A HomeOpathsc PIea


Editor Star:-Knowing that there are many
In TINS city who, like myself, have found the
homeopathic school of medicine best suited to
their constitutions, write in the hope of en-
listing their sympathies for the yellow fever
patients in the south who desire to be treated
by physicians of that school The Homeo-
paihic Relief Association of New Orleans, 132
canal Street-whose president is MIR. Albert
VOORHEES,, one OF the most respected Lawyers of
that clty-has issued an appeal to the chart
table, setting forth that no patients prefering
Homeopathic treatment, which has been most
successful through the epidemic, receive re-
lief from funds sent other associations. AS it
seems only just that q who are seeking to re-
Heve suffering should be aided by the funds
sent to the peStilence-Stricken cities. would it
not be well for all who contribute who do not
desire their charity TO be used by one school
of medicine alone. TO request that their dona-
tons be used impartially. or for those who
have a preference for homeopathy to send di-
reeily to the Homeopathic Relief Association,
OF which the gentleman above named is presi-
dent? AS one who feels that rapid recovery
from recent severe Illness is due TO the wis
dom OF homeopathic physicians, l feel con-
strained to make this appeal.

OF Memphis have all the money, supplies, etc,

OF DIR. Thornton has, think, been in great
measure neglected, and would suggest that
you direct any supplies at your command to
that place. The fever is rapidly spreading to
all the towns in my district and they are in
great distress. Any money you can send me
for their assistance / should be very glad to
have. They are appealing to me daily We
see no real abatement of the fever, and fear
that the worst has not even yet been reached.

LET CHILDREN BE TAUGHT TO SWIM
Among the few survivors from the terrible

Old Kent road, IL years of age; his sister,
Miss Thorpe, Who is a year older than himself,
and his brother, d mere boy of 9. All these
owe their lives to the fact that they were able
to swim.
The boys, it VIC uld seem, were somehow sep

IN AN ARTICLE On Music, in the October
atlantic, Richard Grant White advances the
positive Judgment and statement that musical
skill, culture ard taste do not in any way in
volve the exercise OF the intellectual or the
the intellect aud the conscience. There is
nothing new in this statement. Over and over
again has it been urged that music simply ex-
erciSeS and ministers to SenSuOusneSs and
does not depend upon OR strengthen the
powers OF the mind or the functions of con-
science; thus leaving wisdom and virtue to
other helps and guides.

CALHOUN was Virginia infidel. He wrote

selling his book and making speeches. Re
Gently he fell among the encamped negro
MetLOdists of Grab Bottom. They set about
converting him. They surrounded him,
got him On his knees, and finally brought him
10 repentance. He burned his books, and has
taken the agency for Christian publication.
