What the Asiatics have Done. The following passage is quoted from Doctor Draper’s “Human Physiology,’’ soon to be issued by a New York publishing house: In Europe the career of improvement isin the society; in Asia it isin the indvidual—the unknown, starving, Uliterate, but strong-willed soldier of to-day, is the pasha, the emperor, the caliph to-morrow. The castes of India form but a trifling exception to the fact that, in the midst of a universal Nate oe pr the primest democratic element is concealed, for the career is open to talent. Through this, Asia has asserted her superiority again and again. Europe has never produced a great lawgiver. Asia has produced many. Generations of three hundred millions of men have followed the maximis of Confucius for more than two thousand years; three hundred millions are the followers of Mohammed. The faiths which govern the daily life of two thirds of the human race may well be an awful spectacle to us—-the more awful because we know that they are delusion. The only approach to these great results in the Western continent is in the supremacy of the Italian Church, But Rome owed the origin of her system to the Asiatic missionaries; nor was it the complete work of the hand of one man—it was the offspring of centuries, the joint issue of a long line of illustrious sacradotal kings. In military life the highest qualities shine forth. If the talent for command and the capacity of a statesman are to be measured by the grandeur of undertakings and their success, it still remains for Europe to produce a soldier the equal of Jenghis Kahn, and a king like Tamerlane. These great captains held almost all Asia in their iron grasp. The opinions we commonly hold respecting these illustrious men have come to us through perverted channels, Such prodigious successes as theirs imply the highest intellectual powers. Their true character appears when we compare them with their European contemporaries, At the same time that Charles VII of France was mystifying his people with the imposture of Jean of Arc, aud Henry VI of England, was engaged in the burning of necromancers who had attempted his life by melting an enchanted wax image before the fire, Ulug Beg, the grandson of Tamerlane, was determining with precision the latitude of Samarcand, his capital, with a mural quadrant of 180 feot.radius, and making a catalogue of the stars from his own observations, . which more than two hundred years subsequent. ly, was printed at the University of Oxford! If the European wishes to know how much he owes to the Asiatic, he has only to.cast a glance at an hour of his daily life. The clock which summons him from his bed in the.morning was the invention of the East, as wereelapsydras and sun dials. he prayer for his daily bread, which he has said from his infancy, first rose from the side of a Syrian mountain.

When he talks about coffee and alcohol, he is using Arabic words, A thousand years before it had occurred to him to enact laws of restriction on the use of intoxicating drinks, the Prophet of Mecca had accomplished the same object ; and what is more to the purpose has compelled to this day, all Asia and Africa to obey it, We gratify our taste for personal ornament in the way the Orientals have taught ug, with pearls, rubies, sapphires, diamonds. Of public amusements it is the same ; the most magnificent fireworks are at this day to be seen in India and China. And as regards the pastimes of private life, Europe has produced no invention which can rival the game of chess. We have no bydraulic constructions as great as the Chinese canal; no fortifications as extensive as the Chinese wall. We have no artesian wells that can at all approach in depth some of theirs; we . have not yet resorted to thé practice of obtaining coal gas from the interior of the earth; they have borings for that purpose more than 3000 feet deep. Similar observations may be made if we examine the Asiatic contributions to science. While the learned of Europe were forbidding asa heresy, the doctrine of the globular figure of the earth, the Calyph Al Maimon was measuring the length of a degree along the shore of the Red Sea. He and his successors repeatedly determined the obliquity of the ecliptic. A Saracen constructed the first table of signs, another expiained the nature of twilight and showed the importance of allowing for atmospheric refraction in astronomical observations, Algebraitself was invented and vrought into Europe by the Mahomedans, who gave it the name it bears. The same may be saidof chemistry. tis needless to pursue these statements, for whoever will take the trouble to look into the history of any branch of science existing in the 17th century, will find how deep are its obligations to Asia. 1 shall therefore, add but one fact more, the invention of figures of arithmetic, which in reality gave birth to that science, and laid knowledge and commerce equally under obligations. For its simplicity, beauty and universality, this invention alone is enough to command the gratitude of the human race. The manner of using the cipher, and placing the figures, is one of the happiest suggestions of the genius of man. Smarr Boy.—When Lieut. Gov. Patterson was. Speaker of the Legislature of one of our States, some dozen boys presented themselves for the place of messenger, as is usual at the opening of the House. He inquired their names and into their condition, in order that he might make the proper selection. He came, in the course of his examination, toa small boy, about ten years old, a bright looking lad. “Well. Sir,” said he, ‘what is your name ?”’ “John Hancock, sir,’’ replied the boy. “What!’? said the Speaker, “you are not the one that signed the Declaration of Independence, are you?” “No Bir,” replied the lad, stretching himself to his utmost proportions, “but 1 would if J bad been there,”’ “You can be one of the messengers,’’ said the Speaker, Srmz Avyoruer Canpipate.—Some of the political, theatrical and personal friends of Hugh F.

