NJ shreveport, LIN.
The Ptcayune has the following -
We have been permitted to copy the
following private letter from Shrere-
port:
SHREVEPORT, September 7.--DEAR
JACK: We are now passing through
an awful scourge. The yellow fever
has come, and like some awful black
pail, thrown its folds about US, spread
ing fright, terror and death among MS.
The town is nearly depopnlated, by
stampede and sickness. There have
been. as near "a | can ascertain. M TO
date, about sixty deaths. and there are
great number sick. There is one
awful characteristic about the sick
ness: and that is that no one as yet has
recovered. Some are what they call
doing well, while others die in one
day. You hear of case ''dOing as
well as could be expected :" the next
thing q corpse is awaiting the hearse.
In point OF malignant fatality it sur
passes any yellow fever ever known
here. II appears that If the fell mon
ster ever gets its pestilential fangs
fastened on its victim it never lets 20
lite fatal grip until the poor victim is
stiff and stark dead. A few cases at
first dropped dead in the streets be-
tore reaching house. These cases,
however, have been rare. Mono of
our particular friends have yet died.
Ihs only ones in danger now arc the
Misses Jordan, both Of whom arc very
low. We have organized = Howard
association. and 1t is doing great deal
,of good. The following are all the
dead that | know of TO the present
time: Mr.. Heal, the carpenter, and
wife Cashell, the druggist; Mr.. Mum
| dy, of the firm Of Mundy Il Collins ;
jim Anderson, Hank Smith, two OF
Mr. Griswold's children, Mr.. Craig,
besides many strangers. The follow
ing are very. sick: Colonel Cummings,
DR.. Kendall, Burd Ogilvie, Judge
Lerney, two Misses Jordan, Mr.. Alex
ander, the lawyer: G. J. Alexander.
the tailor. and Billy Marshall.
OF the fever, Clay says ii is different
from amy yellow fever he ever read OF
| or saw, and continues: 81 will move
away. One of the attendant inconve-
niences Of the fever 10 a thorough en-
barge on the cars. They will let no
one go. The town is, in the way of
business, dead. 't-f

acknowledgements up to 4 this
afternoon there had been eighteen
deaths from yellow fever. It's on the
increase. Whole families are down
with it. Nurses are worn ont.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, September H.
A heavy rain fell this evening. Sever.
al parties who left Shreveport arrived
this evening, and they report the vol
low fever on the increase. Every
stage leaving that city for this Is
crowded with terror stricken people.
The son Of Mr.. Brooks, proprietor of
the Southern Hotel at Shreveport, no

st. Lonis. received telegram this eve-
ming announcing the death Of his faith

Mr.. S. NJ. Smith. of Illinois. in a
speech delivered at o farmers meeting,
said: ifes
81 want to say to you that no mans
life is q success when he started ON q
farm at twenty and at sixty he is una
BILE to show more than $1,000 or $lO,-
Coo that life is failure in the broad
est and strongest sense of the word"
lfthe highest aim of life is to make
money, then Mr.. Smith's statement
would be true; but he should know
that many of the greatest benefactors
OF their race many who have left
the largest legacies to the world, and
whose memories will be revered for
all time, lived and died poor in purse.
The possession Of money is not evil
dcnce Of succcssfnl life. II is only ev-
idencc that man has been successful
in business, or that lie has inherited q
fortune. A mans life may be sue
cess without money, Mr.. Smith and
the numerous Smith family to the con-
trNry notwithstanding.

Nothing had been more fixed than
