Judge Douglass ix Illinois.-t-A correspondent of the New York Eveniag Mirror, in giving some sketches of Judge Douglass, of Illinois, puts the following story in Lis mouth. Referring to his early career in the Sucker State, the question was asked: How do you adapt yourself to the people? How did you naturalize yourself, as it were? "Oh, nothing easier; you see I like it. It's Democratic. But it did come awkward at first. You know I am, or ra'her was, bashful to rather a painful degree. Well, now, nine-tenths of my constituents despise luxuries, and have no such thing as a second room in their1 houses. In beating up for votes, I live with my constituents, eat Twith my constituents, drink with them, lodge with them; pray with them laugh, hunt, dance, and work with them; 1 eat their corn dodgers and fried bacon, and sleep two in a bed with them. Among my first acquaintances were the L s,"down under the bluffs. Fine fellows, the L s; by the way, I am sure of five votes there. "Well, you perceive I had iolive there and 1 did live there. But, sir,-1 was frighlened the first night I slept there. I own it; yes sir, I acknowledge the corn. An ice bath in August is something; but I was done to an icicle; h id periodical chills for ten days. Did you ever see a Venus in linsey-woolsey?" "No!" . , . . "Then you shall see Serena L s. They call her the "while plover;" seventeen, plump as a pigeon, and smooth as a persimmon.. How the devil, said I to myself

soliloquizing tie first night I slept there, am I to go to bed before this young lady? I do believe my heart was topsy turned, for the idea of pulling off my boots before the g;rl, was death. And bs o doffing my oilier fixtures. I wo"uld sooner have had my leg taken off with a ' wood-saw. Tha crisis was tremendous. It was nearly midnight, and the family had been hours in bed. Miss Serena alone remained. Bright" as . the sun, the merry minx talked on. It wai portentously obvious lo me at last that she ha"d determin ed to out sit me. By repeated spasmodic efforts, my coat, waiscoat, cravat, boots and socks were brought off ' During the process, my beautiful neighbor talked to me with unaverted eyes, and wiih that peculiar kind of placidity employed by painters to embody their idea of the virgin. I dumped myself dowu in a chair in a cold perspiration. A distressing "thought occurred to me. Does not the damsel stand on a point of local etiquette? It may be the 'fashion "of these psople tQseepeople Jn bed bcfore.ieUrixu2 themselves? May T not "have kepi those beautiful eyes open, from ignorance of what these people deem good breeding? Neither the lady's eyes nor tongue had indeed betrayed fatigue. Those large jel eyes seemed to dilate and grow brighter as the blaze of the wood fire died away; but doubtless this was from kind consideration for the strange wakefulness of her guest. The thing was clear. I determined to retire, and without delay. I arose with firmness, unloosed my suspenders,- and, in a voice not altogether s.eady, said: "Miss Serena, I think-1 will, retire." ' "Certainly, sir," she quaintly observed, "you will Jodge there, sir," inclining her beautifal head towards a bed standing a lew yards from where she was sitting. I proceeded to uncase, entrenching - myself behhid a chair; the while fondly imagining the position offered some security. It is simply plain to a man in his senses that a chair of the fashion of the one I had thrown between mysell aBd "the enemy," at all. No more, in facr, than standing up behind a ladder; nothing in the way of the artillery of bright eyes, as a poet would say, sweeping one down by platoons Then I had a dead open space of ten feet between me and the bed; a sort of bridge of Lodi passage which I was forced to make exposed to a cruel raking fire fore and aft. Although I say if, who should nol say it, an emergency never arose for which I had not a resource. I had one for this. The plan was the work of a moment; I de "Ah! I see; you stormed the battery and "Bah! don't interrupt me. No! I ' determined by a bold ruse de guerre, to throw her attention out of the window, clear the perilous passage, fortify myself under the counterpane before she recovered her surprise. The plan failed. You see I am a small man, physically speaking. - Body, limbs, and head, setting up business on one hundred and seven and a half pounds all told, oMesb, blood, and - bones, cannot individually or collectively, set" up any very ostentatious pretensions. I believe the young lady must have been setting in her mind some philosophical point on. that 'head. Perhaps her sense of tustice wished to assure ltselt of a perfectly fair distribution of the Tespective motives. Perhaps, she-did not feel easy until she knew that a kind Providence had not added to , general poverty individual wrong. Ceriatu it was, she seemed rather pleased with her speculations; for, when I arose from a stooping posture finally, wholly disencumbered ot cloth, l noticed- mischiev ous shadows playing about the corners of her mouth. It was the moment 1 Aaddetermmed to direct her -eyes to some astonishing circumstance, out of the window. But the young lady spoke at the critical moment "31r. Douglass," she observed, "you nave got a mighty small chance of legs there. Men seldom have any notion ot their own powers. I never made 'any pretensions to skill in grouud and lofty tumbling; but it is strictly true, I cleared at one bound tha p en space, planted myselt on the centre the bed, and was burled iu the blanket3 to a twiuKiin?. - "I congratulate you, my - boy," said I,

