We have received with the compli-
ments of DR.. A. De Roaldez, a copy of
the annual Report Of the Ear, Eye,
Nose and Throat Hospital of New Or
leans. . This noble institution was
founded, and is conducted solely,
for the benefit of the poor, and depends
entirely upon charitable public for
its support During the first year 46l6
patients were treated, and the number
of patients have increased SO rapidly
that the managers find their building
entirely too small, and they therefore
call upon the generosity Of our people
for assistance to enlaaee their build
ings. Surely for SO worthy and I'M
portant object their call will not be
in vain.

Rough on the Saints.

This morning the Anti-Lottery organ
declared, with hysterical shrek, that
the "monetary" argument would not be
permitted in the coming campaign in
this State, and that its highly virtuous
constituents would patrol the boundary
lines of the parishes with sword and
pistol by their side in order to keep ont
any wicked persons suspected of being
emissaries of the lottery, so that moth
ing in the shape of money could find
it's way into the itching palms of the
saints. We call especial attention to
the following declaration of the Anti
Lottery organ:
Argument, Progressive League ''leahets,
paidSfor speeches by their purchased orators,
editorials and false statements of fact by the
hireling organs of the roulette wheel they are
welcome to use The Anti-Lotteryites can
meet and overcome all of them, for falsehood
ever fees before truth but bribery shall not
be resorted to. We do not propose IN this
campaign to have the manhood, the honesty
and intelligence pitted against the money won
at the lotterys skin game.
Great Scott here is clear case of
Young man afraid of -his-horses. The
organ boldly declares that it does not
intend to have the virtue and the man
hood of the State pitted against the
filthy lucre of the lottery, because it is
afraid that If the clink of silver or the
rattle of crisp bank notes reaches the
ears of the saints they will stampede
to the support of the lottery amend
ment.
This is pretty rough on the saints.
because if they possess all the man
hood and virtue of the State which the
organ has frequently asserted, it would
be impossible to corrupt them but that
the young man has not a great deal Of
confidence in his horses, is very clearly
demonstrated by the announcement
of the organ that the best way to keep
the saints in line is not to allow the
tempter chance to get at them, or they
an opportunity to get at the tempter
consequently the suggestion is to es'
tablisL shotgun quarantine against
the gold fever in each parish and by
hlging the saints securely, prevent
them from getting infected
According to the anti-lottery organ
the exponents of "the manhood, honesty
and intelligence of Louisiana" will no
WELD to stamp speeches, arguments ant
editorials, but if they are pitted against
a few dollars, they are pretty sure t.
dance nerrily into the lottery camp
It strikes us that if the saints do no
rise up and defend themselves agains
the inference that they can be bough
if purchaser is permitted to get a
them, the verdict of the country will b
that the noble band representing "th
manhood, honesty and intelligence o
Louisiana" is made up of decided.
