THOUGHTFUL GENEROSITY.

OF all kindness and charity that which has
for its object the sustenance or amusement of
the little orphans thrown upon the cold char
ity of the world is perhaps the most admira-
BILE and worry of praise. Unlike most other
children their pleasure in life is confined to
the few simple indoor sports and plays which
the kind managers of the asylums provide for
them. What pleasure more congenial to the
nature of childhood than days romp in the
woods, among the green trees and on the
banks Of laughing brooks, away from all ap-
pearauce Of restraint, their little hearts laugh
out for very glee, and in the simplicity OF
their natures they deem themselves the very
happiest of mortals
Approaching this fact, Captain John J.
Brown, of the elegant steamer VIM. S. Pike,
proposes making an excursion for the pleas
ure and recreation of the various orphan
asylums in this city, on Thursday, July 8,
1875. leaving the head of Canal street at
pollock A. NJ, spending the day at some one
of the beautiful plantation grounds, fifteen or
twenty miles above the city, and returning
before evening.
Basket Picnic" is proposed, as being
that which will afford the most satisfaction
and enjoyment each asylum is therefore
respectfully requested to bring such pro-
visions as they may require. Capt. Brown
will furnish iced lemonade, ice water, fruits,
sweetmeats, etc., besides music and other
requisites. The number Of children is not at
all restricted, and we understand that invita-
tions have been addressed to fourteen asylums,
embracing over 1900 orphans, exclusive Of
the friends who are expected to accompany
them. This will be most happy and in
teresting occasion, and the kindness OF Capt
Brown is deserving of the highest praise.
We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt OF
an invitation to be present, and shall avail!
ourselves of it if at all possible.

One of that numerous crowd of loafers
whose chief aim in life seems to be to insult
ladies by impudently staring at and ogling
them, was considerably surprised and very
much shocked last evening, when plucky
little woman, who he was gazing at in very
insulting manner, used, her parasol and
spoiled his countenance. We glory in the
"spunk" of the lady, and if all her sisters
would defend themselves in like manner, the
crowd of loafers would be diminished in .
remarkably short time.

BENTON OTWAY.

In another paragraph is recorded the death
of one of the noblest, and most generous, and
warm-hearted young men that ever left the
Crescent City to seek his fortunes amid new
scenes and among q strange people. Ben.
Otway was q true type of that peculiar chival-
rio class Of young men for which New Orleans
is noted. Generous almost to fault, his
heart was in his hand when it gave the grasp
of friendship, and many there are now in our
city who will readily call to remembrance the
many times that Ben. Otways friendship
went out in the freedom of generosity to
answer for the pains and troubles of another.
Whether in business or in the social circle
his highest aspirations was to deserve the ap-
prevail of those to whom he deemed his allegl-
ance DUE He was for long time in the en-
ploy Of the Sun Mutual Insurance Company,
and by his thorough business-like, and Wlthal
gentlemanly manner of transacting the mat
tsrs entrusted to his charge, he soon gained
number of warm admirers. He was for long
time a prominent and respected member OF
the Shakespeare Club, among whose members
there are still many left to whom the news OF
Ben Otways death will cause pang OF deep
sorrow, bringing back, as it does, fresh to
their minds many hours and scenes Of genuine
pleasure, when the circle would have missed
charm had he not been there.
The sorrowful hearts Of his many friends
are laden with feelings of sympathy for the
young widow, who was so beloved and loving
wife to their friend, and extend to her that
consolation which, though in itself of little
avail, still betokens companionship of grief
Let her be assured that honest friendship viii
grieve at his death, and chivalry's friends
will weep Ger his bier.

A CUTTING ARRAY IN ST
JAMES PARISH.
The Collector of the Henry Tete
Stabbed i'm Three Places.