poising a Cube of the crimson core of the melon o the point of my knife; "a lucky escape tidy! But was the young lady modest?" ! .. . :;,.;--- , "Alodist, sir! there is not in Illinois , a more muJest or more sensible girl. It's habit, all hajit. I think nothing of it now. Why, itsonly last week I was at a fine wed

ding patty, and a large and fine assembly of both sexts lodged in the same room, with only three feet or so of neutral territorry between ijem.", , . "You astonish me, Mr. Douglass." , ,"Fac, sir, upott my honor. You see these people are the soul of hospitality, and never allov a fine social party to turn out at twelve o'clock at night to go long distances home. All that is more cleverly managed here.' An Illinois bed has a power of elongation tir expansion perfectly enigmatical to strangeis. One bed four feet wide will, on occasiof, flank one whole side of the house, and is called a field-bed, and large parties will range themselves on opposite sides of the house- as economically as candles in , a box." ; "'But, my dear fellow, this is "drouthy prose, introduce yourself to that little fellow in the corner, and pass him over; and now fell me about old Cauandaigua.1' - , ; THE DEVOTED WIFE. ' ' ' BY J. G. WHITTIER. -' - - She was a beautiful girl.-.When I first saw her, she was standing by the side of her lover at the marriage altar. She was slightly paleyel ever and anon as the ceremony proceeded a faint tinge of crimson crossed her cheek, like the reflection of a sunset cloud upon the clear waters of a lake. ; Her lover, as he clasped her hand within his own, gazed on her for a moment with mimingled admiration, and the warm eloquent blood shadowed at intervals his manly forcJivad, and "melted into beauty on his lips." ' And they gave themselves to one another in the presence of lleaven,; and every heart blessed them as they went oh their' way re joicing m their love, , " Years passed on, and I saw those lovers They were seated together where the light of summers's sunset stole thronsh the half close'd and crimson curtain, and the exquisite embellishments ofthejichand glorious aparlTime had slightly changed them, in outward appearance. The girlish buoyancy of the one had indeed given place to . the grace of perfict woma'nhood, and her lip was some what paler, and a faint line ot care was per ceptioitE.-1jEiieaJI, Jjor jjushind's brow too, was marked somewliat more deeply Than his age might warrant; anxiety, ambition and pride had grown overtand lefr their trace upon if; a silver hue was. mingled with the dark of his hair, almost ,to bafdiiessV., lie was reclimng on a splendid ottoman, with his face half hidden with his hands, as if fie feared that the thoughts which oppressed him wercvisible upoir hi features. "Edward, you ar-i ill to-nighi," said his wife, in a low, sweet, half-inquiring voice, as-she laid her delicate bauds upon her husband's. Iuditference from those we love is terrible to the sensitive bosom. It is as if the son of heaven refused its wanted cheefulness. and glared upon us with a cold, dim and forbiding glance. It is dreadful - to feel that the only being ofyur love refuses to ask our. sympathy that he broods over the feelings which he scorns or fears to reveal dreadful to which the conclusive features and gloomy browthe undeniable shadows of hidden emotion the involuntary sigh of sorrows, in which we are forbidden to participate, whose character we cannot know. The wife essayed once more. "Edward," said she slowly, mildly and affectionately, the time has been when you were wilting to confide your secret joys and sorrows to one, who has never, I trust, betrayed you confidence. Why, then, my dear Edward, is this cruel reserve? You are troubled, and refuse to tell me the cause." Something of returning tenderness soften ed for an instant the cold severity of the usband's features, but it passed away, and bitter smile was his only reply. Time pissed on, and the twain were seprated from each other. The husband sat oomy and alone in the damp cell of a dun geon, lie had mingleu wiut me men wuom is hear loathed, hu had sought the fierce nd wronged spirits of his land, and had breathed into them the madness of revenge. Ie had drawn hissword against his country; he had fanned rebelliou to aflame, and it had been quenched in hitman blood. He hadfalen, and was doomed to die the deata ot a traitor. . .. The door of the dungeon opened, and a ight form entered and threw herself upon . ..... - . r 1 1 arms. The sottened light ot sunset ten up on the pale brow and wasted cheek of his once beautitul wife. . "Edward my dear Edward," said she. "I have come to save you. I have reached you - m t . after a tnousand dirncullies,and 1 tbant uoa mv Dtirnose is nearly executed.' Misfortunes had softened the proua nean of manhood, and as the husband pressed his Da e wife -to his bosom, a tear tremoiea on his eyelash. "I have not merited this kind ness, he mumured, m tne cnoah.eu tuuca vi agony." " - Edward," said his wile, m an earnest' but faint and tow voice, which indicated ex treme and fearful debility, "we have not a moment to loose. By an exchange ot garments you will be able to pass out unnotic ed. Haste or we may be too late, near notbin? for me. I am but a woman, and they will .not injure me for any efforts in behalf of a husband dearer to me than life itself." .

