NEW ORLEANS, Sept. IA special dispatch

however, that there is any abatement, but that

Henry Hartman and Herman Holder" The
Shreveport Times this morning says: The cpl
demic exhibits but little change, and that the
decrease in the number of new cases is greatly,
owing to the want of material. The number OF
deaths is terrible TO contemplate. The mOrtali-
~ Is beyond precedent. and il looks as though
comparatively few will get well. Thus far few
have got about, while some linger between life
and death. In some instances whole families
have been swept out of existence in the short
space of one week. The sudden change in the
weather last week sent scores TO their beds
which accounts for lar ge NUM- Der of interments in
the last day or two. In the language of one New
Orleans physician, they dropped OF like shSp D
dying with rot. Medical treatment of the most
skillful kind does not appear to do any good
in great many cases, whereas in many others
temporary relief afforded is quickly followed by
death. Our stores are all closed, aud our dwell
ling houses turned into hospitals.

Brick or Frame RufIdIugs.

NAsHINGToN, ID. O., Sept. 18th, 1873.
Editor Star. The West End Directory, COM
menting on my communication which appeared
in your issue OF September ?, wants TO know il
"Abbe' is a brick maker. I answer that he is
not, is not a mechanic OF any kind, and is in no
way interested in the manufacture of bricks,
and has no stock OF interest whatever in any
brick enterprise. IL also says the poorer class
of persons would have 20 seek "greener fields
and pastures new" because brick buildings
cost three times as much as frame houses.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in Baltimore, as I said in my
other communication, no persons are allowed
10 build wooden structures, and I have since
learned Il IL so in Philadelphia also. Now, IL
the inhabitants OF the above mentioned cities
are prohibited from building frame buildings, IL
ought also 20 be prohibited here. There are
certainly twice as many poor IeOple in either OF
the abOye-m mentioned cities As are in the whole
District Of Columbia; yet they thrive and get
along as well, If not better, than our poor peo-
pie, nevertheless they pay larger rent, and they
receive no better wages, nor are the necessaries
Of life any cheaper than in our district.
