THE 1882 NEW ORLEANS CHOLERA.
The Filth +Fiend Largely Resp0nsi6le-
saI,. Some Interesting Facts.
New Orleans Picayune

The Filth +Fiend Largely Responsi6le-
Some Interesting Facts.
New Orleans Picayune.1
The population was then So, OS4, and the
cemeteries swallowed up 5000 of these in
the twelve months, a death rate of 147. 10
per 1000. But these figures do not convey
the whole truth. Yellow fever was prevail
ing, and when the cholera appeared in Octo-
Der having been brought by the steamboat
Constitution from st. Louis, fully 1000 of
the inhabitants had fed. Of the remaining
$4,000, no less than 5000 were swept off by
the cholera in the space of about twenty
days. One sixth of the population persisted.
AS DR.. Jones, recent President of the board
of health, says in speaking of it: ''The air
was polluted by the unburied and purifying
corpses which accumulated i'll piles in the
cemeteries across the streets. Trenches
could not be dug with sufficient rapidly TO
cover the purifying and moulding corpses,
and frequently buried corpses were exposed
in digging the graves. The stagnant water
became contaminated and the bitches and
cutters were reeking with the foul putrid
drainage from the graveyard" OF the cause
of this uneXampled affiiction DR.. Jones also
says: "With the accustomed ignorance,
indifference and incompetency of the civil
authorities of New Orleans, the cholera found
this city in filthy condition; cutters reek-
ing in filth. the streets qaugmircs of mud
and filth, the houses built upon low, i'll
drained sites, the privies OVERLOOKING with
urine and eXcrement; the drainage canals
choked; the cemetery located in the heart
of the city, badly constructed, badly drained
and crowded with corpses.''
The people in their ignorance resorted to
the craziest expedieuts. Cannon were fired,
tar was burned in the streets, and burning
tar-barrels covered the cemeteries, affording
a brilliant illumination for the carnival of
death The disease appeared on the oath of
October, and its duration was brief. Had
the ravages extended from early spring
through the swetering summer, more than
half the population must have been swept
away 1t reappeared the following year and
claimed 200 more victimes out of the small
population which remained to risk the ter
rors.
In 1S4S, the latter part of November, it
came again, and the records show that l.
646 died from it before the close of Deem
Der. Continuing through January, Febru-
airy, March, April and May, 1919, it in
creased in violence and claimed 3,176 vic
Tins. By that time the population had in
creased to 1872 900, so that the epidemic was
nothing like so malignant as it had been
sixteen years before.

Woes of a Minister.


minister in Cleveland rode to church
last Sabbath on a bicycle. AS he swept up
to the sacred edifce large Newfoundland
dog, belonging to the senior deacon, came
numbering out to greet the pastor. The BIZ
cycle struck the canine head on, under a
full head of steam, and run him down with
a shock that could be plainly felt with the
naked eye. The reverend took header.
and damned his high silk hat down over his
ears so tight that he had to crawl clear
through it to get out of it. The scattered
leaves of seven head sermon flew around
the avenue like "A theological snowstorm.
The dog made Rome howl with its walls, and
attracted crowd of 500 people. The par
sons coat was split down the back, and his
trowsers ripped across the knees. He pinned
up the knees, and he had to wear pepper
and salt sack coat the sexton loaned him.
When he appeared in the pulpit In this garb
the congregation smiled: and when he an
nounced his text, II, Kings, xii, 6. ''But it
was so the priests had not re-
paired the breaches-''there wasn't dry
eye in the conventile. And now the ques-
ton before the church is: ''Should the pas
tor ride a bicycle to church, or has the dea-
con a christian right to own dog!"

THE ST PAUL SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST

he would retire behind the drag and write
something down on piece of paper.
The Captains curiosity at length exhaust
ed his patience. He watched his opportuni-
ty, therefore, and came upon Corker sud-
denly just as that individual made an entry
on the mysterious sheet.
"What are you up too" he asked. Corker
was momentarily confused, but he answered
with dignity:
Pm making hinwentory, SIR"
'What they deuce do you meant"
"A hinwentory, sir, by Mr.. Byng's or
ders," responded the butler, somewhat
ruffled.
The captain paused moment in thought.
1t might be important this piece of paper.
"Come, Corker,'' he said. 'let me see that
paper and I'll give you sovereign"
Couldn't do it, SIR" answered the incor-
ruptible Corker.
ooh, well, hang it, I'll make it fiver!"
Mr. Corker was not proof against the extra
inducement and so he handed over the
mysterious slip.
"What on earth-Do you mean to say your
master told you to make this list!'
The butler nodded.
"Well, I'm blessed! Oh, this is altogether
too lovely Here, I'll keep it for bit:
Won't he open his eyes when he sees it!'
Byng did'not reappear until shortly before
stumps were drawn for the day, and he made
lame excuse for his long absence. Car.
bury, as 1t happened, did not see him again
till late in the evening, when he found him
In state of great mental perturbation, pour
ing over small sheet of paper, on which
certain hieroglyphics were scrawled in pencil.

''you look awfully bad"
My hopes are shattered" said Byng, in a
dismal voice; my fondest illusions have
been rudely dissipated; the dream is over"
what are you talking about2'
Look at this" answered the philosopher,
in his most tragic tones. Carbury took tine
aper and read:
Two platefuls mayonnaise, 2 ditto Per-
igord pie, ditto lobster salad, 2 quails in
aspic, 3 meringues glaces, 6 glasses cham
payne, 3 helpings Strawberries and cream,
2 ices, glass of liquer brandy
well, what is tl 1t reads like a menu"
ut is the disgusting record of the guzzling
propensities of Miss Lexington. l ordered
Corker to keep count, for after what you saw
at Ascot / suspected her of materialism-
even OF sensuality-and my worst fears are
confirmedr'
And you mean to say you won't marry
her because she likes good lunch!"
Never would l link my fate to one so

start for Palestine tomorrow morning. You
must come, SO get ready. Good night!''

wIND-GARDENs.

Midway between earth and sky,
There the wild wind gardens lie
Tossing gardens, secret bowers,
Full of songs and full of flowers,
Waiting down to us below
Such fragrance as we know
Never yet had lily or rose
That our fairest garden knows.
Oh, those gardens, dear and fair,
Where the wild wind-faries =
Though we see not, we can harken
To them when the spring skies darken,
Singing clearly, singing purely
Songs OF Elf-land, surely,
And they pluck the wild-wind posies.
Lilies, violets and roses.
Each to each the sweet buds finging,
Fostering. tending them, and singing.
The sweet scent, like angels pity,
Finds US even in the city,
Where we, toiling, seek as treasures,
Dull earth's disenchantcd pleasures.
Oh, the gales, wind-fowers laden,
Flowers that no mortal maiden
In her breast shall ever wear!
Flowers to wreathe Titania's hair,
And to strew her happy way with,
When she marries some wind fay with
Oh! wind gardens, where such songs are,
And Of flowers such happy throngs are,
Though your paths | may not see,
Well | know how fair they be.

Scarcely l feel its touch so light:
