HOWARD ASSOCIATION. Therooms of the Howards were, as nsual crowded with people Thursday morning, and all through the day. The applications for relief up to noon, reached 40 in number. were no dispatches of any public importance. 1 Allen Pinkerton, of the Pinkerton Do teotiye-Agenoy, Chicago, has forwarded to tbe association, through Chief Boy-Jan, for the relief of the sufferers.

A number of private persons and also associations sent in contributions during the day, and the members were busily at work np to 9 o'clock at night receiving applications and attending to them. The officers and members cave corn pletely sacrificed their own businee in the grand effort to alleviate the afflictions of the community. i Last night the executive committee met and passed a resolution requesting the pastors of churches stop their bells during the prevalence of the fever. This request will doubtless be acceded to, as the bells are a great source of annoyance to the sick. A Windfall fraoa Haw Verk.

Chopp'm commenced the cold water treatment on a yellow fptver natient at the Charity Hospital. hcee cate was a hopeless one. Trie tcraperatnre was at the time the treafc-TOpnt cQEiuifuced redncetl from 105 2 5-" to ICS S-5: Fahrenheit. The treatcnent a snociissluily continued until yester day evening, when all hope of saving the patient was abandoned. Last night he was verv low, and it Tas not expectei he would live until morning.

City HalT The course of business in the City Hall seems to have come to a stand still, owing to tbe condition of atiairs whioh prevails, and probably there will be no display of activity until matters resume their normal status. The work of repairing the wharves is being pushed forward, as it is absolutely necessary that they should be placed in a condition to receive the large amount of produce expected thi fall. The cotton wharf at the head of Canal street is being extended about tixtv-eight feet into the river. This baa been rendered necessary by the low ntage of the water and the gradual shallowing of the river in this locality. Last night at half-past 7 o'clock thi Washington Artillery Rifle Club met at the armory of the battalion, on Common 8 tree for the purpose of organizing permanently a military ritie club on the order of the 7th Regiment.

To lovers of asparagus Le Cultivateur draws to a method of cultivating this highly prized vegetable, known as the system Argenteuil. The beds should be dug out, and the earth raised about five centimetres; the excavated soaoe in them is then filled with tan.

Asparagus so grown is more V'leHho the number of heads, and the tiize is greatly increased another advantage is that the growth is muoh more prompt. BOARD OF HEALTH. A ReaalatSen Reipcdu the Xmtm J.

That the President be instructed to rvqneet the Governor to revoke his proclamation of May 15th, establishing quarantine at the Rigaleca and Atehafalava stations, so as so take effect immediately.

Adopted.

Sam. Choppin, President Board of Health Doctor I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your indorse ment of zstn on communication from the resident physician at Quarantine. I don't thorouKuly understand the case, as the reporttis not comprehensive. but as there appears to be a autereuoe of some sort between the doctor and oar oGSoer. I have ordered a transfer of the officer in the interests of harmony.

We desire to co-operate with you in every possible way, but the resident physician should be informed that our officers have certain rights and duties under the U. 8. laws and some concession snouia also come from him. I trust there will be no further eanse of complaint. very respectfully, THOS, C.

ANDERSON, Special Deputy Collector. Dr. Chouuin stated that this communi cation referred to a complaint of the Quarantine Jrhysicisn tnac tue unatom-liouse officer at the Quarantine Grounds had not appeared disposed to acknowl edge the authority of tne Quarantine efficer. Dr. Choppin called attention to the necessity of taking some aotion to compel physicians to obey the ordinance relative Repertlnsr Cases ef Yeilew Fever.

The rate of mortality, about 30 per he said was entirely too large. ud was due to the fact that many caass were not reported. Dr. Loeber said some physicians were so buoy that they were not to make the report. Dr.

Choppin replied that he aid not refer to those physicians, bat to others who he knew were not inclined to obey the ordinance, and had not made their reports. It waa very important, ha continued, to obtain as full statistics ai possible, as it had never been known iromthe year 179G to the present how many cases of yellow fever had occurred in the city of New Orleans. He atftuaj that as long sb the law existed it should be enforced. Dr. Loeber remarked that ha was of opinion that the mortality was really not over lO por cent.

Or. Onoppio read the ordinance on this subject, which is as follows Ordinance. Mar 18. 1870 Src. 23.

