AMUSING EXPLOSION OF BARREL
The following funny incident occurred on
the Both ult., at the railroad engine house
at Springfield, Mass. One of the engin-
GERS, not having the fear Of the constable
before his eyes, had wickedly purloined an
oil barrel which he designed to fill with
cider; but how to remove the smell and
taste of the oil, to fit it for such a purpose,
rather puzzled him. In this momcntous
emergency he took counsel from q friend.
who mischieviously advised him to fill it
nearly full with unslacked lime and water.
This was done, when lo the barrel was
soon at high pressure and exploded, throw
ing the engineer some distance into the air,
and landing him astride fan engine smoke
stack with a hoop in each hand. No fur

ANECDoTE OF MAzzINI-The writer of
g Pen and Ink Sketches" in the House.
hold Journal, tells this anecdote:
Talking of eating houses reminds me
of another celebrated acquaintance. -
There was q restaurant at the corner of
Panton street and Leicester square, that
at one time I used regularly to dine at,
and | usually occupied one particular box
or compartment. After time | found
that another person seemed attached to
that box, possibly | thought, because it
was close to q window which commanded
a good view of the square. He was ev.
identity foreigner, swarthy of counte.
nance, thin and sallow faced, with keen
dark eyes, an aquiline nose, firm mouth
and short cut black hair. He was very
abstemious, reserved, and apparently poor
for his clothes were scedy, and his linen
none of the finest. Meeting day after
day as we did, and occupying seats OPP.
posite each other, VIC soon got partially
acquainted. | took him for teacher Of
languages, of whom many lived in that
locality. remarked that he seemed
always melancholy and absorbed, but he
never, beyond casual observation on
European politics, referred to them AT.
ter time missed him, and did not sec
him again until one evening, when, as
was reporting a public meeting of reform.
ers in st. John street road, 1 remarked
my old dining room companion ascend the
platform, when he was greeted with the
most enthusiastic cheers.
Whats his name? l enquired of q
brother of the broad sheet.
"Mazzini" was the reply,
So then, | had been the daily compan.

ca Some time ago the wife of wealthy
farmer in Ohio eloped with farm laborer;
the deserted husband obtained divorce
and ploddcd on alone. After while the
sister Of the recreant wife, living on an
adjoining farm, slowly drew his regard
and eventually they were married. The
other day a knock was heard at the door,
and the farmer opened it, beheld, wan,
pale and ragged, his truant former wife.
Her father had turned his back on her,
her paramour had fallen into drunkenness
and, hopeless, homeless, she as a last re-
sort turned to her former happy home.
The farmer called his wife, she would not
see her sister, but tear glistened in the
farmers eye. He supplied her present
wants and then built her cabin on the
extreme end Of his farm, where by HE
bounty she is living out the remnant
Of her days in remorse at her crime and
folly. NN'

a WAY 10 CATCH RATs.-A lady at
Hannibal, Mo-, has hit upon q novel and,
she says, an effectual method of "bagging
varmints." Here it is:
A common meal bag spread upon the
floor of the kitchen, cellar or pantry a
handful of meal is sprinkled over the
inner surface of the sack. The upper
fold of the sack is slightly elevated, to
afford an easy passage to the "pcsts'-
and the mouth of the sack is curtailed to
the size of span. The rats run in, and
thinking themselves secure remain while
others keep coming. When you have
sufficient reason to believe your sack is
full, go silly to it and place your foot over
the mouth of the sack, gather around
with the hand-walk out to the first post
and fetch it swipe. In this way our
fair inventress has destroyed sixteen and
twenty rats per day-and in three or four
days time, scattered the last enemy of
the rat kind.

for the doctor; but on his arrival at the
house, he learned that the man had again
recovered from the fit, to be tormented by
those horrid pictures that are created by
the imagination of those suffering from
deltriatm h'emens, and shortly after ex-
pired in the greatest anguish of spirit.
Reader this is not an overdrawn account;
this is no mere picture of the imagination.
The pen of no writer can too wildly por-
tray the awful scenes of the drunkard' s
home. Many are there who have never
felt what it is to be drunkard's wife, or
a drunkard's child, and to them many a
narrative like this may seem to be ex-
aggerated and almost untrue, but such is
not the case. Many heart will bear
witness to the truth of this scene, suffer

If this should meet the eye of any one
who is on his downward course, let me
earnestly entreat him to resolve to abstain
from all intoxicating drinks. The test
may prove trying for while, and the
disuse of the drink for time may create

MORAL SUASION.

