A VKrEkAN.-We notice that the Hon. LESLIE
Coxns, Of Lexington, KY, is not only vet alive
but apparently as Hseiy as ever. Some fifteen
years ago, when we first saw the General, he
was considered pretty old man, though ac-
tive and vivacious in his manner and talk as
young Frenchman. He was worshipper of
Harry Clay-iu fact Clay's Boswell, and always
was on hand. ut any time and place where the
interests OF his demi-god seemed to require his
services and attendance. The General. notwith.
standing his advanced age, is now at Baltimore,
and is Chairman Of the Kentucky Delegation to
the Union Convention at that City. Whatever
else he may there do and say, We will wager our
best hat that he will be in a good humor, and
will manage to put in good thing or two that
will set the whole Assembly sin roar" before
il adjourns.

-The Davenport Democrat talks as follows
to one of its fellow editors. who by some means
had learned that the Illinois Senator was nomi
mated at Charleston. The mistake is easily &C
counted for, and we presume the advice Of the
Democrat will prove eminently consolatory.
. No, Mr. Democrat, Douglas is not nominated
and what is more, We venture the prediction
again, as we have done many times before, that
he will not be nominated by the Democracy o.
the United States in convention assembled, this
year nor next-nor next.
1t is now, and has been, very easy to see that
that man cannot by any mode of reckoning hope
TO carry two.thirds Of the vote in any National
Convention of the Democracy OF these United
States. If the reasons why this Is so are not
patent to the mind of any man, then cannot
conceive that it would be Of any use to furnish
the information.
We advise every Democratic paper in the
State, having the name Of Stephen A. Douglas
ut the head of its columns rs a candidate for
nomination, to take the Same down and have a
blank space for the name of some other man.
There is no use of talking, or wasting ink or ar
guing over the matter, for impossibilities can no
more be overcome now, than when they were first
invented.
In all candor we advise the Democratic papers
who have raised the name of Mr.. Douglas, to
take it down and fill the space not until the
name of the Baltimore nominee is announced to
the Deople

CAUTIOUS MEN.-Some men use words as rifle
men do bullets. They say little The few words
used 60 right to the mark. They let you talk,
and guide with their eye and face, on and on, till
what you say can be answered in word or two,
and then they lance out sentence, pierce the
matter to the quick, and are done. You never
know where you stand with them YoEr con-
versation falls into their mind, as rivers fall in
to deep chasms, and are lost from sight by its
depth and darkness. They will sometimes sur
prise you with few words that 60 right to the
mark like . gun-shot, and then they are silent
again, as if they were re-loading.

TEACH TIE WOMAN TO SAvE.--There's the Sc
cret. A saving woman at the head Of family
is the very best savings bank yet established
one that receives deposits daily and hourly, with
no costly machinery to manage it. The idea OF
saving is u pleasant one, and if 1.-THE women
would imbbe it at once, they would cultivate
and adhere to it, and thus, when they were not
aware Of it, would be laying the foundation for
a competent security in q stormy time and shell.
ter in rainy day. The woman who sees to her
own house has q large field to save in, and the
best way to make her comprehend it is for her
to keep an account of current expenses. Proba
bly, not one wife in ten has an idea how much are
the expenditures Of herself or family. Where
from one to two thousand dollars are expended
annually, there is a chance to save something, il
the attempt il only made Let the housewife
take the idea, act upon it. and strive over it and
she will save many dollars, perhaps hundreds
where before she thought it impossible. This i
duty, not a prompting of ayarice-a moral
obligation that rests upon s'she women" ~ vel
as the men; but it is duty, we are sorry to say
that 10 cultivated very little, even among those
| who preach the most and regard themselves N
examples in most matters. Teach the woman
to save" is good enough maxim to be inserted
in the next edition Of Poor Richards Almanac.

SINGULAR ALLEGED DlscovERY.-The Pari
correspondent of the Boston Traveller says that
Velpau, the surgeon, has stated that an honora
BILE surgeon or physician, named Braeeo, had
made the following experiment:
He had placed before the face Of a person
between the persons eyes, and at the distance Of
fifteen or twenty cen,franefyes IA centreset'e is
French measure Of length-O, 1898 70S inch in
value,) rather brilliant object. Make the per
son look fxedly at this object. In few min
utes the person will squint, and will soon fall in
to catalepsy, and be spontaneously deprived Of
all sensibility. This singular discovery made
Mons. Bracco suspect that this state Of insen
sibility might be Ms perfect Ms that obtained by
the use of ether and chloroform. Three expert
ments out of five attempts are reported as sue
cessful In one Of these cases a man underwent
surgical operation for an abseess, which re
quired an important incsion. The insensibity
lasted ten or twelve minutes after the operation
The patient was entirely unconscious of all tina
had taken place
