There were three military funerals this
afternoon OF members OF the First Louis
lana Infantry and one OF the Orleans Ar
tlllery. The correspondent In returning
from one OF them. met seventeen funeral
professions, nine OF which were burying
the bodies OF children.
A curious prophecy OF negro VOodOO
sorcerer is now going the rounds. He is
SAID to have stated on New Years DAY
that there would be a plague come upon
the city, equally fatal to his race as to the
whites that 1t would increase until the
number OF deaths day equaled the de-
grees OF the thermometer, when it would
decline. The coincidence has existed for
three days past. To-day the death rate
was u, while the thermometer stood at
Sc degrees. The negroes are REJOICING at
this, believing that the prophecy is true
and that the climax has been reached. I'm
fortunately, 1t is strongly probable that the
