And covered DER his head,
When countless stars appeared anna

The moon arose, most molherly,

How all the stars behaved, while he,

Though silent ALL to her they Secmd,
ASH they'd much TO say;

The sleeping king OF light,
She rose 50 high that her mild eyes
Could keep them all IN sight
The stars abuShed, stole softly bark,
And looked serene and prim;
Until the moon began to nod.
Her eyes becoming dim;
Then slcepily she sought her home,
Thot'S somewhcre--who knows where"
But as siic went the playful stars,
Commenced their twinkling glare
And when the moon was fairly gone,
The imps with sivery eyes,
Had so much fun 1t woke the sun,
Aud he began to rise;
lie rose in glory From his eyes,
Sprnug forth newborn day,
Before whose brightness all the stars,
Ran hurledly away. - =

One of the largest funeral professions
our city has known tor years was that which
accompanied the remains of the late Hugh
McCloskey TO their resting place on the
ridge. The Catholic clergy were present
in great force. The remains were taken
from the late residence Of thd deceased to
the Church OF the Immaculate Conception,
on Baronne street, where the funeral ser
vices were held. Thence the body was
escorted 20 the grave by Branch No. ) and
Robert Emmett Branch No. II of the HI
bernian Brotherhood the Hugh McCloskey
Guards, and she Citizens Committee OF
Two Hundred, Of all of which organizations
deceased was an hOnOred member. The
Hibernia Insurance Company, of which Mr..
NcCloskey was the first president, and now
a director, closed it's Office early in the day
10 permit its employees TO attend the iu-
neral. The Hibernia Bank, OF which he
was q director, did the same. Tie funeral
escort was nearly a mile in length, and
| and many of our prominent public men
Joined in the solemn train. Prominent
| among those rendering tribute to the virtues
of the deceased we observed Collector
Casey and Deputy Collector Crawford, OF
! the New Orleans CustomEeuse.

The sIpaiI-P0x Epide8ic.

Baltimore has been suffering terribly
with the small poI scourge. Over seven
hundred deaths have occurred in the last
month, and there are now thirteen hundred
cases under treatment. Many of the streets
! where the plague is raging have been
blocked up to prevent passage through.
1t was az first confined to the quarters &C.
cupied by the poor and labOring classes.
but it has at length reached Mount Vernon
Place, the home Of the Maryland nobility,
and last Saturday ten cases were reported
there.
The City Council have at length taken
the alarm. and last Friday they appropri
ated $4,000 for the completion of a pest
hospital, and sJ00GG additional to be used
in the suppression Of the epidemic. Sew
enty vaccine physicians have been ap-
pointed, whose duties are to visit every
house in the city. and see that every in
mate is properly Vaccinated without
charge.
IN our own city Of New Orleans, where
over a hundred cases are now under treat
ment. our city Administrators have placed
themselves on record as opposed to free
vaccination. They have refused to pay for
vaccine matter, which, if furnished, II g
Board of Health would use with all wi G
apply. without charge for their services.
Il is curious consistency which induces
oar city fathers to keep fifty years behind
other American cities il matters of sanitary
reform, the same as in everything else.
