The Evil of New Orleans.

L kxC II VII Va AvO" SAAOCAASs |
n. O. City Item.l
How much longer is New Orleans
to be disgraced with the concert sa-
looms, which have wrought such ter
rible havoc in the morals of the COM
munity and which continue to do so
day after day? They are moral
pests, which should be eradicated
without delay, and they can be if
the people aud the authorities make
up their minds to act.
AS readers of the Item are aware,
these places are permitted by law
to conduct their vile business upon
the payment of a license, but the
amount of the license was made so
large by the law -makers-s5,00O to
the State, $4,000 to the city-that
1 it was thought this would prevent
men from entering into the occupa-
ton of keeping these dives.
The lawmakers, however, reck-
oned not upon the immense profit
TO be made out of vice. There are
I now in New Orleans three concert
dives whose proprietors are willing
to pay $4,000 year for running
them, that is, they profess to be will
ling to do so. AS matter of fact,
but one of these men has paid the
license, yet the others are permitted
to keep open house, rob the pnblic
nightly and breed sin and crime Of
every description in the city.
/ The Item contends that the act of
the Legislature permitting these
hell-holes to be in operation is ind :
feasible; it does not admit of the
slightest palliation. The argument
of revenue from this source, which
comes from some misguided minds,
is monstrous. Better an empty
treasury than one filled with money
from dive-keepers, who arc greater
robbers than the men Of the high.
way. But, in verify, this source OF
revenue is myth. 1t exists on
paper only. Suppose the degraded
creatures who keep these mora
pest houses, did pay their license
to what would it amount? Thirty
thousand dollars only. If vice is t.
be licensed, is not this a very insig
! nificant sum to receive for it
Hence do we see that, as sourcs

One of the most curious burial customs
still existing in Ireland and in Somerset
shire, England, is that of placing salt
upon the breast of corpse as soon as it
has boon properly ''luid out on the cool
ing board. In England, where the custom
still prevails among u people who boot the
imputation of being supcrsiitious, it is
claimed that it is done in order "to pre-
vent air from getting into the corpse, and
thus swell and bloat it," Campbell and
Morcsin both refer To tho practice as u sur
vival of cid time supcrstitiols burial rites:
They quote largely from ancient writer's to
prove that carly Christians all regarded
salt rs I'M emblem Of Immortality and ctcr-
nifty. and that on such accounts il was
ancicntly used in the manner above men
toned. Hartman is authority for the state
mcnt that the early Germans not only put
salt under the tongues of their dead but
also put little cylinders of rock salt in the
right hands of the sick as soon as it was
learned that such persons wcro near death Is
door.
In most hcathcn countries, where all
kinds of superstition prevail, salt is used
rs a charm in frightening away evil spir-
its. and it is alleged that the Patagonians
frequently strangle their children TO death
by forcing salt down their throats to drive
out dcvils.-St Louis Republic.
