Gliding with a marked political principle,
once conceived and held up to the angry
passions of men, will never be Obliterated,
but grow deeper and deeper with every
new irritation.
The fact that even the destruction of
.l.yery, followed by nineteen years Of
Abolition rule, or mis-rule. has not closed
tho sectional breach, nor scared the broad,
red line of division from Maryland to Mis-
oouri is q sad verification of the remark.
II needed but a few weeks after the Bal
timore conventions to show that Douglass
and Breckenridge would virtually divide
tho Democracy into .Northern" and
southern" factions, though each had
some support in the opposite sections. 1t
was a wretched piece Of business. Both
sides were unduly hasty, and perversely OBJ
stinate, yet must lay the greater portion
of blame upon Mr.. Douglass, personally.
He was a great mar, of the first states
men of his day. But his pride of leader
shin. bis towering ambition, his restiveness
in party traces except when generally de-
ferred to, as prinus inter pores, made him
nearly as dangerous to his political asso-
.ciates as to the opposition. Intellectually
he was truly a Little Giant" but his free
state leanings, like Simpsons dallyings
with Delilah, gave the Republican Philis-
tines an OppoI II ~ uoC hio SiSaC
for pulling down his own party, and pre-
cipitating the whole country, friend and foe
alike into the vortex of Civil War
ALL IN THE FIELD.
The miserable folly ofthe Democrat split
becomes the more glaring in view Of the
fact that at the time of the Baltimore meet
ING. the Abolitionists had already taken the
field with unprecedented hurrah and enthu-
siasm.
On the 10th of May, a convention repre-
senting what was called the "Constitution-
al Union Party" made up chiefly of Old
Line Wings, with odds and ends from other
parties, moderate men of loose party afhlia-
tons, and business men, who caught at the
chance to avoid deeper water on either
side, assembled in Baltimore, and nemina-
ted John Bell, of Tenn, and Edward Ev-
erett, of Mass. The platform lodged all
troublesome issues and declared for the
Constitution, the union Of the States, and
the enforcement of the laws" As a boy Of

The great drouth in Virginia this year,
which caused many streams to dry up aud
seriously Elected lhserops has prompted
Gen, Ruggles of Freaerieksburs, in that
State, . devise some means o have rain
in sufficient quantities and at the proper
times to ensure against such occurrences
in the future. He has concluded that
conclusion Of the air, prOdGeed by dyna-
mite sent up 10 balloons, viii accomplish
the desired object, and has asked Congress
to appoint a special committee TO inquire
into the practicability Of his theory.
To produce rainfall by conclusion ofthe
air is no new idea. A gentleman Of Gecr-
gia, some six or eight years ago, advanced
the same theory, and contended that the
necessary conclusion could be produced BY
firing cauon, Another Georgian, then
resident ofDelaware, attacked the canon
aiding theory and ridiculed the author Of
it into silence through one flhe Georgia
journals Stin, If Gen. Ruggles can de
monstrate the utility of the dynamite plan,
he would be entitled TO some mark Of dis
tinction 10 recognition Of his wonderful
and useful discovery, In the eseut Of his
success we should be independent Of nature,
and could have rain whenever necessary.
II might be difficult to have rain at the
proper time aud place, so as to suit all, but
that might be obyiated BY each farmer keep
ing supply Of dynamite on his own farm,
to be used just when necessary. And still
another difficulty might be experienced by
the iarmerin having the rainfall only on his
own land, yet experience, no doubt, would
suggest to Gen. Ruggles some plan to reg
ulate the charge Of dynamite to produce a
certain extent Of rainfall, so that no man
would endanger bis ueighbor by food,
or an inopportune rain.
This is a progressive age, and II Gen.

A Boys Head Nearly Sawed OFF.

John MeEvoy, aged Is, whose parents live in
the southern part Of Patterson, N. j., on Mon.
day morning went 10 work in the Union Bolt
Works in Railroad Avenue, Patterson. At
about four o clock he was sent with another
boy to the carpenter shop Of the Watson Ma
phine Works near by for a keg Of sawduEt, to
be used In cleaning the 0astlugs In the bolt
workn. He erawled under the table OF a
circular saw for the sawdust. The saw bad
been stopped to mend the belt, aud the man
in charge did not notice the boy under the
table, and after mending the belt he started
the saw. II ran hard. as II it had struck q
knot 10 the plank, and the next minute the
man saw hat hy from under the table.
He stopped the machine and looked under
the table, and for the first time saw the boy,
with bis head almost literally sawed in two.
A subsequent examination showed that The
saw had run from near the back Of the eft
ear across the top Of the head, down thTongh
the forehead, holween the eye and the nose,
without iniuFing the eyeball, aud through the
nose, so that one nostril was sawed clear from
the the other. The saw penetrated The brain
around the car to the depth Of from one aud
a,half 10 three inches. Singular 10 say, the
bog retained his CONSEQUENCES throughout,

the lad could live only short time, and the
Rev. Father MeNulty was sent for. The lad
was IN tho physicians office over an hour,
and during this time was perfectly conscious,
and he told all about the accident. He said
the pain was very great, but be RETAINED
