The children are fed on bread and milk and bread and molasses, and sometimes soup. And sometimes donations from private sources provide them with strawberries, ice cream and other luxuries in season. The matron says the children really fare better on five cents a day than fhey did on Consul Catlin, of Stuttgart, writes to the State Department that in spite of the numerous attempts to check the tide of emigratiom from Germany to this country, 97 per cent, of those who emigrate from Germany go to the United States.

Attempts, he says, to check this great movement or divert it into other 4.hfrP"ft1 are numerous and determined. Letters from dissatisfied immigrants to the United States are published in the leading newspapers, and efforts made to divert the stream of immigration to South American or other German colonies. "There is," he says, "a German colony at Montevideo, another in Chili, and quite a numerous one in Brazil. Attempts are made to induce immigrants to go to Australia, but without success, for of the 200,000 immigrants who have left Bremen and Hamburg in' the past year, 194,000 sailed for the United Statee." A Leavenworth, special of Jane 23 ears CoL C.B. Jennison.

the noted "Kansas jay hawker," died at hiaresi dence on Miami street yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the age of 50 years. Up to three months ago he owned and controlled a large gambling establishment in this city, but his health giving way he went to Denver for a while, letting his business run down. He arrived home a week ago, and np to the time of his death inhaled a large amount of cnioroxorm every day to relieve tne asthma, from which he suffered terribly. Shortly before he died he said to his wile "I am dying, and when I am gone nave mem put me away witnou ha vina any of the mockery of preachers or preaching. Good by." There was no man in who had a greater reputation for dare devil courage during the war than Jennison had when he commanded the 7th Kansas.

He was buried here this afternoon. Southern Friendship, One of the best aatures of the military encampment of the past week was the Dim (ring together oi so many oouin acquaintance and fraternal feeling that was made between them, the better understanding of each other as people from the two sections of the country, and of the interests and feeling they represent. Since the Porter Guards of Memphis were here two years ago Dubuque has had a very friendly and cordial feeling toward the South, which has been strengthened by visits of Dubuque delegations to Memphis, New Orleans and other vtlaeee. and has been lirmlv bound bv the Southern companies being present bere this last week. In fact, the fueling of the people of the North and the South toward eacn otner nas never peen so good as now sinoe the war, or since the feeling that culminated in the war commenced to grow after the Wilmot proviso, in 1S47 8.

The feeling of the past baa all diea away, it being most marked among the soldiers of the war, who are ready and anxious to meet and entertain those who fought on the opposite side. If the feeling of Dabuque is an example ef that of the North and there is now a genuine friendship and love felt toward the South, a desire to see it prosper and grow in every respect, and for her people to increase in wealth and to keep np their old time life. The war feeling has ail died away except among those politicians and newspapers who would be clad to see it kept alive and even in te mined for partisan purposes. But they have no following and such unions and bonds as made oy the encampment nullify their efforts in the opposite direction. Only one thing disturbed the harmony of last week, and that was the failure to meet and receive the Washington Light Artillery from New Orleans oa their arrival in the cttv.

It was a great over miht nr nrfttf nines, and our only hope is that the company understood that it was most uninienuoiuM. ocj cmsca In Dubuque was indignant over tbia fail in nn tha turt of the encamnmsnt man agers, and are read to apologue or do svnytnine alone xor is. ncf 4U4, 23.

The Academy ef Music, New Orleans's favorite theatre, was densely crowded laet evening by what may be termed a asetinee audience, feminine faees and eostames predominating in the parquet aad circles. The occasion was the commencement exercises of St. Mary's College, one of the most flourishing Catholio educa tional institutions of the city. It is, and has been since its establishment. nnder the charge of the Christian Broth ers, an order of holy men who annually take the vowa of their order to devote themselves exclusively to educational worx.

The main centre of the brotherhood is in Rochester and Hoboken, New York, but the educational institutions under their supervision are to be found in every quarter ot this country. The property known as St. Mary's College was originally deeded to the dio oeee by M'me Fouoher, a devout Catholio, with tbe stipulation that a chapel should always be sustained in the college. The property was then placed in charge of tbe Christian Brothers of the parish of St. Patrick.

