In New Orleans the theater mana
gers have a regulation which, to our
mind, Is just the thing. They charge
double price for admitting infants to
their places Of amusement. TO any one
who has been the subject Of torture,
and who has not, at the hands-we mean
lungs-of the infsntile prodigies who
are nightly carried by their dosing
mammas to public places Of amuse-
mens, tho idea Of prohibition in the
New Orleans style will come with a
blessed sense Of relief. No argument
of the most gifted divine has half the
convincing potency Of the truth Of the
doctrine Of original sin, as the prox-
unity of q squalling cherub In a thea
ter or lecture room. Let this rsgulS-
ton be adopted by Manager Piper and
he will have the sincere thanks OF
everybody but those good-natured yet
+thoughtless parents whose mistaken
kindness to their offspring Is fruitful
sources Of torment to their acquaint-
ancss and friends.

The necessities Of the proposed
change in the dimension and weight Of
the cavalry sabre will be readily seen
BY every ex.cavalry man who reads the
foregoing. Especially will they agree
with the idea concerning porkers and
plug tobacco. The boys In a regiment
We know Of used their bayonets for
killing and carrying their fresh pork:
An elegant sample cavalry sabre,
Weighing about half a pound less than
tho present style, and with a straighter
blade and more highly ornamented
guard, has just been completed at the
armory, and will be forwarded to the
Ordnance office at Washington imme-
diately. The trouble heretofore has
been that the cavalry sabres were too
heavy, and unless the soldier possessed
more than the average of physical
strength, after he had cut from twelve
to fifteen Of the enemy from scalp to
briskst, his arm began to ache. The
troops also complain that a lighter
weapon, one that can be used to stick
hogs. cut plug tobacco and be utilized
In various other ways, Is needed.

THE EPIzoorIo.

The San Francisco papers give very
d~iscouraging pictures Of the ravages OF
the epizootic. Tho disease seems to be
much moro extensive and fatal than it
has been on the eastern slope Of the
Sierras, or, indeed, in the Great Basin.
Perhaps this Is nationally accounted
for by the foggy and damp air Of the
coast, and By the fact that horses In
San FIsncisco are used until they are
unable to walk before being put In the
stable for treatment. Experience has
shown that on the first symptoms Of
the disease becoming apparent. horses
should at once be relieved from all
labor, kept warm and quiet, and prop
erly cared for. Doubtless many valu.
able teams may DO saved by attending
to them at once. In San Francisco, ac-
cordlng to the papers, no substitute has
been found. as yet, which can in any
manner supply the place OF the sick
horses. Oxen are scarce, band carts are
In demand, and Cinnamon are being
used to draw express wagons through
the streets. The street cars stop at the
foot Of the hills, none Of them attempt
ing to 70 up. Persons walk to and from
church. theatres and parties. Hack
hire Is very expensive, and the rates Of
drayage largely increased. The Fire
Department horses are nearly all sick,
and quite a number have been with
drawn from the service for the present.
Ropes are attached to the engines, and
citizens are expected to pull them In
ease Of fire. The disease, as vet, shows
no symptoms Of abatement, Though in
proportion to the number attacked,
there are comparatively few fatal cases.
It Ia very damaging to general business.
and a large number Of laborers are out
Of employment. Goods accumulate at
the warehouses and on the wharves,
aud the business Of the city has a
sickly appearance. All transportation
business Il at = stand still, and will
probably continue so for two or three
weeks to come.

Our dispatches give the frlghtful de-
tails Of an ambuscade by the Modocs,
resulting In the death of some eighteen
or twenty officers and soldiers and the
wounding Of as many more. Only four
Modocs are known to have been killed.
Another page has thus been added to
the responsibilities resting on those
who have had the policy Of the Gov

lesson, which warns the country with
what foes It has to contend. Let Gen.

ing Mann In the right hand, and rang

A coUrLE OF gentlemen, n belong

got Into q dispute the other day at

to be a brave man As we'll as truthful.
But some one suggests that this means
fight In Southern dialect, and that the
prospects Of a duel are good. We
don't care. If the truth can be evolv-
ed by passing an ounce Of lead through
the body of either or both the dlsput-

see by what occult method the murder
Of either will make truth triumphant.

TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.

HAVANA, Jan. 24y 1873.
Advices have been received from the city of
Mexico to the 18th inst
The Vera Cruz and Mexico Railroad has been
finished. The festivities attending the inaugura-
ton OF the line lasted a week, and were partic-
ipated in by the President, members OF the Cab
met, Congressman and the principal citizens.
Business was suspended.
On the 1st inst. President LerdO de Tejada left
the capital in train which was preceded by
locomotive. At Tepexham, the first station outside
of the capital desperadoes had placed three boud-
ers across the track, but with the exception Of
breaking the cowcatcher OF the first locomotive, no
damage was done. At all stations where the Pres
idential train stopped the President was received
with enthusiasm. Minister Nelson, who was just
returning from his visit to the United States, met
the Mexican President at Orizava and returned
with the party to Vera Cruz.
On the Sd instant the President and the Minister
Of Spain to Mexico took breakfast on board the
Spanish man-of-war Isabel Catoca, at which toasts
complimentary to Spain and to Mexico were
drank.
The party left Vera Cruz on the 7th and arrived
at the capital ON the 9Th instant. Several Havana
journalists and the officers OF the Isabel Catoca
assisted in the festivities.
POLITICAL QUIET AND THE COUNTRY PEACEFUL.
The political condition Of the country is un-
changed
The message of President Grant is considered
favorable towards Mexico; nevertheless, compiler
lions are feared, owing to AFFAIRS ON the Rio
Grande.
Minister Nelson has returned to the capital
