Now Paper.

By the prospectus published in anoth-
er part of this paper, it will be seen that
it is the intention of the present pub
fishers to establish, on secure and per-
manent footing, Democratic newspa-
per that cannot be subsidized or bought.
1t will be published in the interest of
the whole Democratic party, and will
be above the reach of any individual,
or clique, or faction. When nomina-
tions are made they will be sustained
and supported; and the paper will not
be used to control or in any way influ-
ence them. The present crisis warns
| that something must be done to pre-
vent its recurrence, and to preserve the
strength, purity, and honor Of our party.

SUCCESS IN 8

1t rarely happens that q man succeeds
permanently in business by what IS
called good luck. 1t needs, generally,
superior endowments to win superior
position. In all professions and trades,
certain ~contending forces are brought
into play. No man denies that the
faculties of respective men, their sa-
gacity, their energy, their perseverance,
are different. Every profession is, in
one important and iuvariable aspect, a
form of exertion of human faculty, an
arena of power; and it is all but implied
in this that in every profession there
will be degrees Of success and failure.
From this last circumstance, it will be
an inevitable result that certain persons
find themselves surpassed, beaten,
thwarted, and that they feel pain in
consequence. 1t is one Of the sad
consequences of the fall, but, like other
such painful phenomena, itself OF
remedial tendency in the body polite,
that every man who rises in any pro-
fession must tread II path more or less
believed with tears of those he passes
on ascent. The incompetent or indolent
soldier takes commands from his able
and active comrade who has left the
ranks; the able and interchangeable physi-
clan absorbs the practice Of the dullard
or empiric; the lawyer, whose logic is
as a Damascus sabre, and who wields II
like an Arab arm, condemns his heavy
eyed or careless brother to starve. More
particularly does this apply to mercan-
tile professions. Here the precise mode
in which talent is thought to bear is in
making money; if you are so much ADLER
than your neighbor, you win so much
more money than he; and as your rela-
tive winnings are drawn from a common
store, namely, the purse Of the public,
the more you have the less he gets
Depend upon it, he will in these circum'
stances feel "sore.' The pearls are fol-
him that can dive, the golden apples are
for him that can climb. Nature-and
we use the word re~verently to designate
the method of His working who is Ma
lures power-intends every faculty &c
be used to the utmost. A nan who ex'
poets less from his competitors than ar
uusparing use of all their means, is q
coward; a man who aims at more thar
the full use of his own is q churl.

A PRAYING LuSArIo IN A RAILWAY
CARRIAGE.-At Hanwell, England, re-
Gently, a young lady was put into a train
alone to go to London AS the train
was on the point Of starting a gentleman
rushed up and got in. Shortly after
the train had started, the gentleman
jumped up and exclaimed, "This car
rage is too heavy, it must be lightened,"
and straightway his carpet bag disap-
peared out of the window. He sits still
a few minutes, when he begins again,
and this time his coat and waistcoat
follow his bag. After a little while he
said, "Let us pray for the Duke of
Gloucester" Down they go on their
knees, the poor girl only seventeen,
too frightened to do anything but obey.
When that was done they prayed for the
Duke of York, and then for another-in
fact, through a whole string OF Dukes;
then they sit down, the young lady
frightened out of her senses. After a
few minutes he begins again, 'lt won't
do; / can't stand it the train Is TOO
heavy, either you or ! must get out; |
don't want to, so you must CO. The
girl, in despair, says, "But we have not
prayed for the Duke Of Northumber-
land" "Ah, no more we have" Down
they go on their knees, when luckily
the train stopped at a station, and the
young lady called the guard, when it
was discovered that the gentleman was
a lunatic escaped from Hanwell.

ALMOST A CATAsTRoPHE.-An accident
happened on the Tennessee and Ala
bama Railroad to the train bound for
Nashville, last Sunday morning, that
came within a hairs breadth of proving
a fearful and fatal one. When within
two miles of Columbia, as the train was
speeding onward at the rate of over
thirty miles an hour, the engine struck
one of the iron rails on the track that
instantly gave way. The tender and
baggage car passed safely over. The
mex car had its hindmost trucks ripped
off in a twinkle, and the sleeping car
following was overturned. The shat
tering of the window lights, and general
smashing up of the furniture in the car,
indicated that there was probably loss
of life or limb to its occupants, but,
strange to say, as the passengers scram-
BILE from the wreck, only one of the
number was found to be badly bruised.
1t was then.seen that the car lay within
Il few inches Of a steep embankment OF
II hundred feet or understandable Press
and Times.

