The WOMEN OF ITALY are beginning move
crusade against foreign fashions in dress. IL is
- be hoped that il will he an effectual one. for
the models with which they propose to replace
those OF the French are to be taken partly from
the most graceful and artistic of the antiq ne
garments pictured by lannon's Italian painters.
Native artists in gowns will aid in this queer re-
formation. and a monthly journal will advocate
IL strenuously. Possibly next years birds of
passage will ind the Roman and Florentine
women making themselves beautiful in the
most striking costumes OF Titian's and Da
Xinci's pictnres.

SIXTY PERSONS POISONED. - Last night
waterford was the scene of the widest alarm
and the greatest confusion. From the facts tn at
cone 10 our knowledge, IL seems that Robert
Waldron yesterday had manufactured for his
marked large lot OF hesdcheese. As il was the
fist OF the season, the citizens bought literally
and many of them partOOk heartily of it yester,
day for their evening meal. At about O'Clock
last night the alarm was first given, the proprie-
tor and inmates Of the Howard House one after
another, being taken alarmingly ill. Physicians
were summoned in hot baste, and from that
time until morning the greatest panic prevailed.
The poisoned parties are all doing well, with
the exception OF Mrs. Varderwerken and Mr..
Howard and daughter, who are yet very sick.
1t il but fair to state that no blame IL attached
TO Mr.. WaldroD. 1t IL a mystery how the cheese
became impregnated with the poison.-TT0y

Rfceland steam Min Burned.

We copy the suhjoined report from the
Plaquemines Sentinel:
On Saturday night, seventh instant t? :
Riceland steam rice mill was totally DO
stroyed by fire. When first discovered, in
the upper story, it had made but little
headway, but the combustible nature of
the building rendered all efforts to extir-
gulsh the flames unavailing.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by the over heating of the machinery con
nected with the brush" but nothing def
mite can be asGertained.
The steamer Bradsh johnson was. very
fortunately, at the mill landing, and, by
the exertions Of her officers, I65 barrels of
rice were saved from destruction. We are
not informed Of the amount OF rice de-
stroyed, but the quantity must have Deen
large.
The mill was one Of the Oldest in the
parish and was formerly owned and worked
by William E. Thompson, ESQ, and suisse
quently by his sons, T. J. and ?. X. Thomp-
son, rice dealers, No. 81 Peters street, New
Orleans.
The present owners, we believe, are also
residents Of New Orleans. Amount of loss
unknown

Flank Movement on 81. Domingo.

We reproduce this Washington special of
the tenth instant to the New York Herald
The Dominican republic has again made
its appearance among the topics of the day
here, and some of the gOssips have made up
rather interesting scheme which may,
after all, be carried out. They say that
General Rufus Ingalls, has arrived here
from New York with assurances that
wealthy capitalists Of the metropolis have
sent to BaeZ a sufficient amount of money
to detray the expenses of his government
and that when this shall have been done
Baez will secure the pass ge of an act ask
ing for annexation, under the name of the
State CT SANTANA, to the United States. Ire
President will follow the example set when
Texas applied Tor admission into the Union,
and will submit the question, as he declared
IN has last message on the subject, ITO
the judgment of the American people
and OF their representatives III Congress as
sembled.' AS his conduct OF the st. Dc
miDgo question was bitterly assailed before
and during the recent canvass, and as he
as received the Endorsement OF the Ameri-
aan people for what he has done, nc will
doubtless feel encouraged to carry out his
opinion, that the interests Of our country
and OF St: Domingo invite the annexation
Of that republic. To ensure success it
would be necessary for the President 10
vicinity or at st. Domingo. and the gossips
further declare that this is the real des.ina-
ton of Secretary Delano. That tue Secre-
tary is not in Ill health is evident 10 all who |
see hin, ard he has issued autograph inv |
tations Q a dinner party which lie gives
morrow to leading friends Of the admpistfa.
ton The next day, Thursday, he will leave
here, acc0mpan ed by his friend Governor |
Brown, the president Of the Georgia Cen
trail railroad, for Savannah. Now The rail
road has not yet yielded large dividends on
the capital invested in it, but it hardly
needs Mr., Delano's personal supervision, |
and it is knowingly declared that ne will be
Joined at Savannah by proper staff, and
cross the Caribbean sea to Cuba or even to
San Domingo, that Baez may have power
5ul support. Such are the salient points Of
Jhe lumors of the day, which have terribly
9xc ted some of the diplomatic corps, and
caused them to spend large sums for cable
lisRRtches that their respective govern
neHts may be posted. 1t is more than
probable that before the next national an
li1ersary new State star will have been
Idded to the constellation on our flag, and
hat next winter we shall see General Baez
n the United States Senate.

