the Radical disuuion convention, lately in
session at Philadelphia, without mingled
feelings Of amusement. horror, shame, grief
and amusement Are these fellows crazy,
or are they moro knayest than fools is the
instructive query eff every one.
From the proceedings Of Thursday the
following gems are reset:
BLAsPHEMous soBNE.
The Convention met at half-psst ten, and
the Rev DR.. Newman, of New Orleans, yes
terday elected Chaplin, opened the proceed
ings in prryer. After invoking the Divine
cooperation for the removal of all preju-
dioes growing out OF race or color, the reve-
rend gentleman dwelt little on the subject
Of reconstruction as follows: 'Save us, we
pray, from partisan influences. Save US,
ve pray from, outside pressure" This was
gentle hint to Providence to call off the
dogs of Conservatism who are frying to
bark the Radical Southerners out Of their
convictions. Then Mr.. Newman called the
Lords attention to the President in this
wise; "Hear us, we beseech thee, for our
nation ct large" Deliver us from the rule of
bad men-[Cries Of Amen and especially
from him who, through satanic agencies,
has been raised 10 authority over us-[yells
of Amen and who,. abusing that authority
is endeavoring not only to take the life of
the republic. but our personal liberty.
Shouts Of "Amen,"1 Great God, interfere.
Amens till il seemed as ifthe roof would
fall. Oh, make bare thine arm, and save
us from his ruinous policy [amens, and
cries of eyes, Lord"] from the bad counsels
of the bad men who surround him. IA

Seward and Weed, and all them houuds."]
We beseech Thee to discover to the Ameri.
can people the base hypocrisy of that party
that sustains him. ["Amen," louder than
ever, including one from Ben. Wade, who
was on the platform. Oh, send spirit
from Thy throne to ar6use the clergy, the
men who are thy representatives, who are
TO declare the eternal principles Of religion
and political justice, that they, In turn
may, arouse their focks to the danger which
threatens them. Save them, oh Lord, from
the ravenous wolves that would devour
them. SO pour out Thy spirit that the wo.
men and children In the land shall be arous-
cd to sense of fduty, to a sense of sympathy,
in this grand struggle. Amen. Now,
hear'ns, and answer US. Preserve Thy SER
wants before thee; have. in Thy kind care
end keeping their beloved families, for away,
ane grant that all deliberations we'may be
guided to right conclusions, and to such
conclusions as shall overthrow the policy OF
ouc enemies; buoh conclusions as shall
advance religion and civilization such con-
.clusions as shall rebound to Thy glory. And
to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, we will
ascribe everlasting praise, world without
| end Amen."
Having said this, DR.. Newman took his
seat, and disposition to applaud was
manifest throughout the audience.

Stephen 4. DOnglas.

This distinguished statesman and parti.
Zan still lives IN the hearts and memory of
his oountrymen, and will continue to do so
while the pfesont generation shall live and
when It shall have passed away, coming
generations will see him through the mont-
ment which 1s now being erected at Chicago
by his friends and political admirers.
We take tho 'ollowing biographical sketch
of this man from the New York Tribune |:

