THE SILENT TEACHER OF HUMANITY.

As evening clothed the world again 10 shadows,
A sultan walked with proud and stately pace.
And. midst his groves OF palm, and vines, and a!oes
Looked suddenly a dervish in the face,
Who calny sat in earnest contemplation
Aud los, in thought, upon the messy ground
!, seemed to bs his only occupation
To turn a human skull around and round.
Tn, sultan at this meeting was surprised,
And co.diy asked with an expressive mien,
As II the humble thinker he despised,
What in the empty bone was to be seen.
~ found my liege, when day was scarcely breaking
Replied the priest, "the skull you here behold;
b., nowsoe'er my brains I've since been raking,
Cannot succeed it's problem TO unfold.
WIS; spite of all my thoughts and calculation,
cannot fs,hom, sire, is simply this:
DID a proud sultan own this decoration,
Ora poor dervish only call it his'" lFratzei.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the 1ntelligencer.l
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec IL, I

WAsuINGroS, D. c., Dec. 10, 81.
Editors IIlte2ligeneer--Just now there are
exciting times here. Nothing is much talked
about besides the split in the Administration
party; and the possibilities and probabilities OF
its widening to such an extent as to completely
overthrow all its pretensions to nationality. l
am not among those who desire such an event,
but greatly fear that split-a wholesale and
disastrous split, is impending. Senator Dou-
clas it is allowed on all hands, is fairly into the
opposition against the Kansas policy OF the Adj
mrinistration. never saw him exhibit more
power-more fervor, than he did in his late
speech Undoubtedly he occupies the only te-
nable ground, and a ground which conservative
men here vet hope the President did not mean
to contest with him. 1t is useless to talk about
the Lecompton Constitution ever getting through
Congress. Several eaucuses of the Northern
men have been held, and they are with Douglas
almost to a man. This question will be proml-
nently before the Senate all next week, and the
members of the House are all eagerness and
anxiety about its introduction for their discus
sion.
The galleries of the Senate last Wednesday,
presented most attractive appearance. There
was one scene which particularly occupied my
attention, and am disappointed that it escaped
the notice of several newspapers which have
/ published accounst of the incidents. Mrs.
i DOugas-formerly Miss Cutts-and her mother
were there. Mr.. Douglas himself never looked
better than on that occasion. His whole APP
pearance was very prepossessing. thought
could read peculiar look of satisfaction in the
4 face of his most accomplished lady. She has a
most expressive and intelligent look at all times,
but it was especially so that day. She appeared
proud of her husband-proud of the position
which he seemed to occupy before the assem-:
bled wisdom of the Senate Chamber. noticed
her scanning the face of Lord Napier, who was
present, as if anxious to know whether he had
ever heard any thing in the Parliament of Eng
land to surpass this effort of her husband.
In the House nothing has been done, as they
have been adjourned for the last two days.
Long respites will be quite fashionable until the
New Year. 1t is generally believed that the
following heads of committees will be announ-
ced next weell-Mr. Phelps, Committee of Ways
and Means; Clancy Jones, Foreign Affairs;
Gen. Quit,nan, Military Affairs; Mr.. BOcock,
Naval Affairs; Mr. Letcher, Claims; Stephens,
judiciary; Harris, Commerce; Cobb, Lands;
Houston, Territories; English, Post Office.
There arc a great many people coming and
going by every train cars. The lively season
is as yet hardly commenced. The President
gives a big dinner next week, which will inau-
gurate the gala season before and during the
holidays. y.

The Argus on She1raTd Clemens, Again
To day we publish the personal explanation
of Mr.. Clemens in reference to the breeze which
he raised in the House of Representatives in re-
gard to the public printing. We are glad to
learn that the emotions which he experienced
after the corrupt approaches were made produc-
ed fit of '..trettiHg," for that shows his blood
was up and his indignation aroused, but not to
an alarming extent or he might have, at the mo-
ment the advance was made, done what he did
on the floor of the House-called the man San
unprincipled scoundrel." That would look bet
ter and although it is harsh language and such
as should be INDUCED in only particular occasi-
Ons, would have read better than the reference to
| the pains peHdltie. However, our Represent
alive was indignant, and fTetted until his indig-
nation sOftened into sympathy and his sympathy
assumed the form of shield for innocent mem
