We did not hear of but two or three new
cases yesterday in the city proper, and but
few on the outskirts. The territory over
which the fever has spread is SO large that
it is very difficult to get returns from all
quarters the same day, and frequently we
do not hear of cases until days afterward.
The most of the sick in the city are doing
well, and large majority in the suburbs.

so well as to be above want, and are entirely
out of the clutches of the merchants of New
Orleans.
In 1872 they shipped the first sugar of the
season, but it was week later than the
present shipment. The cane used in making
this sugar was small, but the yield was sat

and sugar. although the crops OF both will
be a good deal larger than last year. The
writer estimates the cotton crop of this
year 20 be about 4,000,0 00 bales. He says
that from the reports received by him and
some of the large cotton merchants OF Lou
isiana, from planters throughout the South.
there is no general prevalence OF the boil or
cotton worm. and that its ravages have
been local. One case is mentioned in which
planter who lad planted for loco bales
would lose all but about 300 bales in conse.
auence OF the damage done his plants BY
the worms. while on the plantation imme-
diately adjoining the one just mentioned, no
worms had made their appearance. The
lower parts Of plants have, in many cases,
been bathed with a wash made of Paris
green and water, which ia said to effectually
prevent worms from attacking the plants.

How STRANGERS ARE Nor ROBBED OF
IMPOSSIBLE SUMs.-Metropoltan detectives
are as liable to err as other specimens OF
,rail humanity, and if they accepted the
vivid story OF young Nlobillan," as to
how he was robbed, perhaps they were not
altogether wrong. considering how many
queer tales are doled out TO them. A city
journal Yesterday morning stopped over
with the story OF a young Mobliian," who
very frankly stated that he recently arrived
in New Orleans with $500 IN currency, all
.,f which he earned as a soldier in the United
States army, at the rate of sl3 per month.
An analysis of his statements makes him
look as if he had recently read Munchau-
sens ancient history. He SAYS that he re-
.ceived $500 bounty money. That will be
news to his Uncle Samuel, If be served
full term OF enlistment, i've years, this
young Mobilian would have earned $50;
this, added 10 the impossible $500, would
make $l2So-leaving nary dime for the
sutler or for contingent expenses. Now,
what frugal fellow that young Mobilian
was to save up $500 out of $3.50, and how
kind of him to come to Louisiana to buy
lands, etc He said his name is William
Ashbury, and on landing at tine head of
Canal street he felt thirsty, after dusty
railroad ride. Very unlike a soldier, he iu-
quired Of stranger tue place 70 obtain a

merchandise hanging on wire stretched IN

resem bles canvassed ham tempted John
sons fingers and appetite, so he reached tor
it. At the first pull the meat would not
come down, SO Moses gave another and
more vigorous tug. The meat was loosened,
but at The same time a bell inside the store
began to ring violently, as if it had some
connection with the outside wire, which is
.he case. Mr.. Eagan was employed inside,
but hearing the warning bell understood
what it meant. He instantly started out to
interview the thief, and was SO quick as to
yearly catch the fellow. Moses ran, carry
ing his plumber. but on seeing that he was
skely to be caught threw the jowl at Eagan,
nearly knocking him down. Moses then
gathered up an empty barrel and threw 1t
spitefully at the young man. just then
