POLITICAL HEWS AND NOTES.

The Democracy of Vigo, at their approaching convention prop»e to "combine the elemental"

The New York

Free Trader

comes to ug

aadly shorn of its former liberal dimensions. It is a sort of half-mast recognition of Schenck's "little tariff."

The great column of Democracy

Crisis

Daily Neva,

the

announces that

the new Democraticpaper

to be started at Columbus, will go through with flying colors, and that it wants no assistance from loyal papers. If the

Crisis

is to stand godfather to it

there is not much danger of permanent assistance from any source. That the Democracy can and will sue ceed in Vigo eounty next October, we entertain no doubt whatever, everything indicates this result if we but do our duty well.—Journal.

That's a brave whistle, but the Democracy have heard it so long that itha^ failed to have the desired effect. Every thrashing that the Democratic party ha? ever received has been preceded by just such bloviating as the

Journal

is doing

now. The crisis demands that the utmost harmony should govern the Democracy in their deliberations.—Journal.

Then why did yon go in for the land' grabbing scheme, knowing that you could not carry your party with you?

The radicals in Congress have given away all the lands that have been aona ted to railroads and the radical Presidents have sanctioned all the swindle.-—Jour

nal.

And you hava urged Congress to give 360,000,000 acres more! Repeatedly, during the past twelve years, one branch of Congress, at the instigation of claim agentB, has passed a bill to grant pensions to soldiers of the war of 1812—not to those who became invalids in the service, who have always had pen1 sions, but to every one indiscriminately who survives the service. This involves an expenditure of millions annually, and ia without a shadow of justifiable excuse, The Senate is of course expected to defeat the bill, as it has done heretofore.

Democrat could do no act that would please Radical press and lead' era.—Journal.the

Do you intend that as a confession that a Democrat cannot, possibly, do right? The "Radical press and leaders" are always ready to commend the right and condemn the wrong. We have even found occasion to commend the acts of our M. C. in two or three instances, and are always on the alert to notice anything in his conduct worthy of favoiable mention. If he is so seldom praised and so often blamed it is because he persists in doing those thing9 which ought not to be done, and leaving undone those things which ought to be done. While we regard his present stumping tour as a blameworthy thing, an abandonment of public duties to attend to private interests, we see in it one thing that cannot but be gratifying to Republi* cans: It is a palpable confeseion of the weakness of his chances for re-election. Did he not feel that his case was desperate, he would not be shirking the duties devolving upon him as a public servant, in order to canvass hi? District in advance of his nomination.

Michigan antiquaries are excited over the discovery in Allegon county, in a level piece of heavy timbered land, of mound of earth, with abase sixteen eighteen feet, and now perhaps four or five feet high. On the summit grows a beech tree, not very large, but with a gnarly look, as if the kind of food its roots have met below have not agreed with it.

flurishing maple, lower clown

the mound where it probably did not find so much dead man, has attained the size of two feet in diameter. This mound has a stack of human bones. A slight opening has been made on the top, and skulk and similar horrors taken therefrom. But very little of this big grave has been disturbed, and the bony fragments lie scattered about it.

The Clolsterbam Closet. Dickens, in his minor descriptions of familiar and domestic things, has seldom been more felicitous than in this sketch of Mrs. Chrisparkle's sweetmeat closet in the last pages of "JEdwin Drood

It was a most WDMerful roiet, worthy of Cloisterhana and of Minpn Canon Corner. Above it a portrait Handel in a flowing wig, beamed down at the spectator, with a knowing air of being up to the closet, and a musical air of intending to combine all the harmonies in one, delicious fugue. No common closet with a vulgar door on hinges, openable all at once, and leaving'nothing to be disclosed degrees, this rare closed had a a lock ui mid-»ir, where two perpendicular slides met the one falling down, and the other pushing up. The upper slide being pulled down (leaving the lower a double mystery.) revealed deep shelves pf picklejars, jam-pots, tin canisters, spice-boxes, and agreeable outlandish vessels of blue and white, the lucious lodging of reserved tamarinds and ginger

The pickles, in a uniform of rich brown double-brested buttoned coat and yellow or sombre drab continuations, announced their portly forms, in printed capitals, asjWalnut, Gherkin, Onion, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Mixed and other members of that noble family. The jams, as being of less masculine temperament and as wearing curl-papers, announced them in feminine caligraphy, like a soft

ricot, Plum, Damson, Apple and Pear. The scene closing on these charmers, and the lower slide ascending, oranges were revealed, attended by a mighty japanned sugar-box to temper their acerbity if un ripe. Home-maae biscuits waited at the Court of these Powers, accompanied by a goodly fragment of jilum cake, and various slender ladies' fingers, to be dipped into sweet wine and kisskl. Lowest ef all, a compact leaden vault enshrined the sweet wine and a stock of cordials: whence issued whispers of Seville orange, lemon, and carraway seed. There was a crowning air upon this closet of closets, of having been for ages hummed through by the cathedral bell and organ, until those venerable bees had made sublimated honey of every thing in store and it was always observed that every dipper among the shelves (deep, tis has been noticed and swallowing up head, shoulders anc elbows) came forth again mellow-faced, and seeming to have undergone,a saccharine transfiguration."

