sYsrEMArIc CHARITY.

A prominent citizen Of the State, whose
liveliest sympathies have been enlisted
in behalf of our sufferers, proposes an
admirable plan to secure fund that will
be permanent until our present afflic-
tions are entirely removed. We will
comment upon it hereafter. The plan
is to obtain large number Of signers to
the approved form of subscription:
The subscribers hereunto do bind
themselves to pay to the Treasurer Of
the Howard Association, of the city Of
Memphis, i've dollars each, per week, to
be RENTED by each OF them without
further demand, every Sabbath day, to
the address of said Treasurer, for the
purpose Of creating certain and re-
liable charity fund for the poor, during
the pestilence now prevailing. They do
further bad themselves, and promise
that this contribution shall be continued
through the period Of tie present vista
tion of yellow fever and for two weeks
after it has been officially stated By the
Board OF Health that the disease has
disappeared from the city.

Three Hsroiaes.

The Register of this morning, after
copying the LEDoERs notice Of Miss
Matte Stephenson, the English girl from
Illinois. and Miss Lulu Wilkinson, Of
Memphis, adds the following
The evening after the death Of the
woman, as related above, the writer
wanted q nurse for the Howards. They
had none. Ii was an urgent case. About
nine or ten o'clock at night he went to the
Lehner house and was told one nurse was
there who had set up the night before.
He called for her, and Miss Stevenson
presented herself. Acting for the How.
ards the writer told her there was an old
man and woman at 43l Main street, sick.
They had that morning taken into their
charge the four orphan children Of DIR.

Two OF the children were sick. Gould

son was at once assigned TO duty at Mr.
Sullivan's, on Concord street, where
there were five patients, one Of whom
was in dying condition. At that place
she bad the assistance Of one Of the
best ladies in the world, nursing for the
firemsn, whose name we do not know.
After the death of Sullivan, leaving four
cases in the house, Miss Stevenson and
her companion closed up the house.
This severe labor prostrated Miss Ste
venson. Her brave and faithful com
panion is still there doing untiring duty
in the service of the Firemens Relief
If these three women aud all of their
sex who are caring so tenderly and
kindly for our suffering sick are not enti.
tied to the full measure of praise given
by our evening contemporary, then there
is in this world no proper appreciation
of true heroism.

A Word 70 CITY rax.P.xer..

The following notice has been sent 10
many city tax payers, and it is earnestly
to be desired that they will respond
promptly. The city is out of money and
unable to pay off fremen, policemen,
and other employees. We hope that de-
linquents will not take further Of the
leniency extended to them for sometime
past of sympathy:
The city being indebted to its en-
ployes for their wages for two months,
and there being no funds in the city
treasury wherewith to pay thOm, ear
restly request all parties indebted to the
city, who are able, to come forward and
pay up, thus enabling the city to pay its
employees, many of whose families are
sick and suffering, and the city not being
able to pay them, are compelled to ask
relief and assistance from the Relief and
Howard Associations.

"A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune gives an interesting account
of the life of Isaac V. Fowler, once
Postmaster of New York, in the Dis
trct of Topic in Mexico. When he
left New York he went to Mexico.
and supplied with recommendations
from business men he was made Sup
erintendent of large cotton factory
in Topic, which he so improved and
made subservient to the prosperity of
the country that Lozada, the Indian
dictator and Independent ruler of that
district, contracted a friendship for
him which was uninterrupted while
the American was in Mexico. Mr..
Fowler used the influence which he
had so legitimately acquired wisely
and well. He acted frequently as
mediator between Lozada and his sub
jects, and prevented by his friendly
intercessions, supported by his strong
democratic sympathies, many acts Of
aggression. But the most important
result of this confidence in him was
the turn it gave to the establishment
of Macmillan as Emperor of Mexico
Lozada had promised to come to his
aid with $4,000 warriors when Baza-
inc lett Mexico and had he done so
the Government of Juarez would have
been overpowered, but the American
saw the wider influence of this move
ment and persuaded the Indian dicta-
tor to reconsider his promise. What
followed the world knows, but it is
not known that the establishment of
an empire upon American soil was
prevented by the silent and unosten-
tations influence of one man who had
remained true to the democratic prin-
ciples in which he was nurtured.

PENsIoNs.-It will he seen by the
following estimate made by the Com
missioner Of Pensions to be contained
in the annual report to Congress by
the Secretary of the Interior, that it
costs large sum Of money to ''run'
the Pension department of the Gov
eminent one year. 1t appears that
the amount of money to be paid out
to pensioners, during the next fiscal
year, will be between $50, 100000 and
$31, 100000, about the same as for
the current fiscal year. The business
of re-adjusting pensions has probably
been greater this year than at any
time since the war closed, which is
owing to the increasing disability of
pensloner, whose pensions at each
stage of disability are readjnsted ana
increased according to the neccssilios
of the cases, as they may be proved
to the satisfaction of the Pension Blu
reau.
