By A WARNIxG.-On Wednesday
last, Bornia Snyder, Annie Hunter aud
Sadie Underdonk, young girls Of this
place, were down at the river near the
bridge, and Sadie and Annie got into
a boat which was tied to the shore,
whilst Bernia took hold of the rope and
commenced TO pull it backward aud for
wards, and giving it sudden jerk, pre-
cipitated Sadie Underdonk head-forc-
most into the river. Mr. Jacob Crow,
the gate-keeper, being near and seeing
her fall, rushed to the river and succeed
ed in getting Ter out. This should
be warning to those young ladies, as
well as to others, never to play as they
did, foolishly about deep water.

Regular Secretion Essential 10
Health.


The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices, and of the bile which the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters pro-
notes, are effects which conduce materi-
ally to the restoration of health, when the
system is disordered. Food is not digest
ed in the dyspeptic stomach because the
gastric fluid is deficient, superabundant
or vitiated the liver becomes congested
and the bowls constipated because the
supply OF bile is inadequate or misdirect-
ed. The Bitters rectifies all this, and re-
moves every i'll consequence of non-as-
Sanitation and bilious irregularity. Fur
thermore, it stimulates the action of the
kidneys, by which impurities are, so 10
speak, strained from the blood, and any
tendency in the urinary organs 10 grow
sluggish and disordered counteraeted.
Whetherit be used as a means of regulat-
ing the overloaded bowls, or to promote
complete, and therefore healthful, urine
ton, Hostetter's Bitters may be relied
unon with confidence TO accomplish the
end in view.

gG9~ SPLENDID SHOE ESTABLISHMENT
We desire to say to any of our clti-
zens who may visit Baltimore, that they
should avail of the opportunity to call
at the splendid shoe emporium Of j.
Pels & Sons, No. 80, North Eutaw St.
This establishment is the largest proba-
bly, in the city, and is real curiosity in
its way. Every variety Of goods known
to the shoe trade can be found within
its walls. The Messrs. Pels do their
own work, having recently largely en-
gagged in manufacturing, and having
supplied themselves with the most APP
proved machinery they are not excelled
by any in the business. They also en-
ploy large force of workmen TO make
custom work of the finest grades and
most approved patterns. Indeed their
make of ladies shoes are models Of beau-
ty and durability, and are bought by
the most critical people in the city. The
firm has made name for itself in Bal
timore which takes the front rank, and
it deserves it. Our merchants should
also give the Messrs. Pels a call, for IT
will be surely to their advantage to do
so. There they can find goods Of every
class, with elegant samples always in
view. Bear in mind No SO, North
Eutaw Street, is the place.

Ra MEMORIAL DAY.-On Saturday
last, the annual floral decoration of the
graves of the Confederate dead took
place in the Confederate Cemetery ad
joining this town. The day though
quite warm was clear and pleasant for the
occasion. There was gathered together
an immense concourse of people, TO pay
tribute 10 the almost unknown, but
never forgotten, dead. Flowers were
profusely scattered over the graves of
those who fought in faith for their
rights and their native land. None es
capped or were overlooked by those who
came to pay tribute to their memory.
Among the beautiful floral tributes, was
that of a handsomely decorated cross,
presented by Mrs, Jos. NJ. Stonebraker;
it was placed beside the beautiful Mon
ument, which stand in the centre of the
Cemetery.
The whole affair was under the eff
cient management of Col. w. a. Nor
gan, who, after prayer by the Rev. J.
L. Shipley, of the NJ. E. Church South,
and music by Criswells Cornet Band,
and the Lutheran Choir, introduced the
Hon. A. II. Boteler, who, in his happy
way, delivered an eloquent, able and
appropriate address. Although Col.
Boteler had only been asked to supply
the place of Major Ii. X. Douglas, who
was to have been the orator Of the day,
about half hour before the time for
the commencement of the ceremonies,
we are sure that all who heard it can
but speak of the address in the highest
terms.
After the Grafton, collection was
taken up for the benefit OF the Memorial
Association of this place; after the col
lection, the ceremonies were concluded
by dirge from the band and an ode
from the choir, with prayer and beme-
diction by Rev. Nj. Holland, Of the Lu-
theran Church.
1t is to be hoped that the interest in
memorial day will never be decreased,
but that those in the future will Tar e1
coed the past i'll interest and attraction.

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-05-02

Yesterday morning We suggested that
Gov. Nichols should review the militia,
as an appropriate recognition Of their
services, on the day on which the re-
demption Of Louisiana Is to be officially
celebrated by Thanksgiving and prayer.
We were not q little pleased and flat
tered upon receiving, early in the fore
noon. the visit Of some ladies, who in
dorsed our suggestion, adding that they
had set their minds upon seeing once
more in line and under arms the brave
men who for nearly four years have
maintained the dignity OF the people
and contributed In no small way towards
tho liberation OF our beloved State and
the installation of its rightful Governor.
We agree with the ladies. We always
agree with the ladies' and we know full
well that if the fair ones desire it the
militia will turn out en- masse to please
them, for their motto Is that which the
ehivaIrous Murat had engraved on bis
knightly sword, "pHonneur ct les
Danes"

Sacred Memories.

