GEN. HARRIS0N'S
Letter to SherrOd Williams,

During the canvass of 1886, Sherrod
Williams, Esq a member Of Congress from
Kentucky, addressed letter of enquiry to
Gen. Harrison, on certain political matters,
which drew forth the following reply:
NORTH BEND, May |, 1886.
Sir:-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your letter of the 9TH ultimo,
in which you request me to answer the fol-
lowing questions:
LIST. "Will you. if elected President of
the United States, sign and approve bill
distributing the surplus revenue of the
United States, to each State according TO
the federal population Of each, internal i'm
provement, education, and to such other
objects as the Legislature Of the several
States may see fit to apply the same'"
I'd. "Will you sign and approve bill
distributing the proceeds Of sales of the
public lands to each State, according to the
federal population of each, for the purposes
above specified"
Sd. "Will you sign and approve bills
making appropriations to improve nayiga-
BILE streams above ports of entry?"
4!h. "Will you sign and approve (if it
becomes necessary to secure and save from
depreciation the revenue and finances Of
the nation, and to afford uniform, sound
currency to the people Of the United
States) a bill, with proper notifications
and restrictions, chartering Bank of the
United States1"
9Th. "What is your opinion as to the
Constitutional power Of the Senate of Rep
reSentatives Of the Congress Of the United
States, TO expunge or obliterate from the
journals the records and proceedings of
previous session."

Principles of Gen. Harrison !

Harrison, written by him in 1886, in reply to the
interrogatories of Hon. Sherrod Williams, defn-
ing his POSITION clearly, in regard to many of the
most important topics which adid then, and do
now agitate the nation, candid and impartial
perusal, from all who labor under the erroneous
impression, made by the office holders, that Gen
Harrison, has no principles, or dare not avow
them. We have few more letters, still further
"defning his principles" which we shall publish
soon,

CENSUS ANEcDorE. Mr.. Crist, in a
letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Chron-
icle, relates the following dialogue between
himself and a married lady:
MADAM, what age shall put you down
-(no direct answer.) How old is youl
husband9" "Sixty-one" ''And your ell
dest son ?'-"Twenty SEVEN" "And the
next?" "Twenty-one." "And how old
do you call yourself" 81 do not know my
age exactly; but it is about thirty" "Did
| understand you madam, that your eldest
son was twenty-seven?"-"Yes. "You
must surely then, be more than thirty?,'
"Well, sir, quite snappishly.) l told you
about thirty: can't tell exactly; it may be
thlrty-one or two, but am positive it is
not over that"
Lincoln telegraph. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1836-1846, 1840-09-03

the amount of 800 tons, and he had the
verbal permission of Mr.. McIntire to run
his timber through the boom. Some
months afterwards Fairbanks gave MIR.
Mclntire a document which he calls a
bond, in his report, for $lo73,02 without
any other security than Fairbanks own
name. This anomalous bond was not paid
at maturity, and probably never will be.
Again, NJ S. Hooper trespassed to the
amount of 6l5 tons, which passed the boom
at the same time and on the same condi-
tons, as did that belonging to Fairbanks;
he refused for several months to give any
bond or notes. but finally cove bond for
$1s45 80 signed by his father as security
who has since died insolvent. N. S.
Hooper has no visible property, and in all
probability never intends to pay the bond.
Hooper and Fairbanks are neighbors
and no doubt verbally promised Mr.. McIn-
tire to sign each others bonds, who moi
having his eye-teeth cut, trusted to theil
word instead of their bond, whereby los.
hath accrued to this State, to twice the
amount of his salary.
Another lot of timber made by DAME
and William Bishop and William Daven.
port, about 100 tons, passed the boom ant
was bonded to George Giberson, of To
bique, for 300, and the names of three in
dividuals taken who are not able to pay 1
dollar.
Up to the LIST of April last, we believe
the proceeds of the great $50, 900 timber
sale, amounted to just TWENTY ONE
DOLLARS IN CASH.! Plain Dealer

Observations ON the iUhealM Of Anse-
rican Women-The Southern Literary
Messenger for February, contains an arti-
Gle as above entitled, by Harvey Lindsey,
M. D., of Washington, d. c., which is
an excellent one. The subject which
this writer SO ably treats, is of vast con-
sequence to our conntryWomen. We
make the following extract:
"The remark has often been made by
Europeans, who have visited this coun-
try-and the melancholy truth has been
confirmed by Americans who have ira
vailed on the eastern continent-that
American women suffered much more
from i'll health than those of other coun-
tries. My attention has for some time
past been particularly directed to this sub
iect, and am convinced that the remark
is undoubtedly true to an alarming extent,
and that it is the duty Of the medical
profession to examine into its causes, and
and if possible to suggest and urge upon
the public the most appropriate remedies.
'Not only is the average health of our
countrywomen much less robust than
that enjoyed by corresponding classes in
Europe, and particularly in Great Britain,
but it is much more infirm than that
of the other sex in our country mean,
after making due allowance for those dis
eases and affections peculiar to their situ-
alton and duties in society.
"With respect to their inferiority in
point of vgor, strength and robustness, to
the women of England, as we'll as of the
continent, | believe there is not one dis
senting voice among those who have en-
joyed the most ample opportunities OF
comparison, and whose attention has
been attracted to the subject. The Eu-
ropean has much more forid and health
full complexion-a much more vigorous
person and is capable of enduring much
more fatigue and exposure, and Of per-
forming much harder labor. The slend-
er, and delicate, and fragile form-the
pale, sallow and waxen complexion-
which are so common among lis, are
comparatively seldom seen abroad. The
feats of pedestrianism which are al
most daily performed in England, even
by ladies of rank and fortune, would APP
pear almost incredible to our feeble and
sedentary countrywomen.
"That the females of our country are
likewise much greater sufferers from i'll
health than our sex, is fact, which the
daily observation of medical men has a
bundant opportunity of confirming and
the class OF diseases, from which they suf-
fer most, are precisely those which we
would suppose would be produced by the
peculiar causes operating upon them.
They are arrangements of the digestive
and nervous apparatus. Every physl-
clan of much experience must have been
struck with the fearful extent and obsti-
nate nature of these affections always
