making pass at one of the sids.scenea,
l heard sudden rent, and my unfor-
tunate neither garments were all torn In
twain. This was terrible catastrophe,
and one that must be Immediately
repaired. ran to the costumer and in
formed him of my mishap. He. sx-
pressed himself very sorry, and regretted
that he had not pair of pantaloons in
the wardrobe that would fit me; but he
suggested that there would be plenty of
time to repair them, as I did not make
my appearance until the last part of the
play. I caught at the suggestion, and
being an expert hand at the needle, I
determined that ] would repair the
breach myself. The dressing room was
full, so could not go there; but found
a retired nook at the back of the stage,
and divesting myself of the damaged
garment, sat down in my drawers on a
stool under the gas-light, crossed my
legs, and began to sew vigorously, at the
same time repeating to myself my own
various speeches. I mil ght have been
engaged in this manner five or ten min
utes, and the rent was getting smaller,
when heard the rush and rolling Of
scenes, and sudden glare of light shone
on me, and shrek, a yell, shout,
such as might have awakened the seven
sleepers, greeted my ears. I raised my
head, and to my horror found myself
seated in the middle of the stage, with
the whole audience before me. Yes.
there was I, John Smith, ex-grocer,
Invested of my pantaloons, trousers, or
whatever they may be called, sitting
cross-legged before an immense audience,
and the shouting, the noise and the yell
ing which greeted me, took away my
self possession. I rose from my seat
I cast my trousers from me, and ran
about the stage like wild man. And
then the yelling and screaming were re-
doubled. Men stood up in the pit and
waved their hats; women. turned away
their heads. I was bewildered, de-
mented-stark, raving mad. I actually
did not know how to get off the stage,
and I believe never should have got
off had not the manager came forward
and actually taken me away by brute
force.
I put on my clothes in silence. I left
the theater with an inward resolve that
I would never enter the aceursed build
ing again. I have kept my word. That
fatal night was my "first and only ap-
pearance on any stage.

A QUESTION TO JUDGE DOUGLS UN.
ANSWERED..
AUGUSTA, Maine, Aug. 1s, l

AUGUSTA Maine, Aug. 10, 1860.
As Judge Douglas, when he was here
on Thursday last, declared with strong
emphasis that, as a National candidate
for the Presidency, he had no opinions to
conceal, none but he was acilling to auo,o
IN any part of the Union, very respecta-
BILE citizen of this place who was invited
to seat on the stand with him, put
into his hand the following question,
which he most respectfully requested to
answer in the course Of his remarks
The Judge on receiving it Git was be-
fore he rose to speak, read it very at
tentively, and, resurning his conversa-
tion with the gentleman who offered it,
respectfully acquiesced in the propriety
of the question, and promised to reply
to it in the course of his speech:
"Will Judge Douglas be so kind as
to oblige fellow citizen by stating be-
fore the people here assembled his an
swer to the following
QUEsTIoN-"Do you hold, and il
elected President of the United States.
would you carry out, the doctrine that
the people Of Territory, before 1t be-
comes q State, have the power, under the
Federal Constitution, and notwithstand-
ing the Dred Scott decision, to prohibs'
or exclude 1t heretrona!
"In other words:
ado you affirm that the people of a
Territory have the Constitutional rgight
to crush the cockatrice's eggs, as soon as
these are deposited IN its nest by the prop
agandists of Slavery, or must they toler-
ate the incubation, and aoait till the eggs
become full grown and actire uipers, that
can be pursued and exterminated onIg
by the newly created sword of State au-
thority?" T.. .... ..,... ..
With this question before him, which
he promised to answer, the Judge arose
and addressed the people for an hour
and half; but for some cause or other
you can judge as we'll as I-he not
only did NOT answer the QUESTION, but
very carefully avoided ell illusion to 1t.
I merely give you the fact, with no com
ment of my own, prefering that you will
bestow such reflections upon it as can
dor and fidelity to truth require. But
it seems to me the public should know
,0lat questions Judge Douglas refuses
to answer, and conjecture as best they
may, the reason aohy he chooses to scon-
ceal his opinions on that most inter
esting point.
It is quite probable that the Judge
will make other speeches in diffeIen1
localities, and as it is possible that he
forgot to answer the question above
given, it may be we'll to hand it up tc
him again, until he shall have found
time to answer it.

Douglas Comp pared with Himselt


In 1858, in speech at Galesburg, IL
linois, Stephen Arnold Douglas thus de-
clared for Popular Sovereignty;
ssThe great fundamental principle Of
our Government is, that the people of
each State and Territory shall be per-
fectly free to decide for themselves what
shall be the nature and character of their
institutions.
In the same year, few months later,
the champion of this doctrine had occa-
sion to visit New Orleans, and behold
what a change came over him in this
comparatively brief period! In speech
delivered in that city he allowed him
self to say: H
"Slaves are regarded as property, and
placed ON an equal footing with all other
property. Hence the owner of slaves,
the same as the owner of any other spe-
cies of property, has right to remove
to any Territory and carry his property
with him.
In speech in the senate last Febru-
ary, Mr.. D., forgetful OF his GalesburS
oration, said:
~ do not hold that Squatter Sover-
eighty is superior to the Constitution.
1 hold that no such thing as sovereign
power attaches to Territory as Terri
tory. I hold that Territory possesses
whatever power it derives from the Con-
stitution under the organic act, and no
more. - Eae ~
A few weeks later, in order to show
the South how Popular Sovereignty had
operated to the advantage of Slavery, he
said in his speech in the Senate:
"Under this doctrine of non-interyen-
ton the people of New Mexico have con-
verted tract of free territory more than
five times the size of the State of New
York, into slave territory"

There is touching beauty in the ra-
diant look of a girl just crossing the
limits of youth, and commencing her
journey through the checkered space of
womanhood. 1t is all dews sparkle and
morning glory to her ardent, buoyant
spirit, as she presses forward, sporting
in blissful anticipations. But the with
ering heat of the conflict of life creeps
on; the dew drops exhale; the garlands
of hope, shattered, and dead, strew the
path; and too often, ere noontide, the
smooth brow and sweet smile are ex-
changed for fhe weary look of one long
ing fol the evening rest, the twilight,
the night.

x I may mention here that Harry's
description of these tombs was perfectly
correct, as afterward observed. The
natives do not place their dead under
ground, having a belief that the spirit
still sleeps within the body, and that it
is necessary for them to place food at
regular intervals of times at the entrance
of the caves, for the use of their friends.
AS these provisions soon disapper it is
probable that the birds that inhabit the
cliffs devour them.-N. Y. Euening
