Presidential speculetions.

We find the following speculations IN our
exchanges, a. to the probable nominee, un
the Democratic side, for the Presidency. The
Louisville Journal says
"lf we were called on to guess who wIll
be nominated for the Presidency ~ the
Charleston Convention, we should, under al
the existing circumstances, say, with little
or no hesitation, Alexander H. Stephens, OF
Georgia
The Washington correspondent Of Tie
Baltimore ECchange has the following specu-
lation:
The two leading men Of the Democratic
party are, undoubtedly, Douglas and Hunter
of Virginia. Wise will, it is anticipated,
carry majority Of the Delegates t. Charles
ton from Virginia, but has little strength out
side ofthat State Hunters admitted a6ili-
~ and moderate character render him great
fayorite with Democrats Of all sections; and,
although on the first ballot lie may not secure
large vote, he will be the man 10 fall back
upon in case of protracted struggle Dou-
glas will come into the Convention powerful
" sustained by large majority Of the Wes-
tern delegations, the regular delegates from
New York, and good portion Of the New
Englanders. ] think that on the first ballot
he will have majority Of the Convention, but
as the two-thirds rule with doubtless b. en-
forced he will have extremely hard work to
obtain the necessary number. Brecken-
ridge, johnson, OF Tennessee, Dickinson and
others, are also spoken Of, but 1T this time
their prospects are not fattering."
Hunter will be the man to fall back on
thinks this writer, in case Of proracted
struggle. This has always been the idea
of his friends-one that is never realized
Greeley, Of the New York H5b@ac, who
has been travelling for some weeks in the
Western aud Northwestern States on polit
zeal prospecting tour, prophesies thus under
the date Of Iowa, January %:
Il have been looking through and taking
notes in each Of the States northwest Of the
Ohio, Minnesota excepted, during the past
fortnight, and though ! seldom place predc-
tions on record, ! now make one which !
would not have credited when left New
York predict that Stephens 4. Douglas
will be nominated for President at Charles
ton next April, and TINT most Of the slave
States will give him their electoral votes. Let
these foreshadoWings be noted and compared
with the events.
Among a column Of reasons for this predic
ton we Will only quote the following;
The minute division Of his adversaries,
gives Douglas great advantage in the strug
gle. Out of some six hundred votes in the
convention, over tyo hundred will, at all
events be thrown for him on the first ballot,
while the opposing vote will be divided
between Hunter, Wise, Guthrie, A. John
son, Breckenridge, JET. Davis, Stephens,
Cobb" &c.
The value of these speculations depends
altogether upon the feelings of the reader. !.

cHIrF JUSTICE TAsry.-A late letter from
Washington says:
Chief Justice fancy is about eighty,tllree
years old. He is the connecting link be-
sween the past and the present generations
between the living and the dead. His at
titude is that of devotion to his God and at
lection to his country and friends In all
positions in life he is the same sincere, unos-
tentatious and truly exemplary man.
Neither envy. hatred or motive have place
IN his heart. His manners are plain and
simple, kind and cordial. He is at enmity
with no man living. No one can know him
well without respecting and loving him as
we all respect and love tbs benevolent and
truly good. ~

"Of the two great parties which now divide
the country. the Republican is Of necessity
purely sectional, and the Democratic, by
the force of circumstances, is rapidly be-

pect to control a single electoral vote at the
approaching election, beyond its sectional

in the Central States, is not sure Of carry

such an order, but did not seem to be
very communicative about it, alleging
that its propagation was restricted by
law in his native country. Another
still more curious fact is, that the ia
panese think they can establish some
distant relationship between the ma
tive California Indians and themselves
While the CMndinmarruh was at Mare
Island, an Indian lad, from the vcin-
ity of Clear Lake, who had been do
mesticated as a servant in the family
Of Captain Frisbie, at Vallego, was
confronted 10y some Of the japanese,
and a number Of the words in his and
their languages were found to be near
ly alike. The boy left his tribe at SO
early an age that he had forgotten
most Of his native tongue, but many
words which he could recollect almost
tailed with those Of the Japanese.
Some ofthe Japanese servants were
any ious to sec some chief or gown
person Of the tribe, and establish the
similarity more completely. AT first,
one OF the officers insisted that the lad
was a runaway from Japan, and
wished to take him back with them.
There were also come physical char

an inferior class of japanese. That

How THE EYE is SWEPT AND WASH.
ED.-For us to be able to see objects
clearly and distinctly, it was necessa.
ry that the eye should be kept moist
and clean. For this purpose it is iur
nished with little gland, from which
flows watery fluid, Gears which is
spread over the eye by the lid, and is
aiterward swept off by it, and runs
through a hole in the bone to the inner
surface of the nose, where the warm
air, passing over it while breathing.
evaporates it. 1t is not remarkable
that no such gland can be found in the
eyes ofa fish, as the element in which
they live answers the same purpose.
If the eye had not been furnished with
a liquid to wash it, and a lid to sweep
it of, things would appear as they do
when we look through a dusty glass.
Along the edges of the eyelid there
are great number of little tubes or
glands, from which flows an oily sub
stance, which spreads over thesnrface
Of the skin, and thus prevents the edg.
,es from becoming sore or irritated, ard
it also helps to keep the tears within
the lid.