'By Margaret," said the husband,"you look

sadly ill. You cannot breathe the air of this dreadful! cell.". , "O speak not of me dearest Edward." said the devoted woman, "lean endure anything for your .sake. Haste, Edward, haste, and all will be well," and she aided with tremmgjiands, to disguise the proud form of her husband, in the female garb. "lure well, my love, my preserver," whis pered the husband in the ear of the disguis ed wife, as the officer reminded thesupposed lady that the time "allotted to her visit had expired. "Farewell! we shall meet again," responded his wife and the husband pas sed out unsuspected, and escaped the ene mies of his life.' i - They did meet again- the wife and the husband; but only as the dead may meet in the awful communication of another world. Affection had borne up her exhausted spirit until the last purpose ol her exertions was accomplished in the safety of lief husband; and when the belt tolled on the morrow, and the prisoner's cell was opened,, the guards, found wrapped tn the habiliments of their destined victim, the pale bat beautiful coipse of a devoted wife, " " . Looking ArjEAD. The following from the St. Louis Re veille is one of the best pas quinades of the kind we have ever seen: V I - " " Sr. Loos, jati.MSOa. , EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL ; . & . V-' PAPER, , i ,: '" : : We regret to hear that some difficulty has occurred in reference to the simultaneous publication of our paper at this place, and at Montreal. The Express Balloon has failed several times in succession to reach Mon treal in season, and our editorial articles in yesterdays twelve o'clock paper, did not appear in the Montreal paper until two hour3 after they were circulated here. We learn from Astoria that another hourly paper has been started in that city,' making in all sixty-two. The first number of the new one reached it? seven minutes since. It is conducted with considerable taste and talent, but it is altogether too smalL The citizens of 4hat city seem "to dislike s large sheets. v"The World" is the most respectable, and that is only 32 to 4G feet. ' ' ' ' A gentleman who came from New . Holland yesterday, states that the balloon had several scientific men on board, who prevailed upon the conductor to stop 42 seconds, near the cite of an old city called New Or leans, which was destroyed by an earthquake jib-vet !85 Tbe workmen had made cori siueraoie progress m tire " rfxeavarrurr: Air old fashioned steamboat had been found in a slate of preservation. We learn that it will be brought here in the next balloon for exhibition. V " : A horse was caught yesterday by a company of hunters. We are informed by a venerable old gentleman, that these animals forty or fifty years ago, were used as beasts of burden. - The race is almost -entirely extinct, and there are not probably one hundred remaining upon the continent. . A man fell yesterday from the top of the capitol to the ground, a distance of thirteen hundred feet. He had one of the life preservers with him, and escaped unharmed. The ladies have the meagre majority of one hundred and six in the Congress newly elected. It is now thirty-one years, siuce, by an amendment of the t; Constitution, jbc ladies became eligible to a seat in either house. A chap in the city of Mexico, advocates the removal of the seat of Government from St. Louis to that place. It 1st no go. The Washington Monument upon Laurel Mountain, cost twelye and a half bushels of eagles. A Relic. Agentleman who left Boston an hour ago, has just informed us of a very curious circumstance. In a central part of the city, some antiquarians have discovered a small pile of stones; which it is proved are the remains of the Bunker Hill Monument, about which so mucb was said fifty years since. . . - : A publisher in this citt is about to issue a work containing a list of all the duels fought at the last sessien of Congress4. Our paper of one o'clock, today, will con tain the act which provides tor supplying Congress with whiskey; also, all the incidents connected with the last row. The Starch Company, who purchased the old and deserted tract of land formerly call ed New Hampshire, for a potaloe field, have recently declared a dividend of iJiJir per cent. The news from Cincinnati confirms the report contained in our nine o'clock paper. Sixty one thousand persons and several blocks of brick buildings were eaten up by the bogs. - - ' ' POOR DORR. There is something supremely ridiculous, as well as incomparably impudent, in the course pursued by certain portions of the Locofoco parly with regard lo the culprit Dorr. .Great pains are taken to manufacture his raw material into something like a martyr. If one asks a leading respectable Democrat about this tumult, tie win agree with other reasonable and respectable men thatDorr deserves all. and more than all he gets; but ifyou ask him why sucn a tumult is made by some ot his panizans, iu uie name of Democracy, about Uorr, ne win Bay that it i3 a very pleasant mode of keeping up the annetite of a ce rtain clas3, allowing them a bone to gnaw, which, while it keeps them together, and attracts their attention from the mM-omoTita nf their suoerior. s?ive3 also to keep their teeth sharp for luturo action.

