ing their time and talent 10 the cause free of
charge. Even the prisoners IN the peniten-
tiary at st. Cuintln, 1t Will be seen. were not
unmindiul OF the necessities Of the hour, but
in their own unfortunate condition listened to
the cries of distress and gave OF their scanty
means But above all We sholld feel exceed
ingly grateful to the school children of
San Francisco. They brought from FIVE
cents up, and a. meh as they
could get, with glad hearts, 10 swe
the sum. The aggregate amount OF
their contributions thus raised was over
six thousand dollars. One little boy, know,
who formerly lived IN Memphis, as did no
doubt many others, broke open his bank in
which he had been saving his little accumu-
lations since he was q baby and gave all he
had 10 sweet charity cause. Can heaven
fail to smile on such gifts? | was sorry to
see, short time since, that the San Francis
CO Chronicle had published certain state
ments concerning the management OF tae
Howard association of this city whirh might
have a tendency to make the people Of that
coast believe that their charities lad been
misapplied. 1t Is not for me to deny charges
nor repel ISLANDERS against others; but | will
say, for the benefit OF those who may credit
these reports, that, knowing the men as |
do, who had the money under their cJntrol
and for distribution, | would be willing to
trust them with as many millions of dollars
that every dollar would be properly applied,
so far as it was possible for them to do 50.
That designing persons have fraudulently
obtained both money and provisions under
the peculiar circumstances and general gloom
which surrounded the city at that time,
cannot be doubted; but such was not
done with the knowledge or approval
of the different organized relief societies
in this city or the territory they visited. The |
world stood In awe, and with bated breath !
listened to the tales of woe which were re-
lated so sadly of our fair sunny south. From
beyond the seas the tide of sympathy bore its
fruits OF charity to distant homes where an
gels OF mercy blessed God that men were
still of one kindred and brotherhood. These
things will be sweet to remember in after
years, when the dreadful recolections of this
epidemic shall be told to generations yet uD-
born. In the remotest part of the civilized
world it Is kno wn that there are brave and
good men and women here in the city of
Memphis, with as good society as can be
found anywhere under the sun. 1t is also
well known abroad that Memphis Is a city
of such local position and commercial i'm
portance as to induce immigration, whenever
it Is believed to be free from the recurrence
of epidemics. The means for the prevention
of this lie partly in your own hands; then let
each citizen do his duty, and the time may
yet come when she will, PhRnix like, rise
from the ashes of the dreadful past, to as
sumo new life, vigor and strength, and be
placed among the large cities of the Union
which are yet to grow and flourish IN this
rich Mississippi valley.