On Tuesday, the 18th inst, difficulty occurred
between Mr.. J. e. Brou, collector Of the steamer
Henry Tete, and Mr.. H. R. Theberge, planter
in the parish of st. James, in which Mr.. Brou
was cut and severely wounded in three places.
The difficulty occurred when the Tete was on
her down trip.
It appears that Mr.. Brou, the collector OF the
boat, presented freight bill to lMr. Theberge,
which the latter disputed, when dispute en-
sued, during which one word brought on another
and 90 on to blows. During the affray MIR. The
berge drew his knife, stabbing Mr.. Brou in three
places, all of which were considered by the
attending physi ian as serious, and one in the
center Of the breast, between the nipples, which
may prove fatal.
Mr.. Brou is now in st. James, having been con-
veyed to the residence of an acquaintance after
the difficulty, as twas impossible for him to
travel.

EN- AVANT.

The Golden Drawing announced to come otf
next Christmas by the Louisiana State Lottery
is, we are happy to learn, already riding upon
the high tide of success. Wherever adver-
tised abroad it seems to have struck the key
note of popular favor, and the tickets are
already commanding large sale throughout
the country. Much Of the success is undoubt-
edly due to the confidence universally enter
tanned in the stability of the company and its
Conscientious management. People are satis-
fed that their prizes will be all paid as pro-
posed; that the drawing will positively take
place upon the day announced; that it
will be conducted with rigid exactness
and impartialty; and finally, that it
is the best scheme ever offered, in
the proportion of prizes to receipts. In
every community there is and always has
been large number of people who believe in
their own luck, and who persist in trying it..
This propensity is partly due to the influence
Of example, and partly to the development of
the speculative nature to high degree, and
it is Just as proper that such persons should
be protected from the schemes of sharpers as
that the merchants warehouse should be pro.
tectsd from burglars. This the Louisiana
State Lottery purposes doing 1t is regu-
lariy chartered institution, already in sue.
eessful operation for over seven years,
and during that entire period not q
breath has ever been breathed against
its integrity. Wherever known it has com
manded the most perfect and ab7olute conf
dence both in its promises and performances
The scheme of the Golden Drawing, pub
lished at length in another column, will be
found fair and open. Everybody contem
plating the purchase of ticket can there
calculate to certainty both his chances and
the profit to be made by the lottery. There
is no concealment, no deception whatever
and none will deny, after examination, that il
is by far the best and most liberal scheme eve1
promoted. With such Recommendations II
its favor, its great success is not to be won
dered at.

An Advocate Pumped Ont.

HOW AN EMINENT COUNSELLOR WAS POISONED AND
MIRAoULousLY sAvED.
Pedestrians along Walnut street yesterday af-
ternoon were somewhat startled by seeing the
figure of man flying westward with the speed
of the wind, his coat tails, in opposition to the
laws of gravity standing erect, his head inno-
cent of covering, his locks toying with the breeze
hs eyeballs wildly glarng and seventeen small
boys, three of whom were colored, following aud
hooting after him. The threshold of DR.. Paines
residence reached, the door-bell was frantically
pulled and the breathess fugitive entered. The
physician was astonshed to find that his wild
looking visitor was one of our leading COUNSEL
ors, nc other than John O'Byrne, Esq, and he waB
horror-struck when he received the dread intel
ligence that his legal friend WAS poisoned. The
counselor's lithesome form was laid prone upon
the floor and in the midst of his eiaculations for
providential release the nozzle of an immense
stomach pump was forced down his throat and
in few moments his intestinal arrangements
were undergoing such a wrenohing and pulling
and tearing as never human being experienced
before. Into a huge tub placed upon the tloor
the different articles that the pump was search
ing for were soon visible. There were the REM
nants of an adermanic feed, taken but few
hours previous while the room WAS filled with
an immense volume of gas that almost suffoca-
ted the physician. Exhausted, perspiring,
neryeess the eminent counseur arose from the
floor, and thanked his stars that he iyet lived
He then explained the cause of his mishap.
Having an affection OF the throat, he was in the
habit of taking medicine for it. He was also
obliged to appya lotion for a rheumatic affec-
ton. By mistake yesterday he swallowed the
lotion, which contained a poison, and hence the
disturbance. Mr.. O'Byrne, Though somewhat
reduced in size. is now once again happy and
smiling. Philadelphia Times, 1871.
