[Seem the. Hse Jsoumt.IYou're tired,edear mother, your cheek is quite

pale:o0'tS a douwn yorrsewing and tell mn a taleffairleatma set, in the good times of old,

Rlchbnwpmta and jjewels, and purees of gold?Not abbut little Riding Hood crossing the moor-Was the wolf that sie met like our wolf at the

'door?Shall we never walk ont where the bounee so tallRAve late o'er each window, and lamps in each

Where the curly-haired children play over theWe night bear their gay laughter and talk as we'd

pass.Muas yonpit here and work till your fingers areacre?I think we might steal by the wolf at the door?I'll lay down yonrework-ohe, how warmmit will be-My nice little cloak'-why touthought 'twas ftr melOnce, always to garments an fine I was dreemed.But I shan't oak for thio, if you think 'would hbe

best;Yet Ican't understand what you told me before,That it might, for a while, keep the wolf from the

door.

The clothes I have on are so thin and so worn I-I try te he thankful they never stay ternBut I should like name new ones, with tamsal and

braid,And stockings not shruaken, nor faded, nor frayed;

k And a pair of new shoes-how they'd creak on thefloor!

But then he might hear them-the wolf at the door!The room's growing dark, and I can't see to playBy the light at the lamp that shines over the way,And the shadows that flit o'er ise gloom on the

wallThey frighten me, coming so shapeleps and tall;Oh, now I would beg ferna candle once more,If you thought he'd not see us-the wolf at the

door.

And the fire on the hearth, it has died away quite-Won't you kindle a new one, dear mother, to-Don't you love the soft flames as they crackle and

glow?They would warm your poor hands, that are cold

as the snow;And the kettle would sing-hark!-Is that the

bind's roar?-Oh, uothcr?-a fear 'tis the wolf at the door!

Well, hear :c my proyero. and I'll lie down in bed,And while your soft arne lapaoeed undor my. head,Won't you tell me again toe e trusting and brave,Though I march over thorns on my way to the

grave ?To keep sin fromn my heort lest it eat to the core-Diene mother, is sin like the wolf at the door?

And tell me of mansions still grander than thoseWhere the rich children play and the grass greenly

grows ;Where they'll give me bright robes and a crown

&And se fruits from the gordens of God I'll be fed;Oh, mother! to think there we'll live evermore,And be in no fear of the wolf at the door!

E1lT.TRIE JOCKEY CLUB RAlE8.

SOCOYID DAY.

The Metairie Course was enlivened on Saturdayby another multitudinous attendance, which, as onFriday, comprised the wealth, fashion, and loveli-nes of this city and the surrounding country. Thedense mass of vehicles which filled their allottedenclosures, and ranged to the distance of squaresoutside the course; the great crowds of gentlementhat covered the quarter-stretch and filled thestands; and the very large attendance of ladies,were eo many sights to behold and admire. It wasdifficult to realize that there were un many cabs,carriages and buggies in New Orleans, as wereglutted together on this occasion.

The weather was pleasant, being beezy, andaunny and cloudy by turns, threatening rain atone time, but kindly holding its moisture for theevening, whilst the track was dry and dusty, beingperhaps too much on for the fleetness which wasexpected of the racers. The anticipations of apartwere keen, and those anticipations were bound tobe more than realized.

The announcements of the day were two sweep-stake races, one for two-year olds, mile heats,

nAt the other for three-year olds, two mile heats.Fttsss RAcE.-The three nags entered were Mr.

Kenner's Sid Story, Gen. WeU's gray colt byYorkshire, Mr. S. Minor's Viola. The first-namedwas the favorite at odds.

Pirst Heat.-Viola and the gray jumped onlabreast, with Sid Story behind. The gray wasahead at the quarter pole. They bunched in theback stretch; going into the last turn, Sid showedahead of Viola, and attempted to take the leadfrom the gray; he gave him a hard fight for it, batfailed; and the gray, to the surprise of everybody,fle- under the string two lengths ahead, in 1:47t.Though the favorite was beaten, the confidence ofhis friends appeared to remain unshaken.

Second l1eat.-The start was precisely similar tothe first; Viola and the gray going of abreast, andSid behind. The gray soon showed ahead, keptahead, and won the heat and race in beautifulstyle; Sid chasing him ambitiously all the way,and Viola only taking the trouble to save her dis-tance. Time, 1:40. It may be imagined what ex-citement this defeat of the favorite created, andwhat joy shone in the faces of the fielders.

