No saloons more crowded than those Of Gen.
Dix. His receptions given every Saturday even

shall have departed at twelve o'clock. His most bril-
liant entertainment took place last week Diamonds
cmerads pearls and rGbies there surfeted the gaze
Trains OF satin, silk, lace and velvet, crimson purple
green, black, etc. covered the floors; corsages fol-
lowed the style of Nine Recanner, and while some
arms ignored sleeve, others wore the Grecan sleeve
falling almost to the feet. The crnoline was abol-
shed, and stomachers of real and Initiated gems were
worn. Little Slippers which hiqhlp visible Our

the sad the gay the beauty and her unfortunate in
cog companion, discovered at The healing pool
refreshing themselves. Spaniards were calling for
ices. Turks were taking iced coffee. Englishmen
were drinking tea, and getting their cups tossed out
of their saucers, turning the contents upon the ee.
CANT trains i'll their vicinity and in the midst of all
this there moved about, as stly the crush would
permit, covered with decorations as to be RI
dicalous. Miss DIX is gentle and adyke, but there is
absence of refinement in these receptions consd-
eraby noted In TRUTH the position of ambassador to
the court Of France is no trifa. A man must have
cultivated mind, and manners more or less courty,
TO represent his country in dignfed way, particularly
at a time when his parloFs are filled by people whose
young and gigantic fortunes the sole lever which
lifts them into such circles. Europe is overrun with
such just now having grown into riches heaven knows
how, during our war. Their first thought Of course
is Earope, and what subjects they would be for the
comic pencil of Punch.

Concerning the Raising Of the Bronze Statue

OF CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL s~
We are glad to see you, John Marshall, my boy,
So fresh from the chisel of Rogers
Go take your stand on the Monument there,
Along with the other old codgers@
With Washington, jefferson, Henry and sucA,
Who sinned with great transgression,
in their old fashioned notions Of Freedom and Right
And their hatred of Wrong and 0ppression
You come rather late to your pedestal John,
For sooner you should have been here;
For the volume you hold is no longer the law,
And this is no longer Virginia.
The old Marshall-iaw you expounded of yore,
Is not at all to the purpose;
And the nartial-law of the new Brigadler
Is stronger than haJeqs corpus.
So keep You the volume shut with care,
For the days Of the law over;
And itneeds all your brass to be holding it there,
With "Justice )" inscribed on the
Could life awaken the limb Of bronze
And blaze in the FURNISHED eye
What would We do with your moment OF life.
Ye men of the days gone by?
Would ye chide or pity US, blush weep,
Ye men Of the days gone by?
Would Jefferson tear up the scroll he holds
That time has proven lie?
And Marshall shut the volume Of law
And lay it down with a sigh?
Would Mason roll up the Bill Of Rights
From unworthy to scan it?
And Henry dash down the eloquent sword,
And clang it against the granite?
And Washington, seated in massy strength
On the charger that paws the air,
Could he see his sons in their deep disgrace,
Would he ride so proudly there?
He would get him down from his big brass horse
And cover his face at our shame;
For the land of his birth is now 1" District One
Virginia once the name!

DRUNKENNESS AS A DIsEAsE.-Methomane or the
mania for strong drink, is name recently given to
that chronic stage of habits Of intoxcation in which
1t is regarded disease and to be treated as such
rather than as vice. There are many cases that have
been and are successfully treated in this way and can
be in no other Dr. Albert Day, of the Washington
House, in New1ork has cured already many drunkards
and his success has been entirely owing to taking
this view of the subject He has treated two thousand
cases and of these four hundred were in the stage of
delrlum tremens; and he has written a work on the
subject. In England this sort Of treatment is now
being resorted to, and with success Drunkenness
may be and often is disease and persons of the
highest natural and moral sensbites are often driven
TO desperation despair rnn and even suicide BY the
consciousness of their inability directly to master
habits Of intoxeation, which skful and couscieo-
tlouS physician would best enable them to overcome
In some cases there is marked tendency to habits Of
this sort transmitted hereditarily. Goodtemperad.
sTmpathising, moral nursing is what such patients
seem to want more than anything else Hospitals for
such are being established in several places in the
United States. One in successful operation in
Blnghampton, New York, when the buildings were
unfortunately destroyed by FIRE. In PHILADELPHIA there
was an association chartered by the Legislature for the
same purpose. The treatment Of insanity as a dis
ease instead of calamity that cannot be helped has
revolutionised in the most beneficial way everything
connected with those affected with mental nfrmities
The treatment Of drunkenness in the same way NAV
effect somewhat similar results.

The Fort Phil. Kearney Massacre.

ST. LOUIS March 26.-A special despatch from
st. Joseph to the Republican gives the following
account of the massacre near Fort Phil. Kear-
ney, derived by the Com missioners from the
Crow Indians who received it from the Sioux.
The Sioux drew our men out of the fort and
killed them all. Our men fought like so many
tigers and would not have been mastered so
easily had they not kept so close together. The
companies were so mixed up that the Indians
show the arrows that killed several of their
own party. The bravery OF our bugler was much
admired, he having killed several Indians by
beating them on the head with his bugle
They say that there We're only sixteen Sioux
and four Cheyennes killed on the held, but
after they escaped eighty four warriors died
from their wounds, and three hundred others
were wounded, half OF whom they expected
would die. One big Sioux chief was among the
killed. They mention one man on a white
horse who cut off an Indians head with a sim
gle stroke OF his sabre. When the reinforce
ments started from this post for the battle
ground the Indians left, having had enough
lighting. There were 2200 Indians engaged in
the fight, and the strength Of the concentrated
tribes are reported at $500 lodges, which are
now moving towards the Yellow Stone and
Missouri rivers.
