Singular AntiDathies,

We have heard how a great French
general ran away from a mouse, and
Peter the Great turned pale at the sight
of a cock roach. There are many such
instances of unaccountable fears and dis
likes. For instance -
Our distinguished fellow citizen, Robert
Shewerby, Esq, has perfect horror for
green tea, ever since his wife poured Il
cupfill Of it scalding hot down his back.
Mr.. Daniel Paynought always trembles
when he sees the hand of a sheriff S officer
on the knob OF his front door
Miss Polly Steekup is afflicted with
symptoms Of aversion when she comes
near a wash-tub. 1t is remarkable that
the sight of piano, or Of new novel,
does not produce any similar emotions OF
dread and repugnance.
Mr.. n. P. Willis, it is said, has a
mortal dislike for gutta peycha.
We know a young lawyer who always
looks gloomy and distressed when his
washerwoman makes her appearance.
We have seen a fashionable gentleman
very much disturbed at the sight of the
tailor who made his coat.
\ small piece Of bill-paper in the hands
of butchers boy almost throws Mrs.
Flashabout into commissions.
Even President Pierce, we are told, be-
comes exceedingly nervous when a
stranger Of seedy appearance asks per-
mission to exhibit testimonials of good
character and fitness for office.-Ph;a.

were more fools or rogues among the null

" I'll tell them what you say, and put an
end to you,' said the Colonel. But per-

he added, I" Surely you don't mean to say

Mr.. Mitchell and his family, together with
his friends, were cheered in the most enthusi-

them were followed by the throng. After
bowling to the people, Mr.. Mitchell ordered
the driver to proceed to the residence Of his

of a conqueror, and so enthusiastic were his
friends that they were almost ready to take

THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.

We have heard Of an innocent member
of Congress, who has expressed himself
in favor of moving the seat of Govern
ment from Washington, on account of the
high prices Of living here; the immediate
cause of his indignation being the card Of
the milkmen, putting up the price of
their commodity to ten cents per quart,
which, by-the-by, is, or at least should
be a guarantee that they won't furnish
his honor chalk for his tea, this winter
While we are well satisfied that the prices
Lot only of milk, but many other neces-
saries of life are at this moment inordi-
nately high here, we are no less satisfied
that they are the result of causes which
would follow thelocation of the seat of Gov
eminent of the United States anywhere.
A very great increase in the number of
mouths to fill an8 backs to clothe in
Washington has suddenly taken place.
\ greater increase than occurs anywhere
in the United States, annually; occurring
nowhere, be it remembered, without being
attended by similar rise in the cost of
living. This is an evil which will speed
lily correct itself. So soon as business
men elsewhere learn the temporary con-
dition of our markets, they will throw
goods and produce of all descriptions
upon it, until the glut brings down
prices, probably, for the time being, as
much too low, as they now range too
high for healthy trade. Milk at ten
cents per quart, in Washington, will, in
two months. double the supply; or there
are fewer tradesmen of enterprise within
hundred miles of this city, than we
imagine. This truth holds good with
reference to all the necessaries of life. As
for moving the seat of Government in
these days of almost instantaneous rail-
road communication everywhere, and
when, for all purposes of the Government,
1T will be impossible to select another site
offering so many advantages, he who Sc
r1ouSly thinks Of it, because milk is ten
cents quart, should be fed on milk and
nothing else for the balance of his life;
least anything more exhilarating may TN
duly stimulate his over-excitable system