SECOND RACE.-Out of fifteen nominations forthis, a race for three year olds, two mile heats, fivewere announced for the contest. These were Gen.Wells' Uncle -feO, Mr. Kenner's Souvenir, Capt.Minor's Reserve (all children of Lecomte,) Messrs.

At McGrath and Harper's Wagner colt Endorser, andthe Messrs. Doswell's Revenue colt Erehequer.Uncle Jeff was immensely the favorite. The poolsmade ssp the night before showed the nominationsto rank in favor of betters in the following order:Uncle Jeff, Souvenir, Reserve, Endorser and Ex-lhequer.

At the track the betting appeared to be uni-versal and heavy; Uncle Jefl'being taken by someagainst the field, for odds, and odds given on himagainst any two named horses. There were timebets, and side beta, and all sorts of bets; in factthere was more betting and heavier betting on thisrace than we have seen for many a day. The racewas a spirited and intensely exciting affair.

First Heat.-The animals were brought upnearly all of them full of foolishness, and ap-parently bent on not going off squarely. At last,they got off cleverly together; Reserve leading,Exchequer coming second, Uncle Jett and Endorsertogether, and Souvenir last. They kept warmlytogether; at the half mile, Reserve and Exchequerwere still the pilots; Uncle Jeff having taken thethird place, and Endorser the rear. In the runaround for home and the second mile, there wasplenty of crowding and swapping places betweenthe three hindmost, Souvenir entering the secondmile third, Endorser fourth, and Uncle Jeff last.

*These positions were kept throughout the mile, thestring stretching and shrinking by turns. Thecontest between the leaders coining home' wassplendid; Exchequer straggling desperately totake the lead, but to no purpose; Reserve leadinghim a length or two, and winning the heat by alength, in 3;37;j. It was surprising enough thatUncle Jefl, the favorite, did not win the heat; butit was still more surprising to see that famous racercome home not only last, but distanced. The ex-citement was very great; the backers of their

Uncle looked blank, and the fielders were perfectlyuproarious.

Second Heat.-Uncle Jeff being now out of thecontest, there was a lively interchange of opinion

in regard to the four still engaged in it. Reserve

stock was up, of course, and so was Exchequerstock. The multitudes, however, had in store an

astonishment almost as great as that of Uncle Jeff's

failure in the first heat. A fair start was made.

The opening-out showed Reserve again pilotingthe crowd, with Souvenir next, Endorser third, andExchequer last. These positions were kept, withfluctuating gaps throughout the first mile. Theycame home in close company, and opened the sec-

ond mile nearly in a bunch. The " beginning ofthe end" displayed itself in this mile. Whilst Ex-chequer went to work and passed Souvenir, En-

4rser laid himself out likewise, passed Exchequer,and after a beautiful and exciting struggle, tookthe lead from Reserve before reaching the half

mile, led from that out, and came home winner ofthe heat in 3:434; Souvenir abandoning the contestafter losing her second place, and coming homelast; for which she was drawn from the contest.Reserve and Endorser now having a heat esah, theexelteameatwas high in regard to their thfrduirag-gle, with Exchequer.

Third Heat.-The three got ofr prettily, andopened out, Reserve ahead and Endorser last.The contest around the first mile was excitingenough. They erowded together in the run home,and passed the string so fairly abreast that ablanket would have covered all three. This wasthe most beautiful and exciting feature of thewhole race, and was cheered most lastily by theassembled thousands. They kept close together,and swapped places as they clipped it around;Reserve allowing Exchequer to pass him, and En-dorner passing both, thus leaving Exchequer themiddle place as before. As they rounded Into thelast turn, Endorser widened the gap behind him,and came home winner of the heat and race,amidst the most uproarious shouting, in 3:444.

This day's meeting, resulting as it did in the un-expected defeat of the two favorites, and the "highfall" of the enthusiasts who had piled so muchmoney upon them, will long be remembered insporting circles.

We append a summary of the two races.

KEY-WEST CORRESPONDENCE.

