THE EPIDEMIC.The full list of interments for the past wee.

from tl* 21st to the 27th August,. in all the cemetestesi-faur city, presents a total of 1,628 deaths.

f t•s number. weref Yellow Fever, inclu-dinga fever c uproportiondaily regis-tered as "un ' an& dwhich are chiefly con-fined tb o cemetery. As compared with therecordg• 1 previous week,, we find the increasetin the w number of-deaths, to be 86; and ofdeaths fro Yellow Fever 78.

At the beginning of the past week, the mortalitybecame appallingly great-far exceeding that of

my. other period during the epidemic.-Had thestatistics of the last five days of the week beensimilar to those of the two first-the record wouldhave overtopped the present figures by at least 200.But fortunately for our desolate and plague-strick-en city, the Fever apparently attained its highestpoint on M6inday laats and ever since has beenmanifestly, though slowly declining. This is clear-ly enough shown by simply placing in juxtaposi-tion the interments fiom. ever, each-dlv, sinceTuesday last---they are re ectively ' 31-1 9g--19916•-159. Yeterday the reposrtwas incomplete.St. Patrick's cemetery not having been returned.Without it, the interm •tseirom Feverare I l--add30 for St. Patrick--44 being tk average numberof interments in that biyiin and we have154 or five less thani on Satrda

S20th .A/ugust.#ASiiiNGTON ITEMS.

The correspnudesi of the Repablic mentions therumor,;that the government has not Instructed Mr.G(dsden to offer a money consideration to Mexicofor a relinquishment ofall claim to the 31esilla ter-ritory. The Government will insist upon it "wntitle, but has authorized our Minister to puricasea porti6n of t e St ! zro, •, with the neceparyriglhtofwayf' -Sitcan acqnuisition would be ofmuch national importance, and would give eclat to'n administration desirous to be considered progres-sive, and to leave to history the legacy of an en-larged boundary.

The writer says further- Amongst the eminentst.ngers in the city, I may mention Col. EdmondF'uchet, of Louisiana. He is a Creole veteran ofthe war 1814.'i 5, and was the aid of General Jack-son at the battle of New Orleans, He is now aidto his Excellency P. C. Hebert, Governor ofLouisiamn. Colonel Fouchet is understood to beonhis way to New York for the purpose of super-intending the engraving of the battle of New Or-leans. It will be the first time he has ever visitedthat part of the Republic. The painting which hehis in charge is said to be a large and spirited rep-resentation of the momentousacene it is intended tocommemorate.

INTERESTING To SI.RVE OwNERS.-In the case ofLevy vs. Marks, taken to the Supreme Court ofAlabama, from the Circuit Court of Dallas, at thelae June term of the Supreme Court, Chief Jus-tice Chilton gave the following decision, whichcannot but be interesting to slave owners, it beingthe law of Alabama.

1. When the contract of hiring, as reduced towritiug is general in its terms, not restricting theemploympent of the slave to any particular business,the baifer is authorized to employ hitn in any busi-ness to which slaves are ordinarily putand whichis not attended with extraordinary risk to peril tohis life or health, and parol proof is not admissibletoshow that the sieve was only to be employed ina particular business,

2. The hirer of a slave may re-hire to him ano-ther, being responsible to the owner for his propertreatment, and for his not being employed other-wise than is authorized by the scope of his originalcontract of hiring.

3. Ifthghirer ea loys the slave in a hazardousbusiness, not warrled by his contract, or re-hireshirmto aeother to be employed in such hazrrdousbusiness, and the slave, while thus employed, iskilled even by inevitable accident, the owner mayregard such misuse of his slave as a conversion, andrecover the value from the hirer.

S UNPREC1.DiENTED TRAVELING.-We were inform-ed on Monday of a feat of walking, by two females,mother and daughter, which for its extraordinarycharacter, we nevel knew equalled. The femalesare of Irish birh, aged abopt 4at 2e respective-e ly. They arrived in Nief city, from theirmother country (so t ntt ,) fiveweeks fom last Fa i came do ne, the

