STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS Al A PRoPHET.-In
recent speech in the House of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Arnold, of Illinois, made these in
tercsting statements:
Here l will pause moment to state most
remarkable prediction made by Douglas in
January, 1861. The statement is furnished
to me by Gen. G. B. Stewart, Of New York,
gentleman of the highest responsibility.
Douglas was asked by Gen. Stewart (who
was making New Years call on Mr.. Doug
las,) Nv hat will be the result Of the efforts
of Jefferson Davis and his associates to divide
the Union ?" Douglas replied: "The Cot
ton States are making an effort to draw in the
border States to their schemes of Secession,
and am too fearful they will succeed. If
they do succeed there will be the most terri
bic civil war the world has ever seen, for
years. Virginia will become charnel house !;
but the end will be the triumph Of the Union
cause. One Of their first efforts will be to take
possession of this capital to give them pres
tige abroad, but they will never succeed in
| taking it.; the North will rise en- nsGsse to de-
| tails; the churches will be used for the sick
and wounded, and even the Minnesota block
(now the Douglas HospitaD may be devoted
to that purpose before the end of the war;"
Gen. Stewart inquired, "What justifclt on
is there for all this?'' Douglas replied,
''There is no justification, nor any pretence
of any. If they will remain in the Union
will 20 as far as the Constitution will permit
to MAINTAIN their just rights, and do not
doubt but majority Of Congress will do the
same" "But." said he, rising on his feet,
and extending his arm, IF the Southern States
attempt to secede from this Union without
further cause, am in favor of their having
Just so many slaves, and just so much slave
territory as they can hold at the point Of the
bayonet, and no more ~

things easily raised and harvested, for which,

Cheapest Mode of Feeding Horses

J. Fisk, of Baldwinsville. N. Y, writes us
that he has a horse, five years old, used as
family carriage horse, and is frequently let to
his neighbors. His labor is considerable. In
the morning he feeds a bushel basket Of cut
oat straw moistens it with water throws in
four quarts of shorts, mixes thoroughly and
feeds. At.noon gives straw again, and two or
four quarts of shorts clear. At night mixes
hay and straw-equal parts Of each-cuts a
basketful and mixes shorts again as in the
mornings. Feeds also all the potato and apple
parings, cabbage leaves, etc, to him. His
horse is free from cough, lively, healthy and
fat and this practice he is confident saves
him so per cent. the cost of keeping horse
the usual way-costs about three minutes
time per day. This is an important item in
the days of high feed.-Rural Neo Yorker.

1t may be uncivil to talk of ages, yet Mr..
Johnson is no longer young. We believe he
has been longer familiar with public affairs
than any but two or three others now in Con.
gress. He never lived in any but Slave
State. He was never "fanatic" nor (tech-
nicaD "Abolitionist" He has belonged to
various paaties, but never to the Republican
Of our day.
Ho last supported Douglas for President,
and never publicly opposed nor reprobated
any Of the bold strokes for mastery of the
Slave Power. He is United States Senator
with several years to serve, and can hardly
be suspected of ambitious longings. He is at
home in Maryland, naturally one of the most
conservative of States. He has never been
suspected of humanitarian sentiment or phi
lanthropic zeal beyond knowledge. Heis an
able lawyer and veteran politician-cool,
clear headed, deliberate, and bent on conserv-
ing everything that will bear it.
This man rising in the Senate and calmly
announces that slavery is dead for all pur-
poses but those of mischief and peril, and
proposes that the putrefying remains be de-
Gently, decisively buried by constitutional
amendment, SO as to be beyond the hope or
fear of resurrection. His reasons are cogent
of course but the naked fact is most signif-
cant. Can it be worth while, in the face of
it, to run Pro-Slavery ticket in the ap-
preaching Presidential contest? Is there not
some limit to the running Of dead horses

Consideration In q Respectable
Family.

We regret to say that through the blunder.

lilies in Boston was recently thrown into ,
state of CONSERVATION and mitigation, which II
is impossible to describe. For while serious
consequences were apprehended. but after
proper restoratives were applied and explain.
their meals with the accustomed regularity
and relish. The misunderstanding was caus
ed in singular manner, and can, in meas
ure, be attributed to the number of military
heroes who infest the city.
1t seems that the cousin who caused the
trouble is native of Vermont, and now on q
visit to an uncle in this city. One evening
during the recent spell Of cold weather, the
only daughter of the house, lady of seven
teen, whose delicacy is part of her nature
and whose mind was entirely above earthly
things, with the exception Of the opera, new
dresses and . carriage, remarked one evening
in the presence Of her cousin and her family,
without word Of warning, that she was fear.
full of freezing if she went to bed.
Her mother was about to utter some expires
sion of consolation, when the cousin Crude
that he was) remarked in . loud tone, so loud
that every one heard him
"Why don't you take major to bed with
yous"
There was faint shrek, and Henrietta wa,
observed to fall senseless on the plush sofa. -
Her position was noted, however, for its grace
and the careful manner in which her crinoline
was adjusted.
"Wretch ~ cried the father, "you have
murdered my daughter with your vulgarity.
"Monster!" exclaimed the mother, "how
could you and such delicate nerves a. she
has too."
81 swow," yelled the Vermonter, with q
"Silence, sir !" cried the brother, who had
attempted to obtain commission IS brigadiel
general and failed, only becauss he once be-
longed to home guard and knew, therefore
too much about military affairs.
'Darn it, won't you"
mo, sir, We will not" cried the enraged
parents. "A man that recommends my
daughter To-"
"But l didn't mean it" screamed thu
Yankee, but no attention was paid to hi
words.
| "She revives-she revives-the shock hal
not killed her." the doting mother said, bend
ing over her child and kissing her.
1T was cruel blow, but you must bear up
darling" :.
''Darnstion, won't somebody listen to me ?
cried the perplexed Vermonter. 81 didn'
mean that Hen. should sleep with real liv'
Msjor-one of them malicious officers. II
course l didn't. wanted her to do as ou
gals do cold nights. They heat bricks ant
put to their feet, and up in our parts the gall
call them majors. That's what l mean, ant
what's the use Of fuss about it, that's wha

ut seems that we are laboring under mis-
take" said the head of the family; "bu
when there are young ladies in the room,
don't think I'd mention such things. TIL
young ladies of the city are too delicate 70
such vulgar Names"

full in future, and the family are doing well
