A EerOci0nS Alligator.

In the Norman river, Australia, the
alligators are so numerous and daring
that they will not leave the steamers
path until they are actually disturbed
by the motion of the floats. AS the
steamer Pioneer WAS on its voyage, a
Kanaka belonging to the vessel was
standing on the margin of the river
unfastening rope, when he was charged
by one of these terrible saurians. The
people on board who saw the danger
cried out to alarm the man ; but before
he could make his escape the alligator
seized him by the thigh. The unfor-
tunate man threw his arm round some
mangroves, and SO held on until assist
ance came from the steamer. Six men
quickly seized him, and then there was
horrible trial of strength between
human muscles and the jaws of the alli-
gator, The captain struck the brute a
blow on the head with an axe, which
forced him to let go his hold, and the
victim was dragged away. The ealligator,
however, made another charge up the
bank, but was repelled with difficulty by
repeated blows of the axe. The poor
Kanaka's leg was taken off below the
knee. Medical assistance was near at
hand, but the excessive loss of blood
rendered recovery hopeless. The man
died within fifteen minutes after he had
reached the doctors dispensary.

MOrDhiOmania,

Morphionania has become a great
scourge in Berlin since the introduction
of opium injections as relief from bod
lily suffering and sleeplessness. Trades
people, merchants, judges, barristers,
soldiers, students, doctors and clergy
men become the victims of the habit,
and when the medical attendants are
called in it is too late to counteract the
evil. At first, these sub-cutaneous in-
jections offer the quickest and easiest
means to allay pain and bring rest to the
sufferer. Butt to prove effectual in it's
cure, the treatment must be continued
for q certain time; and during that
period the patient becomes so accustom-
ed to these skin injections that they
become indispensable. When the medi-
cal practitioner refuses to increase the
doses, the patient unable to sleep or
rest withoub the calming injection, pro.
cures the necessary instruments and ap.
plies the remedy himself. Sometimes,
also, even after the patient has been
cured without any undue doses, and
when he should dispense with the opium
injections, he delays doing so under the
plea that they make sleep and rest SO
we'll. In fact, when once these sub.
cutaneous injections have begun, they
can rarely be left off. Like drink, the
appetite for them increases until chronic
drunkenness ensues,

News Notes from Oonalaskas Shores.
San Francisco, Jan. GA Victoria
dispatch says that the steamer California
has arrived there from Wrangel and
Sitka. The people of Sitka are in fear
from want of protection from the Gov
ernment. The Sitka and Hutzinn In
dams were at war when the steamer
arrived, but ceased hOstilities while she
lay there. They commenced again as
soon as she left. Large numbers were
seen assembling in war paint.
The Indians are destroying many
government and other buildings which
are empty, and the people are not
strong enough to prevent them.
Quartz lodes at Sitka prospect well,
but as yet there has been no bona ide
effort to develop them. Mr.. Dennis,
U. S. custom-house officer at Wrangel,
has made raid on the Hootzmoo
whisky makers, both Indians and
white men. He discovered and de-
stroyed 21 stills, some with whisky,
and much material for making more.

The Senate committee on Military

of an additional article of war. 1t was
made the special order for the next
