Brigham Young the llonnon
A cotemporary says :
An eloquent man is Brighara Young,
though hia oratory is rather novel and belongs
to himself alone. Common sense and cant,
scriptural allusions and rowdyism are curi
ously blended in bis style, but in a direct
vigorous and manly manner, which reminds
us exceedingly of Cobbetts'J prose in Lis sav
cge moments. An nmusing instance of this
combination comes vividly before our memo
ry. A man, named Gideon, had the bold
ness to question Young' perogative as Pro
phet of the Lord. The Governor denounced
him somewhat in the following style, and it is
a fair specimen of his ordinary orations :
Who is this Gideon who has come among

"Never beard of his gettin' no corn nor

(With considerable excitement, and in

The Epidemio at the National.
A Philadelphia correspondent of a New
York papers says :
' Quite unexpectedly this morning I found
the name of our friend, the Hon II. J. Wal
ker, upon the books of the Girard House.
Upon visiting his room we found him ill, in
bed, suffering from "the disease contracted
some three weeks ago in Washington, and
which, at the National Hotel, has assumed
the nature and form of an epidemic. Mr.
Walker attended for two nights upon a sick
friend, a guest at the National, partook of
several meals there, and has suffered iu com
mon with most of the guests of the establish
ment. Mr. Buchanan was also attacked with
the same disorder, while at the National, and
has not yet entirely recovered his usual ro
bust bealth and physical condition."
This epidemic was of rather strange origin,
and embraced iu its devastation all the boar
ders at th? National, including, tho President
elect, Hon J. Glancy Jones and Hon. llobt.
J. Walker. It was caused by the proprie
tors of tho aforcsai ! hotel poisoning the rats
(the four legged ones) that infest the premi
ses, who immediately took to the nearest wa
ter. On examining the large tank from
which the aqueous fluid used in the hotel is
drawn, the bottom was found to be black with
the carcases of arsenic poisoned rats ! Hence
