A New Vice.

:
A number of persons more or less
prominent in different walks of life
have died in this city within a few
months from the direct effect, it is
said, of 'hypodermic injections of
morphine. The effect of morphine
under the skin is described as pecu-
liarly and wonderfully agreeable.
A delicious langnor steals. over the
frame, the senses are wrapped as in
o voluptuous waking dream, and q
most joyous consciousness of perfect
vet fascinating repOse softly over
flows the mind. Even strong men
and women have frequently found
it hard to resist its allurements, and
have not been able to resist its beati-
tudes without arousing all their will.
On this account some physicians
will not administer or prescribe
morphine under any circumstances,
fearing the consequences to their
patients. Not few women of the
finer type have been wrecked by the
habit, and many men, professional
and commercial, are steadily running
themselves y-its indulgence. II
was hailed as great blessing once,
and so II is, properly regulated /; but,
like so many blessings, il may readily
be converted into a curse.-Ne,c
York Times 1"asa

-EX-A assistant Ostmaster-G eneral
Brady is said to have cleared $780,
900 in stock operations since he left
the department. This is probably as
good thing as star routes, but not
quite so sure. Brady's friends are
thanking heaven for the Conkling
kick-up. The papers are so full of
it that Brady gets a rest, for time
at least.
"A gentleman connected with the
appraisers department at New York
and a prominent Conkling Republi-
can, is quoted as having said Thurs
day that Senator Conkling had been
offered $4,000 year to connect his
name as a partner with a law firm
in New York city, and that he had
announced his intention of accepting
the offer.
Sarah Bernhardt landed at
Havre on the 10th, where a huge
crowd of her admirers, $4,000 at
least, according to one estimate, as
sembled to greet her. Among them
stood a deputation of the gallant life
boat men, for whose benefit Sarah is
to play in Havre, and a number
of journalists and artists from Paris.
Sarah was much affected. She al
ways was.

Burial of q Seaman.

At Annapolis, Sunday afternoon, a
seaman named Henry Jones was buried
at the Naval Academy Cemetery with
full naval honors He had seen many
years of service in the Navy. At one
time he, with others, was cast away on
a raft without provisions and hundreds
of miles from land. At the last it was
agreed that they should draw lots to see
who should be the first to die that the
others might have food The lot was
cast not only once but twice, and tn"
human bodies were deNoured until only
two were lett-JoueS and his companions
As they were abont TO decide which of
them should be sacrificed the Sandwich
Islands were sighted and their lives were
saved. This story is well authenticated
by those who have known Jones all his
life, but only when he wasin his cups
would he ever refer to it or consent I"

There will be warm weather just fol-
