A fine OPENING for BARRIERS.


It has been suggested that Japan offers a
fine field for enterprising BARRIERS, inasmuch as
the Japanese keepclOsely shaved, not only the
face but greater part of the surface Of the
head The prices, however, current in Japan,
for tonsorial labors, may not be of a very slim
ulating character, judging from the following
anecdote told in the National lntsltgeneer:
A good joke is told of one of the second or
der Of officers On Saturday be went into a
barber's shop, near the hotel, in order to have
his tonsure fresh shRyen, which was accor-
dinghy done, and quite to his liking. On
leaving, he paid the barber, in strict accor-
dance With tonsorial prices in the Empire from
which he came, taking from his pouch and
placing in the hands Of the barber one copper
cash, eight of which are equal to one cent
So doing he walked leasuriy away.

The New York Independent, one of
the ablest and most influential religious
weeklies, under the head of nominations
for Freedom" !" says:
We accept Abraham Lincoln as our eandi-
date for the Presidency, not because he rep
resents the Republican party, but because
be represents that principle, and because we
know him TO be true man, q man Of great
ability, who has thoroughly studied the
questions Of the times, man honored and
beloved by his fellow citizens at home, and
one who, if chosen President will use
all his power and official influence to re-es-
tahlish the Constitution as our fathers made
it. The enthusiasm with which his nomina-
'tion is received by tine people, and the dis
eomaturs it has produced among the leaders
Of the Democratic party, are its best in

Goldsn Wsaalnr n New Hamp.hlre.

A golden wedding celebration took place
at Exeter N. H., a few days ago, on which,
interesting occasion all the children and
grandchildren of the aged couple were pres
ent. The golden welded were Josiah and
Hannah P. FOgg Among the sons present
we're VIM. P. Fogg, of Cleveland, and James
P. Fogg of Rochester. A correspondent of
the Exeter News Letter gives the following
particulars of this pleasant event: --
On this occasion were gathered every mem
Der Of the family, comprising six children and
their husbands or wives, and twelve grand
children, from Ohio, New York, Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire. It is a fact wor-
thy Of note that no death of any adult has
occurred in the family for the whole fifty
years, and no shadow of sadness was cast
upon the happiness of the meeting by the
recollection of any one member whose place
was vacant. r-l
The ancient father, who, though number
ing over fourscore years, still enjoys that Wig
orous health which belongs TO a strong con-
stitution and an active and temperate life,
and the beloved mother, only six years his
junior, entered joyously and heartily into
the spirit of the occasion. The scene when
the family were all around the psternal board,
was q very impressive one; and a heartfelt
Thanksgiving was offered to Him. by whose
goodness they had been preserved and ena-
bled thus to meet together.
Among the relics of olden times used to
furnish the table, was a set Of china, almost
perfect which had seen fifty years service
and two enormous platters one hundred and
eighty years old, which had already descend
ed as heirlooms through five generstions.- =
The ancestors of Mr.. and Mrs. Fogg were
over one hundred and sixty years ago, among
the FIRST settlers of Exeter and of Salisbury,
Maine.
Many beautiful and appropriate presents
were made to the aged couple on the occa-
sion, every member Of the family presenting
some token Of respect and affection. Among
the most noticeable were a handsome gold
headed cane to the father, on which he NAV
lean in the decline Of life, and splendid BIZ
bic from the grandchildren. r.5 ar

The old Richmond Enquirer is set as ever
against Douglas and his Squatter Sovereign
ty. 1t wants nothing of the former and will
have none of the latter, and thus closes a re-
cent article -
The friends of Mr. Douglas, by persisting
in their demands, must bring defeat upon the
party. If they should be successful at Balti-
more, the party viii be defeated at the polls.
1t is insulting to the Southern people to sup
pose that fears of Black Republicanism viii
induce them to support a platform which they
opposed on principle. Let the consequences
be ever so disastrous to the Federal Union, the
South will not yield its objections to squatter
sovereignty.
It matters but little whether the degrade
ton of the South proceeds from Black Re-
publican Congressional destruction or a
Squatter Sovereignty territorial denial of its
rights. C
: We sincerely hope that the friends of Mr.
Douglas will yield to the objections urged BY
sovereign States, and unite the party to with
stand the assaults of sectional organization
