Opium Ealing iu New Oreans.
Since the days -of De Quincy the
opium-eaters of the Old and New
World have been-steadily' on the in
crease, und now it is mentioned that
there are . thousands in this country
who indulge in the pernicious drug.
The papers Nor th and West,' writes-
a New Orleans reporter, have teemed
with articles on the subject, bnt wheth
er from the effects of the climate or
otherwise, or more important subjects
having occupied the mind, it has not-
been supposed the terrible habit had
foundits way to any great extent, ih
our city. An investigation however,
carried on for the-past few weeks,
shows that the amount of drug sold
in one month alone, is "startling in
deed.
-Standing some weeks baek in the
door of an up-town drug store, we no
ticed a feeble haggard-looking woman
enter, and whispering something to the
clerk, was handed across the counter
a small vial, which, paying for, she,
with frightened looks, humbly left.
"Who is that?”
“Why, O, that’s ; she is ah opi
um eater.”
“What! an opium eater in this coun
try!”
‘•Yes, indeed. Sit down . a minute
and I will tell you. Our store alone,
situated as you see, in an aristocratic
position of the city, sells some twenty-
five ounces a month. It is taken by
many young girls, rich married ladies
servants, old and young. At first,
probably for some pain or illness, but
often for the delusive dreams it awak
ens; and so the habit grows dragging
them in its fatal embrace down, down,
down, until worn-out, miserable, des
perate, they .fade out of. existence. ”
‘-‘Why ho ymi sell this drug then?”
'‘Oh, it’s in our line, and we make
at least seventy-five per cent, profit;
and business is business. You should
see the excuses given for its purchase,
though. A lady will stop in Lor car
riage and ask for a little opium for
for the toothache; another wants some
for her husband, who suffers terribly
from neuralgic pains, and so on. Of
course, when first taken, it must be
taken in very small quantities indeed
— the taker increasing the amount un
til some can .consume almost a quarter
of an ounce daily. It is terrible.
Mothers will leave their children for
it, wives.their husbands, and daugh
ters their mothers, families and-all.
It seems a craving over which there is
no restraint, and which must be satis
fied.” -
‘Why is this never found-out?”
‘Because it’s kept too quiet. A la
dy of well known respectibility took
an overdose and came near dying. Her
statement was that she bad a severe
neuralgia,- and had taken a little laud
anum to ease th<£paih; and, pristaking
the quantity, caused what was almost
a fatal accident. Of course she was
believed,”
“Twq years ago, about, a y rang la
dy^ quite good-looking of the .utmost
respectability, used to call here at this
store every-once ih a while for opium
piUs to rllieve her mothers neuralgia.
To-day that young lady has lost all
her beauty. She is yellow, sliruken

FOR 1874.
We only want to send opr paper to
those who desire to read it, and . those
who do not express their desire to take
it are presumed not to want it Those
who havenotrenewed^iadbetter have
their names entered upon the list for
1874 at once. No subscriptions expir
ing. with 1873 are transferred to the
list for 1874, unless renewed, with
few exceptions. Take -yonr county
paper, and pay for it in advance.
We propose in the future to do bus
iness on the only plan that precludes
the possibility of failure, and to
avoid the embarrassments and anxie
ties that the credit system engender.
We have now several hundred dob
larsip small sums due \ which would
cost ns one half the amount to collect.
We are going to spend about ten dol
lars ih dunning these parties by mail;
and will then be forced’to consider a
a dead loss all claims that are not
paid voluntarily, for we now lay down
the rule that we will not annoy our
self with suits at law, but appeal ouly
to the Court of Honor. Those who
do not feel hosok bound to pay us at
once, can feel that we have charged
their bills'to our iioss accounf.
After, this startling statement it oc
curred tO.us that wo might • endeavor
-to find out other facts in the case.
Galling 'at several of the principal
drug stores, we heard it stated.that
opium sales were quite large—larger
than had been for years; were on the
increase; and it Was supplied because
more people take it. One large drug
gist said that a great many persons
once addicted to drink,-but who did
not indulge in the ardent,- took opium
as a sort of antidote; of course, they
said its effects were terriblef but it was
business, and as it paid, of course they
sold.
Mentioning the matter io the police
ah officer was found who readily as
sented to show all the Chinese dens
in this city where the heathen indulg
ed ih the baneful drug. A low room
filled with .a fearfully sickening odor;
around the walls flat bunks of plain
unpainted wood, .on which reclined
some five or six inanimatejbeings, was
all that was visible upon a hasty
glance.
But that was enough. We had read
descriptions of ' these thing before,
and we didn’t care to stay. Our main
object had been to satisfy ourself that
such places existed-in New Orleans,
and we were; satisfied. ,
These poor wretches differ! greatly'

