In the spring or early summer Of 1863. or
at any rate previous to the July riots Of that
year in New York city, Mr.. Valandigham
started from Bermuda on one of the fastest
English blockade runners and went down TO
Nassau to confer with the English and Con,
icdcratc authorities there, to arrange for
trip to Canada. The result was that several
,.rlis ST., tx, II

expenses agreed upon. All went smoothly

"An officer from the latter came on board:
the Captain and the English officers gathered

the blockade runner, with Vallandigham and
his cotton in the hold, were allowed to pro.

long range spy glasses could not detect him,
Nallandingham came up out of the hold, still
trembling with excitement, and perfectly white
with fear-if an eyewitness is to be believed.

The First Smokers.

1t was in the first week Of November, 1t93,
that Europeans first noted the Indian custom
of tobacco smoking. The two sailors sent by
Columbus to explore Cuba returned to the
ships of their commander, and told this among
other things new and strange. They found
the natives carried with them a lighted fire.
brand and puffed smoke from their mouths
and noses; this their European notions led
them to conclude it was some mode Of perfum-
ing themselves. A more intimate acquaint-
ancc with the natives taught them that it was
certain leaves Of the maize or Indian corn
that they thus burned, and inhaled the smoke
1t was novelty to the Spaniards, but it was
an ancient aud familiar custom with the ma
tiyes. vfsa

In 1910 Lincoln and Douglas were stump

Mr.. Douglas charged that the Wings were in

that such charge came with bad grace from
man whose candidate for the Presidency
Mr.. Van Buren--was in favor Of the very same
thing, quoting in proof Of his assertion from
Hollands Life of Van Buren,. Douglas retort

was Wing libeler. Mr. Lincoln got friend

deeply in earnest; he was ever candid, cool

how in these discussions, as in every act o.
his life, he impressed the people with truth
fulness and frmness. Every one felt, after
hearing him, with the honest Quaker. who

While soft the vesper breezcs play

The Dlaboiical Spirit Of Democracy.

At a meeting Of copperhea ls held at Hills
boro, Ohio, Mr.. Vailandigham was advertised
to speak, bat just before that apostle commenc-
ed, the Chairman, a Mr.. Jillson, announced
that he hal just received letter, and he
would like TO read it," Mr.. Vallandigham
said certainly, and Mr.. Jilson read as fol.
lows:
"IS HE'LL, Room No. 71,450
"To the Black Republicans of Ohio:
a am here suffering tormcnts for my crimes
and usurrations while on earth. In these

by me on the other side Of the great gulf, but
only looked at me with uuutterable scorn.-
Take warning by my fate.
(Signed) '.ABRAuAM LINCOLN"
The impious devil read this with chuckle,
and Vallandigham made it the base of an ap>
peal to his audience TO avoid hell b. voting
with the Democratic party. The narration Of
this diabolcal piece of reasonable impudence
called forth a storm of Kisses from the audi.
ence, and seemed TO deepen the hatred which
all respectable people must entertain for a
party which can tolerated such beastly pro-