Special to the New Orlen CsOent.JK0EY-WEST, isarch 26, 1800.

cEd. C-rscenf-The U. S. C. S. steamer Corwin,Lt. Comdg. Wilkinson, U. S. N., left this port onthe 14th inst. for Tortugas and the west coast ofCuba, for the purpose of making deep sea sound-inge in the gulf stream between Fort Jefferson andBahia Honda. Capt. Wilkinson was eminently suc-cessful with his sounding in deep water, and theresult of his observations will be given to the sci.entific world through the proper channel. Prof.W. 1'. Trowbridge, of the Coast Survey, was onboard the Corwin, and had an opportunity of try-ing his new apparatus for sounding in deep wa-ter. His experiments were satisfactory, and thenow instrament, thoroughly tested, bids fair to beof great service in future investigations in deepwater. Attached to his improved lead is a cup, soconstructed as to bring up a plentiful supply ofthe bottom, a desideratum of great importance insoundings, especially so to navigators approachingthe land in thick foggy weather, when the natureof the sand or mud brought up with the lead de-termines the position of the vessel. This apparatusis extremely simple, and can be attached to theordinary lead at a trifling cost.

Prof. Trowbridge leaves to-day in the Isabel forWashington. He has been occupied doring thewinter in the erection for the Coast Survey of amagnetic observatory in this city on lands adjacentto Fort Taylor. This observatory is the first ofthe kind in the United States, and the varieties ofthe magnet are recorded by a photographic pro-cess, at work every moment of time, and fromthese photographic delineations correct data for athorough investigation of the laws of magnetismwill be deduced. This observatory will be of greatservice to the navigator, by furnishing him withrecords and rules by which future changes may bepredicted with certainty.

The U. S. stoop-ofr-war Brooklyn, Capt. Farrgat,comdg., arrived on the 20th from Norfolk, Va.Minister McLane and Col. Pickett were passen-gers. The Brooklyn coaled, and on the arrival ofthe Isabel from Charleston with dispatches forCapt. F., sailed for Havana and Vera Cruo.

The U. S. steamer Mohawk, Lieut. T. A. Craven,comdg., arrived the 23d from a cruise. The Mo-hawk will "break out" at the naval depot. Shewill remain in port some weeks, partly cleaning,coaling, etc.

The U. S. C. schooner Bowditch, Lieut. Tyrell,comdg., arrived the 12th from Charlotte's Harbor.Lieut T.'s party go North in the Isabel the 23th.

The ship Sarah G. Hyde, Capt. Bailey, from Mo-bile, Ala., with a cargo of cotton, bound to Havre,arrived otf Marquesas Key the 20th inst., water-logged and leaking badly.

Capt. Bailey meeting the pilot boat Champion,Capt. tiger, hailed her, and placing one of the pi-lots on board, came up to town for assistance. Asteam pump belonging to the Underwriters wasgot ready and sent down. The wind having diedaway, Capt. B. asked the aid of the steamer Cor-win to tow his ship to port. Capt. W. S. Kinnercould not refuse, and at once proceeded to 'theship, and with great trouble succeeded in gettingher into the harbor. She was taken through theWestern Channel at night by Pilot Richardson,drawing 21 feet water, and without touching.

- Capt. B. has concluded to go on with his ship, andhas placed a steam pump on board. He does notdoubt the practicability of reaching Boston in safe-ty. About 700 bales of the cargo are damaged.The leak is thought to be occasioned by the start-

I ing of a but, commenced on the second day out ofport, and up to her arrival she was gaining on theship's pump twelve inches per day.

The brig Mayflower, Strong, sailed on the 25th,with the cargo saved from the brig Tiger, lost nearthis place. She receives $850 for the charter.

The schooner I. H. Daly, Capt.Newell, arrived onL the 18th from Jamaica, in distress, leaking badly.t Her cargo has been discharged, and the vessel wis1t be thoroughly repaired.

SILtS AT AN IssunBE REDUCTION.-Mr. Todd'sderlioement ovuem the <erates induamment to ladles to call and

k exsne htsr stack of silks, now seling out, auording to htsss-If sus etom, at greatly educed pocss.

N W1 nkllin t t.Yesrireay was, by a coincidence in the sales.

dar, Palm Sunday, a day largely observed by theCatholic persuasion, and also the 1st of April, orAll Fools' day, which is observed more or lea bythe whole population.

Great quantities of the green leaves which areused to represent palm, and of palm itaself, wroughtInto fanciful shapes, were visible in front of theCatholic churches, and in the hands of the multi-.tudinousn devotees, women, boys, and children. Theweather was altogether lovely, and the whole po-pulation appeared tobe out enjoying it.

As All Fools' day, it was largely celebrated.Boys, girls and siggers were sent flying around onall sorto of fodl's errands; valuable looking paperparcels andotherlpackages were found lying aboutth estreets; many a husband and brother at break-fast found himself trying to eat oysters of cottonfried in butter; We heard enough to know thatthese sort of things were extensively carried on.

