The Demoerasic Fos.ils.

Tho Norfolk (va) Old Dominion is a news
paper which habitually ventilates such politi-
cal theories as the Argus represents here. The
Old Dominion is just now johnson paper of
the loudest Sort and administers cold co mfort
to its defeated friends in Maine, as follows:
1t takes time and the experience of years to
convince some men of the most simple truths.
The fossil remains of the old Democratic party
in Maine, following up their Rip Van Wrinkle
ideas, undertook to carry the State under their
old name, with the watchwards and battle
cries of twenty years ago. They have literally
been asleep, and do not know that we have
had q terrible revolution-that the old Demo-
cratic party went to the wall in 1860, and was
crushed beneath the tread Of hostile armies
buried in ruins, so that its resurrection at this
late day is an utter impossibility. When these
old fossils wake up and recognize the. fact that
there is such thing as a "National Union par
ty' in the country, and that the old Democrat
ic party is dead, in name at least, there will be
some hope for the antiquated gentlemen of
Maine, and not until then.

( Coon FOR EITHER SIDE. During the hostil-
tiles in Austria Jewish merchant, going
through the Prussian camp at Gannersdorf,
was astonished to find on drum the following
text from the Bible, in the original Hebrew:
ARISE, o Lord, and scatter the foemen." On
asking the drummer where he had obtained
this inscription, the latter replied that just be-
fore the battle of Konigsgratz he had spoiled
his drumhead and made requsition on his
quartermaster for another. But the supply was
exhausted, and, as this was in o Bohemian vii
iage, where nothing of the kind was sold, the
drummer sought everywhere in vain for the OBJ
ject required. At last he was referred to
Jewish scribe, who, as the rules of his religion
exact, wrote only on parchment Here the
drummer got what he wanted in the form of
parchment, on which the scribe had Just begun
to write. Seeing the strange letters on the
skin, the drummer naturally inquired what it
meant, when he was informed that it was n
text from the Bible, which had just been writ
ten, with view to invoking success for the
Austrian army. "That don't make any' diffar-
ence, replied the drummer, with steTnlv mil