The provisions of the bill introduced IN

Mr.. +. Il. Roberts are substantially as fol-
lows:

Duty on Exported Tobacco,

This is a Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer:
The consitutionality of the act of Con
gress imposing ten cent export stamp to
be placed on manufactured tobacco when
the same shall be exported has been nues-
toned by William p. Burwell, who repre-
sents the tobacco manufac urers Of Rich
mond and Virginia cities. In letter to Mr..
Israel Kimbal,, chief of the tobacco bureau
at Washington, the point is made that the
tax is violation of clause in the consti-
tuition which. says that no tax or duty shall
be placed on any article exported from
State. In reply, Mr.. KimbaII says that he
has not fully examined tile matter but goes
on to argue that the tax is constitutional.
He admits himself much impressed with
the weight of the adverse authorities cited
1t appears by the commissions RS report
that the sum of SOC, 600 was collected in this
way some years ago under a twenty-five
cent tax, and considerable sum under the
present tax. In all, the sum of 5000 900 has
been collected from the State Of Virginia
under this tax, and as no refunding by the
department or act of Congress is antici-
pated, 1t is proposed to bring the matter up
by suit in the federal courts

The Shreveport Telegram Of the seventh
instant, in commenting on matters in New
Orleans, says;
The affair has assumed such a grave LEGAL
bearing THAT we arc unable to pronounce
upon 1t, preterring to await further deveIop-
ments. 1t is evident, however, that tie
party in opposition to Warmoth are deter
mined that Ae shall proceed in this matter
in legal manner, and as they will likely
be sustained i'll their action by the powers
OF the general government, he has a heavy
struggle ahead of him. He is bold enough.
we admit, to carry the most ultra designs
into execution, and in his desperation would
drag the whole State after him: but we
have faith in the cool Judgment of the
people IL this emergency. Ii Warmoth is
right, we presume he will succeed; if in er-
Tor, the power he has invoked against him
is too strong for even one of his metal 10
yictorously encounter Our trust is that
Louisiana may not be injured in this con
test for supremacy by the rival factions.
Other considerations to us are of inferior
Importance. We expect the courts of the
IanH 70 pronounce correctly upon the legal
status OF the questions il dispute; to refer
them to test of physical strength would
be Ieprehensfble and suicidal.

Developments In a Poisoning r,osa

New YORK, December 13.-The test
mony in the Anderson poisoning case to-
day embraced a startling disclosure. A.
jackson, formerly clerk in DR.. Irish's store.
testified that ten days before Anderson's
death Dr. Irish and Mrs. Anderson came
into the store, and at the Doctors request
witness put up three drachms of white
arsenic. with which, he said, Mrs Anderson
wanted to kill cat Four or five DAYS
after, DR. Irish ordered the witness to but
81 worth OF arsenic, with 81 worth of Paris
green. On the twelfth OF May Dr.. Irish
said to witness that, as he might be sub
penI in this case, lie would like to know
II the evidence coatlicted The Doctor
asked him about putting up some bicarbon-
ate OF soda. and if he remembered it. Wit
ness replied that he did not see him get it,
and would not perjnre himself for the civ
OF Brooklyn. The Doctor said he could 20
out of the city to Sing-Sing, or any other
place. A new clerk was then obtained. and
the Doctor gave witness So and he left for
Buffalo, where he has since remained. Mrs.
Andersen wrote q letter to Irish, telling
HIM he had better not let witness 90, as the
other side might get hold of him and he
might testify i'll regard to getting arsenic
Tor the eat.

However much We may have differed
