The new ordinance 'forbids "the importation of pigs, pork, bacon, lard and sausages of all kinds." H. A. P. Carter, the Hawalian diplo. mat, who visted this country to try a colonization movement among the sur plus negroes at the South, says that-the growing Jndustries of the section male it evident that there would soon be am pledemand for all resident labor. Dr. Frank Hainilton, one of the con sulting physicians in Garfield's case, now asserts that tne unfortunate Pr2Adient was dosed to death with morphine by directions of Dr. Bliss after the use of the drug had been prohibited by a coun cil of the -medical attendants. It is pro'bable that Bliss will sue Hamilton for libel'and then the evidence will be produced. .Texas is very liberally supplied with mniane people, there being at present two thousand such persons under the care of the State, and a large number for whom there are no accommodations. It is proposed to spend $500,000 next year-putting up more buildings for th a.ccommodation of the Insane. The State has plenty of mopney,. there being $1,000,000 in the Treasury. A new fadion to signalize is that of MpoQ7ghaped bonnets. They do not starfd ip straight above the head, as did t4hat of a similar form which were in vogue some fifteen years ago, but the point projects over the wearer's brow. So fair they are in dark velvet, with the fronts lined with pale colored satin. Another new fashion is the custom, Edopted by young society men, of carry. 'lng canes to the opera--not little deli cate switches, but good sized, solid, sub stantial sticks. Soldiers in foreign lands are easily ex oited in battle. ?t is only the American warrior who keeps cool. "Xhere were 27,574 muskets picked Iip on the battle fleld'at Gettysburg and turned into the Washington arsenal, of which about 24,000 were loaded. A bout one-half of this number- contained two charges each, and the remainder one charge. The largest number of cartridges found in any - one piece was twenty-three. In some cases the 'paper of the cartridues was unbroken, and in others the powder was uppermost. Atlanta Constitution: Tom Nunan, local pressenger agent for the Memphis and Charleston road, passed through the city yesterday with sixty-seven converts to the Mormon faith who are going to * Utah. The entire party were residents of Habersham county, and were con verted in that county and 'joined~ the church before leavingr. Of the sixty seven only seventeen were men. Many -of the women were mere children. A woman had with her three babies, trir lets, which she carried in a basket.

The expedition will not be unattended with dangers, and the result of it will be of great in terest to the thousands interested in the "Land of Flowers" and its development, Starting from the source of the Kissi moe river, the expedition will descend t etream into the celebrated L~ake * Okeechobee, lying in the center of the Peninsula.

LiuxiA WarrmIG says that in Btn theatres "it is almost as usual to see twC ladies come in together as it is a gentle man and a lady." THN fact is now reoaled that Gover. nor-eleot Pattison was formerly a base ball player, having been a member of the Harry Clay Base Ball Club of Phila delphia in 1868. Miss ANNA DIoEIeoN denies the report that she has withdrawn from the stage. She. ays she is under engagement to lec ture and read plays, and to aot in the Western States. Ma. Taumxow WEw UABNs says no body knows the exact value of his grandfather's estate, hqt that it Is about $1,000,000, and is chiefly in ra4iroad and Government bonds. A BArTist minister of Marysville, Tennessee, recently declared that he had been restored to life after being dead three days, his return to the world being for the purpose of evangelizing it. Iis work, however, was stopped, because he undertook it naked, and he is now in an insane asylum. IT ms said therer is living in Oumber land, Maryland, a soldier who was wounde-I in the battle of Gettysburg, and the wound, in healing up, shortened his right leg so that, he became perma nently lame. Recently he had bis left leg shattered at the thigh, and when he recovered it was found that his left leg was also shortened so as to be on a par with the other, and he now walks with. out limping. ExPEImENTs recently made in Ger many promise to overopme the difficulty heretofore experienced in the use of the telephone for long distances where the wires are laid und'arground. The detads of the new scheme are not made public, but it was found on the underground cable that runs from.Cologne to Elber feld that messages were safely conveyed a distance of more than thirty miles, and this in spite of the fact that the rest of the wires in the cable were used at the same time for other purposes. A PAnis actress r.vers that each per fume hua its speoial moral and physics qualities, which-so far as her observa. i ions have gone -she states as follows : \iutk predisposs t'o sefnsiility and iaubility ; roso, to auacity, avarice aid pride. ; geranium, to tendernezs; idlet, to myicim and piet y ; benzoin, tO d1reams., poetry and inconsancy ; mnini mad verbona,, to a taito for the beaiutjful arts ; o~unphor,- to stupidlity and bru talit.v .

