DOUGLAS YOUTH.
How Ne Looked, Dressed, and Acted.
From the Illinois State Renisfer

How He Looked, Dressed, and Acted.
From the Illinois State Register
Stephen A. Douglas first came to reside
in Springfield, Illinois, some time in April,
1887. He had already served one term in
the Legislature, and had then recently been
appointed by President Van Buren,, Regis
ter of the Land Office of that state At the
date above mentioned, he was a little, ac-
tive, wiry fellow, about five feet five, and
weighed not more than 10 pounds. He
had beardless, boyish face, dark-bIue lus-
trous eyes, a short, thick neck, square
shoulders, and large, round, bushy head,
which somehow seemed much dispropor-
toned to the size of his frame. He
dressed quite plainly, and rather slov-
enly, for his wardrobe was scanty,- and
his finances at a low ebb Altogether, he
presented quite youthful and, at first
view, possessing appearance. Buthe
was dncommonly quick and vivacious in
conversation, and had an exuberant flow
of animal spirits, which rendered him a
delightful companion. OF peculiarly So
cial turn, he soon made the acquaintance
and won the heart of every citizen of the
town. and, what is more, like Themisto-
cles of Athens, he knew them all by name.
He attended all the local political gather
ings, was present at all the village frolics,
and took part in all the manly pastimes of
the day. He is said to have been especi-
ally fond of wrestling, and could throw
man Of twice his weight. He paid assidu
Gus court 90 the elderly danes, and danced
with their young andinteresting daughters,
but in threading the May meshes of Ter
psichore he never was considered an ex-
pert.
He went about with his pockets cram
med with newspapers, pamphlets and other
political documents, and when called upon
for a speech was ever ready. If an oppo-
nent was to be demolished, there was no
man so competent to the task; and he al
ways carried the record with him to sub
stantiate whatever charge he made He
was gifted in rare degree with those pc
culiar qualities of head and heart which Sc
cure to their possessor the ascendency and
the leadership in all matters of public con-
Germ. Even at that early period of his for
tunes, his Democratic supporters consider
ed him prodigy of political wisdom, con-
suited him as they would an oracle, and
predicted for him high destiny. But the
more aspiring among his Wing acqualnt-
ances, being Jealous, perhaps, OF his rising
reputation, ridiculed his pretensions. Mr..
Douglas was then just entt ttring, as it were,
upon his brilliant and unexampled public
career, and was himself scarcely conscious
of the possession Of these amazing powers
Of intellect which qualified him for acting
such distinguished part in national affairs.

THE WAY 1T WILL WORK

An ALLEGoRY.
Three eoberroosters met in state
One day behind the hen-house gate;
Like savage chieftains-grinly drear,
appeared each hen-pecked chanticleer,
Who waited, as he weirdly sat,
a short address on ''Tit for Tat
Soon came the orator. His crow
Was wofully suppressed and low,
why, friends, " said he, with trembling CREST
f'Befcre speak, perhaps twas best
To heed an adage world-renowneu,
Aad see If any hens are round.
Upjumped a bantam. 'tNay the fates,'
Cried he with joy, ''haye placed our mates
Far ait uI on the garden wall,
BeyS1d our sight, beyond our call,
Where, undistJubed by friend or foe,
They loudly 'cluck,' and think they crow"
His mind relieved, the elder sage
Said brothers, we're behind the age
Our hens progress ('Ah, woe is mep'
IN tones sepulchral groaned the three.1
ssThey fight like warrior cocks OF old:
And oh ye martyrs l-how they scold.
We're sick of fdIeness and play;
We're growing richer every day
And / have hit upon 4 plan"
l'tHurrah ~ began the feathered clan,
If hens viii crow and brawl and spat,
zen hatch the chickens How is that
wondrous planl each cock with zest
Betook himself INTO a nest,
And waited IN maternal mood
The exit of feathered brood.
But-judging from their restless feats-
They did not fancy eggs for seats.
AS dinly gathered shades of night
Their truant mates appeared in sight;i
Not with trfunphal march they came,
Each head was bowed with grief and shame;
From every eye streamed tears of woe,
And not hen essayed to crow.
why, what's the matter 2" asked the four,
Who sat within the hen-house door.
s.Matter r. quoth they in dismal note,
s'Our Sister Peafow1s spit her throat
AM we are sick with grief and pain;
w want our quiet homes again.
g 'fTake them, ssal welconle,Y said the sage,

So silently, with lordly crest,
Each rooster stepped from off his nest;
Then looked upon his work abashed,
Fornot an egg remained unmashed.

4 CurI0US Case,

The New Orleans Republican tells the
following curious circumstances:
About a week ago a woman known as
Matte Davis, living on Basin street, just
below Perdido, quietly crossed the road
from her house to the one opposite, then
apparently in as good health as usual. She
had scarcely reached the door when her
former quiet manner changed into strange
actions. When spoken to by one of her
friends she did not reply, but apparently
exerted herself to intimate that something
was the matter. Barely able to move her
hand and cry in plaintive way, was the
extent of her ability. Her companions
kindly and gently removed the suf-
ferer to her own apartment, where she has
lain ever since, utterly unconscious. When
an investigation was entered into by com.
petent physicians, the discovery was made
that her five senses had deserted the frail
body She has from that time remained
almost as a corpse, but her complexion in
dicates the presence of arsenic. Three at
tending physicians are somewhat in a
quandary but are studying the case, and
making all due effort to restore her to con-
sciousness, if not to health, Her pulse has
almost ceased to beat, and she has not
tasted food since the attack. Her former
habits are represented as having been very
regular, not often leaving the house, and
never drinking liquors. Her previous his
tory is one somewhat romantic, but with
that we have nothing to do.

Alexander Thomas Martin was found
dead in water cistern in Clarendon street,
London, lately. He lad been a cellarman,
who, after a life of sobriety, had taken sud
denly to drink, on which account he lost
his situation and grew ''queer." Eccentric
to the last, he wrote letter to friendly
undertaken, with various singular directions
as to his funeral, concluding with the fol-
lowing original and pathetic lines:
Oh, my poor head, how worse I feel,
And I have put the shoulder to the wheel,
now must go at double quick,
For find it is time to cut my stick.

The QUESTION OF RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
IN SCHOOLS. Catholic Telegraph of
the 4th contains the following; "From
the apostolic theory that the state had au-
thority to tax for education separated from
all religious influence, journalistic sup
porters of schools veered TO the advocacy
of religious instruction. 1t was transi-
ton that brought them into direct antag-
onism with the law, to sustain school
system that tramples upon the rights of
Catholics That blindness has driven these
defenders of common schools to the second
defeat. The first chapter IN this
school controversy is now closed. 1t ends
with the triumph of law. The second chap
ter will open with an agitation against the
law itself, in the name of justice and the
right that both Protestants and Catholics
have to positive religious instruction in sep
arate schools. If the school laws be modi-
fed to secure denominational education
for all, Catholics viii cheerfully pay their
portion of the school fund. If this wise
amendment cannot be made, taxation for
school purposes must cease. Now that the
Bible has been excluded from the schools,
if professed Protestants have been sincere
in all that they have said in its favor, they
must agree with Catholics in the second
issue of this question. Consistency will
make them our friends in the future
