The foregoing report contains one or two
errors OF addition, but / present it without
corrections. These few errors doubtless were
typographical, as the report was handed in
too late for proof correction. Besides, it does
not matter whether the yellow fever cases
amounted to ten or to one thousand, for my
object Is simply to demonstrate that we have
In New Orleans more or less yellow fever
every year.
Dr. Simonds' statistics just given were
handed by him to Dr. Fenner, and were pub
lshed by DR.. Fenner Immediately following
his own statement, also furnished above. Dr.
SimOnds paper was published, accompanied
by the following note from DR.. Fenner: "Af-
ter closing the preceding report referring to

we were kindly furnished by DIR. Simonds
with the following valuable statistics OF vel
low fever at the Charity Hospital for which
we return our grateful acknowledge ments.
We give them without comment, as they
speak for themselves
Now, it will be noticed that DR.. F.'s report
shows that excepting only the year 1845, he
found more or less cases OF yellow fever oc-
curing In this city every year that Is, from
1S41 to 1S49, inclusive. DIR. Simonds' later re-
port, published by DIR. F., however, does not
except the year 1845 from his list. His sta

A jocular Senator from the West tells a
very good story about another Senator from
a Southern State. The latter began life as a
brakeman on a railroad, and by industry and
foresight has accumulated a fortune and high
political honors. Senator Thurman while
speaking usually holds his eye-glass in one
hand and huge red handkerchief In the
other. He blows a sounding blast on his ma
sal organ in the midst OF o speech quite as
naturally as Senator Dawes looks up at the
galleries every time he addresses the Vice
President. 1t was an all-night session. The
silver bill was under discussion. The South
ern Senator referred to was quietly sleeping
on a sofa In the cloak-room. Mr.. Thurman
was speaking. He blew his nose with such
heard in the Secretary's Office The sleeping
Senator was awakened by the noise, and
leaping to his feet grasped a chair by the side
of the sofa and twisted it around until the
author Of the story grasped him by the arm
and brought him to a realizing sense Of his
whereabouts. 1t Is now an unhealthy matter
to call "down brakes to the victim OF the
Joke.

TILDEN AND HAYES.
How the Former Treated the Fraud Mt
the Bryant COmmemOratiOn
Meeting.
Hartford Times.J


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Mr. Tilden and Mr.
Hayes were attentive listeners at the Bryant
commemoration meeting. They occupied
places far apart, yet they had never before
been so near each other as upon this occasion.
1t was the desire OF the committee that Mr..
Tllden should occupy seat on the stage
with the other distinguished men who had
been invited, but as it was known that Mr..
Hayes would be there Mr.. Tilden declined.
He would not sit in the same company with
Commerce invited Hayes to one of its ban
quets at Delmonico's, shortly after his occu-
patton of the White House, q special effort
was made to secure the attendance of Mr..
Tilden also, but the rightful President could
not be persuaded to go. He ignores Mr..
do any act that could be construed into re-
cognition of the Ohio mans official character
When the Bryant reception was over nearly
all the gentlemen who had been invited to It
DePeyster, president OF the Historical Socie-
ty. Mr.. Hayes was there shaking hands with
all who showed any desire to touch palms
with him. Mr.. Tilden was conspicuous by
his absence. He would not enter the same
room with the man who obtained the Presi-
dency by fraud. 1t was only his long and
intimate acquaintance with Mr.. Bryant, and
the warm friendship that he entertains toward
Mr.. Bryant's family, that induced him to
attend the commemoration meeting, know
ing as he did, that Mr.. Hayes would be a
special guest.
II Mr.. Hayes Is at all sensitive, dare say
1t CALLED him somewhat to note that
Mr.. Tilden and the members Of Mr.. Bryants
family constituted distinct party by them
selves, looking down from conspicuous box
on the company spread over the stage.
The companions OF Mr.. TiIden were Parke
Goodwin, Mr.. Bryant's son-in-law, Miss Julia
Bryant, the poets daughter, and Miss Goodwin.
These were the only representatives of the
Bryant family present. Mr.. Goodwin believes,
as Mr.. Bryant did, that Mr.. Tilden was right
fully elected, and he preferred Mr.. Tildens
COM any to that OF the man who obtained his
office by fraud. Mr.. Goodwin also absented
himself from the reception at the house of
Mr. DePeyster.
In fact there was throughout studied
avoidance OF Mr.. Hayes by the direct represen-
tatives OF Mr.. Bryant, as well as total ig-
noring OF him by Mr.. Tilden. ................ Z.
