A PLEASING MEMORY.-The
burial of the late Mrs. Brousseau
in st. Joseph's Cemetery, last week,
recalls to memory an incident that
occurred in New Orleans in 1861.
The Lafourche Guards, raised in
this Parish. and under command
of Capt. Thomas Wick were passing
through and halted at some point
III New Orleans.
The company had had nothing
to eat all day, which fact coming to
the knowledge Of Mrs. Brousseau.
that lady, at once, sent to the men
d. excellent lunch Of ham, bread
which the "boys" had no hest
tatiou to call a dinner, and which
was accepted with the most CRATE
ful thanks by the men. A few
days after the same lady sent a
magnificent flag to the company.
These kind and generous acts

General Grant in India.

Reaching Delhi, weary and tagged out, he
had to undergo the usual formal reception, af-
ter which he was driven to Ludlow Castle. the
quarters of Colonel Young. the British Com
mandant. This once grand city was the Rome
of the Moeu Empire. The region around it is,
like the Campagna of that city, covered with
magnificent ruins. 1t has been overthrown
and rebuilt seven times. and once in the long
past ages it is said to have been thirty miles in
circumference and contained 100000 nhabi-
tants, though now containing only 100000,
while the walls that enclose it are but seven
miles in extent. Chaduey Crook, the Broad
way of the city, is lined with shops containing
:he richest stutis of Oriental manufacture.
There are many odd sights to be seen there,
one of which is 0X-carts in the place of omni-
buses, the drivers sitting on the tongue and
urging the unweldy animals into gallop by
twisting their tails, while pOrters stagger by
under weights that seem impossible for man
to carry
The palace of the Grand Mogul was one of
the chief places that Grant visited. But it is
shorn of its ancient splendor, and is now turn
ed into an English fort. From the old throne
room he saw stretched out below him the vast
plain on which great battles of elephants were
witnessed by the King for his amusement, but
on which now were only groups of English
hall of special audience, in which was II throne
called the Peacock throne, and is said to have
cost 10000 900. But all of its rich ornaments
have been carried away by British officers since
its capture. 1t figured largely in the great mu-
tiny, and its barbarc splendor is fast fading
away. From Advance Sheets Headley's Life

Destroy Offensive Odors.

There is NO means more certain 70
bring disease upon members OF Il family
than allowing infectious matter to remain
upon the premises. The offensive odor
that arises from damp places decaymg
vegetables iu the cellars, uncleancd sinks
and pwyies are almost certain before the
sultry season is over to engcnder some
malignant disease upon those who by
gross neglect fail to disintect in proper
time the atmosphere around them.
Copperas, called sulphate of iron, dis
solved in water One-tourth of pound to
gallon, and poured into a sink drain as
often as needed will keep it sweet. A
little chloride of lime. say half pound
to the gallon Of water, will have equally
as good ali effect, and neither Of these
cost but a few cents.
70 purify cistern water take pound
or two according to the amount of water
OF caustic soda or a similar quantity of
concentrated lye, and put into the els
tern this will disinfect stagnant odorous
wafer, and the cost is nothing compared
two grains Of alum to pint of water that
is not fit to drink, render it perfectly
clear and pure, and the taste of alum will
not be perceived. A little pulverzed
alum thrown into pail of water and al
lowed to stand for fifteen or twenty
minutes. will precipitate all the impuri-
ties and leave it perfectly clear. a larger
quantity put into well Of impure water
will very much improve it.
A damp cellar may be rectiiied by
sprinkling copperas, chloride of lime, OF
even common white lime over the floor.
The most effective of anything that we
ever used to disntect decaying vegetable
matter OF any description is chloride OF
lime. One pound may be dissolved in
two gallons OF water where it is desirable
to use it in liquid form Another
excellent absorbent of noXious smells, is
plaster Of Paris one part, to three OF
pulveriZed charcoal.
The reason that there are so many un-
| wholesome kitchens cannot be attributed
to the lack of means to purify them, but
to the slothfulness of those who have
become accustomed to breathing foul air
yet they complain wonderfully When
| called upon to pay natures penalty by
sickness for the violation of natures laws
A few pennies expended now for purifiers
may save heavy doctor bills, and vii
| certainly pay III comfort when surrounded
| by healthy atmosphere.

How to Send Children to Bed.

Send the little ones to bed in a happy
frame Of mind. 1t requires some dis
cipline and self-denial on the part Of a
weary parent to answer all the foolish
questions and attend to the many wants
that multiply so fast as the hour of bed
time draws near, but 1t is a labor of love
that will bring large recompense. Chill
dren never forget. They will carry with
them through lifes long, weary pilgrim
age, the remembrance of the face that
bent over them at night, and that was
ever associated in their immature minds
with Heaven and God. And the little
tiresOme last questions mean so much to
them. What if we should not answer
them and they never awake here? IN
answered questions and unanswered
problems have followed men and women
through life with narrowing persistence.
And never give thoughtless answer to
