A glass Of whiskey is manufactured from

A glass of whiskey is manufactured from
perhaps dozen grains of corn, the value Of
which is to small to be estimated. A pint
of this mixture sells for one shilling, and il
of good brand, is considered well worth
the money. 1t is drank in a minute or two
it fires the brain, sharpens the appetite, de-
ranges and weakcns the physical system.
On the same sideboard upon which this de-
cious beverage is served, lies a newspaper.
It is covered with half million of types ;
it brings intelligence from the four quarters
of the globe. The newspaper costs less
than the glass of grog-the juice Of few
grains of corn but it is no less strange than
true, there is large portion of the commu-
nifty who think corn juice cheap and the
newspaper dear.

Or columns are mainly occupied 20 day
with the eulogy OF ex.Gov Joseph A. Wright
on the lameuted Douglas. We need not ask
our readers 20 peruse i. for that we arc sure
they will do without any prompting from Us.
IL isa noble tribute from one OF indiana's
most honored public men 10 the late great
statesman Of Illinois and the nation. IL is
only when the services and the character OF
Douglas are thus brought TO our attention
that We realize how great and irreparable Is
the loss the nation has sustained in his death.
How nobly does the language Of Wright and
Of Douglas compare with that Of John G.
Davis in toe late Convention Il Indianapolis
Who. fellow Democrats Of Indiana, are most
worthy Of our love and ad-miration-sGch
patriots as Wright and Douglas, or such
politicians as Davis and Petitioner who are
willing to occupy any position 80 that their
chances Of obtaining Office may be incrsasedS
We are told that a resolution was offered
in the Convention lamenting the death Of
Douglas, but IL was received by the minions
Of Petit and Davis with such u burst Of
bowling and hooting that the mover was
compelled to withdraw it. Read the language
OF Wright and OF Douglas. Democrats. and
say IL there is aught in il deserving such
q etment at the hands OF a professedly Dem
ocrate lConvenuon. Pesuse il carefully.
and ask yourselves il their sentiments are not
such as becomes Democrats aud patriots
