to believe and the moral courage to announce
that the Federal government could not limit

We understand that Judge Williams is OF

WATERMELONS AND CHOLERA
Arrest of a Negro Preacher who
had Melons under his Pulpit.


Since the advent of cholera in this
city it has held high carnival among the
negroes, which is to be attributed to their
reckless and filthy mode of living, no.
thing that they desire being too dirty or
too green for them to devour; many of
them using the bayou water for allpur-
poses. Watermelons and catfish have
been interdicted by the authorities, and
the sale of them forbidden on the streets
or markets, but the negroes go else
where and obtain them, eat and die.
One family of six negroes, on Causey
street, the other night partook of soup
made from the head of catfish, and
four of them died before noon the next
day Another darkey we heard OF,
bought three melons for fifteen cents, de-
voured them, was taken with cholera and
died in few hours, although warned by
white person of the folly of his course.
He replied by saying they were cheap,
and he would have his fill, for he had not
chance to eat as many watermelons
as be wanted since he had been free.
Yesterday negro preacher and teacher,
who holds forth near the smallpox hos
pital, was arrested for selling watermel-
ons to his pupils, four or five Of whom
had died of cholera, and search by the
police revealed seventeen melons behind
the pulpit. He was before Commissioner
Richards yesterday evening, who fined
him twenty-five dollars for the ofiense.
His name is Benjamin Gile.

MOTHER MURDERS HER

The Infant Thrown into Sink.

Information was brought TO the First

old, apparently in good health, since
which time he has not been seen alive
