DIED !:

LASTRAPES-On the 18th inst, at LaPlace
plantation, in ST. Martins parish, ROSA OLIVER
wife of Aired Lastrapes, aged 81 years and 1C
months.
year ago, as loving hands twincd the bridal
wearth around her brow, how little they thought
that scarce twelve months would roll around
ere they NOuld be summoned to the chamber
of DEATH" to fold her hands across her breast
A year ago, as a merry crowd assembled to
wish happiness aud long life to the young
couple, they little thought that in so short a
time. one would be called from the home she
bad just entered, to bless with the sunshine of
her presence.
a year ago, young and beautiful, loving and
loved, she uttered the solemn vow until death
lis 80 part"
We seldom think of the great event of DEATH
until the shadow crosses our path, hiding from
our eyes the loved one, whose living smile was
the sunlight of our existence. But the fiat of
nature is ineXorable.
Dear Rosa. only we who knew and loved you
in your childhood, your girlhood, and your
womanhood, can justly mourn your loss. Yet
1t is our seltishness makes us mourn; for we
feel that you have only passed through the
dark valley which leads to Paradise, and are
ROW III q more glorious sphere of existence
81 where the saints Of all ages in harmony
meet"
Loved friend, we feel it would he sinful to
wish you back, in this world of woe !; yet we
we're more than human could we repress all
'egret for the pleasant past. forever flown,
when as firm friends, VIC sympathized in each
other's SORROWS, and rejoieed in each othersjoys.

HEALTH OF TOBACCO OPERATIVES
Writers on the diseases of artisans have
made many vague statements on the
supposed baDeful effects of tobacco on
the workmen. 1t is said they are liable
to bronchitis, dysentary, ophthalmia.
carbuneles, and fllruncles. At a meet
ing of the Royal Medical Society of
Paris, however, before which memoir,
to this purport was lately read, the
facts were contradicted by reference to
the state of the workmen at the ROYAL
Snuff Mandatory of Gros Gallon
where 1000 people are constantly en-
pl0yed without dctrimcnt to their health.
This subject has been since investigated
with great care by Messrs. Parent Du-
chatelet and D'Arcet, who inquired min
utely into the state of the wOrkme en-
ployed.at all the great tobacco manufac-
tories of France, comprising popula-
ton of about 1000 persons; and the re-
suits at which they have arrived are,
that the workmen very easily become
habituated to the atmosphere of the
manufactory; that they are not particu-
larly subject either to special diseases
or to disease generally; and that they
live on an average quite as long as other
tradesman. These facts are derived
from very accurate statistical retutrns.-

Another Fever Preventive.

Editor New Orleans Times:
DEAR SIR have been frequently So
licited, by persons to whom | have re-
commended what | regard as all infalli-
BILE preventive against yellow fever, to
inform the general public of it through
your columns, giving the experience
that induced the belief.
In the summer of 1867 / shipped from
Savannah, Ca, on board the schooner
Walter Smith, for New Orleans via
Havana, as boyaboard- ship. Upon our
arrival in the harbor of Havana we
were informed that the yomito was
maging in the city and that there were
seme thirty cases on brig anchored
wTtigin a few yards of us. @3
Our captain, a Spaniard whose name
do not remember, instructed the cook
to bake some biscuits of flour and pull
yerized charcoal, of which we ate at
every meal. We remained at Havana
for three weeks, shipped deck load of
sugar, and escaped without single
visitation of the scourage. / have al
ways attributed our immunity to the
charcoal biscuits, and whenever / find
myself in an infected city, which is
frequently the case. i return to their
use, and always regard my exemption
from the fever as a legitimate result.

Mr.. Frank ID. Harrar, yesterday in
conversation with a reporter, stated
that he had followed a prescription
given in last Sundays News, and had
succeeded in getting a most effective
disinFeetant and deodorizer in great
quantity MT an expense of twenty cents.
Taking one-eighth Of an ounce of nitrate
of lead and dissolving itin one quart of
boiling water, he poured the solution
into a tub containing between five and
six gallons OF water in which had been
previously dissolved one ounce of COM
mon salt. The mixture produced q
thin, white sediment at the bottom of
the tub, and after allowing it to settle
for several hours he drained off about
six gallons of inodoroHs, clear and taste
less liquid. Heused this on several alley
ways and sinks which had been most
offensive, and found to his satisfaction
that it " worked like a charm
The above is given for the benefit of
those who would wish to have cheap
disinfectant twenty cents worth would

who find the fumes of carbolic acid
