the public health of New Orleans better than it is
at present, and were it not that the cholera seems
to be making its periodical tour over the globe,
no fault would be found with the condition of the
city in regard to hygienic police. Whether the
noisome accumulations Of large city promote
health, as the late DR.. Mcfarland strenuously ar
gued in his time, whether they insaubrious,
as the vast majority of the faculty contend, is
question too occult for mere laymen, and must
therefore be left to the faculty. We have an idea
however, that our senses are given to as senti-
nels of health, and that whatever is offensive to
the taste smell is not good maugre the fact that
much physc is offensive to either BOTH and con-
fess ourselves advocates of clean streets and pur
fed premises. In this matter, the public may be
assured that so soon as our efficient street commas
sioner has his Office well in hand nothing will be
neglected in his department to secure the comfort
and welfare of the people.
So far as precautionary means may avail to pre-
vent the visitation apprehended from the cholera,
the military authorities cannot be accused of ne
glect. The stringent quarantine against the West
India ports argues much concern for our safety.
In this as in other cases. however, sceptcism as to
human knowledge cannot be regarded as an
| objectionable increduty. When Sir Thomas
Moore was commissioned by his Majesty, Henry
the Eighth to ascertain the practicability ofremoV-
| ing the Instructions to navigation caused by the
Goodwin sands, in the discharge Of his duty, Sir
1 Thomas sought the Oldest man at the place and
asked him if he recoliected when those sands first
| appeared Well, master, I don't recollect ever no
ticng them until the steepe was put on yon church,"
was the answer. Perhaps there was as much con-
nection between the building Of the steeple and
the appearance of the sands, as between many
other pairs Of Simultaneous events learnediy
argued bear to each other the relation OF cause
and effect. But sick mankind will seek the medi-
cal experiment, and fearful mankind will clamor
for the legal experiment If the sick man gets
WE'LL it proves the physc cured him; if the cholera
or yellow fever does not come, it proves the quar-
antine stayed them, and, when the steeple was
built therefore the sands came. While there is
reason to complain that the quarantine established
at Southern ports is injurious to our commerce,
and that the military do not extend their Jurisdlc-
ton in this matter to Northern ports, we may con-
gratalate ourselves that the cent9lization of au'
thority results in such discriminating regard for the
+ health of the South.