A CHINESE LODGING HoUsE.-There is
in Pekin a "House with Chicken Feath-
ers," where houseless vagabods may
sleep for one mill (the tenth part of Il
cent? a night. In an immense hall the
floor is covered two or three feet thick
with chicken feather. The customers
are introduced into this hall and take
the first place they can find; they disap-
pear in the feathers as if they were in
water. All ages and both sexes lie pell-
nell together. Over this downy bed
hangs a canopy as large as the hall
itself; the chnopy is made of felt, and is
perforated with as many oval holes as
the hall may contain sleeper, When
the hour is struck for closing the doors
this canopy Is lowered to the floor.
Every sleeper hastens to thrust his head
through q hole in order to breathe fresh
air and escape being suffocated by the
feathers. At the hour of rising n gong
sounds and each sleeper pulls his head
out of the hole to avoid being strangled
by tho canopy, which is pulled up to
the ceiling by blocks and pulleys. This
secures the waking of all the dodgers?
They then go to the Office and pay their
mill for their nights lodging.

A COUPLE Of medical students disin-
TERED Il subject on n cold winter night,
and having dressed it, sitting upright,
on the seat of q covered wagon, started
for home. Coming to a tavern, and
seeing the bar-room lighted up, they left
the wagon and went in for n drink. The
hostler, observing the man sitting alone
in the cold, attempted someconverSation,
but receiving no answer, he discovered
how the affair stood, and instantly re-
solved to have a little fun Of his own
on the occasion. So taking the corpse
to the stable, he put on its o~vercoat and
cap and seated himself in the wagon.
The students soon returned, and took
their seats by the side Of the supposed
dead man, when n of them in merri-
mcnt gave him a slap in the face, say
ing: Chow would you like some flip;
old fellow" then remarked TREMENDOUSLY
to his companion: ale is warm, by
heayenr' $50 would you be-" replied
the corpse, "if you had been stolen from
hell as | have beenI' Both students
bolted, and never returned to inquire
for the horse and wagon.

INDIAN TROUBLES IN IpAHo.-A late
number of the 0wyhee avalanche con-
tains several accounts Of Indian distur-
Dances in Idaho Territory, from among
which we make the following extract:
On Saturday night last, several In
diaus-probablya d~ozen-wcntto cabin
occupied by two F~renchmen, about half
a mile above the Grenzeback mill, on
Sinker Creek; the cabin being covered
with dirt and logs, and built too strong
" to be broken into with impunity.
They climbed on top and threw sticks
of wood down the chimney, cursing tho
inmates in English, and daring them to
come out, declaring that they wanted to
kill them, calling them towards, etc.
The two men inside stationed themselves
at the door with a pistol and butcher
knife-the only weapons on the premises
expecting every moment an attack IN
that quarter, but non was made. After
parading around and on top of the
house for about an hour they retired,
promising to return in three or four
nights with sufficient force to clean out
the whole country. In the morning it
was found that they had carried away
several articles Of moro or less value,
including half Of a whipsaw, which they
had broken in two, leaving one-half be-
hind, and taking the other with them.

A CURIOUS application of electricity
has been made in Paris, at the Porte st,
Martin Theatre, in the celebrated spec
tacle "Les Parisiaps a Londres." In
one of the scenes, n number of girls ap.
pear wearing light crowns, consisting
of q fllet of metal which at certain mo-
ments is placed in communication with
u ~galvanic battery. By mean of wires
invisible to the audience, a series Of
breaks are arranged in the course
of the current, so that when contact is
made with the battery n number of lu-
minous points appear on the crown,
giving it the appearance of being stud
ded with stars. According to the Droit;
however, an accident took place one
evening during the representation OF
this scene, in consequence of the dis
arrangement of the wires, by which one
of the unfortunate dancers received the
current through her head, the shock
being sufficiently violent to throw her
to the ground.

A SCENE OF TERRoR.-The Cincinnati
Commercial, of November It'll, has the
following
At about ten o'clock last night, as the
FIRE bells were sounding the alarm of a
FIRE, some scoundrel, supposed to be one
of a party of pickpockts, shouted ''Fire!
the building is burningr" in Mozart
Hall. There was quite a large audience
of ladies and gentlemen congregated up
there in that most unfortunately located
hall, far above the safety Of the street;
and when those blood-curdling words
reached their ears there was suggested
to every mind the horrors Of death and
sufFocation by fire. In an instant there
was a startling scene of terror. 4 few
had presence of mind enough not to
move, but the greater portion OF the
audience jumped to their feet and rush
ed to the s~tairways, crowding and push
ing as they rushed along the ~aisles, over
the seats and over each other, many
being trampled beneath the feet of the
stronger and more active ones. Down
the stairs they rushed; men and women,
a struggling, writhing mass, flying be-
fore imaginary destruction. Many were
badly bruised, aid all were terribly
frightened. 1t is supposed that the
alarm was created by a party Of pick
pockets, as q "stall'' for a "push that
would give them q chance to work." as
several watches and pocket-books were
stolen in the crowd.
