IHE other day, as Mayor McFadin and
1. M. Guggenheimer, of Logansport, Ind,
were out hunting on the prairie, they
came across q very large and very odd
procession. The weather had been dry,
ana the ponds on the prairie had failed in
water. The turtles and frogs who had
peen living and thriving in the vicinity
OF the ponds had thus been cut off
rom their supplies. They stood it for a
day or two, but finally became too "dry"
Tor frog endurance and decided to migrate.
When seen by the Mayor and Mr. Gug.
genheimer, they were marching in solemn
procession across the prairie to q pond
three miles distant The procession was
three-quarters of mile in length and one
quarter in width. The turtles were in the
lead, the frogs bringing up the rear The
mayor vouches for the truth of the story.
This occurred about six miles northeast
OF kentland, Newton County. According
10 an eyewitness, the frogs seemed afraid
OF the turtles and remained behind. They
travelled at the rate of one mile in three
hours, and reached their "spa" about sun.

IHE Baltimore american describes one
OF the most mysterious works of art, now
exhibiting in Paris, that has ever been
witnessed there. 1t is q diorama of the
siege of Paris, and all Paris is running
wild to view it. There is some species of
optical illusion in connection with it that
no one seems able to understand. Al.
though a painting, it so closely resembles
nature that on suddenly entering the hall
the spectator is bewildered, and Invariably
complains of dizziness as his eye scans
the intervening scenes and the distant
horizon preseEted to view. The building
in which the diorama is submitted is cir.
cular, and about 300 feet in diameter, with
glass dome. On entering it the visitor
passes along rather dark passage to
what seems the centre of the building,
and then finds himself on a circular plat.
form on the top of a veritable hill of earth,
strewn with cannon ball and shell, the OBJ.
Ject OF the artist being to place him in the
fort of Issy, surrounded on every side by
the incidents of the siege, with the city of
Paris and its monuments, domes, and
steeples, in the distance. By close exam
ination it could be discovered that the
nearer earthwOrks of the picture, and even
some of the cannon, for distance of
thirty or sixty feet from the edge of the
platform, is veritable earth and undoubted
cannon, and real willow gabions and sand
bags, but the exact spot where the sub.
stantials ended and the canvas began was
not so easily detected The whole seems
to be piece of legerdemain in art that
has never been attempted before.

The Issues.

Governor Carpenter of Iowa, opened the
political campaign in that State, at Cedar
Rapids, on the nth. His speech was
mainly devoted to local affairs, but the fol-
lowing upon the issues between the two
parties will prove interesting reading to
Republican readers;
When the Republican party came into power, on
the 4th OF March, 1861, It's avowed object was to
limit slavery to the territory which ii then occu-
pied. 1t had made other pledges TO the people,
such as promising the passage Of homestead
railway; but the vital question was the issue Of
slavery extension. We were told by the Demo-
cratic party that slavery could not be limited by
Congressional interference, and il such attempt
was maze Ii would result in dissolved
Union, majority OF the people, however, could
not be driven from their political convictions by
menaces, and therefore went forward in their de-
the pro-slayery policy which had before given di-
rection to the administration Of the government
The Southern States met this resolution with re-
beliOn and war. When war came 1t required no
discussion nor extraordinary stimulant with the
great mass Of the Republican party to bring them
sernly to-resOlye that whatever might betide, the
union Of the States should be preserved. large
majority Of the Democratic party, however, Oppos-
cd every policy Of coercion, and, either through
faith in the intelligence tenacity, bravery, and
patriotism OF the American people, boldly pro-
claimed their belief that the rebellion could not,
ought not, and would not be conquered by arms.
They appealed to the past, declaring II to be the
teaching Of all history that 100000 OF people,
firmly united and striking for common cause,
had never been oyerthrown by an army OF inyas'

II is q sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habtual con
dition is one OF languOr and debility. They COM

affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their more

In nine cases out Of ten this state Of lassitude

CAN IT BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months a considerable number Of persons
have called upon DR.. Walker, the pro-
prietor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief his preparation is an in
fallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of
the statements. This new claim of great
remedy to the confidence of the public
will give vast and well-deserved impulse
to its popularity. Heretofore the BrTTERs
have been recognized as a pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol
and thoroughly adapted to the cure of
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular
diseases, and, indeed, majority of the
ailments within the reach of medicine !;
but if it will also cure the craving for
liquor and tobacco, philosophers, states
men and theologians ought to unite their
voices in its praise, Can the good news
be true I 1t is easy to test the question.
