The members of the Committes express a great de- sire :o come to an agreement with the Govern- ment. The Monarchists no longer insist on confining the action of the Committes to the relations of the Executive and the Legislature. - The dismissal of the Mavor of Nantes pro- motes thia conciliatory spirit. The Committee alresdy approve of the theory of a second Chamber, but await the Govern- ment's plan_ for its organization, before pro- ceeding to discuss the matter in detail. ‘The first subject taken in hand by the Committee will be the suspensory veto power. The Assembly to-day unsnimously voted the mpgl!xjes' for 1873, as estimated in the budget of the Minister of Finance. the members of the Municipal Govern- ment of Nantes have resigned in consequence of the removal of the Mayor. The Paris press generally regard the step taken by President Thiers in this matter as an indication of a Conservative policy. The Radi- cal papers do not aitempt to conceal their indig- nation. ‘The Minister of Interior is consulting with the Prefect 2nd Mayor of Lyons as to the expediency of suppreesing the exitting Municipal Govern- ment in that city, on account of the pronounced Radicalism of its members, and of dividing the city organization into several municipalities. —— SPAIN.

THE CHARITY BALL. An Elegant Affair in Aid of the Homeopathic Hospitals Theé Biting Atmosphere Braved for Bweet Charity!s Sake: A Happy Combination of Benevolence and - Enjoyment. Some of the Handsome Dresses ‘Worn by the Ladies. Bitterly cold as the night iis, the Charlty Ball at Martine's Hall, corner of Indiana avenue 2and Twenty-second street, came off last night, and was attended by some of our most distin- guished citizens. Under the management of the ladies and gentlemen who had the responsibility, s well as the honor, of attending to the arrange- ments, it could not but have been a successful affair, and such it was in the face of the serious drawbéck offered by the intense cold. Therewere about75 couples present, but the sale of tickets showed that about one-half of those who were anxious to aid in addihg to the finances of the Homeopathie Hospital, in whose behalf the ball was given; were courageous enough to expose themselves to the biting air. The hall was comfortably filled. Forty persons more would have rendered it too crowded, and dancing was indulged in un- tilla late hour. Following is the programme : P.. ... Helter Skelter ‘Vaas' Light Guard Band were on duty to dis- course melody to guide the foot-steps of the dancers, and Chaffey prompted. A few words of advice might bo reasonably given to the pro- prietor of the hall, which world render it 8 more pleasing place for occasions such as that which graced it last evening. Scarcely a gentleman present but bore white witness on his coab sleoves and back to the crude condition of the ‘whitewashed walls, and the upholstery of the geats in the hall was painfully damp. The rooms wers cold, thongh that was not g0 ob- jectionable to the dancers, poesibly, as to the lookers on. Even with these drawbacks, every- ‘body appeared to be in an agreeable frame of mind. Among those present were the fol- lowing: Dr. D. 8. Smith and lady, Professor R, Ludlam and lady, Forsythe, Dr. A. H., Small and lady, J. T. Torrence’ and lady, Judge Norton, N. K. Fair- bank and Jady, W. E. Doggett eod lady, Profes- gor T. 8. Hoyne and_lady, Professor Adams and ledy, klin McVesgh and l~dy, William F. Coolbaugh and lady, Henry Greencbaum and 1ady, Professor J. S. Mitchelland lady, Professor Dorion snd lady, Professor E. Hale, w“hififi- ton Hesing and lady, and Dr. Caillson, of Mil- waukes, 4 A refection was served up stairs befitting the occasion, and, indeed, nothing but more lenient weather was wanting to render the ball a brill- iant success. As it was, the originators may be congratulated upon tho success of their under- taking. Among the many very elegant toilettes which wore observable, were saveral that might easily have been accredited to Worth or Pingat. One especially distingue was of Heseds faille—the train trimmed with seven ruffies. The tablier waa formed of longitudinal puffs, separated by bias bands, which were ornamented with large bows. The over-dress had an apron-front, and was cut @ lawatlleau in the back, the whole finished with tape fringe. The pompadour front s filled in with tulle, while coral ornaments gave the little dash of color that the quiet shade of the dress required. Mrs, J. 8. Torrence wore one of the most charming costumes of the evening, made with & ekill that would lead one to believe none but a French woman's_fingers could possibly accom- plish. It was of Blondin faille