From this IL appcan:-1. That onesev-
enth part Of the females who marry in
England are married between the ages
Of Is and 20, or one-seventh part Of q
womans chances Of marriage lies between
those years. 2. That fully one-half Il
al the women who marry are married
between 20 and rs, or one-half Of wo-
mans chances are comprised within these
five years. 3. That between IS and 25,
precisely two-thirds Of a woman's chances
of marriage are exhausted, and only one
third remains for the rest of her life up
20. 4. That at 30 no less than IS chance
out of the 100 are gone, and Is, or about
one-seventh, only remain. She has strong
reason now for improving her time. 5.
At 35, q fraction, a tenth, Is all that re-
mains to her, which is reduced to a
twentieth at 40. 6. At As her chances
Of marriage have sunk to one-fortieth,
and at 80, to one-hundredth. At 60 there
is still glimmering of hope, for it ap-
pears that among females about one mar
riage in 1000 takes place at and beyond
this age. The number of women mar
ried between Is and 20 is six times
greater than the number of men. The
number Of men and women married be-
tween 20 and 25 is very nearly equal; ;
but the number of men married at all
higher ages is greater than the numbe,
of women.

N. Y. Day-Besk On Blaatsn
Duncan.

We gave up the advocacy Of the
Louisville Convention because we lost all
hope in its success. We felt that the a.
cred principles for which we have 80 long,
so faithfully contended could not afford
to be tinkered and experimental with by
adventures, or by mere dreamers. Two
things we discovered about the individ-
ual who assumed almost the entire man.
agement Of the Louisville Convention.
First, he may almost literally be said to
be selfappointed 70 the role he Is playing,
and we discovered that he utterly disre-
garded the counsel Of some Of the wisest.
truest and 6rmest frienfe of our cause
of men, indeed, who have Q national
reputation rs gentleman of great intellect
and unsupported honor. The advice Of
these well-tried veterans and sagacious
politicians was treated with contempt.
This was the first blow to our faith in the
success Of the proposed convention. We
felt that the cause was too great and too
sacred to become a prey to mere adven-
turous desire for notoriety. Secondly,
we discovered that the anteccdenk Of the
individual who insisted on his own indi-
viduality in everything, were such as not
to inspire the confidence of true Demo
crats. A man who slid from the bitter
est type Of Whigs into the most violent
abyss Of Know-Nothingism, is certainly
not the most hopeful prop to pure old
Democracy, without which the movement
against the Cincinnati platform and nom-
inees is mere farce. We know that
nothing but the affirmation of the purest
Jeffersonian Democracy would be. accept
ed by that large and most respectable
class of Democrats who reject the Gin
cinnati platform which the Baltimore
Convention uuwisely accepted. But We
discovered that the gentleman whose self.
assumption had made him the apparent
architect of the fortunes of the proposed
new convention knew nothing of the true
principles of Democracy, and had no
comprehension whatever Of the vast and
important movement.

plause will put no more power, energy.
and zeal into bis work than is just suffi,.
lent to produce the desired reward. The
laborer will relax his force or shorten his
time, if possible. the manufacturer will
use inferior materials, the author and ora
tor will cater to the taste of their patron,
rather than enforce unpalatable truth.,
and a politician will serve his party rathei
than his country's best welfare. But
could they be imbued with the higher
aim Of real usefulness to mankind, and
OF making their work a means Of good

Seuthern Cstssn Crops.

The cotton crop in North Alabama, rs
q general thing, is lamentable failure,
and from our Texas exchanges we learn
that the Boil worm and Army worm are
playing sad havoc with the cotton crop in
that section.
We learn from the Pduiding miss. }
Messeager that the growth and develop
ment of cotton is slow, and the yield will
probably fall far short of what was hoped
for few weeks ago. The worm is still
working slowly, but not doing mucli
damage.
The Ya-oo miss. Democrat says
.rhe genuine cotton worm is undoubt-
ediy al work, and we may hook for re-
duction of at least fourth on original
calculations.
Reports from all sections of Arkansas
say that the present drought has injured
the cotton crop at least one-third.
Planters from West Tennessee and
North Mississippi state that drought is
causing cotton to rust and shed, and un-
less they have a rain very soon late cot
ton will be an entire failure, and early
planting will suffer seriously.
