NEW ORLEANS UND1sMAYED.
Rut Precautionary Methods Being
Instituted.

Instituted.
New Orleans, Aug. 10.-President Oil
phant called a special meeting Of the
board of health this morning to act on the
report of yellow fever at Pensacola. AT
ter a full discussion the board decided not
actually to quarantine Pensacola, but to
detain passengers coming from that city.
There was a rush out of Pensacola last
night and this morning and forty-eight
persons were taken off the Louisville and
Nashville train at The Rigolets, who were
escaping from that city. They will be
detained five days and that will be the
length of detention of all passengers from
Pensacola who have not certificates Of
health. Those armed with certificates of
health will be detained two days.
ALL TRAINS TO BE WATCHED.
Inspectors will be sent out to-day to
watch the trains. The authorities here
do not believe that there is any danger of
the fever reaching this city, as rigid pre-
ventive measures will be taken. BY the
same system of detention the fever was
kept out of New Orleans several years
ago when it prevailed with considerable
violence at Biloxi, on the gulf coast.
NO UNUSUAL ALARM.
There is no alarm felt here. The mem
bers of the New Orleans base ball club
were among those caught at The Rigole,
and they had to 60 back to
Bay St. Louis. The fever at Pensacola
will probably have the effect of breaking
up the league.

AS Others See Us.

In the press reports of the visit of the
State Legislature to this institution,
there was general reference made Of
our personal appearance, and it was
conceded that it is thoroughly apprO-
pirate to the supposed debaSement of
our souls. The assertion that the Wis
age is mirror upon which the soul is
reflected, is. | think. one of the most
difficult position to maintain, and one
that is fraught with innumerable and
insurmOuntable contradictions. And
to say that our cOuntenanceS are eSpe-
cially redolent of expressions that are
indicative of the character, is fallaciOus.
If you were to take three hundred of
the citizens of any city of the state,
place them in our position, and call
forth all the wiseacres, to pass judg-
ment upon their appearance, there
would be but one decision: "They are
criminals, and they look it," If you
were to take man, put blue suit with
brass buttons on him, give him star,
pat mace in his hand, and place him
on thOroughfare, everyone seeing him
would say, Policeman. Ii you were to
question them as to how they know he
is. they would look again and murmur:
Blue suit, star, mace, of course he is a
copper. don't he look like One?" And
so it is in reference to our appearance
People come here to see criminals, and
from the moment that this gloomy pile
looms upon their vision, until their
eyes rest upon the man, it is ever pres
ent. The massive walls, the iron bars,
the uniforms of the inmates, and the
numerous other accOutrementS of the
institution that command their atten-
tiOn, are all preliminaries to seeing the
convict. And when, finally, their eyes
are turned to contemplate the man, it
is only after the vision has penetrated
those cOlored glasses, (and what is more
inimical to an impartial Judgment :? }
which magnify dense mist of preju-
dices, that they obtain view of him.
While our appearance is not wholly
due to the conditions with which we
are surrounded, these conditions, never
theless, are entirely accountable for the
construction that is placed upon them.

The Best Things.

No small share of the time and labor
devoted to learn business is spent in
gaining knowledge of the value of
things, and knowledge, too, that
covers only very narrow field. The
miner comes to distinguish rich ore
from the worthless; the clerk in the dry
goods store learns the qualities of diff
ferent kinds of cloth; the dealer in pre-
cious stones becomes expert in estimat-
ing their worth. Every man knows
his need of accurate information in his
own line in order that he may not make
a failure. He needs to be sure, ALSO
that he knows all that is meant by "his
own line" in life, or he will make a
failure more disastrous than any that
he breads. That multitude who had

JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY.

AL hail the dawn of a new day breaking
When a strong armed nation Sh Ill take away
The weary burden from backs that are aching
With maximum work and minimum pay.
When no man is hOnOred who boards his millions
When no man feaStS on anOther'S toll.
And Gods poor, suffering, starving millions
Shall share the riches of sun and soil.
There is gold for all in the worlds broad bosom,
There is food for all in the worlds great store;
Enough is provided if rightly divided;
Let each man take what he needs-nO more.
Shame on the miser with unused riches.
Who rObS the tOiler to swell his hoard:
Who beats down the wages of the digger of
bitches.
And steals the bread from the poor mans
board.
Shame on the owner of mines whose cruel
And selfish measures have brought him wealth.
While the ragged wretcheS who dig his fuel
Are robbed of comfort. and hope and health.
shame on the ruler who rides in his carriage.
Bought by the labor of half-paid men
Men who are shut out OF homes and marriage.
