POLITICAL PLATFORMS.
T>9 the Editor of the Mobile Register :
As our Democratic State convention is
soon to assemble at Montgomery, some
anxiety is naturally felt as to the platforms
they may adopt. Allow me, through your
widely circulated and influencial journal,
to call the attention of Democratic editors
ad delegates to some truths respecting
platforms— not the less true and serious
from their being now presented in a jocu
lar vein.
Ihe c nstruction of a political party
pla f <rm is a work of much delicacy and
importance loexpeiienoed youngsters may
think it an easy matter, but old stagers,
Ike you and me, know that it now requires
natural tac, sound judgement, and practi
cal experience to make a really good-work
ing platform We iive in an age of progress
(and improvement?). A style of plat
form that answeied well enough twenty or
even ten years ago, would be u and fashioned
and out of place ro/w. We all know the
wo derfuGy inventive genius of our Yankee
brethren, manifested in rhou-ands of in
genius, useful and patented mechanical
inventions and improvements. Ain ng other
tilings, they have of lare years brought the
-of of constructing party platforms to a high
deg ee of perfection, in proof of which, we
need only refer to the famous Chicago plat
iorm. We won and be very wrong to allow
sectional prejudice to bund us to the prac
tical utility <d modern improvements in the
cmstrurtnin ot platforms
There are a great variety of political
piauorms, but I think, in generalizing arid
classifying them, they may be properly
divided into three distinct classes and an*
propriately named, as follows:
l The 0 (l-f.tshioned Piaif rtn 2 The
KxoluCve 8-are Crow P affirm ; and 3.
The Inc u iv-. Baited Platform. I propose
to consider briefly each of Itese classes.
1 ike Old fashioned Platform w s con
structed on the principle ot stating in few
and piatn w ids, which all could under
stand, some important principle or policy
which was acceptable to ail the party, and
generally obnoxious to all their political
opponents ;ai and tiere it stopped. This was
the sryte of platform generally used by the
old Whig and Democratic parties in ante
bellum times. Being an old man, I must
confess i have a strong attachment to ibis
old style of platform, and should much pre
fer that tur next convention sh u and try if
once more. But it is old-fashioned. Our
young men want some - king longer, more
rhetorical, showy and sensational, I
have but little hope of i»s being adopted,
and expect something more modern arid
fashionable to suit tlie prevalent popular
tu-ie. S■ Ut us i>ass to the other classes.
2. The Exclusive Scare Crow Platform ts
iu fact nothing more than the old sash oned,
with a iaii added to it. Like the old-fash
ioned platform, it plainly announces some
important distinctive principle or policy,
hut instead of stopping at that, there is
added to it a long tail, c ntaining some
dozen or so of comparatively immaterial
propositions, generally expressed in strong
and offensive language, each and every one
of which is calculated to exclude and scare
off the thousands of voters who would cor
dially support it This is the style of plat
form w ich the Democratic party has of
late years generally adopted, and it has al
most invariably lead to defeat. It is chief
ly to warn our npxt convention against
adopting this style of platform, that I now
write.
3. The Inclusive Baited Platform is the
latest improved style, and has been gener
ally used by the Republican party, with
much ingenuity and signal success. It is
constructed on entirely different principles
from either of the others. Instead of an
nouncing the real principles or policy of
the party, these are carefully covered up
and concealed In lieu of this, it announces
some «.bstract, general proposition, which
all men of all part.es will ready accept.
It then has a long tail added to it, contain
ing a dozen or so of propositions, often in
consistant, (but that is of no consequence.)
each one of which is a bat to catch and
draw to its support large classes of voters,
who would never support it otherwise than
on account of the bait. If conciliating
favor and support, and securing success be
legitimate objects of a party platform, ex
perience has shown the superiority ot the
inclusive baited over any other style of
platform, in these respects. Considerable
taste and judgment are necessary, however,
in preparing proper baits, according to the
seasons, and the different kinds ct fish to be
caught.
I have already stated, and, to avoid any
misconstruction, now repeat, that person
ally I prefer the old fashioned platform,
and nope our convention will adopt one of
that style, pure and simplo. But if they
must has a more modern and fashionable
one. I diqeseeoh them not to adopt the ex
clusive cri , w ptyle. It can lead onlv
to defeat. As they' are inexperienced in
constructig the inclusive baited platform
I very repectf'ully submit to thsir consid
eration th following specirrfen, not for ac
tual ad tion, but as affording useful
hints, illiStrutive of the principles on
which it i constructed :
'1 he In usive Baited Platform —The con
vention of do adopt and declare the
following platform of princioles:
L f iat we are most decidedly and une-
opposed to death and taxes.
(Om tubus).
2. 7 liar we are in favor of giving to every
man who votes with us a lucrative office,
VAr!, r J‘»£- or h’ur offices apiece.
} . . P et " baggers aou eiar OW „--i- ou , c
bait.)
3. That we are in favor of “Ireland for
the Insb.” (For .he Irish )
4 I hat we are in favor of the Pru-sians
whipping the French. (For the Germans.)
5. I'hat we are in favor of the French
whipping the Prussians. (Fur the French.)
0. liuif v\ e are opposed to the army worm
and the Chinese. (Fur cotton-planters,
Crispins and Californians.)
/. 1 hat we are in favor of everv man’s
having forty mules, a thousand acres of
land, and a barrel of whiskey. For XYth
Amendments.)
8. That we are in favor of preserving the
national faith untarnished, and paving" the
whole national debt, hv a fair, just and
impartial tax on bondholders , without dis
tinction of race, nationality, or previous
condition of purse. (For the capitalists.)
9. 1 hat we are in favor of indefinite
expansion and unlimited annexation, until
the glorious American <*agle shall perch
upon the equator, spread his radiant wings
from pole to pole, and fix his ardent gize
on the N E. qr. of the S. W. qr. of the
moon. (For patriots.)
10 1 hat we are opposed to extravagance,
corruption and tyranny, nnd in favor of a
just, honest and enonomical administration
of the government. (For greenhorns.)
Is not this a style of platform on which
it would be safe to stand ? Is it liable to
any objections which could not be success
fully met on the stump? The most serious
objection to it, which now occurs to me, is
the probability that the Radical convention
at Selina may adopt it, or one of the same
style. Democritus.
The Zephyrs of tub French Army.—
Besides the Zouaves the French army con
tains as a special corps, the Zephyrs. They
resemble the Z >uavos in their uniforms,
arms, and equipment, and their organiza
ti-m ami drill are almost the same ; but
while the Zouaves are a proud corps and
believe in military honor, such is by no
means the eao»e wuh the Zephyrs. They
aresimplv a corps of culprits and jail birds.
If a soldier of the French army commits a
vulgar and dishonoring crime, that is, if
he robs, steals, cheats, or proves to he a
coward, he is condemned to serve on the
galleys ; but if he only commits what might
be termed a genteel crime, that is. if he
onlv commits manslaughter, or ravages a
woman, or is insubordinate, then he is con
demned to serve in the corps of the Zephyrs
They are permanently stationed in Africa,
and the discipline among these rather dan
gerous and desperate characters is terribly
severe. Every officer has the right to kill
a Zephyr on the spot should he show the
least sign of insui hordination, and to this
circumstance they owe their name, which
they have adopted themselves, to express
therebv of how little value their lives are.
which at any time might die out like a Z *
phvr. Their official nppelation is, Corps ot
Punishment, and they number several
thousand men. They paint themselves
with blue ink all over their bodies in the
nios fantastical manner, and even the harl
est punishment could riot put a stop to this
singular amusement, to which they seem to
have taken, because they tire nor permitted
to have cats, and get no pay. When Gen.

