THE ORPHANS.

IN opportunity VIII DC aHOTueu 10
night for the people Of New Orleans to
exercise, ut q very small cost the hottest
of human virtues charity The St.
Mary's Asylum, in the Third District is
the home Of large number Of orphan
boys who, because of the poverty Of the
institution, are in sore distress. Those
most holy women, the Sisters of Charity,
who have charge OF this Asylum, have
done all that lay in their power for the
unfortunate children the accidents Of
fortune have thrown upon their charge.
But with all their energy and economy
they have not been able to sustain the
little ones in comfort, nor even to pro
vide them with the necessaries Of life.
Last winter, we are credibly informed.
the orphans were clothed in garments
made OF the samples OF wooden goods
sent to them by u humane clothing
merchant. The butcher and baker have
been even charitable in their leniency
to the asylum, which owes them thou
sands OF dollars for meat and bread
furnished these little charges of an en-
them from actual suffering And
now the measles has broken out
among them and great suffering is en-
dured because OF the want OF the COM
monest comforts OF life. Miss Octave
Rooney, and number Of other la
dies Of the city, compassionating the
little miserables Of the asylum, will to-
night give concert at Grunewald Hall
for their benefit. The cause in which
these ladies have enlisted is in every
sense holy one. Their object is to fur
nish common comforts for the wretched
little orphans whom God in his mystic
rious providence has thrown upon our
hands to care for. These little children
have neither fathers. nor mothers, nor
earthly kindred, to provide for them
They are miserable, poor, badly clothed
sick, suffering, and some Of them dying.
Gentle loving Christian mother, look
down into the eyes Of the little son at
your knee, SO bright, 50 happy and be-
loved, and remember that however rich
you are to-day, yet, in the vicissitudes

may be left without other protection in
the world than the friendly walls Of an
asylum provided by the holy
sisters, and sustained by contribute ons
from your fellow beings Think
Of this fact, and your heart will surely
go out to the little sick and hungry
waits Of st. Mary's Asylum, who are
even now yearningly awaiting the
sweet charity which is to be gathered
for them tonight, and which is to bring
something Of comfort and happiness to
their little weary hearts.
The deplorable condition sof these
children has touched our own feelings,
and we could write much more in their
behalf, But enough has been said to
disclose their condition and their needs,
and we have not the least doubt that
Grunewald Hall tonight will be filled
to OVERLOOKING. and that the music and
the singing will be unusually sweet to
all the listeners, for it's sadness will
interpret the orphans sorrow, and its
gladness the orphans grateful joy for
the timely charity bestowed.

It appears that bondholders are quite
willing that the city should extend the
lease for two years, thereby saving the
lessees from loss and securing par for
their bonds, but right here the people,
who have to pay the difference and the
commercial interests Of the city already
overburdened with port charges, de-
mand to know why commerce should
be 80 taxed to satisfy the bonds which
were issued upon the basis Of the de-
most reckless extravaganza in our past
administrations.
We have no desire to cloud the obliga-
tons Of tho city or to evade the payment
OF any proper debt, but we have already
shown that less than four hundred
thousand dollars cash should keep the
wharves in order for u period Of five
years, and when we see that the cxpen-

Or twice the amount it should cost to
build all the wharves anew. We think
it Is time for the Council to pause and
consider only the interests Of the whole
people. If the lessees surrender the
present lease. it seems to US quite clear
that it is plainly the duty and the right
Of the Council to resume control Of the
wharves, apply the first collections to
their repair and for necessary expenses
connected with the wharves; applying
the surplus to the redemption Of bonds
at their cash value in the market.

The devotion OF the people Of New
Orleans to the memory of this good and
eminent gentleman, was evidenced by
the throng that crowded DR.. Palmer's
church at 10 o'clock this morning. Men
Of business and lawyers. ladies, young
and old, filled every seat in that i'm
mense church.
Perhaps the most touching indication
Of the benevolence and goodness OF the
departed was the number OF plainly
dressed poor women and colored people
who stood with fearful eyes and sadden-
cd faces mourning their great loss. A
most tender and solemn hymn was
sung, with the subdued accompani
ment of the grand organ, in which its
deepest notes seemed sobbing in sympa-
thy with the vast assembly, and after
short discourse by DR.. Palmer the vast
throng passed In front Of the altar to
gaze for the last time on the face OF tho
dead. 1t was intimated by DR.. Palmer
that he should, at future time. deliver
q more elaborate funeral sermon. The
remains of Mr.. Maybin were then es-
corted by large concourse to the Glrod
street cemetery.

PURELY PHHANTuROPIC.

In recent issue of the S. +. Chroni-
Gle, that pure and incorruptible journal,
gave as reason for its attack on Ne

solely by desire TO protect the funds of
innocent women and children, and took
the high moral stand of asserting that no
matter how painful such proceeding was,
II, as an honest journal, was compelled
to publish the truth. Otherwise the i'm.
macu!ats DeYoungs would be guilty of
perpetuating a great wrong. The follow
ing, from the Virginia Enterprise, covers
the ground, and answers the Pharisees
SO admirably We give it place. Says the
Enterprise: If it would be of interest
to the owners of the Chronicle to know
what the men of Nevada think of them,
We will try to furnish the information.

the Chronicle it was the refusal of some

lieve what the owners may say about

they had failed in blackmailing men

country is good, having an abundance

to the King Peter Place Mining Com