peared So varied and so perfect. The
array of choice and desirable fabrics
is sneb as to bring them within the
reach of all, and those who court the
Goddess of Modes in her “Merry
March moods,” will find her aacom-
mouating in manner as in matter. If
the ladies in the city or out of it do
not appear-well and stylishly dressed,
with the facilities: at command and
within the lattitudh of social classes,
then the fault is tnelr own, and may
not be found in the means, but lies in
the injudicious and careless disposi
tion of it.
There is a mathematical system of
dress-cutting by which one is able to
fit a diversity of shapes with accurate
and unfailing certainty. The princi
ple long since adopted by first-class
tailors is equally applicable to mantua-
makers, and, better still to dealers in
paper patterns of perfect models.
The dress is made to fit the figure
and the figure to fit the dress. There
fore we repeat the assertion that an
ungraceful or ill-shapen garment is,
to say the least, an inexcusable if not
a positive outrage against “the eter
nal fitness of things” and the powers
that be.
The new modes are character
ized by simplicity and quiet ele
gance.
Colors and fabrics are mixed more
than usual. Light and dark green,
claret and pink, cerise ,blue and ecru
stand prominent among the late com
binations. Striped silks in wonderful
array are among the standard goods
or the season.
Dresses for fall toilet dispense ftith
second skirt. The first is elaborately
trimmed with shirred puffs and every
species of flat -‘diagonal,” and the
train is simply ornamented with a
pouf.
We are pleased to see that crinoline
is again in requisition for the sum
mer. It is more comfortable, and
it is impossible to hold in place the
gauzy fabrics without turnure sup
port. With the single trained skirt,
with pouf, it is indispensible.
The Eroii Frou jnpon is a firm cal
culated to meet the requisitions admi
rably. There is a laced apron under
neath to hold in place the front and
sides of the costume, which are still

addition of the saine.
Black toilets are still in high favor.
For visiting they areelaborately trim

of tinted foliage renders them exquis
itely striking. Yet there is no toilet
for summer wear which can equal the
canvas de soie. It is remarkable for
hghtness, and may be had iu all the
new shades of blue, green,: pink, vio-

War Talk ih Europe.
It is stated that Bismarck’s opinion
is that another war with France is in
evitable; that he will be backed by
Russia, and that all Europe will be in
volved in the contest. It has not been
long since all the Emperors of Europe
in hilarious after dinner speeches de
clared that the peace of Europe should
be maintained. So, if this be true,
we can put no more faith in what
Emperors say when drank, and the
proverb in vino veritas falls into Jisre-

