Republican of this ward TO the false and bogus
semblage which meets at the corner of Claiborne

YELLOW FEVER IN BUENos AYREs.
Appeal for Aid for the Sufferers of the
Pincue.sfricken District.


Piague.sfricken District.
The following appeal has been received
at New York from the plague-sticken dis
trict of Buenos*Ayres:
The rayages of the yellow fever in the
CITY of Buenos Ayres, South America, du-
ring the months of February, March, April
and May 1871, are unparalleled in the his
tory of epidemics of modern times. Be-
tween seventy-fve thousand and one hun
dred thousand persons have been attacked
by the disease, including those of every
nationality, age and situation in life. The
total number of deaths during the months
named is variously estimated at from fifteen
thousand to twenty five thousand out of a
population of one hundred and eighty
thousand.
AS the plague increased in violence the
people became panic stricken and fled from
the city in great numbers. Thousands of
the poor were sent out by the government
at the public expense, being obliged to live
in tents, railway cars, ETC., for lack of bet
ter accommodations. Business was totally
suspended; the banks, customhouse and
public offices were closed by order of the
government. The laboring classes who
were thus deprived of the means of gaining
livelihood, and at the same time sub
jected to extraordinary expenses by the
SICKNESS, were soon reduced I'd absolute
want.
The American church and community
have had to bear their full share of these
evils. Nearly all who remained in the city
were attacked by the fever. Over thirty
five, most of whom were adults, have died,
leaving many poor, chiefly widows and
orphans, dependent ON us as a church for
support. Those of our number who are
able have already contributed literally to
the relief of the destitute. Another sub
scription for this purpose is being raised,
but in view Of the financial embarrassment
now existing in Buenos Ayres the Official
board of the church determined to ask
assistance from friends in the United States.
Relying upon generous response to this
appeal, some have advanced funds to meet
the most urgent present demands for help,
and will continue to do so, that our poor
may not want the commonest necessaries of
life during the winter which has just begun.
Contributions may be sent to A. Ostran-
der. No. 80 Park row, New York city, or to
Rev. B. G. Jackson, pastor of the Ameri-
can church, BuenOs Ayres, South America.

The Opelousas Jo,nnal gives fhis rood

The opelousas journal gives this good
advice:
The experience of six years since the war
has shown our planters and farmers the IN
certainty of all calculations in regard to
crops and their net value. The seasons are
not always favorable, labor is insufficient to
meet the demand, supplies are always high,
and the prices of cotton and sugar auctu-
ating, and often too low to pay the losses
and expenses of production With all
these uncertainties, there is but one safe
rule: farmers should raise their own sup
plies of food for man and beast. Then, if
the cotton crop is failure, they will not
have to buy corn and meat ON credit,
which will take the profits of the next crop.
Until they do this they will remain poor and
dependent.

A WASHINGTON dispatch SAWS:

A report has been published, charging
John w. Douglass, late Collector of the
Nineteenth District of Pennsylvania and
now Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
with being a defaulter to the amount of
$4,000, that sum being charged ON the books
of the Treasury Department as a balance
due from him. On inquiry, to-day, it is as
certained that when collector of the Nine
teenth District of Pennsylvania, his deputy
covered $4,000 from his deputy's sureties,
and paid this into the Treasury, together
with other thousands which he realized
by sale and mortgage of his own private
property. A credit has been given him for
$1,000 additional, thus reducing the balance
due to the government to $3.50. A claim
for relief is now pending before Congress.

A New DEPARTURE.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Houston Union:

j. NJ. Kaumheimer, ex-city recorder, in
duced a newcomer here, Mr.. Cramer, who
had some capital, to go into business with
him, and the two went to New Orleans to-
gether last week to purchase stock of
goods with Cramer's money. On their ar
rival there, Mr.. Cramer went out of town
short distance to visit some friends, and
left Mr.. Kaulnheimer with the funds at the
hotel. On Mr.. Cramer's return, he found to
his utter dismay that Kaumheimer had
vamoosed, and had not forgotten to take all
the money with him. Mr.. Cramer was left
penniless, and had to beg his passage home
to this place, without hearing anything of
his friend Kaumheimer.

tricks that were neither vain nor dark, the

DEATH OF DEPUTY COLLECTOR MILLER
One day last week we indirectly learned
that Mr.. William Miller. deputy collector
of internal revenue, had met with violent
death, and have since ascertained that such
was the case. The manner of his death is
not positively known, but circumstances
indicate that he was drowned. Last week
he went over to Coyington on the steam
boat Camela, taking his horse and buggy.
He passed Thursday evening with some
friends in Covington, and just before dark
started in his buggy to visit his married
daughter, who lives in the country about
eleven miles from the town, where he was
expected. During Friday, the buggy and
dead horse were found in Tchefuncta river.
Mr.. Miller's dead body was discovered
short distance off. There were no marks of
violence, and his valuables had not been
disturbed. 1t is supposed the horse ran
away and jumped into the river in the
darkness. The coroner's verdict was sac
cidentally drowned"

A CURIosITY.-Dr. Kelley, of Algiers,
recently took a trip over the new railroad
to Donaldsonville, and while on the cars
found little machine of peculiar construc-
ton. An outside tin case inclosed leather
box, carefully sealed, inside of which was
roll parchment, half-inch wide and about
six inches long. The parchment, on one
side, was covered with Hebrew writing.
The strip was closely rolled and tied with
white horse hair. The package inside the
tin covering was sewed up tightly. 1t is
quite impossible to describe the casing, but
the only thing it distinctly resembles in
form is an old fashioned leather hat box.
The mechanism is not by American arti-
sans. The doctor continually asks the
question, 'What is it ?"
