BEWARE OF I" PLANcnETTE. 1T would appear
that the latest toy for g children of a larger
growth, 4" curious and nonsensicai "planchette,
archbishop has pronounced them &C dabolcal
invention, and the lady told of in the following
must have entertained similar opinion. At an
evening party "planchette y was introduced,
and the first manipulator being young lady,
her eager inquiry very naturally was Shall
ever marry 2'' eyes," promptly came from
planchette." "When 7" 1.-Two years.
I" To whom 7'' "S- R" This was en-
tirely satisfactory as it included both parties,
and was the consummation both devoutly wished,
except as to time, which appeared to be unrea-
sonably delayed. I" Shall we be happy ?''-
I" Perfectly p Now followed question which
the lady desired answered correctly, it appear
ed to her the consummation of earthly bliss !:
" Shall we have children 2" g Certainly !'-
" How many p The answer to this the young
lady was anxious to note carefully, as much de-
pended on the result I" Planchette " was delib-
crate, evidently desirous of making no mistake
and wrote with great dstnctness, S-e-v-e-n-t-"
when the young lady showed the instrument
from her with such force that it fell upon the
floor, and was broken. Whether g seventeen }"

was not anxious to know.
THE SPIRIT THAT LEADS TO PEAcE.-It is so
seldom that Democratic paper speaks either
sensibly or honestly, that we append, with plea
sure, the following extract from the Corinth
(Miss9 Neacs a well-known Democratic sheet -
% We venture the assertion that in the event of
General Grants election (Which we conceive to
be almost certain), he will prove one of the
wsest and most charitable Presidents we have
ever had. He is extremist. We have no
reason to believe but that he will act honestly
and justly by the South, and will use his i'm
mense power and influence in restoring peace
and prosperity to the whole country. We will
be reconstructed on the Congressional plan i; but
if act wisely, a just and honorable recon-
struction to all take place. We expect to
live and die in the South, and of course desire
it's prosperity and, as such, feel no hesitancy
in saying that are willing to risk General
Grant Chief Magistrate of this great country
for the next four years, and do not doubt but
that majority of our people will feel as we do
in less than twelvemonth although their
prejudfces may prevent them at present from be-
lieving it,"

Democratic party from the administration of
James Buchanan until now has proved its ruin
and caused its complete overthrow in the three
quadrennial contests of 1860. 1864 and 1868
aad so long as it does not smother that record
80 long it does not openly, emphatically and
sincerely repudiate it. so long it fails to de-
nounce treason and all its aiders, abettors and
sympathizers or fails to recognize and reward
loyalty, just so long will it be forced to remain
in the minority and be the despised Pariah party
of the nation. And the American people are
Just. They must punish their enemies and be
true to their friends. And this justice keeps,
and will keep. the Democratic party from Office