the tablier which widened at the bottom was trimmed with four flounces, each headed by & pouffe of black tulle. The train was trimmed at the side with folds finished with rosettes of tulle and faille, while sround the back breadths passed two flounces, each headed with & pouffe of black tulle. The corsage was cut with a slashed postillion basque, and was trimmed with tulle and Chantilly lace. Sashes of the tulle weregracefully draped and knotted behind. The hair was dressed & la Rabagas, with soft o8- frich tips for ornaments. A dress of Chaml ganuzo, faded rose in ghade, was trimmed with silk in rose de haye ghade. The train had three ruffles, alternated of the ganze and silk, then a diagonal puffing of tulle. An apron overskirt of the silk was trim- med with ruffles, while tulle sleeves and scarfs en papillon completed it. The sloeves were short grelotles of silk and wide Dolmans in tulle. A very charming lady, with most courtly man- Ters, who passed a box containing programmes to the gentler sex in the dressing-room before the ball opened, was also exquisitely dressed. Her robe was of the palest Blondin gris, and had four side platings of tulle which formed the tablier, while the train;was perfectly plain. The Josephine corsage was oxquisitely trimmed with Doint lace, and the overskirt wes of the same costly cobweb. A sash in bright colors was Imotied gracefally at one side, while the coiffeur +was charming, the hair being dressed in the style of the first Empire, and a garland of delicate leaves, harmonizing with the dress, forming the iture—s most gracious lady gracefally cased. A young lady wore a dress of white organdie which wes an Jotricate combinstion of prifa and ruffies. The coat-sleeves were puffed af the top, but the whole was_exceedingly graceful. The garniture was of railing vines of smilax, ‘while the front of the dress was drawn back so tightly as almost to give a Greek outline to the elight, elegant figure. dress of sea-foam green was quite plain, but its beauty was enhanced by the addition of an elegant shawl of fine point, draped and tied, with a sash to match the drees. A dress of deep blondin, almost & frou-fron faille, was trimmed with two flounces of ex- quisife Chantilly hesded by 5 featherod trim- ming made of the silks The front was plain, but large bows of black velvet with long ends held the flounces at the side. A fichu of Chantilly trimmed the corssge, and crim- son fuschsias were the contrasting flowers that made this toilet comnlete. A dress of dark maure had the entire tablier covered in ruffles, while several passed around the train. The over dress of gris de Francais was cut with s pomted vest, and made an excep- tionally pleasing harmony of coloring. A dress of delicate lavender was trimmed with side plaitings of organdie and black velvet—the platings- turned each way, and the velvat joined them in the centre, Similar trimmings formed a tablier, while an elegant shawl draped a la wat- tean made this really one of the most elegant toi- Isttes in the room. A hen? faille in & deep shade of damask rose, had a flounce of tho very deepest shade all around the train. A short apron front overskirt with a very bouffant_back held by bows nnd puffed in an indescribably intricate way, was very attractive. Point lace berthe and trim- mings were the fitling finishings to this rich dress. - A Isdy in embroidered muslin was_remarkably distinguished in costume. The trimmings were blue ribbon and forget-me-nots. Herornaments were poarls and_diamonds, whil_the Josephine coiffure was surmounted by the fashiomable Spanish comb. 3 ‘Another very rich dress was of silk embroid- ered gauze, and was worn over s striped grena- dine, while a utfisled sash completed it. A dress of faille grenst was trimmed with flounces on_the train. Bands of velvet were laced longitudinally on the front, and a very ouffant over-skirt and jockey basque com- pleted it. ; . . A dress of black faille trimmed with blue was ‘made with much taste, the lower skirt having an alternate trimming of the blue and black finish- ed with fine fmssamenterie. The_pointed over- skirt was held back by & blua sash that kept the ‘bouffant breadths in place. A dress of roze de hare silk had a ruffle plait- ing, and pointed dounco on the gkirt—ihe latier trimmed with white fringe. This also had sn apron-front_ over-skirt, -houffant back widths | l{:e_ld back by sashes, and algo finished with white ringe. . - i A white dress trimmed elaborately with scarlet was very striking. The flounces on the train were bound with soarlet, whilo the tablior was trimmed with scarlet puffs placed longitudinal- ly. The overskirt had puffings of the