STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Synopsis of Proceedings.

A regular meeting of the State Board of
Health was held in this city On the 4th.
There were present Drs. S. V. D. Hill, Pres
ident, Drs. Dancy, Phares, Rice, Kittrell,
Redwood, Taylor, Kells, Bennett and john
ston, Secretary.
The report of the Secretary for the years
1879 and 1880 was received and adopted.
DIR. r. F. Kidzie, Professor of chemistry
at the State A. and NJ. College, was invited
to act as correspondent of the Board.
An application from the Jackson County
Board of Health for assistance to the sum of
$500 from this Board to enable them to
conduct their quarantine at the port of
Pascagoula for the coming season was re-
eeived, and on motion of DR.. Rice, it was
decided to furnish the amount in INSTALL
ments as needed.
The following resolutions by DR.. KittreI,
were adopted
Resolved, That the State Board of Health
of Mississippi regard it as absolutely essen
tial to the protection of the Valley of the
Mississippi from the incuTsions of the epi-
demic visitations of yellow fever, that there
should be cordial cooperation between the
National and the State Health author
tiles of the Valley States, and to this
end we regard it vitality important
that the State Boards of Health should
invite the National Board to place its in
spectors at such points, within their re-
spective jurisdictions, as in the judgment
of the National Board the sanitary interests
of the public may require and that these
inspectors should be encouraged by the
various State health authorities to make the
most thorough investigation of all matters
affecting the public health.
ResoE0ed, That copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the President of the Ma
tional Board of Health and the Presidents
of the State Boards of Health of the
Mississippi Valley States.
DR.. Peter Farley was nominated for
Chief Health officer of Rankin county.

He claimed he had q right 70 question the
Senator who undertook to repeat eaTumny
on the people of Mississippi, and to ask him
who his author was. He had ri0h. "a know

. Lovelorn damsels are credited with
strange freaks In q London paper il
was lately averred that the original Of
Dickens's Miss Havisham still existed
in the flesh not far from Ventnor, in the
person of an old maiden lady, who,
when she was young. had formed an
attachment which did not meet with
maternal approval. and in consequence
came to nothing. The young lady
gave up her lover. but accompanied
the act of filial duty by q declaration
that she would go to bed and never get
up again; and she kept her word. The
years had come and gone. and the
house has never been swept or gar
nishedi the garden is an overgrown
tangle; and the eccentric lady has spent
twenty years between the sheets. The
teller Of the story rashly put a name to
it. and the friends OF the eccentric
lady soon published an indignant re-
pudiation Of the romance, which in all
likelihood was simply an adaptation
of the case of q Lady Betty C-,who,
it is averred, took an unhappy love
affair no much to heart that she went
to her bed and actually lay therein for
the remaining tw~enty-six years of her
life.

Keepiup Boarders,

To keep boarders is the favorite re-
uource of ~impecunious women. But
there are some among their number
and 1t Is mostly women who are ~
gagged in this sort of struggle-who are
oonstitutionally incapable of boarding
and lodging . fellow-being. To do this
with success one must have tho various
practical qualities which como under
the head Of business capacity ; must
know when to speak aud when to keep
silent, and must unite much tact with
considerable spirit and firmness when
occasion demands. She may have q
terrific temper il she chooses, provided
she keeps it under the subsection. and
never lets it forth unless to crush the
penniless adventurer who tries to make
her house his home.

An Assassin. P~nnisbmant.

In reading the Life of Voltaire," uy
James Parton, l came across a descrip-
tion of the punishment of a religious
fanatic who attempted to take the Ito
of Louis XIV, of France. j beg leave
to present the following abridgment of
the account given by the author On
the 9th Of January, 1853, as King Louis
XIV. was entering his carriage at YER
sailles, a stout young man pushed
through tho Swiss Guards and stabhn,i
the King with a pocket-knife. T.io
wound was slight. but all Franco was
convulsed. The assassin was Picrro
Damiens, a fanatical Jansenist. a poor
lunatic without accomplices, plain or
rational motive.
In his pocket was found a neatly
bound New Testament, and his pur os.
was to promote the orthodox faith.
From the hour of his arrest to the m =
ment of his death, n period OF two
months and twcnty-three days. he W ~
in torture whenever he was awake. 80
cruelty was he bound, chained and CO l.
fined. When at last the day of exec l.
ton came lie was taken to the torir =.
chamber and subjected to the great, st
amount Of anguish which the hum n
frame is capable of enduring surgeons
standing by to give timely notice Of n
sensibility.
Then he was driven by a circuitrus
route through tie streets of Paris to t'.e
place of execution. This took an hour
and a hall. Another half hour he rs
kept waiting in full view of the prepar-
ations, the apparatus not being ready.
Then, in view Of the assembled multG
tude, many Of whom were women, 10
was placed on q lofty platform. and
the hellish work began. First, his
right hand was burned off; next, mas
SEES of flesh were orr from him by rod
hot pinchers and melted lead and rosin
poured into the wounds; lastly, a strong
horse was attached to each of his four
limbs and an attempt was made 10 tear
him to pieces.
After q considerable period it was
found impossible to do this, and a mes
sage was tent for permission to cut the
muscles Of the joints. 1t was refused,
and again an attempt was made to lear
the limbs apart, but without succe !.
A second time word was sent that the
horses could not teal the dying wretch
nsunder. Permission was then given,
and the muscles were severed, but not
until both legs and one arm had boom
torn of did tho prisoner expire.

