The story which follows is aa interesting one. made more ao by its occurring under his personal observation, and it ia in his own words: "Those dogs at the ExpositSoa," said he, "are ftne animals, but they are not true St. Bernards.

Hia tongue aad hot breath revived the Englishman, whoregained coancmueneM only to suppose that he waa attacked by a wolf.

"The ahot wan heard by the monks, who hastened to the spot and found the Eagtishmaa struggling out of the drifts. The dog was tying at the edge of the pit, wbick he had dug with perhaps hours of toil. He was not quite dead, aad he lived long enough to lick the hand of the father who had watched over him all his life, and who cried like a child at hk death, H waa the creed of these holy men to return good for evU, and they would have cared for the man even if he and not slain kis preserver through a cruel mistake.

VirgaUorthCnrStatea an doubtful for Democratio kipea, Jun9JJnaav an5 annBa BsnaVana1 naj unBn slnajnnaenn pyraaaid But now all thk aort of apeeulation k enddenly chaaged. Theee four Southern Stntoa are no wngjer conakiered doubtful, but are with aiagular unaaimity acoorded to the lenaoorata. The plan of liberalizing the Sooth with coatttioas and ladeaeadeat k suddenly found iainactieable aad their attention is turned to other fields. It U now dkcovered that the Sooth k aottd, and that the Northern heart must he fired up to withstand the dreadful assault which this solidified section k likely to make against the Electoral votes aeceamry to elect. All at once the old war-cry which we have heard ao often, and which has dons duty on several memorabk occasion, fat heard again, aad the faithful are warned to give heed. The aew direction of political efforts k not now toward the eunny South, where liberaliam was thought to be rampant aad coalitions loudly clamored for, but toward the North where now the only nope lies. Suddenly the South k given np as hopeless, and no Republican editor ventures to expect a single vote from that section. The Democrats by carry fag Virginia and Maryland have, it seems, rendered all future calculations unnecesnary ia that dnectfoa, and with patriotic heart nad courageous purpose, the war k now to be carried into the North, nad aa a hint of what k conxing. the announcement is made that the sections must bow again antagonise each other, a "solid North" against a "solid South." Of course thia means the old campaign style, the method once before nuvked by a celebrated Bepublieaa orator, to-wit: "a Moody shirt campaign with plenty of money." The trouble is, neither of theee preretuisitea are available now. The conntry can not be '-onvolsed again with a gorv cry, anu the ajnewa of war are n doubtful quantity since campaign assessments are forbidden. Of all campaign cries thk k the weakest aad most worthless. The South k now "solid because its interests demand abetter government than the Republican party could give them, nad because the people there hare no faith in coalitions. The tenden y k toward home-rule nad honest government, and as thin a not possible except where intelligence aad aoneat principles prevail, the people have determined to try the merits of a change. The weak aad silly attempt to make aa issue for the people of the North by cryinsr out that the Uvea of the negroes ia the South are hi danser. and in naming the passions of the Northern voter by sympathetic appeak for rapport upon the ground of protection to the nero. are out the in rent ions of a thoroughly demoraliaed and frightened crew. The negro is in no danger and thousands of them are no doubt in hiiee ful ignorance that any danger k impending. The fact k 'the negro is necessary to the South, nad all the white peopk there know aad recognise it. The danger to the colored man exista only in the excited aad heated hmagiaatious of the nvernge Republican editor, aad it only exists there now beeaase It k thought that thk k the only card that can be played wttk success. If thia piteous appeal in behalf of the colored man does not touch the hearts of Northern voters then all is lost. Therefore it k industrioualy demanded that the North ahall rise aa one man and protect the poor colored man from wholesale assassination. The fact that nobody ia hurt who behaves himself nod keeps out of election rowa, aad the farther fact that as a whole the negroes at the South are not troubling themlves much about Republican appeals but are industriously at work trying to make a living and bettering their condit on. doesn t count in the eyes of Republican edi'ors, bemuse thk k.not to the point. The point at which they are aiming k Northern votei. and they think if they can make it appear that the nfgrues are all ia danger of being killed by infuriated Democrat, that the ohnueea of sncce'sa nre then measurably increased. The. peopk of the North will learn in good time the whole history of that Danville affray.
