BJ PITTSSCRqil, PJL S Clings in totralv The Washington Hotel Hystery. We coo versed ooTaeadaj, aja the New York Journal of Commerce, with a very iateUient gentleman of this citj, one of the officers of the American Telegraph Company, who is among the sufferers by . the mysterious disease which broke out in Washington City, just prior to the, last Presidential nomination. From a condition of great bodily vigor, and a comfortable degree of corpulency, he has gradually wasted until reduced to a feeble invalid. Darin? the many weary days of confinement allotted to him, he has carefully watched the progress of the mala' dy, till the list of deceased victims has reached twenty-seven, including many eminent names ; and he calculates that out of a total of three hundred sufferers, at least one-half are in a state of decrepitude no better than his own. In spite of ail the theories which have been advanced by medical men and sanitary committees, he adheres to the belief that the fatal "epidemic;" as it was called, was occasioned by nothing eLse than a malignant mineral poison, atid the same opinion is held by other sufferers with whom he has conversed. Up to a recent period he was treated by physi cians of this neighborhood as for. a malarious or atmospheric poison,. with no perceptible benefit ; but upon the physician and treatment being changed, substituting an : antidote to arsenic, favorable symptoms became at once apparent, and he is now able to leave his apartment. The conclusion of the examining committee, which at; tributed the disease to noxious effluvia, may have been caused to some extent by the desire at the time existing to secure a large appropriation from the city government for ah extensive system of sewerage, and which has since beenobtained.- . . A Marrying Man. The police of this city have been for some time on the look out for an individual, who has succeeded in robbing several females of their means and peace of mind, by the most shameful deceptions. Yesterday, officers Callanan and parson arrested the scamp in Dock street- HeT is charged with having married a number of females, and after having secured their property, leaving them. Mrs. Prudence R. Wilson, t)f Manayunk, charges the accused with having mar. ried her under pretence of being engaged in business, and after securing all her property, left her. He is charged with bavin?, under the name of Boynton , married a ladr f Trenton, whom he left after obtaining possession of $800 be longing to her. He is also charged with having married a lady in the lower part of the city, gi. ing the name of Smith. From her he stole $261 and a gold watch, and then decamped. At West Chester it is alleged that be married a lady whom he soon afterwards left. He paid attention to a lady named Carrigan in the Eighteenth Ward in this cily, and made a pretence of wanting to marry her. . But by some means she escaped his toils. It is believed that the accused has wives all over the conntry,and those who have been doped by him should come forward and testify. The accused is from New England, and about forty-five years of age. He is a large man, weighing about 250 pounds, has black hair and whiskers, and a florid complexion. The forefin ger of his left hand has been cut close off.-i'tnusylcanian. V Best and Quickest Route to Kansas. : The Spring emigration to Kansas is just beginning to set in, aud all information in reference to the best and must expeditious route to the Territory will be acceptable to the public. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, writing from Leavenworth, sajs the Pacific Bailroad Company rune; two trains of cars each day from St. Louis Jefferson City. On the arrival of the train which leaves St. Louis at 3 P. M. a steamer im- mediately starts up the river. The distance from St. Louis to Jefferson City, by rail, is 125 miles, j and is run over ia five and a half hours. Within j twenty or . thirty minutes the passengers, baggage and mails are transferred to the packet, and she is on her way up the river, steaming ahead at about the rate of 160 miles per day. The Railroad line of steamers runs : from Jefferson City to St. Joseph, which is 399 miles by the riv er. There are six in the line, one departing each day. It is 175 miles by river from St. Louis to Jefferson City, which distance requires about thirty hours for a steamboat to overcome. By land it ib only 125 miles, or 50 miles shorter, and it is run ia five and a half hoars by the trains, so that more than one whole day ia time is saved ia the very start of the trip. : The Cart for Egypt.