Signs, Tokens and Warnings.
I believe in signs, tokens and warn
ings. I say this knowing that many
wfll criticise, but I have had too many
demonstrations to allow me to doubt
that certain coming events cast their
shadows before.
If you drop yonr dish-cloth it is a
sign that some one in yonr family is
going to die. I have seen it tried.—
My mother dropped her dish-cloth one
morning, and just seventeen years af
ter, to an hour, my grandmother fell
dead.
If yon break a looking glass it is fl
sign that yon are going to move soon.
ly of death, as. is often the case with, knew a family once where the wo-
young children and elderly people;
new blood might be injected into the
veins with perfect safety and, with a
most miraculous benefit to the patient.
To illustrate this,. the experiments
would be entered upon.
The great question that divides the
profession is in regard to the merits
of using blood by what is called the
immediate method, or that of defibra-
tion of the blood before using. These
methods are now under discussion by
the profession in London and else
where. In the first of these, the Av-
eliu transfusion instrument is used.—
It consists of a simple rubber tube,
eighteen inches long, in the centre of
which is a hollow ball of rubber,
which acts like the compressive syr
inge. The donor and recipient are
laid side by side, and the veins being
opened, the the ends of the instru
ment are inserted. The tube then
being pressed on the side of the recip
ient, the blood rushes in to fill the
vacuum, and, being closed and
opened next the donor, itl is forced
into the recipient’s vein. As blood
coagulates npon coming in contact
with any roughness, and as coagula
tion is fatal, and also as air is liable
to enter the veins by this method, and
as air produces death, it is very dan
gerous, and should be' superseded by
the other process, which consists of
defibrating the blood previous to in
jection. “I,” the processor said,
“never intend to use the direct method
again.”
Dr. Robert McDonald of London
has invented an instrument which in
the latter or defibrating process is
absolutely safe. It consists of a glass
tube with a central ball, which holds
two ounces ef- blood. The blood
being drawn from the donor into a
basin is beaten with a stick to pro
duce coagulation, and the fibrum,
which is iu ho way an essential ele
ment of blood, being removed, the-,
red corpuscles containing all the life
remain, and by means of the mouth
piece are sucked into the ball. The
tube is then held upright end inserted
into the vein of the recipient. The
blood thus flows naturally, and it is
impossible, as air and clot are lighter,
and rise to the top. that they should
enter.
^ The experiments were then begun
The first consisted of showing the
pressure of blood in the arteries. An
instrument, called by- the simple
name of the Haemidenamometer. was
used for the purpose. It was merely
an upright glass tube,
' A large dog was brought in under
the influence of chloroform, the caro
tid artery was opened and the india
rubber tube was inserted and con
nected with the instrument. The
blood immediately, mounted to the
height of six feet and over, and rose
and fell- with the pulsations of the
pulsations of the heart. It marked
fifty pounds pressure. This experi
ment being concluded, the animal
was further subjected to a drain on
man broke a looking-glass and defied
the sign, and that any one who be
lieved in signs was lacking something
in the head. What followed? Why,
at midnight that very night her house
took fire; the firemen came, and the
unbelieving woman was floated right
out into the altoy.
If the tea-kettle sings it is the sign
of some accident. There was Jones,
he didn’t believe it; and said-he’d lick
the hide right- off of any of his chil
dren who entertained any such belief.
Now, mark the result. Just eleven
years, five months and twenty-six
days afterward, Jones fell down stair,
drove his thumbs up, broke his knees,
put his arm out of joint and injured
his spine for life.
If you happen to set three lights ih
a row it is a sign that present plans
wiE turn ont as you hope for. I had
an uncle who set three lights in a
row, and his plans turned out all
right. He got the horse, just as he
had planned, an! was well ont of the
neighborhood, but the sign could not
do. any more, and a he was overhauled
by a vigilance committee and left
hanging to a tree to meditate. He
wasn’t worth much, except as a corpse,
when he got through meditating.
If you see a white horse and don’t
spit cver your shoulder and make a
wish, it is another bad sign; you are
going to meet with a great disappoint- -
ment. A relative of mine used to
pooh-pooh such things; and said he’d
be busted if he spit over his shoulder
if he met forty white horses. But he
caught it. He didn’t get drawn on
the Circuit Court Jury as he planned,
and was obliged to go to work and
earn his bread or starve. Since then
he always spits over his'shoulder at
the sight’ of a white horse, and he is
always on a jury or gets big Wages for
being a witness.
If a load of hay tips over in front
of your.house it is a good sign; it is a
token that friends are coming with
presents. I did not use to believe it
until ori:one occasion, jnst as a hard
winter was setting in and -wood was
$12 per cord,, a load of hay was upset
at my gate, and three days afterward
my brother-in-law and his family, un
cle and family, mother-in-law, two
aunts and a cousin arrived at my
house to spend a mouth, bringing me
several'presents, among which were
two pounds of dried apples, a recipe
for making a new kind of soft soap,
a pair of stockings for the baby, and
a bunch of.herbs. After these seven
teen persons had been in my house a
whole month, I was ready to believe
in almost any sign or anything.—M.

