A number of Democratic papers have
been charging that Lincoln voted agains.
supplies for the army during the Mexican
War. The testimony of Stephen a.
Douglas ought to be sufficient to dry
up the Douglas papers on that charge.
though we presume the character of the
witness would render it inconclusive with
the National Democracy. Here it is.
however, let it go for what it is worth
Il never charged him (Lincoln) with
voting against the supplies. in my life,
because | knew he was not in Congress
when they were voted. The war was
commenced on the 18th day of May,
1916, and on that day we appropriated in
Congress, ten millions Of dollars, and fif-
ty thousand men, TO prosecute it. Dur
ing the same session we voted more men
and more money, so that by the time Mr.
Lincoln entered Congress we had enough
money to carry on the war, and had no
occasion TO vote for any more. - Doug

A Great Bore.

The great gun cast at Fort Pitt Foun-
dry some months ago is completed Af-
ter having been turning round in its lathe
for about three months, it may now be
seen rolling along O'Hara-st, on its way
from the foundry to the Pennsylvania
railroad The bore is l 8 inches diane
ter, and about Id feet long. 1t is large
enough to hold 16 bushels, and stout
broad shouldered man may enter it and
pass down to the bottom. While under
going the different processes of boring.
turning and planning, the gun had turned
round in its lathe about 65,O8O times,
and some parts of its exterior surface
moved rod at each turn, making the
whole distance which some parts of the
iron have travelled, while in the lathe,
more than two hundred miles. Tie gun
is now encircled by two massive rings.
six feet in diameter, and one foot of face,
which are secured by set screws. The
gun serves as an axle, and the rings act
as wheels, and roll along together on a
heavy wooden railroad. Holes are cast
in the face of the wheels to receive iron
handspikes. Eight men with the aid of
crate and pulley, move the whole along
with ease. On arriving at the railroad
the gun will be suspended between two
eight-wheeled platform cars. from truss
ed beams, which are so arranged on the
cars that the whole will be equally dis
tributed on each of the sixteen wheels,
each wheel bearing 5000 pounds, ex-
elusive of the car ar-platforms and trussel

the gun to Washington City. where it
will be transferred to a vessel, which will
deliver it at Fort Monroe PHs5urg

The Last Hours of Theodore Parker.

A letter from Florence to Prof. New.
man, dated May 11th, gives the follow
ing interesting particulars respecting the
decease of Theodore Parker:
Il have sad news to communicate
Our dear, suffering friend, Theodore
Parker, died yesterday evening. Yet
there never was an easier end to life
but lately full of vigor. saw him about
three hours before he died, lying calm
ly, while life was ebbing away uncon-
sciously to himself. He left written di-
rections for his funeral, limiting to five
persons the attending him to the grave.
of whom am one Many Americans
here are expressing their wish to appear
as mourners but it is thought right to
abide by his instructions. He desired
the first eleven verses Of the sermon on
the Mount (the blessings of Jesus) to be
read over his grave; and then plain
gray stone with his name and age, and
nothing farther of inscription. Mr.. Gun
ningham, Boston Unitarian minister.
will read the passage. He is sincere
friend and admirer Of Parker's We hope
to get cast taken of Mr.. Parker to day
Mrs. Parker, his poor, gentle wife, has
hitherto borne up well. Miss Stevenson,
who has so long resided with them, was
with him to the last. She thinks, from
the peculiar tenderness of his manner yes
terday, that he knew he was dying. He
has been dreamy for some days, and
talked ramblingy of two Theodore Par
kers. one here and one planted in Bos-
ton, who would finish his work perhaps
true thought, mystically expressed.
Among his last we'll connected words
were these 'Of course, YOU know am
not afraid to die, though l wished to live
and finish much work that | longed to
do. | had great powers committed 10
me, and have but half used them
Since writing this | have seen him dy-

An interesting letter from New York
appears in the Davenport Gazette of a
late date. Ii states that there is a great
rush of emigration from Europe at this
time. The Irish ships come full. and
the exodus from Germany, growing out
of the unsettled state of affairs there, has
just commenced. Sweden expects to

A Mad stone.

An Irishman named Joseph Shepherd,
living near Clinton, was recently attack
ed by large mad dog and bitten severe.
ly in several places. He had recourse
to gentleman Of the name OF Turner
Evans, residing in Paris, in Linn county,
Tor an application of mad stone in his
possession. The following description
OF the stone, with the mode OF using it.
we clip from the Marion Herald
The stone is about as large rs a small
hickory nut, is of whitish color, and is
full of small cells or pores. something
like honeycomb. The manner of ap-
plying it is as follows 1t is dropped into
warm milk and water until of the same
temperature as the blood of the patient.
\ small puncture is made with a needle
or lancet near one of the wounds +. the
stone is then applied. and If the dog is
mad II will adhere TO the flesh. otherwise
1t will drop off In this case it was tried
upon the leg Immediately little streaks
Of fine red were seen all around the stone,
and pointing toward it. The patient
said he felt kind of twitching in his
veins throughout the whole system. As
soon as the stone gets filled with the
venom, IL drops Oft, and is put into the
milk and water. which becomes turbid,
and IN some instances separates. the milk

the stone refuses TO adhere. In this IN
stance 1t was applied nine times.
Another peculiarly about this opera
ton is this. around the wounds the flesh
was nearly black. with greenish tinge
As soon as the stone began 10 draw. this
disappeared, not only from the wound
near the incision. but from those on the

Evans informs Us that out Of eighty ca.

horses. cattle. &c. have been cured -
