TO OUR COLORED SUBSCRI-
REDS ta

- MIG. Il e&R
We have been told that complaint has
been made by some o. you that our pa
per is not more interesting, and that it
does not contain more of the news of the
day.
Just attend for5a moment, and hear
our reasons for this. In the first place,
we do not set out to make the paper
! mere newspaper. Our sheet is so small
that if we did this, there would be scar
! cely room fov any thing more. More"
over the four daylies published in the
city make this work superfuous.
The end which wepropose to ourselves
in conducting this sheet, looks to the IT.
structiop rather than to the entertainment
of it's readers We have no space to
give to their mere musement; they must
ind that elsewhere. What we want, and
1 intend to try to do, is to put before them
reading matter which is adapted to en-
tighten and do them good in the new
situation in which Providence has placed
them. We wish to give them such
knowledge as may qualify them for their
new duties and trusts. We want them
t, know what is being said and done in
their behalf; what laws are enacted by
Congress and the State Legislatures what
is the state of public opinion, North and
South, with special reference to the guess
tions winch concern their welfare. These
questions, at the present time, are so
many aud various, and withal so impor>
tant, that to shut them out from paper
published in the interests of the Freed
men would be impossible. 1t would be
like excluding articles on temperance
; from temperance paper; or on slavery
from an anti slavery paper. And if we
0 attempt to answer this demand with any
. thing like thoroughness, it must,be to the
exclusion Of other and lighter matter.
We desire our subscribers not only tc
acquie>ce in this plan, but to approve o
5 it. It will do them more good to reaC
such thoughts as are given in H. W
J. Beacher's lecture contained in this week
e issue than to read any amonnt of mer,
b news items however interesting, or an,
number of trumpery stories which end il
G merely amusing.
Let US find something better than thi
e for our little sheet. Let it be made
d means of education source of enlighten
# ment. So, better than in any other way
r can it render an equivalent for what i
d costs. If diversion is wanted, there ar,
: places enough and ways enough to fine
: it. As much of this as is practicable
within our limits, we will give. We eau
o promise no more. =
e Another thing for our colored friends
e to consider is that they are not our only
: though our largest class of 'eaders. We
e must cater for the others, and both write
S and select for their difcation. This We
> prop Sc to do according to the best o.
o or ability; and our readers must agree
e to our plan, and coufde in our judgment
aud not discourage us by uufavorable criti
;, cisms "A long pull, strong pull, and
e a pull all tQgether,' that is the way.

REST IN THE LORD.

REST IN THE LORD.
God sometimes darkens the brightest
norm
Would we know why?
It is that noblest. virtues may be born
In agony.
Only upon the cross of pain and voc
Gould Gods Son die;
Aud souls redeemed by him from sin,
must know
Their Calvary.
If ours then be the lot of JOY or grief,
God chooseth best;
If sick, he knoweth when to give relief
If weary, rest.
Far more than troubled hearts can ever
pine
For happiness,
He, in his love, "a love tender, divine
Yearneth to bless.
We taste no JOY which is not sent in love-
Still less pain;
Though oft, to win our hearts to GOd,
they prove
Alike in vain.
Still, safe within his care we travel on
Through dust or mire,;
To guide, defend, uphold us, there is One
Who will not tire
Or, should we fall, and bruised and Woun
ded lie,
Our lips in dust;
His arm to raise and heal us still is nigh
While him we trust.
For neither life nor death, nor aught below
Nor aught above,
From him can take US; that we ever 60
From his great love.
Co.'S
In the journey of life, always keep to
the right.
We should let our likings ripen before
we love.
Continual praise keeps us in the Will
of God, by which will wear sanctihed
Let man but stand upright, and Dc
is sure to have the whole world at n"
feet.
Unrighteous gain has destroyed NIL,
lions, but has never made one man PCT
manently prosperous and happy
Carefully avoid praising or dlsparag .6s
yourself; the one is part of 1901 VIZ
other is that of coxcomb.
A miser is very generally and not w.
justly regarded as odious and eon's and.
BILE. but is really less so than the Sp'D
thrift.
To find error is easy; to discover .D.'
truth is difficult. Error is on inc t ~

well.

