The latrst advices from Shreveport
states that it seems to be certain that the
backbone Of the epidemic Yellow Fever
is broken but that only ice will finally
arrest its dread ravages. On Friday
morning of last week Rev Father Seas
ont died of the fever. He was the sec
retary Of the Bishop of NatchitachOs and
his death is of interest from the fact that
he Is the fifth priest of that diocese who
has been stricken down by the scourge
having left Natehitachos few days ago
to assist the sufferers at Shreveport.
The Masons of Memphis are In finan-
cial distress on account of the heavy ex-
penses they have incurred during the ep
idemic. They have buried twenty OF
their number in the last two weeks and
have now on hand fifty-two cases. Their
iexpenses are over one hundred dollars q
day. They have received remittances
from a few other cities, but not euffli-
cient to their necessities. Lodges and
Masons can remit to A. j Wheeler, sec
retary of the Masonic Relief Board, who
will use all funds received for the dis.
tressed belonging TO the Craft. .d~}