silkc and wes fuinished with a heavy scarlet fringe. Another striking costitie wis of black, trim- med with three narrow-plaited ruffles of white gauze. The white striped gauze over-dress was trimmed with black velvet. A dress of peacock-green faille, with a flounce of green velvet, cut in points and trimmed with gomL applique. The decollete Josephine corsage ad the same delica‘e lace for 2 garniture. A dress of plain black moire, very handsome, needed no* superfluous trimming to enhance its elegance, A toilette of black faille, velvet, and lace was very elaborate. and its sombreness enlivened by garlands of eglantine, . Several dresses were perfectly plain, and were a decided relief to the ecye that has been sur- feited with trimmings. These were in exquisite shades, one of which, the palest damask rose, wes especially attraotive. A little dress was sgrinkled with roge-buds, as though Flora, in a laughing mood; had been pelting one of her meids of -honor with flowers: Oneé of blue; covered with illusion and dotted B%}l over with tiny black velvet bows, was notice- able. - These we simply specify, for where nearly all were unusually elegant it is difficult to speak of ony in particular. We would only snggest that no matter how handsome the dress, it should never be made witha blouse waist for s ball- room. Buch a style is only suited for the most informal morning toilette: A LA DR, RAUCH. The County Clerk issued thirty-two marrisge licences, yesterdsy. This fact might be com- mented on @ lz Dr. Rauch as follows: *The enormous increase in the number of marriage licences issued by the County Clerk on Friday, a8 compared with that of the preceding day, would indicate a lower temperature as exhibited ty tho thermometer. Such, on investigation, would prove to be the case, the mercury having fallen within the twenty-four hours preceding the issuance of the first licence, some degrees. There is one extraordinary coincidence to which the Sanitary Superintendent would call the attention of the Board, and that is the equal ropresentation of the sexes in the marrisge record. It may have been observed that & majority of the decedents in tho ‘weekly mortality reports submitted by the Bu- ‘perintendent, belong to the male sex, while here &n exact equality is observable. The Sanitary Superintendent has spent much timein trying to discover the reason for this unvarying equality, and hopes to bo able to report fally on the sub- Ject at some future date. Until then, the Sani- tary Superintendent would recommend the ex- tension of the jurisdiction of the Board over this branch of our municipal economy; and, at the same time, the passage of an ordinance rc- quiring the sanitary policemen to give the sub- ject closer attention.” —— EVANSTOM. . Mrs. Norton, of tho Evanston College for Ladies, proposes to give twenty familiar lectures on history, at the college, on Tuesdays and Thurs days, at3 o'clock, commencing Jan. 7, 1873. These lectures will be on topics connected with ancient and medieval history, and will be illustrated by mops and sketches. They will bo open, by re- quest, to those not members of the college. The feo of $5 will be charged for tho course, the pro- ceeds to be devoted to the uses of the class and the library of the college. The meeting of the Lakesides at the residenco of A.D. Reed, Esq., notwithstandiug the in- clemency of the weather, was well attended. After gome preliminary business, a quartette was sung by Mrs. Gunn, Miss Flag, and Messrs, Brewster and G Rev. E. N. Packard read an excellent criticism on ‘‘ Taines En(;lixh Lit~ erature.” A piano golo, Bambula,” by Miss Lizzie White, elicited the heartiest applause. Professor R. L. Cumnock rend s humorous_so- lection from Dickens’ Christmas stories. Pro- fessor Cumnock is too well known 23 an elocu- tionist to need any commendation. A solo, * Waiting,” by Mrs, Guon, and some excellent character, closed the exercises. After a faw hours :;pent in social enjoyment, the Society adjourned. MISCELLANEOUS CITY ITEMS, A large quantity of stolen clothing awaits an owner at the Sixth Precinct Station. The thief has been arrested, and the identification of the property will facilitate his punishmont. The horses attached to an empty street-car on State street took frightand ran away at half-past 2 oclock yesterday afternoon. At Sixteenth street the vehicle jumped the track, and collided with a telegraph pole. The pole was floored, and the car was broken, but the driver and horses es- caped unhurt.

The Sonth Side houses, with one exception, were closed. The exception was No. 427 State streot, and it was “pulled” in the afternoon, six inmates being captured.

