ressnI.as In Council.

The leading Possums have been
holding a pow-wow at Washington,
recently, for the purpose of swap
ping IDEAS on the question of doing
or not doing. August Belmont,
Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, Pomeroy's alis-
tocrat, was there, and about forty
of the leading Democratic possnms
ofhoth branches OF Congress-. Such
ones as Casserly, Frank Blair,
Stockton and Bayard shot off their
mouths in opposition to holding n
Convention or indicating any policy
or position until after the meeting
of the Cincnnatl Convention. They
were all agreed that q coalition
with the Republican "sole heads"
was an absolute necessity as meas
ure of strength, but they were
"tornist" Welding any oftheir DEM
oatic principles! They thought
it would not be prudent for Demo-
crats to participate in the Cincinnati
Convention. They were pr'dish,
very shy, about endorsing Judge
Davis. They talked about the
possibilities Of nominating Irum-
bull, Brown, ETC., and in all ofthese
proceedings, they we'll sustained
their possum proclivities.

as TO the white. Although the
bill PROPOSES TO educate these classes
separately, yet these "Cused be
Canaan" Democrats, prefer that a
large class Of white children, the
progeny of the poor--for whom
they profess 50 much sympathy now
should grow up in ignorance,
rather than favor a measure which
will educate al children alike.
Herein Oregon, a Democratic Leg
islatme possessed such q high ap-
preciatioD Of the educational inter-
csts Of the State, and took such a
deep mterestlin the welfare of the
peoples children, as, without the
shadow of a law to justify them,
to appropriate some two hundred
thousand dollars of the Public
funds for the purpose of building
locks, and that, too, in the face Of a
bid from responsible parties to build
tile locks for seventy-iive thousand
dollars leSs. That two hundred
thousand dollars was intended to
be used for the one sole purpose
Of educating the children Of this
State in ''orthography and syntax,"
etc; and the Democratic l.egisla-
ture committed a great error, as
well as a palpable fraud, in thus
misappropriating those funds. We
sumise, however, that the fault of
numbering the "King's English"
is not confined to Republican
platforms alone. 1t is said that

The assertion that the Rcpubli-
can party in its policy is no friend
of the poor man, is mwarnnted
by facts, and comes with about as
much semblance OF consistency
from the Democracy, as an asser-
tion or pretension to truth would
come from "Old Nick" 1t is a
matter Of Congressional record that
every attempt which has been made
by the Republican party in Con-
gress with a view to reduce taxa
ton, has been opposed most ear
nestly by Democratic members; !;
but Notwithstanding this persistent
opposition, the Republican party
has, by its own inherent strength,
expuhgcd from the tax-lists some
t,ee1ce thousand articles, thus re-
pcaling direct taxes 70 the amount
Of over s8O,oOO,OOC. The public
debt is a Democratic legacy-the
cause Of these high taxes-and the
Republican party are paying that
at the rate of over q hundred mil
lion dollars per annum, while Dem
ocracy stands off and sneers at it.

most admirably in getting one off

BY KATE PUTNAM oSGooD.

How long wilt thou the mock remain
Of dwarfs who leave thee thus behind?
Or can heroic mould contain
A lesser soul than pigmy kind
Wilt thou have lived through manhood's orime
Yet not have known what living meant? 4
In the grand battle of thy time
No blow have struck, no aid have lent?
Thon sttest nerveless in the dust
Unmndfnl of the glorious fray
Neglected in their scabbard ruet
The weapons that should cut thy way.
OF thine own untried strength afraid,
Nor daring to be wholly great, a..
Thou offerest for thine idle blade,
The coward facile plea of fate
Fate what is fate? weak chance, that holds
: Distrustful purpose in its bands;
A SPIDERS web, whose fimsy folds
Are spun about giants handsi
Wouldst thou but once essay the might,
The god-like stature given thee
Swift as a strong flame to its height
Thou shouldst leap up erect and free.
But fear the fate thyself may make
For customss quicksand yet can drown,
And thine own powers ungoverned, take
Rebellious force to drag thee down.

Sinks lower than the pigmy cam

AN OLD LADY's ADVICE TO HER Son

Now, John, listen to me, for I am older
than you, OR | couldn't be your mother
Never do you marry young woman, John,
before you have contrived to happen at the
house where she lives atsleast four or five
times before breakfast. You should take
notice whether her complexion is the same
in the morning as in the evening, or wheth-
err the wash and towel have robbed her Of
her evening bloom. You should take care
to surprise her, sothat you may see her in
her morning dress, and observe how her
hair looks when she is not expecting you
If possible, you should be where you can
hear the morning conversation between her
and her mother. If she is ill natured and
snappish to her mother, SO she will be to
you, depend upon it. But if you find her
up and dressed neatly, with combed hair,
the same ready and pleasant answers to her
mother which characterized her department
in the evening, and particularly if she is
lending helping hand to get the breakfast
ready IN good season, she is prize, John,
and the sooner you secure her to yourself

A SLEEPING BEAurY.-A correspondent
of the Louisville Cowier-Journm has been
to see the sleeping beauty of Tennessee,
at Union City. He says of her:
"She has slept for twenty-three years, is
awake thirteen times in twenty-four hours,
remaining awake only seven minutes each
time, and no power on earth can force her
to stay awake one second longer. She
breathes only at intervals of five minutes,
and at such times she seems to do so with
great difficulty, only drawing two or three
respiratioas, then falling back as though
she were dead While awake she eats,
drinks and talks for few minutes She is
as white as the whitest marble, and is per
fectly beautiful. She has 40 education. All
the medical skill of the country around there
has been bafled as to her case, and she has
been sent to St. Louis and there examined
by the most prominent physicians. but they
have not been able to solve her case. She
is now on exhibition at the Southern Hotel.
Union City, Tenn. She is thirty-one years
old, and was sprightly girl up to eight
years, when she was stricken, and has re.
manned ever since as she now is"

Ladies' Dresses.

A sensible writer truly says: The secret
OF woman's dressing well, simply consists
in her knowing the three grand unities o.
dress-her own position, her own age, and
her own points, and no woman can dress
we'll who does not. After this we need moi
say that whoever is attracted by the costume
will not be disappointed in the wearer. She
may not be handsome or accomplished, but
we will answer for her being even tempered,
well-informed, thoroughly sensible, aud a
complete lady"
Another fact we would like toimpress upon
our young lady readers. 1t is not always
necessary to follow style to be fashionable
A costume, most elegant and stylish, upon
the tall handsome Miss Blonde, would be
absolutely dowdy upon the short stout and
joyous Miss NOR.
A young English Robleman, while trav-
cling in America, became deeply interested
in young country girl, who had never
even visited city or large town. He was
most anxious to make;her his wife; but
knowing the fastidious tastes of his family
he feared to take among them one who could
certainly have no knoYledge in the art of
dress. His companion. an older and wiser
man, suggested, as no better opportunity
to see the young lady in full dress in Der
country home. that she and her sisters should
attend ball in a neighboring place The
invitation was accepted, and tbe sim pie
toilet of the country girl SO charmed her no.
BILE lover that he at once offered her his
hand and heart
Is she the only one who ever won hus-
band by her taste in dress? We think not !;
for although men certainly desire other
qualities in wife, we never knew one who
objected TO seeing his wife we'll and taste
fully attired