Ruloff, a German physician, was convicted at . Oswego, N. Y., recently, of the murder of his child. The circumstances of the case are bricfl as follows: Twelve years ago Ruloff, with his wife and child, settled at Lansing N. Y., and the next year his wife and child were missing, although she had previously announced that she was going on a visit. When a few months had passed, and she did notreturn, suspicion was aroused, and Ruloff was arrested. A variety of circumstances tended to fasten the suspicion of murder upon him, but it could not be proved, and he was tried for the abduction of his wife, convicted and sentenced to ten yearsin the) State Prison. This term recently expired, and . on his release Ruloff was _re-arrested, charged . with the murder of his child, and although there there is no positive proof that he killed his wife or child, he has been convicted of wilful murder. The defense was conducted by Joshua A. Spencer, and the prosecution by Daniel 8. Dickinson. Sentence was postponed, in order that ease might be presented to the next General erm, Deatn From Hyprornonia—A young man named Henry Brotzman, died recently at Lehigh Gap, Pa., from the shocking effeets of hydrophobia, He was bitten about six weeks pre. vious, by a dog, as were also several head of cattle, and a horse. Medical aid was summoned at the time, and a supposed cure effected. <A} few weeks later the horse died from hydrophobia, and the young man assisted in skinning him. By some means he inflicted a wound on . one of his fingers during the operation, through which the virulent blood of the horse commingled with his own and he was repoisoned, and the terrible symptoms soon after manifested themselves. Medical aid was again called in, but nothing could save the unfortunate young man. Dr. Kane.—Dr. Kane has been received with . much favor in England. Mitchell’s Maritime Register, published in London, concludes an article in relation to his services as follows : “We quite agree in the justice and policy of conferring public honor on deeds of high enterprise, It is such men as Dr, Kane—modest, heroic, and skilful—whom a nation delights to Pn ae En NR SORTS WHOLE NO. 170. From tuk Rocky Mountarxs.—A letter in the St. Louis Republican states that the Arickasee Indians, about two hundred and fifty miles above Fort Pierre, suffered severely from varioloid last summer, upwards of fifty having died from the disease. At last accounts the e ic had abated. Buffalo are very abundant, and there will be no lack of food among the Indians this winter, while the presents from the United States will render all the tribes very comfortable. Rev. Mr. McKey of Chester god Pa., who visited the Blackfeet to test the feasibility of a mission among them, met with so much encouragement that he intends returning in the spring to establish a permanent mission. Scarcity oF Lavorers.—The Mobile Tribune states that a great scarcity of laborers prevails among the steamers connecting with that port. Some have to leave with not more than half the number of men they require. Fifty and_ sixty dollars per month and found, are the ordinary rates that they have been paid, and men are now refusing to work less than $75 per month. Mr. Crirrenven, of Kentucky, since the death of Mr. Clayton, is now the “father’’ of the U. 8. Senate—having entered it in 1817. He has not, however, exhibited any great fondness for tha public councils, having Ei four times elected, and twice resigned his seat, though to be returned again, James A. Pearce, of Md., entered the Senate in ’43, Lewis Cass in 45, None of the other present Senators date back beyond 745. Contisions at Sea.—According to the New York Mirror, Capt. West, of the new steamer Adriatic, has adopted a new method to prevent collisions at sea. The Mirror says: “Heretofore lights have been displayed on vessels at sea to tell their whereabouts; but Capt. West, of the new steamer Adriatic, has reversed the old-fashioned method by the introduction of a powerful Calcium light, which is to be placed in the top of the forward wheel-house so that he can see in every direction at a distance of ten miles. Instead of depending upon others to see him, to avoid a collision at sea, he intends to keep a sharp look out himself. Exrraorpryary SureicaL Orwration,—Dre.

