there are many associations really In need Of
contributions. Among them, the Union Fran
caise is in urgent need Of money, as this socie
ty not only attends TO thesick. but also provides
for the comfort of the sick Frenchman, takes
care Of the convalescents and buries the dead.
ALI the expense is borne out of the funds Of the
society. 1t Is then evident that the Union Fran
caise. In view Of the stringency Of business. and
Of the prevalence Of he yellow fever, is bound
to ask for aid for the French population Of Lou
stant the Union has visited and cared for 241
cases Of yellow fever, out Of which only sixteen
have died.
The mayor Of New York has sent 5000 to the
society. and we hope that his example will be
followed by others.
DR.. T. L. LIGHT left yesterday to take care OF
the sick among the French residents at Laba-
dieville.
It is to be hoped that when the French people
throughout the United States will hear the ap-
peal of their fellow men In New Orleans. Q sub
scription will be raised to aid the Union Fran
caise in its work Of charity and benevolence

From the evidence In this case 1t appears that
