Perlque Tobacco.

70
ST.. JAMES PARISH, La, Jan. S, 1881.
AS to the origin OF tho name OF
perique, opinions vary, and the
writer eoniesses his ignorance on
the subject. The plant is indigen-
GUS to this parish. All attempts to
produce 1t in other localities have
resulted in failure.
The planting, transplanting aud
cultivation of this tobacco Is iden.
tical with the mode practiced In
Virginia and Kentucky. In the
latter Staets the tobacco is dried
sufficiently to admit OF shipment.
Perique is picked from the stalk
when it assumes q mottlcd hue,
aud is never permitted to dry. AZ.
ter gathering the leaves it is hung
on poles aud In u few days is trans
ferred to presses or boxes about
two feet square and pressed. The
primitive lever used by pcrique
planters Is cord wood, while in
presses, and the term applied to
perique is "torquette,' Il. o., twist);
it is incumbent that the torquette
should be manipulated with the
hands, daily, tor about two months,
to insure that the moisture must
be uniform it is then ready to be
placed in carrots, or rolls, weigh
| ing about four pounds; the carrots
are encircled by ropes, and after
being in that condition for tour
months the article Is in a marketa.
ble condition; smaller carrots
weighing 2, 4, 8, IL OF. and l and
pounds, are manufactured, but the
writer would not recommend theil
use, as the moisture soon eyapor
ates, leaving them insipid.
But few persons are aware that
there are three kinds OF periquc--
smoking, chewing, and "robe,' 4. Q,
wrappers, all plucked from the
same stalk; the former is composed
of tho small leaves, which having
come IN contact with the ground,
are "gritty"; no pains are taken
with tho preparation of "smoking'
perique, 1t soon dcteriorates aud is
only used for smoking purposes
chewing perique comprises the cen.
| ter leaves OF the plant and should
keep Indefinitely; robe tobacco is
made of tho finest leaves, and cor
responds with the wrappers of ci'
gsrs; this article Is only used by
connoisseurs, who appreciate
good "chew"; only 3 per cent. Of
the crop consists of robe tobacco,
and owing to its cost the use OF 1t
ls confined almost exclusively to
the wealthy creoles of Louisiana.
Seven years ago 81 planters cul.
tivated perique; but 10 are now
engaged in its culture. The decline
of this interest can be attributed
to various reasons, the principal OF
which is the oucrous, yea, almost
prohibitory tax.
Grand Point (the place whore
most of the perique is grown is Oh
miles from New Orleans and three
miles from tho left bank of The Mis-
sisslppi. The inhabitants cultivate
exclusively tobacco; are simple
and frugal in their habits. They
speak only the French language,
and their settlement seems to DO
one family--in fact, they have In
termarried until they have almost
lost all ties OF consanguiuity. Poor
and hospitable, the writer regrets
that their interest seems doomed
to extinction.

The prevalence of smallpox in
many places in this country, aud
the danger Of the spread of the dis
ease to our own State, calls for a
word of warning, and advice from
those who have been constituted
the guardians of the public health.
SMALLPOX is E.EMINENTLY A
PREvENTABLE DISEASE.
1t is preventable because We pos
sess the means by which we may
reasonably expect to keep 1t from
our homes, and from our communi-
ty. 1t never visits either except
az those means known to be able to
prevent it have been neglected.
We urge upon health officers,
upon the constituted authorities
of every county, town or village,
and especially upon physicians, to
institute such measures as viii
serve to prevent the disease, and
in casa it should be introduced, to
stay its progress. The measures to
be instituted are:
VACCINATION AND RE.vACClNATIoN
But TO secure this protection
three conditions must be carefully
observed:
First. The virus must be pure
and vigorous.
Second. The operation must be
skillfully and properly performed
Third. Re-vaccination must be
frequently practiced to test the 70
turning susceptibility of the system
TO the smallpox contagion.
BY a strict aud universal obser
vance of these rules, it is believes
that smallpox might be stamped
ont of existence. To neglect sucl
rules is to endanger not only tht
life OF him who negects them, bu
also the lives of those with WHOM
| he associates. There can be N
vail | excuse for such neglect.
With regard to re-vaccinatiol
the facts are, that certain numbe
of persons ara protected for life b,
one vaccination, while the protec
tion of others extends to but lin
tied and variable period. Hence
as we are without the power to dis
tinguish between these classes, re
vaccination is as essential as pri
mary operation.
Isolation.
Thoroughly isolate every cas-
, that may occur, and keep so ist
lated until all danger that the dl'
ease can be communicated is pas
:. A pest house remote from habits
tions should be provided for tn
treatment of cases but if the p
: tients be kept in private house
0 Is better that the uppermo

ding Shot gun Fatally
Wounds his Mother.

Shocking news was brought by tele.
graph 10 Joseph Duffy, q letter carrier
in tho Wilmington postoffice, on Satur-
day afternoon, to the effect that his wife
wasdying in Bridgton, New Jersey. Sub
sequent information stated that Mrs.
Duffy had been accidentally shot by
her son, who was examining q shot
gun.
Mr. Duffy left for Bridgton at B o'clock
Saturday morning, and arrived only TO
find that the dispatch was too true
and that his " ife was dead. Mrs. Duf-
fv left Wilmington with the children
more than,a week ago, and was visiting
her father, Frederick Bridenstean, in
Bridgeton, who lives in the western
part of the town on Giles street.
The details of the terrible affair re-
ceiyed here are as yet meagre. 1t ap-
pears that just after dinner, Mrs.
Duify's son Willie, aged II or 13 years,
who had accompanied her from Will
mington, picked up double barreled
shotgun and began to examine it. The
gun had been standing in corner of
the room He was told to put it down,
and was about TO do 50 when the weapon
was accidentally discharged. Mrs.
Duffy was standing near at the time.
The contents OF the gun, both loads. it
is understood, entered Mrs. Duffy's
head, tearing away large portion of
the skull and killing her in very short
time.
Bridgeton was thrown into a state Of
terrible excitement over the affair and
a large crowd gathered about tho house.
The wound was OF such a nature that
medical aid was ont Of the question.
The funeral will take place tomorrow.
Mrs. Duffy Is we'll known in Whining
ton, and much respected as lady of
many fine qualities. She had several
children. Her husband, who has the
heartfelt sympathy of the whole com
mrnily, is one Of the best carriers in
the postoiifce.
Mr.. Duffy lives at No, 1902 Poplar

SNEAK THIEVES ABOUT,
A House on Madison Street entered
and Robbed

On last Saturday between the hOurs
of ten in the morning and two in the af
ternoon, the house of Mr.. j. Schlice
No. 1923 Madison street, was entered
by thieves, and robbed of a silver watch
With valuable gold chain, q revolver
lady gold neck chain and locket,
with twenty dollars in money.
The family We're absent from home,
engaged in ATTENDING the market, they
favihg aproduce stand at Fourth and
King streets. The son, Henry Schlice,
was at home about ten o'clock in the
morning and everything was all right
at that time. He returned at two
clock in the Afternoon, and found that
the house had been entered through the
cellar window, and completely ran
sacked. During the morning two men
IN their shirt sleeves were seen by the
neighbors sneaking around in that vi
clnlty, and shortly afterwards were
seen by some parties in Mr.. Schlice's
pack yard. They, however, paid but lit
tie attention to them as they thought
they were carpenters sent to DO some
repairs on the premises. There is no
doubt but that the men committed the
robbery.
The description given by tho parties
Is, That one is short stout man, heavy
built, with dark hair, and the other tall
and slim, and stopped little as he
walked. When Henry Schlice was at
