New ORLEANS, June 6, 1874.
| Hon. Louis A. Wilt Mayor:
Dear Sir-How much has Chicago con
tributed to suffering Louisiana in this, he
home of affection and misery:
New Orleans contributed 900 tt
Chicago when fire rendered thousands OF
her people homeless.
And this large sum was donated by q
people greatly impoverished by the devas
tating effects of war
How much wiU Chicago contribute (pos-
sessed as she now is of wealth and prospect
ty) to the starving white and black people
OF Louisiana, ruined and rendered homeless
by flood of water, whose consequences are
infinitely worse than the results of the
great fire? Yours truly,
l. N. MARKS,
Chairman Chicago Relief Committee in
New Orleans.
In response to the foregoing inquiry, Mr.
Mayor Wilt answers that the money con-
tributions from Chicago amount to 5000 so
The Mayor says: ~ am not aware that
Chicago, as corporation, has adopted any
measure Of relief. What she as city, or
what her citizens may yet do, is a matter
still open for hope and conjecture"
OUT OF His MIND.-Citizen F. c. Stei-
mel, residing corner of Marigny and
st. Charles streets, reports that about !
o'clock last evening he found man named
E. H. Barkdull in SICK condition. He took
him to his residence, and there discovered
the fact that Barkdull was out of his mind
From papers found on his person, it appears
that he is from Newton, Iowa, having been
formerly resident of this city. He is a
man about forty five years of age, born in
the United States has a top silk hat black
suit and CATERS. He also had about him
gold watch and chain; also a lot of receipts
THE ST.. CHARLES HoTEL.-The travelling
community and the many friends and pat
rons of the old st. Charles, will be gratified
to learn that it is the intention of the popu-
lar and en:erprislng proprietors, Messrs.
Rivers & Lonsdale, to keep their hotel open
all summer. They are offering special rates
for the season, and have reduced their prices
to the most moderate figures.
In the Office we notice Messrs. Mumford
and Leake, gentlemen well known in connec-
ton with the former management of the City
and st. James Hotels, under Col r. S. Morse
In their new association they will bring to
bear an extended experience and a large
We congratulate the man
agement upon their wise selection, and
hope that our young friends will fully
realize the wishes of their hosts of admirers
Scolding is habit very easily formed. 1t
is astonishing how soon one Who INDUCES
in at all becomes addicted to it and con-
tirmed in it. 1t is an unreasonable habit.
Persons who once get in the way of scold- |
ing always find something to scold about |
If there were nothing else they would fall
a scolding at the mere absence of anything
TO scold at. 1t is an extremely disagreeablc
habit The constant rumbling of distant
thunder, cater wauling, or a hand-organ I'M
Ter ene's window, would be less unpleasant
The habit is contagious. ODce introduced |
into family, it is pretty certain, in short
lime, to affect all the members. If one of |
hem begins finding fault about something
'r nothing, the others are apt very soon to
AXE it up, and very unnecessary bedlam
s created.
