Vide A,OdkeS:-For the compliment you pay
me by your presence here this evening, as
well as for the hOnors you have heretofore
conferred upon me, permit me to thank yOn.
To be called upon by SC large a company Of
intelligent enthusiastic and Wide Awake
Republicans, many of whom have long been
my personal friends, is to me exceedingly
gratifying, and should be alike insensible
and ungrateful, if failed to appreciate and
acknowledge the compliment. l assure you,
gentlemen, that l fully appreciate the kind
and friendly feeling that induces you to call
here this evening, and let me assure you,
Wide Awakes, that /, in common with other
Republicans Of this city, appreciate your de-
votion to the principles of the great cause in
which we are engaged. If the Republicans
| all over were as enthusiastic and untiring in
their efforts as you are, an easy and brilliant
victory would be the result Of the present
campaign But, gentlemen, l must not
detain you; you came here to pay me a COM
pliment and not to hear me talk.


Your are on your way to pay your respects
| to our esteemed friend and fellow citizen, Mr..
Riddle, who has been honored with the nom
ination for Congress from this Congressional
District. While say to you that Mr.. Riddle
was not my choice, and that l labOred ear
nestly, honestly and faithfully to secure the
| nomination ofthat man WIN above all others


occupies the first place in my Affections a
man who it is my pleasure to believe IS with
out a superior in the West, l can say with the
same candor, and asI have at all times and
in all places said, that believe Mr.. Riddle to
be an honorable, high minded man, and in
every way worth the confidence repOsed in
him. By his own energy and ability he has
raised himself to high and proud position,
/ and am happy to congratulate him upon the
brilliant future that is before him.


When came to this city ten years since, a
boy and a stranger, had the good fortune to
make the acquaintance of Franklin 7. Back
u.s. and for three years was a student in his
Office. and had the benefit of his advice and
example, for which l shall ever be grateful.

known.


Duriug the excited contest which has Just
| terminated in the nomination of Mr. Riddle,
| am confident he has not said an unkind
| word of Mr.. Baekus or his friends, for as l
before said, believe him to be an honorable
and high-minded man. but l cannot say as

ATEsE-one Of the best ways Of ascertainina

to dying man. Not one of them has ever prc.
bounced life of sin vice, or a death in sin desir.

The FEELING IN North LouIsIANA-The
following paragraph from the Patriot of
Jackson parish, indicates thattllc patri-
otism of the northern portion of the
State is as sensitive and higli-toned, as
that which prevails with such unanimity
in the lower parishes. Indeed the country
is moving to meet the crisis:


We are all determined to have our
rights let them cost what they may.
There is not u man amongst us who is
unfavorable to y convention being called
In the event of Linco!n's election, and
not one who would hold an office under
him. This is our impression, formed
from all the information we have been
able to derive. If there is a man in
jackson parish or North Louisiana who
would hold Office under Lincoln or vote
against a convention, we would like to
hear from him. He would be set down
i'll history as an Arnold or Barr.

ColLc IN HoRsEs.-A correspondent OF
the Farmers Advocate says:


/ knew horse taken with collie while
on tread-wheel to carding machine,
so that the owner thought he could not
live. He got three veterinary surgeons,
and they did what they could, and all
decided that the horse must die. The
mans wife, who believed and practiced
hygiene, from the time the horse was
taken tried to persuade her husband to
use wet bandage, but he insisted it
would do no good. After all had given
up that the horse could no longer live,
by her entreaties (the doctor saying it
could do no good or hurt), he took
thick bed comforter, bound it around the
horse, went to the well AND drew water,
and poured it on till thoroughly soaked.
1t steamed like pot boiling. In less
than fifteen minutes from the time he
commenced the watering process the
horse was up and eating, to the great
surprise of the horse doctor, who knew
he could not live. The horse did good
service afterwards.

We do not know where we picked
up the following bit of fun and wisdom,
but wherever it came from it is good.
There is genuine humor in the idea
that an Arkansas man finds the most
natural expression even of parting ad-
vice to his son, in the language of the
card table, and the manner in which he
terms the game of 'eucher' to the
game of life, is ingenious. The advice
translated into the ordinary language
of caution and warning, is about as
good as ever we encountered.


