DEMOCRATIC Prospectus PENNsLY-
vANIA.--Lettcrs from reliable sources
in Pennsylvania say that the prospect
Of a Democratic triumph on the 18th
Of October was never better. The
change IN the local ticket in Philadel-
phia has very materially strengthened
the State ticket. Foruey says that the
full Republican vote must be poIled to
save the State. II is well known that
there are several thousand disaifected
Republicans who viii not vote for Geary,
and whose absence from the polls will
in itself insure Democratic triumph.

An Artists Studio.

An Artists Studio.
The cultivation Of art must always be re-
garded as an index Of high order Of civil.
zation. Everything which tends to improve
the taste, stimulate the intellect and enlarge
tho boundaries Of human thought, must ne
cessarily have its source in the more eleva-
ted regions Of the soul. Man, in his com.
pick nature, needs the incentive Of external
influences for the full development Of the
higher faculties of his being, in order to
subordinate It's grosser elements to those
which are purely esthetic, intellectual and
spiritual Hence the study of the truthful
and the contemplation of the beautiful in
art and nature, have correspondent to those
active and distinctive epochs of the world s
history in which the human intellect has
developed It's highest energies and achieved
its noblest triumphs. 0ratory and Poetry
have ever aourished amid the letter con.
ceptions and compositions of sculpture and

hundred and twenty-five men for Cuba,
landed the arms up river in Cuba, near
Hernandez. The cholera had just then
broken out in the camp of the patriots,
and in consequence twenty of the expe-
dition party refused to enlist in the
Cuban ranks, after they had been offered
bounty of one hundred dollars in gold,
preferring to wait until the close of the
sickly season. On the second day after
their arrival, however, the Spaniards
made descent upon Hernandez, and
posted themselves on the adjacent nights,
but the Americans, under Lieutenant
Clancy, drove them from their position
without the loss Of man. After this
victory they re-embarked unmolested,

paper rctticoats.

The uses to which paper can be put
seem to be in no way exhausted yet.
Paper collars have become great fact
of the present nineteenth century, but
what will ladies say to paper petlicoats !?
These have been produced with great
success, and will rival in every way the
snow-white and elaborately ornate gar
ments poor male mortals are accustomed
to look upon with fear and reverence.
We have all heard OF the artist who used
to make caricatures of his friends upon
his shirt-collars, and the author who in
scribed an epic upon couple of dozen OF
the same useful articles of attire. Thus
we see field of great usefulness for the
petticoat of the future. Young ladies can
make sketches from nature on their own
petticoats. Every damsel her own sketch
book, will be their motto. Poets can
inscribe sonnets to their mistress ankles
round the hem Of her petticoat. Mothers
can have fairy tales, slphabets, and small
scholastic works inscribed on their gar
ments, and so instruct their children as
they walk about with them. Fancy an
announcement, Madame Percals begs
leave to call the attention Of ladies about
to visit the sea aide to her new and richly
embroidered petticoats, at one shilling
each. Each pettiooat contains an in
stallmeut of a new novel of great domes-
tic interest, BY Mr.. Anthony Trollope,
entitled 'Tucks or Frills.' The story
will be complete in fifty weekly petit
goats" There ia no reason whatever that
journalism should not be represented in
this way. For exsmple-the Daily
Petticoat, journal for ladies'; or the

Serious RAILROAD Accident.
From the Huntsville Democrat, July 81

FROM tue nuutsfllo DpluOcFa1r July ~
This morning about eight o'clock, as
the freight train from Stevenson, on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, was
passing over the bridge over Flint river,
near Brpwnsboro, syoung man named j.
Epperson, brakeman, was walking on
top of the front car, with his back to the
engine, and the back Of bis head struck q
beam on the top Of the bridge, and he
was thrown las supposedly between the
cars, and was some way so caught be-
tween the train and the bridge stills as to
have the bones of both legs below the
knee twisted and dreadfully crushed.
He fell into the river, and. strange to
say, had sufficient presence of mind and
physical strength TO swim to the shore
he was brought to our city, and DR.. De-
ment, aided by other physicians, ampu
tsted both legs. one just below the knee,
the other just above the ankle. His con-
dition is very critical.

Tne nations without Fire.

According to Pliny fire was long
time unknown to the ancient Egyptians,
and when Exodus (the celebrated
astronomer showed it them, they were
absolutely in rapture. The Persians,
Pbenicians, Greeks and several other
nations, acknowledged that their anees.
tors were once without the use of fire,
and tho Chinese confess the same of
their progenitors. Pompanion, Mola,
Plutarch and other ancients, speak of
nations who, at the time they wrote,
knew not the use of fire, or had just
learned it. Facts of the same kind are
also attested by several modern nations.
The inhabitants OF the Marian Islands,
which we're discovered in 1851, had no
idea of fire. Never wsa astonishment
greater than theirs when they saw it on
the desert of Magellan, in one of their
islands. At first they believed it was
some kind of an animal that fxed to
and fed upon wood. The inhabitants of
the Philippine and Canary islands were
forMerly equally ignorant. Africa pre-.
sents, even in our own day, nations in
this deplorabe state.

THE CANVASS.

This is to be lively week IN our local
politics. The County Convention OF
Conservatives will meet next Thursday,
the 18th inst, at eleven o'clock, to nom
mate two candidates to represent Shelby
county in the Legislature. Each dele
gate will be required to present separate
credentials, and no proxies OF alternates
will be admitted as members OF the Con-
ventiou. The ward meetings were gene
rally we'll attended Saturday evening,and
the delegates elected represent, in large
degree, the intelligence, wealth and
general interests OF the community.
Good men have been chosen to attend the
Convention and the people can rely upon
them for good nominations. The coun-
ties Of Fayette and Upton have been in
vited to send delegates on the same day
to unite with Shelby in nominating can
didates for Floater and Senator. The
comfy districts, as far as we have heard,
held meetings Saturday and appointed
worthy citizens to the Convention. We
hope that every district will send three
delegates and that the country viii
unite with the city heartily in making
these important nominations. Gov
ernor Seoter and General Stokes,
the candidates for Governor, will be here
Saturday, according to appointment TO
address the people on the Issues OF the
day. Stokes is becoming every day more
liberal in his sentiments toward the dis
franchised. More important issues were
never presented TO the people than now
Stokes feels that his case is desperate,
and he is ready to use desperate means
to be made Governor. 1t is said that the
Stokes candidates throughout the State
have completed combination to
block all legislation that is IN
tended to relieve the Taxpayers
and DISTINGUISHED citizens. Senter
will doubtless carry the State, but unless
backed by liberal Legislators be may
be powerIess for our relief 1t is there
fore the more important to send men oil
known ability and force of character to
the legislature, that every interest may
be represented fairly, and Governor
Senter be SUSTAINED in whatever manner
he may adopt for the relief of the people.
