Our sanitary commissioners are
very busy in the discharge of their

good citizens to look around their

pay a fine, for our city certainly
will tax those (and right heavily
we hope,) who may help to bring
on any kind of sickne IS, by an i'm.

And he only shut it because was right

to catch the drift Of my remark.

OFFICIAL JOURNAL Of the Parish Of LAFAYETTE
and Of the Town Of VERMlLIONVILLE,

The CAR NICHOLAS AND THE STUDENT
OF the late Gar Nicholas, "A Russian
Nihilist" tells in the North American Re
view striking story. A young student,
relative of the writer, had with few
friends formed literary society in which
the works Of contemporary political econ.
om1sts, pnblicists and philosophers were
read and debated. The secret police de-.
nounced this society as a revolutionary
organization, and the young student was
imprisoned and condemned to Siberia.
All possible influence was brought to bear
upon the Gar, but in vain, and at last the
young mans mother, meeting the Gear in
the Summer Garden, knelt aud implored
her sons pardon, asserting his innocence.
The Gar seemed touched, and promised
to give the youth personal interview
The latter was brought to His Majesty
the next day, and the Gar, forcing him to
bis knees before an image Of the Savior,
exclaimed: "Can you swear before the
