be held up as the butt and ridicule of

times come on, we poor foreigners are laud-

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.

Say The Douglas men in the State Con-
ventions of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, man.
ifested a moral cowardice that will prove
their ruin Throughout the whole proceed
ings of their Convention in this State, they
acted hesitatingly, and as if they were fearful
of hurting somebody. Their platform exhibits
a lack of resolution that is detestable. In
it we find lame effort visible to please
everybody, and, we think, the result will
prove-like that of all such efforts-a COM
plete failure. The Convention went beyond
the position of their leader, and pledged
themselves to support the Charleston noml-
nee, though that man might be jeff. Davis,
and his platform, congressional intervention.
The probabilities are that the Douglas Demo-
cracy Of the Northwest have sold themselves
out and have very little money to show as
the fruit of the sale
The action of the Southern Conventions
are in striking contrast with the timid,
wishy-washy counsels that prevailed in the
Democratic counsels of the North. The
Democrats of Alabama and Mississippi, and
Georgia and Kentucky, have an opinion,
and they express it freely.
The jackson MsSissppian, in commenting
on the resolutions of the Mississippi Con-
vention, says "The Democracy of Mississippi
will accept of nothing less at the hands of
the Charleston Convention, than the full re-
cognition of the poacer and duty of the gen.
eral government to protect slavery in the
Territories; and they Indignantly spurn any
candidate for the Presidency scho does not
stand sguaTeLy on this PLATFORM"
The Indiana Democrats say ave want
Stephen A. Douglas as our candidate, but if
you will not let us have him, we will sup
port your nominee" Selfsacrifcing, accom-
modating fellowsl
1t is easy to figure out what the re-
suit of the meeting of these hostile SEN
timents, in Convention, will be. A few
cracks of the dissolution whip. will bring
the Douglas rebels to their knees, and they
will swallow whatever candidate and plat
form is given them, whether sugar.
coated or not. No wonder the Southern
politicians have concluded that Northern
men are weak backed, and that the disease
has assumed q chronic form.

Hoe PACKING.-The Vincennes Sun says
"The season has closed at that point, and
the number packed will not exceed $500
head, against an average for several years
of 10000 head. OF the number put up this
year, not more than l,l0o head were raised
in Knox county, falling off of $4,000 to
1900 head from the average product since
1854. This is an astounding diminution,
caused principally by the ravages of the
cholera for the past two years"

Bay The Washington Constitution, the
Presidents organ, asserts that the election
of either VIM. H. Seward, of New York, or
Edward Bates, of Missouri, in 1860, "is
equally impossible, without the overthrow
of the Union" 1t thus appears to be quite
immaterial who the candidate of the OppO-
sition party will be. Whether he is a con-
sentative, law-abiding, Union-loving man,
or a Garrisonian fanatic-no matter what
he is, or where he comes frOm-from the
North or from the Soulful he is not
modern Democrat. the Union can not sur
vive his election. Here then, says the Louis
vile Journal, is a new phase of the ire
pressible conflict, and the Democrats have
resolved that their defeat by any candidate
shall be the signal for dissolution. The
Constitution no longer takes the more sec
tional ground which the fire-eaters have pre-
viously assumed, but declares that if Mr..
Bates, an old Clay Wing, known conserv-
alive, and the citizen of slave State, should
be the choice of majority in the Electoral
College next fall, then the Union must }

ed as a portrait of Napoleon's horse Superb.
This beautiful animal was a light grey
Arabian, about 153 hands high, slightly,
but compactly built, possessing remarkable
intelligence and great muscular power, COM
bined with nervous active temperament,
and strong, vigorous, constitution.
Superb was a great favorite with Napo-
leon, and accompanied him in many of his
most successful campaigns. In 1918, dur
ing the disastrous retreat from Moscow, he
was captured by the Russian general Orloff,
who kept him at St. Petersburg till 1884,
when he was presented to the father Of NJ.
Tourmiaire, then manager of the imperial
circus a passionate lover and accomplished
trainer of horses, and well known for his
devoted attachment to the memory of the
great Napoleon. Gen. Orloff, in present
ing the horse, said, "Jacques Tourmiaire,
you were greatly attached to the late En-
perez of the French, and your attachment
honors you. You are knownsto be favor
lite of horses; and, satisfied of the care he
will receive at your hands, to you | conhde
this, my greatest faVorite. Superb IS too
Slight for use. have grown too heavy for
him. To sell him to a strange master is a
fate to which / cannot think of subjectlng
him. To you therefore l intrust him, and
as You loved him to whom he first belong
ed, you will, am sure, cherish Superb for
the memory of his owner, as well as for his
own sake" The horse was well cared for
by his new master, who brought him upon
the stage, and taught him to perform some
light parts 1 pieces performed in the circus.
JACQUES Tourmaire died in 1889, and left
Superb TO his son, who treated the veteran
still with the tenderest care. He was sub
sequenJly exhibited in Londen, and other
large cities.
Several years since we read short bis
tory of this horse, published in an English
journal, and if our memory serves us we'll,
it was stated that he was foaled in 1902.
and died in l841, having lived to the ex-
traordnary age of Htrty-nine years. Amer.

