Ground Upon Which Towns Steod i Térn ane Rent: Asunder, New Orleans, La, Oct. 6.—The Picayune’s relief steamer, the Emma | McSweeney, returned at an early | hour this moruing from Graad Is land aud Cheueri. ed from their foundations and | thrown several huudred feet. The Grand Isle hotel with its contents, valued at $75,000 is totally wrecked. The inhabitauts of both islands are in need of clothing, water and provisions. The relief boat distribut ed all that it had; she-took on a cargo of provisions this moruing and proceeded direct to Cheneri. Nine bundred dead bodies have been found floatiug in the waters of Grand lake. At Bay Caminda, a family of six were washed to sea on a raft, and washed back again when the wind changed. The property loss on both islands will be very heavy. The loss of life at Cheneri is not less than 700, and may reach 1,000. Only eighteen persons were killed qn Grand Isle, though the destruction of property there was great. ' On Cheniere Caminda a elimax of horror was reached. Cheniere is one df that group of islands which extended along the lower coast, and to which was a station for fishing boats. It contained one town—Cam- indaville—of about 1,600 people, the majority being fisherman. On Sun- _ day evening there were 1,200 dwel- lings within its limits; today twenty- five only remain standing, and of Houses were lift | which had for many hours covered tive other children, ranging from 12) ‘obliterated aud the reporter | obliged to scramble throug the bush- | these not one is uninjured.

What is the use of trying to harmovize a man how can he be expected to be affable and agreeable? Can a confirmed dyspeptic be expected to be cheerful and always ready to tell a funny story? The only way to remove the difficulty is to get at the cause. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, and impure bloood yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla, this is why it is an effective tranquil- izer, a peaceful messenger ar’ a preventive of domestic quarrels. CRIME OF A COLORED BRUTE. A Brutal Assanit Made Upon a Young Lady of Fort Scott. Fort Seott, Kan. Oct. 6.—A big brutal negro to-day at 11:30 entered the residence of E. C.
