appointed.
The opening speech was made by \.
{, Mullin, Esq, who, in some brief re-
marks, reviewed the course Of the Loco
Foco party for the last four years
Hon. s. s. Blair was then introduced to
the meeting. He proceeded to address
the assemblage in a speech of almost two
hours length on the great principles of
the day. His discussion of Protection was
clear, lucid and satisfactory. His remarks
were well received, and he was repeatedly
and rapturously applauded.
Abraham Kopelin, Esq, next took the
stand, and delivered a mastery speech
He stated that he had attended the Dou-
glas and the Breckinridge meetings the
night previous, and that he heard the Dou-
Slas orators declare and affirm that Breck-
inridge could not be elected while the
breckenridge men as positively declared
that Douglas couldn't win. Upon fair
principles Of logic he deduced the fact
that Lincoln stood a very fair chance
His remarks were we'll received.
Our able State Senator, Col Louis W.
Hall, was then loudly called for. lie
arose, and made some neat and pertinent
remarks. He stated that Little Blair
would give good account of herself in
the coming fight He was enthusiastic
cally applauded.
After the speeches, the torchlight pro-
ccssion was formed The members of
the Ebensburg Lincoln, Hamlin and
Curtin Club had prepared large number
OF torches, transparencies, mottoes, &c,
which, preceded by the Ebensburg and
Wilmore bands, were borne by willing
hands throughout the principal streets.
They presented an imposing appearance,
and created much good-natured enthusi-
asm.
The procession then proceeded to the
Mountain House" where the bands ser
enaded Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Hall Loud
and repeated calls were made for the latter
gentleman, who came forward and rcspon-
ded in his usual eloquent style
Three times three, which made the
welkin ring, were then given for Lincoln,
Hamlin, Curtin, the County Ticket, and
our Glorious Cause; after which the meet
ing adjourned.
The meeting was one Of the most i'm
posing and orderly bodies ever convened
in Ebensburg, and we hope that it will
show conelusivcly that the Star OF the
West, when tried next fall, will not be
found wanting.

THE S0cIAK AND MORAL CONDITION
OF THE JApANEsH.-Froma an interesting
letter of R. IT, Dana, Jr., now in Japan,
to the II. Y E'0eaits3 Pest, we make tho
following extract: r-
nThe social and moral condition Of the
Japanese presents curious problems, and
what seems to us 10 be anomalies. That
sense OF propriety which suggests neatness
in the person and the house, the table and
the bed, is to be reconciled with an alb
sence or ignorance of modesty unequalled
among any people who have made the
first steps III civilization.
"Te are TO understand how it Is that
people who in all classes punish adultery
in the wife by death or perpetual isno-
miny, and in the upper classes guard the
honor of a daughter with the sword, sho'd
take their wives-yes, even the gentry
and nobles-from the jorogas. No peo-
pie are more neat in their persons, bath
ing daily-the poorest of them-ln winter
as we'll as summer, and warm baths are as
frequent here as drinking shops III Eng
land and America. Yet the sexes bathe
together, and the baths and platforms on
which they dry and dress themselves are
as open to every passer-by as our butch
ers' shops Not only is the veil between
the sexes rent, but the veil which pro
tects other decencies Of life. The maxim
seems to be that whatever is necessary to
be done, or is known to exist, there need
be no attempt to conceal.
"Again, while you are relieved from the
offensive sights of abandoned women who
beset the streets Of English and American
cities, the jorogas are legalized and made
as respectable as possible. There; found
lings or the daughters of the poor or un
fortunate, or needy, or less scrupulous,
are bound as apprentices, and are cduca-
ted according to the style and degree Of
the establishment, in the necessary learn
ing, and in the accomplishments at boar
ding schools From these places, where
the prices over the doors furnish the only
restrictions upon the admission Of all
men, are to come many Of the confidential
servants, and in cases not a few nor dis
reputably esteemed, the wives and moth
ers of the better classes"

