A QUESTION IN MORAL PHILosoPHY.-
The Opal for January, published at the New
York Insane Asylum at Utica, gives the fol-
lowing:
Not many days since, the following con-
versation took place in the ladies first hall of
Asylumia. Miss Dix had passed through a
moment before, and younger daughter of
our household, just started in her teens,
made one of cluster called together by the
occasion.
Girl-"Who was the lady whom we saw
with the DR.. ?"
Lady" That was Miss Dix, the philan-
thropist."
Girl" What is philanthropist, please 2"
Lady" Philanthropist, my dear, is a
word taken from two Greek words, signifying
lover of men,"
Girl" Well then, are not all we women
philanthropists

A Coon ONE.-Davy Crockett happened
to be present at an exhibition of animals,
some time ago, in the city of Washington,
where monkey seemed to attract his par
ticular attention, and he abstractedly observ-
ed: eff that fellow had on pair of spec
tacles he would look like Major Wright, of
Ohio" The Major happened to be just be
hind Crockett, and tapped Davy on the
shoulder. Turning around, Davy very formal
ly remarked: "Pll be hanged, Major, if
know whose pardon to ask, yours Or the monk

The POISONING AT WAsHINeToN.-It is
now believed that no less than seven hundred
persons have been seriously affected by the
Natioual Hotel poison at Washington; and
some twenty or thirty deaths have occurred
in consequence. Among others, the Hon.
Robert j. Walker is not yet entirely recover
ed from his severe attack. Senator Hale of
New Hampshire, has become thin, lean
man, under its ravages. 1t is now the opn-
ion of many persons that there was a delb-
crate purpose to poison Mr.. Buchanan; and
that the diabolical scoundrel hazarded the
lives of thousands in the attempt.
