certain that tn, city. although far
from clean, is exceedingly healthy
at present. Excepting u few colds
and chills the physicians tell me that
they hear Of no disease. This must
be gratifying to the large numbers of
strangers who Al: here in warm
weather for iheiY first time but l
fear will be'ray them TO their ruin !;
for if an epidemic should make its
appearance. the quantity Of ran ma
ec,iai it would have to work upon
would Civ" it terrible scope.
New Orleans now doubtless CON
Iains NOR. people than ever before
at this period OF the year, and these
in majority of cas- are NOR. liable
to disease than any others who have
settled here. because they drink more
liquor and are otherwise more in
temperate. In spite of the fact that
liquors Of all kinds now costs ncarly
TN times what they did before the
war, nor. is drank by ten times
There has been more new drinking
establishments started than new
stores or any other class of business.
and there Is more money Invested in
ornam.nting these places than would
be required to support all the orphan
asylu,ps in the State Then, there
are the polite and private drinking
places called clubs. where gentlemen
congrega,e in the middle Of the day
and at night to drink, play cards or
billiards. and last but not least there
is that old custom of keeping we'll
stocked side boards so as 10 give the
women and chilGrcn--who are uot
admitted int" grog shops-a chance.
oh, VIZ have material enough for the
cholera OF yellow fever to work up
on should rithor make its appear
ance.
The overflow in the parishes which
border on the Mississippi and Red
rivers. is having the ,.t1ec, of driving
thousands Of negroes from the coun-
try into the city. where there was
already TOO many for tn. comfort Of
.lIc white residents. These lazy and
thrifilcss creatures crowd into small
and cheap ten-mrnts, lofts and out
houses. beyond all reason, and dur
ing the day are to b. seen lettering
about the levcc or asleep in the sun
on the public squares. They are
too indolcnt to work and too poor to