It Is now over two years since the
heroic citizensoldiers Of New Orleans
shed their blood to accomplish the first
victory that has led to the final redemp-
ton Of Louisiana. On that memorable
day many families were deprived of
support by the murderous ball OF the
Metropolitan, now happily being OF
the past Some Of these families are
still feeling the lack of the strong arm
to support and the provident hand
to help OF those who fell on
that glorious day, and the chill
dren Of our brethren who died to
save us are clamoring for bread. The
ladies' Of the Crescent City Relief Asso-
citation, ever thoughtful and charitable,
have come to the rescue; they have or
ganized for tomorrow (Thursday) even

tainment for the benefit OF the bereaved
and destitute ones. The Orleans

their services to make the affair sue

ORGANIZATION OF THE POLICE.
Responsibility OF our City Administrators
in the Premises.

Yesterday morning we published the
official list Of officers and patrolmen APP
pointed upon the new police force. We
are sorry to say that great many Of
the appointees do not give full satisfac-
tion to the public. One of our reporters
interviewed Chief Boylan on the sub
ject, and 1t will be seen by reference to
the interview, which is published else
where in these columns. that the
Chief Is not entirely satisfied.
In fact, he seems to think
that, considering the small force placed
at his disposal, he could scarcely have
covered his responsibility in the patrol
ing OF the city unless he had had more
direct voice in the choice Of the men.
AS far as we could understand, he is
NOT exuberant over the appointment
of his property clerk, he having recon-
mended another man for the place.
We have not had time to study up the
history of all the men mentioned in the
list, but some of them strike US as being
essentially Objectionable on account OF
tbeir antecedents. We refrain at pres
ant from publishing the names. but W.
have them noted down and will not hes
tate. when the time comes, to expose

THE SHERIFF'S FEES.
Judge whitaker Makes the Mandamus
Peremptory.

Sheriff Houston filed in the Superior
Criminal Court Monday morning
his petition for writ Of mandamus.
The petition sets forth that the city Is
indebted to him in the sum of eli, 524 10,
being Il balance dtte hiifH fer his fees and
expenses as Sheriff of the Superior
Criminal Court and keeper OF the Parish
Prison, for the months OF January,
February and March, 1877. which bills
were duly certified by the Court.
It further sets forth that this amount
| is made up of items and accounts re-
ieoted by the Administrators of the city,
and payment has been refused.
He, therefore, asks for writ Of man
damus against j. Ct. Brown, Admins
TRAITOR OF Accounts, and j. @. Denis,
Administrators of Finance, commanding
them to comply with the demand OF the
petitioner.
Through d. T. Jonas, Esq. the city
answers, denying that the court has any
jurisdiction in the matter or authority
to issue O mandamus. and that by act
No, s of 1870, all courts are prohibited
from Issuing any writ of mandamus or
other writ against the city Of New Or
leans or any officer of said city, the OBJ
! iect of which shall be to.oompel the said
city to pay any judgment. etc.
| The answer further saws that the re-
lator has q good and sufficient remedy

tiiicate Of tie clerk or judge is full
proof of the correctness of the bill and
| they deny that the bills are correct.
Further, that the city has made APP
preparations for the balance alleged by
relator to be due, but cannot pay the
same until an ordinance has been
passed.
The case was called up at II o'clock
ON Tuesday and submitted on the plead
ings. Judge Whitaker stated that he
had already considered the case fully,

again. He would make the writ per-
emptory, and order the bills paid.

Sword Presentation.

Last evening there was gathering Of
brave boys at Hawkins Club-Rooms
the occasion being one OF much interest
to the gallant members OF Company G.,
First Regiment Louisiana Militia, and
decidedly more to the genial comman-
der OF that company. After all the
"wars and rumors OF wars were over,
the members Of Company G thought 1t
o suitable occasion to tender to their
commander, as an expression Of their
appreciation of his gallantry, suitable
testimonial.
Accordingly, at half-past O'Clock
Capt. Douglas M. Fitzpatrick appeared
i'd see his men drawn up in line, and
Lieut.. Renshaw advancing, in q few well
chosen and appropriate words, pre-
sented to his commander handsome
sword, the gift Of the company. Capt.
Fitzpatrick, taken entirely by surprise,
was at a loss for some time what to say
but after he had sufficiently recover REQ
himself he made graceful and feeling
speech in acknowledgment OF the ap'
propriate gift.
The sword is Of the finest workman
ship and is Of the latest pattern. The
guard is heavily plated in gold, and
with it are two scabbards, one In silver
for parade, the other in bronzed stee
for service.
After the presentation there was 6
flow OF champagne, and Gen. Behar
and Col. Vaudry, who were present, re-
sponded to toasts offered them. The
occasion was one Of soldierly reunion
and will long be remembered by all the
members of Company G.
