The Douglas Revolution.

The movement in favor OF Judge Douglas
has already assumed the proportions OF q
popular revolution. 1t is no longer in the
hands Of politicians (; but the people have
taken hold of it, and are pushing it forward
with vigor and impulse that will break
down all party lines.
The times are auspicious for such revo.
luton. The Republican party, demoralizsd
by its Congressional and State legislative
corruptions, and torn by internal jeslousies
and rivalres, has been compelledto abandon
its Chief, and TO take up an unknown and
undeserVing leader ; and is at dead pause
as to what it shall do next. The conviction
that even this sacrifice will not save it, and
that in no event can Lincoln be elected, par.
alyzes it.
he American party at the North has no
principle left to appeal to- but the love of alI
Americans for the Union Of the States.-
They know the Republicans on one side,
the Secessionsts on the other, 10 be the en-.
emies Of the Union. Their instincts, their
interests, their judgments point to Douglas
ao the man of the crisis. Radical Demo
Gratis who went over to Fremont in 1856
and Republicans wearicd with slavery agi
tation, and who see in the theory OF non
intervention the only way of getting rid oil
it, are gathering TO the STANDARD OF Douglas.

1856. Take, for instance, States which,

Curious story Ofa Lost Bank BiIi

In the year l74O one OF the directors, Q
very rich man, had occasion for 100000,
which he was to pay. as the price of an eS-
tate he had just bought; to facilitate the
bank and obtained for it a bank bill. On
his return home he was suddenly called out
upon particular business; he threw the note
carelessly upon the chimney, but when he
came back few minutes afterwards to hook
it up it was not to be found. No one had
entered the room ; he could not, therefore,
suspect my one. At last after much inef.
fectual search, he was persuaded that it had
fallen from the chimney into the fire.
The director went to acquant his collea-
CUES with his misfortune; and as he was
known to be perfectly honorable man he
was readily believed. 1t was only about
four and twenty hours from the time THAT
he had deposited the money; they thought;
therefore, that it would be hard to refuse
his request for second bill. He received
it upon giving an obligation to restore the
first bill il it should be presented by any
stranger. About 80 years afterwards (the
director having been long dead and his heirs
in possession Of his fortuue,) an unknown
person presented the first bill at the bank
and demanded payment. Itwas in vain they
mentioned to this individual the transaction
by which that bill was annuled; he would
not listen to it, he maintained that it had
come to him from abroad, and insisted upon
immediate payment.
The note was payable to bearer; and the
thirty thousand pounds were paid him.
The heirs OF the director refused restitu-
ton and the bank was obliged to sustain
the loss. 1t was discovered afterwards that
an architect, having purchased the directors
house, taken it down in order to build an-
other upon the same spot, had found the
note in crevice Of the chimney, and made
his discovery an engine for robbing the
bank.
Carelessness equal to that here recorded
is not at all uncommon, and gives the bank
enormous profit, against which the loss OF
a mere thirty thousand pounds is but trife.
But notes have been known to light pipes
to wrap up snuff, to be used as cusi'papers;
and British tars, mad with rum and prize
money, have, MT unfrequently, in time Of
war, eaten them as sandwiches between
bread and butter. In the forty years be-
tween the years 1872 and 1882 there were
outstanding notes (presumed to have been lost
or destroyed) amounting to one million three
huadred and thirty odd thousand poundss
every shilling Of which was clear profit to
the bank.-HouSeAoa Words.

The National Conventions OflS4S
and 1860.

On the 25th OF May, lS45. Gen Cass was
nominated by the Democratic National
Convention then assembled in Baltimore
The combined vote OF the electorl COL
lege at that time was. Two Hundred and
Ninety, but full vote was not cast, owing
to difficulties 10 New York and other States
The record shows that Gen. Cess was de-
clared nominated after the 4th ballot
The number of votes cast on that ballo,
was 254, being SO less than a full Con-
vention. On the 4th ballot Gen Cass re-.
ceived l79 votes. being 90 votes less than
two. thirds Of full Convention, but 81 more
than two.thirds of the votes cast, and'there'
upon, he shaving received more than two
thirds of the votes given was declared duly
nominated" Mr.. Buchanan's name was
before the Convention and he was baloted
for but the nomination was conferred on
Gen, Cass, and no pretence made that it was
not made according to the rules and usages
Of the party.
In 1860 the combined electoral college
was 800 votes; but BY q secession first at
Char lesion and another at Baltimore, the
Convention was reduced until there was
but 2I21 votes in it being 901 votes less
than 81 full Convention. Two.thirds of q
full Convention would be 2e2. On the sec
ond ballot Judge Douglas received 1911
votes, being 209 votes less than. two. thirds
of full Convention, but 4o3 more than
two. thirds OF the vote given, and thersupOn
and according to usage he was unanimously
declared the nominee Of the Convention for
President. There is remarkable similari-