The present head of the institution is Brother Oliver, who is assisted by eleven professors. During the year ait closed the attendance has been about. 250 pnpils, nine of whom were awarded diplomas last night. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was granted to Master James G.

The members take pridei and pleasure in parading the streets on such occasions. The flags and banners of the association appear brighter and lovelier than on other occasions.

West's goo. The case of the Ames Iron Works, of Oswego. New York. vs. B.

J. West 'a Son fcCoin which an applioation was made for an injunction to restrain the defendants from disposing of the assets and property of the firm without the payment of 9903 47 due to complainants, and asking for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the fiaanoee of the firm, was yesterday concluded before Judge Don A. Pardee, in the United States Circuit Court. The bill of complainants wai a lengthy one, and represented that the defendants were wholesale dealers and manufacturers' agents in hardware, machinery, etc In March, 18S4, the orators contracted with the defendants as agents for tbe sale of their steam? engines and The iron works supplied the defendants with articles which they received and accepted. During tha last few months the defendants sold a number of steam engines, with bet proceeds of (9903 47.

On or about tha 6th of the present month the defendants failed ana suspended payment and are at present insolvent, and are nevertheless still in possession and control of tbeir property and assets. As the orators feared that all the assets would be disposed ot they prayed that an injunction issue restraining tbe defendants from disposing of their assets, and that an order issue appointing a receiver to at onoe take possession and charge of all tha property and money now in possession of said defendants. An answer was filed wherein thirty ix merchants of this city, and creditors of B. J. West's Son Co.

ask that tho court refuse tbe application for tht appointment of the receiver and represent tbat said appointment would be injurious to the interest of all the creditors of said firm and to the of the firm itself, by defeating all hopes of paying their debts. Tbe answer also represents that there has been and is no wasting or illegal disposing of tbe assets of said firm, and tbat the creditors are all satisfied that while they have been unfortunate, they are faithful and honest in tbeir efforts to protect the rights of all their creditors. Tbe answer asked that the injunction be dissolved and the spplication for tbe appointment of tho teoeiver be rejected. The ce was yesterday finally argued by Mr. J.

Ward Gorier. for the orators, and Messrs. Singleton, Browne sod Cboate and Bsyne and Denegre for tbe defendants. Judge Paidee issued the injunctions and appointed C. W.

The 'loilowing report was received from the Flushing Committee, and was adopted Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Your ci mmittee tax pleasure in reporting to you that the flushing pumps are performing full servioe daily and in the most satisfactory manner, furnishing ad abundance of oleansing water for the gutters and the streets through which it nows. and diluting tbe contents of tho drainage canals ao that they rarely become offensive. As the weather is getting warm and the refreshing tainf alls will soon be less frequent, preparation should be made for the employment ot a small gang of laborers to perform the usual summer flushing of the streets through which the water does not flow, and for the occasional flushing of the drainage oanals by opening the sluice gates of the navigation canals. We suggest that you authorize this work, and tbat funds be appropriated for same.

Respectfully submitted, Thos. J. Woodward, Chas. E. Slayback, Flashing Committee.

On motion of Mr. Bowling, $500 was appropriated to be used in carrying out this work, Mr. Will stated that the twelve sanitary officers under pay of this association, in conjunction with eight city policemen detailed for sanitary work, were acting under his supervision for tbe State Board of Health. Theee twenty men are making a systematic house to house inspection of every square in the city, commencing at the river and proceeding to the rear. They have thus far inspected about one third of the most densely populated portion ot the city, and have caused the abatement of all nuisances found existing within private property.

The great importance of the uninterrupted continuance of this work will be presented in the detailed reports to be iresented at the end of this month. The great majority of the nuisances are readily and willingly abated upon usual notification. Ail delinquents are promptly reported to the Board ot Health for legal action. In the rounds of tne inspectors a frequent and dangerous nuisance of a novel cbaraotei has been discovered. Owing to the fact that the garbags cart service of the city authorities is not promptly performed, many persons deposit their garbage in the privy vaults, giving the excuse that it is not called for by the city carts, and that they are liable to fines if they throw it into the public streets.