The scenes at the cells of the Central
Police Station are often very queer. They
are ludicrous at times, pathetic at others,
and heart-rending only too often. Tipsy
men and women, when disposed to be
boisterous, are sometimes SO extremely
comical that laughter is really irresistible.
Even an anchorite would oftentimes find
himself compelled to smile at such oddities
of character as he there witnesses On
Sunday night a young colored person
was locked up in the cells upon some
charge like petty larceny. He made such
hullaballoo that pedestrians rushed to
the doors, supposing that murder was
being committed. Some policemen would
have roughly handled the simple-witted
creature, but the officer in charge, Mr..
Bates, looks at human weakness through
Christian spectacles He went to the cell
and opened up:
"What are you hallooing for?"
"Kase (boo-hoo) Use in trouble. !
amt no account to-day, noways."
"Well, why don't you hold your noise,
then %
"Kase Use pizened."
"Pizened with what ?"
"Pizened with trouble; that's what
is"
What kind of trouble ?"
"Why, kase the officer took me away
iis when de ole woman cut into de big
watermelon, (boo-hoo) and de niger didn't
get bit.
AS he finished up this lamentation, the
darkey renewed his howls, fairly making
the whole place hideous with his grief
Mr.. Bates couldn't endure it any longer.
"Look here, boy" said he; ado you like
ginger cakesY
"Fust rate'-the darkey's eyes bright
ened as he spoke.
"Better than watermelon? ?"
The darkey studied awhile
"Well pretty NIGH better, any how"
"And if | get you some will you shut
up your yelling and go to sleep?"
"Swar to goodness l will, jes' you try
me- was his quick reply.
The officer went out and returned with
two goodly ginger cakes which he passed
through the grating into the sable hand
Of his prisoner.
Half an hour afterward the boy was
aleep, snoring like grampus and caring
no more for the vermin that inhabit the
place than the pine slab that furnished

GLASS OF BRANDY.

Why, / know a person, yonder he is nov.
on high change, specimen of manly
beauty, portly six-footer. He has the
bearing of prince, for he is one of Our
merchant princes. His face wears the
hue of health, and now, at the age of fifty
odd, he has the quick elastic step of our
young men of twenty five, and none more
full of mirth and wit than he, and know
he never dimes without brandy and water,
and never goes to bed without terrapin
or oyster supper, with plenty of cham
payne and more than that he was never
known to be drunk. So here is living
exemplar and disproof of the Temperance
twaddle about the dangerous nature of an
occasional glass, and the destructive effect
of the temperate use of good liquors"
Now it 50 happened that this specimen
of safe brandy drinking was q relation of
ours. He died in a year or two after, Of
Chronic Diarrhea, common end of those
who are never drunk, nor ever out ofliquor.
He left his widow splendid mansion up
town, and clear five thousand year,
besides large fortune to each of his six
children; for he had ships on every sea
and credit at every counter, but which he
never had occasion to use. For months
before he died-he was year in dying
he could cat nothing without distress, and
and at death the whole alimentary canal
was mass of disease; in the midst Of
his millions, he died of inanition. This
is not the half, reader. He had been
steady drinker for twenty-eight years.
He lefta legacy to his children, which he
did not mention. Scrofula had been eat
ing up one daughter for fifteen years !;
another was in the mad house the third and
fourth of unearthly beauty. There was a
kind of grandeur in that beauty, but they
blighted, and palcd and faded, into heaven
we trust, in the sweetest teens; and an
other is lettering on the verge of the
grave, and only one is left with all the
senses, and each of them is weak as water.
A gentleman of thirty-fve was sitting
on a chair, with no specially critical
symptom present, still he was known to
be a "dissipatcd young man." as the
saying goes. He rose, ran fifty feet, fell
down and died. The doctors see beauty
in death, the chances of cutting up a
fellow and looking about for sights. The
whole covering of the brain was thickened
its cavities were filled with fluid which
did not belong to them, enough to kill
half dozen men with apoplexy F.; great
portion of one lung was in a state of
gangrene and nearly all the other was
hardened and useless; blood and yellow
matter plastered the inner covering of the
lungs, while angry red patches of des-
tructive inflammation were scattered along
the alimcntary canal. Why, there was
enough of death in that mans body to
have killed forty men. The doctor who
talks about guzzling liquor every day,
being healthy" is perfect disgrace to
the medical name, and ought to be turned
out to break rock for the turnpike for the
term of his natural life at shilling d
day, and find himself, Halls Journal

Stephen Arnold Douglas.

