the Mississippi told some rather
tougn stories aDoui Jjonaon

named Case.' heard these narra
tives with a silent but expressive
"umph," and then remarked that
he thought the Western thieves
beat the London operatives all
hollow, my.
' "How so ?". inquired the En
glishman with surprise. , Pray,
sir, have , you lived , much in the
Westr, -
V'Not a great deal; I under
took to set up business at , Des
Moines Rapids a while ago, but
the rascally people stolej nearly
everything I. had, and finally a
Welch miner ran : off with my
wifo.- v . . - -
"Gracious 1" said the English-
man, . "ana nave you never
found her?"
"Never to this day; but that
was not thfr- worst of it?" .
"Worst I What could be worse
than stealing a man's wife ?" ; 1
'Stealing children,: I should
say, said the implacable Case.;
"Children! ' ;
"Yes, a -nigger woman, . who
had nine of her own, abducted
my youngest, and sloped: and
joined the Injuns. . .-. .
"Did you see her?
"See , her I Yes, she hadn't
ten rods the start of me, but
plunged into the lake, and swam
off like a duck, and there was
not a canoe to follow her with."
, The' Englishman leaned back
in his chair and called for an
other mug of arf and arf while
Case smoked his cigar.
"I shan't go any farther West,
I think, at length observed the
excited John Bull, y ,
; "I should not advise any one
to go," said Case, quietly ; "my
brother once lived there but had
to leave, although his business
was the best in the country."
U "What, business -was he in ?"
"Lumbering had a saw mill

"Yes, and. saw logs, too." :
"Saw logs?", . '
"Yes, dozens of-black walnut
logs were spirited away tr car
ried off in a single night True ;
upon my honor, sir. He tried
every i way to prevent it had
men hired to watch his logs, but
it was no use. . They would

"Just to give you an idea how

sly : wink to the listening com
pany, "just to give you an idea,
did you ever work on a saw
mill?" -
. "Well, one day my brother
bought : an allfired fine black
walnut log, four feet three at the
butt, and not a knot in it He
was determined to keep that log
anyhow, and hired three Scotch
men to watch it all night Well,
they took a small demijohn of
whisky with them, ; snaked the
log up to the side of the hill
above the mill, built a fire, and
then V sat- down to play ; cards,
just to keep awake you see.

bark about two incnes wick.
Well, as 1 1 was saying, they
played cards and drank whisky
all night, and as it began to
grow light, went astraddle of the
log. About a minute after day
light George went to see .how
they were getting on, and the
log was gone." ; -,
What were the Scotchmen
doing?" i ' -
. "Sitting on the bark. ,. The
thieves had drove an iron wedge
into the biitt end, which pointed
down hill, and hitched a Yoke of
oxen and pulled it right out,
leaving - the Sootchers sitting

The . greatest . danger to the
Administration party, during the
next four years, will be found in
its unprecedented predominance
over all political opposition.
Having nothing in Congress that
can successfully prevent the pas
sage of any arbitaTy measure it
may see fit to inaugurate, it will
soon tire of a warfare that meets
no opposition sufficiently power
ful to practically accomplish any
thing, and thus will be led, like
ther fabled serpent,. 'tb 'fasten -its-fangs
of death f into its ;own vi
tals. ' So long ii Alexander had
nations to conquer he" was brave
and valiant, but when he "had
vanquished his last foe and met
no bannered armies to impede
his progress, he'. soon-lost the
power to govern himself and died
victim to; his own. excesses.
Nothing is more dangerous to
the existence of a political party
than too great an ascendancy of
political power; nothing is more
dangerous to republican institu
tions, as all history proves, than
the preponderance, to a great
degree, of political, power in the
ranks of a party organization.
Parties thus situated fall with
the . weight of self-bred corrup
tion, and only that .character of
public sentiment latent in all
government, above and beyond
the influence and designs of evil
men, can preserve the . unity of
civil institutions in such an
emergency. .We do not affirm
that the success of the Radical
party, in the election Tuesday,
November 5th, will be the means
of the destruction of the Union,
but we do affirm as our belief
that the unparalleled extent of
the victory it has gained will be
the death-knell of its distinctive
Exchange.
Winter Clothing.
In his experiments to deter
mine the heat-conducting power
of linen, cotton, .wool, and silk,
Sir Humphrey. Davy found not
only that these ; materials 'con
ducted heat in the, order, given
above,' linen , being the best, but
also that the tightness or, loose
ness of , weaving ' possessed an
important influence. . It is there
fore evident in the selection of
winter clothing, , and especially
that to be worn -next to the
skin, the materials of , least con
ducting power, as wool and silk,
should be chosen, and the fabrics
should be loosely woven.;
As regards the external gar
ments the same rules apply with
equal force, but in this case care
should be taken to remove, over
coats, and shawls when in a
warm , room, especially should
this precaution: be observed in
the instance of the furs worn by
ladies. The habit of wearing
these articles for hours in suc
cession while shopping and visit
ing, often so weakens the power
of resistance in the wearers that
they become the ready victims
of inflammations of the throat
and lungs. To such an extent
does this occur in New . York
that many of. the most skillful
physicians advise their patients
to discontinue the use of furs,
and the advice is often followed
with, the . moBt satisfactory . re
sults. ' ' '. ' .,' ..'..,.
