The Relief Fund-A suggestion.

To the Editor of the N. O. Bulletin:
regret to hear that it is proposed among
some Of the members Of the Crescent City
Relief Association to dispose of the fund
which has been confded to their trust in q
manner not provided for at all in the an
nouncement Of the entertainment from which
was realized the handsome sum placed in
their charge, and am satisfied was not con-
templated by those who so generously and
literally contributed the money. The propo-
sition is to dole out this fund monthly, week
ly, or otherwise, to the benefciaries, by q
committee to be appointed, who would make
the WIDOWS, mothers and bereaved ones of our
noble dead, the piteous recipients, by driblets,
OF fund which was given only to the fami-
lies Of those who fell in defense of the PEG.
pies rights.
Given that the object of those who propose
thus to dole out the money is most praisewor-
thy in intention, it strikes me that the least
reflection will convince them that it is a mis-
conception of their duties. BY what authori-
ty do they assume to themselves to dict te
how and on what terms these families of cur
martyrs shall use the money which was given
and belongs to them alone? These families
belong to the best classes of our people, and
the insinuation that they do not know how to
take care of what belongs to them is serious
reflection to their intelligence and feelings
suggest that the Relief Association have but
one sacred duty to perform To make as soon
as possible a wise and equitable distribution of
that trust fund among those to whom it be-
longs. H.

TIE ARMY IN NEW ORLEANs.-The propo-
sition OF the Kellogg leaders that Gen. Emory
should parade his troops in the city of New
Orleans to give moral support to the black is
an outrage upon decency and order, unusual
even in that reckless party. Thus to give
moral support to the blacks wouldbe to intimi-
date by bayonets the whites. The army, of
course, is sent to the South to Inspire fear by
its presence, but such use of it would be too
fragrant an act of military interference with
politics. York Herald, 23d inst

No Ear for Music.

much Of an ear for music, but he
spend a considerable sum in hay
ing his daughter taught how TO
hammer piano, aud is proud Of
her accomplishments. He was talk
ing with US over the fence recent
ly, when a series Of dreadful sounds
come from his piano, through the
open window. Presently ChuLb
remarked:
"D'you hear that, Adeler! Just
listen TO that, viii you! That's

Then there were o few additional
bangs on the instrument, flourish
or two, and then more discorlaut
humping.
Splendid, isn't it Z" said Chubb.
"Alary James Dustin the music

We remarked that from the en-
ergy displayed, Mary Jane seemed
at least really in earnest. But
whether she was treating Mr.
Strauss exactly right, was an open
( question.

| We asserted that il she played
those compositions as she was doing
now, it would make anybody cry
A deaf mute would shed tears.
"Listen to that now, will you 2
exclaimed Chubb, as a wild tumul
Of sounds came from the piano.
; "lsn't it splendid If ] didn'
