For generations they dragged along an uneventful existence, their inherent possibilities not being even guessed at? Then we heard only of a river boom, or a flying jib boom, and once or twice of booms as defensive expedients in war time. But suddenly the boom took on a new phase Of development. Its first appearance aa an element in public afiairs was as the Grant Then we had the Blaine boom, the Sherman boom, the Tilden boom, the Seymour boom, the Hancock boom, the commercial boom, the cotton boom, the grain boom, the sugar and molasses boom, and other booms too numerous to mention, Now we are threatened by a respected contemporary a boom of another kind a boom which, not to'put too fine a point on it, will not be regarded as entirely cheerful. The respected contemporary is the New Orleans Times, and its brand new boom is the Undertakers7 boom. This is a sort of new boom which, to use an old saying with a slight variation, will be apt to sweep clean.

But it is just because things are not clean because, in fact, according to the New Orleans Times, they are unutterably and censurably dirty that the Undertakers' boom is to come 'upon us with its array of coffins and hearses. Our undertakers," sajs the New Orleans Times, are a respectable and worthy class of tradesmen. Their hearses are beautiful, also their horses and they bury a corpse with such dignity and solemnity as' makes one almost fall in love with a brick oven even in that ghastly abomination Girod Cemetery." 'And then our contemporary goes on to say that it has no objection to the imminent coffin and hearse boom, provided it were allowed to choose the corpses. I But who would be chosen under this regime Would our contempo rary's contemporaries be spared, or would they be selected as lovely and beautiful contributions to the under takers' boom Tor: out if wet were bound to die for the benefit of the boom we should not, if we did not prefer cremation, object to be buried by Tom Bothick, or Frank Johnson, either of whom, not to speak of worthy competitors. would do the business with a charm ing combination of mournful dispatch and elegant solemnity.

When Oliver Twist was apprenticed to Mr. Sour berry, the Undertaker, somebody knocked at the shop door very early in the morning, when Oliver called out, Does yer want a coffin We would mildly suggest 4hat as a preliminary formality the Times should ascertain that the persons whom it may select for prompt and elegant burial really stand in need of coffins. We are the more earnest in this suggestion inasmuch as the picture which the Tiroes draws of impending death in this city is by no means cheerful to contemplate. The Times thinks that everybody ought to be allowed to die like a gentleman but it does not give its definition of dy ing like a gentleman whether this desirable consummation is to die with one's boots on," according to the prevailing idea on the frontier, or promptly and without unnecessary imposition on one's friends, as Charles II desired when he begged pardon for being so unconscionably long about The only inference that we can draw from the Times's vigorous denunciations of. foul smells and disreputable odors is that to die like a gentleman one must be stretched on a couch of roses or a bank of violets, or sprinkled with millefleurs or Florida water.

It may be well, in this connection, to draw attention to a remarkable discovery in pathological chromatics which the. Times has made. It is no longer yellow fever alone with which we are: threatened by insalubrious diet, but blue fever, green fever and red fever. This is a serious business. How to distinguish these various chromatic diffirentiations is another addition to the many complications 1 of the problem.

In 1878 it was a subject of debate whether or not the prevailing disease was yellow fever. Now we have a Board of Health whose duty it may become to decide a similar points The Times evidently does not believe to any great extent in ordinary medical methods of solving such questions. What then would satisfy our contemporary Perhaps the method adopted with pilots and railway officials would be the proper one examine the members of the Board of Health for color blindness, If a member of health cannot tell yellow fever when he sees it, (and many people doubt the capacity of all doctors in this respect,) it must be on account of some couganital or accidental incapacity to distinguish colors. And if he cannot tell yellow fever, how can he tell blue fever or 1 S3 Ki V7 lvr i' It ir i I 11 1 HU i I' Is 1 WED IT YT 'AFT ZT IT DITI IT: i la i i III green fever, or red fever; all of which our contemporary declares to be alarmingly imminent? Clearly he could not do it. Such a man would be color blind, and being color blind he has no business to be on the Board of Health.

It is a terrible thing to contemplate that we may have color blind doctors on the Board of Health, and that we may all be taken off by a lot of polychromatic fevers without even the consolation of knowing it. This awful should be provided against at once. Let all, the members of the Board of Health be examined for color blindness then we may have some guarantee for a correct diagnosis. TOPICS OF THE DAY. I The Parisian dandies now wear a perfume cane.

Dr. Proctor has been criticising severely the Wr stern custom of self lntrodnctloa.

Thus la the guileless Briton made a prey to the conversational powers of men and women who have grown up with the mighty West. Mr. Proctor protests not bceanse he does not think that tradesman.
