The EPIDEMIC AT NEW ORLEANS. We
Copy the following from the New Orleans Delta of

The bills Of mortality tell their own story-and
irlghtiul one il is. When we remember that hall
the unacclimated have left the city, and that this
CLASS OIL our population is reduced TO probably less
than nifty thousand souls, daily record of over ono
hundred deaths is rightul thing to contemplate
From the evidence before US, we conclude that
the fever is gradually widening its area. Ii is now
to be encountered wherever the unacclimated abound
though most OF the fatal cases occur in the Third
and Fourth districts. 1t cannot continne much lon
ger at the pitch Of intensity which now marks 1T
Every day Witnesses the departure Of hundreds
whom terror at the unparalleled mortality drives
away. In few days, all who are not seasoned 10
the climate, and who can possibly quit the city, will
have lett The pestilence must then abate for want
OF iuel. There is another chance for us. Epdem-
les invariably run certain course They have
their periods OF commencement, increase, climax
and gradual decline and disappearance. They last
from six to nine weeks. Already the fever has been
amongst US since the beginning ofJuy il not earIier
we therefore feel moderate confidence that will

"Ihe sickness commenced in the outskirts of the
city, aud has now worked its way into The very
centre. 1t was never known 10 be so fatal as this

Recommendations for The President.-The

as the Secretary of Legation; Mike Walsh as
Charge to Vienna, and Yankee Sullivan for the
COmmssiOnershIp TO Constantinope. The Sc
leclions are consistent with the exception of
Walsh, who we think man Of too much charac-
ter and ability, to serve in the connection.

made efforts to pull it from her neck, and her son

"This is what may, with the greatest proprieiy,

their minds to stand, they themselves express 1t,
no nonsense, come from what quarter it may. They
are deter mined to make themselves respected IN all

WATER THROUGH LEAD PIPEs.-.We are
frequently told Of the deleterious effect upon the
system, of water which passes through lead
pipe, but only occasionally ale we made sensible
of the extent of the danger Several days ago, a
gentleman living few miles out of the city,
caught couple of trout and placed them in a
trough, the water of which was supplied through
a lead pipe, intending TO keep them there. In
less than three hours they were both dead. Sus-
plcous Of the reason of this sudden death, he de-
termined to make another trial, and placed in the
trough another trout. The same result followed
in less time. and he made third experiment
The result still the same, and he considers it
a settled fact that trout, native of the pnre,
sparkling stream, cannot live in lead impregna-
ted water. If such water is poisonous enough to
kill fishes, it cannot be without its destructive eff
fects upon the human system..-Jhanchester (.N

The above paragraph reminds us of some
minutes of a conversation with Dr. c. L. Jack
of Boston, which we have had in our possess
sion for some time. The substance of what DR..
jackson said was as follows-premising that DR..
]. is eminent chemist, and that the conversa-
ton was held with the editor of one of the Agri-
cultural papers,
Dr. Jackson said he had examined the subject
thoroughly, and more than hundred cases could
be named IN which poisoning was evidently pro-
duced by the use of lead pipes for conveying
water.
Some waters from the mineral substances they
contain will conode lead much faster than Others
tie named one case in this city in which the wa
ter eat up the pipe in two years. On inquiring
he found that the family had been much afflicted
with the collie. He asked the family physician
what be supposed allied them, and be said that 1t
seemed like poisoning by lead, but he had exam
med the cooking utensils and that did not appear
to be the cause.
DR.. J. mentioned another case in which a fam
lily was poisoned by water from lead pipes, and
the maid who was in the habit of taking drink
OF water from the pnmp every morning was the
most affected. Many persons fill their lea-ketes
in the morning from water that has stood all night
in leaden pipes.
= The foregoing statements are sufficient to put
every one on the watch. Great caution is need

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN Information of a very
interesting character, and apparently authentic
mas recently been received by Government which
may turn out to be Of great Importance, as bear
ing ON the fate Of the missing Arctic Expedition
under Sir John Franklin. 1t is 60 the effect that
intelligence has been conveyed to the Russian
Government at st. Petersburg that several Of
what are called glass balls, have been found by
tne natives, at the mouth OF the river Obi, which
falls into the Afctic Sea, in lat 70 North The
RUSSIAN authorities transmitted this information
without delay, to our Foreign office, and re-
guest has been despatched that some of the glass
balls lmore probably bottles) may be- if possible
secured and transmitted to England. The local
NY OF where these balls, or bottles, are said to
have been found, is precisely that to which they
would probably have driftcd had they been thrown
over or otherwise detached from Franklins ships
IN case they had attained high northern latitude,
Tor the current of the Arctic Ocean sets along the
Siberian, towards the European coast, as is evil
denced by the great mass Of drift wood found on
the shore, but II would nevertheless, be prema-
ture, TO conclude that these glass bottles are relics
OF this long missing expedition.-London paper.
