A NEW BEVERAGE.

4 new stimulant has been in
vented in England, and its grow
ing use is exciting considerable
alarm. The stuff consists of 4
mixture of naptha and ether, and
it produces kind of intoxication
which its admirers find highly
agreeable. No check can be put
on the consumption of the vile flu
i'll, for the reason that it is not sold
under the name of any eXcisable
spirit, and apparently an act of Par
Lament viii have to be devised, to
meet the difficulty. We have
heard before of people Supplying
themselves with cologne water,
and even getting drunk on cam.
phene, but this naptha and ether
mess certainly beats everything in
tho way of collaborating Hastiness
Doubtless news will soon come Of
spontaneous combustion, as con.
sequences of INDUCING in this
pleasant beverage. At all events
it is better calculated to produce
such an effect than any other drink
we know of, not excepting our own
''forty-rod whisky" or the horri
bic compounds with which people
poison themselves in New Jersey

FRIDAY, MARCH Is, 1872.

Judge, Dobbin, of the Superior Court, OF
Baltimore, yesterday, gave his fual decision in
he,suit of the State of Maryland against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, for
the amount alleged to be due on account of the
payment of certain dividends on stock, or inter
est on loan, in currency, whereas 1t was
claimed that by the terms of the contract
the annual instaments should have been paid
in gold. When the case was tried in the SUI
perior Court year since judgment was given
for the plaintiff, and the claim was referred to
special Auditor, who stated an account in ac-
cordance with the instructions of the Court,
awarding to the State the SUN of 1891, 1899.
The case came up again on exceptions filed by
the defendants counsel to the Auditors re-
port After hearing argument Judge Dobbin
confirmed the report, and ordered payment to
be entered for the amount

The Secretary of the Treasury has prepared
a bill for the admission to American register Of
foreigu-built ships purchased by citizens ofthe
United States under conditions prohibiting
them from being employed in either imports or
exports at any port OF the United States OF in
fishing in its waters The Baltimore American
says: 1.-THE only practical benefit the bill can
have will be to permit such vessels to be en-
ployed in trade between foreign countries, with
whatever rights and privileges the protection
of the American flag can grant them. They
would be debarrcd from bringing cargoes to or
taking them from our home ports, and from
entering into the coastwise trade. The bill
seems to be half way sort of measure, and
calculated to be of very little use in solving the
problem of how to build up the American com
mcrcial marine.

The Baltimore American says:-'lt affords
us much pleasure to note that 10 number of
the towns of the South the building of cotton
mills is seriously discussed. The people are
waking up to the fact that there is as much
profit in manufacturing cotton as there is in
cultivatng it. at present the scarcity OF cap-
tai is the great barrier to these projected enter
prises, but we think that the inducements Of
fered should be sufficient to tempt Northern
manufacturers into transferring part of their
means and machinery to the South. The
amount saved in the transportation Of raw cot
ton, We think, ought to cover very wide mar
gin of contingent profits. The cost of living in
many Of the towns of the South is much less
than in New England or even in Pennsylvania. .

Mr. Thos. A. Scott made an argument on
Wednesday before the Committee of the Dis

senger depot for the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad in Washington. In the course of his
remarks, he said :-"Mr. Garrett has referred
to the difficulty Of making connections with the
Southern roads, if our depot were established.
The president of the O., A. & NJ. road (Mr.
Barbour) asked whether we could not grant
them equal facilities to run trains over the Po-
tomac bridge Of the Baltimore and Potomac
road, and into our depot here. We told him
we would do it. He wanted to know if there
was not mode by which he could get con-
uection with Garrett line. told him there
was by tunneling, as we had done near the
navy yard.

1t would appear from the following that
Gen. Longstreet is not opposed to the re-elec-

the Louisiana House of Delegates who ar
rived in Washington on Wednesday, brought
letter from Gen. Longstreet to the President,
in which he states that his resignation OF the
surveyorship OF the port of New Orleans was
not on account of any political feeling or differ
ences, but solely on account of a desire to retire
entirely from public lite and prepare for an ex-
tended absence from New Orleans. 10 this
end he has also resigned his position as quar-
termaster general of the toufsiaua militia. He
heartily. endorses President Grant, and ;ls a

COMMUNICATED.
Having settled down in this city, coming
from a distant State. have sometimes thought
in what way the prisoners aud loafers confined
in the Jail aud work house of this city could be
best employed, so as to save the citizens need
less expense. Could not the Corporation es-
tahlish Il kind of a laundry for the women, for
the purpose Of washing clothes for any person
who may think proper 10 send them, charging
the usual price Tor the same? The proceeds
would be ample TO maintain them, and the ex
erci>e would lie beneficial to their health. The
men could be employed. during fuc weather,
cleaning the streets Of the city, and III wet
weather be employed at whatever the Corpora
ton thought would be for the benefit of the
city. Now my humble opinion is, that it would
be the means Of keeping many useless, lazy
people from committing crimes and Joungiug
about the streets in di>gustingly drunken
state Not only the work. but the exposure to
the gaze Of the public would he the CAUSE of
their either leaving the city or trying to do
better in the future. Thus it would be better
for the respectable citizens who have to work
hard to support these people in idlencss to
have ceanly swept streets to promenade, and
the prisoners would be benefited by the excr-
else trust you will excuse me for laying
these things before the public My reason Tor
so doing is the welfare of the citizens of Alex
andria, by whom have been treated with the
greatest respect and kindness during my short
stay here. STRANGER.
