MORTUARY POSTERS,

| Older persons than welt is not pleas
ant to suggest younger-may remember
that once on time there were no papers
in New Orleans, but the Bee, Courier and
Louisiana Advertiser, all published in
French and English, during the winter
daily, and semi-occasionalIy in fy-time.
And earlier, in imnemorial times, there
were none published in English, nor any
| daily, SO that they over whose thresholds
came the mortuary king, were compelled
to announce the event by means of
posters on the walls, fences, lamp-posts
and other available places-as is. done
now. Done, it may be, unmindfully of the
change of situation, or, it may be, from the
force with which custom naturalzes itself
in mind, or, as is to be hoped not, from a
morbid tendency to make stroke of i'm
mortality conspicuous for day, which is
perhaps only admissible as conjecture.
1t might be no editorial business of any
journal to refer to this custom without
some grounds of pretext that it does hurt.
1t is thus We justify this article. In ordi-
nary seasons, when death is not an
engrossing subject of thought in a commu-
nity-post; it exeites no attention and no
one is although the question
remains, cui bono? But if the public mind
during an epidemic be agitated by daily
mortuary statistics, injudiciously published
oy authority, sanitary committee being
constituted for the accurate commission Of
such lndiscretion, then, we say, posting
adds to the disorder, and like a ghost on a
highway in the dead Of night, inspires a
fatal fear. Minds fearful of contagion NAV
escape newspaper obituaries and health
reports by avoiding newspapers, but there
is no escape from the persistent placard.
posted at exactly dead level with YOUR
organs of visions, upon every awning,
lamp or other post where you mostly

lence and sense of nothing to do or think
OF Expresses you.
1t is pity that the laws governing life
and death are not regarded with at least
the interest of those regulating larceny.
Yet it is SO, even among men who never
expect to steal, and are fit subjects for
mortuary rights in times Of pesilence. If
the means of contagion were learned, the
stadent would either conquer or avoid
them. The psychological laws. # life are
as easily acquired as the civil law; the re-
lations OF mind and body are of deeper in
terest and of less intricacy than those of
debtor and cre1ior. Why not legislate
this study into the public schools, 60 that
our posterity may be educated up to the,
point Of dispensing with mortuary posters.

crossing the Atchafalaya river near Nor

will be fifteen or twenty miles. The object
of General Corse's visit to Opelousas, was to
make arrangements for the construction of
branch road from this point to Opelousas.
He proposes, for his company, to build this
branch, if st. Laudry parish will give them
bonus Of $4,000, payable in twenty years,
bearing eight per cent per annum interest

bonds for Sl50,00O are not to be delivered

OUR LATE STATE FAIR.

1t is to be regretted that the machinery
annually sent to our fair, for competition,
is not subjected 10 practical tests and the
results made known as guide for future
advancement, as it is alone by such prac-
teal and thorough tests that true merit
can ever be ascertained and meet its re-
ward. Too often good machine is passed
over and the reward of merit bestowed
upon rival whose only claim is lavish
display Of paint and polish. 1t is to be
hoped that in our future fairs this subject
will receive greater share Of attention,
and some plan be inaugurated whereby
boilers, engines, and other machinery,
may be fairly tested as to their merits, and
awarding committees appointed because of
their knowledge and means to give the
duties of the position their whole atten-
ton during the time of the fair. The
practice of merely passing among the ex-
hibitors and listening to their explanations
and laudations like other visitors,
and making up their reports from
these data alone, is neither just
to the public nor the exhibitor.
The planter, and those who use the
steam engine, wish to know which is the
most economical of the boilers and en-
gines on exhibition, and gives the maai-
mann amount of power for the minimum
amount Of fuel; and so of all machinery
and apparatuses which come into general
use. This can only be ascertained by
practical test
The practice at our fairs of beginning to
make the awards on the first day is i'm
polite, to say the least, as we'll as very
annoying to the awarding committees.
No award should be made until the last
lay of the fair. This will give the COM
nittees time to render just decision in |
III cases, and they will escape all those |
personal opportunities and annoyances to |
which they are subjected as soon as the |
wards are made. Members OF committees
re often painfully aware of injustice be-
ng done by their hasty and early decisions;
'ut the rules and regulations admit of no
consideration.
