Exactly
HOW ICE IS MADE
by man cannot tell. Ask Rolla. He took
down the modus operandi in little book, and
being a chemist, he is heavy on ice. 1t is
manufactured in blocks about feet inches
long by II or Ia inches wide, and about 3
inches thick, and packed away in sawdust
But natures machinery makes great deal
better and harder article; therefore, deci-
dedly preferable. DR.. J. R. Walker took US
to the Academy of Science and the
MEDICAL COLLEGE,
and as soon as we reached the main floor, DR..

passed around the hall, pointing out to US
the anatomical curiosities Of the human

Whether those little feet kept time to the
music Of the ancient Egyptians, in the days
of Sesostris or the Hiskos Kings, is beyond
the knowledge of man. But certain it is,
the "little sleeper" once ived-thousands of
years ago-possessing many of the eccentrici-
ties to be found in the human family Of to-

days in New Orleans, and have prospected !"
a great many places Of interest, including en-
tertainments by the Templars of the city,
operas and all places Of amusement, and are
getting to be rather lax in mind and body,
and are anxiously waiting for the fourth and
last day to come and go.
The morning Of the 4th day-the 4th Of

THE TRIENNIAL CoNvoCAT1oN
OF the Sir Knights, about 10 A. NJ. the grand
walk over the city commenced, with every
body in the melting mood and warm under
the jacket. l am an Indifferent Judge of
numbers, but 1 can safely say there were
"legions' of Knights in full uniform, all
moving toward Canal street - the main
thoroughfare of the city. How, I thought,
as the procession filed past the bronze statue
of Henry Clay, standing in the middle of
Canal street, at the foot Of St. Charles, if

kindness, hospitality, general and special, is
calculated to win the respect and gratitude of
strangers, we are deeply in debt to the good
people of the Crescent City. Tired and weary,
the Knights disband and make arrangements
to bid adieu to the pleasant scenes and greet
ings through which they had passed during
their sojourn in the city.
