Del
Dear Sir,-Yours of the 9th instant is receiv-
ed and noted. In relation to the Credit Mo-
bilier stock transactions to which you refer,
find by reference to memoranda made Deem
Der 26, 1867, that l received james Brooks
check for $1,000 and draft for $4,000 due . NJ
airy 22d, 1868, and that I transferred, py as r
Brooks direction, to his son-in-law, Cnaafh r,ar.
Nelson 100 shares of Credit Mobillef o, panifc
lea and 900 shares of stock of the Unlon aclnc
Railroad Company, and f ,ysee;,r m, rnu,Tspg
Dolas " JUG dS;.;on to the 100 Credit Mobilier
atnoir Coz ono in Union Pacific Railroad securi
tios ca the $40 900 paid also find memoir
andum that the draft referred to above was
anid Nv Mr Brooks. January 90 1868, thus con-
frn,;ng my recollection as to the fact that the
transaction was with Mr. james Brooks.
,e.H Yours truly,
The following is the reply of Mr.. T. B.
Kingsland, the cashier and managing man Of
the business in New York of the Hon James
BROOKS to the above letter, which was publish
ed here this afternoon. The discrepancy in the
amount of the checks alleged to be given arisel
from the fact that the first statement published
| mentioned check for 200 instead of $1,000
| as now set forth. The check of $1,000 and the
draft of $4,000, if such exist, it is stated, wer'
| some of the loans of Durant set forth in TIN
| Kingsand letter below
| NEW YORK, Jan. 8.
Dear Sir,-Mr. James Brooks loaned larg
| sums Of money to Mr. T. g. Durant, at differ
emit times, and also the Union Pacific Railroad
AS his cashier and business manager, mus
have made all the settlements and drawn a
the checks, and settled all accounts with MI
Crane, Mr.. Durants manager, both for tn
loans and the Union Pacific Railroad. MI
Brooks's check book shows no check for $1,000
for Mr.. Brooks with MI. Crane, paid for any 1(
or 80 shares of the Credit Mobilier for M
Charles H. Nelson. am certain that M
Brooks could not have made any such large Of
erations in money without his check book
bank account showing it. They make no sue
showing Very respectfully,
(Signed) THOMAS b. KINGsLAND.

that measure was annulled while Mr.. Sweat

IT is evident that the cider question will re-
ceive more consideration during the present
session of the Legislature than has usually
been accorded it. Already an order has been
introduced from very respectable source
looking to the repeal of the legislation o. last
year. 1t is a vexatious question; but it seems
as though there is possible solution of the
difficulty by fixing percentage of alcohol
that shall constitute any beverage intoxicating
in the eye of the law, whatever be its name,
cider, wine, beer or water.

THE New ORLEANS HOMESTEAD ASSOCIATION.
At q meeting Of the Stockholders of this Asso-
citation, held last Wednesday evening at tn cir
Office in the MORNING STAR building, their Fl rst
loan was offered and taken at n very moderate
rate of interest. It speaks we'll for the insti-
tuition in being able to make q loan during tho
unparalleled stringency of money, and shows
that it is properly and ably managed. There
Is scarcely q workiugman in the community
-laborer or mechanic--who could not secure
himself q home of his own by availing himself
of tho advantage offered by this Association.
The payment of 81 25 per week will entitle
one to loan of nearly $1,000, Sc so per week
to nearly s., 900, and 30 on, the weekly pay
ments going to the liquidation of the sum Dor
rowed. We would advise those who are in
need of q homo Of their own to get a copy of

they may understand it's workings thorough /;
and then to become members of the Associa.

ToMBoLA FOR THE CAMP STREET ASYLUM
The drawing of the tombola for the benefit of
the Camp street Female Orphan Asylum took
winning numbers have not yet applied for their
prizes. At tho request of the Sisters we again
give the winning numbers and the prizes ::
No. 100 won the oil painting of Plus TX; No.
499 won the china tea-set; No. 1898 won the
carriage; No. 1870 won the watch No. 4792
won the silver set.
The above announcement was made in our
issue of August 18th Since that time no one
has called for the prizes, but, as the Sisters
believe, many of those who had purchased
tickets were absent from thu city then, and
hence did not know the result of the drawing,
they request its republication, in the hope that
the holders of the winning numbers will call
for their prizes.

