Fees for Profanity.

led. P. c. ADVERTISER Sir-There is a
most fragrant evil existing in this com
munity, due to the free use of rum, viz:
profane and vulgar language used on the
streets at all hours. Arrests are frequently
made on complaint of reputable citizens
and taxpayers, who not only hear the
obscene and filthy language used, but their
wives and children hear it also. An arrest
follows. and instead of the rascal being
brought before the Police Magistrate, who
would surely send the culprit to the chain
gang, he is allowed to deposit s. or SO as
bail, and is let loose. OF course he forfeits
the bail, which is a gain to the treasury,
and is ready for repetition of TIE offense.
We have very stringent law against pro-
fame and vulgar language. Why can it not
be enforced? CITIZEN.

TREASURY DEFALCATlON.

A Confidential Clerk at New Orleans Rpbs
the Tr asurv of Probably $4,000.
NEW ORLEANS, LA. June 6.--JUhn X.
Aufdmarle, for seventeen years confiden-
tial redemption clerk in tie United States
sub-treasury in this city, has abSconded with
several thousand dollars of the Govern
ment's money. The exact amount of the de-
faJcatIon has not yet been ascertained, but
ts believed TO be more than $4,000. z. S.
Herwig. the sub-treasurer, will make the
amount good. Mr.. Herwig received a as
patch from Washington this morning, TO
the effect that kilograms descriptive of the
man had been sent to all parts of this cOUn-
fry, Mexico, Canada and Europe. 1t is be-
leyed that Aufdmarle has gone to Mexico,
but as he has been defaulter TO the Govern
ment of the United States he can be appre-
hended and returned from any country.

I'm the accounts of mutilated currency and
United States notes deposited for redemp-
ton amounts to SIS, 343.51. Mr.. Sample
also reported that all efforts TO trace the
redemption clerk have proved unsuccessful.
In speaking of the defalcatiOn to-day, the
United States Treasurer said he proposed
20 make full and complete examination Of
the affairs of that sub-treasury. He says
that it is possible that the total shortage
may be increased to $4,000, and intimates
that Aufdamarle is not the only person con-
cerned in the transaction. The Govern
ment will suffer no loss, as it is amply pro-
tected by the bond Of the Assistant Treas
urer.

IN THE SICK ROOM.
Hints by an English Physician as to
Care of the Sick.

Hints by an English Physician As to the
Care of the Sick.
Do not walk on tiptoe, for this, in
addition to its unusual elaboration of
the gait, invariably causes a certain
amount of creaking.
Speak in low tones, but don't whis-
per; a whisper will often awaken a
sleeper who would not be disturbed by
ordinary conversation; and never say
''Hushr' Let your clothes and foot
covering be of as noiseless and unob-
trusive a character as possible, and in
steal of gliding and lettering about
like a rickety ghost. do not hesitate to
walk. If you have occasion to say
anything in the room, say it so that the
patient can hear it if he wishes. and do
not let him be aware of your consplr-
inc privately with others, especially at
the door.
The door has much to answer for.
If it be visible from the bed, people
open it cautiously, put their heads IN
and slowly withdraw again. II, as Is
more frequently the case, it is screened
by the bed curtains, mysterious open
ings and shuttings are heard,
unattended with any ingress or
egress, and soto voce cOlloquies 60 on
outside When you enter, do so hon
estly and at once; do not spend five
minutes in turning the handle. like a
house breaker, thereby producing
series of irritating little clicks, finally
terminating in big snap, with which
the door flies open. If the latch be at
all rusty. a handle that is slowly wound
back in this way will often stick, and
either require to be ratified back into
position. or, if left as it is, may start
back suddenly after time OF its own
accord, with report like pistol shot.
1t is ALWAYS we'll to recollect that 1t
bv no means follows that sick per-
son is asleep because his eyes are shut;
he NAV be acutely conscious of all that
is passing in the room, though unable
or unwilling to make any sign; and
nothing can be more maddenlng, I'M
der such circumstances, than to have
people hush-sh-ing and whispering
around, and creaking about on the tips
of their toes We have all sympathized
in our hearts with poor Sir Leicester
Dedlock when his tongue was smitten
with paralysis, with his sister con-
family bending over him with clasped
hands and murmuring, He is asleep"
till. goaded to desperation. he makes
signs for his slate and writes: 81 am
not.
Never stand at the foot of the bed
and look at the patient. While talking
to him it is better to sit by the side of
the bed, and as near the pillow as pos
sible, so that you may converse easily,
while your face and body are turned in
the same direction as his. BY this
means YOU can make all necessary OBJ
servation of his features without en-
forcing the arrest of his eyes to your
own, which is so embarrassing and dis
agreeable to one lying in bed, and is
almost unavoidable when facing him.
Keep him in as comfortable a position
possible, by all means, but don't be
% demonstrative in smoothing the
pillows and little offices of that sort.
Fidgety attentions will worry him and
do more harm than downright neglect.
