1T may interest some of our
readers to know how a late law
enacted by the Virginia legislature
regulating the sale of liquor in bar
rooms operates. What is called a
registering apparatus was provided
for in the act, aud is described as
follows by the Lynchburg Virgin
ian;
X On one side is a crank, and on
another dials like those of a gas
meter. The barkeeper turns the
crank once round at every sale of a
drink, a bell strikes, and the dial
registers one. The object of the
device is to determine the amount
of tax to be collected, at the rate of
one cent on every drink. Although
ii heavy fine may be imposed for
neglect to use these machines pro-
perly, or for tampering with them
in any way-and there are officers
whose duty it is to detect such Of
fenses-the belief is that they will
not answer the purpose, because
drinkers will generally connive at
violations of the law.

tons, with the Papal tiara, and

The Sd OF June, when the princi-
pal festivities will take place, coin
oides strangely enough with the ma
tional holiday, or FIESTA Della Stat
uto. Both parties, c~lericals and
Liberals, are judioiously taking
measures to avoid disturbance in
the city. The fireworks, which are
always displayed from Castle st.
Angelo, win be omitted this year,
and the Pope has ordered the Jubi-
lee to be observed the day before.
The Piazza della Minerva, which
is the rendezvous for the pilgrims,
and where there is a good inn, of
which they have taken possession,
gives the idea of an ethnographical
museum. There is the picturesque
costume of Normandy and Brittany,
the Cracovian dress and that of
Holland. The French women seem
to be all dressed in black luster, and
to wear muslin caps on their heads.
A number of these we're crowding
around their Bishop the other day
in the public square to kiss his
hand. Some policemen in their
black and orange uniforms stood
looking on, and to give color to the
scene at the church of Santa Maria
Sopra Minerva was the carriage of
some titled clerical lady with its
crinson-dressed outriders, To add
to the fatigue, many OF the French
pilgrims have gone to Naples to see
the miracle of the liquification of
the blood of San Gennaro. The
anniversary of this miracle took
place last week, but in order to
crafty curiosity it will be repeated.

New YoKK, June l3.--Attorney Gen

for Tweed, and it now rests with that
gentlemen to say what disposition should
be made of it.
Surrogate Calvin has filed his decision
sustaining the will of Mrs. BasiIica Shift,
for a long time under contest by her
grandson, Andrew Shift. Mrs. Shift held
property in Louisiana, New York and
France valued at half a million dollars,
and by her will gave the estate IN equal
shares to her six children. After the
will was drawn Mrs. Shift thought her
son Edward, who was looking after her
estates in Louisiana, had mismanaCed
her business, and had made loans on in.
sufficient securities, and caused her great
loss. The mother and son had long and
bitter litigations, and in 1869, her son
having died in the meantime, che made
a codicil to her will cutting off her
grandson, Edwards son, from any share
in her property. Her grandson was left
a fortune Of 5000, 900 by his father.
Harry Genet, who was associated
with the ring robberies and fed the town

ENRICAlNG TaE VATICAN.
The Splendid Gifts OF the Catholics
OF Both HemIspheEes 10 Plus IN.

Evening Postl
ROME, May 14.-The jubilee Of
Plus TX brings a throng Of dusty
pilgrims with staff and crook and
bag to Rome, the center Of the Ro-
man Catholic world. We who live
in the old city recognize new com
ers by their red guide-books and
their evident look of being sight
seers. They come from all nations
of the world to lay down offerings
at the feet of the Sovereign Pontiff.
Although many have arrived, and
more are expected until the Sd Of
June, which is the fftieth anniver-
sary of the Pope's conservation as a
Bishop, it ia estimated that the
number will not equal that of the
Spanish pilgrimage last autumn,
which was 1000.
The various rich and singular
gifts that the pilgrims bring to the
Pope are all to be exhibited in a
gallery of the Vatican, WHICH was
one Of the Loggie of Raphael. The
exhibition will last one month
from the Dist of May to the 21st of
June. Showers Of gold seems to
rain upon the Vatican, and all the
riches of the world and the glory Of
them are represented in these gifts,
which are humbly offered by the
faithful at the feet Of Plus TX.
There are two hundred English
pilgrims from the aristocracy,
bringing twenty thousand pounds
sterling. Americans, headed by
Archbishops Wood of Philadelphia,
Baily, of Baltimore, and the repre-.
sentative of Cardinal McCloskey
of New York, bring in all $40, 900
There is a box of unset diamonds

years, has restored one State after

sonally, almost a stranger, vet | am
received by you with open arms
and cordial greetings. Need | say
that | am grati6ed because of this
fact? 1t has more than a personal
significance. Does it not proclaim
that we entertain no sectional
political sentiment or sectional
policies? Some may think we
should have an Eastern policy,
and others hat it should be
Western, but it seems to me
that a New Yorker and an Indian
ian should understand it better than
that, and hat our legislative and
administrative policy Shoald be as
broad and comprehensive as indus
tries and trade and commerce which
it may effect. Does the trade Of the
great cities of the Atlantic stop
with the mountains? Does it not
reach beyond the Mississippi and
across the Missouri? Every new
that is built upon that reced-
ing border, every new farm that is
made far in the shadow of the
Rocky mountains, and every addi-
tional bale Of cotton hat is pro.
duced in Louisiana and Texas add
something to the greatness and
wealth of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. If there is u New
Yorker who, as he walks up and
down this great Broadway, hears
aud feels only the throbbing of a
local commerce, let such a man
break over the narrow bounds and
habits of his life, and visit the great
cotton and grain-growing sections
nor let him stop until he hears
the waves of the Pacific dashing
against the golden shores Of Cali
fornia, and he will be better able to
understand and appreciate the
magnitude and complicated rela-
lions of interests which are affected
by the financial and commercial
of the country. Successful
enterprise and development in the
part of the country are as
certainly and almost as directly con-
nected with the prosperity of this
city as are permanent and valuable

prehensive as the influence of your

Hydrophobia is a disease men
toned in a Hindoo medical work as
far back as nine or ten centuries
before the Christian era, and it
seems to be agreed that the mode of
its transmission in the vast MAORI
ty of instances is by incubation
from one animal to another. AT
the same time one of the best ac-
counts OF it was given by a physi-
clan of the seventh century, who
divides it into two varieties, viz:
that arising from incubation, al
ways fatal, and that due to nervous
irritability, capable of cure. A sim
liar distinction is now sometimes
made, particularly by French ply
sicians. This last seems to be the
theory which is applied by some
physicians to the death Of Prof. Al
yergnat, recently bitten by a dog in
Connecticut. But the question
arises, what practical difference does
it make, so long as nervous irrita-
bility cannot, in many cases, be con-
trolled, either by the patient or by
any resources within reach Of medi-
cal art =?

Annexation or Northern Mexico.

A movement is on foot, believed
to be Of a speculative character,
looking to the annexation Of the
Northern provinces of Mexico to
the United States. Parties are now
in Washington who are trying to
work up this project. 1t has been
supposed by some hal the Secre-
tary of State was favorable TO this
policy, but in conversation he de-
clared that he was opposed to it,
and could settle the trouble with
Mexico without any boundary ex-
tension.