A ?onn TtToman Shot by her Lorer. ' On Saturday last, a young :woman, named Harriet Seidler, was shot at Theresa, Dodge Co Wisconsin, by her lover, a young man named Robert Schmidt. The young woman was about twenty years of fle The parties were engaged to be married, and Schmidt had come over from St. Paul, Van Bureo county, Michigan, to fulfil the engagement, but the parents of the yonng lady objected, in consequence of which it was arranged between the lovers that Schmidt should first shoot her and then himself. lie executed his design, so far as the young lady was concerned, but tailed to shoot himself oa account of the loss of the cap of his gun. j After failing ia this, be ran and jumped into the river, with the intention to drown himself, but was rescued. He is now arrested, and awaits a trial. The charge, which was fine shot, enter, ed the left breast of the young lady, and inflicted a horrible, wound, of which she expired Sunday morning. She had her senses up to the last, and charged her parents with being responsible for the awful deed, and acquitted the lover of all blame. The parties, as their names indicate, were Germans. ; Change of the Army Uniform. . The Secretary of Var has issued his order for a change in the uniform of the army. The Star thus describes the change; The cap now worn is supnnted by a felt hat with brim 3 inches wide and crown 6- inches high, bound with ribbed silk for officers and dou-ble'Stitched around the rim for men,; The trimmings for general officers are as follows I Gold cord, with acorn shaped ends; the brim of the hat looped np on the right side, and fastened with an eagle attached to the side of the Lat; three black ostrich feathers on the left side; a gold em broidered wreath in front, on black velvet ground encircling the letters U. S.in silver, old English Characters. For other classifications of officers and for the privates there are similar trimmings, varyiDgslightly for each distincti ve grade or class. The change also extends to the pantaloons and coat, but in respect to them it is confined to the trimmings of the latter and the stripe of the former. Sibley's tent is also to be substituted for that now in use. ' Oceanic Problem. In a recent paper read before the American Geographical Society, Lieot. Berryman reiterates his statement that in deep sea soundings the thermometer repeatedly indicates cold considerably below the freezing point. Ho says : Five hun Arad miles north of Bermuda we found th est reliable depth ever obtained, it being over four miles, and accompanying this were ther mometrical observations of a singular character, indicating phenomena never before discovered or conceived, and which at this, moment are an unsolved problem to the scientific -world. In a long series of experiments the temperature was indicated as existing at 10, 15 and 20 degrees below the freezing point. This may be owing to the defective instruments; but if so, a consistency of error was preserved almost beyond the possibility of chance. An interesting problem for scientific men. J ' ; Contents of Dead Letters. The number of dead letters containing articles of value other than money, registered and sent out for delivery to the owners during the six months ended December 31, 185, was 4,3G1 the coutents of which were as follows: Bills of exchange, drafts and letters of credit, bonds, botes, checks, order, and treasury warrants, certificates of deposit, accounts and land titles, 72 articles of agreement and policies' of insurance, 42 cer tificates of stocks 142 pension papers and land warrants, 512 miscellaneous articles, and 120 daguerreotypes. Nearly all of the above letters with their contents, were delivered to their pro. per owners. "A very large proportion of the valuable dead letters reach the dead letter office at Washington through the fault oLibe writers either on account of misdirection, illegible wri ting, or neglect to pre-pay postage. r: ; v : Affiray in a Railroad Car. . ; A person, having the appearance of a gentle, man, entered a car on the detroit and Toledo Railroad on Friday, between Monroe and Toledo and when called on for his ticket presented one belonging to the Southern Railroad, which was, of course, refused by the conductor, who deman ded the usual fare, 80c. To this the passenger demurred, when the conductor threatened in the event of his refusal to put him off.'. Still persisting, the conductor ordered the baggage man to eject bim from the car, when the passenger drew a revolver, vtich, in the scuffle, went off, the ball passing through the seat and bottom of the car. He was immediately landed, and left to pursue the remainder of his journey on shank's mare. Black Churches at the South.

