Aid for Savannah.

The result of the meeting at Lincoln hall
and the plan of 81 subscriptions for the relief
OF yellow fever sufferers have not been as sue
cessful as they should have been. This failure
has led to the publication of letter by Rev.
J. n. Cuthbert, one Of the committee of three
pastors in whose hands the collection of sub
scriptions was placed. He says 4: "The sub
scriptions have not yet reached an amount
such as the citizens of Washington would send
for such an object. Mr.. w. W. Corcoran, Sir
Edward Thornton and others have responded
nobly; but we are anxious that our people gen.
orally should aid in this matter. Now if any
thing is done it must be done st once. The
writer of this speaks from full experience, as
during his pastorate in Charleston, South
Carolina, he was laid low by this fever. 1t
ragged at the same time-in 1854-in Savannah.
But the present visitation is a more dreadful
one, shifting down all classes and races with
out exception. In this high latitude we forget
that The frost, which is the natural means of
checking the scourge, is month later at the
South. Before decided frost, the very COOL
ness of the weather seems to develop the dis
ease into pore malignant type.
"While the fever was at its height in 1854 in
Charleston the equinoctial storm swept over
the city, and for three days and three nights,
like Paul on the Medterranean,we saw neither
sun nor stars. But 1t made no difference with
the fever. After the flood and tempest, which
we thought would have swept it away, it was
as dreadful as ever. And for full month now
we may expect to read the fearful death-roll
of these afflicted communities. 1t is not only
Savannah, but the entire seaboard which is
now visited by the pestilence. Think not only
of the terrible death-rate, but of all the at
tending, inevitable suffering and poverty and
universal depression, and for the love of the
merciful Christ and our groaning humanity

contributions are now left with Mr.. John T.
Mitchell, 931 Pennsylvania avenue.
"If all the churches would take up collec-
tions at once, and the various benevolent Or
ganizations aid in the work with their wonted
liberality, something worthy of the city and of
material help to these afflicted ones will be
done.''
1t is to be hoped that the pastors will make
a note of this suggestion and act upon it.

Last evening being the anniversary birthday
of Miss Flora Forrest, little daughter Of Mr..
Samuel Forrest, residing at No. I'll Eighth
street northwest, there was assembled party

pleasure to behold. The elegant parlors OF
Mr.. Forests residence were brilliantly illu-
minated, and the entire effect produced by
elaborate decorations and scores of smiling
faces made the scene one of great mirth aud
beauty. Miss Flora, the young lady in whose
honor the party was given, is little miss of
only three years. She was most tastefully at
tired in a rich blue silk and Swiss overiress,
handsomely decorated with jewelry. The
party was an exceedingly large one, and the
tables were literally packed with choice sweet
meats, so dearly loved by the little ones. The
little Miss Flora received many congratula-
tions and expressions Of hope. Among those
present were Misses Hattie Knapp, Neva
