The Executive Committee of the Board of Health of this
Present.. [. Aucoin, President, Drs. Thos. Stark and J.
]. Ago, and Messrs. E. U. Morvant and L. J. Trosclair.
On motion duly carried, all guards were ordered discharg-
ed except, however, at the upper line OF the Parish, both
Lafourche Crossing, where the number OF guards was or
dered reduced to a number sufficient to carry out the modl
fed quarantine regulations as to the inspection of goods and
certificates held by persons.
On motion, duly carried, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, by the executive committee of the Board of
Health of this Parish, That the restrictions established by
all previously adopted quarantine ordinances and resolu-
tons are hereby modified and amended as follows:
lst.-Persons residents of points East, West, North and
South of this Parish, are permitted to enter this Parish when
holding a sworn affidavit executed by them before a compe
tent authority to the effect that such person applying. for
admission, has not been in New Orleans or any other infect
ed place, for more than ten days previous to the date OF his
said affidavit.
2nd.-AH textile fabrics or other articles of commerce and
bills in due form, passing through New Orleans without IN
packing, opening or breaking of original packages, are, from

Gates of disinfection.

The Board warns all residents of this Parish, merchants

Deaf Left Ears.

will you be good enough to let me
walk at your other side ?" said . gentle
man to q companion with whom he was
crossing the City Hall Park. II am
deaf in my left ear, and I have been
trying for five minutes to get on your
left side, so that | might hear what you
say; but you seem to have been en-
deavoring to prevent me-"
"Why, of course I have" was the
reply. i, too, am deaf in the left ear,
and if we change sides Icould not hear
a word you said"
Both gentlemen looked astonished,
and went on their WI. laughing.
3There is nothing unusual in such An
experience" said a New York aurist.
"The left ear is peculiarly liable to
deafness or partial loss of hearing. An
immense number of persons rely
wholly, or in . great measure, upon the
right ear to do the duty Of two, and it
very soon becomes trained to fully bear
the pressure placed upon 1t. Persons
who have been long deprived Of the
hearing of the left ear can usually hear
sounds at a distance far more distinctly
than those whose bearing is divided
between two ears, owing tothe peculiar
sharpness acquired by the solitary or
gan, which is seldom alphabetically
affected.
@The only inconvenience I know Of
in the loss Of hearing by the left ear IS
when one is walking with a lady, or
driving q friend in q buggy, or other
wise so situated that you can not easily
get your sound ear toward them. But
for q constant traveller, such as a drum
mer, such an affection is invaluable.
No noise in o hotel can keep him awake
ct night. He has only to press his
good ear to the pillow, and What can
disturb him ?"-Ner York Sun.
The Fascination Of the Gold Mines.
An old forty-niner says Of gold hunt
ing:
Its the fascination of it. Lor', man,
when you've struck it pretty rich and
can see yer gold right in front of you
when you're piling it up every hall
hour O. the day, with a nugget now and
again as big as a bullet to cheer you,
and then when the evenin' comes and
you count it up and find a hundred odd
dollars just picked out O the earth thai
day-well, there amt nothin' like it
Then, when you don't strike it rich
you always think you're goin' to mex
dav, an it's Just as exciting hearin
other men tell in the evenin' what the,
pulled out as it is countin' over YOU
own. Why, I've been three and fou
months at q time without making a dol
