The notorious Doctor Bosso
who professed to have discovered Il
specific against yellow fever, recent
~ died at the naval reservation at
Pensacola where the pestilence was
and is now raging with considera
bic v%irulence. The Doctor contract
ed the prevailing disease and re
fused all offers Of rational treat
ment. He persisted in taking his
own medicine and iu going about
instead of taking his bed and sub
hitting TO medical attendance. The
consequence was that he had black
vomit, aud died shortly afterwards.
1t seems that ho claimed that
he had not the yellow fever, but
that he was suffering from some
other complaint.

IL POLTAL NOTE.

The member Of Congress in
whose fertile brain originated tho
idea of the Postal Note should be
voted a leather medal. The people
of the country demanded a cheap
and safe mode of renting small
sums of money through the mails
The money order system which has
been IN existence for many years
and whose operation is thoroughly
understood by everybody, offered
the easiest and best solution to the
problem. All that was needed was
to reduce the rate for the transmits
sion of all sums under five dollars
to three cents and the end was ut
tanned. Instead of this, however,
Congress has provided a note
which shall be payable to bearer,
anG for which three cents shall he
charged. Inasmuch as the paper
currency of the United States is
payable to bearer we fail to see
wherein lies the difference in point
of safety in transmitting either a
postal or bank note through the
mails. The holder of the former
can collect it on simple presentation
and if it be stolen in transit, the
government is in no way response
BILE, whilst under the money order
system, money sent is absolutely
safe, and the government holds it
self responsible for the full amount
sent. We are confident that the
postal notes will be left severely
alone by the business community
of the whole country and that, in
this manner, Congress will realize
the great blunder it perpetrated in
authorizing their issue and will re
peal the law which created them.

/. While Col: TLopis Bush was
abroa1 recently for thu beue
fl Of his health, he inyesegst
ed the immigration problem, with
reference to this State particularly,
andfye learn that he is sof opihia,,
that If suitable steps were taken.
New Orleans conld be made the
point through which Immigrants
would pass OF their way to the. W
rious States in the Mississippi Var
Icy. Without doubt, ifsuch . con
summationcould be reached, a con
siderable number OF immigrants
would, on learning the advantages
and resources Of our State, locate
here.
1t is probable that the Chamber
of Commerce will take this matter
in hand at the instance of Col.
Bush and others like him, equally
interested in the development OF
the material wealth of Louisiana.
1t is time that something should
be done to divert to our State, the
vast tide of immigration now set
ting in across the Atlantic, from
the various countries. of the Old
World.
Year by year, the acreage of cult
vable land is being increased, i'm
provements of all kinds are being
made, and labor. both skilled and
unskilled, is becoming scarcer; ev
Ell in the matter of domestic ser
wants, at least so far as the country
is concerned, it is becoming a per
picking problem with many house
keepers how to manage to get along.
Ii this emergency, we need a cen
trail depot Of immigration in, or
about the vicinity of New Orleans,
a sort of Castle Garden, where i'm
migrants would land on their way
from Europe, and where those in
need of labor of any kind could go
and make their selection.
We will give u cordial support
to any effort made to attract immi
grants to our section, and we hope
that our brethren of the rural press
especially. will join US in agitating
! the matter until success shall have
attic nded our efforts.