"the.mily ft•e•t• and settledneat i h j m ehiit a year since. When they leftthe b brought tthem over, they had leftabout seven dollars in money. Not having enoughto a e them to this city, and being eitirestcarat; r resolved on walking as d as ey-coui t k possibly they might van oppr-

tnp eraosrisof the rogld. cTlw s threedays they walked about forty iles a day. Thefourth dap they ro ona apeight train aboutthirtymiles and walked fteeinmre. Thus theycontin-ued day afteday, st at cosltry houses fortheir •bod,- to rest •• . At some of theplaces they -were refused r"lonsisn, while at oth-ers they wvrre,treated humtanely. They kept therailway track from New York city up to Albany,theneb to tifao. At Buffalo, they rested twodais, and tn started again.They w aed to Dunkirk, thence to Erie and

ieveland, and so anxious were they to meet theireands that they iassed through Cleveland for this

city When at Spring Valley, on the little MiamiRailway, on Sunday morning, they requested ofconductor Fuller permission to ride to this city,briefly stating their case, and recent tramp--eatis-ied that they told the truth, he generously tookSme on board .and bronght them to Cincinnati.

,auaythey before asked of th cdutorsof h mission to ride, and w n every

S WQRK FOR CHILDREN. '"

There is no greater defect in educating children,than neglecting to accustom them to work. It isan evil that attaches mostly to large towns and ci-ties. Children suffer much from it. The parentnever.gcosiders whether the child's work is neces-sary drnot to the child. Nothing is more uncertainthan their future independence and comfort-muchdepends ,n being accustomed to work-accustom-el to provide for the thousand constantly recurringwants that nature entails on us,

If this were not so, still it preserves them frombad tiabits-it secures their health-it strengthensboth mind and body-itenables them better to bearthe confinement of the schoolroom-and it tendsmore than anything else to give them just views oflife.

It is too often the case that children, providedthey spend a halft dozen hours of the day at school,are permitted to spend the rest as they please.Thus they grow up in the world without a knowl-edge of its, toils and cares. They view it througha false medium. They cannot appreciate the fa-vors you bestow. s they do not know the toils theycost. Their bodies and minds are enervated, andthey are exposed to whatever vicious associslionsare within their reach.

The daughter, probably, becomes that pitablehelpless object, a novel-reading girl. The ron: ifhe surmounts the consequences of your neglect,does it probably after his plans and stationwor lifeare fixed, and when knowledgoe, for one his im-portantobjeets, comes todolate.

No man or woman is fully educated if not accus-tomed to manual labor. Whatever accomplish-ments they possess, whatever their mental train-ing, deduction must be made for ignorance of thatimportant chapterof the world's great book.-Denm-ocratic Expositor.

HIOW THE MONEY GOES.

The following example of the progress of luxu-ries in the great cities. is published in a New Ha-ven paper, in reference chiefly to what may be seenin New York: "In the bookstores in this city anunprecedented number of splendid annuals are tobe found, some of them as high as $30. This fora mere fancy book is no mean sum. I saw fans to-day in a fancy shop valued at $9, but Bonfanti hasthem as high as 80 or 100 dollars. They are beau-tifully ornamented with precious stones and oblongmirrorsof the size of a dollar, and sometimes in ad-dition a minute gold pencil and ivory tablets on theside of the handle. Nuffs are sold as high as 150dollars, in Maiden lane, pocket hanketchiefs hangin Broadway windows at $50 to $75; iflute of tor-toise shell $120; while Black, Tomplns & Ball,successors to Marquand & Co.. jewellels on Broad-way, the day before New Year's retailed behindtheir counter fancy goods in their line to the amountof five thousand and ninety dollars ! So we go. Thisevening near the same store, are seen stated twowretched looking women, were emaciated infantsin their arms, begging for bread ::--Dem. Expositor.

FATAL AFFRAY.-On sunday, the 21st instant, anaffray occurred on Bayou Rouge, between NicholNicholson, a resident of this parish, and John Nic-kel, an Irish laborerof Cheneyville, (Rapides.) inwhich the former was killed by being stabbed witha knife in the handsof the latter.

Mr. H. G. FARRELL.: Your Arabian Liniment ishighly prized here. We cured one of my neighborshorses of the Stiff Complaint by about four or fiveapplications, and I cured one of my own of theSweeney. Our Sheriff, Joseph Dykes, cured hishorse of a bad Cork with it; he also tried it on acolt that had the Distemper very bad, and cured itimmediately. He says it is decidedly the greatesthorse medicine he ever used. There have beennumbers cured of Sore Eyes with it. I find it a ve-ry valuable medicine both for man and beast.
