The Toledo Blade tells story of a North

comrade, he said;

Yes, she married another fellow before I gol

Nitro Glycerine.

A correspondent Of the Springfield Union

this formidable explosive, the processes of its
manufacture and how it is disposed Of:

The works are situated about 20 rods north
ofthe west shaft, in plot of ten acres, sur
rounded by a. high board fence. Over the
gateway are to be seen the ominous words,
"Nitro glycerine works. All persons are
warned to keep away from the grounds

statement, for visitors are so thoroughly
afraid of the very name that they keep a. far
away as possible, and the workman say they
are never troubled with company. Entering

ton Of the Democratic party to power.
The overthrow Of the Republican party in
this parish and city has evidently been
thoroughly studied for months, and every
preparation made to make it a success.
The opposition has halted at nothing, and
has acted as if prompted BY the jesuitical
belief that the end sanctifes the
means" An indiscriminate onslaught
was at first made on al Republican Office
holders; on the government, attacking the
Governor, the Legislature, the Judges Of
the Supreme Court and many Of the
Judges Of the inferior courts in the most
scandalous manner. After charging
Governor Warmoth with almost every
crime that is possible for man to commit,
the opposition finally concluded 70 join
hands with him in ali effort to defeat the
Republicans Of this State and tie United

lars, that there is material difference to
the publisher between being paid cash for
political notices, and charging the account
to clubs. But, while the Democrats are
better able to pay current expenses than
the Republicans, we suppose they are not
very lively about paying newspaper bills.
We dismiss the charge against the Times
and Pjcay1s12e that they refused to advertise
the doings, past or prospective, of the
''8tralght-outers" as mot proved" But
we know from actual observation that
these great Liberal organs have turned
their backs upon all that remains Of the
great party whose cause they were only
last year but too proud to uphold
| This fact discloses a wonderful change
in the public sentiment Of New Orleans,
Tor no one can doubt that # there were
any life ii the old party, any political or
even commercial influence, or even any
prospective advantage to be derived from

now remains Of pure Democracy, the astute
conductors Of che Liberal papers would
actin this shabby manner. They are not
IN the habit OF Quarreling with their bread
and butter, OF sailing against q strong
public opinion. Such conduct would be
az variance with their unvarying policy.
We therefore infer that the independent
and uncompTomised Democrats have been
