The New York dallies commenced the week
with a review of the financial situation, and come
to the conclusion that the prospect Tor a renewal
of labor and trade Is lore encouraging than the
events Of the previous week indicated.


The Times says The panic began on account

greatest call for it TO IN business requirements
That great distress will come among the laborne
classes this week is certain. The bonds OF the
Savings Banks will be largely drawn upon and de-

At the meeting Of the Board Of Health,
held on the fourteenth of June, 1872 the
following ordinance was adopted:


SECTION /. Before any owner, contractor,
or other person shall erect any dwelling or

the city of New Orleans, he shall obtain
from the office of the Board of Health OF
the State of Louisiana, certificate show
ing, that the level of such lot is not below

able drainage facilities, SO as not to be
dangerous, from dampnesS or defective
drainage. to life or health. Any owner,
contractor or other person violating any
portion of this ordinance shall be liable to
fine of $50.


At another meeting Of the board the
grade for filling lots was established at not
less than three-fourths of an inch to every
ten feet Of distance from the inner side OF
the banuuette in front to the rear of the lot


The corps of sanitary officers under
the orders of the board have been in
structed to report all persons not COM
plying with this ordinance, and suit is
to be instituted against them as fast
as reported. Parties interested, there

DO PEOPLE READ ADvERrIsMESrs.-
There Is now and then a person 70 stupid
as to believe that advertisements on news
papers are not generally read, and that
money expended in advertising is practi.
cally wasted. Even such will concede
that ifa hundred men of polite address,
of fluent speech and ready wit were to
call daily or weekly each upon hundred
others and get the ears Of each long en-
ough to say Jno. Smith or Jones, or
Thompson at such a place, has such and
such goods at such prices, or would sell
farm, or house and lot, or had lost horse
or pocket-book, or would loan money. etc,
we say such men will concede that the
services Of this one hundred men would
be of great value to Smith or Jones, and
in some measure advantageous to pay to
whom this statement was made. The
hundred men could not be employed to

ment to ten thousand people at less than
the cost Of several dollars each trip. All
this is done by the newspapers at cost
of few shillings or a few dollars at
most, and the visits are made week after
week, day after day. The messenger
who travels, addresses himself to the ear
and takes the party addressed, when he
may have his thoughts absorbed in bust
ness or other matters but the newspa-
per reaches the party sought through the
eye, when the reader has his thoughts
solely fixed upon the paper before him.


But those who effect to believe that
there is little use in advertising, urge as
an objection that advertisements are not
read. They can be easily convinced of
their error in this respect by making in
quiry. Let them insert an advertise

and they will be flooded with offers to
sell before the ink of the advertisement

One of the most ferocious and sue
successful of the brigand chiefs who had
been for many years the terror of Soth-
ern Italy has at last been hunted down
and his band dispersed. This company
of marauders does not appear to have
been very numerous, being only nine
persons, but their chief, Manzi, had pur-
sued his depredations SO long and with
such uniform good fortune that dread of
power gave him the population of entire
villages as passive, if not active sympa-
thizers. Fortunately he had lately to
do with Prefect who found out the
safest and the readiest way of dealing
with such men. The Prefect or Salerno
did not cucumber his movements with a
formidable military force, SO as to give
warning of it's approach whenever it
went he treated Manzi as wild beast
to be tracked to its lair and shot down
by any sportsman lucky enough to get
within reach. The brigand and his fol-
lowers, after various doublings, were
fairly caught in the tolls, when that hap
pened which has so often occurred to ex-
perienced tiger or bear hunters in India
and elsewhere. Manzi and his men,
brought to bay, turned fiercely on their
pursuers and sold their lives as dearly as
they could. They killed one gendarme
and wounded three others, six of them
selves and their leader perishing in the
struggle. With the extirpation of this
scourge the province of Salerno is now
free from the incubus of brigandage,
and the worst legacy of its former vi
cious and corrupt rule has been cast

