"NARY ONE"

Did you ever see a quotation from any
of Lincoln's speeches in a Douglas paper,
which was not also in all the Republican
papers?
Did you ever see Republican paper re-
fuse to publish any part of Mr.. Lincoln's
or Mr.. Hamlin's record?
Did you ever see Douglas paper which
did not refuse to publish portions of Doug
las and Johnsons's record?
Did you, ever hear of proposition en-
which Mr.. Douglas agreed with either
Douglas or johnson, or Johnson agreed
johnson or Douglass
Did you ever see any portion of Lin
coins speeches which Republicans were
ashamed of?
Did you ever see Douglas man who
was not ashamed of some portions of the
speeches of Douglas.
Did you ever hear Doug as orator with
more than one ideaa
Did you ever hear of a "popular sovereign
ty" or "non-intervention" more than ten
years old?.
If any one ever does hear of or witness
any of these things, we hope he will i'm
mediately report the wonder to an aston
ished world.-Grand Rapids Eagle.

Lincoln and the South.

More than year ago Mr.. Lincoln an.
nounced what, in his opinion, would be the
treatment of the South by the Republicans
if they came into power. A number Of
Kentuckians being present at a meeting
which he addressed in Cincinnati, he said,
speaking particularly 10 them.
will tell you, SO far as am authorized
to speak for the Opposition, what we mean
to do with you. We mean to treat you,
as near as we possibly can, as Washington,
Jefferson, and Madison treated you. We
mean to leave you alone, and in no way in
terfere with your institutions; to abide BY
every compromise of the Constitution; and
In word, coming back to the original
proposition to treat you, as far as degener-
ated men if we have degenerated) may,
according to the example of those noble
father-Washington, Jefferson and Madi-
son. We mean to remember that you are
as good as we are; that there is no differ
ence between Us other than the differences
Of circumstances. We mean to recognize
and bear in mind always that you have as
good hearts in your bosoms as other peo-
pie, or as we can claim to have, and TO
treat you accordingly. We mean to mar
ry your girls-when we have a chance
the white ones, I mean-and have the
honor to inform you that once did have a
chance in that way.

ALMOST A SUICIDE ABOUT LovE.-Not
many months since, sweet young girl Of
sixteen summers, named Mary Crozier,
whose parents live in the Tenth ward, be
came acquainted with young man, former
iy Of Cincinnati, named Daniel Harmon.
Their acquaintance ripened into a warm
friendship, and that friendship was famed
into love. The parents of pretty Miss
Crozier, becoming aware of the intamacy
existing between Harmon and their daup6-
ter, and not Harmonizing with him. for
bade him visiting her any more. He did
not do so publicly, but managed to frequent
ly have private interviews with her whom
his soul loved. The two young people
planned an elopement, which was to come
off in few days. In the meantime Mr..
Harmon went away and did not come
back. Miss Crozier waited patiently fol-
him, but as be did not return yesterday
she went to her chamber, and taking
robe made slip moose, put her head into
it, hitched one end to bedpost, and com
menced pulling on it, with the intention O.
checking her young life. Just at this in.
teresting juncture of affairs Mary's mother
came into the room, and made her stoE
such doings. Taking the rope from her
daughters neck, the mother laid it over the
sentimental young lady's back until she
promised to "not do so any more" -Thi:

Letting of the Slave-Traders.

In noticing the light sentences passed
by Judge Sprague, of the United States
Court, Boston, on the three convicted Off
GERS Of the slave barque Orion, the N. Y.
Commercial remarks that the public mind
will, not without reason, attribute the fact
that they were not tried by the United
States Attorney for the highest crime they
had committed, to the exercise of influence
from Washington; and the Albany Jour-
nal thus pointedly comments:
1t is remarkable what pains our present
Administration takes to screen Slave Ira
ders from Justice. Their vessel slip in and
out of our harbors under the very eyes Of
conveniently blind Deputy Masbals and
Custom officers.
When caught the captains and crews
slip with equal ease through the fingers of
the Marshal with bis handouts, the Jailor
with his keys, the Judge on the Bench, and
the Jury in the box. There is always a
flaw in the Indictment discrepancy in
the evidence, a mistake in the plea, a hole
in the Jail, or something else, which pre-
vents the pirates, althoug gh taken in the act,
from receiving the punishment they deserve.
In these Boston cases, men notorious
of piracy and wholesale murder, are, let off
with as mild a sentence as if they
had only been picking pockets. And this,
not from any defect in the law or the evil
dence, but because the Government officers,
whose duty it is to prosecute them, aid
them to escape any but the mildest penal

re- According to all accounts the late
Grand Duke of Meckleburgh Strelitz was
an old trump. While all the rest of the
German sovereigns, without single ex-
ception, sought their pride in being leaders
of troops rather than civil governors, and
testiies this feeling by never appearing in
public otherwise than in military uniform
Prince George steadfastly clung to his
plain block coat and his civil duties, and
employed his army in road making and
drain cutting. Of course the good Grand
Duke was vastly laughed at on account of
these doings by the princely martinets of
the neighboriDg counties; but he appeared
10 take little notice of their sneers, and
never went visiting them, nor sent out in
vitations. In his little threadbare suit of
black he was seen trotting day after day
for more than half century, the streets
of his Capitol, now stepping into the shop
of baker and examining the size and
quality of the loaves, and then again look
ing into a crowded school house, to see if
the teachers were doing their duty, and
bis little subjects getting on with their
reading, writing, and arithmatic. The
duchy of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz is but a
very small country, having only about co.
600 inhabitants; but yet it is something to
say In favor of the late Grand Duke that
ne found this country in utter desolation,
in ignorance and serfdom, and left it a
fiourishlng little State, within whose con.
fines not single beggar is to be found. and
where every man, woman, and child, can
read and write, and has something to eat.