The face was still covered with blood and mud, and Mr. Wilson's assistants spent several hours in washing the body. As Boon as the shop was opened, the friends and relatives of the murder- es man came to look at the remains. The saddest sceme was when Mrs. Duryea came. But a few hours 2go she was a wife, be- Toved by her hmsband, and now shewas & widow, and hia blood-stnined corpse lay before her. Mrs. Duryen is a_prepossessing lsdy: Sheis young snd good looking, of medium heighth, with beautiful dark eyes. How sad_she looked. Sho was dressed in black. A long black veil cov- ered her face. As sho entored the Beekmen street police station Captain Caffery immediate- 1y thought that this was Mrs. Duryez. #Whoré is my husband ” sho said in & trem- bling voice: Shé stipported herself on the rail- ing ; she was scarce able to stand; o Gaptain Caffery informsd. Mrs. Daryes polite- 1y that the body had been removed to 31 Sixth savenue. She thanked him, and, accompanied by her nephey, she went to the undertaker's shop. She was overwhelmod with grief. Her husband had left her the day before with a smile anda kiss, and she was to see his corpse! A Herald reporter conversed with her. Bhe aid, with tears trickling down her cheeks, that she had neyer thought her husband would die so terrible a death. fin kissed her affectionately before going out, and said, **If it is yery rough to-night I think Ill stayin New York.” Bhe fol- lowed him tothe door.and said, ‘Perhaps it won't be rough,and then yowll come homa, won’t you? He gave her another affectionate kiss, and said ** Yos, I will ; good-bye.” These were the lnst words she heard him say. As he shut the door she did not think that she never would hear the sound of that voice again, of that voice which had spoken g0 many wordsof love and kindness. Bhe remained at her resi- dence in Port Richmond, Staten Island, all day. She thought about him and sbout the merry, happy time they would have in Christmas, “How greatly pleased he will be,” she eaid to hersalf, “when he receives these handsome presents.” Night came. *He will probably stay in New York over night,” she said to her servant girl. At 1 o'clock yesterday morning a policeman kmnocked at the door. He said he- ““wanted to see Mrs. Duryea.” Heasked her if her hugband had returned, and when she said ‘‘No,” he said he was ufraid something dreadful had happened. This was all he enid. She passed a sleepless night. What could have happened to her husband? In a fow hours her relatives, whe were living in Jersey City, came and told her that her husband was dead,—that he had been murdered by John E. Simmons. She fainted. After a few minutes she arose and said she would immediately start for New York. Perhaps he was_alive yet, per- baps he was_yet breathing, perhaps sho could catch his dying breath. ‘There he l»g before her,—cold, lifeless, stained with blood. She stooped over him and took his hand, she kissed it and kissed it again, and Joolsed earnestly at his features. His eyes were half open,—it seemed a8 though ho was lookin sther. Bhe gazed at him as though she cor not believe her eyes. - My husband 7" she said, passionately, ‘“my dear, good husban She bent over him and kissed him many, many times. She could not speak—her voice was drowned in tears. She kigeed his lips, his hair, his eyes—she kissed every wound which the knife had inflicted. And finelly she laid down her head on his and put her hands around his neck as thongh she wanted to fold her dead hus- band to her heart. ~The tears trickled down her cheeks and mingled with the blood that was still on his face. # My good, kind husband!” she cried; *and this i my Clristmas, this is my New Year!" She opened his oyes, and they looked at her socoldly. She called him by a hundred pet names; she put his hand to her heart; she l;xssed_ him passionately; she was wild with espair. She was asked to go, but said that she would never leave his corpse—that sho would follow him to the grave. 1 cannot live without him,” she cried, and she added, as though talking to her dead hus- band, “ You left me yesterday hale and hearty, and here yon are dead and cold.” She wa tald that it would bs better Zor hor bo leave. **Let me kisa him once more,” she cried, her face convulsed with grief, and her whole body trembling ; “ let me kiss him_ once more.” It was her last adien. She took his hand and kissed it affectionately, and then she imprinted one long kiss, full of love and sadness, on his cold lips. Then she was dragged away. PERSONAL. The Hon. J. F.