All practmcubrs of medicine, masters of any water crate, hotel, boarding or lodging house keepers, principals or masters of any boarding school or seminary, the chief officers or persons in charge of any public institutiou of caar-ity or asvlaxn. or otcerwuse. are hereby required to report, within twenty-four hours, to the office of the Bjard of Health, all cases within their cognizance of Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, typhus or ship fever, malignant scarlet fever, small-pox, varioloid, trichini vis. or any other case that may at any time be specified by the Board of Health, aud in default or failure to so report suoh cases, such person so failing or iu default shall be liable to a fine not to exceed fifty dollars: provided, however, that said board may declare it unnecessary to report further cases, when any disease shall have been pronounced epidemic He also read the circulars sent around to the various physicians. He said he was certain that tcere were some physicians, four or iive.

who did not report their cases. If the Board of Health was of any use at all its use was to collect statistics. Dr. Albrecht offered the following Resolved. That The President ba authorized to enforce the ordinance, section requiring practicing physicians to report all cases of yellow fever and other contagious diseases.

Adopted. Dr. Choppin then addressed some re-, marks to the board on the Bubject of yeilow fever, which will be found in anther column. The board then adjourned. Word to the City Fathers.

To the Editor of the Pica j-ute In view of the distress and suffering in consequence of the prevailing epidemic in this city.andtbe many experiments tried to get it under control, how would it do to try to persuade our City Fathers to cause the 30-inch iron pipes through the levee laid down some twenty-five years ago, from canal to Felicity streets) to be opened aid nsh all the perpendicular streets covered by them from tbe river, when that is of sufficient height? One effect would bs to purify them and to carry the malaria arising therefrom into the drainage canals, whence fiorld be carried to the lake by the draining KftChjaes, Another good effect, it6eni3 to me. would be to create a current of sweet water through the canals, those great depositories of materials, which in their present stagnant, filthy condition are the true reservoirs of malarial and miasmatic vapors. These pipes were laid for that express purpose, at a large cost to the city, with openings abreast of each street, and why they have not been utilized before this time, is a very profound mystery to many of our oldest citizens. The former iron building, which stood at the bead of Canal street, was intended as an engine-house to contain the machinery to pump the river water, when the river was too low to flow through itself. I wish now to call the attention of the City Fathers, the "Seven Wise Men," to the fact of the existence of this line of pipes, and the great necessity of utilizing them at as early a day as possible, the partial efforts now being maae to tinsh the gutters being inadequate to the emergency.

A Man Fatally Shoots a Rival and then KHla HUnselt Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, one of the most shocking and bloody tragedies ever witnessed in our community was enacted on Dryades street, between Thalia and Erato streets. The principal actors were, two young men named respectively Charles Curtis and Ed.

Bergen, both aged IS years. The affair, which lasted only a minute, resulted in Bergen being dangerously if cot mortally wounded by Curtis, who afterwards committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart. Upon hearing of the affair, which excited the entire vicinity, a reporter of the Picayune repaired to the place, and there gleaned The Fallawlnc Details Berger and Curtis, it appears, were both admiring the same young lady, and though they were not intimate, knew each otber. Last Sunday, tbe day on which the affair which ended so sadly jesterday orignated, Curtis, irho had called on the young lady, was sitting on the steps of her residence in conversation with her. Bergen, in company with one of his friends named Stringer, passed by, when Curtis remarked to the lady, in a tone sufficiently loud to be heard by Bergen and Stringer, and evidently with a view of injuring Bergen in the esteem of the lady, There go two rats." Respecting the presence of the lady, the two young men who had been thus insulted, passed on, apparently not noticing the insult, bat determined the first time either of them met Curtis they would chastise him for his insult.

Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, Bergen met his msulter at the corner of Thalia and Dryades streets. He immediately approached him and struck bim on the nose, causing the blood to flow freely. They grappled, and a scuffle was about to follow, when mutual friends interfered and separated them. Bergen went to No. 371 Dryades street, near Erato, to the residence of his father.

John C. Bergen, who keeps a crockery store, and Curtis to a neighboring store where he Washed the.Blead from his face. He then walked to the residence of his mother, No. 342 Caion-delet street. He there armed himself with a Smith Wesson improved revolver, and returned to Dryades etieet.

Upoa arriving opposite No. "J71, he saw Bergen eitLing in the store, a few feet inside of the door. Without a word of warning he drew his revolver and fired. Before Bergen, who had seen him level nis pistol, could spring to his feet, the bullet had entered his left breast just below the nipple. The quick pain caused by the wound gave Bergen new strength to rise from his chair and seek refuge in the rear of the store, but just as he turned around a second bullet was Bent whizzing at him by Curtis.

