Rat Poisoning.

The poisoning matter at Washington is
causing much excitement. 1t will be re-
membered that committee of doctors in
vestigated the case and found poison in
the cisterns attached to the National Ho
tel. They found it just where they were
told to look. They also reported that no
body was respo sible. 1t is a nice point
to always know just " hat and how to re-
port, and they knew their business. 1t is
now suspected that the poisoning was BY
design of some evil doors, and that the
plot was successful. 1t is thought by some
that the Breckenridge interest may be at
the bottom; by killing off old Buck, anoth-
or Vice President, such as John Tyler or
Fillmore, would come in succession. The
Republicans are not suspected. Were old
Buck out of the way, more dangerous
one would take his place, for Brock knows
no power on earth but niggers. The mer-
chants of Washington have raised &c.,
900 to Te-investigate the matter, and il
possible, fix the charge of poisoning upon
more responsible agents than rats.

The Trap set-GaFne Refusing tOl
be CaugEit-Great Boohooingl
armOng TTAppers. -

The forthcoming Kansas election, in
which the free State men have resolved not
to participate, owing to frauds IN the reg
istry of names Of voters--abotit third Of
Missouri being on the list Of voters, reminds
us of a certain cowardly hully's standing
offer to fight, which we remember of read
ing; he armed himself with pistols and
dirks which be concealed; then gave no
tice that he could whip any man on tn"
ground, well knowing that not another out
himself was armed. Of course he whip
ped the crowd in wind and splutter-
branding all as towards. Just now, the
democracy all over the country are chal-
longing the honesty of the free State men
OF Kansas whom they call Black Repubfs
cans, and winning like spoiled children be-
cause they refuse to walk straight into the
negro trap so cunningly set by the pro-
slavery democracy to catch the uharmed
free State party. The democracy have a
great time at double dealing in this Kan
sas imbroglio. The free State men take
a straight forward track, which is the hard
est track in the world for the two-faced de-
mocracy to follow. The party opposed to
niggers in Kansas have rendered the fol-
lowing as an honorable compromise plat
form for both parties TO stand upon at the
polls, but the negro-lord democracy have
rejected it:
First-Two persons shall be selected
from each township or district to correct
the registry list-one by the Pro-Slavery
and one by the Free State party, who
shall proceed in company to take the cen
sus, and register all legal voters; and the
Probate Judges shall correct the first list,
and the appointment of delegates shall
be made according to the returns thus
made.
.Second-Four Judges of Election shall
be selected for each voting precinct, two
by the Pro- Slavery and two by the Free
State party; and the names of three Of
said Judges shall be required to a certifi-
cate of election to entitle person to seat

The END OF NIcARAeUAN FILLIBUsTER-
rsn.-Nicaragua seems to be now entirely
purged Of filibusterism, with the exception
Of feeble and desperate band, who with
Walker, still occupy portion OF the town
|of Riyas, hemmed in by an overwhelming
force of the allies. The magnificent vic
tory of Walker on the l6 Of last month,
lin which an almost incredible slaughter
was made, and the total dispersion Of the
allied forces effected, turns out to be, as
was generally anticipated, a fabrication.-
He was in reality obliged to retire from
San Jorge, which he had attacked, to his
camp at Rivas, with loss exceeding that
|of the Costa Ricans, If their accounts are
Ito be believed.
The allies are now established within
-four hundred yards Of his camp; his men
are dying or deserving daily BY dozens, and
are obliged to subsist on dog or mule flesh,
while his available force does not exceed
two hundred men, to which the allies can
probably oppose over ten times the num-
bier, well equipped and provisioned. They
have, moreover, taken possession Of San
Juan del Sur, on the Pacific, thus cutting
off his retreat in the rear; SO that the next
intelligence from the seat Of war must re-
port the death or surrender of the filibuster
Ichief, as escape, save by a miracle, is inn
possible.

Hog Cholera and Whiskey Cues
tinR

A new disease has been raging among
the hogs of Ohio and Indiana at the great
distilleries. A committee of the Ohio
Legislature investigated the cause; they
discovered several kinds of poison in the
slops of distilleries, the principal one being
strychnine. This poison has long been
used in the manufacture of whiskey such
as has been drank all along in this region,
for all the whiskey sold in Wisconsin, Hi
nois ard Iowa comes from the great ,listil-
leries of Ohio and Indiana and is branded
cincinnati Rectified," commonly called
rot,gut. 1t has long been known as de-
structive to human life, but nobody ever
thought of exposing it for killing men
when it was discovered as a hog killer-a
property destroyer, people began to make
fuss about it, and now" Cincinnati Recti-
fed Whiskey" is denounced everywhere as
the very worst enemy to the human fami-
ly-not because it kills men but because it
kills hogs. To kill men, therefore, is not
SO bad, but to destroy hogs and thereby
cut short cheap provisions, is crime OF
awful magnitude. This explains the hog
cholera and the cause of the late rise and
present high plice of bacon. As to the
whiskey, it generally receives an addition.
al dose of strychnine from bar keepers
Men drink it and think they are drunk
when they are only crazy-which is just
as good. except for the poison.

EsOp,s Fox Fabse-Feathers and
the Fox Tail FamlIy-"NU ne
spectacle society i'm the west
such as we had in the East"

such as we had IN the East
Esop's fable of the fox adopting tie
peacock's tail in order to improve his char
acter and get into respectable company:
his signal exposure and failure through IN.
ability to act well, and how poor foxy was
turned ont of decent society by putting on
extra French airs, is all familiar to our
readers--or ought to be. The fox family
still surviyc-with their peacock feathers,
and are yet in hopes of climbing into good
society by French airs and false tails
The wonderful peculiarly Of this foolish
French fox-fre family, is, that they don't
see themselves as Others see them. Did
they know the funny. jokes cracked at their
expense they'd keep dark-perhaps; but
they don't know all, nor will they learn,
for thew are so wise and all Others are so
vulgar-so i'll bred and 500 low down..
1t is a remarkable truth that persons
who most lament the State Of society in
the west, occupied the very lowest social
stand in the east. Those whom disgrace,
vulgar associations and he cravings OF
poverty drove away from the east, are the
very ones who come west and set up as
top-rounds in the western pyramid of char
acter, class and exclusive association
Those who never had any character to car
ry them into good society in the east are
sure to come west end assume social lead
ership.; they are eternally lamenting the
state of western society ceaseles in Dor
ing sensible people with their pedigrees
and family relations with the great Smiths
and Joneses and other eastern tad-poles.
Half of them are the descendants of Gov
errors, Senators and Constahfes-the 9th
err half came west as missionaries TO sci
bright examples and reform society; none
of themwere ever heard of three miles a
way from their parental homes till they
came west. Though not embracing q
tenth part of those who emigrate west
they assume to lead all others and really
believe themselves at the head of the heap,
till the heartless shafts of ridicuie bursts
out loud against them-at which they pre-
tend to be offended, but are not. Like
Don Quixote, the batteries of the beauti-
full but sarcastic Dulcinea never offend,
rather charm than offend. They are OF
that class, the more you tickle their vani-
ty, The more do they follow at your
heels.
Every sensible person knows that wes-
tern society is superior, in every respect
social, intellectual and moral, to eastern
society. Virtue is at much higher stan.
iard in the west, and there is far more
general intelligence. Men are more hon
orable in their duties to each other and
pay their debts more promptly. There is
more sociability, less pride and ten-fold less
of the hypocrtical or false socialism than
there is in the east.