During the forenoon, a man stood across thestreet, opposite our office, looking steadily at thesun through a piece of glass. ife kept on gazinguntil a crowd of fifteen or twenty people had col-lected to gaze at him, when he threw away theglass and walked off whistling.

Numerous persons went to the corner of St.Charles and Canal streets, to look at the bronzestatue of Clay, which they heard had been placedon its granite pedestal during the night; but theyfound nary Clay!

This reporter was offered, by friends, all kinds ofvaluable hints about murders, duels, robberies,and other exciting things, which he received as induty bound, in honor of the day.

Some one tried to sell the Coroner by leaving athis olfice the following note:

"The Coronner will please call soon as posibleat 127 Customhouse street. A litle child off Mr. L.T. Batt was almoste torn to pieces by a big dogand died this morning about 11 o'clock.

The fun was begun on St. Charles street quiteearly; in fact, before April was an hour old.Charley L- , on his way home, comfortable withthe sundry " night-caps " he had taken, was pass-ing the City Hall, when a watchman stopped himand told him that McClure, or " Sam," had justbeen taken into the lock-up. Charley loves Sam,he does; he likes his oysters and things. Charleybolted into the police-office, and inquired; FrankAmes, the night-clerk, told him it was so. Charleywanted a copy of the charge; there was none;Frank said they had not given him the charge, asit was probable the matter would be settled quietlywithout the necessity of entering anything on thebooks. Charley inquired for the Mayor, the Re-corder, and the Chief of Police; was told that thelatter might be found at some of the Clubs; andaway he went.

At one or two of the Clubs, it is probably knownwhat a noise Charley made in his fruitless searchfor the Chief. He gave up the hunt at last, butwas determined not to go to bed whilst McClurewas in the Lock-up. He went to Dick Murphy's,and after some trouble get Capt. Dick out of hisbed. Dick loves Sam, too, le does; he half-dressedhimself, in hot haste jerkingonhispants and shoes,and putting merely his coat on over his undershirt;then off he flew for the Lock-up, with his suspend-ers dangling beneath his coat tail. All breathless,he asked Frank Ames what McClure was in for;Frank replied, "For being oat on the first ofApril !" Capt. Dick at once turned to Charley, andsaid, " You d--d "- but it is unnecessary to de-tail what he said. " Suffis to say " that he gavethe equally innocent Charley a very early PalmSunday blessing, and went back to his bed, whilstCharley, without saying a word, resumed his soli-tary march, and homewardwended his weary way,feeling that somebody had come, like the cows inGray's Elegy, "winding elowly o'er the lea."

An actor at the St. Charles Theater heard, justafter twelve o'clock, that one of the doorkeepershad been nippered and jugged for knocking a mandown. He went flying to the Lock-up; the streetswere slippery from the little rain that had fallen;as he bounced on the banquette in front of theLock-up, his treacherous heels betrayed him, and hehasn't seated himself on a' hard-bottomed chairsince. He didn't mind the fall though, at the mo-ment, and after finding out that it was the first ofApril in the morning, he mizzled.

The alarm of fire at one in the morning was anApril fool alarm, which evoked many a pious ejac-ulation from the breathless runners, when theyfound out what day of what month it was.

HANDosoiE TcSTiMsNIAL.-The pupils of the FirstDistrict Boys' High Sihool, pn Thursday last paidtheir late French teacher, Mr. Marc Roux, a high,sod we will add, a very deserved compliment. Asplendid gold-mounted cane was procured, andMaster Charles F. Buck deputized to present it toMr. Roux in the school-room, which he did, in amost happy manner. Mr. Ronx, taken by surprise,was considerably affected, and responded in a fewremarks expressive of his pleasure and appreci-ation of the compliment. TJse affair was one alikehonorable to the boys and their teacher, and onewhich we take pleasure in chronicling. Mr. Rouxretires, we learn, from the High School, where hehas long been an able and efficientFrench teacher,on account of ill health.

Tots GreAvFOlTAcz.-The announced race be-tween Schulat, of Kentucky, and "The Unknown,"of Phdladelphia, came off at the Creole Race Coorseyesterday afternoon-the distance two hundredyardo, and the prize a wager of $5000, Therecould not have been lm than five thousand peoplepresent; the crowd wan imm hse. Great sums ofmoney bed heen bet on the result, the "Un-known," otherwiso the "Trenton Boy," being thefavorite at odds of two to one.