He is no longer listless; his soul is expanding, he is giving at the same time that he is receiving, power; his benevolence la excited gloomy misanthropic thoughts fade, and make room for schemes for man's happiness, regeneration, universal good the millennium on earth. ' To Become Unhappy. In the first place, if you want to be miserable, be selfish. Think all the time of yourself, and of your own things. Don't care about anybody else. Have no feeling for any one but yourself. Never think of the satisfaction of seeing others happy; but the rather, if you see a smiling face, be jealous lest another should enjoy what you have not Envy "-any one who is better off in any respect than yourself think unkindly to wards them, and speak slightingly of them. Be constantly afraid lest some one should encroach upon your rights; be watchful against it, and if any one . comes near your things .snap at him like a mad dog. Contend earnestly for everything that is your own though it may not be worth a pin; for your rights are just as much concerned as if it were a pound of gold. Never yield a point. Be very sensitive, and take every thing that is said to yon in playfulness in the most8erious manner. : Be very jealous of your friends, lest they should not think enough of you. And if at any time they should seem to neglect you, put the worst construction" upon their conduct you can. : f " : "" ' J- . The Way to Eminence. '.

The Bucyrus (O.) Journal spins the following yarn, which, however faulty in Its facts, Is read able as a romance. The editor was prompted to "perpetrate" it, by observing in a Pittsburgh paper the marriage announcement of a couple who formerly resided in Bucyrus. Therarn is reeled off in this fashion: Twelve years ago the bride was a young lady of twenty, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Washington, Pa. Id her father's employ was a young man named Robert , who the young lady being bewitchingly beautiful, as in duty bound, fell desperately in love with her- She reciprocated the attachment, and they were betrothed. Unfortunately, the young lady's father entered his protest against this pleasant ar rangement, accordingly the young people put off the happy day indefinitely. About a year after ward she received a most tempting proposal, the eternal despair of poor Robert, was married. But alas for the bridegroom! 'Scarcely three months had elapsed when a kick from a vicious horse killed bim. Robert consoled the widow, and determinated at the end of a year or so to marry her. He had too much respect for her to press his suit immediately, and did not for fifteen months, when he proposed. To his horror, she informed him that she was already engaged, and that in three months more her second marriage would be consummated. Two years passed. - . In the meantime, the widow and her husband had .removed to Syracuse, N., Y., and Robert possessed by some strangA hallucination followed them. .That season the cholera swept the city, and among its victims was the second husband. Robert allowed a year to pass, and was on the point of urging his claims when he re ceived an invitation to her wedding! She was to be married to her late husband's partner-Robert remonstrated. .The lady assured him that her present step was not one of love, bat purely of necessity. The partnership affairs of her late lamented were in such a state that settlement was impossible, and to save immense losses she had determined Upon marrying the surviving partner. She assured him, alsor that her sentiments towards him were Unchanged, and that should she ever become a widow again, she wonld give him the preference 8he was married, and ia a short time -removed with her third husband to Detroit, Michigan. But a fa tality seemed to pursuef her. Herself and huf band were en board a steamer that was wrecked near Buffalo some - years since. The husband perished, and she escaped only through the superhuman exertions, of a friend who happened to be on board. , This friend was young, unmarried, and his gallantry inspired such sentiments in the breast of the widow, that she married him be ore Robert had time to claim her. When he learned the state of affairs, he. was soroewbat indignant but she told bim the circumstances, and managed to satisfy him with the promise that if ever she became a widowed again, she would most positively marry him. The lady with her fourth husband settled upon a farm near Buoy rus, while Robert removed to Mansfield that be might be near her'. V In the course of a year tbey removed to Pitts burgh, where the husband went into the mercan tile business ou Liberty street, residing, however, in Allegheny City, Robert soon- followed them, and finding employment determined to watch the chances eloaely. One -day .be was passing the store of Jdx. , when he saw a terrible commotion. Rushing in be jaw Mr. ;, a mangled corpse npon the floor.

