REMARKABLE lNFATUATIoS.-There is mer-
chant Of this city of marked ability and success.
rich and of high social standing, who is the sub
ject Of a regular infstustion. He is one Of the
best business men in New York. He has an ele-
giant house, and wife to whom he is devotedly
attached. Once in six months he leaves his
home suddenly, and hiss drunken debauch
that lasts usually seven days. An uncontrol-
liable ft comes over him and he disappears with
out moments warning, and gives himself up
to strong drink. He goes to a hotel, takes a
room. and allows 10 one to enter but the servant
who attends him, lie pays literally for all that
he has, and feeds on the choicest viands Of the
season. Woodcock, game, and the choicest
cooking Is served up to him. During the weeks
dissipation he drinks but one kind of liquor.
But he varies it with his various debsuches.
Sometimes it is brandy at other times whisky;
then II IS champagne or gin. During his weeks
rioiing he is the most loathsome Of men. He
does not remove his clothes nor pay any atten-
ton t. personal cleanliness If his friends do
not find him before his furlough is out, be comes
home, cleans himself up, and is a man again for
the next SIX months. When he starts on his
tramp his family is nearly distracted He covers
his tracks so that it is difficult to trace him lie
is too good customer to be interferred with,
and it is difficult to find him, even when the
hotels are visited, where he is. When he returns
home, the scene in his house is very extraordin-
ary. Covered with shame, remorse, and in
tears, be throws himself before his sorIowihg
wife, and vows never again to touch the intoxi-
eating cup. But as the period rolls round the
paroxism returns, and he is swept away One
would suppose that such excesses would ruin his
heslth or bankrupt him in fortune. or do both

years, and promises, if he lives as long, to keep

The NEW S-uooL oF ART.-Tte Sabbath vas

She soon took up her brush and without any

green leaves in perhaps two minutes tiue. This
WAS handed sbout the hall. and large bouquet
wss then painted in 4 remarkably short tine snd
then added some flowers 10 her first bunch Of
leaves. The large bouquet from little distance
appeared as well as most pair things Of the kind
do, aud was executed in a twentieth Of the time
which would ordinarily be occupied. When her
dishes Of colers we're disarrangei she replscei
them with energy which did net speak vel
for the temper of the controlling spirit. Ia

up conversation while At work but it was inau-

The performance il quite wonderful no matter
how it is done, and it it only professei to be a
sleight-of-hsnd performance would draw good
houses. The theory of her friends is that she is

her mind and vocal organs are under the control
of some other spirit. She has been doing these

A CHANCE FOR LITIGATIoN.-A Boston c0rTe-

up the will Of Joshua Sears, who died sixteen
years ago, leaving an immense property. and

discovered tina; it is loosely drawn up, AMI may
be the means Of depriving his son (snd only
child,) Joshua Montgomery Sears, now about
fifteen years old, Of the great and acoumulat-
ing property when he shall have become Of age
At twenty Oae years Of age the son is to have
$4,000, and that is all save q yearly income
until he is thirty years, amounting TO 10000
year. No provision Is ms1e for the son after
he has passed the age Of thirty. The trustees

worth S3j, 100000 by the time the son becomes
thirty years old a; and the income Of that will he
equal to S350,000 annually. Taxing things in
their natural order, 1t is .sir to presume thst

SryAroas NYE AND CARPEyrER.-Nye Is one
Of the baaisomest, if not the handsomes,, man
in the Senate lie resembles Ben. Franklin re-
duced to trowsers and swallow tail Nye has
more intellectual power than he gets credit for,
AMI we're he net so indolent, would mske uoise
in the world a leading poiiiician, if not
statesman. He hss fine sense Of humor, that
at times. approaches to wit heard something's
concerning the senator, last night, that makes
me regret the few ugly things hsve said Of him.
lie is one OF the best hearted men in the world
and has dependent upon him a whole tribe of
helpless people. once roomed in the same house
with Seust0r Nye, and was struck with the
thronc of people that VISITED on, followed ard
clung to him. The larger part Of them were
old women | never before saw such a raft.
such levees, such professions Of aged fcmsles /;
and last night | learned that these were forlorn
females possessed Of claims, and stuck to Nye
because Nye could not say them nay. good
generous heart in s man who has rubbed along
through life as Seustor Nye has, is some
thing to cherish. But when to this, one adds
the fact that this merry, jesting man
lives surrounded by skeletons, in a house

thies, are aroused IS well as admiration. Sena-
tor Nye is very careless about money matters
Horace Greeley, who is yet more so, said once
that he would make = first class secretary of the
treasury, as he could borrow more and pay less
than any man living The fling was unkind,
and. as have said, very unjust, for Horace is
an &" owed TO Horace when it comes to that,
having run through several fortunes without
being able to make any show for it. But Sena-
tor Nye is open to the inputation. This same
friend told me, in illustration, of a gentleman
loaning Nye quite q sum to meet pressing ne
cessity, and before he could pay il out the pre-
cious notes were all borrowed from him by some
friends sorely pressed, who never paid. Mr.
Carpenter has been a public disappointment
since his return to the Senate He came here
following wide reputstion for learning and
eloquence thst he has not justified since He
has pOrtly form and a massive head, and re-
sembles a corn-fed Webster, lacking the refine
ment in appearance that tempered the look Of
the swe-inspiring expounder OF the constitution.
| fear that Senator Carpenter has fallen into the
sinful ways Of Washington that spoils the stu
dent and puts an end TO the embryo Statesman.