The Story of a Very Brd ¥ndian. From the Querland Monthly. On the reservation there once lived an Indian who waa 80 thoroughly bad in every respect that Be e generally haoue by the oy ¢ Yuka Devil.” He committed all the seven deadly sins and a good many more, if not every day of his life, 2t least as often as ho could, One day he wandered off a_considerable way from the reserve, accompanied by two of his tribal brethren, and they fell upon and wan- tonly murdered three squsws, Wwithout eny Jnown provocation whatever. They were pursue by o detachment of the garrison, overtaken, captured, carried back manacled hand snd foob, and consigned to the guard house. Insome inexplicable manner the devil contriyed to break his fetters asunder, and then he tied them on again with twine, in such a faghion that, when the turnkey came along on a tour of inspection, he perceived noth- ing amiss. . Boing taken ont for some purpose or other goon aftérward, he seized theopportunity to wrench off his manacles and escape. Buthe was speadily overtaken again and brought down with » bullét, which wounded him shghtly, taken back to ‘the guard-house, heavily ironed, and | cast into a dungeoii. Here he feigned death. For four days he never swallowed a crumb of nourishment, tssfed no water, breathed no Dreath that could be discovered, and lay with every muscle, relaxod like s corpse. To all bu- man’ lgerceptinn he was_dead, except that his ‘body did not becoms rigid or cold. At last o vessel of water was placed on & table hard by ; information of that fact was casually imparted to him in his native speech ; all the attendants withdrew, the dungeon relapsed into silénce, and he was secretly watched. After s long time, when profound stillness revailed, and when the watchman had begun to elieve he was in a trance at least, he cautiously Jifted up his head, gazed steelthily. all round him, scratinizing everv cranny and crevice of light, then goftly crawled on all fours to the table, taking care not to clank his chsains the while, took down the pitcher, and drank deep and long. They rushed in upon him, but upon the instant —so0 fatuous was the obstinacy of the savage— he dropped as if he had been shot, and again simulated death. But he was now informed that his play was quite too shallow for any fur- ther purposes, and a8 soon as the gallows could be put in order, the executioners entered and plainly told him that the preparations were fully completed Iurhin%kinghtfi. & halt o made mo sign. Then, half draggiog, carrying the miserable vrelch, they ndhcted him forth to the scaffold. All limp and flaccid and nerveless, s he is, they lifted him upon the platform; but still- he makes not the least motion, and exhibits no consciousness of all* these stern and grim preparations. He is supported in &n upright position be- tween two soldiors, hanging a lifeless burden on their shoulders; hia hend is lified up from his breast, where it droops in heavy hdfl:\-j!m“; the new-bought rope, cold, and hard, and rickly, is coiled sbout his neck, and the huge 0t properll adjusted ot the side; the merciful cap, which Rhuts off thesc heart-sickening pre- sunuun! from the eyes of the faint and shud- ering criminal, is dispensed with, and every- thing is in perfect readiness. The solemn stillness befitting the awful spec- tacle about to be enacted fulls upon the few spectators ; the fatal signalis given; the droj swiftly doscends ; the supporting soldiers i with itasif about to yvanish into the earth and hide their eyes from the tragedy; with a dead, dull thud the tightening rope wreaches the poor savage from their upbearin%ehonldm into piti- less midair ; and the Yuks Devil, hanging there withont a twitch or_shiver, quickly passes from simulated to unequivocal death. STOKES. AZig Story of Fiak’s Menths From the New York World, Dec, 18, ‘This morning Edward S. Stokes is to be puton his trial for the murder of James Fislk, Jr. The report that a new Line of defence is to be taken in the new trial induced the writer to visit the prisoner in the Tomba. * * * “Btolkes tell me the true story of the murder —the killing—you kuow what I mean. Tell it to me justas you would if the words were the last you were to utter.” Stokes hesitated a moment, reflected, and then gaid: ill tell yon all that you wani to Imow.” Then drawing his cheir a little nearer to his friend, still rocking on it to and fro, he spoke slowly and distinctly, as follows : “ As God shall judge me, I did not expect to meet James Fisk that Saturdey afternoon; I had no idea of coming across him at all that day: Ihad not seen him before for some time, aud I had heard that he was still sick of the small~ pox. I was at the Grand Central Hotel with gomo friends looking for other friends, and I +as rambling to and fro about the hotel_when I met him accidentall: —byflle merest accident, 8o help me my God.” (This last sentence very salemuly.) ‘I had been very seldom to the Grand d—cnh'nl Hotel ; only three times before i zay U, I believe, and only once before i the aecond story ; #0 that I knew uothing aboug #ho intarior of the hotol at all. While rambling arouyd I wot James Fiwk, and he med mo; we et Taov tu face, and the Mowent he eaw ma he pu big hand in his pookat. He had his pistol Teady.