4 Merltorlous Renevolenee.

The Board of Aldermen passed resolution ap-
propriating five hundred dollars for the relief Of
the family of Corporal F. L. Walgamot, of the
police, who died of exhaustion, resulting from his
exertions to suppress the riot at the Mechanics
Institute, on the 3Oth ult In the press of business
before the adjournment for the summer recess the
resolution was overlooked, inadvertently by the
Assistant Board and therefore failed The
consequence is that Mrs. Walgamot and
her children are left in needy circum
stances. Colonel Adams the chief of police
who shared in all the periIs of that day, and car
justly measure what is due to his men, living ant
dead, has initiated subscription among the police
for the relief of Mr.. Walgamots family. A hand
some sum will, doubtless, be realized from thi
source, but is it becoming this city, rescued from
the designs of formidable conspirators by the IN
surpassed courage of our police, that the famil.
of man who fell in the performance of his duty
shall depend upon the kindness of his brothe
policemen? The question is sufficient, we know
to challenge all the grateful generosity Of TIL
people Of New Orleans.

posed of yesterday by Recorder AhernG:

obtaining four hundred and fifty-seven gallons of
liquor, valued at $548 40, from John Lavalle, on
the 9Th June last, by false pretenses, with inten-
ton TO defraud. The evidence showed that the
accused bought the giqRor from Mr.. Lavale
for cash, on delivery but upon the bill tbe
ing presented, he referred The vendor TO q
Mr.. Bailey, with whom he had deposited
the amount a MIR. Smith had been il
partnership with Mr. Lavale some six months
before the transaction, and he claimed the money
dispute between Mr.. Lavalle and Mr. Smith in
regard TO the settlement OF their partnership busi
ness and the argument of the prosecution was
that Mr.. Camper and Mr.. Smith had c0nspired for
the purpose of procuring for Mr. Smith this liquor,
as a settlement of his claim, and that the amount
of the bill w0s deposited with Mr. Bailey to avoid
the consequences Of a criminal prosecution. The

were examined on charge of highway roboery,

Meeting of the butchers OF the Fourth
District.


meeting of the butchers Of the Fourth Dis
trict was held last evening at the corner of Ninth
street and the levee The funeral of a much re.
spected member of the trade having taken place
during the afternoon, the gathering was not SO
large as it would otherwise have been. NeVerthe-
less, very respectable number was present. The
object of the meeting was to suggest to the city
authorities market regulations to secure to
the people wholesome meat; to prevent the
sale of meat which, though originally
sound, may, by long exposure, become
tainted and to prevent the vending of the flesh of
animals, which from various causes may become
diseased before being slaughtered. 1t is highly
creditable to the butchers of the Fourth District
that at this moment, when every hygienc effort is
necessary to preserve the public health, they have
taken the initiative in this matter and assembled
| for consultation, as to the public good and
doubtless, their example will be followed by the
butchers in every other District of the city. Some
body must be the beginner in all such move
ments and the Fourth Disricti justly entitled tC
the honor on this occasion,
| The meeting was called to order by Mr. Charles
Mensnan, who succiactly stated the object fol
which they were assembled
A permanent organization was then ordered
and Mr.. MeDsrnan was chosen president and Mr.
Thomas Woelpersecretary.
Mr. Peter Forshee, Mr.. Mensman and other
whose names we did not learn, made suggestion
as to the best means of securing wholesome mea
to the public, but, as not over fifteen or siXtee
members of the trade were present, twas though
best to defer defiAite action until further meet
ing shall be had, An adjournment to next Nor
day evening was therefore had, and then, it
hoped, every butcher in the District will be /
