just across the street are officers detailed
to watch public Offices. They should, by
order of the Superintendent, visit every
Office frequently during their tour Of duty
The time consumed in the burglary of
Wednesday night must, judging by the
number of papers strewn upon the floor.
evidently examined by gaslight, have occu-
pied several hours. The hour must have
been late, and after the long search with
their doings, the light they required should
have exposed them to the officers who are in
charge; that they should have been enabled,
without detection, to 90 upon the gallery
and try and break into the other office, and
then escape without interruption, is some
thing surprising.
Nearly two years ago Colonel Fields
Office, in Commercial alley. was broken into
in the same manner, and the same pranks
played, but nothing was discovered gone.
Possibly nothing is lost now, but some one
evidently desires to deprive ATTORNEY Gen
eral Field of some paper.

WHAT DID THEY WANT - Yesterday
morning when Attorney General Field
reached his office he found it in strange dis.
order. The door of the main room. which
is guarded by strong locks, had been
broken open. The desks in that room had
been pried open, all the papers in that office
handled and the majority of them thrown
on the floor. Every pigeonhele was thor
oughly ransacked and all drawers turned
over and over. The confusion worse
confounded in which Colonel Field
found his papers made it impossible
for him to tell whether he had lost
any valuable or not. But something had
been searched for and the conclusion, from
appearances, is that it was not found, for
the burglars, opening the windows of the
main office, went on the gallery to get into
the more secluded and more strongly
guarded sanctum. They took from the win
dow the shutter and then tried to open it.
Former experiences taught Colonel Field
not to rely merely on ordinary fastenings,
and the windows were secured By nails on
a plan of his own.
The thieves failed to get it open: but the
effort to get in was plain. The thieves
were bold and deliberate in all their opera
tiors. and were in search of something for
which they were willing to risk everything,
tor the reason that. they worked in the
light, the gas being found in full blaze in
Colonel Field is naturally indignant.

JEALOUSY, PISTOL, HUMAN BLOOD -
About five years ago Thomas Feraday and
his wife separated, but as there are children
they were almost constantly aware, to a
certain extent, Of each others condition and
residence. For some time past Mrs. Fera-
day and her daughter Laura have resided
at No. go CalliOpe street, between Baronne
and Dryades. Feraday called at that house
yesterday morning about eleven o'clock and
on entering found Mrs. Feraday engaged in
some domestic duty, in company with her
daughter and Mrs. Pohlnan. He said to the
wife that he desired to see her alone, to
which she would not consent, telling him
that if he had anything to say that she
would listen to it there. He thereupon ad-
vanced to near where she was sitting,
drew revolver, placed the end of it close
to her face and fired The bullet entered
near her nose, but did not seem to affect
her greatly, as she arose and ran. going TO-
ward the street, crying out for help. While
she was running he fired once more, the
bullet wounding her in the back. 1t is said
he fred a third shot, but the officer who
took his pistol says that two loads are dis
charged. Feraday then passed over to
CarOndelet street, intending, he Gays, to
surrender himself at the police station, but
an officer arrested and took him to the first
precinct station.
The wound in the unfortunate woman's
face is serious and SO close was the re-
volver that the powder is plainly seen I'M
der her skin. The wound in her back is
worst, and she suffers acute pain from it.
This is the result of too busy tongues,
ever ready to repeat scandal or anything
that will lead to it.

Contribution BY SCHOOL GIRLs.-Mrs
N. M. Taylor, principal of the McDonogh
public school, yesterday informed Mayor
charge desired to contribute their mite to
the relief fund for the overlooked sufferers.
and suggested that some of the scholars
would visit the City Hall today to per-
sonally offer their money. OF course Mayor
Wilt returned a message that he would
gladly receive the delegation at eleven
o'clock this morning. 1t must be remem-
Dered that this money was accumulated by
the girls, who intended to devote 1t to de-
tray the expenses OF a picnic. but when
they considered how much it would benefit
unfortunate people, they determined to
sacrifice little pleasure for charity's sake.

THE ROUx INQUEsT.-COrOner Grayer
Yesterday resumed the inquest in the case
of Paul Roux. Corporal Bergeron testified
that on the morning of the murder he met
Mr.. d. M. G. Hughes down town, who in
formed him that he had just met Officer
Taylor, and told him that Paul had been
killed The corporal inquired who had
done the deed, at the same time. in a jest,
said: perhaps you did it." Hughes re-
sponded "DO look like a man who would
do such thing!" Bergeron denies that he
said to any one that Hughes confessed to
having killed Roux. Although an affidavit
was made against Hughes two days ago he
has not been arrested, and so this mysteri
GUS case stands at present. All theories
regarding it have SO far fallen, because no
single circumstance points to any person as
the assassin.

Moss Roses for Market.

Moss roses are largely grown for the
London markets; they thrive pretty
well under trees, and are very hardy
and foriferous. Light, rich, and deep
ground suits them best. Two rows of
these roses are generally planted be-
tween currant and raspberry bushes,
about two feet apart, but as suckers
speedily make their appearance, all
traces of rows become lost, and the re-
suit is broad band of roses, some q
or 3 feet wide, occupying the central
space between the bush fruit. Under
fruit trees where no fruit bushes exist,
they are grown in lines q or 3 feet
apart, and interspersed with sprouting
broccoli. Brussels sprouts, potatoes, or
shallots, and they are also grown in the
open ground, about the same distance
apart. After they have done blooming,
and have made good wood, they are
layered on both sides of the rows, and
in October, or any time between that
and the following March, the layers are
lifted, and after their roots have been
dressed and their tops shortened lit
tie, they are planted out in permanent
rows from two to three feet apart, or,
If space is scarce at the time, thickly in
rows foot or eighteen inches apart,
where they remain for twelve months
before being finally planted out. They
are pruned very closely in winter, and
in spring they begin to form flower
buds, almost as soon as the leaves make
their appearance. It is the buds that
are gathered for market, the blooms
never being permitted to expand. In
hot summers, and indeed whenever con-
venience permits, the space over their
roots, two or three feet in width, is
mulched with litter, which saves them
from drought, and also acts as stimu-
liant.

