The new prohibitory law in Kansas com- pels. every physician to takean oath not to prepare any article into which alcohol entere unless it is necessary for the heath of the patient, and every druggist to take a similar oath nOt to put up or sell any such article except by prescription, duly signed, of a practising physician. Under this law no one can buy spirits of camphor, cologne �r flavoring extracts except upon a physi- cian's prescription. In replying to an address made by Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the - Women's National Christian 'Temperance. \ Union, in presenting the portrait of Mrs. Hayes at ehe Executive 'Mansion, President Garfield said : What you have said evils of intemperance meets my -most hearty conciirrerice. --I have been; iu 'illy way, awl in aecordance -with my . 6 -sen convictions,. ite earnest advocate of teneperanee, not in so narrow a sense as- sin:neI e -but in &very' definite end. practical 1 sense.

Serious Riot Amongthe I Sth Moyal Irish at Aldershot., i LoNnois, March 17.—A serious riot oc- curred this afternoon at Aldeeshot. Soon after 5 o'clock a. large numbee of soldiers belonging to the 18th Royal IrSsh, together with Irishmen belonging to other corps, commenced a disturbance in $hort street, a disreputable place. They sheuted in loud tones "Hurrah for Opld Ireland," and other cries, and flourished knob sticks. They were soon joined by large numbers. It being too early for night pickets the few day provosts tried to secure some of the leading rioters, but utterly ?failed. The provosts were driven froM one end of the street to the other by the Irishmen, who armed thelbselves with sticks. The road being newly laid with gravel the rioters had plenty of ammunition. The sheuting was heard all over the town; tee mounted police galloped to the canp, and the authorities- ordered the aes mbly to be sounded in the first and 'gee nd brigades. They fell in and were immedialely marched into the town. With fixed beyonets they attacked the rioters, and broken heads and windows ensued. The proeest .marefial and field officers of the day Were on the spot. Every public house end dancing saloon was :cleared, and the rioters were taken prisoners itt great numbers. The provosts were badly tree 4. Some of the prisoners were rescued. e town was 43, in an uproar, and all the ishops were closed. The • riot lasted pearly three hours.. It is attributed to erunkenness, arising from a too free celeheation of bt. 1 Patrick's day. 134,060 men for the arney,duip,:i es, -- -.The Conneetieut Senate li givingevoneef the right to.- ineetiege; . and Allake--,:ithe :deed regiet teen will be eeisuirede ' Th eeustie bulletin sliewethe total poem- - latio f -the Un i tee States ea. 5.0452,86e; of Whic 3,401,8.7..6 are "white, ' and- 6;577451 - calor' . - The: earnaber of :Aeiaticeein - the.

PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE DRESS OF HIGHLAND REGIMENTS. The Opponents of the Innovation` Victorious. A few days ago, it wee reported in these columns that the Imperial Government intended making radical changes in the tartan dress of the Highland regiments of the army. Since then later news has been received which shows that, so far from it being the intention of the Government to do away with the distinctive clan tartans, it has been the desire of the military authorities to retain, intact, these distinc- tive features of dress, while at the same time conforming as closly as possible to the linked battalion scheme. A couple of weeks ago the following petition was pre- sented to Mr. Childers, the Secretary for War, by a deputation consisting of the Duke of Sutherland, The Mackintosh, and Mr. H. Wright. The number of signatures was stated to be 16,000: To the Right Hon. Hugh CullingEardley Childers, M. P.: We, the undersigned, humbly petition that the tartan dress hitherto worn by the various Highland regiments, distinctive of the districts where they were raised, and in which dress they have fought with honor and glory, be not changed, believing that such distinctive tartans do but add to the espirit de corps, and that such changes as are contem- plated are, contrary to the spirit and instincts of the true Highlander. Mr. Childers replied as follows, by letter: Gg.STLEMEN,—The petition which you have • done me the honor to hand to me deserves all respect and attention. . -But I take this opportunity, the 'first which has presented itself to me, to state to you, and thrieugh you to those who take an •interest in the 'subject of your petition, that: the main -designs apparently attributed to us in con- nection with- the uniforms of -Highland regiments have no foundation whateeer lin fact. It has never been my weal Or intens tion either to abolish distinctive teataneor to substitute new-fanglee patterns for -the clan tartans new in vogue, end, -emit of all, to diminigh the number of - regiments wearingthe kilt On the :conteery, I knew enougheof Scotland, and especially of gigh- lenders, to wish to see the number of battalione Wearhig these picturesque and popeilak uniforme increased ; and -whatever may have been the cilia in past times, When - frequent changee in tartans took place, I: Ain Anxious to avoid perpetual alterations . . - in the dress of the army, which, for the "most e peat, only ratite in the benefit. of Whirs., But when it became necessary to • consider whether larger regiments shotild. not be substituted e for the inconvenient linked battalion seetem now In :force, we . consulted the colonels of the Scotch. eggi- monis in. order to see bow, Without making unnecessary .-changes, regiments with the r- saine.ueiforms Might be formed Out of the sexistieg battalions, and I am happy to say thatewheri your meeting was recently hold, - -we had arrie'ed IA. 'satisfactory conclusions with; respect to all but two regiments. I. - hope; when I move the estimates next week, te) be able to state; that we have- reaehed a complete solution - of • this intri- cate question,- but, meanwhile, / am gled. to be able to give these assurances to you and those whom you represent - From the above it will at once be seen that a Complete misconception of the i Gov- ernment'sintention hasarieeninthe minds of Scotehrnen."
