raised, with rigid regularity. These tithes
alone return the Church an income Of 81 ,200,-
900 q year. Most of this money is spent in
missionary work and in bringing converts
over to this country. Of course, with such
large missionary fund, there is no lack OF con-
verts. It is calculated that just 5000 Mormons
arrive in this country every year from
Europe At this rate, the Mormon popula-
ton in Utah and the surrounding country
will number not less than 1000 in 1890, su11l-l
eient to form two Or three States OF the Union
Whether these Mormous are allowed to Or
ganize States or not they will form such
powerful community in the very heart OF this
country that the Federal government will lind
it impossible then to interfere with them. Ii
Utah was q Southern State or had an electoral
VOTE it is probable that the Republicans
would see the necessity Of employing United
States marshals and arresting leading cltl-
zens, but as it fortunately is O. territory with
out vote or congressman, tho government
thinks it scarcely worth while to punish the
Mormon bigamies and murders.

In the PRONUNCIATION of the returns from
the parishes OF Orleans and Rapides yester-
day several important errors occurred. In
the fifth representative district of Orleans
Mr. L. Arnauld was credited with only IA
votes, whereas he received 1044 and wns
elected as declared by the Secretary OF State
For first justice of the peace Mr.. J. ?. Chill
dress received 1850 votes, instead of 1850 as
given him. For constables in the Pineville
ward of the parish of Rapdes W. S. Nally
and Sam Cripps were elected, instead OF Il
J. Reeves, as declared by the Secretary. The
error In regard to Mr.. Arnauld's vote was
typographical, the others were made in the
manuscript furnished from the Secretary's
office Considering the present great press Of
work upon Mr.. Arroyo, the Assistant Secre'
tary Of State, 1t is surprising that many more
errors do not creep into the returns as pro
muIgated. For the purpose OF correcting the
mistakes to which attention is directed above
the result in the two parishes mentioned ie
again officially reported in this mornings

OBITUARY.

Died on Thursday November IA 1878, at noon,
in st. James parish, LOUIS A. BRAUD. aged
q years. only son Of J. Amadao Braud.
But now thou art gone, dear Louis, whore
thou shalt be comforted: whore no pain or sor-
row is known forever-to our Fathers house In
Heaven above where no tears and sutferinRs
are known. 'Tis true it's hard to part TO rever
from one we cherish and love, but we must con-
sole ourselves. as we believe that it was tho Will
of our Almighty Father In Heaven, who does
all things for tho best. It was but few days
ago that we saw him the picture Of health
Who would have thought then that in so short
time he would have been numbered with tho
dead? But alas! it is SO; our friend has left us
forever. It is O. consolation to know howe YER,
that he was q true Christian. and died after re-
ceiving the last gacraments Of the Holy Catholic
Church. of which he was devout member from
his boyhood A dutiful and obedient son. q lov-
ing brother, bosom friend and q dear COM
panion was our Louis. and while our afllction
Is great In the loss we have sustained, we know
that he will reap his reward in the other world.

The attention of our country friends, anu
indeed of the people abroad generally, Is dl-
rected to the views expressed by some OF our
most eminent and honored physicians, printed
on the first page of this issue Of the DEMO
e,RAT, relative to thesafety of persons return
ing to or visiting New Orleans, and the per-
feet security of communities receiving woolen
and other goods from here. The fever dsap-
nAared from our midst several weeks ago. and
our city is now SO healthful that many OF our
well known physicians, overworked, have left
town either to attend the Richmond Conven-
lion or to recuperate in the country DTS
Chopin, Austin, Herrick, Brickell, Holiday
and many others whose names We do not
lust now recall are refugees from our health
ful atmosphere. OF those who remain
our reporters met but few yesterday
But the emphatic opinions expressed
nv these ought to satisfy everybody
abroad that full and free commercial inter
eourse may now be resumed with perfec
safety between New Orleans and the country

