How the Quarantine ss Enforced mt sun

How the Quarantine 7s Enforced mt SUM
INIT.
The extent to which fear will carry people is
illustrated by a little affair which took place
several days ago in Summit, Miss.
On Saturday last. a lady with several children
disregarding the fact that Summit had declared
quarantine against New Orleans left this city
on the Jackson train for that town.
When she reached Summit the authorities re-
fused to allow her to leave the train and she
was compelled to continue to Bogue Chitto
whore at 9 late hour at nj light she disembarked.
She remained in the railway station house all
night and early the next morning she took an
inward bound train. On again reaching Sum-
NIT she. quietly left the train meeting with no
opposition, probably from the fact that she
came from direction opposite to that in which
New Orleans Ia situated.
AS soon. however, as 1t was found that sh g
was from New Orleans the authorities ordered
her Off insisting that at least she should go to
McComb City and remain ten days. when she
would be allowed to return. She protested. and
while the matter was under discussion, a lady
who happened to be at the depot, kindly ex-
tended an invitation to her residence, some
thing over q mile outside OF the village limits,
The invitation, it is scarcely necessary to say,
was gratefully accepted.

ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The Board Of School Directors propose to
transfer the Girls High School from Chestnut
street, above Jackson, and the Girls High
School. from the church opposite Washington
Square in the Third District. to the school
house of the Hebrew Educational Society, on
Calliope street, near st. Charles. for the pur-
pose Of consolidating them into one school for
the whole city. even at o greater expense than
the present system.
The Hebrew School house Is offered to the city
at a rental of $3.50 ner month, This sum is in
excess of the monthly expenditures for the two
present high schools. The one on Chestnut
street is owned by the city whilst the mon hIy
rent Of the basement in the church opposite
Washington Square does not exceed $50 or $40,
Besides this useless expense to the city for only
one high school instead Of t,po costing less, the
girls from the Third District will have to ride
in cars to reach the school. thus involving the
cost Of car fare on the parents who, Ii unable
to provide this daily sum, will be debarred the
privilege of having their children educated. II
the school was for boys there would be no OBJ
lection to the distance because exercise Is
healthy for the boys; but girls cannot be N ade
to walk such q distance without injury to their
health. Even II Cur fare is available the girls
will be deprived Of daily walk to school, if ii
was a convenient distance.
The School Board has erred more through
msapprehension than purpose. and 1t IS to be
hoped that further action on the consolidation
of the high schools will be deferred and the
schools left as they are.

It will be remembered that about two years
ago after considerable efforts on the part of the
residents Of the lower part Of the Third Dis
trict. the city adopted measures to prevent the
flooding Of the district by the rains and the
backing of the briny waters of the lake. We
are Informed that now, where even the coarsest
grass would not grow, excellent crops of hay are
being made by the people owning lands In the
localities In rear Of tho Ursulines Convent and

shall have been attained Mr.. d'Hemecourt will

hour of arrival. large numbers Of people were
congregated on the levee at Carrolton and the
wharf in the city to welcome him. and the recep-
ton at both points was most enthusia iastic.

At the wharf in the city Major Burke was re-
ceived with round after round of cheers.
After q landing had been effected citizens and
delegates dropped into line and proceeded to
Major Burkes residence. where they were
right royalty entertained.
Among the guests was Major Oliver, Of Car
roll, and n number of delegates from other
country parishes. Speeches were made and
toasts proposed and responded to. The utmost
gond will prevailed aud there seemed to be but
one sentiment. that of continuation In the
coming campaign of the harmony between
country and city inaugurated by the nomina-
tion of Major Burke by the votes Of las dele
gates from the country and 1870 from the city.
Before leaving the boat Major Burke out Of
consideration for the sick. instructed the band
not to play while passing through the city. and
requested his friends to desist from cheering.
Both the instructions and the request were
strictly complied with.

The Freedom of London,

The freedom Of the city Of London, which
formed the most important incident in the
field and Salisbury, Is regarded in England as
one of the highest compliments which can be
paid public man. It is conferred by that
part OF the British metropolis called "The
City," which has its own municipal govern
ment and is under the jurisdiction OF the Lord
Mayor. The ceremony Is impressive and In
accord with ancient usage. In the first place
the corporation tenders the privilege, and in
