Board of Health.

A special meeting of the Board of Health
was held on Friday evening, for the pur-
pose of considering the filling of the va
cancy at Atchafalaya quarantine station,
caused by the removal of DIR. Roach.
There were present DR.. White, president,
DR.. Gaudes and Messrs. Bayley, Heath and
Burwell.
At the previous regular meeting reso-
Iution on the report of Mr.. Heath, censured
DR.. Roach in severe terms. Since that
meeting Dr. Reach had appeared and
shown that the supposed fact OF misappro-
priation of funds collected was an error,
and had settled with the treasurer. 1t thus
appearing that the resolution was not ap-
plicable to the case of the doctor, it was
rescinded.
1t twas resolved that the president be au-
thorized to appoint resident physician at
Atchafalaya station at a salary not to eX-
coed $3.50 per month, from the fifteenth OF
June to the first of November, to be paid
out Of any funds to be appropriated by the
LEGISLATURE, and in no other manner what
ever.
A communication was read from DR..
Perry, resident quarantine physician at
Mississippi station, recommending proc
lamation of quarantine as to all vessels
coming from any port in the ISLANDS OF
Cuba. Porto Rico and Jamaica.
On motion, it was resolved that the sug-
gestion of DIR. Perry be adopted, and the
president be authorized to notify the Gov
ernor and request that his proclamation OF
quarantine be issued accordingly.
The board then adjourned.

WOLF, SMOKE, SQUEAL.-Leon Wolf has
been stroking the fur of Royal street
tiger and was probably worsted in the
encounter, for after the play was stopped
he retired with Mr.. Green to rear room.
Green had made something as he sat on the
winning side of the table. Placing 5000 in
pocketbook he sought for desired rest.
Wolf followed, and when Green's face was
turned Wolf handed him one on his mob
with bit of iron. Green went down, and
as he Gid SO Wolf reached for and secured
the money. Green was not disposed to
submit to such proceedings, 80 quickly
arose, going down stairs. locking the door,
leaving Wolf inside. Officer Malone was
on hand and took charge of the rampageous
man on charges of assault and battery and
robbery. Wolf says it was all joke.

A WATER SPOUT TURNED LoosE.-That
it never rains but it pours was demonstrate
ed yesterday evening about one o'clock.
At that hour an angry thunder storm sud
denly gathered ever our city and burst
with considerable fury, sending down
torrents of rain, flooding even the most
central streets from side to side. Before
the storm eliminated there appeared in the
south the upper half of large water spout.
People standing near the st. Charles Hotel
thought it was not far from Carollton,
which guess was in a manner verified by
immense sheets of water falling in detached
bodies directly over the city. Citizens will
not cry for moro water very soon. Cisterns
were filed and overtiowed-a perfect Gre
vase OF pure rain.

A London letter says of the Cars visit:
Gan the efforts that have been made to
galvanizs public opinion into show OF
cordial welcome, have conspicuously failed;
and the cold civility with which his majesty
was everywhere received was unmistak-
able. The Duke of Edinburgh's marriage
has never been popular, and it is to be
feared that it may be fruitful source of
Inconvenience, and, possibly, even danger"

Rumors unfavora5le to the Prince of
Wales are again afoat. 1t is now said that
he is in debt about 100000, and wishes his
mother to pay the amount, on the ground
that the liabilities were incurred in holding
Ievees at which he represented the majesty
OF England. The Queen, it is alleged, takes
different view OF the matter, and hence
royal family jars are the order of the day.

Chairman Pure
typographical Map of Louisiana.

We have received from w. E. Seebold,
agent Of G. w. & c. B. Cotton, of New
York, the publishers, copy of Colonel s.
H. Lockett's Typographical map OF the State
of Louisiana. This map was prepared by
Colonel Lockett with the assistance OF D.
M. Bronson, of the class of 1872, of the
Louisiana State University, from actual
surveys made by him. In the prosecution
Of these surveys he visited and examined
every portion of the State, and travelled
over 5000 miles on horseback. In very
interesting lecture delivered to very small
audience last year in Lyceum Hall, he
thoroughly explained the map then on ex-
hibition. 1t was the generally expressed
opinion at that time that it was the most
complete and carefully executed map Of
any State in the Union, and should be pub
lished. 1t was Colonel Leckett's desire that
the State should undertake its publication,
but that was never gratifed Messrs. Col.
ton, of New York, have, however, presented
the public with complete fac simile on a
smaller scale, engraved in the superb style
that all maps published by that house pos
sess.
The geological formations, divided into
billy and level, are indicated by eight
colors, and explained by sufficient though
concise notes. In Colonel Lockett's lecture,
which should be printed, that it may be
studied in connection with the map, all
these subdivisions are described with great
minuteness, and there is vast amount OF
information of great value to all students
of Louisiana.
MIR. Seebold has the map handsomely
mounted ON rollers, and also in pocket form,
1T his bookstore, No. 166 Canal street.

A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE.-The thermo
metrical observations made by the junior
probabilities in New Orleans do not tally
with local machines. Mr.. Frigerio's Their
nometer almost daily indicates fully two
degrees higher than that of the signal off
Ger. This difference may, perhaps, be
accounted for by the fact that Mr.. Frige

close situation, while the signal officers
