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. Pelissier was offered the command in the Crimea he aceen r ed it only under the con dition that the Z phyrs would accompany him there, and that if they would behave well, they were to be pardoned and permit ted to return to their regiments. Ttu-y were sent there and their succes was com plete. In the battle near Tractis, the Russians had formed a square which the Sardinian cavalry had vainly attacked, when Gen. 80-quet, who then commanded them ad vanced the Zephyrs. Some English officers requested him not to sacrifice his men usele sly, but Gen Bos quet made them a speech which commenced, ‘ You sons of hell.” and closed with forward to the attack.” With the war cry “ Vive la Mort ” instead of “ Vive U Empercur they swept into and over the Russian bayonets like a whirlwind, and soon their yataghans have mule such terrible havoc in the Rus sian lines that the most desperate exertions of.the Russian officers were unable to avert defeat. IIoW to act in event of burglary: 1. Lie very still, and draw the bedclothes over your head. 2. Sit up and listen. 3. Pinch your wife, and tell her site ought to be ashamed of herself. 4. Tell her to g > down stairs and see what’s the matter. 5. Gall out for the servants to order the robbers off the premises. 6 If the burglars still per sist in their nefarious occupation, go on the land ng and ask them if they know what they’re about. 7. If they don’t desist now, make your wife tell them that in your opinion they are wicked men, and that you have a great mind to be very angry. 8. Say you are verv dangerous when you are once aroused. 9. Beg them to leave quiet ly, and so obviate the necessity of a distur bance in the house. 10. Ask them if they would lik a some cold meat and pickles, and a glass of beer and a pipe. 11. Let them have what they like, do what th xy like, and give them a sovereign each besides. When they’ve g"oe, bring out your pistols, and send for a policeman. 12. Go to bed again, and say that the only reason why you didn’t go down stairs at first, punch all their heads, shoot them, and take them prison ers, was that you dido’t want to disturb the neighbors. 4 *Say ! Do you believe in the Knotches tfr Bookings? Do yuu love fig’s peet ? Do you love tamb’s lungs ? Do you live near the shottecary’s pop? Do you ever ride in a waggage baggon ?” 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 imagination, the great awakening power, nor the morals, creative of genius and of mi n, are addressed. But though orator and poet be of this hur p rtv, tne capaci is remain. We must h.ivo symbols. The child a.-ks you fur a story, and is thankful fur the poorest.

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 School ni tster. 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 a similar bearing have been noted in Great Britain, FASHION NOTES. THE HA R. The Coiffure i* n w becoming rnther 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 ant hair are compelled at last t<> put on the false in default of the real, while others, fearing a like fate, are endeavoring to “flee the wrath to cirt" by discarding all false capillary appendages. Tunae who really have hair after passing through such a hair-destroying ordeal are proud to show it now, and are beginning to arrange it in very simple, graceful -tyle. L'ght puffs on the top ot tho head are now worn. Braids, also, are arranged en diode me. and with the chatelaine braids at the back, mtide to ap pear thick by crimping This style of coiffure is preity. Petulant braids are still worn by children, and aie veiy becoming * for young misses. DRESS a »ODS. Cashmere which has come out in fresh seasonable shades w ill In* considerably worn till November, as w ill also sultaine, a wool en and linen go ds not yet much known. id itin tic chine, formerly half cotton, coined 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 riety that any attempt at description in this 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 ming, especially for evr-niig costumes, and are much u.-ed for flouuce—headings or walking suits. But flat trimmings, such as bias bands of siik and velvet, fringe, lace, passementerie and jet, will doubtless pre vail en haute inode during the season, boots. On reaching this point in description the critic is more than ever bewildered. Boots were at one time almost unknown to the fair portion of too fashionoble world, and the more delicate and insignificant the cov ering the more aristocratic and refined the wearer. At last, however, this substantial article became a most important item in semale attire, and untii within the past few months woman’s ‘ understanding" gave quite hopeful evidence of growing good sense in this direction. But recent devel opments would lead one unhappily to sus pect that the girls of the period were grow ing even more foolish and reckless c deem ing their feet than were the belies of other days, and good mother Columbia may well look anxiously to the future of h-r fair daughters if the prevailing style of toOt dress shall continue. children's costumes. The apparent effort to dress little girls a* much like their mamas as possible well precludes the necessity Os a special depart ment for children. Infants from two to ten years old, to be seen at the watering places this summer, bore a much closer re., semblance to miniature women than to natural, simple children ; even their man ners partaking of the “ladyish air" betok ened in their finery. Little boys have, to a considerable extent escaped this tawdry decking, and the sim ple jacket and rants, though of rich mate* rial and handsomely trimmed, are always becoming. J JEWELRY. Little of novelty is offered at present. Jet seems much in vogue, and during the past few months a very light artistic article of this kind, call “withby jet," has grown exceed.ngiy popular for morning wear. KID' GLOVES are to be worn so high on the arm as to re* quire seven or eight buttons to fasten them. Still, short-wristed gloves will be adhered to by many, especially when the arm is ornamented with bracelets. NO. 40