A Wise Old Dog

A writer in the Portland Press tells some remarkable stories of a dog that be longed to a Mr. Skillings, of Bangs, Island, in Casco Bay. He says:

When desirous of a change of life, he would swim to Portland, a distance of over two miles, and,after passing a week visiting, return. He would sometimes be found.at Commercial wharf by Mr. Skil lings, after several 'days absence, sitting in his boat, in which he had come to town, and awaiting Mr. Skillings' com ing on board to take him home. He had accompanied Mr. Skillings, at^ various times, to Watt's Ledger, near Richmond Island, seven miles from Bangs' Island, on gunning excursions after sea-fowl, and he was a most excellent retriever.

On one occasion, as the dog was getting old, Mr. Skillings left his house without him and, as necessary for sea-fowl gunning, before daylight. The dog, finding his master gone, swam to Cape Elizabeth to some part of the shore, which required swimming nearly a mile, and went to Cape Elizabeth Lights, a distance of six miles or more, where he remained until Mr. Skillings passed in his boat on his return, when the dog swam to the boat, was taken aboard, and returned home with his master. On another oc casion Mr. Skillings shot two sea-fowls while he was standing on top of Baldhead, eighty feet above the sea. The dog made directly for the water, by running down until he approached the precipice thirty or forty feet above the water, when he leaped in, seized the two fowls and swam with them around to the cove. A common excursion for him in his latter days was to swim to House Island, merely to play with the sheep, which, though play to him, was a great worrv to them, for they in their fright would make for the water, and too many of them being drowned, the owners were compelled to shoot him.

The writer concludes thus: People who are curious in such matters may discriminate as they pleas between

instinct and reason, and how much less than reason was shown in some of the above cases. It is well suggested, how ever, that a high dog instinct appears more elevated, at least, than a low order of hu man reason.

The Sailor's Story.

"I've been fourteen years a sailor, Mis* and I've found that in all parts of the world I could get along as well without alcoholic liquors as with them, and bet ter too. "Some years ago, when we lay in Ja maica, several of us were sick with ihe fever, and among the rest, the second mate. The doctor had been given him brandy to keep him up.' But thought it was a queer kind of 'keeping, up! Why, you see, it stands to reason Miss that if you heap fuel on the fire it will burn faster, and putting brand to a fever is just the same thing. Brandy is more than half alcohol, you know. "Well, the night the doctor gave him up I was set to watch with him. No medicine was left, for it was of no use. Nothing would help him, and I had my directions what to do with the body when he was dead. "Toward midnight he asked for water. I got him the coolest I could find and gave him all he wanted, and then three hours he drank three gallons. The sweat rolled off him like rain. Then he sank off and I thought sure he was gone, but he was sleeping, and as sweetly as a child. In the morning, when the doctor came, he asked what time the mate died. 'Won't you go in and look at him?' said I. "He went and took the mate's hand 'Why,' said he, 'the man is not dead He's alive and doing well! What have you been giving him?' 'Water, simply water, and all be wanted ofitl'saia 1. "1 don't know as the doctor learned anything from that, but I did, and no doctor puts alcoholics down me, or any of my folks, for a fever. I can tell you I am a plain, unlettered man, but I know too much to let any doctor burn me up with alcohol."—Temperance

A Bank Sued for Charging Too Hifb a Bate, More than Legal Interest. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday an information, in the nature of a

quo warranto,

was presented by District

Attorney Swope against the Second National Bank of Erie. It is a proceeding instituted under the act of Congress, which provides that when a bank takes more than the legal rate of interest allowed by the State, the charter of such bank is liable to bf forfeited. After setting forth the facts connected wuh the organization of the bank, the information goes on to charge that it has taken and received upon loans and discounts made upon notes, bills of ex change, and other evidences of debt, more than the rate of interest allowed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, in violation of the 13th section of the act of Congress aforesaid, as passed in 1864. A process was awarded by the Court, on motion of Mr. Swope, returnable June 20th, at Williamsport. No specific violations of the act are set forth in the information, but it is stated by the authorities that the bank has been collecting as high as «eight or nine per cent, oh its loans.—Pittsburg
