OUR NEW ORLEANS MAIL.

/ A new screw has been turned on
MS in the matter of our New Orlears
mail, leaving on Saturday, and the
sharp practice exercised by the u.
S. Mail Agent at New Orleans in this
matter, is everything but right, and
is certainly unfair and unjust to us.
That mail reaches US now by 8 p. NJ.
on Monday, which is hours behind
usual time, on account of the slow
ness Of the Natchez's substitute, the
Yazoo Belle, but Col. McGinnis, the
agent and manager here, has rene
died that by waiting over time for that
mail at the Mouth of the River, and
this accommodating arrangement was
made fol-. our benefit, and was work
ing like d charm. But now comes
the sharp practice to which we al
Jude, and of which we complain, and
which we want stopped: the Pool
Line have contract for a river mail
once a week, and the day of depar-
ture Of that mail is fixed for Wed
nesday, thus giving us here an extra
mail a week, in other words four
mails a week, and when started, a
big brag and boast was made that we
had been accorded this extra service.
and we were asked to bless the pow
ers that be for it, and we did thank
them. But now, the Pool Line have
but one boat in the trade, fixed on
Saturday as the day of leaving, and
thus forfeit or slight their regular
contract day, Wednesday. But the
authorities in New Orleans, have
patched up an arrangement by which
half Of the mail, the New Orleans
proper portion of it, must go by the
Saturday boat, and the other half the
Northern and Western mail, is still
sent by the Vicksburg Packet, the
regular mail line. The bad part of
this illegal and unjust arrangement
to US is, that we now get our New
Orleans proper letters and papers,
fully II hours behind the arrival of
the Stage here, which brings the
other half of the mail, and we are
thus inconvenienced by this sharp
practice. We take it that this ar
rangement is illegal and unbusiness.
like, and should be stopped, and that
at once, aud let the mails go through
their regular channels. Let the Pool
Line, now that they have but one
boat in trade, leave on Wednesday,
Instead Of Saturday, and then they
can comply with their contract, give
us our extra mail to which we are
entitled, and let the Vicksburg pack
ct, leaving Saturday, have all the
mail, for which she has contracted to
take, and don't refuse to take, and
then sheer justice will be done all
around We protest against present
change, which we repeat, is illegal,
vexatious And deprives us unneces
sarily Of our New Orleans proper
mai. fully IL hours, and we call on
the Post Master OF New Orleans, or
the U. 5. Mail Agent TO remedy this
evil at once.

OUTWITTED BY A CH1NAMAN.-At a
shoe store in San Francisco. The par
ties concerned were the proprietor of
the store and John Chinamah. Ex-
amining pair of boots, the price of
which was five dollars, John inquired:

who thereupon examined a pair, and
concluding to buy, offered a quarter

boot. They are two dollars and half
apiece; two boots cost fvo dollars
John was somewhat astonished, said
he would not buy and demanded the
return of his money, but the dealer
was inexofable. "No," said the latter,
"you have got one boot and have paid
for it, now give ME another piece like
this and take the other" John saw the
drift of the game and was at once re-
solved. "Well," said he, "this bootee

That is the only way to reach him.
That one act alone before the com.

The death of Minnie Warren will
probably end the public appearance
of the Tom Thumb party. Nlinnie's
death was undoubtedly caused by her
maternal love. Had she listened to
the advice of the physician sooner,
her own life might have been saved,
although her child would have been
lost to hef. But she would not until
it was too late. During her sickness
she seemed to think of nothing but
the baby that she soon hoped to fold
to her bosom. 81 shall live,'' she
said to her sister, Mrs. Southworth;
and after her baby was born she said
with a smile, 81 knew / should live;
take me and rock me-" The sister
took Minnie in her arms, as she
would an infant, and rocked her. |
Don't cry" said Minnie, 81 shall
live through it." Then, after lit
lie, she said, crock me on the other
side, sister, Mrs. Southworth did

while. At length she said with a
Sigh, 81 don't know whether / shall

IN the bed, l feel very badly; am
sfraid ] can't live through it," The
sister put her tenderly on the bed.
N few minutes, without another
vord and with only gentle sigh,
Minnie died, three hours after her
'aby was born. The baby was a
child, robust, and weighed
ust one seventh of Minnie's weight, Il
tx pounds.--[New Orleans Times.

Improving Health.

