Ligvor Licesms—Th-y Must in All Cases be Apjroved by the Board of Police—Colonel Wm. A. Cook, attorney for the District of Columbia, has addressed a letter to Governor Shepherd, im reference to the granting of liquor licenses, in which he takes the ground that such licenses must in all cases be approved by the Board of Police before they become valid. He quotes the acts of Congress of July 23, 1356, amendatory of acts approved August ¢, ISé1,and -July 16, 1862, “to establish a Metropolitan police in the Dis trict of Columbia, to increase the efficiency thereof, and for other purposes,” which amen. datory act provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person or persons keeping an ordinary Testauta oon, or other place where spiritc liquors are sold within the District of Columbia, to give, sel pose of intoxicating drinks (i nse approve! by the Board of Pollce- and hereafter no such license shall considered legal by any of the authorit having jurisdiction within satd Dirt the same shall kere en re t Beard of Police, aud Secretary thereof wu In reference to the of the board is r or judg * at the power of approval oF ewhich simply re- quires formal or ministerial action, but the exercise of sound discretion and jadgment as sropriety or impropriety of granting for the sale of intoxicating liquors to who may apply for them. He states that in cases which have.come before them, both the criminal and police courts have held that compliance with the regulations or require- ments of the District was only an initiatory step or proceeding, and of itself conferred no | right; ard that there could be no legal sale of intoxicating liquors until after an approval of an application or license by the Board of Po- lice, and that it was intended by the act of Con- gress to commit to the Board of Police the final | ami conclusive control over the granting ot | leenses. Col. ©. closes by saying: “lt may be proper to add that the power of approval is | clearly one that should not lie dormant. should be exercised with ag little delay as pos- sible, so that the question of the right of sale | may be promptly and finally determined.” gan | THe OPER. erdi's beautiful opera of | Rigoletto was given last evening by the Kellogg | troupe in a style highly satisfactory to the audience. In many respects the performance | Was better than that of the previous night. | The orchestra was in better tune and offered | better support. Mrs. Van Zandt as Gilda was most pleasing, and sang the role, difficult as it is, in @ conscientious style, which caused the audience to, more than once, offer her a gener- ous encore. The new tenor, Mr. Maas, was likewise well received, and in his several duos and solos sang with much taste. His voice is a very pure tenor, and he will undoubtealy be- Come 4 great favorite here. Mr. Hall acted the character of Rigoletto most artistically, and sang well considering the fact of his having a severe hoarseness. ‘The character of Spara- fucile, assumed by Mr. Henry Peakes, does no! afford scope for that gentleman's tine voice and acting, but all that he did he did well. Maddiua was personated by Mrs. Zelda Seguin.

New Year's night @ family named Schrode, living over a store on Gratiot street, met to havea visit and a supper. One of the sons named Albert lives near the house of correc- tion, and another named Charles, on Catharine street, the former being married ‘and the latter single. Between the two brothers there has been a bitter feud for two years past, resulting from an unsatisfactory division of money ree ceived from some relative in Germany. They had not spoken for a year until the other night and then they merely recognized each other's presence. The father and mother, antions to have the difficulty ad 1 and’ to see the brothers on friendly terims, opened the old ject after supper, and in five minutes the two men were ready to murder one another.

Meanwhile Ellen Martin, with a ter- | rified shriek, ran out into the open air and started for the drug store. Suddenly it occurred to Cooke that she had witnesed the awful | tragedy, andy yi" the blood slowing from his | wounds upon D4 clothing, marking his way with a erimson stream, he pursued her twenty yards witn the reeking knife in bis band, that ad served his purpose so terribly. He turned, | however, and burst into the next house, occu: | pled by Mrs. Lindley, and fell upon the bed, | saturating it with blood. No sooner had he en- | tered it than following iim came some women. | bearing the form of his wife, who was placed | upon the same bed. | A MisEr’s Fate.—A female miser was dis- | covered in New York by the police last week, | taken tothe Bellevue hospital Saturday evening. The surgeon discovered that she was suffering from general debility produced by | starvation and exposure. She was too weak to endure @ bath, and her clothes were aay | taken off, her dress being put beside her | Her clothing was black with dirt and filled with | vermin, ile the nurse was undressing her, she threw gside the dress, when suddenly the old woman ne out of bed and fiercely re- | sisted her. ‘arden Brennan then examined the dress, and found that it was absolutely quilted with money. It contained nineteen | kets, cach of which was filled with money, m pennies up to dollars. About $300, in- | ing $8 in pennies and $46 in old city and | venle bills, were found, with & large qu tity of bank bilis which were absoiutely roiten and crumbling to pieces. It took the warden over two hours to count the money. Mean- while the old woman was growing worse, and | early yesterday she died. The old woman had | bo heme, and fad been sleoping one night in one shanty and another on @ doorstep, depend- ing entirely upon the charity of the very poor for food and lodging. She had evidently been begging and starving herself for years, while | she was scraping together the $300 which was found in her worm-eaten dress A Littie Cayprp Carticism.—Not long ago the youthiul Mr. C— was engaged to mani- petals the ivory on a church organ not far from the Hub.

A SNAIL TELecnara.—The snail, accordin, to some of his admirers, discovered or invented the electric telegraph; may, he is the electric telegray h, in hisown proper though somewhat crooked person. About twenty or twenty-five years ago, this matter was much talked about, especially in France. We in England contented ourselves with the des! tion, sympathetic | snails; but our energetic neighbors across the channe! rushed into science at once, and talked of the Telegraphe Escargotique. The assertion or opinion on which it was foanded was, that some of the lower animals, including snails, when brought into contact, become aifected by an identity of function and movement. This iden- tity, it was alleged, would continue after the creatures were separated; inasmuch that if you touched the head of one the other would feel it, though at a distance, and would show some kind of movement in the head; if you touched either one on the tail, the tail of the other would man- ifest more or less agitation, an! so on. The practical herria of this would be the con. struction of a code, alphabet, or vocabulary of signals, giving to each movement of the animal adefinite meaning. And thus we might make nail telegraph—the slowest of animals em- yed to convey the quickest of messages.— English Paper. TORRAPRUTMICAL VaLrR or CADRAGE Leaves.—The Revue de la Therapeutique enumerates some of the uses in which cabbage- leaves have proved of special value in disease. Among the uses thus specitied, prominence is given to the property this leaf posesses of ex- | citing and augmenting suppuration of the | secretion of nisers, ulcerations, vesicles, and | Aud the most complete stock of pustules. It has the same action on the integu- ments affected by inflammation from erysipela: or boils, and removes rissues in a morbid con- dition. "The augmentation of sappuration is | constantly followed by an amelioration and | often by a cure—it is the condition necessary to the result. and the property of the leat which | determines this result is an indireety curative | property. But this property, according to the | Revue, does not consist in any principle which the leaf yields for absorption, but rather in an affinity ‘which the leaf has’ for the vitiated | secretions. The leaf exercises this affinity on open ulcers, or on ulcers covered by a thick or | thin scab or crust, and also on the thickened epidemis, or where converted into thickened rind-like membranes. ‘The cure of an ulcer by these leaves, however wide-spread and long- standing it may be, is without danger and re- lapse is very rare.
