Judge Poland, of Vermont, in his speech
at Providence said: al heard an excellent
story told the other day upon the stump,
in relation to the identity of the old Demo
cratic party with that of modern times. A
certain family had for many years their
grandfather's vinegar barrel, and they
all reverenced it. But by and by the hoops
had become rotten, and they were renewed,
and then the heads and slaves were grad
ually replaced; and finally the only thing
that remained of grandfather's old vinegar
barrel was the bunghole. [Laughter.l-
And that is just about as much identity
as there is between the modern Democratic
and the Democratic party Of the old time"

The ADVANTAGES OF A PURE LIFE.
IF you look into the early years Of
truly helpful men, those who make
life easier or nobler to those who
come after them, you will almost in
variably find that they lived purely
in the days Of their youth. In early
life the brain, though abounding in
vigor, is sensitive and very suscepti-
bic to injury-and this to such 8 de-
gree that a comparatively brief and
moderate indulgence in vicious plea
sures. appears to lower the tone and
impair both the delicaey and the eff
cheney of the brain for life. This Is
not preaching, boys-it is a simple
truth Of science James Parton, in
Packard's Monthly.

A member of the Paris Academy
Of Science tested the laying capacities
of ducks and hens-three each-for
the term of one year. The three hens
produced 247 eggs, and the ducks 5I7.
As ducklings are more easily raised
than chickens, and when grown pro-
duce more eggs than the latter, and
are as valuable when killed for mar
ket, the advantage would seem to be
decidedly in favor of the ducks for
profit.

Arthur Campbell, fourteen years
old, hanged himself in a shed in a
schOolyard in Baltimore. For some
transgression he was once dismissed
from the school, and, on being read
mitted, was forbidden to play with
his schoolmates. He felt the dis
grace keenly, and told one of the
teachers that he should kill himself
if the prohibition was continued. No
attention was paid to his threat, and
he fulfilled it.

HINGLEwOOD PLANTATION,
September 3, 1868.

"Hon. L. D. Campbell:
"Itis with deep feeling of anxiety that
I address you this note of inquiry. Are
we rushing headlong into another rev.
Olution? The inquiry may surprise
you, if you are a stranger to the wild
fury which is hurling this community
into a state of anarchy, and is inaugu-
rating a reign of terror similar to that
Of 1861. The leaders are becoming
bold, and openly avOw their intention
to murder all the newly elected State
and parish officers, or drive them from
the State. Mexico is often alluded to
as a sample Of what we are coming TO.
They look to the Democracy of the
North to support them. You are there;
tell me, are these hopes basele5s or
well founded? ? What stand do the con-
servative Union men Of the North take?
Whom do they support, and what are
the prospects for Seymour and Grant {?
Fer on this issue depends, in my
judgment, the extent to which this
insurrectiOn shall be carried. That it
will be inaugurated I have no doubt.
There is an extensive secret organiza-
tiOn pledged to it. 1t is claimed this
organization extends from Maine to
the Rio Grande. II Seymour should
be elected, they expect, from the
principles announced in General
Blair's letter, that he will aid them in
the overthrow of all the State Govern
ments South. And even should he
fail they will try it, and thus throw
the country into state of anarchy.
If the Democracy of the North assist
them as a party, it will be- extensive,
and God help the country. If it shall
be confined to this section, blood will
flow for a while, but a timely inter-
position of the army will suppress it.

The History of q Northern Man
Murdered in the South.

The History of Northern Man
Murdered in the South.
The Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph
gives the following sketch of Judge
Valentine Chase, who was brutally
murdered at Franklin, in Louisiana,
about week ago:
"Judge Valentine Chase was a ma
tive Of Hamilton County, Ohio, and
for many years one of its most esteem.
ed and respected citizens. He studied
at the Miami University, but did not
graduate. After leaving college he
studied law and began its practice in
Hamilton. In d848 he was elected to
the Senate Of Ohio, from the district
composed of Butler and Preble Coun-
ties. In 1857 he emigrated to Louis
lana. When the rebellion broke out,
in 1861, he was driven out of his
adopted State, and compelled to leave
his home and family and come to the
North for safety.
He went to Hamilton, and became
editor of the Telegraph. In this
position his course was such as to
bring upon him the hatred of the
COpperheads, and he was three times
assaulted and beaten.
AS soon as the progress of our ar
mics made it safe for Union man to
venture South, he returned to Louis
lana. He is reported to have been q
Republican. He was
down in the streets by a
cowardly band of assassins, for no
other reason than that he was a
Northern man and loved his country.
The following letter, written by him
just fortnight before his assassina-
ton, will be read with painful inter-
est as the testimony of one who was
on the brink of death, and,
as it were, prOphesying his own sad
fate.
