 ELooUENr.-A correspondent of the Memphis Chrsian Aduocats says of Rev. F. E. Pitts, Metho. dist preacher:

 CURE FOR DRuNKENNEss.-Dr. Beck, of Dantzic has just made curious discovery. He has found an antidote, or rather counter poison for ardent spirits. It is mineral paste. which he encloses in an olive, and which, once absorbed, destroys nos- only the rising. effect, but likewise the disastrous consequences of drunkenness. He tried several ex. periments on Pole, an irrccaimable drunkard, The individual, named Radevil swallowed three bottles of brandy in succession and after each bot. tie. ate an olive prepared by the doctor.

 THE Fools ARE NOT ALI DEAD.-One Miss Harriet Greene and Bryan J. Butts, were married at Hope dale a few days since, says the Providence Post) On being united, they entered protest containing six sections in which they object. 1st, to marriage in the dark, " meaning one without acquaintance Of temperament or character 2d, the annihilatiOn of woman personality 3d, the control, by herself of the wfes person, property children, place of resi- dence,' &c 4th, the authority of legal and eccle sastcal obligations 5th protests against the idea that marriage and co halitation are inseparable :" 9th, opposes union of mere lust and commends c |" divine' affinity which shall extend through earth into heaven. The rdiculousness of this nonsense is seen in the fact that it can have effect whatever upon the marriage contract and something worss than ridculousness is in the other fact. that the parties to the contract evidently want to reduce marriage to the level of the worst because the most dangerous, prostitution known in civilized commu. mites.

 The troubles in Kansas continue to cause the Al. ministration considerable anxiety. special mes. senger arrived in Washington from there, on Sstur- day, who reports that Montgomery, Brown and their partisans were determined upon making desperate stand. The action of the Missouri Legislature in calling out volunteers. and appropriating money tO be used against them, had caused great deal of CT. asperaton among them, and likely to result in a bloody civil war The interference of Missouri s much deprecated in influential quarters in Washing. ton and it is considered the duty of the President to forbid or at least to take measures to prevent it. An extra Cabinet meeting to discuss the matter was held on Saturday night but the of action re- solved upon has not yet transpired though sidered likely that the interpretation of the United States troops will be ordered.
