MEDLEY OF CHARACTERS IN CoNcREss

MEDLEY OF CHARACTERS IN CONGRESS
First and foremost in the list of those
who will make their impress is Old Bul.
lion, who is not inaptly called the Roar.
ing Lion of the West.
Next on the list is Joshua R. Gid
dings, who will probably second Mr.
Bullion in most, if not all his move.
ments.
Gerritt Smith, the eccentric head and
front of the extreme wing Of the Aboli.
tionists, will, no doubt, also, side in the
main with Messrs. Benton and Giddings,
and startle the hot blood of the South,
by radical anti-slavery propositions.
John Wentworth, known as Long
John, is another character, who, after
an absence of one term, returns from
the Chicago District, and will be likely
to make as much mischief as he can.
Caleb Lyon, an erratic Poet and
Politician, Philosopher and Statesman,
who comes from one of the New York
Districts, is an Independent Democrat,
and is one of the great champions Of
the Land Reformers, will also figure
conspieuously.
Jose Manuel Gallegos, the Delegate
from New Mexico comes endorsed as a
good Locofoco, but he does not under
stand a word of English, ard his
speeches, win, therefore be Greek to
most of the members.
Mike Walsh, of New York City, ap-
pears on the national stage, and that as
the very hardest of the Hard Shell
Democracy of the Empire State. OF
him we need not speak.
The eccentric VIM. r. Smith, of
Alabama, who is Doctor, Lawyer,
Preacher, Professor, and we know not
what else, is another character returned
to the next Congress as Hard Shell
Democrat. He it was, who, during the
last Congress made move to have
Kossuth indicted for high treason.

Col. SCHoULER's SALUTAToRY.-The
Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday has the
salutatory of its new editor-in-chief.-
tits ably written, and unexceptional in
sentiment. The following extract will
Indicate the future political course of
the Gazette:
As regards the political character of
the Gazette, in the future, we need only
point to the past. 1t has ever been
known as Wing journal. and as such
we trust it viii ever be known. Be-
lieving as we do, that the true policy of
the Nation and of the State, the policy
which best practically realizes the idea
of TRUE PROGRESS, is the one advocated
and maintained by the Wing party, we
shall stand up firmly in support of that
party, its principles, its usages and its
candidates, and although the Wings
were badly beaten in the last Presi-
dental campaign, yet that defeat was
the result of causes which are not likely
to occur again. Through the haze of
the Present we can see bright light in
the Future. We are willing to bide our
time, and for the present, to allow politi-
cal events to assume their own shape,
without our active interference, assured
that they will present no ungainly FIRMS
to the Wing vision when the elements
are fully combined.

WH1rEwAsHISe ExrRAoRDINARY.-

WHITKwAsHIEG EXTRAORDINARY
The Rev. James Williams, the well
known and philanthropic missionary, SC
long resident in the South Sea Islands,
taught the natives to manufacture lime
from the coral of their shores. The
powerful effect produced upon them,
and the extraordinary uses to which
they applied it, he thus facetiously
describes:
CATER having laughed at the process
of burning, which they believed to be
to cook the coral for their food, what
was their astonishment when in the
morning they found his cottage glitter
ing in the rising sun, white as snow:
they danced, they sing, they shouted
and screamed with joy. The whole
island was in commotion, given up to
wonder and curiosity, and the laughable
scenes which ensued after they got pos
session of the brush and tub battle de-
scription. The bon ton Immediately
voted it cosmetic and kalydor, and
superlatiyely happy did many swarthy
coquette consider herself could she but
enhance her charms by a dab of the
white brush. And now party spirit
ran high, as it viii do in more civilized
countries, as to who was or who was
not best entitled to preference. One
party argued their superior rank; one
had got the brush, and was determined
at all events to keep it; and a third
tried to overturn the whole, that they
might obtain some of the sweepings.
They dit. not even scruple to rob each
other of the little share that some had
been SO happy as to secure. But soon
new lime was prepared, and in a week
not a hut, domestic utensil, war
club, or garment but what was as
white as snow; not an inhabitant but
had skin painted with the most
grotesque figures; not a pig but what
was similarly whitened, and even moth
ers might be seen in every direction
capering with extravagant gestures and
yelling with delight at the superior
beauty of their whitewashed infants"

THE MAR1NE MoRrAIIrY.-Tbe re-

The MARINE MoRrAIIrY.-The re-
cords of the terrible and unprecedented
marine mortality do not at all fall off.
The papers seem agreed to speak of it
as cholera, and d-probably it is that, but
it is very little we known of the matter,
considering the .ravages that have been
made. Is tia shaft shot from the other
side, spent before reaching our shores?
in other words, is it an infection con-
tracted before starting and conveyed
from one to another, on board, and so a
matter which no cleanliness could have
the effect of preventing? The arrival
of the ship George Hurlbut from HaYre
last night, having lost seYenty-fve
persons by death on board, looks other
wise. For Hsvre is not yet like Liver
pool, seriously affected with the disease.
At the last accounts few cases had
occurred there, and the authorities were
bestirring themselves, but even about
the docks the city was generally clear of
the plague. Or, is it something gen.
Grated on shipboard? and, if SO, where
Is the cause? Are the packet-ships
more filthy than usual? Is the beef or
pork less wholesome? Do they allow
more human beings to be piled into
their steerages than can live on the air
that is possibly able to squeeze in be-
tween decks? Or is there a meridian
line between our coast and that of Eu-
rope along which the plague keeps
watch--swooping down upon every YES
sci passing it on which the laws of
health are seriously violated? From
the last nor the worst is not
yet Time enough to study these mel
ancholy phenomena is yet afforded us.
But the authorities of the ports from
which these death-bearing vessels sail
cannot start too early to discover what
the trouble is. Nor is it safe for our
to neglect the most thorough |
examination into the condition of pack !
Its arriving or sailing. Our own inter-
est requires it, and certainly humanity |

HOW 1 FELL IN LOVE.
And rhnt Becaue of II.

