Our friend Louis Frierson, the young
| hero of the epidemic of 1873, has been placed
in charge of the Howard storerooms, and has
entered upon his duties with characteristic
| ability. He took Us through the establish
ment last evening, showing the illlmitable
variety of contributions sent to us from all
sources We found -four In abundance, po-
tatoes and other perishable stuff in vast
quantities, which Is being worked OFT Tor
money, which will be used for paying off
the nurses. There are thousands of little
nicknacks, of no possible use to the sick, but
