TO the Editors of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: The communication on the out
side of the Telegraph on Monday last, headed
!" Ptping behind the Scenes" gives rise to con-
lecture as to who the eminent Cabinet Minister
referred to can be. ot'hs.'
ask, can it be the gentleman who was very
poor once himself, so poor that he could not
get trusted for pair of boots, and who, had it
not been for the heavy donations of his infatu-
ated wealthy friends, could not now get trusted
for any thing? e@
How often it occurs that persons rising from
obscurity and poverty to greatness, in the
worlds estimation, will put on ridiculous airs,
and forget what they have been as well as what
they really are.
Suppose the Cabinet Minister in question had
said to the lady who called on him at his resi-
dence instead Of his Department, "Madam, my
rule is to attend to all business matters at the
Department; but as you say my messenger has
treated you nncivilly, for several days in sue
cession, and has refused to let you see me at
my office, and also to take your letters to me,
will waive my rule on This occasion and read
the letters you have brought with pleasure.
Madam we have just dined, but if you will take
some cake and wine, will order those refresh
ments with pleasure. We are but servants of
the people, madam. You are one Of the sover~
eigns. ! fear j win not be able, at present, to
give your husband employment, for the places
are all filed, but will keep his case in remem-
brance, as you say he is good Whig, is out of
employment and is blest with as many children
as were youchsafed to John Rodgers Of old
Madam, you will always find the latch string of
our door out. | wish you good~day." 81
Query: Wouldn't Sam Houston, if President
even, 50 treat well-bebaved, well-dressed mar
ried lady Wouldn't Stephen A. Douglas?
Wouldn't John Y. Mason? Wouldn't almost
any gentleman high in station, who justly APP
precated himself and the world generally?

for the stage. and will make his first appear
ance for several years at the Broadway the
atre on the 18th of September next. He win
appear in Philadelphia after his New York en-
pagement, Mt Marshall's Walnut street theatre.
ADVERTISE business that is worth fol-
lowing is worthy of being advertised, and next
to having ones stock covered by insurance, we
believe the most important step is to advertise
il to the world. There is nothing like keeping
ones trade before the publio,, or ones name in
such q prominentlpositio that it may not be
forgotten. A simple card in o single paper is
better than none at all for the name and the
trade become associated in the mind and the
want Of an article suggests at once the name OF
the trader.-N Y. Sun.

March 90, 1851.

HWe hear many people complaining of weakness,
general debility, &C., which is without doubt the re-
suit of too close confinement and application. A dali
ly ride of a few miles, on horseback, will be the
standing prescription of a judicious physician in such
cases, and we are sure it would be beneficial. But
many have no horse at their command, or are ignorant
OF Workmanship. To such we recommend the use OF
DR.. HooGand's German Bitters, Prepared by DR.. C. NJ.
Jackson, Philadelphia; they will always cure, and to
thoss who can ride we would say use it.