Sir William Napier was one day tax
ing long country walk, when he met a
little girl about 5 years old sobbing over
broken bowl. She had dropped and
broken it, in bringing it back from the
field to which she had taken her fathers
dinner, and said she would be beaten on
her return home for having broken it.
As she said this, a sudden gleam of hope
seemed to cheer her. She innocently
looked up into Sir Williams face and
said : 'fBut you can mend it, can't
you? ?" He explained that he could not
mend the bowl, but the trouble he could
overcome by the gift of a sixpence to
buy another. However, on opening his
purse it was empty of silver, and he
promised to meet his little friend on the
same spot at the same hour next day,
and to bring sixpence with him !; bid


ding her meanwhile to tell her mother
she had seen a gentleman who
would bring her the money for a
bowl next day. The. child, entirely
trusting him, went on her way comfort
ed. On his return home he found an
invitation awaiting him to dine in Bath
the following evening to meet some one
whom he especially wished to see: He
hesitated for some little time, trying to
calculate the possibilities of living the
meeting to his little friend of the broken
bowl and still be in time for the dinner
party at Bath, but finding this could
not be, he wrote to decline accepting
the invitation, on the pleaof previous
engagement" saying, "I cannot disap-
point her !; she trusted me.

by blow. This was the end of my
dream she had no brother this Ru-
dolph was-well, had been an idiot.


I don't remember what I said or did
after that, but believe I muttered some
sympathizing words and then walked
mechanically out of the house, and back
to Vignelles. When I got there I ex-
amined my little store of money, and
necessary, put the rest in an envelope,
and sent it to Monsieur Berton with a
few lines of regret that L was suddenly
obliged to return to England, and beg
ging him to accept the money as loan,
if he would not do so as gift, in token
of my friendship and sympathy. Then
I went straight away from Vignelles
without leaving any address, and from
that day to this I have heard nothing
more of the Bertons. I tried hard to
forget Adele, and after time I sue
ceeded.


Aut do wonder if she is as charming
now as she was then let me see, she

have married him, as her name is still

the same name? Very true but if she

that she is looking over my shoulder as

In these times of business depression
and consequent stringency in the
money market, the financial situation
can be improved if every one will pay
promptly his little bills. The Phila-
delphia ledger puts it in this way -
''However small the amount, pay it at
once Il party t. whom it is due may
be waiting for it to enable him to make
up the requisite amount to pay much
larger sum. There is no estimating
the good that may result from the pay
men Of a single dollar. AS often as
once in week every one incurring
little debts should overhaul his ac-
counts and make special efforts to pay
all, or as many of them aspossible. No
one should postpone payment from
mere Indifference. Nothing will so
soon and SO etfectually remedy the
difficulties experienced from want of
currency as this, and it is a remedy
that will cost little of effort and no in
convs nience. On the contrary, there
will follow the ivelieet satisfaction to
all, to those WHO pay as we'll as to those
who receive. Reeder, look to it in
your own case.

There is a good deal said in oensure
of the custom of jumping off and on the
cars when in motion. 1t is righteo us
condemnation, but is not consistent
when coming from railroad companies.
Ii they truly desire a reform they must
begin at home, for as long as employees
will jump on train when in motion,
and persist in doing it as gracefully as
they do, an initiative public will be the
sufferers. People don't Jump on train
before it stops because they are in a
hurry, but because they have seen a
brakeman or conductor do it, and have
terrible dread of being surpassed.
Now, at the station the other day,
Conductor Phillips, of the eastern train,
after giving the word to start, waited
until the last car reached him, and then
raising one hand to the rail and one
foot gently from the earth, he swung
majestically around, and was at once
firmly on the car. Mr.. Phillips weighs
two hundred pounds, but there was
such grace and poetry in his motion
that he seemed to blend with the car.
First there was yellow paint, and then
gold leaf, and maroon, and Phillips.
There was an elderly person who saw
Phillips do this, and his eyes glistened
with anticipation. He was going on
the western train, and when it came
along he waited until a fine rate of
speed was gained, and then raising his
hand and leg, just as he had seen
Phillips do, and looking carelessly
away just as Phillips did, he reached
out for the rail, and the next instant
was trying to push his head through
the platform planks, and fighting the
air with his heels, and madly paving
around with his hands, and swearing
and praying at an awful rate. They
stood him up on his feet and rubbed
his head with some snow, but it was a
long while before they could convince
him that the locomotive had not ex-
ploded.