This missile, as well directed as the first, srrcck a china pitcher standing on the shelf in a line between the two men It 6hatlered it to pieces and running its coartrtj lodged in Bergen's back jait above the waist. Satisfied that the bullets bad done their work, Curtis Placed tbe Uluzzle of the pistol to his left breast and pulled the trigger. The ballet entered his heart, and he fell back and expired almost instantly. Mra. Bergen, who was up stairs, heard the three shots and ran to the store.

As she arrsved, to her great horror. Bhe discovered her son wounded and Curtis lying dead oa the sidewalk Dr. Newman, who was in the vicinity. ws called in and examined Bergeu's wonnds, but refused to give his opinion as to their result. Curtis'a body was removed to tbe reeidenco of his mother, No.

Xtlan With the Snakes. Ills Terrible Strscal With His Wife. Yesterday afternoon at half past 1 o'clock, a man named Thomas Williams, occupying a portion of house No. 32 Old Levee, heard cries issuing from the floor above his head. He ran up stairs and found the occupant of that story, whom he knew was an inveterate drinker, under tbe influence of a violent attack of delirium tremens.

With one hand the maniac was attempting to wrench his babe from his wife's arms, aud in the other held np a chair ready to fell her to the floor, if she did not abandon the child to him. He was threatening his wife to throw the child out of the window, when Williams arrived aud seized him. With a violent jerk he freed himself, and seizing a billet of wood st nek Williams across the right eye. Though somewhat stunned by the blow, Williams again seized him, and creamed for assistance. The officer on the beat, attracted by the help, rushed no stairs, and with Williams at cured.

'WafclJngtos to PhnadslhUTjmea. Certain facts have come to light within a day or two which go to show that Uen. Butler's professions of devotiou to i be interest's of the tailoring man aud tc tie and sailors re not allowed to in erf ere with hi own but-that, on the contrary, he does not scruple to make nse of his rtlations with the cJaita named to increase his immense woriciy game. Five or six years ag Congress parsed a law. engineered hrocgh by Gen.

Butler himself, tfce Supremo Couit of tbe District, rf Colombia to take up srd aujcdieate the capture of N-w Orleans as a prize to the navy. The took the required steps and made an award of about iyOo.000, to be distributed aajonp the officers and sailors of Farragut's fleet. As the cotton and other articles coming under the head of prizes, ceptured with the city of New Orleans, had been appropriated by the Government, there was of course no condemnation or sale or any prize court. The money came out of the Treasury in a lump. Tne court appointed as proctors, not by mM-e accident it is certain.

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and Nathaniel Wilson. Their duties were of the most nominal character, go easy 6t execution, that Use youngest attorney tn the land could have performed them, irdeeo. Gen.

brztlir himself did next to notfarrg. Mr. Wilson did something more, and seme young attorneys were hired to take testimony, gtc, aud were paid the smallest of fees, one of them receiving only $300. Accounting officers of the Treasury, accustomed by years of experience to know the services of Gen. Butler and Mr.

Wilson, say that $5000 would be a big fee for tbe services they performed in connection with the Farragut Yet these gentlemen obtained the monstrous allowance of 58, a eum unprecedented in history. The gentlemen concerned no doubt claim very justly that the Bum named aa compensation to them was decreed by the court, but everybody knows how those things are done. The court decreed one 7, 1JS73, an allowance to proctors of IS. On July 7, 1S75, the court decreed 68, ara May 1. 1S73, S3.

The Fourth Auditor of the Treasury adjudicates all matters relating to the navy, such as prize money, and the First Auditor adjudicates all matters relating to the courts, but in neither of these offices are there any receipts or statements showing how the immense allowance was disposed of. There is not even a receipt of the gentlemen for the money. How much of the lion's share Mr. Butler took. and how little Mr.

Wilson was satisfied with, is yet in the dark. There is no means of knowing, except from the officers themselves, how muoh, in addition to the extrsordinarv fee above mentioned, the officers of Farra- gut's fleet paid Gen. Bntler for bis vioes. A prominent gentleman eonne ed with tbe navy said to-day thaie adjudication of the affairs of jayCo -i Co. would now have to stand aside an example for outrageous charges.

The S142.C00. it must be remembered, came out of the allowance made by Congress to tbe officers and seamen or arraaut tit et, and the more Gen. Butler reoei ved tbe less tbe sailors and their families- obtained. It is not 'improbable many of them are now suffering foe the necessaries of life, while Gen. Butler appears before the country asking a reward for his services to the soldier and sailor.