No man better deserves, such an honor, No man has more skilfully conducted hazardous undertakings to a successful issue, and few have of late years added more important discoveries . to our geographical stores of knowledge. On the map of Arctic researches the name of Kane will ever stand prominent in connection with Franklin and Parry, Ross, Collinson, MeClure, . Inglefield, and the other eminent explorers who have distinguished themselves in the field of the . Arctic discovery.

Tue MaRRtAGE or Senator Dovaras.—We make the following extracts froma gossiping letter by the Washington correspondent of the . New York Hvening Fost, concerning the marriage of Senator Douglas to Miss Ada Cutts, a ance of Mariners.” Sincutan Dearu.—Dr, James N. Bogardus, died in New York city, Nov, 23d, under very curious cireumstances, He had for two years been engaged to Miss Isabella Hamilton, and on two occasions their nuptuals were postponed by the death of friends. A week previous to his death, Dr. Bogardus went to New York and put up at the Girard House, He was there taken sick; and by the advice of a physician the young lady was sent for. She arrived at four o’clock in the morning, and at two p. m. they were married, He then remarked that he felt so much better that he would get up, and at once proceeded to raise himself in bed; his bride, perceiving his efforts to rise, went to assist him, only to discover that he was expiring in her arms, for assistance, but before their friends could reach the room he was a corpse. A Weppine Ertpemtc.—The New York Mirror remarks : “Matrimony, just now, seems to be prevailing in this city toan alarming extent. The fashionable quarters of the town, about the middle of the week (Wednesdays and Thursdays being marrying days,) are blocked up with carriages; and bridal cards, cakes and bouquets are flying aboutas thick as snow flakes. The jewelry business, if one may, judge from the display of -. bridal presents, must be flourishing beyond precedent; and if matrimony opens the gate of Paradise, New York contains a good many happy couples about these times. One of the largest and most splendid of these nuptial festivals came off on Wednesday in Twenty-second street the bride being the only daughter of one of our wealthiest merchants; and the happy bridegroom a young and rising member of the Bar of this city. Iv is estimated that the doors of not less than one thousand carriages were opened and shut by Brown to let out and in the guests; and the jam of beauty and fashion can be better imagined than described.’’ Cuariry AMONG THE “Upper Ten,’’—We learn by the New York papers that some of the fashionable ladies of that city, have prevailed upon She instantly ran to the bell and rang . . Washington belle : . The bride was accompanied to the altar by several bridesmaids; but the Senator being a widower, went alone. Only a few of his per. sonal friends, including Gen. Shields and Senator Slidell, were present. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Byrne of the . Roman Catholic Chureh, in the religion of which the bride was educated at the Georgetown nunnery. Senator Douglas himself is not known to have decided leanings towards any religious faith, though some of his friends draw a favor. able inference, from his recent land donation to . a Baptist College in Chicago. In a matter of age and personal beauty there is a wide difference between the bridegroom and . bride. Miss Cutts is tall, elegantly formed, with a sweet oval face, large brown eyes, small Grecian forehead, around which are entwined the . heavy braids of her glossy and abundant chest‘nut hair, On her clear, peachy complexion . there isa perpetual war of roses—the red and the white—each failing to maintain a sole su. premacy. Altogether her tout ensemble, as the 'flunkeys say, fully vindicates the good taste of . the “Little Giant.’’ . MissCutts may be twenty-two years of age. . She is a contemporary and a member of the eitcle of belles, all now married off, including Adelaide Smith, Florence Greenbow and others, who once formed a great attraction at the re. ceptions and balls of Washington. Her father, James Madison Cutis, an officer in one of the departments at Washington, is a nephew of Mrs . President Madison, and enjoyed a considerable . intimacy with his unele, in whose family he re. sided. Heis a gentlemanly, quiet man, and . much liked in Washington society. . Asfor Mr. Douglas, everybody ought to be . familiar with his antecedents and appearance, . In point of years he has decidedly the advan. tage of his bride, being about twice as old. In . person he is short and stocky, a sort of truncated giant, whence his well known designation, . He hasa red, somewhat rowdyish face, large features, the nose being rather retrousse unrefined . with an expression indicating rather a rude,, nature, and an imperious energy. than any settled meanness or malignity of disposition. In Mrs. Wm. Ritchie, (formerly Mrs. Mowatt) of! truth I think him a very good natured, pleasant Richmond, Va., who has been visiting at the North for the past three months, to give one of her delightful dramatic readings in behalf of the “Seamstress and Shirtmaker’s Benevolent Association.’’ Mrs. Geo. Wood has opened her spacious residence on Fifth avenue for the occasion and tickets are to be issued at the rate of two dollars each. Mrs Ritchie will be assisted by the musical talent of several distinguished amateurs. Knicnrnoop Decuinep.—The King of Denmark has conferred upon Lieut.M.F. Maury the Cross ofa Knight of the Order of Danneberg, in recoguition of his eminent services in the cause of science. Maury has declined, it being contrary to our laws for an officer in the Navy to accept a title from any foreign potentate, Tue Semone Ixprans.—Itis said that the Seeretaries of War and Interior have concluded an important arrangement for the peaceful removal of the Seminole Indians from Florida. A delegation of Seminole Chiefs from the West of the Mississippi will be sent to Florida with presents and promises of liberal grants of land.

