FIFTEEN THOUSAND DEArns.-Ihe
ship Grey Eagle. arrived at Philadelphia
from Rio Janeiro, brings fearful accounts
Of sickness at the latter place. 1t had
swept off more than fifteen thousand hui
man beings. Among the Americans is
Major Morgan, the Secretary Of the

following description Of d "Seit-NVaiting
Dinner Table, the invention of a Mr..

The table is circular in form, and so
arranged that the portion on which the
various dishes are set revolves slowly
around, so that you can help yourself to

the aid Of servant or any one else.

@~ The old "saw' about Jack at
all trades being good at none, wants
re-setting prodigiousIy. Undoubtedly,
there are plenty of people that are good
for nothing, let them attempt what they
will; but, so far as our experience goes,
you will seldom find a man that is de-
cidedly excellent in any one art, branch
or calling, who has not the ability to
succeed in others, if he turns his atten-
ton to them. Instances of versatility
are not more common perhaps, than ex-
amples Of dullness, but they are GER
tainly seen quite as frequently as cases
of mere "one-string" talent. Taste and
inclination may lead this way or that
but intellectual strength can be used
where it really exists, for as many pur-
poses as strength of bone and muscle.
A person that does one thing readily and
handsomely, and with a force that shows
original power, will not be found impo-
tent when he has need to give it new
direction

SUGAR CANDY FoR PoLTIIcIASs.-Some OF the
newspapers are rolling up sticks Of sugar candy, Of
every possible flavor and consistency, in the shape
Of offers to Mr.. Fillmore Of reelection in 1852.
The Philadelphia papers particularly active in
this candied species Of bribery. No doubt the
candy is twisted with something Of a more impor-
tant character; but we doubt If Mr. Fillmore has
the " sweet tooth for these preparations. The
candy -makers mistake their man. Mr.. Fillmore
j. intelligent, strong minded and practical states
man, and has no more idea Of being President Of
the United States, for the next term, than he has
of being the Emperor Of Morocco.
II has been the folly, as the history Of the past
distinctly shows, for such politisians Captain
Tyler and Martin Van Buren, to look beyond the
boundaries of presidential term into the uncer-
tain future, living upon lofty hopes Of popularity all
the while but the sequel has plainly exhibited
that they have erected their ambition on fary-land
hllsoies. No man who comes into the Pr siden-
tal chair, as Tyler and Fillmore have, cAu hope
for reelection, by struggling TO make Themselves
candidates for second Presidential term. There
are too many candidates for the Presidency--there
In too much competition to permit one man to oc-
cupy the office OF chief magistrate for two terms
In succession. TIE people are naturally jealous
Of such perpctuaiisn Of power; and, eves were
this not the case, ih,re are too many upon whom
the people are disposed to put the great civic laurel
Our voters are sne.tern men--and Presidents can
not he made on any oth'r terms.

BEarTrFrL WoRKNo or AMERICAN DINO
cRIcY.-The lsmentabe event which recently oc-
Cured in Washington, and the changes incident
thereto, show, in the meet perfect manner, the
beautiful and HARMONIOUS working Of American
democracy. There is no qsarrelng, or fighting, or
revolution in regard to the succession. Mr.. Fill
more, a simple farmers son, by the force Of his
own talent, and without any intrigue, rises up
quietly the ladder Of fame, step by STEP as the
magnificent oak rises from the acorn TO mid heaven,
until he quietly becomes Chief Magistrate Of a
great nation Of nearly thirty millions Of people.
In no other country under the canopy Of Heaven,
can such beautiful and inspiring spectacle be wit
messed. In fact, the machinery Of American de-
mocracy works as smoothly as that Of the steam
chips Atlantic and Pacific, fulfilling, to nicely,
the purposes for which they fabricated, with
GU, jar, and with perfect ease and safety.

New PHILosoPHERs AMONG THE PrrTIcoAr.-
The Rev. Mr.. Griswold, the Rev. Mr.. Ripley, Dr.
Francis, and the remainder of the first committee
on the Rochester knockings, have recently turned
their attention in other directions. These philo-
eophers. many Of them of the socialist school of
politics and morals, started the game in the spirit
ual regions, and were like keen-sccnted beagles
in the hunt. They have now retired, and given
place TO q new set Of democratic philosophers.
Captain Rynders and his associates have visited
the curious fish who have stirred the spiritual
waters, and own up brsvely as to the influence Of
the Rochester fry. The whole story ID very re-
markable. The Captain has not come of vctsr-
ous in this case. Though good at knocks, he has
Knocked under-has no explanations to make
cannot solve the mystery-and says the whole
world must acknowledge the ingenuity of the
spirits. AT least, this is frank and honest.
There has recently been another committee, CON-
posed Of ladies, who have done wonders. They
have beaten all the other philosophers out Of the
field, if we may credit their reporter, the Naval
Storckeepcr, who has been fuller Of intelligence
on their Investigations than all the rest of the
world combined. They have introduced new
school Of philssophy-so that now we have tn.
Peripatetics Of socialism, the Stoics of the demo.
cracy, and the EpicureaDs of the Evening Mirror,
each, respectively, OVERLOOKING with themes and ex.
plantations, and arousing the world to sounds Of
wonder and amazement. This is a remarkable
employment of the surplus talent in the metropolis
and, in the absence Of more exciting themes, the
heroes Of the socialist journal, Captain Rynlers
and his army, and Hiram Fuller and his lady-com
mittee, may be very curiously employed to amuse
the town, throughout the warm weather.
