Arrival of the Orizaba.

The orizaba, from San Juan del Norte. ha s
arrived at New York, with later advices from
Nicaragua, which win be found under our tele-
graph head. The triumph of Gen. Walker is
complete; but the good news is not unalloyed.
The death of JAMES WALKER, the younger
brother of the General, from fever, is annouu-
oed. 1t Is but short time since, in good
health, he took leave of his friends here, and
departed to join his brother, foil of hope, and
anxious to do something to serve the cause of
freedom 10 Nicaragua. Most sincerely do we
sympathise with his family in this sad stroke
of misfortune.

There probably class OF diseases which wide
spread their nature and terrible in their results the
diseases Of the throat and lungs It. therefore, becomes
matter Of socude to the roson to know there
any whereby those diseases he controlled and
ameliorated.
DR.. R. Hunter and myself have made these diseases
peculiar study for several years. and have found that
only whereby these diseases be reached is by
direct local application the prescribing Of medicines which
breathed into the lungs in the form of vapor and
consequently brought contact with the whole internal
face of the lungs The Of has fully
sustained the theory.

A FREAK OF FAsHloN.-Late hours
have so long been the besetting sin Of
all balls, parties, etc, in fashionable
life, that it is quite refreshing to find
an effort made to effect a change. A
practice has just been introduced in
New York which is decidedly a. effort
at reform. 1t is, to say specifically
upon the cards of invitation that the
pleasure Of tue guests company is de-
sired from seven to eleven o'clock, P. NJ.
AT ten minutes after eleven the music
plays good night, and the hostess takes
her place to pay the parting compii-
n,ents to her visitors. The fashion.
able hours have been from ten to two.
and the reform simply takes three
hours from the latter part of the enter.
tainment and places them in the fore
part.