A number Of leading gentlemen OF this city
are endeavoring to collect a fund for the bene-
fit Of that small remnant of the Barnes family
which the yellow fever spared. OF the many
sorrowful stories, born Of the epidemic, none Is
sadder than that of this family. They came
here to settle among us with the brightest
homes for the future. There was no chance
for escape; the fever attacked them among
the very first long before the epidemic threat
ened to be serious. One by one they died !;
first the father died, and then five children
in the very bloom Of youth followed
in rapid succession. They came here
to stay, and they will stay in the
cemetery where their six graves are, side
by side Of happy family Of ten there are
| left now only the wife and three children,
without protector or support, dependent on
the charities of the world Our people have
not been lacking In charity during the late sad
epidemic. The fever is gone, but the time
for charity Is not gone with it. 10 this un-
happy family, the worst sufferers by the epl-
demic, something is due. It is impossible to
restore the lost loved ones to them, but suffer
ing and want can at least be prevented
It is to be hoped this appeal will be heark
ened to. A subscription list will be found a.

in our office Mr.. CIincker, of Chicago, the
Superintendent Of the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company. This gentleman visits
New Orleans on business of his company.
The Atlantic and Pacific has been Of inesti-

Instead of losing by the death OF Brigham

The leading Democratic paper OF Donald

1t seems that Denmark cannot receive his
prospective son-in-law without exciting tho

A Snake Charmer.
ment.

Some new features have just been add
rum at Westminster, which are likely
to pr,ye interesting to the general pub.
lie, end peculiarly so to naturalists. One
is an exhibition of the extraordinary
power which female Abyssinian snake
charmer possesses over reptiles of the
boa constructor class. We had an oppor-
tunity yesterday Of witnessing this per-
formance, which Is unquestionably Of @
most singular and astonishing character.
The snake chermer of Sualla differs in
some respects from that of the Indian
snake charmers who were brought to
Europe by DR.. Lynn. In the latter case
the venbmous cobra was shown to be'r :
pablo of control but in tho present in.
stance the serpents belong to the non.
venomous class, which kill their prey by
compression.
Snalla has brought with her three
small afacondas and q boa constrictor
and Mr. Farini, to whose enterprise we
owe this remarkable exhibition, has add:
ed a splendid python from the southwest
coast of Africa. Snalla Is apparently
sbout twenty-eight or thirty years ol
age, Of light brown color, with some.
what pleasing features, and 1.-THE and
graceful form.
Her cover over the serpenls seems to
4 be coniplete. The anacondas (which
must not be confounded with the gigan.
tic South American water snake, though
they are of the same genus) allow hel
to treat them with the utmost familiarity

Parllament met to-day. AS the Queen
did not open the session In person, there
was no State ceremonial, and the pro-
ceedings were confined 70 what usually
takes place whom the opening is by Royal
commission. The weather was very fine,
being clear and exceptionally mild. The
Queen'o epsech states that sLssummoned

acquainted with the efforts che has made
to terminate the var, s1d that she might
have its advice and assistance. She al-
ludes to her having declared her inten-
ton at the outbreak of the war to OBJ
serve neutrality in q contest which she
lamentej, but failed to prevent. So far,
the interests of her Empire, as defined
by her government, were notthreatened.
The Russian successes convinced the
Porte that it should endeavor to bring
hostiiifiee to close: The Sultan's gov

II N determined to make separate ap-
peal to her government, and she &C once
agreed to inquire of the Czar whether he
would entertain. peace overtures. The
Gar in reply expressed his earnest desire
fol. peace, and stated his opinion as to
the course which should be pursued to
attain it.. Upon this subject communi-
cations have, taken place between the
governments of Russia and Turkey
through her good offices, aud she ear
nestly trusts they may lead to termina-
ton of the war. She will spare no
efforts to promote that result Hitherto
in the war neither of the belligerents
has infringed the conditions on which
her neutrality is founded, and che will
i!,gly believes that both are desirous to
respect them as far as lies In their power.
So long as her conditions are not, in:
fringed, her attitude will continue the
same, but she cannot conceal from her
self that should hos.ilities be unfortu-
nately prolonged, some unexpected oc-
currence may render it incumbent on

Such measures could not be effectually
taken without adequate preparation. and
she trusts to her Pariiament's iberality
to supply the means which may be re-
quired, for that purpose. The papers on
these affairs will be forthwith laid before
Parliament. asl -If. e'
The Queen says that her relations with
all foreign powers continue friendly.
Her Majesty expresses her thanks that
the Indian famine is nearly ended. She
refers to tho condition of affairs in South
