UWe regret to announce the death of
Daniel c. Denham, Esq, which took place
Thursday morning. For many years past
with the exception of a year or two, Mr..
Denham has been clerk of the Court Of
Common Pleas in this County, and men,
Der of the Court Of Justices, in which ca
paci,ies he was a correct and efficient off,
Ger. Through life he sustained an ire
proachable character rs an honest, consci-
entious man and an earnest and devoted
Christian. He has been suddenly called
from all that was dear to him on earth, and
has passed to that new and better world
where the faithful and earnest soldiers Of
the Cross will all be ultimately gathered.
We have known Mr.. Denham through
long series OF years, and we feel that we
speak but the simple truth, which will be
cheerfully acknowledged by the whole
community, when we pay this brief tribute
Of respect to his memory.

CRUsADERs.-These were expeditions
for the recovery of the Holy Land from the
Mahometans. The rage for conquering
the Holy Land continued for nearly two
centuries, and gave rise to six different
crusades. This excitement was kindled to
flame by the pilgrims who visited the
holy sepulchre, at Jerusalem, by recount
ing, on their return, the outrages of the in-
fdeis, who were masters Of that city. The
first crusade was undertaken in 1896.
Among the prominent leaders Of the
crusade was a monk called Peter the Her.
init, who reused public indignation, by por-
traying in colors bold and strong The indig-
mites practiced by the infdels, exciting
kings and nations to unite their efforts in
waging war against them. He carried
crucihx in his hand and all who joined the
expedition wore cross upon the right
shoulder, from the name Crusade or Cru
isado.
Persons Of all ranks few TO arms, burn
ing with ardor and eItermina,ing venge-
ancc. All Europe seemed arrayed in So
emn phaanx, ready to enter the bloody
arena of war, and delugc Asia with armies.
Peter the Hermit and Walter the Money
less, led on about 100000 Of this undiscip-
ined multitude. Only 10000 of this i'm
mense division of the grand army arrived at
the borders Of Asia, and these soon perish
ed by famine and the sword. The armies
that were moro disciplined, and were led on
by noblemen, princes and able generals, ar
rived at their place Of destination, and mus
tered 100000 horsemen .and 100000 foot.
They took Jerusalem by assault, putting
all its inhabitants to the sword, sparing
neither age or sex Notwithstanding this
victory, most Of this army met an untimely
crave in Asia, and the few that returned
carried with them the pestilencc, leprosy,
and smallpox. A second crusade was un-
dertaken in HAS, by Lewis VII, Of France;
a third by Richard l., Of England, in 1870;
a fourth by Phillip H., Of France, in 1904;
a fifth BY Lewis TX, Of France, against
Egypt, in i24s, and the si,th, by the same

SPECIFIC FOR YELLOW FEvER.-Dr. p.
Ii. Wildman, Of Savannah, thinks he has
discovered specific for the Yellow fever.
The following is his account Of his treat
ment, published in the Savannah Georgian:
Messrs. Editors-Gentleme ! notice
in your paper of this morning an allusion
to "Aluriated Tincture of Iron," as a REM
edy in cases of "Yellow Fever"
Several reasons which ] cannot now
enumerute, have prevented me from hither-
to giving this remedy publicity through the
columns of the city papers. Feeling, how
ever, that it is my "duty to place this new
mode of treatment before the public" beg
to publish the following facts in connection
with it.
|. have treated over one hundred and
fifty cases of Yellow fever since 2lst ut.,
and of that number not one has died who
commenced this remedy prior to "black
vomit." And
2. Since 2lst ult., 1 hare not admins
tered fire doses Of any other medicine.
| give the Tincture in doses varying
from 90 TO 60 drops every tDo (2) hours
in a tablespoonful Of water for adults AM
smaller doses for children. The prepara-
ton of Iron acts by medicating the blood
and exerting its styptic qualities upon the
coats Of the stomach.
would respectfully call the attention of
the medical profession to this preparation
of Iron, as an invaluable remedy in yellow
fever.

