this is wandering far away from ny
friend Sharp, which is my last
| geographical point. He displayed II
feeling which SENS quite prevalent
among Il large portion Of the Liber-
ians--a desire TO do his trading with
The United States, if possible with tn
south. More than one repeated to
me his expressed sentiments, that
'in spite OF everything their sympa.
thies were with the land of their
birth, and they would like to deal
with her people. 1t is.a flatterin g
compliment to the business men Of
that section, that they seem to poss ess
the confidence Of those who knew
them years ago, in the highest degree.
One of the leading Liberians said:
Il know the men who generally do
business in South Carolina are gentle
men, and that they are above dirty
trick, or taking advantage of a man
because he is far away" (tlle speaker
isa Carolinian.) This feeling seems
to be generally entertained. 1t may
perhaps be partly attributed to the
desire to escape from the monopoly
held by a New York house, who do
much business along the West Go asst,

obtain almost complete control ofth e

Some of the Secrets of the New
Orleans Charnel-HOuse Conn
ing Out.
Four Thousand Carloads of Gar
bage Decaying in the Streets!

New ORLEANS, La, Sept. Is
The startling announcement
was published this morning that
duIirg the spring and early
summer 1000 cart loads of gar
bage We're dumped i'll the front
streets of the city, and that to
this New Orleans is indebted
for the epidemic. This is siren
uously denied by the city au-
thorities; but after careful ex-
animation your correspondent
is satisfied the charge is not on
ly to a great extent true, but
that there has been criminal neg
Icct in every department con-
trolling the sanitary or street
police business. The Mayor
was criminally negligent, or ig-
norant, in ignoring the solemn
warming of the highest sanitary
authority in the State, given as
early as July 25th. None Of the
wise suggestions then made
were acted upon;. and if relief
has been as general as intima-
ted, many well-informed per-
sons are unaware Of the fact.
1t can be depended upon that
those cheeky enough TO demand
it have received food; but what
became of the weak, timid and
helpless God only knows.

pulverizcd charcoal is almost a
sure preventive Of yellow fe-
yer. They point to the fact
that many families in this city
used it during every visitation
Of the yellow fever, and that
not one Of them had the dis
ease. The proper way to use it
is mixed with a little sugar and
water, a tablespoonful at a dose,
once or twice a day before
meals. 1t can be had of any
druggist. Others have great
confidence in turpentine. They
say tits the best disinfectant of