The first time / saw Mrs. Perwinkle,
was when she was sweet sixteen 1t
vas at party my sister gave to her
schoolmates, and Amelia Ann, for that
was the dear creatures name, was the
divinity of the evening. She wore a
blue dress-I shall never forget the
dress-which was cut low in the neck,
showing pair of the whitest, roundest,
and most polished shoulders in the
world; and she had long golden ring

thing half SO angelic.
Perhaps she was as much impressed
by my appearance; she has often since
told me she was, for she allowed me to
dance with her almost every set,- said
YES to everything 1 proposed, and
drank a glass Of champaign at supper,
at my urgent request. though insisting
that she had never done such a wicked
thing in her life before. When Harry
Hansen spoke to her, and asked her to
eat philopena with him, felt as if !
could have knocked him down. Dear
creature! heard her afterwards re-
fuse to let him see her home, and shall
never forget how chop-fallen he looked,

THE FIRST CANNON SHOT.

BY CHARLES MAcKAY.
Hark over Europe sounding.
The first, the signal gun;
The fire has burst, the blow is struck,
And fatal deed is donel
From north to south it echoes,
From east to west afar,
The insulted nations join their heads,
And gather to the war.
From restless slumbers waking
They thunder in her ear,
Unhappy Poland starts to life,
And grasps her broken spear.
Old Rome grows young to hear it,
There's mischief in her glancel
And Hungary mounts her battle-steed,
And waves her fiery lance.
Not long shall last the combat,
Though Russia laugh to scorn;
The wrongful cause, if up to-day,
Is down tomorrow morn.
When France unites with England,
Beware defeat and shame,
Ye foes of right who force the fight,
And fan the needless flame.
Harkl over Europe sounding,
The first, the signal gun,
But when the last loud cannon peal
-. Shall tell of victory won,
Be sure, ye proud aggressors,
Your hour shall not last long;
They may not, shall not, cannot win,
Who battle in the wrong.

A letter from Vienna, of the 9Th ult.,
in the New Prussian Gazette of Berlin,
says:
'.It is worthy of remark that several
Turkish and Wallacian merchants have
arrived here to pay their debts. This
is case which several times occurred
during the wars of Turkey with Eu-
ropean power. Turks have been seen
to come and pay their debts at the risk
of their lives in crossing through the
enemy's camp. Examples of this kind
have been known at Pesth, at Vienna
and at Arieste.

EVACUATION DAY.-This day, No
vember 25th, was celebrated in New
York City with a parade of the veteran
corps of the war of 1919, a general
military parade, religious services, illu-
mination of the City Hall, and an ad-
dress by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
On the 25th of November, 1783-now
just seventy years ago-was enacted the
last scene of the revolutionary struggle.
On that day the last British regiment
embarked from the Battery for the
shores of England, and -on that day
Gen. George Washington made public
entry into New York, amid the well
come shouts of an emancipated people.

COP ABOVE ALL.-An astronomer,
who had long idolized his favorite
science, became a jealous convert to
spiritual christianity. His intimate
friend, knowing his extreme devotion
to astronomical study, asked him
"What will you now do with your as
tronomy?'
His answer was worthy of a christian
philosopher, 81 am now bound for
Heaven, - said he, ''and take the stars
in my way!" f .t .s
By these words the astronomer taught
his friend that he had transferred his
affections from the created to the CREA-
ToR-that, instead of finding his highest
pleasures out of God, he found it in
God; and that the true use of the visi-
bic was to assist him in his aspirations
after the invisible and eternal.

DEAF PERsoNs.-E- new discovery
has been made relative to deaf persons.
Two artists in London have invented an
instrument which is placed within the
ears without projecting, and being Of
the same color as the skin, is not no
ticeable. 1t enables deaf persons to
enjoy general conversation, to hear dis
tinctly at church and public assemblies;
the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the ear is removed, and it
affords all the assistance that could be
desired.

ORIGINAL PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON
We had the pleasure yesterday of
seeing an original portrait of Washing
ton. painted in colored crayons by
Sharpless in 1896, and presented by
Washington to Mrs.. Gushing, wife of
Judge Gushing, when Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
This precious picture is now in posses
sion of Henry Bowen, Esq, who has
lately compared it with one by the
same artist, in the possession of G. W.
P. Gusts. Mr.. Custis sttests in GER
tifcate, the genuineness of the portrait,
and its precise resemblance to the other
picture by Sharpless, which is in his
possession.-Prov Journal, Wed.
