THE VAIL OF THE POOR.
New ORLEANS. Oct. 25.-The relief work
in this city which aforetime possessed such
magnificent proportions now manifests a
decided inclination to vanish from the
scene. With the exception of the Young
Mems Christian Association and the Hebrew
Benevolent Association, all of the benevo-
lent societies of this city appear 10 be on
their last legs. The Peabody Subsis ence
Association is out of -four and many staple
goods, and there is an expectation that the
rooms will have to be closed even before the
appointed time. The Howards acknowl-
edge they will have to close in week or so
at the farthest.
The Orleans Central Relief Committee
and the fifty societies which have contrib,
uted to form the same, are on the verge OF
finishing their labors Unless further sup
plies are bought the Commissary will have
to wind up its affairs Friday. Altogether
The outlook for The distressed and needy is
far from cheerful, and the question, What
shall we do?' is heard resounding on all
sides. The people will have to go TO work,
it is said, but where, when and how? There
is Ii tie work on hand and there are a great
number who, from accidental causes, could
not take advantage of profiered employ
ment were here plenty of it.
There are widows and orphans whose
natural suppOr ers have been taken away
by the epidemic; there are men and women
broken down by disease and ruined By the
quarantine; and there are hundreds of help
less people who barely scraped together a
living in the most prosperous times. What
is to become of all these? No wonder, when
they are told at the Subsistence Rooms that
no more ratiOns can be issued, they are all
out, that they turn round with despair
ing look in ,her eyes and cry out, "What
shall we do?"
Reports at the Board of Health indicate
further decline, both in mortality and
those attacked, but it is feared the recent
cases are far more malignant than those
which occurred in midsummer, and many
recently pros'rated are very low.