Emil Frey, the Swiss Minister, was in the House res taurant, Washington, with Gen. B. D. Mussey when General Longstreet en tered. Col. Frey turned to Gen. Mus sey and asked who that gentleman was, and npon boing told requested an Intro inotion, saying by way of explanation that General Longstreet took him pris oner at Gettysburg, since which tfmne he had not seen him. Thereupon the two vetetans, once enemies,wore introduced. wvarmly shook hands and spent an hour or so in pleasant conversation. Tare Dablin (Ireland) Freeman's .Jour nal admits that the spirit of Nihiliam seems to actuate a desperate organisation which has its headquarters in Dublin. English newspapers compare the state of tne country to that of Russia. A leading lrnaIIl says: "Ireland has outgrown its existing system of government, and, un able itself to change it, is writhing con vulsively in the shackles imposed upon it. The servants of the Govern~ment live in terrgr of their lives, and are protected from assassination solely by body-guards >f police and soldiers. It is exactly the - amne state of afflairs as exists in Russia, Lnd it is marvelous that our statesmen .vill not recognize it." Own~to to the boldnoss of train robbers nd the number of bad or suspicious 3haracters infesting the towns, and -ountry in the northern part of Texas, he railroad companies are taking unusual g)r~eautions to protect their trains. In future all passenger and express trains on the Texas and Pacific road will carry a strong force of State Rangers as a guard between Fort Worth and El Paso, and other roads will probably pursue he same course. No capture has yet been made of the men who attaeked tt train on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road a few days ago, but It Is. pretty well established that one of them was mortally wounded in the figt god died next day near Cleburn, and was-secretly Pbusied by his comrades.

He also suggests as a remedy to overcome the complaint, because the Judge who presides In-tne a District also sits in the Supreme Court a when his decision is reviewed, that either o an additional Judge be appointed in the til Territories, or that a Circuit Judge be hl appoined as in th States. Tin printing of Thurlow Weed's death- ] bed statements in the New York papers i recently concerning the disappearance t of William Morgan after the publication of his pamphlet entitled "Free Masonry I Exposed and Explained," in 1820, has orgated an astonishing revival of all the t incidents connected with that re vse rious case. Prominent Masons through- a out the country have been interviewed, t and all emphatically denounce the acou- L sation of tte complicity of their Order in 1 Morgan's death, both ftdase and ridieu lous. Morgan's pamphlet was issued during a heated political canvass in which Mr..Weed was waging a bitter and Lnoessant war against the . Masonic Order,and Morgan's misterious disappear I anoe was immediately seized upon by Mr. Weed and extensively used in the u anti Masonio campaign. Whatever ( may have been the fate of Morgan, it is 0 doubtful if the deep mystery surround ing his disappelarance will ever be satis- t factorily solved. - Tim Cincinnati College of Music have announced the third of their grand op- b eratic feats to take place in the Music a Hall of that city, on January 29, 30 t: and 31, and February 1, 2 and 3, 1883- t embracing eight distinct performances. ' The orchestra engaged for the occasion v will number one hundred pieces, and 0 over two hundred persons will partici- n pate in the mas chorns. The combina.- a tion of musical celebrities will be head b ed by the renowned Adelina Patti. The annual recurrence of these Opera Festi- t, vals is hailed with the gregtest interest t by the people of Cincinnati and contig. v uous country, and by such enterprise as-5 the above has Cincinnati achieved the reputation of being the Paris of America. f I'he operas to be rendered at the ap- ( proaching Festival will embrace the fol lowing: L'Africaine, Semiramide, Don Giovani, Mignon, William Tell, Aide, Romeo and Juliet,. LeNozze Di Figaro, 11 Lucrotia Borgia, Le Prophete, La Fa. li vorita and Lohengrin. b b TnERIE is quite a stir iu the higher cir- f Aes of society at Detroit, Michgan, on a iccount of anew departure by the Sketoh- co ing Club, of that city, an organization Ir composed of young society people. A el day or two ago an aidvertisement ap- a peared .in one of the local newspapers, a reading: "Wanted-Models--Male and vi female." There weronumerous responses, tg but few being males and about twenty live femnales. The person selected as the j< tirst model is described as a young lady u of rare charms, a beautiful face and a splendid physique. She is reported to a' dwell in one of the best quarters of the It town, and said to be highly educated. si Vhe conditions upon which she consent- o ed to become a model were that her name a should not be disclosed and that she a 4hould be allowed to wear a veil at pos ings. Leading members of the club de- j, fend their action by asserting that there s can be no harm in studying from the e aude as long as the matter is properly p oonducted. It remains to be seen whether tJ the use of a female model will be toler-e ..otd in staid old Detroit. ,h Ekating Costumes. b It may be a tritle unseasonable to ti speak of skating just yet, but for young c ladies who indul~go in that pleasant pa.- a time, and wish to make costumes es- e pecially for skatinga, it may not be out h of place to descr be one which wilt c: serve as a model from which to fashion " others. The material is dark blue lady's c cloth, wth trimnming of deep red vol vet, il The skirt is made ratheor short and quite c full. Six inches from the bottom is a a wide band of bias volvet, and this is the ?b only ornament on the skirt. 'The i basque, or rather wa'st, is madec p Ia n v and tight-fitting, and a wide belt of vel- r vet is wvoru. The1 sleeves arc very long e and tight. and the buttons are medium I size ot cut steel.