The Liqnor Drugging in the Ne~
Hampshire Leg .slature-An Explanation
at Last. A correspondent of the Manches-
ter Democrat, writing from BrookfeId, re-
pels the charge that the member from that
town, a. it was rumored, was one Of those
whose liquor was drugged during the late
session of the legislature, by some Of the
coalition AZ the New Hampshire Patriot
preposterously asserted. All the drug
ging' business, it appears, was done, not
by an opponent, but through the careless
ness Of political friend Of the worthy MEM
Der from Brook6eld, and happened in this
wise:
At Gass's, the headquarters Of the "un-
terrified" there is a small back room where
certain good things are kept on shelves,
together with the necessary accompani-
ments of sugar-bowls and tumbers. MIR.
Uri Lamprey, for some time past an agent
af the New York Guano Company, tarried
for several weeks Of the session at Con-
cord and had with him several choice sam
pies OF pulvcrizcd guaDo, which he kept in
bowls, and on favorable occasions exhibit
ed them to his friends among members =
One evening, being hastily called out, he
incautiously set away his pulverized sam
pies on the same shelf with tho sugar
bowls.
Shortly after, some Of the members wish
ing to strengthen the inner man, went in
to the closet which was not yet lighted up,
and having used the decaniers, took also
very freely Of the speetening from the qua
no bowls. !. Shortly afisr drinking, the fer
niiring effect Of the 'swee,ening' manifest
cd itself in no very agreeable way. The
drugged members were eventually used rp
for the time being, and the inventive genius
of Butterfield, seizing upon the incident,
proclaimed II trick of the majority played
Oft at the expense of she liquor-loving dem.
ocrais Of the House.

DEATH OF Mrs. BENToN.-The Nation
al lntelligencer contains the following
obituary. y.noticef fof Mrs. Elizabeth Benton,
which took place at Washington last Sun
day evening during her husbands absence
at the White Sulphur Springs
Mrs. Benton's protracted illness of seve
raj years, which from the first was known
to be beyond remedy, was born with pa
tience and propriety of demeanor that
proves how the noble faculties and affec-
tons may survive the wreck of the mortal
frame. Deprived Of Inference, of all her
energies, Mrs. Benton still preserved the
bearing of one whose mind would not al
low the most prostrating affliction to over
throw the fine character it had formed
No part Of it gave way under the long trial
to which it was subjected. The simplicity
Of manners, the domestic and social virtues,
the generous, high toned, we'll regulated
feelings, the religious faith, severe to her
self, liberal to all the rest of the world, in
which she was nurtured in her fathers
house and among the Virginia Puritans of
Rockbridge, stood the test of thirty years,
spent amidst the fashionable life of WASH
ton and the prejudices Of its political strife
without reproach. Her exalted character
bore the more trying sordeol Of a malady
which conquers the will and often breaks
down the nobler traits of the most happily
constituted natures. The ruling feeling in
Mrs. Benton's heart and strongest to the
last, was her devotion to her husband. OF
late she has sat constantly by his side
when at his labors at home, and indeed
their lives may have been said to have been
inseparable, for she has made her home
wherever his business called him. She
was reconcied to part with him OH his late
return to Missouri, because she was too
weak to accompany him, and knew that his
duty required his presence at his home
When she felt the approach of the crisis
which terminated her life, she led her
daughter to the vacant chair in which her
husband worked, and, by looks and gestures,
made it apparent that she required his re-
recall. 1t was too late. She walked to
the bed in the next apartment, from which
she was never able to rise again.

The late storm at Savannah damaged the
rice fields in fearful manner, and fears
are entertained for a sufficiency Of rice TO-
obtain seed. The city was greatly mar
r.d in its appearance. OF the hundreds OF
beautiful trees that ornamented the squares

been blown down, and those standing have
been stripped of their branches and leaves.
It was almost impossible to get through tho

were the streets blocked up.