A new anecdote of Pius IX is told in the Recollections of a Lifetime." by an aged Italian journalist. A very wealthy French lady, whose husband was abroad in the diplomatic rervice of France, undertook a pilgrimage to Borne with her sons and daughters. When the audience wae obtained, the lady, kneeling, said: Holy Father, I shall not rise until yoa tell me what favorlmav bestow upon too." "Bise, my child." said the old Pope. because the favor I would require von cannot offer me that is a pair of new legs."

Pedro el CroeL" Mr. Jeffrey has established the fact that bones disappear in the ocean. By dredging it is common to bring up Vut rarwlv ever a bone of a ay kind. These, however compact, dissolve if ex- fosed to the action of tbe water but a ittle time.

On the contrary, teeth which are cot bones any more than whales are fish resist the destroying aotion of sea water indefinitely. Dentine, tLe peculiar material of which teeth are formed, and tbe enamel covering them, oiler extraordinary resistance to these chemical agencies, which resolve ther animal remains into nothingness. Mounds in tbe West ana tumuli ia Europe sjud Asia, which are bciieved to antedate sacred history for thousands of years, yield np perfectly sound teeth, on which time appears to have made no impression whatever. The witty chronicler. Pierre Veron.

remarks, on the strength of the classics, that in ancient times people maae tLarn-selves countenances htch never -blushed. Modern times have invented the intermittent blush. There is a fashion for tbe latter phenomenon just as there is for veloutine. Ladies throw down with horror a novel in which they rind the slightest infraction of drawing-room manners, but they read with avidity all tbe foul details of vice and debauchery which are served up iu the chronicles of the Jaw courts. It is not often that imtnortolity can be purchased for so small a sum as lOOf.

The Bishop addresses a most spi rit-stirring appeal to the faithful, iu be calls Joan a warrior, a victim and a taint. It ia true that the Church burnt her.

Tbe total amount produced by the sale of the Queen of Spain's diamonds, which was concluded a few weeks ago at the Hotel Drouot, was 3.4S7.00 frauoa.

Many young men from Austrian Tyro are fleeing from Francis Joseph's mi tli tary Fervice, and taking reinge A'itz eriand and Lombardy. An account of a recent miracle is furnished by the Be v. Father Darin, of the missionaries of the Sacred Heart, to the last number of the Annals. The incident is related by S. M.

Carola, of the Convnt of the Holy Family, Baltic, Ct. Last April one of the Sisters accidentally broke tne second joint of her right thumb. Tbe doctors set it and kept it bandaged for about ten days. It waa very paininL and rendered the Sister quite incapable of writing, though she was still able to preside ovw her class. When tbe bandages were removed the sinews were ho contracted, though the bone had been well set, that the Sister could not move the thumb.

She diHCov-eied, too, that at the end it was paralyzed. "Our anxiety for our poor Sister." Bays the correspondent, and our desire that she should be cured became so ardent that, seeing no chance of succeeding by human means, we turned to an unfailing source of compassion, namely, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart was approaching, and through her powerful intercession we determined to seek our Sister's cure. On third day of the Novena, the 8ister ait sensation, in part of the thumb, which circumstance greatly increased our confidence. No itiither chance took blace.

and we con cluded the Novena on the Feast of Oar Lf.Ij of the Sacred Heart by a general commnnion. The Novena was finished, but the day itself haa not come to a llcee, and so we still kept hoping on. fcchcol time came and Sister had to go to her class with but little courage. For seven weeks she had rot been able to hold a pen, and another Sister had to write exerciees on the blackboard, for her. She had hoped to be cured, but now, feeling the thumb just as dead as before, Bhe thought that it was not Gcd's will that she should be cured, so 6 he resigned herself perfectly to His good pleasure, and endeavored to anply herself to her class duties.

Suddenly she felt a warm glow rush through her hand and arm, and in an instant she could move the long immovable thumb." The cure is represented to have been instantaneous and complete. The physician who was in attendance certifies to the correctness of the statement. A German writer lecalls how. at the Paris Exposition in 1S55, Louis Napoleon visited the German department of the great 6how. Just as he arrived a Prussian helmet, the topmost one of a lofty pyrimid that had evidently for days retained its position by the frailest tenure, rolled down and along the floor to his feet.

The German attendants were in constemation.sand Bonaparte himself gazed at the warlike headgear for a moment in astonishment. Soon however, the expression changed to a sardonic smile. He evidently saw in the helmet at his feet the augury of defeat and humiliation for the power that it rt presented.
