The HAITIAN man-of-war Alexander Picton,

traction among the colored people of Norfolk, and
that vicinity. On the 18th, Rear Admiral RAv1a-
Nhux OF the Haytian Navy, accompanied by
several of his colored officers visited Norfolk and
Portsmouth. Later in the day tho Admiral visited
the Gosport Navy Yard, where he was received by
Commodore KILDY and his executive officer, Cant.

tinguished rank. salute was fired from tho re-
ceiving ship Ne7o Hampshire. During their stay
In Norfolk the presence Of tho colorcd officers in

element OF tho city, soon had tho ect of attract
ing largo crowd Of all ages, who followed them
at respectful distance but wcre unable to reprcss
their curiosity and intense wondormcnt ut tho
novel spectacle. On the 18th Admiral Rav1os1Aux,
accompanied by his officers, visited tho Fort, and

AT a MEDICAL CONGRESS in Paris very recently
there was q most interesting discussion on the
subject OF consumption. we find tho following
paragraph with regard to IL in tho Paris leltcr OF
tho Now York Times, "The first question dis.
cussed i'll tho Medical Congress vas question
which reaches and interests, more directly per.
nj fhan f.xx,
question OF tubercle, it's contagiousness and pro-
phylactic. Tho discussion turned mainly on ti,ese
two points: 1s tuberoular consumption contagious
and may it not be prevented by inocuIation2 2
ahould toll you that the profession, tirod Of being
bafied by disease 30 slow in its progress and yet
30 certainly fatal have been experimenting Of late
years all over Europe, and that enough new facts
nave been arrived at to warrant certain number
OF the exparimenters to declare that tubercular
phthisis is contagious, and that healthy and an
infected person ought not to sleep in the same
bed. Experiments have been made upon ralbits
and other animals by inoculating under the akin
the matter from tubercles, and these inoculated
animals die consumptiye in three mon this lime.
The discussions OF the Congress established no
now doctrine In positive way, but they brought
out many valuable facts which will put the profes-
sion step in advance in the right direction.
