BABES IN THE WooDs.-Three little chill
dren, while picking berries in the woods, were
lost near Hornellsville n. Y, but fortunately
were found just after nightfall. The eldest,
ten years of age, named Mary, gave the fol
lowing account of their adventure They found
wintergreens plenty, and picked great many,
wandering on for nearly two hours. They
then thought 1t time to return home, but turn
ing about they found themselves in strange
place, and could not find the road or the way
out. They sat down on log to think, and sat
there long time, finally giving up that they
were lost. Mary, the eldest, said to the others
'let us pray to God to help us to find our way
out, and all kneeng there by the log, with
hands uplitted, they pray ed for deliverance.
They then took a new start, and soon found
whortleberries plenty, with which they satisfied
their hunger. The little ones now commenced
calling aloud the names of the different men,
bers of the family, Carrie, the youngest, calling
repeatedly for milk, and complaining of fatigue
she sat down to rest. Ida, the second, was
tired and sleepy, and would rather stay there
than try any longer to get out Mary then
stripped bark from Il dead tree, laid it on the
ground for pillow covering it with leaves,
and tbs two youngest laid down to sleep. She
found the sun had gone down, and it was get
ting dark, and she knelt down to pray for de-
llverance, and that God would take care of
them. She had made up her mind to stay
there through the night, knowing she could
not find the way out herself. She knew the
night would be long, and the little ones might
wake before morning hungry, SO she filled her
pockets with wintergreens to pacify them, ev-
cry few minutes Of the time calling upon diff.
terent members Of the family. We have heard
that the young men who first came upon the
children, found the youngest sleeping, and the
eldest upon her knees praying.

The Hartford Times, quoting the New York
Herald, endeavors to figure out for Mr. Linz
coin a defeat in Illinois The Times tavors
Breckenridge and Lane, and therefore hopes to
get the presidential election into the house of
representatives. There is Breckenridge
ticket before the people of Illinois, but it will
not get many votes, probably not more than
the 5000 cast by the Buchanan men, two years
ago. No Bell and Everett ticket has been
started there yet, and there seems to be in Hi
nois, at the present time, neither men nor ma
terials for such ticket, There, as in Indi-
ana, nearly all the old Fillmore men are among
the most jealous supporters of Mr.. Lincoln.
The Breckenridge paper at Hartford hopes
that Douglas will get Eat east half Of them"
It's hopes will not be realized. The republi-
cans are as sure to carry Illinois as they are to
carry Vermont.
In 1856, the vote for president stood as fol-
lows buchanan 105,344; Fremont $3.50 ;
Fillmore 81 ,451. Mr. Buchanan had 9l64
more votes than Mr. Fremont, but there was,
in the whole vote, majority against him of

state treasurer was elected, and the vote stood
as follows Miller, (republican,) 125,45O;
Fondey, douglas, 121 ,609; Dougherty, (Bu-
chanan,) 5O71. The whole vote in 1856 was
23S, 1915 in 1858, 251, 110; gain 1875. In
1858, when Lincoln and Douglas canvass
ed the state, there was more interest,
and, consequently, fewer voters away from
the polls than usual. A republican cleo
toral ticket in the field, at that time,
would have carried the state. That is
where and how the republican party of Illinois
stood when Abraham Lincoln was nominated
for the presidency and since the Chicago con-
vention was held, it has gained a great many
supporters from the democratic party, espe-
cially among the Germans, who have Joined it

Trepid who ventures to suggest that their
state may be doubtful Let their opponents
of every shade combine, and they will beat
them by such a majority as will make it one
of the surest "black republican" states for the
next twenty five years.

HISTORY, THEORY, AND PRACTICE OF THE
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. By Geo. B. Prescott,
Superintendent of Electric Telegraph Lines.
This book, which is published in Boston by
Ticknor & Fields, furnishes great amount of
information in regard to the practical opera
tons of the electrical telegraph and there are
many well executed pictorial illustrations,
which furnish important assistance to the read
er. The principle and operation of each one
of the systems of telegraphing now in use, are
explained The electric telegraph which is an
American invention, has become one of the
foremost instruments of civilization. We
ought all to understand it and therefore this
book seems to us one of the most entertaining
and useful that has lately been published. For

NORTH CARoLINA.-The reports from the
North Carolina election are that the Breckin.
ridge democracy have carried that state by
some 10000 majority. Both the Bell men and
the Douglas men hoped for different result
but the Breckenridge party are sure of North
Carolina, and they are doubtless sure of all the
democratic states south of Mason and Dixon
line. Many of the southern opposition will
vote with them in Alabama, Georgia, and Lou
isiana. In the latter state many of the leading
supporters of Douglas are regarded as the most
ardent champions of filibusterism, and this re-
pels the more conservative portion of Bell-Ev.
erett men, and makes coalition impossible
Elections take place to-day in several of the
southern states, and we shall soon know which
party is likely to have the ascendancy in that
part of the country.