What the Asiatics have Done. The following passage is quoted from Doctor Draper’s “Human Physiology,’’ soon to be issued by a New York publishing house: In Europe the career of improvement isin the society; in Asia it isin the indvidual—the unknown, starving, Uliterate, but strong-willed soldier of to-day, is the pasha, the emperor, the caliph to-morrow. The castes of India form but a trifling exception to the fact that, in the midst of a universal Nate oe pr the primest democratic element is concealed, for the career is open to talent. Through this, Asia has asserted her superiority again and again. Europe has never produced a great lawgiver. Asia has produced many. Generations of three hundred millions of men have followed the maximis of Confucius for more than two thousand years; three hundred millions are the followers of Mohammed. The faiths which govern the daily life of two thirds of the human race may well be an awful spectacle to us—-the more awful because we know that they are delusion. The only approach to these great results in the Western continent is in the supremacy of the Italian Church, But Rome owed the origin of her system to the Asiatic missionaries; nor was it the complete work of the hand of one man—it was the offspring of centuries, the joint issue of a long line of illustrious sacradotal kings. In military life the highest qualities shine forth. If the talent for command and the capacity of a statesman are to be measured by the grandeur of undertakings and their success, it still remains for Europe to produce a soldier the equal of Jenghis Kahn, and a king like Tamerlane. These great captains held almost all Asia in their iron grasp. The opinions we commonly hold respecting these illustrious men have come to us through perverted channels, Such prodigious successes as theirs imply the highest intellectual powers. Their true character appears when we compare them with their European contemporaries, At the same time that Charles VII of France was mystifying his people with the imposture of Jean of Arc, aud Henry VI of England, was engaged in the burning of necromancers who had attempted his life by melting an enchanted wax image before the fire, Ulug Beg, the grandson of Tamerlane, was determining with precision the latitude of Samarcand, his capital, with a mural quadrant of 180 feot.radius, and making a catalogue of the stars from his own observations, . which more than two hundred years subsequent. ly, was printed at the University of Oxford! If the European wishes to know how much he owes to the Asiatic, he has only to.cast a glance at an hour of his daily life.

When he talks about coffee and alcohol, he is using Arabic words, A thousand years before it had occurred to him to enact laws of restriction on the use of intoxicating drinks, the Prophet of Mecca had accomplished the same object ; and what is more to the purpose has compelled to this day, all Asia and Africa to obey it, We gratify our taste for personal ornament in the way the Orientals have taught ug, with pearls, rubies, sapphires, diamonds. Of public amusements it is the same ; the most magnificent fireworks are at this day to be seen in India and China. And as regards the pastimes of private life, Europe has produced no invention which can rival the game of chess. We have no bydraulic constructions as great as the Chinese canal; no fortifications as extensive as the Chinese wall. We have no artesian wells that can at all approach in depth some of theirs; we . have not yet resorted to thé practice of obtaining coal gas from the interior of the earth; they have borings for that purpose more than 3000 feet deep. Similar observations may be made if we examine the Asiatic contributions to science. While the learned of Europe were forbidding asa heresy, the doctrine of the globular figure of the earth, the Calyph Al Maimon was measuring the length of a degree along the shore of the Red Sea. He and his successors repeatedly determined the obliquity of the ecliptic. A Saracen constructed the first table of signs, another expiained the nature of twilight and showed the importance of allowing for atmospheric refraction in astronomical observations, Algebraitself was invented and vrought into Europe by the Mahomedans, who gave it the name it bears. The same may be saidof chemistry. tis needless to pursue these statements, for whoever will take the trouble to look into the history of any branch of science existing in the 17th century, will find how deep are its obligations to Asia. 1 shall therefore, add but one fact more, the invention of figures of arithmetic, which in reality gave birth to that science, and laid knowledge and commerce equally under obligations. For its simplicity, beauty and universality, this invention alone is enough to command the gratitude of the human race. The manner of using the cipher, and placing the figures, is one of the happiest suggestions of the genius of man. Smarr Boy.—When Lieut. Gov. Patterson was. Speaker of the Legislature of one of our States, some dozen boys presented themselves for the place of messenger, as is usual at the opening of the House. He inquired their names and into their condition, in order that he might make the proper selection. He came, in the course of his examination, toa small boy, about ten years old, a bright looking lad. “Well. Sir,” said he, ‘what is your name ?”’ “John Hancock, sir,’’ replied the boy. “What!’? said the Speaker, “you are not the one that signed the Declaration of Independence, are you?” “No Bir,” replied the lad, stretching himself to his utmost proportions, “but 1 would if J bad been there,”’ “You can be one of the messengers,’’ said the Speaker, Srmz Avyoruer Canpipate.—Some of the political, theatrical and personal friends of Hugh F.

