The Toronto Christian Guardian says
of the wife of Commodore Vanderbilt:
"Mrs. Vanderbilt belongs to a wealthy
Southern family, her mother being q
cousin of Mr.. Vanderbiit's. She is a
relative of Bishop McTyeire, of the
Southern Methodist Church. She is
about thirty years of age, tall and
queenly in form, and beautiful in fea-
ture; and, what is better, is an accom-
plfshed Christian lady, a worthy MEM
Der, of, the Methodist Church, and an
active worker in Church and Sabbath
school work"
Michelet admits that his estimates
of the women he has written of are
Valueless because of his worship OF
them. His passion for Madame Guy
on was so excessive that he used for
whole days to sit before her picture,
adoring, apostrophizing and invoking
her sympathy, when he ought to have
been writing. He married his second
wife, a poor governess, because he de-
tected in her a resemblance to this di-
vinity of his youthful days. The man.
-uscripts of the chapters of his French
history relation to Joan of Arc are in
many ulaces blotted out with tears.

PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Ohio Democratic
State Convention, July 2, 1869.

1. RESOLVED, That the exemption
from tax of over two thousand five
hundred million dollars in govern
ment bonds and securities, is unjust to
the people and ought not to be tolerat-
ed, and that we are opposed to any
appropriation for the payment of in.
terest on public bonds until they are
made subject toytaxation.
2. RESOLVED, That the claims of the
bond holders, that the bonds which
we're bought with greenbacks and the
principal of which is by law payable
in currency, should nevertheless be
paid in gold, is unjust and extortionate
and if persisted in will inevitably force
upon the people the question of repu-
diation.
8. RESOLVED, That we denounce the
high-protective. tariff, which was de-
signed only IN the interests of New
England manufacturers. That said