A happy woman is not she not the very
sparkle and sunshine Of life? A woman
who is happy because she can't help it
whose smiles even the coolest shrinking Of
misfortune cannot dampon. Men make a
terrible mistake when they marry for beau
ty, or for talent, or for style; the sweet
est wives are those who possess the magic
secret Of being contentcd under every cir
cumstance. Rich or poor high or low, it
makes no difference the bright little foun-
tain of joy bubbles up just as musicalIy in
the hearts. Do they live in Il log cabin
the freight that leaps on its humble hearth
becomes brighter than the gilded chande-
liers in an Aladdin palace, Do they eat
brown bread and drink cold water from the
well? it affords them more solid satisfac
tion than the millionaire pare de toie graS
and iced champagne. Nothing ever goes
wrong with them-no trouble Is too serious
for them to make the best of it. Was
ever stream of calamity so dark and deep
that the sunlight of happy face, falling
across its turbid tide, would not wake an
answering CLEAN. Why, these Joyous tenn
pered people don't know halfthe GOOD they
do. No matter how cross and savage YOU
feel, Mr.. Grumbler-no matter if your
brain is packed full Of meditations or af-
ticting dispensations,' and your stomach
with medicines, pills, and tonics, just set
one Of these cherry little women talking
to you, and We are not afraid to wager any
thing she can cure you. The long drawn
lines about the mouth will rcIax-thc cloud
settled gloom will vanish, nobody knows
when, and the first thing you know, you'll

THE LUCKY PREDICTION.
BY CAROLINE R. PRESTON.

John Wyman was over head and ears in
love with Annie Grafton-an attachment
which Annie was not unwilling to receive.
So far, everything seemed prosperous and
plain sailing, but-my dear reader, did you
ever know a more detestible conjunction
than that but? Well the but in this par
ticular case was that the widow Grafton,
who sustained the maternal relation to An
ME, had very decided objection to J ohm as
son-in-law. Not that she disliked the
young man. She admitted that he was
steady, goodlooking, of an amiable dispo-
sition, and all that-but lie was poor He
/ learned the trade Of a carpenter, and
though he made fair wages, had thus far
been called upon to support two sisters,
both of whom are now married and off his
hands, and consequently he had rot been
able to lay up more than two hundred
dollars or so,
Mrs. Grafton, on the contrary, was the
owner Of a valuable farm, and some money
in the bank, altogether no less than two
thousand dollars. This, in country town,
entitled her to one of the foremost places
among the village aristocracy, and as An
ME was her only daughter, and would in
herit all the property eventually, she felt
that it would be a decided misalliance for
her to marry any other than rich man,
or, if not rich, member Of one Of the
learned professions.
So when John Wyman ventuIed to
broach the subject to her, she said, not un-
kindly, but still very firmly, No Mr.. Wy
man, | cannot give my consent.
Have you heard anything against my
character| asked John in tone of great
disappointment
Not at all, said Mrs Grafton. l be-
lieve you to be very correct and estima-
bic young man, but Annie is entitled to
look higher
That is what Mrs Grafton said, in sub
stance, in response to every appeal the
young man made, and he was finally obliged
to retire from the conference in despair.
But when mans wisdom fails, woman's
wit often steps in and avails much.
When Annie heard from her lover the
report of his conference, she leaned her
head on her dimpled hand and said with
smile:

Science in Nature.

1t is a remarkable and very instructive.
fact, that many of the most important oper-
atiOns Of nature are carried on in unbro-
ken silence. There is no rushing sound
when the proud tide of sunlight breaks on
dark world, and floods it with glory, as
one bright wave after another falls from
the fountain, millions of miles away
There is no creaking Of heavy axles or
groaning of cumbrous machinery, as the
solid earth wheels on its way, and every
planet and system performs its revolutions.
the great trees bring forth their boughs
and shadow the earth beneath them-the
plants cover themselves with buds, and the
buds burst into flowers, but the whole
transaction is unheard. The change from
snow and winter winds to the blossoms and
fruit and sunshine of summer, is seen ip
slow development, but there is scarcely
sound to tel Of the mighty transformation.