RARE "PArERNAL CHECK. Among the
young men who graduated at West Point in
June was son Of Commodore Vanderbilt An
incident connected Herewith verified the
truth Of the old maxim, "Theres no royal road
to learning" Commodore " desired that his
son should graduate with credit, and, to incite
him thereto, offered him, on his entrance to
the academy, $4,000, provided he completed
the course, and 100000 if he graduated
among the five distinguished. TO gain the
latter requires something beyond the mere de-
sire or determination to do it. High powers
OF intellect, great power of application and en-
durance, irreproachable morals, and mind
well balanced in many respects, must be
found in the five who carry off the first honors.
Young Vanderbilt was not among the five, but
he did graduate creditably, and, of course re-
ceived the paternal check for $4,000.

REVENGE AT PALERMo.-The Palermitans
are wreaking their vengeance on the old Nea-
pohtan police whenever they have an oppor-
tunity. Recently, man who, under the fall
en- government, had been charged with the
surveillance of boats, was recognized near the
Felicia gate. Cries of "a police spy p were
raised, and a crowd of persons rushed after
him in pursuit. The unfortunate man ran
through the streets, the throng increasing eve
ry moment. He took refuge in chemists
shop, round which a body OF 10000 persons OF
all classes soon assembled, uttering cries of
death against him. Two Piedmontese officers
endeavored to calm the fury Of the people, but
their words were of no effect. The shop was
soon filled, and in a minute after the man re-
ceived more than fifty poignard stabs, and lay
dead on the ground. The body was dragged
away to be thrown into the sea, and when it
was seen by the people on the outside, loud
applause and clapping of hands testified the
delight they felt at the death of one of their
old prosecutors.

The RELIGIOUS FEUDs IN IRELAND.-It
appears by the latest foreign intelligence that
the old religious feuds of Ireland have not
entirely suppressed On the 18th of July
last-the anniversary Of the battle of the Boyne
there were many severe encounters between
the Protestants and Catholics, some of them
ending in death and all of them in broken
heads. In the neighborhood of Lurgan, espe-
cialy, the atfray was serious. 1t is the Gus
tom Of the Irish Protestants to celebrate the
anniversary of the great battle fought in 1890
between the English, Dutch, and allied forces
under William III, and the French and Irish
refugees and other supporters of the deposed
monarch James IL. 1t was one of the most
important battles in English history, and is
rightfully commemorated. The rival claim
ants to the throne of three Kingdoms, after a
long aud bloody contest, met there to engage
in a final struggle. The battle was spirited
and yet less sanguinary than any other of
equal importance and celebrity. OF the Irish
only fifteen hundred fell, and about one third
of that number on the English side. But
the consequences were momentous. James,
the hereditary possessor OF the crown, repre-.
sentative of the sacred rights Of himself and
his child, as they were deemed, ally Of France
and the hope of the Catholic world, was over
thrown forever. William, the founder of a
new dynasty with whose cause was involved
the cause Of national and popular right, was
the victor All Europe watched the event
with breathless anxiety. The victory of the
Boyne, however, was not mere triumph of
Professionalism over Catholicism, and should
never be commemorated rs such. lt was the
trial of civil and religious liberty over despot-
ism and intolerance, ard men who treat that
event as a sectarian conquest neither under
stand history nor the principles involved in
the English revolution. Protestants especially
ought TO avoid every mode of speech and Of
action which may lead others to associate sec
tarlanlsm with the great struggle of which the
conflict of the Boyne was simply an episode.

on the charge of having set her husbands
house on fire, August LIST, and was bound over

is very modest looking one story edifce,
which some call shanty, came near destruc.
ton by fire, communicated to some straw in
the cellar. The parties had not lived together