Ruloff, a German physician, was convicted at . Oswego, N. Y., recently, of the murder of his child. The circumstances of the case are bricfl as follows: Twelve years ago Ruloff, with his wife and child, settled at Lansing N. Y., and the next year his wife and child were missing, although she had previously announced that she was going on a visit. When a few months had passed, and she did notreturn, suspicion was aroused, and Ruloff was arrested. A variety of circumstances tended to fasten the suspicion of murder upon him, but it could not be proved, and he was tried for the abduction of his wife, convicted and sentenced to ten yearsin the) State Prison. This term recently expired, and . on his release Ruloff was _re-arrested, charged . with the murder of his child, and although there there is no positive proof that he killed his wife or child, he has been convicted of wilful murder. The defense was conducted by Joshua A. Spencer, and the prosecution by Daniel 8. Dickinson. Sentence was postponed, in order that ease might be presented to the next General erm, Deatn From Hyprornonia—A young man named Henry Brotzman, died recently at Lehigh Gap, Pa., from the shocking effeets of hydrophobia, He was bitten about six weeks pre. vious, by a dog, as were also several head of cattle, and a horse. Medical aid was summoned at the time, and a supposed cure effected. <A} few weeks later the horse died from hydrophobia, and the young man assisted in skinning him. By some means he inflicted a wound on . one of his fingers during the operation, through which the virulent blood of the horse commingled with his own and he was repoisoned, and the terrible symptoms soon after manifested themselves. Medical aid was again called in, but nothing could save the unfortunate young man. Dr. Kane.—Dr. Kane has been received with . much favor in England. Mitchell’s Maritime Register, published in London, concludes an article in relation to his services as follows : “We quite agree in the justice and policy of conferring public honor on deeds of high enterprise, It is such men as Dr, Kane—modest, heroic, and skilful—whom a nation delights to Pn ae En NR SORTS WHOLE NO. 170. From tuk Rocky Mountarxs.—A letter in the St. Louis Republican states that the Arickasee Indians, about two hundred and fifty miles above Fort Pierre, suffered severely from varioloid last summer, upwards of fifty having died from the disease. At last accounts the e ic had abated. Buffalo are very abundant, and there will be no lack of food among the Indians this winter, while the presents from the United States will render all the tribes very comfortable. Rev. Mr. McKey of Chester god Pa., who visited the Blackfeet to test the feasibility of a mission among them, met with so much encouragement that he intends returning in the spring to establish a permanent mission. Scarcity oF Lavorers.—The Mobile Tribune states that a great scarcity of laborers prevails among the steamers connecting with that port. Some have to leave with not more than half the number of men they require. Fifty and_ sixty dollars per month and found, are the ordinary rates that they have been paid, and men are now refusing to work less than $75 per month. Mr. Crirrenven, of Kentucky, since the death of Mr. Clayton, is now the “father’’ of the U. 8. Senate—having entered it in 1817.