\ New NYSTERY-h Wisconsin paper
called the Taylor Falls Reporter, tells the
following story, and vouches for its accu-
racy The editor says strange as the facts
may appear, he does not doubt their truth
in any particular, as they are well authon-
ticatcd by many witnesses in whose vcraci
ty he places implicit confidence:
On Tuesday, while Mir. Corey and his
two sons were at work in field near his
house, their attention was arrested by
smoke which appeared to rise from his
stable. They hurried to the barn as quickly
as possible, and discovered pile Of straw
near by on fire. This was Immediately
extingushed, and as they were returning
to the field, the stable caught in different
places, which, by considerable exertion,
was put out Before they had left the
premises, however, another fire was dis
covered underneath the granary IN pile
of boards The bottom board was burned
nearly through, but the others were not
even scorched. After this was put out,
Mr.. Corey sent one of the boys into the
house to ascertain whether all was safe
there He Immediately came out and told
his father that the house was on fire. Mr..
corey lmhetNaVeIy ran up stitliS, Nhcfe ne
found some clothes that his wife had laid
away the day before burning. They were
thrown ont of the window, and from that
time until late at midnight, the fire broke
all over the house. First paper would
catch, then mosquito bar, then "A straw
bed, etc, and it was only by the utmost
exertions of Mr. Corey, aided by two gen
tlemen, Messrs. Hale and Treadwell, that
the building was saved. The fire contin-
ued at intervals until Sunday, the lst ult.
and attracted many visitors. We shall
not attempt to give a cause for this won
derful freak OF nature, but will leave the
question to be solved by some Of our phi
Iosophers. These facts, us we learn them
from an eye witness, are true, and if any
one can solve the mystery we shall be glad
- hear from them.

CURE FOR IN-GRowING Nails 1t is
stated, by correspondent that cauteriza-
ton by hot tallow is an immediate cure
for ingrowing nails. lie says: | put a
small piece Of tallow in a spoon, and heat
ed it over a lamp until it became very hot
and dropped two or three drops between
nail and granulati9ns. The effect is most
magical. Pain and tenderness are at once
relieved, and in Few days the granula-
ations all 90, leaving the diseased parts,
dry, and destitute of all feeling, and the
edge of the nail exposed so as to admit
of being pared away without any incon-
veniencc. have tried the plan repeat
edly since, with the most satisfactory re-
suits The operation causes little if any
pain, if the tallow is properly heated

\ PENNsYLVANIAN KILLED BY \
GRIzZLY BEAR IN CALIFORNIA.-On the
25th Of June last, a young man named
Barkclcy Woodward, a native Of Pennsyl-
vania, was killed in an encounter with Il
grizzly bear, ncar San Antonio, Montgom-
cry county, California. \ companion of
his narratcs the particulars Of the affair as
follows:
at was on Monday, the 10Th Of June,
that this man left the place where he was
encamped to 90 in search Of some cattle
which appeared to be missing. While on
his rambles, he came upon the tracks OF Il
grizzly bear, and followed them into the
mountains as far as he could ride. Then
he dismounts, ties his horse to a tree, takes
his rifle and follows IN the tracks Of the
dangerous animal until he overtakes it; he
then goes to within twenty feet of it and
fires from behind a rock. He leaves his
rifle leaning against the rock and makes
for some trees, but the bear is too fast for
him; he has not even the time to use his
revolver. The bear throws him to the
ground and chews his head and face near
ly to pieces, he being left entirely blind
In that most horrible condition he wan
dered for about three quarters Of d mile
down the creek, towards where his horse
was tied, at times walking, at times rolling
and tumbling down the rough rocks, until
through exhaustion lie lay down and died
In that state he was fund four days after
being missed.
I have taken the pains to send you this

PIcKpoCKETs AND THEIR PRACTIcE

PICKPoCKETS AND THEIR Practices.
The New York Tribune publishes an
article on pickpockets. 1t says it is not
an unusual thing for an expert to start
from New York with scarcely any funds,
travel directly through to New Orleans or
some Of the Western cities, and immedi
ately return with sufficient money to ena-
BILE him to live in idlencss several months.
These are particularly afraid Of the Detec-
tives, and will seldom attempt Job when
they know them to be near. 1t frequently
occurs that at places of amusement thief
will present himself to a Detective, who
may be there, and beg to be allowed to 20
inside. He promises faithfully not to
work the audience, and if the Detective
wishes, he viii wait till all the people are
out of the building before taking his de-
parture. If the officer grants him permis-
sion, the thief pays his money, goes inside
and seats himself in an obscure corner.

POWER OF a NANIE.-As Tom Sayers
was recently driving along the Hollowell
road, near London, the wheel of his chaise
came in contact with that of a cart, and
whose driver put his whip across Toms
shoulders. This was too much for the
champion he ali9hted and promptly hauled
the carman from his cart The Jaryey
rejoined by telling Tom to the ground
Hereupon the bystanders, recognizing Say
ers, shouted: Halo, Tom, you have got
hold of another Heenan," The sound of
Tom Sayers' name was enough for the car
man, who quickly mounted his "Dobbin

he had Caught a Tartar" but was not
deslrous to Investigate further the pecu-
liarities Of his catch
