LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS
New ORLEANS, Jan. 26, 1886

EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
What is going to happen after
the bloody shirt" has been turned
wrong side out, and now graces the
noble shoulders of the rampant
Maine politician? While we all
deprecate a disturbance in our
neighbours camp, yet we very COM
placently smooth the wrinkles from
the corners of our elongated mouths
and wonder how that State feels,
being placed in the same position
Louisiana was several years ago.
At all events, we wish them well
out of it, and are charitable enough
to hope there will not be so much
sadness connected with their politi-
cal outbreak as there has been with
ours; ard if "Haleio and Blainio"
could be sent to the front and made
to take the brunt of the disgraceful
middle, they would get no more
than their just dues.
New Orleans is to have a treat
this week, that has never before
been given here. An authors
Carnival will be produced on the
9th, 2Sth and 29th of January, on
the grandest possible scale. Ele-
CANT costumes, profuse decorations,
and plentiful and choice refresh
ments viii be the order of these
nights, interspersed with harmoni-
GUS religious and secular music,
vocal and instrumental; also numer-
GUS tableaux. Four thousand tick
cts are out, and such is the demand
for them, to witness this interesting
and curious spectacular novelty,
that more tickets may have to be
struck off. The streets fame with
the hand-bills, and the affair will
be second only to the Mardi Gras
celebration-wnich I fear won't be
much in New Orleans, since the
King will be in Covington on that
day.
Iron" still is king of the market.
Cotton has dipped its white head to
this "boom," which has enlivened
the whole country, and has even
walked up sleepy old England; and
one firm here (that of Minnigerode
4 Berl) have consignments of old
ron coming amounting to 10000
;ons. Five steamships are now at
his port unloading old scrap iron,
md the boom is still booming, al
.hough some firms are of the opin-
on that prices are as high as they
viii get, and there will soon be
lecline.
Our city is very lively at present,
md the outlook for business is very
,ood; but there is feeling of de-
preston that the mild winter will
cause sickness next summer. It is
III very well to say this, but it will
lot be altogether due to the mild
winter, if sickness ensues the COM
ng summer. The citizens will have
themselves alone to blame, for
ome of our prominent business
men have urged the sanitary
measures best calculated to insure
lealth, but they have met with so
much Encouragement and inertness
rom the community at large, that !
il their plans are being gradually
bandoned, for the want OF general

By reference TO our advertisement columns
twill be seen that the city council has passed
an ordinance regulating the construction of
closets. This is step in the right direction
towards improving the sanitary condi.
ton of the city. Nothing breeds malaria
more rapidly than foul closet vaults, for
whenever vegetable or animal matter under
goes putrefaction or fermentation, it is found
TO be alive with active spores. These spore,
take possession of tho fluids and tissues of
the human body, being inhaled into the lungs
as they float in the air, and produce diseases
ike diphtheria,typboid fever and other putrid
o. malignant lamentations which are classed
a. diseases, that.prove mortal when allowed
70 run their career. The highest perfe ctio n
Of ths science Of medicine is to prevent dis
ease and the sure,t prevention is to remova
The causes.

IT will probably be interesting to young
ladies to know that the length of the human
body isjust six times that Of the human foot.
Remembering this they will do well to for.
get how tall they are when asked, unless
they want the size of their foot known. OF
course this is not always the case, but when
the rule varies there is departure from the
highest beauty in proportion, and no young
lady, this being the case, could possibly deny
that her foot was one-sixth the length of her
whole body.

The over worked population of London
have of late been given an economical and
innocent way OF passing their Sabba,hs. In
Regent park kiosks have been erected, and
military bands.peIform beautiful selections
Of music in the afternoons. Tables are ar.
ranged on TIE outside with seats, and guests
are served with bread and butter, cakes and
coffee or tea. The prices of those refresh
ments are put very low and are regulated by
printed tariffs. This prevents much de-
bauchery.
