DepI0rable Condition Of Norfolk.

From conversation with several members OF
the Norfolk and Portsmouth Committee ther,
in Washington, the American Organ of Wed
nesday, collects the following heart-rending
details
In consequence of the absence of the country
people from the market, the richest as well as
the poorest citizens are wholly dependent on
the Howard Association for their daily food.
The whole population must therefore be sus-
tanned at the public expcnse.
The whole city is infected to such degree
that the noxious elfluvia thrown off by it may
easily be scented at "a considerable Distance be-
yond the city limits
All the resident physicians, with one or two
exceptions, dead.
The scenes daily witnessed beggar dcscrip-
ton, and have had parallel since the Plague
of Athens, as described by Thucy ditles, or the
Plague of Florence as described by Boccac;o.
gentleman relates that he had been uli-
able to visit the house of his neiyhbor Mrs
Whittle, for two or three days When he call
ed at the expiration of that time he found Mis-
Whttle had been dead three days, and her re-
mains still lying uncol1ned in the house In
another room were lying the bare floor
three Young persons, male and female, i'll with
the fever, aud no one to care for them He
procured wagon and mattresses to remove
them to the Hospital. Before he could place
them in the wagon the mattresses were stolen
and the Young lady and her companions in suf-
feri"g were compelled to lie the bottom,
and when they reached the Hospital to be
placed on the foor again.
Many Of the dead have been buried In tie
alleys IF lie c1y-of course incrcas1 tenfo!d
the danger Of the infection.
Nearly all the banks have lost a portion of
their most valuable officers.
The wives and children of several of our
most distinguished naval officers have in their
last moments been utterly unattended.
The conduct of Col. Wright of the army
commanding at Fortress Monroe, is severely
censured. \ few days age Lieut.. Sinclair,
United States Navy, procured a row boat and
embarked with three ladies, for the fort. The
distance is sixteen miles. When the boat
reached the government wharf it was prohibi-
ted from landing, by the soldier on guard by
order Of Col. Wright. Lieut.. Sinclair then re-
qncsted message to be delivered to Col.
Wright, with his card to the following pur-
port. that he regarded his conduct as cotoardIy
and inhunan to the last degree, and that he
used the word '-owardy" in its usual signiti-
cance. Sinclair then, with his precious charge,
rowed back again to Norfolk.

STAIRCASE ErlouErrE.-A beau writes to us
from Saratoga to inquire to some staircase
proprietes and poIltcncss- We believe the
case is all stated i'll StrDger and Townsends S
capital new book ''Ilustrated Manners''-a
compendium of Intcrcoursiana we'll worth
every young gentlemans and ladies' paying the
price Of The author says:
'On staircase broad enough for two to
ascend abreast, the place of honor is the farthest
from the banistcrs as being the safest. Where
couple do not go up or down stairs abreast,
which goes first? 1t is man-ofwar etiquette
that everybody dcsccnds from the deck before
the commander If gentleman goes down
before lady, he will have less risk in trcading
on her dress Ifhc goes up foremost, in nine
eases out of ten it will be better, since the la
dy may have large feet or thick ancles, or some
other reason for wishing to protect her lower
eNtremities from observations; and when this is
the case, the dragging, slouching way in which
women pull themselves up stairs, is very un-
pleasant to witness.

\ TRAr FOR CArcI1NG TAPE WoRMs.-Thc
Scientific American, of Aug. llth, has an
article, with illustration, descriptive of a trap
intended for catching tape worms in the
stomach, invented by DR., Alpheus Myers, of
Logansport Ind, for which he has secured
letters patent from Washington. The trap is
made after the fashion of the ancient mousse
trap, having forks prongs whcreon to fastcn
piece of toasted cheese When the victim of
the tape-worm has lived cold water for
three days, the trap witt, the bate stuck on is
let down into the stomach, where the worm is
ravenous with hunger. The act Of nibbny
the cheese brings up spring, which secures
the head of the 'varmnt," and then the fish
crman" above may quietly and cautiously com
mcncc pulling it up the nsophagus, rolling it
up Oh Il reel by the yard to the extent Of from
four to eight rods! This is a little ahead of the

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SEI.F-MUrILATIoN.---A
most extraordinary of self-mutilation (says
the Paris letter of the Picayune) is mentioned
in a late Cork paper. A soldier stationed
there, for deserting, sentenced to be i'm
prisoned for six days. and to be branded on
the breast with the letter D. While undergoing
his Imprisonment he was taken sick, and sent
to the hospital. On partially recovering he
was removed to the convalescent ward. Here,
while no one was watching him, he took the
razor with which he daily shaved himself and
deliberately cut out that part of his flesh on