Benefits of Novel- Reading. — Many
good a* and well-meaning people, but wolully
warped in their mentai and religious organ
ization, decry novel-reading as a sin almost
as much to be denounced as downright un
god in ess ; but, while we think it can be
carried to excess, and become hurtful, we
think the views of these good people are
narrow indeed. Oue tendency of a healthy
novel is to encourage t.he play of the imag
ination, upon which a great deal ot inde
pendence and originality of character is
based Mr. Emirs n, in his work of “So
ciety and Solitude,” recently published by
Fields, Osgood & Cos., takes up the cadge!
bravely in behalf of novel-reading by say
ing that “men are lapsing into a beggardly
habit, wherein everything that in not ciph
ering that is, which does not serve the
tvranieui animal, is hurled out of sight.
Our orators and writers are of the same
poverty, and, in this rag-fair, neither the

earn that a wholesale denunciation of nov
els arid theatres does the great harm of
placing the bad upon the j vel with the
good. “Blind leaders of tne blind” de

people read one or two good stories, and
witness a life-like drama or two, and know
that their would-be teachers lie to them,
and then gradually break loose from res

alike. Sani Slick says that if you train up
a child to think that every pleasure is
wrong, fie will, when he grow- up, come to
the conclusion that none are wrong. The
true plan is to meet facts an institutions as
they exists, upholding tho good, and de
nouncing the evil, wherever it exists. Then
people will have faitn in their teachers,
whose works will prove much more fruit
ful of good.
Memories. —Once upon a time, reader—a
long, long time ago I knew a schoolmaster;
and that sehoolmaoter had a wife. And
she was young, and fair, and learned ; like
that princess-pupil ot old Ascham ; fair and
learned as Sydney’s sister, Pembroke’s
mother. And her voice was ever soft, gen
tie and low, reader ian excellent thing in
woman. And her fingers were quick at
nee lie-work, and nimbiein all a housewife’s
cunning. And she could draw sweet mus
ic from the ivory board, and sweeter, staug
er music from the dull life of her school
master-husband. And she was slow of
heart to understand mischief, but her feet
ran swiftly to do good. An l she was sim
ple with the simplicity of girlhood, and wise
with the wisdom that eorneth only of the
Lord—cometh only to the children of the
kingdom. And sweet young life was
as a morning hymn, sung by childlike
voices to rich organ music. Time shall
throw his dart at death, ere death ha3 slain
such another.
For she died, reader; a long, long while
ago. And I stood once by her gave ; her
green grave, not far from dear Dunedin.
Died, reader; for all she was so fair, and
young, and learned, and simple, and good.
And I am told it made a great difference to
that schoolmaster. Day Dreams of a