Butchers Meat.

An interesting light, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, is thrown on the mys-
teries of the slaughter-h bya mem
orial just presented by DR.. Yield, med
ical officer of health for Sunderland, to
the health committee of that town,
against the blowing and stufing of
meat" The practice of "blowing" is
described as follows GA tube or
pipe is thrust under the skin of the
meat, and the butcher or dresser then
blows the foul air from his own lungs
into the cellular tissue of the meat, the
effect being that deceptive appear
ance OF plumpness is given to the
meat, and in many cases it becomes
tainted with the smell of rum, tobacco
&c. This is pleasant for meat con-
sumers, and where ignorance is bliss it
is perhaps folly to be wise, and now
that public attention has been called to
the blowing" practice it might per-
haps be as well for butchers so far to
meet the wishes of the fastidious as to
use pair of bellows for the purpose of
giving a graceful enabompoiqet to the
carcasses of animals they kill. Even
for their own sakes they will act
prudently by disseminating the use of
their lungs in the process. DR.. Yield
also protests against the practice of
artifcially stuffng the loins or other
parts of the animal with fat SO to give
false appearance of corpulence. As a
remedy he suggests the imposition of a
penalty for every such offence of twen-
ty shillings for the first and forty shil-
ngs for each subsequent conviction.
His suggestions were adopted unani-
mously by the heath committee at
Sunderland, and it is to be hoped that
not only in that town but elsewhere
artificial fairness will at least be pro-
duced by less disagreeable means than
those mentioned by DR.. Yield.

The Liquor Traffic i'm Ohio.

Speaking of the defeat of the license
proposition submitted to the people at
the recent constitutional election in
Ohio, the Cincinnati Gazette says:
Whatever may be said upon this
point, we are back under the Constitu-
ton OF 1850, with mo license in the
fundamental law and anti-liquor laws
on the statute books. The question
thus arises: What next? Nothing has
been settled except that the liquor
traffic is not to be legalized in the state
OF Ohio. The agitation will of course
continue, and political parties cannot
ignore the question. On the contrary,
1t will be live issue in the approach
ing campaign SO far as regards state Of
ticers. Not much is to be ACCOMPLISHED.
it is true, as there is to be no election
for members of the Legislature but
the foundation will be laid for the cam
palgn OF 1875, when the people will be
called upon to choose Governor and
Legislature.
What position, then, will the two DO
htlcal parties be likely to take in their
platforms on the temperance question {?
The Democratic party is naturally anti
temperance. They will be more likely
to dodge the issue. The Republican
party, on the other hand, is naturally,
as party, on the side of temperance,
and it will, in our opinion, plant itself
squarely on temperance platform by
declaring in favor of maintaining the
existing laws and opposing any back
ward step. Thus the issue will be
brought fairly and fully before the peo-
pie, and the Republicans of Ohio will
stand side by side with the Republicans
OF Indiana upon this question. The
issue is already made up with the peo-
pie, and it must be met, not by mean
angless declarations, susceptible of diff
ferent constructions, but in words that
cannot be misunderstood. This is to
be the next step in the programme"

How to Build an Ice House.

I. ?. c., writing to the Inter-Ocean
from Brainerd, Minnesota, asks: evil
the editor of the farm and home de-
partment tell me how to build a good
ice house large enough to hold twenty
five to thirty tons OF ice.''
Reply:-We elsewhere give a letter
from correspondent upon this SUBJ
Ject, but give another way of building
an ice house, which is about as cheap.
To keep ice three things are necessary.
l. Ample ventilation over the top of
the ice. 2. That it be surrounded by
a substance that is a non-conductor of
heat; and 3. That the water that drips
down from the melted ice may run off.
A0y building that furnishes these
requisites, no matter how rude it's con-
struction, will keep ice. A house to
hold thirty tons of ice should be twelve
feet each way and ten feet high. Place
some timber upon the ground and
cover with boards, leaving cracks a
quarter OF an inch wide between them.
70 the ground timbers nail the up
rights and board up the sides as tightly
as possible, using studding two by six
inches, set up edge ways-that is, the
tWo-1nch side out-then board up the
inside In the same way and fill the
space between the two~ sides with dry
fine sawdust. Let there be space I'M
der the caves of at least six inches all
around to allow of free circulation of
the air over the ice Put on roof to
keep the rain off. Such an ice house
may be built to suit the taste of the
owner, and cost from $15 to $75. It
can be clap boarded and painted, or it
may be left rough. When the ice is
put in leave space of six inches be-
tween the ice and the side of the house,
and fill it with sawdust well packed
down, and when full cover the ice with
a foot of sawdust. If in packing the
ice hole is cut IN each cake, and tin
can of oysters, which are cheap in the
winter, be placed IN the cavity, can OF
these delicious bivalves may be had at
any time during the summer months
frozen solid.