Pearce, of Md., entered the Senate in ’43, Lewis Cass in 45, None of the other present Senators date back beyond 745. Contisions at Sea.—According to the New York Mirror, Capt. West, of the new steamer Adriatic, has adopted a new method to prevent collisions at sea. The Mirror says: “Heretofore lights have been displayed on vessels at sea to tell their whereabouts; but Capt. West, of the new steamer Adriatic, has reversed the old-fashioned method by the introduction of a powerful Calcium light, which is to be placed in the top of the forward wheel-house so that he can see in every direction at a distance of ten miles. Instead of depending upon others to see him, to avoid a collision at sea, he intends to keep a sharp look out himself. Exrraorpryary SureicaL Orwration,—Dre.

Tue MaRRtAGE or Senator Dovaras.—We make the following extracts froma gossiping letter by the Washington correspondent of the . New York Hvening Fost, concerning the marriage of Senator Douglas to Miss Ada Cutts, a ance of Mariners.” Sincutan Dearu.—Dr, James N. Bogardus, died in New York city, Nov, 23d, under very curious cireumstances, He had for two years been engaged to Miss Isabella Hamilton, and on two occasions their nuptuals were postponed by the death of friends. A week previous to his death, Dr. Bogardus went to New York and put up at the Girard House, He was there taken sick; and by the advice of a physician the young lady was sent for. She arrived at four o’clock in the morning, and at two p. m. they were married, He then remarked that he felt so much better that he would get up, and at once proceeded to raise himself in bed; his bride, perceiving his efforts to rise, went to assist him, only to discover that he was expiring in her arms, for assistance, but before their friends could reach the room he was a corpse. A Weppine Ertpemtc.—The New York Mirror remarks : “Matrimony, just now, seems to be prevailing in this city toan alarming extent. The fashionable quarters of the town, about the middle of the week (Wednesdays and Thursdays being marrying days,) are blocked up with carriages; and bridal cards, cakes and bouquets are flying aboutas thick as snow flakes. The jewelry business, if one may, judge from the display of -. bridal presents, must be flourishing beyond precedent; and if matrimony opens the gate of Paradise, New York contains a good many happy couples about these times. One of the largest and most splendid of these nuptial festivals came off on Wednesday in Twenty-second street the bride being the only daughter of one of our wealthiest merchants; and the happy bridegroom a young and rising member of the Bar of this city. Iv is estimated that the doors of not less than one thousand carriages were opened and shut by Brown to let out and in the guests; and the jam of beauty and fashion can be better imagined than described.’’ Cuariry AMONG THE “Upper Ten,’’—We learn by the New York papers that some of the fashionable ladies of that city, have prevailed upon She instantly ran to the bell and rang . . Washington belle : . The bride was accompanied to the altar by several bridesmaids; but the Senator being a widower, went alone. Only a few of his per. sonal friends, including Gen. Shields and Senator Slidell, were present. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Byrne of the . Roman Catholic Chureh, in the religion of which the bride was educated at the Georgetown nunnery. Senator Douglas himself is not known to have decided leanings towards any religious faith, though some of his friends draw a favor. able inference, from his recent land donation to . a Baptist College in Chicago. In a matter of age and personal beauty there is a wide difference between the bridegroom and . bride. Miss Cutts is tall, elegantly formed, with a sweet oval face, large brown eyes, small Grecian forehead, around which are entwined the . heavy braids of her glossy and abundant chest‘nut hair, On her clear, peachy complexion . there isa perpetual war of roses—the red and the white—each failing to maintain a sole su. premacy. Altogether her tout ensemble, as the 'flunkeys say, fully vindicates the good taste of . the “Little Giant.’’ . MissCutts may be twenty-two years of age. . She is a contemporary and a member of the eitcle of belles, all now married off, including Adelaide Smith, Florence Greenbow and others, who once formed a great attraction at the re. ceptions and balls of Washington. Her father, James Madison Cutis, an officer in one of the departments at Washington, is a nephew of Mrs . President Madison, and enjoyed a considerable . intimacy with his unele, in whose family he re. sided. Heis a gentlemanly, quiet man, and . much liked in Washington society. . Asfor Mr. Douglas, everybody ought to be . familiar with his antecedents and appearance, . In point of years he has decidedly the advan. tage of his bride, being about twice as old. In . person he is short and stocky, a sort of truncated giant, whence his well known designation, . He hasa red, somewhat rowdyish face, large features, the nose being rather retrousse unrefined . with an expression indicating rather a rude,, nature, and an imperious energy. than any settled meanness or malignity of disposition.