The ssseven wonders.,,

The seven great works which SO excited
the admiration of the ancents that they
called them sswonders of the world" were
as follows:
/. The Egyptian Pyramids. The larg-
est of these is 6sa Feet square, 400 feet
high, and its base coyers III acres Of
ground.
2. The Mausoleum, erected to Mauso-
lus, a king of Caria, by his widow, Artemi.
sia. 1t was 63 feet long, and So feet high.
8. The Temple of Diana at Empesus.
This was 425 feet in length, and 200
feet in breadth.
4. The walls and Hanging Gardens Of
Babylon. These walls are stated, BY He.
rodotus, to have been 81 feet thick, $50
feet high, and so miles in length and this
statement is deemed creditable BY modern
antiquarians.
s. The COLOSSUS of Rhodes. This was
brazen statue of Apollo, los feet high
standing at the mouth of the harbor o.
Rhodes.
6. The Statue of Jupiter Olympus, al
Athens, which was made of ivory and gold,
and was more wonderful for its beauty
than for its size.
Z. The Pharos of Ptolemy Philadel-
phus. This was lighthouse 500 feet
high, on the island of Pharos at Alexan-
dria, in Egypt. A fire of wood was kept
burning on its summit during the night
to guide the ships to the harbor.

The Starving Condition Of Kan
SaS. AZ

I On the evening of the 22d ult., meet.
ing was heldin Topeka, at which the re.
ports furnished give the following aggre.
gate results in Shawnee county, from all
the townships of which reports were made
save lone. 5a -iisfajglaa
Their were 1924 acres sown in wheat
from which 4s5 bushels were raised
And 1914 acres planted in corn, which
yielded only 5,ls7 bushels; 1854 acres
were planted in potatoes from which only
ii bushels were raised; 500 acres were
sown in buckwheat, from all of which not
one bushel was harvested; Ill acres were
planted in beans, and only 10 bushels
were raised. There were 354 acres sown
in Hungarian grass, which only yielded 10
tons of hay. Sixty acres were sown in
turnips which proved to be total failure.
This isa most discouraging showing, es.
pecially when we consider the fact that
Shawnee is one of the Oldest, most popu.
lous and best cultivated counties in Kan.
sas. All the committees state that the
planting was all done in good season and
that unusual care and labor had been be
slowed by the farmers but it was all il
vain.

H Large quantities of alcohol dis,ille

ELarge quantities of alcohol distilled
from coal, and "doctored" with certain
chemicals to give it the "cognac flavor"
are now exported from France to England.
Coal brandy is the latest adaptation of the
good gifts of Providence to the purposes
of the poison-mongers that has come to
our knowledge. Coal tar has long been
used for the flavoring of whiskies, but a
liquor with coal basis is specimen Of
chemistry which might well make the "best
fellows" sbudder.

MRrEoRs FALLING INTO THE SuS.-Ou
the lst Of September last, a distinguished
astromer, Mr.. Darlington. had directed bis
telescope to the sun, and was engaged in
observing its spots, when suddenly two
intensely luminous bodies burst into view
on its surface. They moved side by side
through space of about $4,000 miles,
first increasing in brightness, then fading
away: In lve minutes they had vanished.
This remarkable phenomena was witnessed
and confirmed BY another observer, Mr..
Hodgson, at Highgate, who, BY a happy
coincidence, had also his telescope directed
to the great luminary at the same instant.
1t may be, therefore, that these two gentle
men have actually witnessed the process
of feeding the sun by the fall Of meteoric
matter.

The Great storn at the south.

The Great StOrn at the South.
The winds and watsrs have done an un-
usual amount of damage along the Gulf
coast this fall. But short time ago great
loss of property was sustained from vio-
lent storm at Mobile and other points, and
on the 1st and I'd of October great storm
Of wind and rain prevailed on the Gulf
and lower Mississippi resulting in immense
loss to the sugar and other crops, to houses,
plantations, railroads, steamers, and fiat
boats, and in loss Of life. Several build
inps were blown down in New Oorleans,
and two persons were buried in the ruins of
of Mr.. McPherson's store-Otte Krahl q
clerk, and the colored porter. The old and
new canals were oyerfowed, many poor
families, were rendered homeless, and the
scene the Creseentsays, was not unlike that
of the great crevasse in 1s49.
The storm in the country was very Sc
we're. A large number of extensive sugar
houses and purgeries were blown down,
The number being over 80. The storm
Was felt ipjuriousily through several par
4sness ouo VIC Sseksou h1aiIodQ was con-
sidelably damaged. -
The injury to the Sugar and Gotten
crops was very heavy. The Delta esti-
mates the sugar crop this season at not
over 10000 hogheads, against 221. 900
of last year, which was short season.
The Picayxne says the loss to the cotton
planters, though not so serious, will still
be unusual. The storm was violent far into
the interior, the wind sweeping fields white
with open bolls.
In Plaquemines and St. Bernard, it is
said, BY those who witnessed the gale, that
such q visitation has never before been
Witnessed.
The greater part of Plaquemiues parish
was submerged by the overflow of the Gulf
Pointe-a-la-Hache was almost ruined, and
the scene at the Balize was terrific.
