MISCELLANY.
The National Hotel Endemic.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Pennsylvania writes as follows:
Notwithstanding the length of time which
has elapsed since the National hotel cpidem-
ic prevailed, it is still the subject OF con
ver>ation. and occasionally we hear of some
one yet suffering from that dreadful dis.
ease. Within the past two months have
met gentlemen who were at the hotel du-
ring the time this mysterious epidemic pre-
vailed. and some Of their details are ra!hcr
astonishing. One gentleman informed me
that when the disease first showed itself, j,
was among party of gentlemen who had
been dining at private table with friend
and on this particular table two walters
were detailed TO attend. Two hours after
this dinner was over, fourteen Of the sixteen
gentlemen ut it were i'll, Tie following day
these same walters attended another private
table, and the guests they waited upon were
again taken sick. This contir j until the
rurnor began to circulate through the house
that the food was poisoned, aud then no
more persons were effected. although some
guests remained until The hotel WAS closed
The same gentleman remarked, that when
he discovered the condition of affairs, h.
determined, in his own mind, that The poi
Son was administered hy these servants in
such food as soups, tomatoes. DC, between
the kitchen and dining room, and he avoid
eating all such food aud confined himself
to the solids only, such as roast and boiled
meats, roast potatoes, de-; and although lie
dincd beside persons who were attacked bv
the malady and died. yet he never suffered
any indisposi;ion. lie mentioned his su<pi.
cioi to persons connected with the hotel. but
they would not listen to the allegation that
a mineral poison WAS being administer
cd. and attributed all the suffering to the
effects Of malaria.
Among those who-have Investigated this
painful mystery with the greatest care, the
opinion is all most exclusively entertained
that the guests, were poisoned 10y skiIIfM.
]y compounded arseDical preparation, a-
ministered. hy some Of the dining room ser.
wants. From all can learn, have not
doubtsbut that the poisoners oonlI have
been arrested, ifthe attempt had been made
at the proper time.
1t is estimated by those who have mark
ed the rsvages Of this disease that not less
than thirty persons have died from it, and
probably over hundred more ars prostra-
ted from it's effects, and must eventually be
destreged by its relentless grasp. 1t isaw-