A double row of large cut-stool buttons, ornaments the tront of the jacket, and the cuts andI p)ockets are tr-imimed in the same waiy. A sc'arf of red1 silk is worn close around the throat wit~h the ends tucked in the C jacket in front, form ug a full puft. The a cap is a Tam O'Shanter of red velvet with a silk tassel hanging from the top, I and is worn forward and lust tipped a mere trille to ono side. giving a Jannt andl pretty appearance. Long mittens C knit of sik the same shade as' the vel vet, with fancy backs, are worn, the wrists drawn high under the sleeves of I the ja-:ket anti over the sleores of the dress. TIhe whole costume is exceed ingly neat and pretty, with no lon g I endls flying to impede the progress and get In other people's way.

A very stiange case of a little girl, rour years old, suffer from nar Dolepsy, has been repo in this city.

A few weeks ago Dr. Robert E. Por ter was call to see the child in question t her home, on Portland avenue. She tirst developed symptoms about a year %go, a ter an attack of typhoid fever.

These attacks of leep gradually increased in severity mnd frequency until she used to have at - least twenty a day, and often as many s five or six at the table while eating. The attacks lasted for about a minute, but they were very profound, and it was impossible to wake her until the spell passed away.

A t few montas ago she began to have ou irams in addit on to the narcole sy ' and becaine very destructive, hav: thl g a desre to kill everything Th she came in contact with, and it re- CI cuired great care to restrain her.

The I'ttle girl was dt put under treatment for the d'sease, i and is now per.ectly recovered, not C h-tv ng had an attack for two weeks. a The itreaks that have been produced in a cases of this k nd are very our'ous and r< sometimes amusing. A coupleof years u ago there was a man alloted with P uaroolepsy in the city, whose attacks of c sleep used to last -from two to three days, and came cn once or twice a h month. Some time ago a we'l-known b sporting man. who was a narooleptic, U lived here and was a source of much 1 curlosty. Occasionally he would as- d tonish bis friends by going to sleep at e the bar while taking a drink and re. main perfectly unconscious for a few moments, when he would wake up and take his drink, perfectly unconscious of any ibterruption. He ereated oonsideratle excitement one night at a gentleman's house by 81 falling sound asleep while just in the d act of receiving an introduction to a i young lady, much to her discomfiture i and hisfriend'q amusement.
