RELIEF FOR LOUISIANA SUFFERERs.-The
New York Herald, of the 9th, abiding to
the last appeal of our Mayor for the benefit
remarks:
Such an appeal to the generosity and
philanthropy OF the metropolis should not
fall on Indifferent ears, but should call forth
prompt action and immediate relief Mayor
Havemeyer promises to take action in the
matter when further particulars come by
mail hardly course to recommend itself
by promptness. Meanwhile, however, he
will receive subscriptions. A meeting of
prominent citizens Of Brooklyn will be held
tonight in Mayor Hunters office to adopt
measures for the speedy aid Of the poor
houseless families on the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi. For such a deserving charity there
should not be a moment lost or unneces-
sary delay made to ward off the horrors of
actual starvation now pending over those
poor people.
GIFFERs.-The headquarters for the pur-
chase Of fine saddlery, and for all things per
tanning to findings for horses and carriages
is unquestonably at Giffers's No. Is St.
Charles street. At this model store can be
found anything from a racking- bit to la
dies saddle; and anything purchased there
may be relied upon as being precisely what
it is represented. Hence it is that all pro-
fessional horsemen, and all gentlemen own
ing fine horses and vehicles patronze Gift
frrs. In his collection we noticed hunting,
racing, military and side-saddles, all Of the
finest make, and all at reasonable price,
Ills English riding saddles are made by the
famous Jassman, of Grosvenor Square, Lon
Ion, and cannot be surpassed.
On THE LAKE. - Yachting has already
commenced on Lake Ponchartrain. About
o'clock every afternoon its ripping sur
ice is dotted with the white wings Of these
deet little sa!lers, and an appreciative crowd
the wharf watch their movements with
yident pleasure. We have near our city
rarcely anything more enjoyable after
inner at Mguefs than an hours sail on the
Ike, and sight Of one of those sunsets not
Iualed even in the Bay Of Naples. The low
iores, softened in outline 10y sepia-tinted
axe, the twinkle OF the light in the tower.

The number OF persons who die under the |
ADMINISTRATION of chlorOform is an indca- |
on that medical science falls very far

cent case of the kind in Baltimore, sew
al physicians of high repute stated that |
cath did not result from the chloroform |
nat had been given as . preparation to
lrgical operation, but from physical causes
ne to a malady which was deeply seated
i the patients system. Their opinion
.ould have been more satisfactory if they
puld have said that the influence of the
rug did not hasten the mans death
If he had not taken chloroform under the
lstructions of a physician, he might have
we'd longer; he die take it, and died while
oder its influence. In Cincinnati the other

aturated with chloroform was applied to
lis nostrils. A surgeon who was asked for