| Correspondence Of THE ALLEGHANIAN.
While the followers of Stephen Arnold
Douglas are heaping praises upon their
fayorite, they forget that during the re
cent session of Congress, and for several
previous ones, he has done literally moth
/ ing. Whenever his voice or his vote was
of Importance, he was absent from his
seat i'll the Senate under some pretense or
other. If we examine the record Of the
last Congress, We will find that not on one
/ practical issue Of importance can his name
I be found As q Presidential candidate
he has shirked every question upon which
an issue III the campaign could be found
ed Subterfuges were not lacking With
diarrhGa, pleurisy, sore-throat and gout
In the stomach, his absence from his seat
was duly accounted for. While the Home
stead Bill was before the Senate, his seat
was vacant, and it was heralded through
out the country that douglas was lying
dangerously ILL.," The disease grew more
and more severe as the business before
the Senate grew more important; his con-
Gition became more and more critical as
measures Of vital Importance approached
decisive vote in the Senate When the
death of Broderick was announced, Doug
las was not man enough to stand up in the
Senate ard eulogize his character, while
Brodcrick died fighting Douglas battles.
When the Senate committees were being
recOnstructcd-whe the Homestead Bill
was before the Senate-when the Bill for
the admission Of Kansas was being consid-
ered-when the attempt was made to pass
the Homestead Bill over the Presidents
yeto-Douglas was in the climax OF one or
the other Of the above named Ills which
the human family are subject to.
Can we, should We vote for = man who
shirks every important issue! call upon
the voters Of Pennsylvania to march boldly
to the polls, and there cast their vote for
the ''Rail Splitter Of Illinois, the cham /
pion of freedom and protection. Let the T.

March boldly TO the music Of the Union. /

GLORIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS.

BY far the most brilliant political dem
onstratiou that has occurred in Cambria
county during the present campaign, took
place at Ebensburg, on Tuesday evening
last. Although but little preparation had
been made, and no posters had been issued,
the Court House was, nevertheless, packed
and jammcd to overfowine at an early hour
so great was the enthusiasm Of our party
friends in behalf Of our glorious standard
bearers, and so great the desire of men of
all parties to hear the distinguished speak
ers who were expected to address the meet
ing. Certainly not less than five hundred
Of the frosty sons of little Cambria were
crowded within the walls, about the win
dows, and in the lobby of the old Court
House. We have never looked upon a
denser mass of human flesh
At half-past seven o'clock the meeting
was called to order by Mr. J. H. Evans,
upon whose nomination JOHN WILLIAMS,
Esq, was chosen President. Joseph Il
ShAiI pDCil, I-oN-I liIONCN Jildt lilt IOIlUNIl1
gentlemen act as Vice Presidents: David

Conrad Hartzell, Martin Pringle, John
Roberts, George Empfeld, r. B. Gageby,
c. B. Ellis, VIM. Ream james VI. Swank
and Thomas \. Powell were appointed
Secretaries.
After the organization had been perfect
ed, the President, in few happy remarks,
thanked the audience for the honor which
had been conferred upon him. and indica-
ted his determination, although the fire of
youth and the vigor of mature manhood
no longer warmed his blood or nerved his
arm, to enlist for the campaign as a high
private, under the banner OF Lincoln and
Hamlin, and in the cause of Freedom and
the Rights of Free labor. His speech was
loudly cheered. Loud calls were then made
for ALEXANDER c. MULLIN, Esq, who
appeared and proceeded to address the
meeting.
MIR. MULLIN, in speech of about thirty
iHHhuteS ouidiOu, iCNlt"cu inc IeS5lslaJlOn
of the past six years upon the subject Of
Slavery; showing, in an earnest, eloquent
and able manner, the position which the
several parties of the country have sustain
ed in relation thereto. He dwelt at length
upon the two-faced course of Stephen A.
Douglas, the so-called champion of Popu-
lar Soyereiu iurty and lpfan1ad tba poo,,I,,
party from the charge Of being the "Nig-
ger party -pro7ing that that party only
opposed the ertension of Slavery into the
common Territories Of the Union, which
are now free from the curse. He also proved
that the Peoples party was the only Free
Homestead and Tariff party, and that the
Democratic party alone was responsible for
the defeat of those measures in the last
session Of Congress. General Fosters
friends claimed for him that he had urged
the passage of the Morrill, Tariff Bill upon
Democratic Senators, but of what avail /
WAS all his urging The speaker then re.
ferred to local politics, and especially TO .
his own nomination for Assenbly-claim-
ing that as the representative Of the party, /
and as one who had always supported the
regular nominees of that party, he was
rntitlef to is undivided support After
