Democratic Pluck.

We notice the dersive sneers of ma
nv ofou Black Republican cotemporar
les at the plucky action of the Democra-
cy OF this State. 1t is difficult for minds
like theirs to conceive how men who
have scarcely anything to hope for at
the outset, can muster so much genuine
courage, and 60 into the canvass with
such indomtabIe energy of purpose,
hence the inclination to dcride the efforts
OF the Democracy, and the attempt to
turn them into ridicule. 1t is not to be
supposed that men whose bosoms we're
never actuated BY single patriotic i'm
pulse, whose minds are continually alb
sorbed in meditating how they can best
get their hands into the public money
box, and whose sympathies extend no
farther than the Southern niger, should
be able to appreciate the patriotic emo
tons, the noble national instincts, and
relentless courage which pcrvades the
bosoms and swells the hearts of the no.
BILE, the veteran Democracy.
You may we'll be surprised, gentle.
men Of the opposition, at the present &C.
tivity Of the Democracy of Iowa but
your present surprise will not be equal
to your chop-fallen chagrin when you
wake up next November and find your
Iowa candidates laid ont fiat and cold
on the field of battle.
The members Of our party are engaged
to q man in pressing the war into Africa,
and we rather conclude that the said
Africa will soon glin from the other
side.

Sad Accident at Wayerly.

We learn from gentleman Of this
place that during the latter part Of last
week very sad accident occurred at
Waverly. The particulars, as far as our
informant was acquainted, are as fol-
lows: A gentleman OF that village,
started from his dwelling to 60 across
the street for pail of water. In the
street he met an acquaintance, with
whom he stopped to talk, and while
standing there load of lime passed
him. In few moments he went on,got
his water, and was returning, when an
other team came along, and as it had
reached the spot where he had so re-
Gently stood, suddenly sheered off, ap
parently frightened at something lying
in the road. Upon looking for the object
OF the horses fright, the gentleman found
his child lying in the road, literally cut
through and through by the wheels of
a heavy loaded wagon. The general
superstition is, that the child unperceiv-
ed by the father, had attempted to fol
low him when he went after water, and
reaching the center Of the road, had
fallen down, and the wagon, supposed to
be that containing the lime, had passed
over it without the knowledge of tie
driver or cry from the child. We can
not give the name or age Of the Child
Cetlar Falls Gazette.

Iowa Representation.

from present appearances, we should
judge that the increase ofrepresentation
OF Iowa In Congress, after the new ap-
portioament shall have been struck, will
not amount TO more til an three members.
which with the ten We already have
will make five Representatives in all, for
the next two years. Oar speculations
in regard to the amount Of population
in this state may be wrong, but we do
not honestly believe that the enumera-
ton will show over six hundred and fit.
~ thousand inhabitants, but should
the the number run as high as
seven hundred thousand, there will pro-
badly be another representative, making
six in all.

The Theory Of the Brick .

A boy hearing his father say ut was
q poor rule that wouldn't work both
ways, said, "if father applies the rule in
his work, will test it in my play"
So setting up a row Of bricks, he tip
ped over the first, which striking the
second, caused it to fall on the third,
which overturned the fourth, and SO on,
until all the bricks lay PROSTATE.
SWELL" said the little boy, leach
brick has knocked down its neighbor, l
only tipped one. Now l will raise one,
and see ifit VII raise its neighbor."
He looked in vain to see them rise.
"Here, father" said the boy, It's .
poor rule that won't work both ways.
They knock each other down, but they
won't raise each other up"
"My son, bricks and mankind arc
alike made Of clay, active in knocking
each other down, but are not disposed to
help each other up
"Father," said the boy, "does the first
brick represent the first Adam!'
The father replied:
"When men fall they love company,
but when they rise, they love to stand
alone, like yonder brick, and see others
lay PROSTATE before them.
DOUGLAS received l8l votes in the
National Convention, and was declared
unanimously nominated by the Conven-
ton, which consisted of 2l2 members,
or ten more than the two-thirds required
The adoption Of the resolution without
single negative was just as effective
as if the roll Of the States had been
called, and 2l2 votes had been given
him in that manner. Before the ballot
upon which Mr.. Buchanan was declared
the unanimous nominee, was taken in
the Cincinnati Convention, he had re-
ceived but 1913 votes, twelve less than
were obtained by Mr.. Douglas at Balt-
more. Two-thirds Of the votes cast suf-
feed to nominate Gen. Cass for Presi-
dent in l848.
PAINTING TooLs.-Every farmer should
keep pot Of paint and brush ready
for use in his workshop. On rainy days,
paint all tools, hoes, rskes, forks, plows,
harrows, cultivators, spades and shovels.
Be particular to apply the paint we'll at
the cracks and joints, where moisture
might penetrate. Repeat the process
frequently. This will cost bat little, and
save many hard earned dollars. A
Iight-colored paint, as yellow ochre, will
become less heated IN sunshine than
one of darker hue.
