SOME Of the laws of Paris are worth import,
iog into this country. 10 many branches Of
business honesty is enforced. If a ~jcweIler
sells plated or washed articles, he is abliged to
label them Limitation. If a grocer is de-
tected selling adultcrated articles for genuine,
he is not only fined, but is obliged to expose a
placard 10 his store stating that fact. Manu-.
t%acturers Of confectionery can only use the kinds
and qualities OF ~colorlng matter prescribed by
ordinance. Such regulations as these would
fall heavily upon some kinds Of business in this

bers of the Fifth Maryland Regiment, to escort
to the armory two diminutive swine, presented
to Col. Jenkins, by Mr.. w. 4. Baker, Of Bos-
ton, 90 the occasion of the regiments recent
Bunker Hill pilgrimage, was the most amusing
and interesting feature of the celebration in
Baltimore, yesterday. About one hundred
members of the regiment took part in the com
ical parade, all of them dressed from top to
toe IN whatever fantastic toggery took each
ones fancy. Indians and other devils, mules
and other asses, broomstick knights in paper
armor, and mondescripts clothed in utter brass
mess, but all irresistibly ludicrous, made up a
spectacle that provoked the risibles Of eveu the
most perspiring patriots. The leading and
most prominent feature of the affair was Gen.
Benjamin I. Butler, personated by Mr.. G. S.
Hamburger, gorgeously and chiefly arrayed in
a masque monstrously Stimulating the we'll
known facial beauties of the hero Butler,
mounted on a steed of g~raspiug stride and ex-
hibiting a wholesome spooniness when reach
ing the vicinity of oats and feed stores.
