APowertul Temperan nee Lcctn,c

Mrs. Rush, of Champaign county, in
this State, has recovered FIVE thousand
dollars of Peter dawson for the loss of her
foot. In brief the case is this: Daw-
son sold liquor to the husband of the
plaintiff and the husband under its in.
Auence made an assault upon his wife,
and so injured her foot that amputation
was necessary. She brought suit, under
"An act to provide against the evils re-
sulting from the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors in the State of Ohio;' and the ju-
ny rendered said verdict. The Mac a
Cheek Press says:
'Dawson has accumulated cousidera-
bic property in this nefarious traffic and
is good for the sum, although it will
swamp him. This is one of the best
temperance lectures of the day, and will
have more effect on the rum sellers than
all the blowings and teachings Of tetotal.

business Matters Mt Dubuaue.

In the absence of matter for daily
market report the Dubuque Herald in.
scrts the following in its issue of the
25th inst:
Business just now is exceedingly qui-
ct. The only thing stirring is water;the
only thing active is pedestrians when
jumping at street crossings. There is a
slight "rise' in crinoline aud "holders
are firm y that the going is positively
awful, and that they wouldn't 60 down
town for anything if they were obliged
to. Gentlemen are looking down, some
Of tbem--others are looking up-into an
inverted tumbler, whereof portion are
unsteady. There is limited demand in
the matrimonial line, the candinates of
which are mostly from fair to middling.
The Democratic Caucus Platform.
We have several times alluded to the
fact Of a caucus OF Democratic Senators
at Washington City being engaged in the
business of fixing up platform of "Dem-
ocratic principles for the Charleston
Convention, instead of permitting the
Delegates fresh from the body Of the par.
ty to do this work-and the indignation
OF the Douglas organs at the whole pro-
cecdiny, said caucus being all Admins
tration men. Finally, a certain batch of
resolutions were adopted by the Demo-
cratic Senators in caucus and now the
only business left for the delegates at
the Charleston Convention, is to get a
man to stand on this platform. This is
new thing in politics, and illustrates
very forcibly the difficulty of settling
what are Democratic principles-a diff.
Guilty so great that these Washington
leaders dare not leave the elucidation to
their own party as represented in the
National Convention But We have al
ready commented fully on this subject
1 The 3D.. D,m no rat! yesterday published this
ocratic friends, particularly the Douglas
ties, have read it, They will perceive
it annihilatcs the Popular Sovereignty
doctrine-denes the right of the people
of territory in their territorial condi-
ton to form and regulate their own in
stitutions in their own way-denies their
right to prohibit slavery in the territories
and declares the power and duty Of
Congress to protect slavery in the TERRI
tories, if the judiciary aud Executive
can't do it. This is the same as favor
ing a Stare Code. Are the Democratic

As rummagcd through the attic,
List'uing to the falling ram
As it pat,ered on the shingles
And against the window pane
Pceping over chests and boxes.
Which with dust were thickly spread,
Saw | in the farthest corner,
What was once my trundle bed.
So drew it from the recess,
Where i, had remained so long.
Hearing all the while the music
OF my mothers voice in song,
As she sung in sweetest accents
What since have often read:
Hush, my dear. lie still in slumber.
Holy angels guard thy bed. .
As | listened. rccollections
That | thought had been forgot,
Came with all the gush of memory,
Rushing, thronging to the spot;
And wandered back 10 childhood,
To those merry days Of yorc.
When | knelt beside my mother.
by this bed upon the floor
Then II was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter.
Carefully the words She said.
Never can they be forgotton.--
Deep are they in Inemrv driven
i" Hallowed be Thy name, o, Father
Father who art in Heaven.
Thi. She taught me; then She told me
Oi l.. import great and deep
After which learned to utter,
3" Now lay me down to sleep.
Then 1t was with hands upifted
And in accents soft and mild,
That my mother Our Father.

Years have passed, and that dear mother
Long has moulder'd 'neath tho sod,
And trust her sainted spirit

Never has from mrm'rv fed,
And 1t comes with ali its freshness