A Miners Luck.

About four years ago a poor but in
dustrious prospec,2r in California had
the misfortune. or good fortune. to lose
his horse. 1t was an old bay horse.
and. like his master, was a wandering
prospector. only that he prospected fol
grass. while his master prospected for
quartz. This particular day the old
bay mare wandered farther than he
was wont to do, probably because the
punches of grass were few and far be-
tween. At any rate. the prospector de-
sired to move camp. but could not do
so without the assistance of his horse.
He aus needs find him. He was at
last successful. aud while returning
with the truant he noticed the head Of
a mountain ram sticking in the rocks.
STOPPING TO examine it, he saw rich
looking quartz scattered about. and,
following it up, he hit upon what is now
the noted Ramshore Mine-the longest
and richest silver ledge that we know
OF. The district was named Bay Horse,
as it should have been, and is the rich
est silver district in the Salmon River
country.

Things got to such a pass at last that
the doctor announced his intention Of
marrying the negro girl. His family
couldn't stand the disgrace. They
broke up and Q out West Once Of

A Doctors I~nfatuation.


Philadelphia has a ne sro population
Of 1000 to $4,000. living mostly in tho
f.flii Ward. In thi, ward Lombard

was to be seen. the o.iier dav. n white

brick house he slapped AMI looked

sadly. Tho shutters were old and
wcathcr-worn. Tao woodwork was
dirty; a pail Of wat r aud Il scruhbing-
brush in tho hands of an a~ble-bodied
swench woull !Haye worked wonders.
The man knew is con litipn, and was
hesitating wl.at to do. But he hcsitated
too long. TIC door opened, and q
negro wencl, en- laI out '.Heah. you!

looms and the back OF the neck. and. in

except among the blacks. Several
Y airs ago his father died, leaving a
fortune. There were several boys, and
they all got a good slice.
This man got perfectly infatuated
with the wench who just walked him
into the house so gracefully. He met
her in the course Of his rounds as a
physician. His relatives were scandal
lied, but that made no difference to
him. He was head over heels in love
with the negro woman. She isn't a
full-blooded negress, for she is OF
lighter color than the average Lombard
street darkey. but she has oil the in
stincts Of her race. She was pleased
with the attentions Of the white man.
He had money, and she had none.

The Choice,


A fire broke put in a large steamer.
The vessel was headedfor . near Shore
Aman on board was buckling round his
body a belt filed with gold. Just a
he was about plunging in the waves.
a little pitiful voice was heard, say
ing \
"Please. sir. can you swimP"
yes"
Then won't you save mep"
He could not a v the gold and the
child. SO fiinging down the gold. he
said.=
''Yes. God helping me. 1 will save
you"
Giving the child SOM instructions
how to act, he plunged into the water
The surf was almost too much for him.
The gold would have carried him I'M
der. but the pressure of the little cling
ing arms lent force to every stroke. He
fought for that precious little life as
well as for his own, AID both were
saved.

Some tima dnr;nr r.,cnaon.

Some time during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. it is said. a good and loyal
subject brought to the New England
colonies the seed of the ox-eye daisy.
1t was considered a rare beautiful ex-
otto. Since then the plant has devel-
oped into a first-class nuisance over
half the farms Of New England and
the middle states. 1t also appears to
some extent in the meadows and pas
lures Of the west. 1t has found q use
at last, however. A Boston belle one
day placed q bunch Of the blossoms in
her belt. and straightway the despised
daisy became all the rage, and daisies
danglo at every bellies belt Staid
Yankee farmers now call Boston girls
tho daisies Of the period.

THE OLD STYLE STEAMER DAY.
There has been much iinpatiercc
on the Part Of the people during tho
mast few weeks owing to the irregu-
lari.v Of the incoming mails occas-
ioncd by the storm. On last Sltur-
dav an overland mail of three days
accumulation reached the city and
the scene in and about the puetuilicn
for few hours reminded old settlers
OF steamer days before the couple
ton of tho railroad, Over thous-
and sacks Of delayed mali matter
were received III Tie afternoon, and
required, in addition to the regular
mail wagons, five large drays to re-
move it from the wharf to tho post
Office. So perfect Is the system,
however, which has been instituted
in the San Francisco office, that this
immense mail was aasotto,! and ready
for distribution within an hour after
its arrival. We arc looking ANXIOUS
ly forward TO the completion Of tho
Southern trans continental road in
the hope that our mails may reach
lis with greater regularity and dis