The Pail Mall Gazette says that it will give
some notion of the vastness of the spoil of
war that has fallen into German hands, IRE
spective of the pecuniary indemnity, when it
is stated that the share of gun-metal from
captured cannon allotted to Bavaria alone, as
the due of her two army corps, amounts to no
less than AGO tons. OF this, King Louis has
ordered fifty tons to be distributed to certain
parishes to be turned into the church bells
they are in need of. Tho rest is handed over
to the Bavarian Government arms foundry for
future conversion into German guns.

Our New Departure.

Our new departure
At the recent meeting Of Stockholders Of
this paper It 'was resolved that two i'm.
portant changes should be made in ita
management In respect to terms and de-
livery, 20 far'as regards its city circulation,
and TO take effect from and after January
6rst, prox. . -
First. Its terms will be cash on delivery
asths e1ise, at the rate Of three cents per
copy to dealers and I've cents to individual
readers. Dealers and newsboys will sell
angle copies at Ave cents instead Of ton, a.
heretofore sold. 81 =, ,s.,o
Secondly. There will be, after our last
issue Of this month, NO delivery Of the Pc
per ut residences by carriers. The system
Of having subscribers and receiving sub.
scriptions will cease from that date, 80 far
as the city is concerned. The only excep-
ton to this will be temporary one in
favor of those persons whose subscrip tions
may have been paid in advance up to a
date beyond the. lst. January, prox. To
such patrons tho paper viii continue TO be
sent by carriers until the completion Of the
term for which they have paid. All unpaid
subscriptions will be discontinued at the
date above mentioned and no new ones re-
ceived thereafter.
Our readers will perceive that this ar
rsngement will reduce the price of the
MORNING STAR to one-half itspresent rates
for those who now purchase it casually and
TO bat little more than one-half for those
who arc now regular subscribers. For
them, instead of the cost being four dol
lars per year, it will be but two dollars and
sixty cents. We confidently anticipate
that the great increase of circulation to
ensue from this lowering Of rates, will
more than csmpensate for the diminished
scale of profit naturally resulting from it.
The object in view in conducting this
paper 10 not 80 mucn- Ito makeaG pecu.
MARY speculation as to extend the sphere
Of its usefulness, and we think this appar
emit in the step just announced. It is q
bold policy which can foresee ultimate
profit in the lowering of rates. 1t is true
that enterprise is the child of wisdom, but
those who are too eager for profit often
fail to see it's claims to such royal honors.
With an exalted hope of usefulness in
view, our stockholders, however, willingly
take the risk Of losing somewhat by the
change now announced. We hope that
this community will respond to their gen.
erous confidence with liberal increase of
patronage.

COLLECTION FOR THE SEMINARY.

Tho Christmas collection in all the churches
of the Diocese being for the Diocesan Semi
mary, pastors are invited to remind their
practitioners of the fact o few Sundays in
advance. They will make their practitioners
understand that it is for them duty of Justice
and at the Same time greatly to their interest,
TO contribute to n work which Is tho most
important of all, for on it depends the mainte-
nance and development OF religion among MS.
They will plainly show the reasons which
Should influence all Catholics to help in this
work. No matter what the hardness OF the
times, if each person who assists at Mass that
day will give even the smallest piece of money,
the Offering cannot Inconvenience the donor
and the Diocese will be greatly assisted with
out anyone having to suffer.

An action against dentist for pulling
the wrong teeth came before Keene, N.
H., court the other day. The plaintiff,
Mrs. Alice Lowell, being unavoidably alb
sent by reason of having died, her interests
were represented by her husband, who as
serted that his lamented spouse gave the
dentist, 1. w. Russell, directions to pull
certain teeth, and not to modest certain
other teeth, but he made q clean sweep of
one jaw, and was rapidly harvesting the
crop of theI other when Mrs. Lowell re-
covered from the ansesthetic and shut her
mouth. The suit was for $5, 900 damages
but the jury considering that it might have
been mere Misunderstanding on the dem
lists part, and that the plaintiff was dead,
thought $50 about right.

EXHIBITION AT 81. PETKR's SCHOOL, THIRD
DIsTR1cr.-On the 26th and 9th insts., Friday
and Saturday next, ct o'clock, the boys
attending the Parochial School will give
an exhibition in the school house (the old
church) on Marigny street, 25 cents being the
admission fee. We trust that crowded hall
on each occasion will give practical evidence
of the great interest our people take in the
welfare of the boys and of the high sppreoia-
ton in which the efforts of the Rev. clergy of
of the parish and the teachers in the cause of
education are held.
