B3s- The Republicans are harder at work now
endeavoring to compass the defeat of Douglas at
Charleston, than are his bitterest enemies in the
Democratic ranks. None know SO well as they
that, of all Democrats, Douglas will be the hard
est man to beat. Believing, as they do, that his
defeat at Charleston will increase the chances of
Republican success VIC are not astonished that
they are sparing no efforts to accomplish that
consummation. To that end they imported
speakers from other States to assist them in the
municipal election of the city of Chicago, and
having again carried that heretofore stronghold
of Republicanism, are now boasting that they
have by that means damaged the prospects OF
Douglas at Charleston beyond the hope of re-
covery. Foolsl By their operations against the
great Illinois Senator, they daily opening the
eyes of Southern Democrats to the injustice and
madness of their hostility towards him. Hence,
leading Southern Democrats heretofore opposed
to his nomination, are now openly avowing
themselves as friends of the +" Little Giant"

THE PLACE FOR YOUNG BACHELORS TO Co.
Santa Cruz is the place for bachelors who are
on the marry" to emigrate to. The Sentinel
according to the Hydraulic Press, says there are
SO many beautiful women about town, that a
stranger, after remaining there one week, would
find it refreshing, to occasionally take square
look at an ugly woman, by way of change.

astronomical lectures before the Lowell Insti-

caused the abdication of Charles V of Spain, is
confidently expected to re-appear during the

HIGHLY CoLoRED.-A Iowa editor ventilates
his descriptive powers at the sight of an actress,
in the following sublime strain:
I" Her voluptuous form is the fttest setting
for her diamond soul. Inspiration quivers down
her snow white arms and trembles on her fingers
ends passion wrestles in her shivering knees,
and shudders through her fainting limbs. Her
soul 1itkers in every accent, and looms up in
every pantomine."

SMoTE HIM HIP AND THIGH.-Some time ago
Fitch of lndiana,-who has no just right to
seat in the U. S. Senate, never having been le-
gally elected-was pitching into the Democracy
of the Little Giant in his usually coarse STYLE
News had just reached Washington that the In
diana Democratic State Convention had eudurs=
ed Douglas. Consequently Mr.. F. felt in the
mood for clustering and bluster he did until
little Doug. hit him just two licks-one under
the left lug, the other Immediately in the bread
basket-when he sunk away clean down into his
boots, and hasn't been heard much from since.
The affair is reported thus,
Mr.. Douglas said 1t was not necessary at this
time to go into any controversy with the gem
tleman from Indiana. He might have used these
arguments with more propriety in his own State
before the meeting of the late Democratic Con-
vention.
Mr.. Fitch replied that the action of that Con-
vention might add to the Senator's vote at
Charleston, but according to the rules govern
ing former Conventions, 1t did not give him
votes enough to secure his nomination. Did he
then expect to transfer or sell them to somebody
else?
Mr.. Douglas said that the action of the recent
Convention showed that the Democrats of In
diana could not be bought.

Hi. attempts to solve tae mystery were
interrupted by the singular conduct of the
young lady, who was moe unaceountably
seized with paroxysm of mirth, and ap-
peared to be going into cenvul,ions-of
laughter.
As soon a. she could recover her eGui-

explosion of laughter from Richard, long

Joined. Their merriment shook the house,
and alarmed Mrs. Lopeford, who had OBJ
served with some anxiety the frequent visits
of DIR. Dlrymple. The good lady hastily
entered the parlor to inquire into the cause
OF this sudden and unwonted burst of mirth.
Florence Conway seized the hand of her

Richard and Florence both relinquishsd
all opposition to their parents wishes. From
being the most rebellious and contumacious
Of children, they suddenly became the most
traetable models Of obedience. Richard
abandoned at oace and forever the idea OF
becoming sailor. Under no borrowed
names they returned together to their homes;
and agreeably to Mr. Wargrave's original
intentlon,the wedding took place on Thanks