Here is the best bed-bug story now
afl at:
•‘Talk about bed-bog-,” said Bill Jones,
who had been across theplains, “you should
have seen s >me of the critters I met in
Idaho last spring. I stopped one night with
S"ine settlers, who lived in a log cabin con
taining one room and a loft. When it came
time to go to bed. thev strung a blanket
across the middle of the room, and the set
tler’s family slept on one side of it and gave
me t’other. I laid down to go to sleep, and
the bed-hug- be.:an to gather like lunch
fienhs around a free “lay out.” 1 rried to
kiver up and away from them, but
the ppsky varmints wou and catch hold of the
bed-clothes and puli them off from me.
They didn’t think nothin’ of dragging me
ar"uud the room if I held on. I tit ’em till
about mi Inighr, and then I looked round
for some way t-> escape. There was a lad
der reachiu’ up into the loft, and i thought
the best way to get away from the blood
suckers was to climb up thar, so I did.
There wasn’t any bugs in the loft, and I
laid congratulatin’ myself on my escape.
Pretty quick I heard the ladder squeakin'
as if somebody was coming up. Bimeby I
saw a bed bug raise himself up through the
hole in the ti it>r lookin' carefully around
the loft. Soon's he saw me he motioned to
his chums below, the h ood thirsty cuss,
and cried exultinTy ; ‘ Come up buys ! he's
here. /' ”
In Europe hard water is considered more
healthful than soft. Tne French savins,
when inquiring after water for the supply
of Paris, found that more conscripts are re
jected in soft water districts, on account of
imperfect development and stunted growth,
than in the soft water; and they conclude that
calcareous matter in water is essential to
the forrffation of tissues. Facts having a

serious subject with the many who have
chosen during the past few years to conform
to the extratagant dictates of fashion.—
Some who commenced with long, luxuri

fearing a like fate, are endeavoring to “flee
the wrath to cirt" by discarding all false

now all wool, and promises to be quite a
favorite material.
Many will be glad to learn that plaids are
to be worn a^ain —black and white the pre
vailing colors—and serge for winter wear
in what is called “broken plaids," will be
quite fashionable. Alpacea, mohairs, em
press cloth and poplins still hold’heir own,
with the prospect of being as much worn
as ever. Narrow striped silk will be much
in vogue for early tali, aud moire antique is
again reviving.
cot.LARS AVD CUFFS.
Linen for ordinary wear is still the favor
ite, and the present style of collar—.straight
in the back and turned down in front—will
protect toe throat much more than those
lately worn by our fashionable bells.
L ices for full dress will of course prevail,
and collars of this material are worn in
every conceivable shape, while a short fall
of lace at the wrist is always pretty and
gives a graceful finish to the dress.
OUTSIDE GARMENTS.
The polonaise is decidedly the style for
the season—to continue, no doubt, far into
the winter. It is made of all kinds of ma
terial, from organdie to velvet, and forming
a very graceful overdress, looped up at the
sides, is appropriate both for the house aud
street.
Later in the season the polonaise will be
worn with a sort of talma, the ends crossed
loosely in trout and coufiued on the shoul
der.
The Metternich mantle in new styles will
be worn, and made up in Cashmere, with
lace, or handsome fringe trimming, is a
dressy wrapping.
Cloaks are to be longer and plaid wrap*
are to continue. Chenille fringe will be iu
great vogue for cloak trimming.
BONNETS AND HATS.
The contest f »r preference between these
two styles ot head-covering appears for the
time to be decided to the advatage of the
bonnet, thought it will require considerable
self denial on the part of many to relin
quish the convenient hat, even in full dress,
when its rival teems unquestionably to take
the precedence.
Bonnets are making their appearance
witn full capes: rather timidly as yet,
seemingly not quite sure of a welcome, but
the promise of last spring is likely to be re
alized this winter, and gipsy bonnets, with
their tasty little capes, to be voted quite
the rage.
The new rfhade of maroon will be very
fashionable for this article of dress, and
wide strings, “rich and plain," are ruled m
for the winter bonnets.
TRIMMINOS
have become so inexhaustible iu their va

line seems almost superfluous. Notwitb—
standing the fact that fl mnoes and ruffles,
have been so universally worn, they have
evidently a long future yet.
Feathered silk ruchings lined with satin
of different color, make a very pretty trim

are much u.-ed for flouuce—headings or
walking suits. But flat trimmings, such as

On reaching this point in description the
critic is more than ever bewildered. Boots