Among the tom-fooleries which Dorr's punishment has brought forth, the following ; tumid affair is presented. It is the handy workot a Democratic meeting in New Hampshire, held on the 14th ult: - " 4 T? Aor.lworl Tint tia ,nflnT f, t - "

talented, the honest, the noble-hearted patriot, Thomas W. Dorr, is at this moment shut from the world in a State Penitentiary, subjected to the service of a felon for life, for no other crime but defending those principles which we hold dearer than life, chills tha blood in our veins; and we forewarn the present brief authorities of that little Federal, British chartered State, that a tremendous storm of public indignation is gathering from the whole length and breadth of the Republic, which will sweep their prison walls to their very foundation,"unless deliverance ia speedily proclaimed to thj martyred statesman, the second La Fayette." " " The leaders of the party must be wonderfully amused at the discriminating wisdom, and the historical correctness, and the sound patriotism, exhibited by their brethren of tha -granite State. -- v ftlAHOMEDAN VIEWS OF AMERICAN" POLITICS. A learned friend, (says the Picayune,) who speaKs ot geiiiiig up a poiygioi upon me pt inciple of Ericsson's propeller, has famished us with a free translation, from our Constantinople files, of an article upon the subject of the late Presidential election, j The fol- , lowers of Allah and the Prophet have taken some interest in American affairs since Eckford, the ship constructor, veiled their country anu uuiu snips io me ouiiau. ;ae progress made in the knowledge of our concerns ii i. t" .i ri. m y .. may be gathered from the following -extract. The barbarians have not quite got the hang -of things yet; but all due allowance considered, they are as well informed as some Chris- : tian folk who descant upon Uncle Sam's bueinPKS Willi rrreat freedom and self-stisfac tion. ,Of the three candidates," says the Constantinople " editor, "now seeking fo be Ca liph of America, two ro men of rematkable . endowments and the other is naturally popular in the Southern States. In ihe North, where there are fewer people of color, the struggle will be a close one between Mr. Klat and Mr. Pulk but in the South Mr. - Uirnee, he being a otacK man, wia ot course carry every thing before him." Should either of the former be chosen, tt is understood that the friends of the other will hang themselves in order to escape proscription a species of the guillotine very much dreaded by. politician?, and said, to be" an improvement upon -tlm liun u.i..M. In .mm J'r nnnlrl tri umph there appears to be no doubt that tua whole white population will be put to tha sword. Our course the success of either ol -the first-uatned gentlemen will insure the . decapitation of the negroes, and produce . foreign war, as Great Britain 'has sworn to protect a race of people from which she -gathers so much wool to pull over other peo- , . pie's eyes.1' ,; - THE DEATH OF THE DANCER: vi We have mentioned " the terrible "death in London, of Miss Webster, danseuse. It seem she was performing at Drury Lane, in the" ballet of "The revolt of thejlarem," and in the scene where the female slaves are supposed to be in a bath, the gauze dress of Miss Clara Webster by far the most accomplished English Dancer of the day caught fire. The poor girl ran round the stage in ablaze, and nearly set fire to some of the other female performers. The scene may be imagined. A gay, young, favorite ac tress, enveloped in flames, running, shriek-, ing in bet agony around the stage, in front of a crowed and excited' audianceif-The catastrophe was so suddeti .that 'the people around were, for a moment, paralyzed, A ..L. 1.

" Medical 1 assistai.ca was immediately procured, and it was at ca time hoped that the poor girl would recovers but, after lingering from the Saturday eveninr until the succeeding Tuesday morning, she expired. Miss Webster was only 21 yeara of age. .In the course ot tho inquest ou toe body, it was demonstrated by experiment, V hat gauze or any other kind ot light dresses, ..1.1 l.A ..nilApail ninin.Kta f n Vin f & m - by a lum or salt being mixed with the water ." at the time of their being washed, or rather by their being steeped in such solutions af- . ter washing.