Bob, you are about leaving home
for strange parts. You are going to
throw ME out of the game and go it
alone. The odds is agin You, Bob,
but remember always that industry and
perseverance are the winning cards
they are the bowers Book learning
and all that sort Of things will do to
fill up with, like small trumps, bnt you
must have the bowers to make 'em,
else they aint worth shucks. If the
luck runs agin you pretty strong, don't
cave in and look like sick chicken on
a rainy day, but hold your head up and
make them believe you are flush of
trumps; they won't play so hard agin
you. have lived and travelled around
some, Bob, and have found out that
as soon as folks thought you held a
weak hand, they would buck agin you
strong. So, when they are sorter weak,
keep on bold front, play cautious; be
satisfied with pint. Many is the hand
have seen euchered because they
played for too much. Keep your eyes
skinned, Bob, do not let them mig on
you recollect the game lays as much
with the head as with the hands. Be
temperate, never get drunk, for then,
no matter how good yonr hand, you
will not know how to play it; both bow
ers and the ace will not save you, for
there is certain miss deal, or some
thing wrong. And another thing, Bob,
this was spoken in a lower tone,) do
not go too much on the women queens
is kinder poor cards; the more you
have of them the worse for you; you
might have three and nary trump. l
do not say disregard them all; if you
get hold on one that is sartin to be one
out of four. And above all, Bob, be
honest; never take mans trick that
does not belong to you, nor slip cards,
or mig, for then you cannot look your
man in the face, and when that is the
case there is no fun in the game; it is
regular cutthroat.' So now Bob, fare
well, remember what / tell you, and
you will be sure to win, and if you don't
it sarves you just right If You get

Make me a child again, just COR tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore-
Kiss from my forhead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads of my heart
Over my slumpers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep

am so weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recompense-tears all in vain
Take them, and give me my childhood again.

Weary of finging my soul-wealth away
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you!
Many summerthe grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded, our faces between
Yet with strong warnings and passionate pain,
Long tonight for your presence again;
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl
Over my heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shone-
No other worship abides and endures,


Faithful, unselfsh and patient like yours
None like mother can charm away pain


From the sick soul and the world-weary brain;
Slumbers soft calms o'er my henvy lids creep
Rock me to sleep. mother-rock me to sleep!


Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold
Fall on your shoulders again of old


Let it drop over my forehead tonight,


Shading my faint eyes away from the light


Far with its sunny-edged shadows once more
Happily will throng the sweet visions of yore,
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep


Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!


Mother, dear mother, the years have been long
Since last listened your lullaby song


Sing then, and unto my soul it shall seem


Womanbood's years have been only dream;


Clasped to your heart in loving embrace,


With your light lashes just sweeping my face,


Never hereafter to wake or to weep,


Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl

when vessel is full Of water any
solid substance immersed in it will


cause it to overflow, and such will be


the case if the substance, is not solu-

truth that in disSolving a body, you
DO not increase the volume of the


solvent, may be proved 10y simple


and interesting experiment. Saturatc
a certain quantity OF water, at a mod
crate heat, with three ounces of sugar;
and when it will no longer receive
that, there is room in it for two
ounces Of salt Of tartar, and after that
for an ounce and dram of green Wit

The Democratic party presents the names of
John V. Scott and A. J. Reed for the position of
Supervisors for the first and third districts re-
spectvely.


The Office of Supervisor is really of more i'm
mediate importance to the taxpayers of this
county than that of Assemblyman, or even the
Presidency itself; and hence we are glad that
we so cheerfully invoke them to vote for
our nominees.


John V. Scott, the nominee of the first or
Shasta district, is an old citizen, and is well
known as the proprietor of the Franklin Hotel.
He is a man of fine abilities, has clear head, is
honest, and is known to be first rate business
man. At least he attends to his own business
well, and it is fair to presume that a man who
does that, will also attend to the business Of
the public in faithful manner


Of Mr.. Reed say with perfect truthful
ness all we have said of Mr.. Scott He enjoys
the reputation of truthful and honest citizen.
No man who knows him doubts his fitness for
the Office. That he is possessed of good bust
ness talents is evidenced by his success in the
conducting of his own affairs.


We believe Mr.. Reed has opposition, but
will be elected. Mr.. Scott has also oppo-
sition, but not enough to spur him out of very
quiet gallop over the course.

The regular Democratic Ticket, as heretofore,

portion of them printed on rcd paper. How
ever, the greater portion of the tickets sent to
the eastern side of the Sacramento are printed

look at the Ticket carefully, see that it has on it
for electors the names of De La Guerr, Griffith,

John White. We publish under the editorial
