marching r~elentlessly on. I say
scourge in a qualified sense, not
wishing to use the term In regard to
: the number sick and dying, so much
as l wish to express by il an idea of
the anxiety, dismay and almost ter.
ror that the mere prevalence e Of an
43A epidemic. always creates. The real
truth is, as yet the epidemic is in a
very mild form, the number OF. sick
being greatly in excess, proportion
ately, to the number dying. The ia
81 tai cases are mostly in Charity Hos.

Tunacelimated who are inadequately.
supplied with the necessities of life.

The New Orleans School of Medi
cine and University of Louisiana
commence their annual course of
ne medical instruction early in Noyem-
en- Der, each college giving a preliminary
course, beginning the 10th of October.
$50 Without attempting a comparison of
eiS the schools, / will merely state that
New Orleans is a long way ahead of
q other Southern cities in facilities for
medical Instruction. The fact that
338 students were in attendance last
s-~-Winter, fully corroborates the state
ment. "A dental college win also +
commence its first course this Fall.
Notwithstanding the gloomy sur
rounding, Sunday presents its usual
gala day appearance, to say nothing
derogatory to the morality of the city,
for they have as many churches and
s. as many people attending them as
nKa any city, yet there are certainly more
people here who seek amusements in
other ways, than any other place in
b AH the country. Theatres, concert .sa-
looms balloon ascensions, races, rat j,