Tenible results may be anticipated from a continuance of this tuode of disposing of putxid animal and vegetable matter. The surveillance of tbe sanitary police and the prompt collect! ju of the garbage by the city authorities are positively iiecesary to Btop this newly developed threat to tbe health of the city. I Mr. Bowling stated that ne noticed Commissioner Fitz patrick was eat oeavuring to have the Mayor enforce he ordinance relative to cleaning fttieetB, gutters, etc. The committee indoreed the action of Mr.

Fitzpatnck in the matter. The following report was read by Mr. Henry Grinder in regard to the garbage Since the last report from your committee. I am pleased to learn that the garbage boat, wbioh was sunk, has been raised and reinstated for servioe at Robin street. I regret to learn that the services at tbese boats continue to be badly and recklessly rendered, without any regard to the health of the city, or to the duties, for which the citizens are largely taxed.

I am at a loss to know how or where to seek the proper remedy, as our frequent efforts have produced no good result, aa will be shown by the following facts. From November to February last, this association continued to make a most favorable proposition to the oity to take charge of these boats at a greatly decreased expense to the city. That proposition was rejected. On the 23th of April, to correct one of the dangerous practices permitted and encouraged by the city officers, the City Council passed an ordinance No. 648, forbidding the culling of rags and bones from the garbage boats.

On the 11th of this month the continuance of this practice was brought to the notice of the Commissioner of Pnblio Works by this association, and on the 16th of this month these facts and this bold infraction of a city ordiuanoe. under the sanction of officers who are paid to enforce them, wan brought to the notice of the City Council in a special address to the Mayor and Coan cil by our President, Mr. Edward Fenner. Yet on the S4th of this montn we bave again called the attention of toe Commissioner of Publio Works that this outrage continues, and that the oity officer in charge of one of the boats gave permission in the continued infraction ui this ordinance. As the last resort presenting itself, I submit to you the propriety of invoking tbe Board of Health, to proceed to take each steps as may stop this continued effort to introduoe into the city the seeds of small pox and other diseases fco notoriously infectious, from filthy rsgs and articles that may have been in contact with diseased persons.

Tbe report was received nd on motion referred to the State Board of Health. The meeting then adjourned. FOUND FLOATING. Yesterday the body of an unknown white man, apparently that of a laborer, was found floating near the right bank of the river, about eignteen miles below tbe city.

Tbese gentlemen were invited to this city by Mr. H. H. Edgerton.

The visitors expressed themselves as surprised at much and delighted at all that was shown them, and were charmed with New Orleans.

After this had been duly discussed all hands repaired to the Opera House there and finished up the evening's diversions with the Catherine Lewis divine kick.

On Thursday morning the visitors took the 11 o'clock train of the Northeastern Railroad and steamed away for Cnatta nooga, where they propose to make another stop. HE HANGED HIMSELF. la a Fit of Mania Ureas. Takes His Life. On Thursday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock Martin Krauz.

The first one to make the discovery tbat Martin had committed soicid9 was his dasghter Lilly, who had been sent cot to search for him.

During the forenoon Martin was seen wandering around his premises, acting I in a very queer manner, which fact was DUdcnaui" via ijuuiii wuw bucjr auu nothing. His wife watched him for some time walking up and down, apparently in a very restless and despondent mood. About 10 o'clock he disappeared from her sight and was gone some time, when Mrs. Kranz. becoming worried, instructed her daughter to go and look for him.

Lilly was gone but a few moments when she came running into the house screaming to her mother that she had found her papa" hanging to a tree in the garden. The mother and daughter went to the yard and the lifeless body was out do wn with a knife by the daughter. Deputy Coroner Stanhope Jones was soon upon the scene, and held an inquest, and gave a certificate of death by suicide. MISHAPS AND MISDEED3. Arsaed Tramps.

Last Wednesday night two tramps named Jack Williams and Albert Ness burt, were arrested on the Levee and lodged in tbe Harbor Station as suspicious characters. When Nessburt was searched a loaded revolver was found on his person, and he waa additionally charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Yesterday the prisoners were broogbt before Recorder Sambela, when tbe judge lectured them severely and cited the case of Officer Madden, who was shot by two parties, one of whom was armed' with a pistol, and were Iilaced nnder arrest for an offense simi ar to theirs.
