of the present administration This is the question and

GER 1t was the canker in his blooming
rose of life, and any allusion, however
accidental, was construed by him into a
deadly and never to be forgiven insult.
In a large party at the house of the
village clergyman, Coleridge, Lamb,
and the quondam cheesemonger were
present In d discussion on the hard
Poor Law, that was then agitating the
political and social circles Of London,
the retired tradesman took high ground,
and irritated the kind hearted Ella by
violent denunciations Of the poor; turn

Of triumph over the silent wit, he said to

MR. CALHOUN IN DEATH.--The Wash

Republican, thus speaks Of Mr.. Cal
houn's appearance after he had been laid
out:
| have just returr:ed from looking on
all that remains of that wonderful man,
who for forty years, with perhaps sim
gle exception has Influenced the destl-
MES Of the nation more than any other.
An immense concourse of persons are
constantly visiting the room where he is
lying He is dressed in full suit Of
black, with his fine waving hair brushed
back from the forehead and presenting
an outline of Senatorial dignity that will
never be effaced from the memories of
those who looked upon him. His face
is calm and placid, and almost beautiful
in its innocent childike repose, and looks
as if the spirit had passed away in gem
tie slumber. There is Sigh, tinge Of
sadness resting on the features, but none
Of suffering, although it is said the dis
ease under which he has suffered SO long,
was an exceedingly painful one.

AN INGENIOUS RoGUE-Feigning Su,-
ciae-The Buffalo Commercial relates
the following ingenious device of one Of
the rogues to ieign suicide. 1t was done
in the most approved vein:
A man by the name Of Waters, who
mas for some time past been in jail, for
the trlfiing offence Of passing. or attempt
ing TO pass counterfeit money, bade some
of his fellow prisoners long farewell,
remarking to them that ihey would prob
ably see him no more, as he was sick Of
j life in Jail, and wa going to leave.
In the evening, the iaiior commenced
making his usual examinations Of the
cells and locks, previous to retiring, when
on coming to Waters cell, he found him
apparently suspended by rope from his
bed. and fixed TO a spike driven III the
wall at the farther end of his cell, oppar-
emily dead. He was spoken to by the
jailor, but he was top far gone to make
any reply. The jailcr having had a
slight acquaintance with this gentleman,
since his stay in this city, and suspecting
his intentions-that the heap might be
meal, and possibly there might be cat
under it--cooIly walked on, remarking
that when he should become fired of his
position he must whistle, and he would
help to extricate hin, land thus left him
to enjoy another night S rest in jail. lie
is still in jail this morning, in fine health
and able, as usual, tc take his three pints
