The Lamp Of Life.

The Living Man is q Lamp. The
Flame Is Lilo, GOd.enkindled, lambert
browning this so mysterious Lamp with
Its marvellous beauty The Oil Of this
Lamp, moreover,-to descend again to a
somewhat lower region,-is Food. And
as, in the Lamp, abundant Oil makes a
bright light, and deficient Oh makes q
dulllight, so In the Human Body, abin.
dant Food makes deficient health. And
as, In the Lamp, If the wick have need Of
trimming, the Flame is feeble and i'm.
perfect; SO also, in the Body, if the Dlges-
tive System, (which receive and trans.
forms the Food, as tho Wick receives
and TRANSFORMERS the OiI,-7) If this be not
working Alright, life is feeble and imper-
iect. For Food without sound Digestion,
Is as Improbable as Oil without sui.
ticient Wick. But how, then, shall we
trim the Wick OF this Human Lamp?

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-13
Very respectfully,
ALFRED w. PERRY, NJ. D.,
Sanitary TnsDectOI


Immediately upon reading the astound
ing developments in the Pieayone, we dis
patched two reporters to make an examin-
alton of the pound, and to inquire specially
into the historyof the other circumstances.
The result is as follows:
We found it under the direction of AID
ministratOr Lewis, and not Mr.. Cockrem.
The indictment against the latter gentle.
man must fail, therefore, for want of the
proper parties.
One small she-goat was found on the
premises and no other animal of any kind.
The grounds are as clean and habitable as
! any that surround the pound. There is an
old tumble-dOwn cotton picHery used for
stabling horses and cows, when they have
any, but few of these animals ever come
into the inclosure, but inside it was dry and
clean. There was no pile of manure in
sight, nor any signs that there ever had
been. The floor of the cotton pickery is
carefully cleaned every morning and the
refuse hauled away by the city carts. The
lot for the herding of cattle is covered with
a luxuriant crop of grass, which cOrrobO-
rates the statement of the assistant pound
Keeper that they never have more than
two or three animals at a time, and often
are several days, without any at all. The
greatest nuisance to the Kendall property
is the privy on the premises, which always
wanted cleaning. One of the tenants
who signed the above certificate, left the
premises for an entirely different reason
than the one assigned, but which it is not
necessary for US to state.
Now as to the deceased family. 1t APP
pears that the pound had very little to do
with that melancholy history. The wife
and mother did not live with her husband
and children, but died elsewhere two or
three years ago. The father did, however.
gotO Havana, leaving two young children
without parental care, and while he was
absent they died. But their death is trace
able to causes entirely different from the
one assigned.
There is place fronting on BaroBne
street, whore some mules are kept. The
stable and back yard adjoin the pound
grounds. We noticed pile Of old lumber
and manure on that lot, which DR.. Perry
may have taken to belong to the pound, but
! it does not. The neighbors declare there
has not been death Of any kind on the
whole square for the past year. And while
they would be glad to have the pound re-
moved to another place, they declared that
they did not suffer any great Inconvenience
from it.
So much for this great nursery Of disease,
this deathdealing nuisance, which is to be
made the ground for suit for damages
against the city.

MURDER AND RoBBERY.-Early yester-
day morning Benjamin Humphrey was
found on his fatboat, at upper post thirty
two, his skull crushed in, apparently by a
blunt weapon. Suspicion at once rested on
a man who had been employed on the fat
at the pumps. Thursday he had been paid
off by Humphrey for weeks work, the
latter showing a roll of money at the time,
which attracted the mans attention, and it
proves his name is David Norman alias
Williams. That night David remained on
the boat until near dark, and then said, as
it was SO late, he would not 60 away. He
laid down as if to sleep, and they were the
only persons on the fat. When, yesterday
morning, Humphreys condition was dis
covered, David had disappeared. The half
murdered man was sent to the Charity Hos.
pital, but there is a poor chance for him to
recover, as his skull is fractured in two or
three places. When found, he was near
the edge of the boat, and slight move
ment would have sent him into the river
He is from Kentucky. The police lost no
time in hunting up the supposed criminal
and Sergeant BahDcke, with Officer Mem
tee, found him at the corner Of Baronne and
Melpomene streets. Some money was found
on him.