There is no doubt the world is getting
healthier, as we'll as better, and perhaps
the two are nearer connected than is
generally thought. There is more atten-
ton paid to the laws of health. We are
more careful with our food, we live in
better houses, we protect ourselves
better from the elements, we are more
careful to secure pure air, and we drink
much less spirituous liquors than our
ancestors. The study of physiology by
the masses, the very general diffusion
of hygienic knowledge by journals
Of health and the press generally,
has brought about a much better
understanding and regard for the laws
which preserve the forces of the BODY
and lengthen life.
Physicians are agreed, generally, that
there is marked decrease in many forms
of disease that amounts to almost total ex-
tinction in some. DIR. George M. Beard,
in an able article in the Medical World,
asserts that nervous diseases are decreas-
ing rapidly, and he thinks he has reason
to hope 1T will not be long until they
totally disappear. He enumerates
among the causes that operate most
potently toward this end the following
A higher and better mode of living, 8
more bountiful use of nutritious food
and indulgence in recreation; the ten
dency to diminish the increase of fam
lilies; the declining influence of tn,
terrors of dogmatic theology.
DIR. Beard claims that nervous dys
pepsia has about lost its old-time terror
for the physician, that the averag
weight of the people has sensibly in
creased during the past quarter of
century, but that there has been
marked improvement in physical beauty

A WOman's Sublime HerOism.

Sister S., of the Order of Troyes,
domiciled in French convent, had taken
some sick children out for walk in the
country, the oldest only being eight
years of age, and they were suddenly as
sailed by sheep-dog, whose jaws were
running with foam. She instantly saw
the danger of her charges, and. reso-
lutely interposing between the terrified
children and the furious animal, bravely
withstood its attack. She was severely
bitten, and the dog, excited by the cries
of the children, endeavored to rush upon
them. Protecting her body with the
children, who hung on her petticoats
shrieking with terror, this brave girl
threw herself courageously on the dog,
and for ten minutes grasped it, rolling
over with it, and thrusting her hand into
its mouth to prevent its biting the
children. Some peasants, who came up
at last, beat off and killed the dog. The
sister was found to have fifteen deep
wounds on her hands and ]acerated
arms. Skillful care was given to her
wounds, and for a short time after her
return to Paris there was some hope that
she might escape the ultimate fate which
there was SO much reason to fear. In a
week or two hydrophobia in all its
CHARACTERISTIC symptoms appeared, and
Sister S. died from this fearful disease
She had saved five lives.

Grains of Gold.

The only way to make a friend is to be
one.
Discretion in speech is more than
eloquence.
First convince men by substantial acts
of kindness that you love them.
1t is only those who have done moth
ing who fancy they can do everything.
He who is not the better for his re-
ligious knowledge, will assuredly be the
worse for it.
The worst kind of men are those who
do not care when men see them doing
wrong.
The more perfect we are, the more gen.
tie and quiet we become towards the de-
fects of others. 81.
The best society and conversation in
the world is that in which the heart has
greater share than the head.
There are some persons on whom their
faults sit we'll, and others who are made
ungraceful by their good qualities.
The Germans have this good proverb ::
That thefts never enrich aims never i'm
poverish; nor prayers hinder work.
A man should never be ashamed to
own he was in the wrong, which is but
saying in other words that he is wiser to-
day than he was yesterday.
The three virtues of temperance, thrift
and religion, which are within the reach
of every man, will secure, in his age, al
most any desirable object for any family,
and scores of objects which no legislation
whatever CAN secure without individual
temperance, thrift and religion.
A pure and good woman is great
power. Whether arising from the cour-
age that is founded ON sense of re-
sponsibility, or whether unconsciously
exercised and dictated only by her noble
instinct, she has great power in model
ing the characters and regulating the
conducts and lives of those who are un-
der her influence.
| 1t is into the minute circumstances OF
mans conduct that we are to inquire
for his real character. In these he is Tin.
der the influence of his natural disposi
ton, and acts for himself; while in his
more open and important actions he may
be drawn by public opinions, and many
other external motives, from that bia;
which his disposition would have taken
For want of self-reliance and decision
of character, thousands are submerged
in their first essays to make the voyage
of life. Disappointed and chagrined a
this, they underestimate their own capa
cities, and thenceforth, relying on others
they take and keep a subordinate posi-
ton, from which they rise, when the!

THE Directors of the old Bulbs Head
Bank in New York City, have determined
to refuse deposits, and begin to close up its
business. The bank has been in some
straits ever since the mysterious defalca-
tion of Ma, ch 1873, by which it lost between
100000 and 100000. Depositors will be
paid in full. The loss if any will fall on
the stockholders. The capital is said to be
impaired $4,000.

health and his business has been ruined
to that extent. For seven days he and
eleven other men were confined m the
jury room, compelled to lie on a straw
mattress laid ON the floor, and only
after repeated demands had been made,
and after this plaintiff had already con-
tracted rheumatism, he was provided
with one blanket, which were entirely
insufficient bedding for the season of the
year when said trial was had. He further
says that the room in which these twelve
men were kept was never, during all the
time they were there confined, once
cleaned; that the water-closets were out
of order and infected the air in said room
in which he was kept with an unwhole-
some and dangerous odor; that he was
exposed to the unclean and sickening
behavior of some of the jurors. In con-
sequence of which he became sore and
suffering, and had to sustain great pain
and bodily injury. We trust, if this
record is true, the juror will gain his
damages to the full, and 80 compel a re-
form
