The EPIDEMIC AT New ORLEANS
The True Delta of the 9th says:

The EPIDEMIC AT New ORLEANS
The True Delta of the 9th says:
On Sunday and yesterday there was
much excitement throughout the city in
relation to the shameless exp sure oI
large numbers of uninterred bodies in
many of the cemeteries, particularly in
the Lafayette cemetery, in the Fourth
District, where some sixty-odd cofins
were. it is said, on Sunday afternoon,
scattered indiscriminately in and around
the graveyard, and undergoing rapid
decomposition. The laborers employed
to dig the graves struck for higher wa
ges, and subsequently refused to work
for any price. The negroes of the chain
gang were next pressed into service, and
they, when night approached, ceased
their labors. At this stage of the af-
fair, Mr.. Kursheedt, one of the most in
defatigable members of the Board of
Health, assisted by few others, sue
ceeded, by holding out the inducement
of liberal pay, and furnishing the ne
groes with such eatables and drinkables
as they thought proper to call for, in
getting them to resume work.
The excitement caused by the state
of affairs at the Lafayette cemetery
was much increased by the report that
in Potter's Field the old system of dig
ging graves was abandoned as obsolete,
and number of horses and plows were
set to work to furrow the field; that the
collins were placed in the burrows ledge
ways, we suppose, and partially COW
cred with the plow, as farmer would
a ridge of sweet potatoesl There was,
no doubt, much exaggeration in these
reports.
The Delta, in its evening edition of the
same day, says:
ALL BURIED.-We learned last even
ing that sufficient number of men had
been employed during the day to get all
the bodies in all the cemeteries under
ground. For several days previous bod
les had been accumulating at SO rapid a
rate, that graves could not be furnished
for them at nightfall, and until the next
morning they remain by dozens in the
graveyards, unburied, tainting the air
for rods around with pestilential odors.
On Sunday evening the number of the
unburied was greater than ever, though
the chain gang had been employed du-
ring the day in the digging of graves.
Five dollars per hour were offered, but
even at that rate men could not be en-
ployed, for the swollen dead were burst
ing their coffin lids, and the stencil was
sickening in the extreme. 1t is, more
over, common complaint that the
graves are not dug anything like the re-
quired depth, and that the thin, eartben
covering is not sufficient to prevent the
escape of foul gases from the decom-
posing dead.
Among the deaths announced in the
New Orleans papers are Miss Appolina
Ludlum, the guitarist, and Mrs. Sarah
E. Fisher. late of Lexington, KY
Some of the most eminent physicians

seventv-five of the revised statutes,
until he shall have been imprisoned
under such commitment sixty days. In
all cases under this act in which the
nunishment on the first conviction Is
thirty days imprisonment, for the
second and every subsequent conviction

any mayor, alderman, selectman or as
SCISSOR, shall endorse his approval Of the
suit upon any writ issued pursuant to
the provisions of this act or that to
which it is additional, in which his city,
town or plantation is interested, the de-
fendant, if he prevail in such suit, shall
recover no costs. All bonds and re-
cognizances given by the appellants
shall be to the State of Maine, except
as otherwise provided in this and said
act. All the provisions of the fifth,
seventh, ninth, tenth, sixteenth and
seventeeth sections Of the act to which
this is additional, shall apply to this act.
In all cases of appeal from the judg-
ment of Judge of municipal or

the appellant, if convicted by the jury.
shall be sentenced to pay and suffer the
same fines, penalties and imprisonment
which might be awarded against him

fore a jury, from that provided upon
conviction before a municipal or police
court or justice of the peace for the
same offence And also so much of
said sixth section as provides that in
cases of an appeal the appellant shall,
before such appeal be allowed, recognize

costs, fines and penalties that may be
awarded against him, is hereby re-
pealed; and if any person shall claim
an appeal as specified in said section,
the judge or justice shall grant his ap-
peal, and order him to recognize in the
sum of one hundred dollars, with suf-
fcient sureties, for his appearance, and
for prosecuting his appeal; and he shall
also give bond as therein provided.
Sections eleven, twelve, thirteen, four
teen and fifteen of the act to which this
is additional, are hereby repealed,
saving all suits pending, and all rights
acquired under the same; and all acts
and parts of acts inconsistent with this
act arc hereby repealed.

~Saleratus is said to be Injurious
to the human system, and that it de-
stroys thousands of children and some
adults every year. The evil is fast
spreading through the Union. Fami-
lies of moderate size already use from
ten to twenty-five pounds yearly. What
is saleratus? Wood is burnt to ashes.
Ashes are lixiviated-lye is the result.
Lye is evaporated by boiiing-black
salts are the residium. The salts un-
dergo a publication by fire, and the pot
ash of commerce is obtained. By an
other process, we change the potash in
to pearlash. Now put this into sacks,
and place them over distillery wash
tub, where the fermentation evolves car
bonic acid gas, and the pearlash absorbs
and renders it solid, the product being
heavier, dryer and whittier than the
pearlash. 1t is now saleratus. How
much salts of lye and carbonic acid can
human stomach bear and remain heal
thy, is question for the saleratus eat
ers.-Bdltimore Sun.

went in, as they supposed about two
miles, when they came to a pit which
they could not pass for the want of q
ladder, but they saw that the cave ex-
tended beyond. While travelling the
two miles, they discovered, eight or ten
branches leading off in different direc-
tons, some of them apparently larger
than the direct avenue. A petrifed
monkey, as perfect in shape as if it were
alive, was found in the cave some weeks

BROWNS ESSENCE OF
Jamaica Ginger.

THIS Essence is warranted to possess, in a
l concentrated form, all the valuable properties
of Jamaica Ginger, and will be found, on trial,
an excellent Family Medicine. tits particu-
larry recommended as a tonic, to persons re
covering from fever or other diseases, few
drops imparting to the stomach glow and
vigor equal to wine -glassful Of brandy or other
stimulant, without any Of the debilitating
effects which are sure to follow the use Of liquor
of any kind; and it is therefore especially SER
viceable to children and females. To the aged
il will prove great comfort; to the dispeptie,
and to those who are predisposed to gout or
rheumatic affections, it gives great relief; and
to the inebriate who wishes TO reform, but
whose stomach is constantly craving the noxious
liquor, it is misunderstanding tone TO the
digestive organs, and strength to resist tempta-
tion; and is consequently great agent in
the cause Of temperance.