In these States, Buchanan was ahead in
1856, on the popular votes and counting
the votes cast for Fillmore Fremont was
one third of a million behind. Yet out of
these 1876 votes, Buchanan got but So, and
Fillmore none.
1t will be seen how easily these ciSments
can be combined to give the popular will q

terest. His nomination was cheat his
candidacy usurpation, his platform is d:un.
ion
When the crisis comes between Douglas
and Secessionist OF the South, Lincoln
will be dropped by his discontented follow
ers and the question, as all questions do in
revolutionary crisis, reduce itself to the
alternative Of two men.
Wo cannot speak of the South but the
indications of the popular uprising there are
showing themselves, and if the contest is
between secessionists and the lovers of the
Union, the former will 60 to the wall. The
people OF the South are tired of the tyranny
of clustering politicians. They never were
more prosperous. What they wunt is peace.
They love the Uuion, and ii necessary will
fight for it.
We repeat this is revolution and they
who mistake its import and its proportions
and its destiny, are blind to the signs OF the
times. AS to New York, we have no hesi
tation in saying that her patriotic and Union
loving masses will lead the procession Of
the Douglas States. Her thirty five votes
are to be cast for Douglas in the Electoral
College as surely and as effectively as they
were cast in the nominating convention
Never was popular enthusiasm greater
Never before were such accessions of mer
in masses to the cause of non.intervention
1t is great and attractive cause. 1t is like

How to Tell the Time of Night by
the Stars.

The Scientific American gives the follow
ing exposition Of the way to tell the time OF
night by the stars:
Take keg or barrel hoop, or wire, aud
divide it into twenty-four equal spaces,
marking the dividing points for four points
Connect the opposite hour points by lines
Of fine twine drawn across the diamster OF
the hoop. Hang the apparatus against o
north window, and place the eye in a line
with the middle hoop (where the wires cross
each other) and the North Star.
Now any Of the fixed stars in their daily
revolutions about the pole, will pass from
one to the next in an hour. Let US select
the nearest point in the "dipper" (Alpha,
Ursa MojH) for the hour on our greut clock
OF the heavens. Place the eye at such dis
tance from the apparatus as to bring this
star just within the hoop, keeping the CEN
ter ofthe hoop iu line with The North Pole
On the fifth Of March, the stars A lpha Ursa
Mrlor, will be on the meridian, directly
over the North Star, and consequently in
line with the upper vertce wire of our sp-
paratus at IL O'Clock, midn iqhi; md as il
passes from one wire to the next in an
hour, II 1t is seen in line with the first wire
at the right Of the vertical one, the time
will be / o O'Clock; and so on. While il il
has passed the middle, and reached the firsl
wire at the left, The time indicated is l o.
clock; the second wire, 9 O'Clock and SC
on.
This star, in common with all other fxet
stars comes to the meridian about four mi
nu!tes earli each night or day. Cunseque Mt.
ly, on the 9th Of April, it will reach the Verti
Gle wire at 10 O'Clock at night, and the
other wires at corresponding times; and this
variation continues ut the rate of two hours
in each month throughout the year!
From this description the mode will Be
readily understood Of telling the time o.
stars without the aid of any Instrument
We require to leurn two stsrs-the polo,
star and that one Of the pointers which i.
the nearest one TO ito remember that this
latter star is directly over the North Sta
on the 9th OF March, and comes to the mer.
idian two hours earlier than on the preced-
ing month, As the star revolves around the
circle in "a hours. it will of course revolvt
one-fourth the distance in 5 hours, being
right angles to tho meridian six hours from
the time it is on the meridian, end at ar
angle of 45 degrees three hours from The
time.
