The FROG SroRY.-We have already told
our readers that some of the Toledo (Ohio)
ladies swallowed live frogs as a remedy for
consumption. This has been doubted BY
many: but the Toledo Times, of the Goth ult.,
confirms the statement thus:
Some question having arisen among GU,
exchanges as to the truth of the statement
that a female of the city is in the habit of
swallowing six live frogs daily, as a remedy
tor consumption, we will simply state that
there are at the present time more than six
ladies' of this city swallowing live frogs daily,
IN hopes of a permanent eradication of that
disease, and if we may credit the statements
Of our practizing physicians-they are our

appeared to be a laboring man, perhaps a

evidence OF mureerous treatment, having
several cuts on the head, and a knife-wound
IN the side. No papers or money found on
his person. On the right arm, in India ink,

DECLINE IN THE PR1cE OF SLAvrs.-The

cent. below the ruling rates Of last winter.
A fraction over $l200-and that for 4 very
likely fellow-was the highest price that was
obtained. A very likely young woman, such
q would have commanded $500 to 1900 last
fall, brought only a fraction over $1,000.

WHAT JOE LANE THlNks.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
says:
Among those who still laugh at the fears
of secession and disunion, is the late distip.
guished candidate for the Vice Presidency
on the Breckinridge ticket, Gen. Joseph
Lane. He is now here, as calm as a Nav
morning. and entirely undisturbed at the re-
suit of the recent election. His confidence
in the stability of the Union, he says. is
based upon his respect for the %intelIis ence o.
the southern people, and he ridicuIes the
idea that this Government is a mere rope 81
sand, to fall to pieces at the pleasure of any
one who chooses to create a little excite.
ment upon the temporary success of any
party or section. His Judgment, | under.
stand, is that success will be as totally des-
%tructive of RepubIicanism, if not more so
than would have been defeat itself.
Poor old JOE has been snubbed so often
during the late election by his own party that
we wonder he dares again express an OPT.
Mon upon any subject. Sometime ago hon.
est old JOE told the Democracy a great truth
which ever since has set uncomfortably on
their stomachs. Said he 1T is the fault o.
the Democratic party in lodging truth, in
lodging principles. in lodging the Constitu-
ton itself that has brought the trouble upon
the country and the party that is experienced
to-day" This was sometime before the cleo
ton and he alluded to the condition of affair
then existing but he could easily extend it
by including the present troubles. 1t is too
late now for political recrimination, but the
old followers of CLAY and WEBSTER, and even
those who supported the Little Giant of the
West, can lay the fattering JUNCTION to their
souls that the dissolution of the Confederacy
was none of their doing.

No CoEgcfos TO PREVENT SECESSION
lon, the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun. saws:
1t is very certain that neither the pres.
EFT Administration nor the general s-nti
nent of the country will Justify any resort
to force for the purpose of preventing State
Secession. The hope is that in due time tie
Southern States will themselves untertake
the adl ustmentcf the long pending difficulties
between the slavehoIdln. and non-slavehold-
ing States.
Mr. %Buchanan's Administration will pursue
a prudent and patriotic course, and nothing
is likely to occur in the interval between this
time and the 4th of March which will rem
der i. the constitutional duty of the President
to interfere for the pupose of suppressing
State resistance to the United States laws.
But should such a case occur. the President
can only pursue the tedious routine of law
as in the Olmstead Pennsylvania case AID
the whisky insurrection. He must first OBJ
tain a decree or sentence from a Federal
Court, and then direct the United States Mar
shall to enforce the process. That would re-
quire much time, and without Judges or iuries
or marshals in the State where the offense is
committed, he could not vindicate the laws.
Congress will not enact a force bill, even
if called upon by the executive to do it
Lincoln Will find himself in the same difficult
ty. The Questions which may arise between
any Southern State and the General Gov
eminent must be left absolutely to the South
ern States themselves.

WHAT THE NoRTnERN LEGISLATURES May

WuAT THE NORTHERN EGISLATURE VA Y
Do.-The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun writes
The aspect Of public affairs, bad as it is,
is made worse by the irritating tone assumed
by the Republican organs since the election,
Deep disgust is felt BY the conservative ma
iority of New York at the course of the Lin
coin men since they achieved their victory.
This is said to be the cause of the Increasing
financial pressure in New York,
1t has been proposed in New York that the
Uni N Committee of fifteen. or q great con-
%vention assembly If citizens. should make
an appeal to the Southern states in favor of
moderation and forbearance in the present
crisis. Some say that this will do no good,
but that it is necessary. in order to appeas-
the South, that the States which have by
legislation nnilified the Fugitive Slave law,
should at once repeal their obnoxious stat
utes. This might do some good.
The Northern Legislatures will soon be in
session, and if they wish even to delay a
rupture of the Government. they will take
such measures as will re-assure the Southern
states, Perhaps they will take this course.
which would be advisable. even in view of
the success of the administration of Mr..
Lincoln, who has himself promised, it is
said, to enforce the Fugitive Slave law in
every notwithstanding State,
