HEALTH OF THE CITY.

j The deaths in New Orleans for the weel
ending Sunday, August Is, at 6 P NJ. wer
100. Of these % were caused by fevers of va
rious kinds, as follows: 10 by congestiv
fever, by intermittent, by remittent, b,
scarlet, by malarial, 8 by typhoid, 1 b.
typho-malarial and by typhus fever. Death
by consumption were Is, by infantile convul
sions IL, by small pox S. The total deaths
from diseases peculiar to children were 80, in
GLIDING those by convulsions and scarlet
fever.
| From May 80 to June ~ of this year the
deaths numbered 551. From June 81 to
August /, five weeks, the number was 622,
and for the first and second weeks in August
229.
In 1874 the deaths in June numbered SIT,
in July 700, and from August to August 16,
two weeks, 449, or nearly twice as many as
for the corresponding two weeks in 1875.
In 1874 for June the deaths from fevers,
out of total of SIT were 80, being Is from
congestive fever, from malarial fever, and 10
from typhoid. In July of that year the deaths
from all fevers were SIS, being "a from conges-
tive fever, IS from malarial and Is from
typhoid.
In 1876, during the first four weeks in June,
out of the total number 551 there were "a
deaths from fevers, being Is from congestive,
from scarlet, from malarial and 5 from
typhoid.
In July, or during the five weeks beginning
June ~ and ending August 1, out of the total
of 622 deaths there we're So from fevers,
being % from congestive, 20 from scarlet,
from intermittent, 5 from malarial and from
typhoid.
In the first and second weeks in August, out
were 50, being in the first week Is from conges-
tive. from scarlet from typhoid, 2 from
remittent and from typho-malarial, and
in the second week % as above stated.
The foregoing figures will suffice to show
that for the past seventy eight days our city
has been unusually free from any disease
which our citizens or visitors have reason to
Tread. Our mortuary reports will compare
favorably with those of any American city of
equal size. For the past eleven weeks the
proportion of deaths to actual population,
1902 deaths to more than 200, 900 inhabi- |
ants, has been less than the average in other
arge cities taken for the entire year.
These facts are presented with the respect
ul request that our exchanges will make
tote of them for the benefit of those of their |
eaders who are interested in our city, as we'll
IS to disabuse the pu olic mind of very er-
oneous prejudice

A CONTRAST.

The other day very important case in
volving some $4,000 was tried and decided
in Plaquemine by negro jury, not one o.
which could read or write, and the verdict a.
rendered by the foreman was owe find he
had right to make the affidavit" The
Judge simplifed the matter consider
ably by asking if they did not mean
to find for the defendant, and the
good-natured foreman replied eyes," and
that settled it. If the judge had only said
plaintiff by-the-way, the plaintiff made
the afidavit-who knows but that the &C.
commodating foreman would have answered
Eyes," just as promptly. As the verdict
stands recorded to-day, with the cross-mark
of the foreman in attestation, it is certainly
pretty hard lines on the plaintiff
and will remain for all time q
bitter sarcasm on justice and perpetual re-
minder of the cruel policy which permits
ignorant men to sit on juries in the trial of
cases that require the incest judgment, the
ability to weigh evidence and to determine
intricate points of law.
In glancing over an old copy of the daily
Delta. published in this city November 1S,
1856, we accidentally found an account of the
trial of w. G. Kendall, defaulting United
States Postmaster, and were struck by the
character of the jury-not a special one
that tried the case. Amy old resident will
readily recognise the names of the jurymen:
George NJ Pinckard, foreman; R. Nugent,
NJ. Musson, Geo. Urquhart, 81. S Backner,
E. G. Rogers, Fl. T. Lonsdale, c. NJ Water
man, R. B. Sumner, Elijah Peale, 1. W.
Ssauffer, Saml. Wolfe.
This was jury in which any honest man
might have reposedabsolute confidence. but
which rogue would have justly feared. The
of such jury nowadays would
attract as much attention and remark as the
discovery Of new continent. If our State
has declined as much in other respects as in
aer juries, then she is poor indeed.

inforced by all the dinner bells, horns, rattles
and other weapons of harmony, mammoth

to the farm OF his son, Lee s. Sargent, two
or three miles southeast. The lumber be-
Ing frosty slipped forward on the horses,
which caused them TO run. Mr.. s. beng
