National Refreshment Saloons, where the
soldiers from every part of the Union were
fed during the late war were an honor to
Philadelphia, and there is peculiar pro-
priety IN the circumstances that Philadelphia
should inaugurate plan for the endowment
OF a National Institute where the orphans OF
these same heroes may have home md re-
ceive an education This is what the Trus.
tees of the Riverside Institute are aiming
most successfully to accomplish. Acting
under the charter of the Washington Ii
brary Company, incorporated by the state of
Pennsylvania, they are offering stock at the
low rate of one dollar. per snare. and will
give to each subscriber a beautiful and yalu-
able stee! engraving, worth at retail more
than the price of the stock, and as an addi-
tionul Involvement will distribute among the
stockholders presents valued at 100000.
la the distribution every one has an equal
chance to obtain large presents; one is worth
$4,000, another $4,000, &c. Who can re-
fuse to do a patriotic and benevolent action
on these terms.

A Coon IMHROvEMENT.-Street Supervi-
sor Charles Engel, in the First ward, has
lust done good job on Ohio street, in the
slough, he having filled up that street, across
the swamp leading from Rock River street
to South street, the south side of the slough.
This is the next crossing above Exchange
street and opens road from Wollenhaupt
& schnitger's corner to the high ground
across the slough.
Lieut.. Engel has done this work from an
appropriation made sometime ago, for his
ward, but not heretofore expended and we
think he has made a jadicious expenditure.
The city should, as fast as practicable, fill
the streets across the slough, and those run
ming up and down. Then we can require
the owners of lots to bring them to grade or
forfeit them-and thus get all the low ground
raised above high water mark.
The new road built by Lieut.. Engel is
now passable, though it is not up to grade.
1t is a good beginning however, and we hope
to see the example he has set, followed on
the other streets.

MAN DRowNEp.-As the steamer Reserve
touched our levee, last Sunday night about
2 o'clock, German deck passenger was
noticed by one of the hands to walk off into
the river between the boat and a barge
alongside. The officers of the boat were not
informed of the affair until the boat came
back from the other side at daylight. The
name of the passenger is not known. He
had taken passage for this place, and said
he was plasterer by trade and lived here.
1t is supposed that in landing he mistook
the barge for the landing. In~the absence
of the boat we are unable to learn anything
further, and have been unable to learn that
ANYTHING has been done towards finding the

A CASE OF YELLOW FEVER IN Rock Is
sAND.-Last Saturday there arrived in. this
city, on the steamer Keithsburg, man
named Nick Bryson, who went to the saloon
and boarding house of Mr.. Adam Schmitt, on
the levee, saying he had the ague and wished
to stop with him until he got better. Mr..
Schmitt gave him room, and he remained
there until this "Wednesday lmorning. when
he died of yellow fever. He was young
man, probably about Is or 80 years of age !;
had a sister in st. Paul, and parents in Min
neapolis. 1t is believed that he was Ger
man or of German parents. 1t seems that
he had been, in the early part of the season,
at work on a steamboat on the upper Mis-
souri, River; went from there to New Or
leans; had the yellow fever there, but re-
covered. Sufficiently to warrant his leaving
for his home in Minnesota, but while on his
way he fell sick again, had relapse of the
fever and died as stated above.
During the three or four days he was at
Mr.. Schmitt's he called for no medical aid,
until o'clock this morning, when DR.. Gait
was sent for, and on arriving there found
him dying of yellow fever, black vomit,
bloody discharges run ming down through
the mattrass, and skin as yellow as ochre
He died about clock.
An examination of his effects showed
poor outfit of cheap clothes, and $l.45 in
money. n"2 4
Undertaken Knox was sent for and direct

with the mattrass and bed clothes, all in one

LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE.

HOUSE,. Feb. 29.-Mr. Soanlnn aroso TO
personal explanation; he hal disco vered
In tho Times Of this morning card pub
lshod over tho signature of j. V. Durable,
chairman Of the Board Of Levee Commits
sioners, which tho Secretary road for tho
information of tho members, and at the
request Of Mr.. Seaman. The card alleges
that he (Duralde) ia drawing double
salary "a chairman and member OF Tho
Board Of Levee issioners, 1t was ln-
sinuatod that it was done by authority.
Extracts from tho minutes Of tho Board
showing that that body had ordered him
paid for his services and any expenses that
he might incur was incorporated In tho
card. lie denied drawing double pay;
denied that crowds Of laborers were
brought to the bar Of tho House to force
tho pnssage Of tho bill making appropria-
ton for tho relief; it did not apply to him
or any other member OF the Board.
The Secretary having concluded reading
the card, Mr.. scanlan resumed. He wns
the lnst man to do nm injustice to even tho
hum blest Of Gods creatures. From tho
reports no had read regarding expenditures
by tho Board Of Levee Commissioners, no
believed ho was justified IN saying what
ho did.
Tho assertion charging tho chairman Of
that committee with receiving double pay,
IL sustained by tho report from which Mr..
Seaman read. Ono member drew 1884
for mileage. Mr.. Durable, for mileage
and pay for ono month, had received $570;
there was no authority in law for such
proceedings. Tho resolutions from that
Board were adduced in his behalf; rosolu
tons similar in object had been adopted
by tho ammo body In justification Of the
action Of tho Comptroller and Treasurer,
NIL in violation Of law. He desired to seo
tho law by which the chairman Of that
committee was allowed $4,000.
Tho appropriation'for the expenses was
fixed positively by law at 100000, and
they had no authority to exceed that
amount. The gentleman appeals to the
public, and says no has been falsely nc-
cused, but Mr. Seaman contendsd no had
done or snid nothing excepting what he
WAS warranted in by the law and public
documents.
Tho remarks Of Mr.. Scanlan were inter
rnpted by tho announcement OF m eHsago
from the Governor, which was read, nc.
companiod by ielographic dispatch COM
municating resolutions from the citizens
of Harris county, Texas, relrtivs to the
New Orleans and Texas Railroad Company,
which was read and appropriately rcferred.