Greatly respected as was the privllegeof the fool to speak the truth on all occasions, whoever might wince ande it, the nnrestraiued use of such a privilege often brought the merry speaker in danger of cudgel or dagger. There is a story of a fool at a continental court, in early days, who stirred up all the wrath that could be contained in the heart of the Lord Chamberlain, by so exact an imitation of his voice, and so sarcastic a description of his character, as to excite roars of laughter io every sonl in theban-queting-room, from the sovereign beneath the dias to the scullion at the door, waiting for the dirty plates. The angry Chamberlain encoun tered Sir Fool an hour afterwards, when he com-; mnnicated to the latter his intention, at a fitting opportunity, to see if a few inches of his poniard could not stop the loquacious folly of the other forever. The mery-audrew flew to his princely master, and sought protection fof his life "Be of good heart, merry clockl" said the prince; "if the Chamberlain dares ton Ms dagger into your throat, his throat shall be in a halter the day after. I will hang hi m as high as Ham an. "Ah, father!" cried the jester, "ihc day after has but promise of sorry consolation in it. He may thrust his knife betweenmy ribs to-morrow and couldn't you bang bim the day before?''---JJwo." ry of Court Fools. -' ' ti r.i :-.

There are many who rejoice at the apparent disunion" in the ranks of the Democratic party; They flatter themselves that it is irreconcilably separated, and that: its rule under which "our country has so long prospered is about to be brought to a close. This would be a natural in ference for one to draw were he to look no deeper than the surface. It isj true that there is ad apparent hostility between those who have together professed Democratic principles. Meev ings are held with antagonistic objects bj those who have been life-long political friends. Public speakers on either side indulge in crimination and recrimination. Tbe one portion is called Yellow Republicans, while the other is ta'untv ed with the name of Slavery-Propogandists and other dishonoring epithets. The papers which hitherto have supported Democratic candidates and advocated Democratic doctrines, differ now and oppose each other as- bitterly as they were wont to oppose the Republicans, v Douglas and bis coadjutors are read out of the party, while Buchanan is vilified and his supporters are slan-. dered. AH this many think indicates a separation of our unconquered party, and a hopeless division into factions. But who are these agtta- tors? Who are they that expel those who once led us on to victory? Who is it that vilifies the patriot statesman James j Buchanan? Is it the people? No. It is worn-out politicians, gray --headed office seekers or! unprincipled dema gogues 1 woald to heaven that onr party was rid of them It "does not need them, for they have always clogged its progress. Let them go OTer to our enemies and we will be better off. The great majority of the Anti.Leoomptonites, I think, fully confide in the purity of intention of our worthy President j They think, however, that he has erred in judgment. But will this difference materially injure the Democratic pan ty? I think not. It is not a ditTerenoe as to a great principle, but merely as to the applicatioivr of one already established. The voters of tha United States triumphantly sustained the doctrine that the majority in the territories' should establish their own domestic institutions! Delegates in Kansas there assembles in convention, and framed a consltutldn,5 but failed to allow ihe; people to tote upon It- It is now desired to admit Kansas under thiS Constitution. The Presi- ?r il tlir?sas Message expKcitly declares mat ne preiertia mat it sTiouia hive Deea submitted to a vote of the people. Neverthelessj fof the peace of the country ahd'the prosperity of Kansas, he recoth mends its admission under the Lecomptoti tonstitution. Many Democrats and with them the writer, think that these objects would not be attained "by 'such admission. We prefer that the Constitution- be referred back to the people in order that their sentiments may be obtained; Now both agree as to the principle, viz: that the people should vote upon the constitution. Tbe President thinks that it should first be passed and then let the people vote upon it Douglas and his : friends, however, prefer that the people should vote upon it before it is passed. i ' We see tieh thai. the difference is merely as to the time IPhen The corstitution shall be voted uponj Will this divide tie Democratic party? No; It is merely a temporary issue and will soon be setifcd. Douglas and his irieada are Democrats. They believe all the articles of the Demoeratio faith, Tbey ad vocate all the great principles of Democracy why then read tbtm out of the party? Not because be opposes a measure of the Administration. Then Pugb, Toombs; and other eminent men, should be driven from us because tbey opposed the Army bill, an Administration measure. Until the Administration becomes the party, and freedom of opin ion a beresyj Douglas and his friebda are Dem. , "ocrata. When the day comes that the dictation of one rnan shall govern s host of freeman, and the opinion of an Administration- must receive the unqualified approval of Americans, theiv-farewell to Republicanism and Liberty.
