"A very unpleasant discovery was
made at Mines, a short time ago, by
the wife of a mason, who, willie look
ing for some linen Ia one Of her hus-
bands boxes, came upon a woman's
skull. She at once requested her hus-
band to inform her how he came into
the possession of such sinister object,
and when he told her that it was a
souvenir of his first wife she begged
him to get rid of it, which, after some
hesitation, he consented to do. The
story got bruited abroad 10 the village,
and on its coming to the ears of the
police the mason was prosecuted for
violating a burial place." The case
was heard before the local tribunal,
and, from the evidence given, it ap-
peared that the accused, hearing that
the remains of his first wife, who died
in 1871, we're to be disinterred, in
duced the Mayor of the village to al
low the grave-digger to give him a
part of the body that he might pre-
serve it as a souvenir. The grave
digger brought him the skull rolled up
in piece of cloth, and this the mason
piously preser we'd in a box. The tri.
bunal, holding that the accused had
not been guilty of any sacrilegious act
acquitted him, and this decision has
been confirmed by the Court of Appeals
at Mines. -[Pall Mall Gazette.

PRICE OF NApoLEoN's CHAPEAU.-
There are queer things sold at that
vast auction mart, the Hotel Drovot-
everything, in fact, from the diamonds
of Queen down to the basket and
hook of a rag-picker; but surely one
of the queerest lots that ever was Of
fered tl,ore was put up few days ago
in the shape of one of the celebrated
cooked hats Of the First Napoleon. 1t
was said to be the one that he wore
during his Russian campaign, and doc
uments were offered with the hat to
prove its authenticity. But respect
ing that I believe there is no doubt.
1t comes in direct line from the great
man, having been given by him to his
valet. This valet died in the course
of nature, and bequeathed the precious
relic to his son. That son paid the
debt of nature only the other day. and
his heirs sent the historic hat to auc-
ton. Some twenty-six years ago an
other of these hats, which had former.
~ been in the possession of the paint
or David, was sold at auction, and
brought, after brisk competition,
$3.50. Now behold the decadence Of
the Napoleonic legend! There was a
very scant attendance at the sale the
other day. One bid only was made,
and that was by the painter, Armand
Dumaresq. So the hat was knocked
down to him at $35, just $5 beyond
the price at which it was to be bid in
for the family. Truly, Imperial relics
are at q discount. There used to be
one of these cooked hats exhibited in
the Musee des Souverains at the
Louvre, in company with the historic
gray overcoat, and there is still an.
other, l am told, in the museum al
Turin. But $35 for le petit chapeau

A Good Suggestion.
OFFICE Police jury OF THE PAR-l

ALEXANDRIa.

OFFICE POLICE JURY or THE PAR-1
1sH OF RAPIDEs, La, i
ALEXANDRIA,, s
Aug. 81, 1878.
To the President of the Police Jury of
the Parish of Grant, Colfax, La:
A complete quarantine having been
established in this Parish against New
Orleans and all other infected places,
it is feared that the necessities of the
people, and especially the agricultural
class, may, before the disappearance
of the epidemic, necessitate the estab-
lishment of more modified form OF
quarantine than the total one now ex-
listing. It is believed that system of
communication with New Orleans can
be reopened which will admit of the
reception Of groceries and other abso-
lutely necessary supplies; and the ship
ment down of cotton and other pro-
duce, and at the same time be attend
ed with minimum of danger. This
plan, briefly, is to establish some CEN
trail quarantine depot, say at the mouth
of Black River, or better, Turnbull's
Island. where all freight and passen-
gers from below, and all cotton from
above, shall be landed. Steamers
from New Orleans shall stop at this
point, and from there to the points
above second steamer, free of all ep
identical influences, shall ply. In or
der to carry ont any such system sue
cessfully, it is thought that the coop.
GRAFTON of the adjoining Parishes
should be secured. Surprising that
the same difficulties, which we have
reason to believe will arise in this
Parish from the maintenance of a
strict quarantine may also exist in
your Parish, the Police jury Of this
Parish has requested me to address
you on the subject, and to inquire
whether under existing circumstances,
your parochial authorities would be
disposed to cooperate in the reopen
ing of communication on the plan pro-
posed, or some other Of similar char
acter. OF course, in the establishment
of any system of communication, it is
proposed that it shall be subjected to
the control of the strictest quarantine
regulations and that no means shall
be neglected to reduce the risk of in
Producing yellow fever to the lowest
possible minimum.
would respectfully request, there
fore, that you cause this subject to be
brought to the attention of the Police
Jury of your Parish, and that you in-
form me Of the result Of their action at
your earliest convenience. Trusting
to hear from you soon, / am,
| Very respectfully,
Your 0bedient servant,
| F. SEIP,

follows: Alexandria, Lamourie, Che
NEVILLE, Spring Hill, Hineston, CAL
casieu. Cotile, Bayou Rapides, Pine
vile and Rigolet. The Delegates,
in our late Parish Convention, COM
mitted an error in selecting two can
didates in the Hineston Ward, and
neglected to make selections in the
Calcasieu and Spring Hill Wards.
This error and omission should be
corrected at the earliest moment,
and the result be made known to the
Executive Committee, in order to
have the names of the candidates
placed on the ticket.

The Greenback party has turned
things upside down, in Maine, and
great is the CONSERVATION of the
hitherto invincible Republican party.
The old party majority is over
thrown, its popular candidate for
Governor beaten, two Congressional
districts lost, and Eugene Hale,
Representative for Congress from
the Fifth district, and, next to
Blaine, the favorite leader in the
State, unexpectedly unseated. His
defeat fills the Republicans Of the
East with dismay, as it suggests the
strong probability of similar de-
rangements aud disasters in other
States. 1t is now evident that the
Republicans must now give up all
hope Of securing control of the next
House. There was little ground for
such hope at the beginning, and
the loss Of two members in Maine
dissipates that.
