Cremation and Epidemics.

A recommendation Of more than ordi-
nary Importance has been made by the
last Grand jury OF New Orleans. 1t is
that tho city should establish q crematory
in which to burn the bodies Of persons
who die Of contagious or epidemic dis.
cases. New Orleans has been q great
sufferer from yellow fever, and other
epidemic diseases seem also to find a
conrenial home there, since the ravages
of cholera have never been 80 severe in
any other American city as they were
in New Orleans. The location Of the
city is one which makes 1t impossible
that ii should enjoy the general good
health Of cities possessing more ele-
waited site and drier climate. In severe
epidemics carelessness and haste in the
disposition Of the dead are common and
add to the fatality of the disease by
contributing to the impurity of the at.
mosphere. with some epidemics the
evil effects Of hssty sepulture are not
temporary merely, but continue long
afterward to render dangerous the
vicinity OF tie cemeteries. II the
germ theory OF epidemic dis
eases he the true one. as is
now generally believed. there is reason
for thinking that cemeteries are the
centers from which fresh epidemics are
started, by the seeds of pestilence there
deposited, whenever the conditions are
right. Dir Freire OF Rio Janeiro, whose
investigations into the nature Of yellow
fever have been attracting attention,
makes assertions that are startling. He
says the ground where yellow fever pa
tents have been buried is all alive with
the germs of the disease, and that such
cemeteries are the means by which the
disease is propagated. One Of DR.. Freire's
experiments was to enclose rabbit in a
box containing some Of the earth from
the grave of a yellow fever victim, and
the result was that in few days the
rabbit was dead, an examination show.
ing in the veins of the animal the char
acteristic germs found in the bodies OF
human beings dying of the fever. IL
the conclusion indicated by the ,e exper.
iments is we'll founded, it is of the first
Importance that the body of every person
dying OF yellow fever should he burned
instead OF buried. aud the New Orleans
Grand jury did well to make th4 rec.
oinme ndation.

The Flood ON Red River.
SHREVEPORT, La, Feb. 2S. = The
water is on a stand. Nearly all the
river plantations for one hundred miles
above the city are under water Below
the city the flooded district extends
ninety miles on the west side, all except
few elevated places being covered.
On the east side, the banks being higher,
the country is not SO badly overflowed,
though several plantations are under
water. 1t is impossible to approximate
the losses of the planters in houses,
fences and stock. The waters spread
out like q seq to the swamps and high
lands. There is much suffering among
the colored people.

CONKLTNG'S SHIRT-FReNT.

Cooking il as unique IS ever in
personal appearance, partly by rea-
son of good looks, which he isn't to
be blamed for, but in a considerable
degree becauie he dret ses in q pic
turesque disregard of tbs ourrey t
fashions. 1 went into court the
other hot day to get a yiew OF him.
He came in like planter of the old
time from a cotton field, wearing a
broad Panama straw hat and suit
Of something thin and yellowisb,
similar. to nankeen. There was
breezy non-conventionality in
the toilet, and to most OBJ
servers it might have passed
for the careless attire of a man
who cared nothing for style and
everything for comfort. But there
was complete refutation of that idea
in his shirt front, which reached
from shoulder to shoulder and chin
to paunch, covering the ex.Sena-
tors ample expanse OF chest with a
stiff, glistening shield and nearly all
exposed, because he wore no waist
coat. No man intent eolely on the
palIiation of torrid torture would
put on shirt starehed like that.
When the court was opened and
Conkijng arose to address the Sur
rogate. l think [ had never seen so
much dignity embodied in a single
human being. he was Hyperion
and Adonis in one. That lasted
about four seconds. Then all his
impressiveness of port collapsed in
disaster SO complete, go irrstriev-
able, that the proud man was for
once humbled. How did it happen
Well, he had undue confidence in
that shirt bosom, and leaned for
ward on 1t. Briefly it supported him
In his grandeur. and then broke in
the middle, letting him double up on
himself, and leaving him to regain
unaided such composure and CONS
placency as he might from his
downfall. On what insecure props
