An Atinim DkJ.'?On? the most lingular
wagers we* ?ver hdgrd of, ?m made in
Chicago oq the day b$bre the municipal
election in thkt city. The bet was between
a Water-street merchant and Ned Osborne,
of the T&moot House, the largest segar and
tobacoo dealer in the oity, and waa to *he effeot
that if Wentworth was not elected, Osborne
should have the privilege of kicking
the Water street merchant aforesaid from the
Tremont House to Springer street. The
day after the election, tne merchant having
lost. came to Osborne s store, ami presented
hia person to hiro for the contemplated kicks
and demanded that Osborne should take the
stakes. Osborne had been training his
right leg.all the previous dnv, and had armed
bis feot'^ilh a heavy cowhide boot,
with soles'as thick as two clapboards. The
merchant started up by the Tremont, Osborne
delivering a heavy kick as bo started
but drew back his foot witb a spasmodic
action and paroxysm of countenance apso
lutely pitiful. Lie tried another one, but the
loser flinched not, and kept on his way undisturbed
by the volley lie bad received.?
The result of this was worse than the first,
-and he fairly curled up on the ground and
howled with pain. The merchant stopped,
and camly inquired, 44 why don't you take
the stakes f" U'hat have you got in the
basement of your pants ?" cried Nod' 44 Milwaukie
bricks," shouted the merchant," and
we arn't within a mile of Springer-street
yet." Osborne subsided, paid the champagne,
and has been wearing a sliht slipper
ever since.?Buffalo Republican.

were soon in ruins. The loss is estimated
at from six to eight thousand dollars.

It provides that the United States Sub-Treasurer,

Dean Stone, while residing on a living
in the country, once had occasion to unite a
rustic couple io the bonds of matrimony.?
The ceremony being over, the husband began
to sink in resolution, and falling' (as
some husbands might do) into a fit of repentance,
he said :
" Your reverence has tied the knot tightlv,
I fancy ; but under favor, may I ask your
reverence if so be you could unite it again?"
" Why, no," replied the Dean, u we never
do tliai on this part of the created ground."
" Where, then cried the man.
"On that," he replied, pointing to the

The National Democratic Convention. ,
J he Ion^r anticipated and much talked of time,
so pieplant with interest to the eountrj* at large,
ami politician* and wire-pulling office-seekers in
particular, has arrived at lust, ami the National
Democratic Convention is now in session in the
city of Charleston. On Monday last, nt 12 o'clock,
it assembled in the Hall of the South Carolina
Institute. The delegates "of the tbirtj* three
States wore present in good force, and most of
the dtlegations were full, as we learn from the
C'otirtVr, from whose elaborate report of the first
day's proceeding*, we glean such information as
we think will he of interest to our readers.
Francis If. Floukkot, of Arkansas, was chosen
President, pro. tnu., of the ' onvention. On being
conducted to the Chair, and after addressing
the body in a few remarks, in which he.said lie
should f'ldeator to so demean himself as to bring
about a speedy organization, the Convention proceeded
to that first duty. llev. Citas. IIaxckkl.
D. I>? of Charleston, delivered an impressive
prayer, the delegates rising.and standing. Wii.
F. 11 itchik, of Virginia, was cliosan temporary
Secretary.
Quite a confusion and general disorder seems
to have sprung up, at the outset, in regard to some
points of order, and judging from the.reiiort, we
should say that there was largely wanting that
harmony and decorum which should have characterized
this deliberative body of intelligent representatives.
The decisions of the Chair, ruling
out of order, were repeatedly nppcale-< from, by
tho parties so ruled, and not withstanding the
Chair was every time sustained, some of the parties
wanted to lie heard any how. For this, let
the parties.themselves hear the blame. There
are contested seats from New York and Illinois.
From New York tho "llurds " nod the " Softs,"
or the Fkfnando Wood and Dcan Hiciimono representations,
each claim seats in the Convention.
It was in regard to these delegations I lint the confusion
above alluded to arose. Each cluinied a
right to be heard in the organization of the Con
venlion, while objections were uiged that neither
party had a right to participate until it was decided
by the Cob venlion which party had the
right to do so.
The rules of the last National Convention were
adopted for the goveraiiisnt ot the pn s-nt Convention.
A resolution providing for the Appointment of
two Committee*, r?cli to consist of one member
from each State, to be selected by the respective
delegations?one committee on Permanent Organization,
and the other on Credentials?was
adopted. The resolution provides that in determining
the controversy in regard to the disputed
seats of the 111* no in Delegation, the members of
the Committee on Credentials of that State shall
not he permitted to vote thereof., and in determining
the controversy from the State of New

our interests in that body.

against this practice. As an humble Christian
man, I endorse every word, And would l>?-g the author
to favor the render* of your valuable paper
with a few more pieccaof the same character; hi*
or her capability to do so is fully demons! rated in

We would respectfully present to the atten- >

developing the manufacturing interests of the
Southern Stales, nnd of establiahing direct trade
and intercourse with foreign States, and thereby
building up Southern porte. for the oistribution

a* the most efficient means for securing those
ends, the imposition of a tax on all goods manufactured
in any of the States <tf this confederacy,
hostile to our institutions, and sold within the
limits of this State.
We nlso reconunend to the Legislature the enactment
of a law making it a capital offence to

To thin number we have to add the partiul dent

The fire began in the Chapel, extended rapidly

including their content*. One of the dwelling*

The loa* cannot he less than tfl.OOO to $7,000,
with paitial insurance upon the piano* and furniture?perhaps

From the circumstance* we are forced to conclude
that the fire was the work of an iticendia

Word of Warning. .
Tbero is nothing more despicable than stealing
the reputation of a reliable article to impose upon a
community an inferior and worthless one, and*yet
it is done. Fifteen years ago Ileimstrret A Co. introduced
a llair Rostorative, under tho name of
" Inimitable Hair Coloring." Its wonderful restor
ntU'c properties mailt it immensely popular, anil
grey and bald hoads were like to beeoroo a thing of
the past, when the country waa flooded with imitations,
the use ol which waa mat only useless but absolutely
injurious. The original preparation is a
scientific combination, made with oil and stimulating
spirit*, affording an agreeable hair wash, while
all the imitations are made with water, making the
hair harsh, dry and frirsy, requiring, after it dries,
tlio use of oil or wash to make it look decently.
Wo would therefore advise our reaih.rs to buy nothing
but the original Inimitable Hair Coloring or
Restorative, which is reliable.? Tit.g Whig.
