Diogenes.

IN his old age, Diogenes was taken captive
by pirates, who carried him to Crete, and
exposed him for sale as slave. On being
asked what ho could do, he replied, "Govern
faen; sell me, therefore, to one who wants a
struck with this reply, purchased him, and,
on returning to Corinth, gave him his lber-
ty, and consigned his children to his educa-
ton. The children were taught to be cynics,
much to their own satisfaction. 1t was dur
ing this period that his world-renowned in
ierview with Alexander took place. The
prince, surprised at not seeing Diogenes join
ING the crowd of his flatterers, went to
see him. lie found tt cync sitting in his
tub, basking in the sun. 81 am Alexander
the Great" said he. 81 am Diogcnes the
cynic," was the reply. Alexander then ask
ell him if there was anything he could do
for him? "Yes, stand aside from between
me and the sun" Surprised at such inlitfer
ence to princely favor-an Indifference so
strikincly contrasted with everything he
could have hitherto witnessed-he exclaimed
"Were not Alexander, would be Dogenes"
One day, being brought before the King,
and being asked who he was, Diogenes re-
piled, "a spy on your cupidity;' language,
the boldness of which must have gained him
universal admiration, because implying great
sngularity, as well AS force of character.
Singularity and insolence may be regarded
as bis grand characteristics. Both of these
are exempfed in the anecdote of his light
ing lamp in the daytime, aud peelng
about the streets as if earnestly seeking G some
thing; being asked what he sought, he re-
Piled "A man." The point of this story is
lost in the usual version, which makes him
seek "an honest man." The words in Laertius
are simply, Il seek man." Diogenes did
not seek honesty; he wanted to find a man
in whom honesty would be included, with
many other qualities 1t was his constant
reproach to his contemporaries that they
had no manhood. He said he had never
seen men; at Sparta he had seen children;
at Athens women. One day he called out,
"Approach, all men!" When some approach
ed, he beat them back with his club, saying
Il called for mon; you are excrements."
Thus he lived ill his ninetieth year, bitter,
brutal ostentatous, and abstemiou; disgrac
ing the title of THE Dog" (for dog has
affection, gratitude, sympathy, and caressing
manners,) yet growing over his unenvied
virtue as cur growIs over his meatless bone
forever swapping and snarlng without occa-
sion; an object of universal attention, and
from many quarters, Of unfeigned admiration
One day his friends went to see him. On
arriving at the portico under which he was
wont to sleep, they found him still lying on
the ground wrapped in his cloak. He seem
ed to sleep. They pushed aside the folds of
his cloak; he was dead,

HARD TINES FOR THE FIDDLERs-We see by
the accounts Of our city reporters that the
dancing business is in bad way, both in the
upper and lower strata Of society. Some of the
fashionable dancing schools up town are almost
without pupils, while business is equally bad
with our fellow-citizens who attend to the heels
of the people Of the Bowery. Old Tammany,
which was wont to re-echo nightly with the
shake-downs of the unterrifed, II now almost
deserted. The Apollo, which was devoted alike
to the worship of the god Of Music and the fair
and free Terpsichore, has been obliged to re-
ducc Its prices: the City Assembly Rooms
Niblo's Saloon, and other popular resorts for
the saltatorial youth of the city. have followed
in the same track There IL evidently some
discord among the fddlers, and the dancers
heel are not so light as usual.
The fact Of the matter IL that the chief sup
porters Of the public balls are merchants clerks
and smart young mechanics. Many Of the fs-
mer have been Obliged to take reduced salaries
or have been thrown out Of employment alto
rethcr while the latter are worse off, If posi-
Bile, many works having stopped In the
autumn and nothing new to be commenced dur

better. We hear of no balls at the Academy
except BOBBY Brooks charity affair, which
though he il much in need Of assistance, will
be very likely to fall through. The Light
Guard, which usually gives ball in aid of the
Monumental fund Of the corps has not yet de-
cided whether or not one shall be given this
season. There will be very few balls in private

THE New KANSAS EXCITEMENT FAILURE AT
WASHINGTON to our advices from
Washington the Kansas coup d'aa Of Governor
Walker and Senator Douglas is nothing but .
fash in the pan, after ALL 1t appears that upon
the question of confirming Mr.. Denver, the new
Secretary of State for Kansas, Senator Douglas
led off with speech in opposition to the con-
frmation but that when the vote was called,
the democrats in a body stood firm by the ad
minisration, excepting Mr.. Broderick of Cali
fornia, who left the chamber in the wake of Mr.
Douglas. This is o sorry show for the rebel
lious Senator, and pretty forcibly indicates his
weakness in this new movement. In the House
Of Representatives his detection does not appear
to have made the slightest impression. From
these significant evidences of the temper OF tha
democracy of both branches of Congress, we
begin to think that this Walker and Douglas
coup dftat against the administration will proba-
bly, prove ~ contemplate fzzlc as the terrible
uproar Of the Southern fre-eaters last summer
against Mr.. Buchanan, for his audacious refusal.
upon their demand to remove Gov. Walker
Let the Lecompton constitution be brought be-
fore Congress, without slavery, and lot Congress
adopt 1t, and leave Kansas to take care of her
self, and the political capital of Northern dirt
eaters and Southern Gre-eaters will be scattered
to the winds.

GONE TO WAsHNGroN.-It appears that Gov.
Walker has gone to Washington but we fear
that he goes on an Improbable mission. While
here In this city, we understand, he was very
free and very indiscreet in his denuncations
Of the Kansas policy Of Mr.. Buchanan, in refe-
renee to the Lecompton constitution. On the
other hand, the President will perhaps find It
convenient to dispense with the official services
of Gov. Walker, in view Of the early admission
of Kansas as a State
