THE ALARM SOUNDED.
a Protest by the Democratic STATE
Committee.

To the People of Illinois.
England had her Cromwell, France her
Napoleon. The dispersion Of the Parlia,
ment and the expulsion of the Council OF
Five Hundred by the bayonet form mem
orable epochs In the history of two OF the
great countries of Europe. The ruling
PARTY has marked similar epoch in the
history of the great Republic Of the New
'SVorld. Squirting the voice of the people
and deriding the dignity and authority OF
their chosen law givers, it has ordered the
most facile of it's military instruments to
drag the speaker of the Legislative Assem-
bly of an American State, Louisiana. from
his official chair, and to scatter the repre-
sentatives of the people of that State duly
assembled 10 the halls of legislation by the
bayonet The order has been swiftly and
reientlessly executed Louisiana is to-day
given over to her spoilers and plunderers
She lays PROSTATE and painting al
the feet of an invading host. What
does it import? Terrorism of the whole
South and the unholy subjugation of it t,
party ends. Let the tocsin be sounded
Danger is abroad in the land Freemen
awake! arise! or be forever fallen. Thu
sands of liberty run low. The alternative
of slavery or freedom is left you. Let tn
people speak out let the voice OF their IN
dignation roll and reverberate through tn
broad extent OF the land. Let them ris
up in their majesty. and, asserting thei
rights nut down the uSurDerS

Under the guidance of friend Dan
ncr, we undertook tour Of inspection
through this gentlcman's large and
varied stock of goods, first we took
the hack room, thcre the bagging and
ties arc piled up Gas Danncr snys) as
high rs the cellar, tlen camc Tie
clothing stock, and il any enc outside

attractive stock, we would like to see
it; the prices too, are really low down,
They are Offering bargains in these
goods that are we'll worth looking
after. Next we got oh the saddles,
and they just bcwildcred rs, harness
too, of all prices and qualities. Hard
ware Of all kinds, aud getting to the
front Of the store we come 10 all the
little "nick nncks" that ladies are so
fond of locking at" and buying too,
TO sum up the whole thing, Mr.. Cor
nelson's stock is complete, and any
one who goes there and cannot be
suited in any article they may want,
must be only some crusty old
bachelor, who needs the softeninc
and refining influence Of some old
maid, to knock such nonsense out OF
his head. All of the gentlemen
who are connected with this cstab-
lishment are polite and attentive, if
you go i'll to price n set Of cups and
'saucers, you will have a small stock
Of crockery piled up before you at
once, and "you pays your money and
takes your choice. If you don't want
to spend money keep away.

thought required the planning of an
experienced architect. To our sur

may not be willing to acknowledge it, the
happiness of the race depends to a great
extent upon the women. They regulate
the domestic life. and upon it, more than
upon the great events which fill the pages
Of history, depend individual peace and
comfort. Probably few things have more
to do with the happiness of the house
hold than the presence or absence of that
exquisite tact which rounds the sharp
corners and softens the asperities of diff
ferent characters, enabling people differ
ing most widely to live together in peace,
cheered by mutual good Offices The
possession of this quality is the especial
characteristic. and its exercise one of the
most delightful perogatives of woman
hood. We may be willing to loose all,
to die, if need be, for those we love, but
it We do not, from day to day, abstain
from the little unkind or thoughtless acts
which interfere with their comfort. we
shall utterly fail to make them happy.

A FRENCH LUNATIc.-Rousseau once
wrote eff it were only necessary for you
to hold out your thumb in order to u
the death of an immensely wealthy man
DARN In China, whose heir you would
be, are you shure that you would not ex-
tend your thumb ?" This passage one
day attracted the attention of Henri de
Lacrois, a young Frenchman of excellent
family. but whose brain was a little af-
fected by the loss of his fortune. He
thought "If / could stretch ont nv
thumb, and that wonld be enough to kill
my uncle and cousin, I should become
very rich" In a sort of hallucination
he extended his arm towards the photo
graphs of his relatives and said "Let
them die, SO that l may inherit" Fiji
teen days later his uncle and cousin were
carried off by typhoid fever. Within the
last Six months remorse preyed upon La
crois' enfeebled intellect, and he ina
gined that his spell had caused the death
OF bis relatives. He heard voices from
all sides of the room calling, "Thou hast
killed us Thou hast killed us I" He
delivered himself up to the police and
asked to be executed. He died a few
days ago in an insane asylum.
