John Slidell A brief dispatch from London announces the death of this distinguished American. The tele gram does not state w.here he died, nor give any particulars Os the 'sad .event. “John Sliddl is dead” is all that the trans-Atlantic news-gatherer has to say of the demise of a man who not long since played a very prominent part in the politics of the country of hisbirth v John Slidell was horn in the city Os New York, iiv 17W3. In early life he engaged in mercantile pur suits in New York, but not being very successful he abandoned commercial life, and, removing to' New Orleans, Lousiana, embraced the profession of law. He soon rose to eminence in his profession, ard was appointed by President Jackson United States Attorney for the District of Louisiana. Soon after establishing himself at New Orleans he entered political life and was elected to the State Legislature, in which he served several terms. - In 1813 he was elected to Congress, in which capacity he served nmil 1846. In tliat year President Polk appointed him En voy Extraordinary to negotiate for the settlement of ihe threatening questions between Mexico an the Unite! States. This mission proved fruitless, And the memorable war followed. In 1833 he was ihosen United Senator to fill the unexpired term of Pisrre Soule, appointed Minis ter to Spain. He was afterward" elected for six yeais, but up on the passage of the ordinance of secession by the State of Louisiana in 1861 he withdrew from the Senate and entered the diplomatic serv.ee of the Confederacy. In the fall of 1861 he was appointed Commis sioner to France, and, together with Mr. Mason, «f Virginia-appointed in the same capacity so England—sailed fiom Charleston.mn the Blockade, anil, reaching Havana, embarked from that point in the English mail steamer Trent for Europe. This steamer was overhauled November Bih by Capt. Wilkes, of £’ e United Stales steamer Ja„ cinto, the Commissioners, Slidell and Mason, cap tured, and in defiance of international lawmaker* to Fort Warren, Boston harbor, and confined as prisoners of war. The history of the release of the Commissioners and their re-embarkment for Europe is too fresh iu the memory of oar reader* to warrant repeti tion. Since, the Hon Mr. -Slidell has resided nn st ot the time in Europe. The announcement of his death will carry a feeling iff sadness to many a beait among the old residents of the Guff States.— Cincinnati inquirer.

HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED —A PRIEST BORNS HIS FINGER AND IMMORTALIZES HIMSELF. i Beefsteak wag discovered in. ancien times, by a Roman priest, whose name we" forgot, though it can be found in a book the title of which we dc not rememb°r. He had beet a piece*of beef,” to be of* fared to tbe god in whose temple he had officiated, and seizing >t by the thumb and forefinger, for Uie purpose of conveying it to the altar lie found it so hot that he was compelled to drop it; and instinctively placed his thumb and finger in his mouth. They happened to be covered with the juice of the steak, which he tasted, and lost all sense of pain, in the exquisite enjoyment thus conveyed to tWo palate. Beii>g a man of genius, he placed another slice upon the coals, which being conked, he innocently devoured, loofifiig sight' of his official duties, which required that it should be placed before the g () d. For a bug time he pursued this course until his sleek appearance attracted attention, and he was watched, and ihe secret discovered, lie would have been pmt to death but for the judge on hi* trial eating a steak, where upon lie was acquitted and made a Pontifex Maxiiuus (High Priest) as a toward for the benefit he had conferred on mankind. Beefsteak became a rage and there were broils going all over the empire ; for tho Romans were a little more quick-witted than the Chinese; who daemed it necessary to burn down a house to roast a pig. It wassa blessed (lay fdr mortals when the priest burnt his fingers. [From the Quitman Banner From Jimpsey A. Hunter.

