ToBAcco AND MPs-The Desha
(Ark, News gives the following account
of internal revenue operations in that
quarter:
Considerable excitement has been ere
ated in the lower portion of our county,
during the past week, by the arrest, By
officers of the internal revenue, of some
of our most honorable and respectable
citizens. Some weeks since small
trading boat, containing corn and to-
bacco, arrived at the mouth Of Cypress
creek. Not being able TO proceed up
the creek with the boat, skiff was loaded
with tobacco, and under control of some
of the hands, was sent up the creek on a
trading tour Disposing readily Of their
cargo, they returned to the boat and Sc
cured another load. They continued
thus to dispose of several skiff loads, ex-
tending their route to Red Fork bayou,
Amos bayou, Doggy bayou, and the sur
rounding country. They we're per-
haps four or five weeks in the county
trading around, but no notice whatever
was taken by the officers Of the internal
revenue until the next day after the boat
had departed from Cypress creek. They
then pouneed down on the innocent pur-
chasers. We are not acquainted with
the officers of the internal revenue, and
don't want to be; but candor compels us
TO admit that circumstances tend very
strongly TO implicate them as being par
ties to . most outrageous and villainons
fraud. The parties arrested were fined
from ten to fifty dollars, in addition to
having the tobacco, purchased and paid
for, confscated. Since the arrest of the
parties mule was sold on Amos bayou,
and the purchaser insisted on the party
selling putting a stamp on his tail i.1

Little is to be gained in this respect by
using the pure acid. Attempts have been
made to destroy the odor of the carbolic

For the removal of bad odors We have
several very efficient and simple agents.
Cotton or linen rags or brown paper
slowly burned that is, consumed without
fame, give off an empyreumatic vapor
that very effectually destroys or over
powers most bad doors. We have found
it especially effcacious in the case of
ammoniacal odors, and we. therefore, at
tribute its action to the presence of pyro-
acetic acid. Coffee subjected to the
same process is one of the most agreea-
BILE and efficient of our deodorizers. Not
only is there the usual empyreumatic
products which would tend to modify the
vapors producing the odor, but there is
an essential oil Of agreeable aroma, and
this tends still further to mask or cover
up all bad smells.

But whatever may be the mode in
which carbolic acid acts, it is certain
that in order to do any good it must be
brought in contact with the matter to be
destroyed, and this may be accomplished
by using the substance either as liquid,
solid, or vapor In all ordinary
cases Of disinfealion, it is in the latter
form that carbolie acid is used, aud con-
sequently, the best mode Of csusiugit to
yaporize is in general the most efficient
method Of using it as disinfectant.
Carbolic acid readily passes off in Eapor
at ordinary temperatures. and this is
particularly the case when il is largely
mixed with water A weak solution Of
earbolie acid eopiously sprinkled over
the vicinity Of cess-pOOls soon destroys
all odor.

HEALTH


I
The want Of water-works and of a sys
tenn of public sewerage in this city rem
ders il necessary for every housekeepel
to know something about deodorizers ans
disinfectants, and how to use them oil
their premises during the summer season
The Scientific Journal gives us some in
formation on this matter which we tax,
the liberty of using ad Rbitum. There
are many deodorizers, but only two OF
three efficient disinfectants.
OFFENSIVE ROOM.
Take the case of room, the atmos-
phere of which has been exposed to the
effluvia arising from sick person. The
odor may be very offensive, but the pecu-
fiar vapors to which the odor is due may
not really be the dangerous portion of
the effluvia. A room in such condition
may be offensive, but it may not be ac-
tually more dangerous than it was while
merely infected with the products Of
respiration proceeding from the lungs Of
the sick person.
DANGEROUS ROOM.
A house perftmed with the aroma of
boiled cabbage, or with the peculiar odor
of the little animal known as the Me-
phitis Americana, would be exceedingly
unpleasant; but in neither case would it
be dangerous, while house might smell
very sweetly, and yet be nearly filed with
the infection of smallpox The truth is,
that while in some cases our senses are
very safe guides, in others they are any
thing but trustworthy. ua
