A poor widow named Fox died suddenly
in O'Neals alley Saturday. She had just
gone there 20 live, with her four children,
three girls and boy. On Sunday an ex-
press wagon called at the house the corpse
of the poor woman was put into it and
hauled away to q psupers' graveyard to be
buried. 1t was q most pitiful sight. in
deed, to see three little girls and lit
tie boy following after that rude hearse
containing the corpse of the mother.
Their eyes nearly blinded with tears,
their heart broken signs coming from
their quivering lips, their cries to the driver
to "Stop! bring back my mOtherw and the
driver rushing his horse to get away from
the poor little motherless orphans, and
they running along after it with fearful
eyes and outstretched hands, was scene
that would have made angels weep. Final
ly the wagon turned the corner of Fourth
and Main streets; the little ones broke
down, and they returned scattered band
of wanderers, weeping and wailing over
the loss of their poor mother, whom they
should never see again. Many stout
hearted man turned away from the scene
and wiped great tears from his eyes as the
cries OF the poor little orphans running
after the wagon rang in his ears.-Loais-

The ROWING REGATTA YEsTERDAY.-Had
not been for the number OF people who
listed Milneburg yesterday nobody could
ossibly have kno wn that . regatta wa
ontsmplated, as there were no signs of even
he shadow of manager or management
ong after the appointed hour two OF
hree single single SOUL working boats
lided up to the string, but there was no en-
husiasm whstever. notwithstanding the
bot that every available point was crowded
nth visitors. The air was excessively
karm, but the people could not possibly
become excited over q something that
hight, perhaps. take place. There were
bw sail boats and dozen skiffs in line to
Fitness the expected contest, but the ex'
ursionists did not take the least interest in
be proceedings.
1t may be casually mentioned that one of
he three races did really take place, by
hance or otherwise, and that was the first
he on the list, otherwise that important
bet would not now be announced. The
outhern entered boat Katie Ross, by J. D.
tardin; Pickwick, the Petrol, by L. Favares;
|rleans, the Regina, by c. N. Edwards;
oward, the r. E. Diamond, by William
afferty; Hope, the Amy, by James Red.
ond; St. John, the Siren, by George L.
lssier.
Well, the SOULS started, to make one mile,
nd some OF them made it and some of them
kdn't. However, after gallant efforts the
!. Johns boat reached the string first, fol-
bwed by the Hope and the Orleans, while
be others were somewhere.
When brass gun belched for the second
ice, four cared gigs, two miles, the South
rms came to the scratch, but before all were
repaired a equall from the northeast
ounced down and over the lake almost
Ike whirlwind, which caused further
clay The eastern sky continued to look
threatening, and soon there was heavy
we'll in the water-altogether too strong to
ermit of any racing. Suddenly there was
rush of all kinds of craft for places OF
Acurity, and gradually it dawned on the
bople that the regatta was tallure-a
Siserable failure. Then there was tear
BE- the cars by thousands of persons who
kcitedly thought that home was the best
ace. OF course the regatta managers
build not prevent the storm.
Hereafter, if New Orleans can not sue.
)ed better in giving the public little
Auatic sport, with more ability, then let
be prime movers stand aside and allow
lore competent hands to undertake the
ksk.
In consequence of the storm the regatta
las postponed until future day-the fur
her off the better.