He never said I B!tx!?b !fix:a-or K led s or anything of the o merely eaid mf«u the officer who asked him if ho recognized me, **Yos, I know the man; it is Mr. Stokes, Nothing more. He even looked at me somowhat in his old fashion, I think—sadly yet not angrily, almost tenderly. ' I felt almost like making friends with him then; but ho waived his hand and they took me &way ; and I never knew anything about thet wonnd in the abdomen they tallied 8o much about until the next dsy. I thought all the time I had only wounded him slightly, that itwas all asmall mat- ter,and Iwanted to get out onbail at once. I had not the shghtest idea of killing James Fisk, and no man was moroe gorry to hear of his death, for with all his faults Jim had good stuff in him, an no man know it better than I, for I knew both sides of him. But he was armed that afternoon, and I shall prove it this iime ; and shall prove what was done with the pistol; prove it to the satisfaction of the world this time.” [ S ——— The.Duchesse d?Angouleme Pear. Fuller, in his Pear Culturist, relates tho fol- lowing bit of romance in connection with the colobrated Duchesse d’Angouleme pear: A French nobleman, obsurving his tenant about to destray a fine, thrifty pear tree, inquired the cause. He was told that it was o chance seedling, and had borne no fruit in twenty years. He had already cut 1ts roots preparatory to the first stroke, but was ordered to let it remsin. He did so, snd in the following year it was loaded with _superb fruit of an entirely unknown variety, which at once became celebrated. The root-pruning the gardener had given it worked like a charm. _Not many years atterwards, when the Duchesso d’Angouleme was assing through Lyons, its inhabitants seat to Eer their hospitalities, Nine fair maidens pre- sonted the Duchesse with golden salvers, on which lay heaped this precious fruit, and begged her to bestow on it her name, and the pear, now Tecognized as the crowning glory of all fruits, was thenceforward known as the Duchesse d’Angouleme. S A Story for Chiidren. A fricnd of mine told me & story a litle while ngo which interested me so much that I want to tell it to ell my little friends. This gentleman owned a fine horse, which was very fond of him, and would come from the pasture at the souud of his voico, and follow him about like a dog. Well, at one time the horsc became lame and was obliged to stay in kis stable and not be used for meny weeks, and it was during this timo that Mr. C. became interested to see how much horse knew, s=nd how kind his _sympathies were. An old cat had made ber nest upon the ecaffold just above the horse's mavgor, and hed leid thero her littlo family of five kittens, to bring t:-- up under good tuition, I suppose. She and horse got on nicely for some days. She jum : down into his manger and went off for food, - riquet of the" then came back and fsaped up to her kittens again. But one morning she rolled off into the manger with her foot bleeding, and badly hart, 50 that she could scarcely crawl} but ehé man> aged@ to lesp away on three feet and get her -brealfast; but when she came back she was en- tirely vifigble to get up to ber Kittens, and what do you think she did She lni down =t the horse's feet,'and mewed and looked up_several times, till at last pony, seeming to understand her wants, reached down, took the cat in his teeth, and tossed her up on the scaffold to ber Kittens, who, I doubt not, were glad enough to see har. This, M. C. told me he gaw repeated morning after morning. K1t would roll off into the manger, go and get her breakfast, come back, and be tossed up to her family by the kind horse, who must have understood cat langusgo and been willing to listen to it. Chemical and Phy'siological Effccts of Tobacco Smoke. M. Gustave Labon, of Paris, has just issned & treatise upon the chemical and physiological effects of tobacco smoke upon the human sys- tem, the author having first constructed a varicty of apparatus by which he has been enabled, he says, to collect and show with exactuess the various elements of the smoke which condense and_deposit themselves on the organs of the smoker. One hundred grammes—1,500 grains Enill.iah troy—of French tobacco furnish, say3 M. Lebon, 0.550 grains of nicotine and 0.490 grains of ammonia, able to act upon the coat- ings of the mouth, the windpipe, or the pul- monary ducts. Tobaccos of the Levant are the least dangerous, some of them possessing but s emall trace of nicotine. In doses, tobacco smoke instantaneously oxcites cerebral sctivity and the intellectual forces, and facilitates diges- tion. In excessive snd frequently repested. doses, it produces dificulty of digestion, be- numbed intelligence, and clouded memory. P R New Orleans Markote NEw ORLEANS, Dec. 20.—Hay scarce ; prime, $30.60.
