FASTIDIoUsNEss ILLUSTRATED. - Hans Christian Anderson has given us one of his shrewd little stories in point.
 There was once a Prince of great honor and renown, who wished 10 marry rea Princess. Many persons calling themselve, princesses had been offered for this dignity but there was always something about the ladies which made him doubtful of theil claim 10 the title. So not being able to satisfy his fastidousness on this point, he remained for long time undecided.
 One night, during tremendous storm, a young lady came to the door and requested admittance, saying that she was real princess. She was in a most pitiable con- dition-draggIed from head 10 foot, with the rain pouringin torrents from her dishev- elled locks; she looked forlorn enough for a beggar. But the prince would not prejudge her; he invited her 10 spend the night, and in the meantime his mother devised plan by which to ascertain whether her preten- sions were genuine. On the place where the princess was to sleep she put three small peas, and on the top of them twenty mat trasses, covering these again with twenty feather beds. Upon this luxurious couch the supposed princess retired to rest, and in the morning she was asked how she had passed the night.
 "Oh, most wretchedly!" she replied "there was something hard in my bed, which distressed me extremely, and has bruised me all over black and blue !"
 Then they knew that her pretensions were not false, for none but real princess could have possessed sufficient delicacy of perception to feel three little peas under twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds

The "reiection" friends of Mr.. Webster met
again at Faneuil Hall last night, and had queer
sort Of n time. The President Of the previous
meeting got in a great rage because somebody OBJ
ected to his assumption Of the chair, and much
disorder ensued. Finally they got under way, and
the sneakers delivered second editions Of their last
weeks efforts. and satisfied themselves that they
would elect Mr.. Webster with all ease. Our re-
port is graphic and peculiarly rich and if not ex-
aggerated certainly places the ringleaders in the
affair in most pitiful and ridiculous light.
We have from Washington an account of most
disgraceful assault upon clerk in the Pension
Bureau by George w. Jones, Loco-FOco Con-
gresham from Tennessee. 1t seems that the man
assaulted (Mr. Van Wyck) had asserted that no
member Of Congress earned his salary half as
much as the clerks in the departments which we
take to be a self evident truth. For this, Jones
tined to break chair over Van Wyck's head in
hiring him severely. Mr.. Van Wyck owes it to
the people no less than himself to punish the Con-
gressional ruian to the utmost extent of the law.

on Wednesday, August a, which, we be-
lieve, is the day of the meeting of the
State Association of Teachers at the same

Of the Peoples College are yet few, scat
tered and generally poor, so that years may
yet elapse before its objects shall be real
lied. Those who feel the deepest in
terest in it can seldom spare the time for)
not to speak of the cost of, attending Con-
ventions. Yet the idea must nevertheless
be patiently commended to public regard
until it shall have won its way to attention
and approval. We ask the friends of the
proposed College in each City or Town of
the State to hold meeting if possible and
try to send Delegate to Elmira. Where
they are not enough for a meeting, let any
one who can conveniently afford it attend on
his own motion. Letus have Convention,
if but a small one, for thereby some light
will be diffused, some interest excited.

KOsssTH,s DEPARTURE.

Gov. LOUIS KossUTH yesterday lett tor
Europe in the Africa. He informed US
some days since, that, for reasons satistac-
tory to himself, he should endeayor so to
time his departure as not to have it anti
cipated; and we were therefore not sur
prised on learning that he had left.
Well: we know not when no5ler'
truer loftier soul has crossed the Atlantic.
No position could involve a severer ordeal
for manly integrity and uprightness than
that of the exiled chief of Hungary, and
no ordeal has ever been more manfully en-
countered. An exile and fugitive, yet
the leader, the guide and the hope Of a
Nation, he has been compelled to suppl
cate and to plead-tO bear humiliations
and suffer indignities--to throw himself
and his cause on the magnanimity of
straDgers-to speak when exhausted Ma
ture ard impaired Health urgently de-
manded repOse-tO meet and deal with all
manner of selfish, shallow, sinister and re-
pulsive people as well as the pure, the no
bic, the generous and to feel from first to
last that the sordid and che stolid could
rot appreciate his motives nor realize his
aims, but would naturally give ear to and
be influenced by the habitual suggestions
of the base and the venal that he was
making patriotism a trade and playing on
the sympathies of People that he might
fill his pockets from the offerings of their
pity and live henceforth in INDECENT lux
ury on the fruits of his successful impos-
ture What must be the agony of lofty
soul compelled to drain this cup to the
dregs, and to feel that no rest could be his
portion, no vista Of peace opened before
him, but that he must move unAinchingly
on to the fulflment of his destiny.
The American interlude in this great
mans eventful career is ended-for him tri-
umphantly. He has walked amid burning
plowshares and never tainted nor faltered.
That he may have sometimes spoken hasti-
ly, irdiscreetly, is probable; who that
ever underwent such an ordeal has ever
utterly avoided verbal errors! But
through all his wanderings. his audiences,
his addresses, his responses, he has so
borne himself that Hungary and Liberty
may well be proud OF their foremost cham
pion. He has done his work in America,
and done it well. he has touched with
Ithuriels spear this heap Of windy pre-
tense, of lofty vaporing for Freedom and
the Rights OF Man, and shown what are
its substance and quality. He has separa-
ted the wheat from chat, drawing broad
and deep the gulf of separation between
the friends and enemies of Mankinds en-
reimbursement. Fortunate alike in the
friends and the enemies whom his Ameri-
can tour has developed, he may now meet,
if such be Gods inscrutable will, the assas-
sins steel, the hireling's bullet, the des-
pots axe or cord, and, rejoicing in his re-
lease from heavy load of responsibilities,
anxietles and sorrows, may proudly say,
To America, at least, l have fulfilled nv
mission. Ihave called her with no timid,
mo quavering voice, to take her stand on
the ramparts Of a worlds deliverance,
For her have not lived in vainl'
