The idea of sending Simon Cameron to st. Louis, to

I. to me marvel Pennsylvania in past times, has been
richer karposa to the Secretary Of War than ever Cali

be said that resistance ut this point would but
sacrifice the lives Of brave men without result.
That may be 30. A resistance Of City or sixty
men against thousands was, perhaps, not justi-

who assume to have discovered that the Ss'

lecture upon the subject has recently been de-
livered by the Rev. Mr.. Baxter, the Episcopal
Clergyman of 0wsndaga, G.. W. The reverend
gentleman brought up quite series Of data TO
defend his theory, and mentioned no less than
thirteen different chronological periods whose

thousand were sealed, when he would again de-
scend, and the seventh seal Of the revelation
would be opened, and the Millennium begin. He

Much was made by the Republican press du-
ring the late campaign out of the curious coin
cidence in the fact that the first syllable of Lin.
coins name and the last of Hamlin's was the
same. Somephilologist has been looking up the
meaning Of the syllable, "lin," which Is COM
mon to both names; and he finds thatit means
"yield." It is another curious fact that the last
syllable Of the Presidents given name is the
same as the first Of the Vice Presidents sur

accepted as the progenitor Of the negro trace.
