DEATH AND VANITY.-The ST. Louis Her
aid of Wednesday, says "Some of our fash
ionabe ladies', owing to an excess of vanity, in
order to give tone and permanency to their
complexion, or, as they say, 'to improve their
complexion are in the habit of taking arsenic
in small doses. Within the past week two
ladies of this city, members of wealthy fami-
lies, and ladies of fashion, have died very sud-
denly. Their nearest friends and relations say
that they were arsenic eaters , but in order
to guard against scandal, the real cause of
their death has not been made public. How
ever, these same persons do not hesitate to say
privately, that an overdose of arsenic was the
real cause of their death. Vanity must, in
deed, be an almost uncomfortable passion with
persons who, to crafty it, will hazard their
very existence. There is no doubt of the fact
that this practice is general among our fashion
able butterflies, at least, to such an extent as
to become alarming"
Eastern times., 1855-12-27
Senator Cass and Mr.. Guy.

A Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican says that Gen. Cass has TAX
en- up his quarters at the National Hotel,
which establishment has lately changed pro-
prietors, and is now conducted by Mr.. Guy,
of GUYS hotel in Baltimore. This gentleman
bears very close resemblance in his personal
appearance to the distinguished Senator from
Michigan, and mistakes have happened in con-
sequence Both are large, somewhat corpu-
lent, and possessed of marked features, gait
and manner. The writer in question says
GA guest at the hotel lately astonished the
Senator by demand for better room
About an hour afterwards, as Gen. Cass was
leaving the house for the Senate, up came the
man again, and this time he commenced his
remarks by familiar slap on the shoulder,
Nov I've got you, old Guy, and want you
TO have me moved down story ortwo. Con-
found 1t, | thought asked you this morning.
but it turned out TO be old Cass was speak
ing TO, and he looked as cross as bear win
sore head Sir replied the senator IN
stern tone, and with pulverlzlng glance, you
are evidently liable TO mistakes, for you are
now talkinS 10 Gen. Cass second time.-
Good morning, sir The astonished victim
rushed TO the. bar, paid his bill and moved to
Wizards without delay"

Who is Responsible 7

The country is anxiously waiting for III,
organization of Congress. -Four weeks have
elapsed since the session commenced, and The
House is not yet organized. Where rests the
responsibility! Not with the democratic par
ty. surely, for the democrats are in minority
The opposition, republicans and know moth
ings are in the majority, and nothing but lheil
own quarrels prevents organization and stops
the wheels OF legislation. With them, then,
rests the responsibility of wasting the time Of
Congress and squandering the peoples money.
Since the election of this Congress, we have
had large stories told of what was TO be &C
complshed by this reform House of Repre-
sentatives. Claiming majority, they were
sure of the organization, and then they would
give the administration a lesson no, to be soon
forgotten. The people already see that the
opposition is made up Of factions not easily
sssimilaied-,hat the know-nothings are sim
ply after the spoils, and the abolitionsts long
ing for the same. They were unable even to
agree in caucus. and confusion attends all
their movements. There they are, floating
along vainly attempting to rescue order from
disorder till there appears no better chance OF
organization to-day than the first week OF the
session. With all their boasting OF strength,
they stand before the country specimen Of
the weakness of majority of factions.
On the other hand, the democrats by the
steadiness and quietness of their adherence To
their party, and an almost unanimous nomina-
tion for Speaker, demonstrate that the demo-
cratic party is the only national party upon
which the people can rely to carry out any
measure where national issues are involved.
They seek no combinations, but stand to their
nomination to man. Let them stand there to
the last even if it comes to defeat. Thei,
enemies and the enemies of the Constitution
can have but temporary triumph. Truth is
mighty, and the history Of the democratic par
" affords abundant evidence it will prevail at
last