The track was nicely fixed off for the occasion,and a cnmmittee of gentlemen experienced insporting matters acted as judges and timers. TheUnknown beat Schnltz about ten feet, making the0le yurds in lesn than 10 secondo; very fast time.

The excitement during and after the race woe pro-digious. Owing to a disareement in the watchesof the timers, and the imposibility of setting thematter right, the judges proclaimed that therewas no lime totbe announced, and that all betteontime stood drawn, According to club end sportingrules, this decision must be recognized as final.

For the first fiwty yards in the race, chltien wasabout a foot aheadr; then the Unknown got evenwith him, and they kept even to about 120 yards,when the Unknown left his competitor by degrees,and caie oat ten feet nheod, as above stated.

Bloth showed themselves splendid runners, andtheir performance was much admired, The friondsof Schultz, we learn, intend bontering the Un-known and his backers t another test of 100 yardsWe are informed that a bona eide wager of 010,000,or $5000 a side, has boos made on thin hondredyard race, which is fixed to come off at Louisvillein June,

After the foot-race yesterday, therd' was moreexcitement. Mr. J. C. Cndney's horTe 0at andMr. C. Elis' mare aldy galtert trotted at twomile heats to harness for 01000. The race was agood one, Mat winning in two heat;o time, 2:reand 2:00.

And after this there was fon; a scrub race of amile, between a horse sad a mule. The mulestaid behind till $Isey got itot the home stretch ;then he laid hio ears back and pasoed the horse,winniog by a length or so. The rider of theo horse,in checking hio courser, did it so awkwardly thathe wan unsaddled ; he was throwen on the noeck ofthe heant; be rolled over, but hogged the horse,held on to him, got his legs mixed with the horoe'efore-legs, and he and the beast went " ker-whallop"in the dust together. Neither was hurl. The funof this race was prodigious.

Fins.-The grocery of Mr. Phillips, at the cor-ner of Nayades and Jackson streets, took fire atabout 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and was en-tirely destroyed, with all its contents. The firewas attributed to incendiarism. The loss was setdown at about $12,000. We did not hear as to in-surance.

Yesterday afternoon, two little frame shanties onCarondelet Walk, between Villere and Robertsonstreets, were burnt down. The fire started from achimney which was burning itself out.

A DoarESTc DRAMA.-Tom Taylor (who, by theway, if not the celebrated author, is neverthelessquit. a genius in his way, and has been the authorof veveral works which have not yet appeared inprine.) gave his first to the public on Saturday last,taking a part himself. The plot of the drama is asfollows: Toms come home tight; don't like thelooks of things around him, his wife in particular,and undertakes to lather the conceit out of her.But unfortunately here we have to say that thedrama was interrupted by the appearance of somevandalic policemen, who, deceived by Tom's per-fect acting, actually thought him in earnest, carriedhim first to the lock-up and then to the Recorder,who, likewise deceived, sent the unfortunate geniusto the Parish Prison for two months.

A BeT oa SronT.-Mr. John If. Bruin treated thehabitues of the beer saloon at the corner of Poy-

dras and Courtland streets to a bit of sport, a fewnights since, which, if not agreeable to Mr. Jos.

Cowen, the individual operated upon, was nonethe less enjoyed by the "fancy " present. itseems that he became possessed of the idea thatthe said Cowen had not a due appreciation of his

fistic science, and determined to demonstrate it on

occasion. This occasion presented itself on thenight in question, and the demonstration was soperfect that Cowen was completely cowed, andBruin carried off victoriously to the calaboose,from whence he was taken, next morning, with allhis glory, before Recorder Summers, who was so

pleased with his society that he was loth to partwith him; but was induced to do so after havingreceived his solemn assurance, backed by those ofseveral friends, to call again en the 4th inst.

Teen Bosy or ana Scicmx InesrtrFeD.-We no-ticed the fact a few days since that the body of anunknown man had been found in the swamps, be-tween Carrollton avenue and Metairie ridge,above the Shell Road, which plainly indicated acase of suicide. Since then the body has beenidentified by a pistol and snuf-box found on It, tobe that of David Loeher, a German, lately a resid-ent of the Third District.

