A New Martyrdom Wanted.
Wanted! Democratic politicians to play
aarts in the play ed out farce OF the exile to
kecessia, which is to be produced on the
ssme boards, with the original cast, if the
manager can secure the performers al the
same cheap rate as before. The martyrdoin

Democratic party can take into considera-

that this selfish oftice-seeker, who has never
been ANYTHING but dead weight upon bis
party, has made all these ambitious politi-
Clans in Ohio subscribe to the cry that con-

!. His speech will be adjusted to secure that
end. Already there is marked sliding
scale. He expected to be arrested on the
SPOT. His first speech was mild, SO that
upon that alone his arrest might appear an
enOrmity. When he had been unmOlested
for q few hours, .he began to think the play
was not going ~oH according to the pro-
gramme. (By the way, in relnarking this
feature yesterday, we wrote .'his aaita bra

fiant. And so it will Increase. for without
an arrest he is politically dead. 4 i
There is some fear that the leading DEM
cratic politicians OF Ohio Will be SLOW ia
taking up their old parts in this stale farce.
Many of them are reported as thinking,
and some as speaking out, that the play
has been played once too often already;
that the Democratic party was the real
martyr, and that they are not inclined to
put it through the ordeal again for the sake
Of this mans exaltation. In fact there arg
some who recklessly affirm that this par
son has no business 10 return TO disturbvlae
party and place another feather on its bro

A correspondent Of the Boston Recorder
mentions an affecting instance of Maine
soldier converted on his death-bed, aud
then adds some wise reflections:
''In the ArmOry Square Hospital, where
/ always spend my sabbatks, brave
Maine soldier, named j. F. Coy, wounded.
in the last battle on the Rappahannock,
was brought in to die. His brother was
shot dead by his side; he was terribly
wounded, but survived for fortnight. Du-
ring his last illness be slowly, carefully
studied Gods Word, and was led to en-
brace the Truth as it is in Jesus. Twenty
four hours before he died the great femo-
raj artery, that conveys the blood to the
lower limbs, burst. Had the poor fellow
been in good health, be would have bled to
death in a very few minutes. But such had
been his previous loss of blood that the
ward attendants were able to stop the flow
by putting their thumbs on the artery.
And thus, for twenty-four hours. an at
tendant sat constantly at bis side, gently
pressing his hand against the woundedsol-
dier's thigh, and thus keeping life in his
veins. A moments remissness would have
been followed by a speedy death. When
the shades of death were falling. heavily
. upon him that evening, Mrs. Jackson, the
wife Of the chaplain, who was in attend.
apce, asked him what message she should
send his wife and children. "Tell them,"
bald the dying man, ITO prepare to neet
me in heaven. And tell them, though
had TO die for it, am not sorry enlisted,
for I'VE have got a country worth dying
for" A few moments later, he turned to
chaplain's wife, and said, Lady, will you
kiss me for my wife!" And soon after, bis
spirit returned to God, who gave it."
