TIE HAYTIAN man-of-war Alexander Picto,a,
which arrived at Fortress Monroe few days
ago, disabled and in tow of the steamer Granada,
has become the object Of intense interest and at
traction among the colored people Of Norfolk, and
that vicinity. On the 10Th, Rear Admiral RAv1a-
N1Aux of the Haytian Navy accompanied by
several Of his colored officers, visited Norfolk and
Portsmouth. Later in the day the Admiral visited
| the Gosport Navy Yard, where he was received by
Commodore K1BY and his executive officer, Capt.
ROGERS, with all the honor and courtesy due his dis
| tinguished rank. Asalute was fired from the re-
| ceiving ship Neso Hemp shire. During their stay
in Norfolk the presence Of the colorod officers in
uniform becoming noised about among the colored
element Of the city, soon had the effect of attract
ing large crowd of all ages, who followed them
at respectful distance but were unable to repress
their curiosity and intense wonderment at the
| novel spectacle. On he 18th Admiral RAv1eN1AUx
accompanied by his officers, visited the Fort, and
were received with salute Of thirteen guns. The
Admiral called on General HAYES. the Commandant
Of the Post, and was escorted around the Fort and
shown the various objects Of interest connected
with the garrison. 1t is now definitely settled that
the man-of-war will be towed to New York for re-
pairs Steamers have been dispatched from New
York for this purpose.
AT A MEDICAL CONGRESS in Paris, very recently,
there was most interesting discussion on the
subject Of consumption. We find the following
paragraph with regard to it in the Paris letter of
the New York Times: ''The first question dis |
cussed in the Medical Congress vas question
which reaches and interests, more directly per-
haps than any other, every family. 1t was the
question Of tubercle, its contagousness and pro-
phylactic. The discussion turned mainly on these
two points: Is tubercular consumption contagious
and may it not be prevented by incubation? |
should tell you that the profession, tired Of being
bafed by disease slow in its progress and yet
so certainly fatal, have been experimenting of late
years all over Europe and that enough new facts |
have been arrived at to warrant certain number |
of the experimenters 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 rabbits |
and other animals by inoculating under the skin |!
the matter from tubercles, and these inoculated |
animals die consumptive in three months time. |
The discussions Of the Congress established no
new doctrine in positive way, but they brought |
out many valuable facts which will put the profess
sion step in advance in the right direction.
CRGsus POSSESSED, in landed property, fortune
equal to FL 100000; he used to say that citizen
who nad not sufficient to support an army or a |
legion did not deserve the title of rich man. The
| philosopher SENECA had fortune of fS 1000.
IBERIUs, at his death, left f19,624,OOO, which |
CALIaUIa spent In twelve months. VEsPAsiAN, in
ascending the throne estimated all the expenses
of the State at f95, 100000. The debts of Milo
| amounted to 100000. CESAR, before he entered
upon any Office, owed c., ,5OOOOO He had DUR
chased the friendship Of CoRo for f5OO, and that
of LUoIUs PAULUs for 100000 At the time of the
| assas sination OF JULIUS CESAR, ANTONY WAS in
debt to the amount of 49 600, ,OOO he owed the sum
to the Ides of March, and it was paid by the Kal
cuds Of April. He spent 9147, 100000 App1us
spent in debauchery f5OO, OOO and finding on ex-
animation Of his affairs, that he hal only fSO0OU,
poisoned himself because he considered that sum
insufficient for his maintenance. CESAR gave

TIE EUROPEAN papers chronicled impressively
the fact that when the Emperor NAPo LEON met
his Imperial Austrian contrere at Salzburg, ne
was dressed in plain black suit Of civilians cos
tune. The Kaiser, on the other hand was gor-
geously gotten up in military and imperial tog-
gerry, which formed a striking and noticeable con-
trast. The dag after the meeting, however, to
the astonishment and CONSERVATION of all Salz-
burg, all Austria, and all mankind, FRANCIS
JOSEPH appeared with NAPOLEON in the public
streets, dressed in dark civilians frock and
trowsers and wearing round hat. This is said to
be an incident without precedent in his history,
and is alluded to as proof that his policy has |
completely changed. We ourselves must regard
the event 90 OF the most formidable character.
