The streets are clean, anu we are
pleased 10 see that each citizen takes
pride Ii giving that attention to their
private dwellings, SO necessary to keep
the atmosphere pure and free from
loxio,,s grasses. Our elevated loca-
tion--iree from marshy pools, and the
attention given TO shrubbety and shade
trees render it impossible, we think, for
prestilence 10 lay bold Of Us. In 1898
when The fever prevailed in this city
with such fatality, IT was owing to the
presence Of large number Of unac-
climated spaniards who came to
Louisiana to escape the terror Of the
Mexican Revolution Of that period.
There are no local causes to render
Baton Rouge unhealthy at this season.
and the people are not SO hudaled to
uether, a. 10 render a mere fever. either
epidemiral Of contagious.
Every one Of our citizens should
stand firm during The coming month.
and If any poor and friendless strangers
are thrown amongst lis sick, every at
tention should be given to them as
an act Of selfprotection # not charity.
The low doggeries from which the
poisonous diseases, moral and physical
invafiable proceed, first; should be
closed, If it is possible to do so, for the
very germ Of contagion is kept alive
by them.
fF-I1is Honor the Mayor informs
liz. that there are several miserable
lazy drunken dogs, in our city at pres
ent, who have broug hit families here to
be supported by charity, whilst they
lay drunk ut the doggeries. For such
beasts there is no sympathy here, and
they cannot be expected to share the
public charity extended to their desti
tute wives aud children. II poisonous
whiskey will not kill them. We advise
them to get sober enough to blow
their brains out. for the benefit of
society.
New BANK BiLLs.--We noticed
yesterday the AuplroH in his Of.
tiee buisily engaged in coun.ersigning
according to law, a small avalanche Of
Eve dollar bills---say 10000 Of the de.
nomination Of V. $4,000. They are
for the Bank Of New Orleans an
establishment that will be In full blast
this winter. The bills ate very hand
aomelv engraved with appropriate de-
vices and will no doubt pass well, for
the bonds Of the State are pledged to
pay them, aud the State will be able to
pay her bopds.some.of.these days, II
she il not now.
There liz only one objection to these
bills and that IL the quality Of the
paper As this Is the principal cost
Of getting up bills after the plates
are engaved--we the people should
require better paper; however. rather
than be factious we will say nothing
The Bank il based upon Democratic
principles and the paper Ia good
enough.

Mr.. HART, THE AMERICAN ScuLPToR.-A
letter from Florence thus speaks of MIR. Hart,
and the Statue Of Mr.. Clay, which he is engaged
upon:
''Mr. Hart is engaged upon the statue of Mr..
Clay for the ladies of Virginia. The study for
the statue has caught the great orator in one Of
the pauses between his paragraphs, when, with
the head erect, and proudly conscious of his
power to fascinate and control by his magic
tongue, he is about to pour forth another tide OF
eloquence into the ears of his eager auditors 1t
is difficult to conceive of faithful and ex-
act transcript of Mr.. Clay's attitude and manner
in speaking, and little is wanting to bring him
again before the heholder, but the tones of that
voice, which no one can forget who ever heard
it. am persuaded the work will be worthy of
the great original, and of any age of art. He
has upon the stand, also, an ideal female bust,
which, he informs me, is intended as present to
the generous ladies' who favored hjal in selecting
their sculptor for the Clay statue. b represents
Grefincarnate, mourning for the nations loss, in
the death of the great statesman. There is
something like divinity itself in the exquisite
beauty of the lines and features of that sad face;
plainly indicating that when the artist chooses to
abandon the actual for the IDEAL he is certain of
attaining rare success"
