We were pleased to grasp the hand again Of
our warm hearted friend and enterprising
citizen J. II. Keller, who has just returned to
the city after a delightful sojourn Of three
months at Biloxi.
Among those of our business men who have
returned within the last few days, none have
settled down to business with more energy
than our friend, M. L. Navra, proprietor of
the celebrated "China Palace" on Canal
street.
We are glad to see again at his accustomed
place OF business on TchoupitOulas street our
esteemed and energetic friend Mr.. Wesley
Lawrence, a member of the we'll known firm

spend some time with his brother, Col. Jones,

In q letter to @ New Orleans friend Lieut..
Gov. Witt uses the following language,
which will no doubt be read with interest:
"The extent and destructiveness of the fe-
yer in our poor State are greater than | had
expected The duration of the destitution
and distress caused by it cannot be foretold.
We are at a loss for fit terms in which to ex-
press thanks, in the name of our sufferers, for
the quick and hearty answer that New York
gave to our call for help. For assistance so
prompt, spontaneous and muniticent we can
now return only a small instalment OF the
grateful acknowledgements which our at
ncted people will never cease to express for
the magnanimity of that great city. Their
gift will be historic, and claim, at the proper
time, its place in the History of Peace. That
prosperity and happy fortune may attend
the generous men of New York, and all who
are dear to them, is now and will forever be
the wish uppermost in the hearts OF the af-
ticted strangers whom they have helped to

A NEW EHeU Il.
suit Filed Against the Board OF Health
for Damages.

for Damages.
The following petition WAS filed yesterday
in the Sixth District Court
William NJ. Beers, q resident of Portland,
Me, has entered suit in the Sixth District
Court for the parish of Orleans against the
Board of Health OF the State OF Louisiana and
others, averrng-
l. That on and before the twenty-second
March, t87S he was the owner Of the Aneri-
can schooner Clara l.. Dyer, engaged in navi-
passengers for hire; that during the month of
March, 1873, being at the port OF Port Antone
Island OF Jamaica. he bought for his own
account 1850 stalks OF bananas and 100 cocoa
nuts and with these loaded his said schooner
for the port OF New Orleans. that on the sec
ond April, 1878, he arrived at point on the
M Mississippi river about 70 miles below the
city Of New Orleans, called the Quarantine
Station, where his vessel was stopped by an
officer OF the Quarantine Station, and himself
detained and deprived Of his liberty, and he
was then and there informed by SAID officer
that it was necessary to fum1gate his said
vessel and cargo. Your petitioner shows
that he objected to the fumgation and pro-
sci on their voyage to New Orleans and he
| refused to permit the fumigation to be made.
| The said officer OF the quarantine replied that
| he had received orders from the Board OF
Health in New Orleans to detain him and to
fumigate the vessel, and he was obliged to
obey the orders.
| II. Your petitioner shows that he and the
said officer telegraphed to the board, inform
ed them that fumgation would destroy his
cargo OF fruit, and he prayed that himself
and vessel might be permitted to continue on
their voyage without tumigation and without
detention; the Board of Health, through its
president Samuel Chopin, replied, ordering
the fumigatiOn. Your petitioner then tele-
graphed to his agent and consignee in New
Orleans, Jos. ?. Macheca, to represent to said
Chopin that fumigatiOn would destroy his
cargo. The said Macheca SO represented tC
said Chopin, and requested him not to have
the cargo and vessel fumigated, but said
Chopin would not listen to the representa-
tion, and gave orders to fumigate the vessel
and cargo
Your petitioner shows that he then again
objected and protested against the fumigation
Of his vessel and cargo, and the willful de-
struction OF his fruit; that on the second OF
April, 1873, at about o'clock p. m the fumi-
CATION was made. Two Kettles filled with
birthstone or phur were ignited and placed
in the hold of the vessel, the matches were put
down and covered with tarpaulns, and the
vessel, for one and a half hours, was filled
with the fumes and smoke Of this sulphur or
| birthstone.
III. Your petitioner shows That the fumi-
cation almost wholly destroyed his cargo OF
fruit; that the fumigatfon blackened, cooked,
rotted, and otherwise destroyed and made
unfit for market and sale his cargo Of fruit.
That his cargo consisted principally Of 1775
punches of bananas, which, had they not been
tumigated, and destroyed and damaged by
fumigation, would have sold on arrival at the

The Hoe Disease

Knowing, as do, that many are Interested
in the hog business, and have lost largely by
disease, as we'll as myself, take this toppor,-
tunty to tell you what am using, and what
am sure is Keeping my hogs in good health ,
it is earth matter, which is eaten by the hog,
(old and young, and as I keep it within their
reach, they eat daily all that is necessary
according to hog idea) to regulate Their, sys-
tenn and keep off disease. I find in the direc-
tions. as given by Sherman d Co., Chicago,
that the medicinal action Of the matter that
is fed as q pre- veDtive to disease, has spe-
cfic action on the blood, the liver, the kid
neys, the skin, the glandular apparatus and
every part Of the system is reached BY It.
natural instinct of the hog in eagerly eating
this matter, is conclusive evidence to me that
it keeps off disease, | would not be without
the receipt for ten times its cost.