Hydrophobia is a subject that is excilifig discussion in the press. Wc find a gener al concurrence in the opinion that it is a disease of very iare occurrence, even among d*>gs. Yet it is auuuallv the sub jeot of as much alarm and uneasiness as if it was one of tho commonest and most pre valent ills that flesh is heir lo. —How rare it is, every one may judge if he will ask himself how many authentic cases he ha» ever known within the sphere of Iris own personal information. You will not often find a man, even.armfhg physicians of the longest practice who wiH say he lias s«en a case of hydrophobia, dliose that are le— ported in thh newspapers are often unfound ed on accurate examination iuto them. Nothing is more readily taken on trust than a case of hydrophobia. If the discus sion of the subject shall, lead to its more careful consideration ; if physicians will trace back the apparent symptoms of the true caus6 ; it the effect of imagination, so potent iu many cases, can bo discriminated from the real effects of a dug bile—then we think that hydrophobia, now admitted to be very tare, wilt become still rarer, and perhaps cease io disquiet the publie mind, which is now annually pertubed at a seaspn when all well informed.people know there is ccitaiuly no greater danger than at any other lime ia the year.— Philadelphia Age, « There is Room at tho Top.

He says that he had repaired to tbe banks of a small stream for the pur. pose of securing a email fxv for breakfast. His attention was soon attracted by a wa ter snake lying a few feet below him, in the edge of the water, with his head rest ing on the bank. He had hooked a young, alligator once by patting a small fish on his hook aud playing it on the top of the water, and he might hook the snake in the same way. Cutting a small piece fiom a fish and bating jris book, with It, he began to play it slowly aronnd the snake’s bead. He gave evident signs of interest in the bait ronnd him, but made no move. Soon, by accident, the piece of fish touched the back of his bead. His snakesbip took this as an insult and showed his resentment by • snapping at it furiously, and after three or four efforts caught in his mouth. Tbe gentleman tightened, the line, and his astonished snabeshipdiscovered that be wa3 sold. After performing diverse evolutions, with tbe hope of either running or fighting bis way out ot tho scrape, b.e acknowU edged that, although his great ancestor had been too much for tho woman, the son of the woman had‘now become too much for him, and gracefully submitted to be .lifted on the buuk and have his head bruised. The queer antics of the first had uow at\ traded a second to the spot, and rebaiting his .hook with a piece of fish, the angler let it down gently till it touched his head as he fay tipon the Jhia bead a little elevated. Soon as the lioolf' touched him he seized it, and quickly found iiimself by the side of bis companiou. In less than half an hour he had caught four—all that he could find. or.e of them got loose af ter being drawn to land anl got back into the water, but he readily bit at the hook the second time, and was caught again. On ‘a good day for snakes' tbe geullematt thinks he would catch them faster than some men could unhook them. The True Idea. —The Now York Ex**, press, a Democratic paper of great ability t in a well-timed article discussing the lie* ing issues of the day very appropriately says : 4 Thp real 'new departure’ is to be from despotism and faction to the .recognized lights of men aud of the States.—There will, under Democratic rule, again be less taxtvDou and more accountability ; less military government and more civil authori* ty, less usurpation by the Executive over the Federal Judiciary and Congresft, and a clearer record cf and respect for the rights of bach department of Government, as laid down in the written law for tbs contrql of each of these departments. If we never again see the blessings of a free govern ment, as it existed from George Washing ten to the commencement of the civil war* w ft may at least hope to save wflat is left us-in the Constitution of our fathers, des* pile, the innovations which now distinguish and disfigure tbe admiuistation of law. A Much Married Man. —Hero is an ao« count from an exchange of a much married man who had a very lively run of luck : .‘We have frequently beard of men who had ill-luck in marriage ; but Thomas Francis, of Albany, has been particularly unfortunate iu that relation.—His first wife killed herself 54 years ago ; nine' years after this his second spouse ran away from him, and died of destitution in Illinois ; six years later, his third consort drowned. Iu 1858 his fourth helpmate was killed, and hff having been convicted of the-murder was sent*to prison for life but pardoned out.— In another decade tbe filth partner of his bosom mysteriously disappeared , and very recently the sixtli idol of his soul aougbt peace and oblivion by hanging herself to the bed post.
