A SUICIDE FROM THE TOWER OF NoTRE
DANE Correspondence of the London
Telegraph IAN elderly man entered the
Church OF Notre Dame this forenoon at 10
O'Clock and assembled one OF the towers, al
ter having paid the usual two sous required
from visitors. There was nothing remarka-
BILE in his bearing, and noone paid particu-
lar attention to him. When he had attained
to the highest point to which visitors are al
lowed to mount, he raised himself on the
and after looking down for moment
plunged from the dizzy height. He fell in
the Cour du Presbytere, and of course was
picked up dead. Nothing is known of the
man.

THE NORFOLK BLUES AND THE CENTENNIAL.
"An active member Of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues" writes to the Virginian
denying that the company suffered any in
hospitality in Philadelphia on the occasion
OF their recent visit. He says among other
things: "Along the line of march I saw
twice walters OF lemons given away BY fair
hands. Mr.. Editor, have we not all seen on
such occasions water and lemonade sold by
boys, and men even, in our own city !? And
I will here call the attention Of the editor Of
the Enterprise to the fact that he paid for o
bucket OF water in Richmond last October,
for the use OF our company while we were
standing on, the Capitol Square. There,
among our own people and kin, he had
nothing to say" 81
The Richmond. soldiers say that the Blues
made mistake in going to hotel; they
ought to have gone into camp, where
friends and fellow-soldiers could have found
them more easily. slss.i3

THE PINK-EYED DIsTEMPER AMONG THE
HoRsEs.-The horses Of the various passen-
ger railways, rs well as those OF the livery
stables, are just now said to be suffering to
a considerable extent from what horsenen
call ''the pink-eyed distemper." The disease
made its appearance suddenly short time
since, and appears to be spreading. The
malady acts differently upon the animals. In
some it affects the eyes, which become
swollen and assume q pinkish hue. In
others the limbs are attacked. The horses
thus smitten usually hurt themselves con-
siderably by kicking and tossing.-Phila-