GRAND JtRYs Ras or.-Tbe quarterly report ofthe late Grand Jury was laid before Judge Hunton Friday. We subjoin the more interesting per-tlions of it:

Your Honor remarked recently that crime is likeunto a hydra, which is no sooner out down thanuitsprings op to life again; and thin jury can ,cIeer-fully testify to the fact that your Honor has beenunremitting in your efferas io destroy the fell men-ne. Cs thout number have been disposed ofwith n little delay, that there are now hot a few`left for trial on theodocket of tha Court. The admi-nistration of jlice has been prompst and energetl,for the law in better maintained when punihimentfollows cimely on the heels of crime, while the fairname of the innocent lathe sooner vindicated.

We do not wish io flatter, but we must in justicerefer to the conscientioul activity of the DistrictAttorney in the prosecution ofhis duties, in wrest-iag from the dockete of the Recordersi Courtscases which should hame been sent up immediatelyfor trial hut are allowed in rest there fsr longperiods, while witnesses and prisoners are de-tained in the Parish Prison sometimes fur months,and thus esbiected to confinement often beyondthe time which should'e fixed by a judicial son-tenem.

Far from recommending, like some of our pro-decessero, that the jurisditeon of the Rtecorders oeextended, we are of opinion that the exercise oftheir powero sbhuld he restricted within theirpIresent limits, to committing for trial before ahigher Court, believing that trials by jury in crim-inal cases are the great safeguard of our liberties.Moreover, we would recommend that a law bepassed, compelling Htcrders to send up theirpapers in complete order to the Criminal Court,within a given time, as short as possible, under aheavy penalty.

Much has been said by previous juries in regardto the sale in this Slate of lottery tickets, andagainot gambling houses, owing to the inefficiencyof the law on the subject. No information hasbeen brought before as. We conusider that gamesof hazard have the must baneful and demoralizingtendencies upon the poorer claseso, and are sureto lead to idlensas and distaste for honestlabor. By legalizing gambling houses, theotigma of ohame nnw felt by the youngand inexperienced, in be ig seen to Indulge intheof evil partimeswould vanish before the sanc-tion of the law, and an increase of recklees vicewould he the comequence. The State, like care-ftl parent, umold watch jealously over the evil in-fluences to which her children are exposed, andpam a law which, by holding sot a recompense tothe informer, would become effective.

In this repurt we wish ts allude particularly to acams of death by poison, which wee recently beforeus fcr investigation. As the reault showed, wecould detect nothing upon which in hame an indici-mont, but we do severely censure the -physyicianwho so improdently gave a certificate sf death bynatural cause, without being acquainted with thecircumstances attending the death of the victim.If such a practice does exist among pbyeicians ofthis Staic, it lo dangerous in the extreme, and cal-culated to serve as a veil to the meet heinooscrimes ; sod it is Incumbent upon our legislatorsto pot an end to it, by making the offense punish.able by Oine and imprisonment.

Oar attention has been calied to the many sect-dents, eften resulting in death, which occurred onthe Carroliton railroad within the pastycar, andwhich we can attribute Is no other cause butgroin negligence and the moot inexcusable disre-gard of all precautions for their prevention on thepart of the Comepany. We respectfully suggest inthe Common Council the expediency of au ordi-diusuce compelling the engine, when in motion, tokeep a hell continunlly ringing, no that pedestrians,and particularly vehicles, at the intursections ofetreeto, may be made aware of approachingdanger.

Many complaints have becen made in regard tothe obstruction of our thoroughiaree byhboxes andlurniture carts. Far from being remedied, lihe evil.has become etill more intolerable. We respect-fully refer the attention of the Mayor and properauthorities to the almout impassable condition ofRoyal street, one of the main arteries of commu-nication between the lower and upper paris of thecity.

The remainder of the report describes the usualvisit to the city prisons and charitable imstitutions.

The uncleanly compel their owe body, throughito millions of mouth:, Fo re-absorb their owo ohim-inations, once digested and excluded. This is thechief cause of all diseases. The weakest part ofthe system suffers first-the head aches and is op-pressed with a sense of fulness, the lungs are troe-bled, the kidneys are complicated, the bones ache,rheumatism, goat and other pales and paris areinvolved and experienced. Tia whale body isalive with pain; the blood becomes excited, andlike a atrong man when assailed, struggles to es-cape, or hocrto frost him the assailant who has sein-ed him. So the blood, chafed by its attack, be-comes fearfully excitod, and with increased speedchohes through the channels of the body like someturbid and swollen stream, seeking through someweak portion of its embankment to force back theintruding foe. It is thrown from the longs by ex-pectoration in the form of phlegm.