Trichina’s Ylclims.
A letter from Chester, Ilk, says:
Hogs, great and small, in the Kaskas-
kia bottom, for the past nine months
or more have been severely afflicted
with trichina which has been wide
spread and terribly fatal—a genuine
epidemic among the porkers. The
fatality of the disease has been indeed
fearful: For a^ time thfc farmers in
that locality believed their hogs to be
dying from cholera, which, every now
and then, makes its appearance among
the swiiie kind; especially in the bot
toms, supposed to be caused by mias
matic influences; but the malady now
prevailing is of another type, and far
more destructive.
The Kaskaskia bottom, an area of
some twelfe thousand acres of dvttii-
try,- 6atty laSt Fall and until Winter
set in, in many localities, was literally
strewn with dead hogs, great andsmal
and but few farmers having hogs
left to suj>pty the year’s demand for
meat. It is estimated that no' less
than from 10,000 to 15.000 head of
hogs have died with triehiua in that
neighborhood within the past nine
months, and though the disease has,
in a measure, ceased its terrible rav
ages, it has by no means disappeared.
It can scarcely be donbt-ed but that
u^lty.7iL»e^^^ie,*everyTiog to. the
region of the Country spoken of is
more or less effected with the loath
some disease, and the people through
out the dotth'try should be posted with
regard to this state of facts.
With so fearful an agent of death
the human family, whole communities
are in constant danger of being swept
away, and that too, in the most horrible
manner imaginable, and much caution
should be exercised in the use of pork.
No doubt many men, under such Cir
cumstances, believe it to be policy to
keep quiet, as they may lose money
by coining square oat with the truth;
but life is more precious than money
and the cost of saving will be much
less than that of losing.

Freaks of Nature.
A French paper of recent date states'
that the strange freak of nature known’
as Millie Christine or the “Two-head
ed Nightingale,” has lately had a
difficulty with a railway company in
France. The joint sisters it appears
took one ticket cm the ground that
they were but one person, a proposi
tion to which the company did not as
sent, and an action in the mutter is
pending. Some years ago, in Holland
a child presenting the peculiar struc
ture of the.“Two-headed Nightingale,
having been brought to the baptismal
font, the clergyman felt unable to de
cide whether two baptismal rights
should be performed or one, and the
matter was still in the hands of the
bisop for decision, when it was finally
decided by the death of the candi
date.
In 1828, one Mrs. O’Riley, aged
nearly 43 years, and residing some
where in the County of Armagh, Ire
land gave birth to three son.s, who
were connected by a band precisely
resembling the one -by which the Si
amese twins were bound together.
These three brothers lived to tLe age
of ten years, and diedsimultaneouslv.
During life they were examined pro
fessionallyby Dr. Abernethy and Sir
Astley Cooper. The narator of this
remarkable case of United Irishmen
says that clergyman is still living who
can fully corrobate his statements.
Conservatism iu Freemasonry.
The New Orleans Bulletin semarks,
concerning the fraternity in the Uni
ted States: “Here is a body of men
composed of ah classes and profes
sions, entertaining every kind of opin
ion 6n religion and politics, and exist
ing in every State in the Union, who
come together and exhibit among
themselves the utmost harmony of free-'
dom and action. No word rf oppro-
bium escapes from the lips, of anv one
to insult and wound the feelings of
another. No fierce anathema of . sec
tions is heard./ -No extravagance is
indulged in. Everything is qniet,
gentlemanly, respectful, dignified.^
The bitterest pqjitieal enemies mec-t
face to. face, and you shall never know
by their acti:>ns or words that they do
not belong the same party. Religion
ists the most opposite embrace each
other in ther arms of a most exalted
charity. Fanaticism finds no en trance
into the society of the Brotherhood.
Not a wave of discord disturbs the
waters of the inner temple, lio plnnge
into the abyss of atheism, rant or law
lessness. But what is the’ secret of
their unanimity—of the conservative
front which, without a tremor, they
maintain amid the general commotion,
hatred and fanaticism existing around
them? It is found, it seems to strike
us in one word—toleration.”