fellow-cilizeps, viii assemble to.dsy on khe

:. honor to the lato Stephen Al. Douglas 1t
is not often that statesmen find their eulo.
gists among men Of their own generation.
The men who stand around the grave Of
Douglas were his companions. They knew
him well. In the course Of nature he should
still be with themA.for Douglas died COM
paratively young, In the very fullness of his
life. In fact, the orator who will to day
discuss his career is almost old enough TO
have been his father. - "a =
1t is thirty-two years since Douglas, n
poor wayfaring Yangee boy, went TO seek
fortunes In the State which afterward hon
cred him as one Of her most eminent citizens.
He wandered early from his Greeh Mountain
home, with nothing but q plain New England
education, aud determination TO rise.
Tired Of oabinet-tnaking and teaching, he
engaged in what was called "studying law"
The tame ofiJaekson filed the land, and the
smart Yankee, not oppressed with seriples,
saw that the sign in Tennessee. was the star
Of conquest. His great rival, Lincoln, was
; keeping post.office, fresh from the glores
of the Black Hawk war. Andrew Johnson
was Mayor Of little mountain town In
Tennessee, Jefferson Davis, q Lieutenant Of
dragons, was chasing the Indians, Seward
was grieving over his defeat as Governor.
Breokinridge was Studying the orations Of
Cicero against !Catiline at Kentucky col.
lege, Chase was endeavoring TO gain o Law
practice in Cincinnati, Sumner was enter
ing the Boston bar, Brodorick was cutting
stone, Grant was a school-bo in his teens,
Farragut was Watching the honor Of his
flag on the torrid ooasts Of Brazil, aud the
orator Of to-day, tired Of war and law, Had
entered politics and become the Now York
Secretary of State. Unlike many Of these
mon. Lincoln especially, Douglas 5lossorned
carly He belonged 10 that hardy breed of
men who suit any soil aud every latitude.
Torrid or frigfi, sunshine or snow, the life
In him was enduring. He believed In the
r6wdy virtue Of American politics, and had
much of the rowdy In his nature. Heman-
aged his debates very much as MIR. Heehan
manages his prize fights, nnd conquered by
sheer humping. The records ofousSeaate
shows no debates more brutal. end yet mere
powerful, than those of Douglas, especially
upon lhe Nebraska bill and IL was during
This debate that he showed the emezipg
power which made his personal influence
while he lived greater than chat Of any

THE DANGERS OF PITCH,
SAD PLIGHT FOR LOVERS.

THE DANGERS Or PITCH.
SAD PLIGHT FOR LOVERS.
Night before last, as the moon rose
over the hill and tree-tops, gliding
the spires of our beautiful city with
her silver rays, there might have been
seen upon the roof of an Egyptian
cottage, which is fiat and covered with
pure white gravel and pitch, a couple
of lovers, seated, enjoying the beau
ty of the scene, and .
..Though few the hours, the happy moments
- few;
So warm with heart, so rich with love they
few.
That their full souls forgot the will to-
roam,
And rested there, as in dream at home.''
The sun during tho day had been
very warm, and thus they met to-
spend the feeting hours of twilight,
enjoying che pleasant breeze that
foated up from the magnolia garden
beneath, and interohanging those soul
longings and the warm affections for
each other. Near each other the low
ers sat with one arm. he encircled
the waist of the beautiful creature It,
his side,
"Her little hand lay gently, confidingly in
his"
and oil passed quietly and lovingly
until the bell tolled the midnighthour..
"None but tho loving and beloved,
Should be awake at this sweet hour"
The tolling of the bell reminded
them that
'T'FsS sis.n' neFs" sweet >rs''orsr' 0''~y
was requisite for lovers as we'll as 9TH
ers. Still seated near each other, the
plighted VOWS were again and again
exchanged, and sealed with kisses
like
"Linked sweetness long drawn out"
AT length, after many vain attempts
to sever these pleasant pleasures, the
transported lovers found that they
were bound to each other by more
sticking bonds than lovers vows. The
hot sun had melted the pitch, and af-
ter sitting so long, and the night air
having cooled the resinous matter,
they found they were both ''stuck
fast" The young gentleman first at
tempted to disengage himself, but
found like Aunt Jemima's plaster,
"the moro you try to pull it of, the
tighter it sticks the faster" The
young. lady then attempted to gee up;
which she did minus the skirt of her
dress, and all her under clothes, as far
as the "tilters." In this plight she
attempted to relieve her disconsolate
partner, but it was of no use, he
couldn't come. After some parley,
came to the conclusion he could man
age it by slipping out Of his pants.
Accordingly he asked of his compan-
ion if she could lend him pair Of
pants until he could 60 home. She
thought her pas would do, if they
were not too long. With this infor-
nation he slipped off his boots, and
loosing his suspenders, drew himself
out of his pants as easily as possible,
and the disconsolate couple took
themselves down stairs in very blush
ing manner, and looking very much
like our first parents when they dis
.coveredthat they were human. The
lady procured, as quietly as possible,
q pair Of her fathers pants, which we're
run into pretty quick, and the Adonis
,decamped with. his pants rolled up
about six inches. The joke was too
good to be kept /; by little and little it
leaked, out, until the truth had to
come to exculpate the happy inno-
cents.-Memphis argus.
