DIR. ID. Mortmore-My Dear SIR. Learning
that you design visiting various cities In the
South during the present winter, | deem it u
duty which owe TO you, and the afflicted, as

as physician, and your virtues as u social
Christian gentleman.
/, having charge OF greatly afflicted wife,
met you last summer at Bailey's Springs, Ala.
where you We're called TO treat many extreme
eases Of chronic disease. l was little disposed
to tamper with the life of my wife by subject
ing her to the medical treatment Of "A stranger;
but in her dire extremity, knowing that the
best efforts Of other eminent physicians, as also
the use OF mineral waters, had failed to give
relief, and that my own mother had recently
died Of the same malady, and hearing SO many
Of the visitors there speak in the strongest terms
in behalf Of your unequalled success i'm the
treatment of Female Diseases, was induced
to employ you in her behalf The result was
that you almost instantly relieved her extreme
suffering, and within two months restored her
to perfect health. And by so doing, have placed
me under obligations which can never repay,
but which, thank God, shall never feel it
burthen to bear.
Mrs. ID. joins me in this expression of graft
tude, and you may number us both with your
warmest advocates.

Major General Commanding.
The following answer was immedi
ately given:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 17.-Gen.
Grant will instruct Gen. Thomas that
the facts stated in his telegram do not
warrant the interference of the military
authorities. The administration of
the law and the preservation of peace
in Nashville belong properly to the
State authorities, and the duty OF the
United States forces is not to interfere
in any way in the controversy between
the political authorities of the States,
and Gen Thomas will strictly abstain
from any interference with them.

;vex Hntia sEorf 43istance from her own

lived bnt' a short INSTANCE from her own
residence, She had scarcely arrived at
the house when she discovered that the
unusual exertion was making her qnite
ill, and she resolved to return home at
once. 1t was after dark-about seven
|o'clock-but the street lamps were lit,
aud in that part of the city at such an
early evening hour there was certainly
nothing to fear ordinarily, and she pros
ceeded towards her residence without o
thought of timidity. When she had
arrived within few yards of the cor
ner of Washington and Wells streets,
she was approached by q rutiiarn
from behind, who suddenly tcau8ht
her by the neck and pulling her to
the sidewalk, choked her and struck
her, using the greatest violence, and
leaving several bruises upon her. Her
loud cries for help were immediately
heard by officer oBeebe, who ran to her
aid and seized the miserable wretch
who had assaulted the lady. The fell
low attempted to get away and strug-
gled desperately to free himself from
the strong grasp of the officer. 1t is
stated that a group of several men
stood q short distance away, none OF
them volunteered their assistance, but

hearing his wife's screams of distress,
FASTENED to the spot and held the gar
roting william while officer Beebe adj

wrist. The prisoner was then taken to
the armory and locked up for the night.
Mr.. Tenbrook escorted his wife to their
residence, but it was some hours before
she recovered from the severe fright
she had received, and she was several
days getting we'll of the bruises she had
upon different parts of her body. Tine
man arrested is known as Pat Comford,
and is known to be one of the most
bold, desperate and unprincipled thieves
that infest the city. The object OF his
assault upon the defenseless woman is
to have been robbery, and he
was arraigned at the police court upon
that charge Saturday morning. The
case was continued for one week, Com
ford being required to give bail $1,000
for his appearance.

women ~ ta
Theodore Parker, in one of his ser
mons, uttered the following remarks
touching women:
There are three classes of women.
First, domestic drudges who are Who'll
ly taken up in the material details Of
their housekeeping and childkeeping
Their housekeeping is trade, and no
more and after. they have done that,
there is no more they can do. In New
England it is a small class, getting less
every day.
Next. there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with the vain show that de-
lights the eye and ear. They are orna-
ments to the estate. Similar toys, / sup
pose. will one day be more cheaply man
ufactured at Paris, Nuremberg, at
Frankfort ON .the-Main, and other toy
shops in Europe, out of wax, papier
mache, and sold at Boston at the haber-
dasher,s by the dozen. These ask moth
ing beyond their functions as dolls,
and hate all attempts to elevate woman
kind. GrE EgEE aL ~
But there are domestic women, who
order house, and are not mere drudges,
adorn it and are not mere dolls, but wo-
men. Some of them-a great many Of
them-conjoin the useful of the drudge
and the beautiful of the doll, into one
.womaahood, and have a great deal left
besides. They arc wholly taken up with
their functions as housekeeper, wife and
mother.

Late at Church.

There is no habit more annoying to
ministers and all devoted worshippers,
than that INDUCED in by certain indi-
viduals who so late to church. The
rustling of their coming confuses the
reading, the singing, the praying and
the preaching, and is absolutely sinful
when persisted in. The pews should be
filled by the audience before the first
utterancc is heard from the pulpit.
Then every word will be impressive.
The preliminary exercises of praise and
prayer are not, as some by their conduct
seem to interpret, merely Introductory
trifles to pass the time while the people
are collecting, People, should go early
to church, or else Stay away, for ally
disturbance occasioned by entering at
an improper time is not to be compen-
stated for by tire exhibition Of the rich
est apparel ever worn for the sake of its
texture and rustic.

Women Judged by the Color of Their

The following is from marrid man,
who knows whereof he speaks: ''The
way to judge of a wOman's character at
first sight is to ascertain the color Of
her petticoat. A black petticoat indi-
Gates low spirits, hatred of washtubs
and activity, and taste for dyspeptic
literature and quietude. A black pet
ticoat could no more read and under
stand this paragraph than she could
suck up the Atlantic with n three cent
syringe. A white petticoat shows a
character just opposite--an unsullied
mind, and taste for romance. A
woman who takes naturally to white
petticoats, and never wears any other
is an institution to which young gentle
men of cOnnubial proclivities should
lose no time in paying due attention
The red petticoat, however, is some.
thing of which mankind should beware
it is the insignia of Xantippe, style o.
females who cut their toe nails with theil
. husbands razorsF 1t my all be true
as the fellow says, but the petticoa. il

and consequently we plead ignorance o

The Influence Of Newspapers.

Occasionally an individual says to us,
''times are SO hard with me, | must
stop my paper" or as in some instance,
"my wife thinks she can dispense with
the newspaper now, and l must stop"
Thus it is to stop the paper the first
thing as useless expense, without
thinking of the actual waste of money
for many things drank, eat and smoked
or chewed, which can do the system no
good, but rather harm.
The newspaper eau, or should he re-
garded as benefit to every household
1t imparts useful infOrmation; it fllrn-
ishes subjects for thought and converse
ton; it adds charm for social inter-
course; it makes agreeable members of
society. T0be without newspaper one
might as well be out of the world; he
becomes perfect nobody; when he
goes into society and hears others talk
about current events and discuss ques-
tons of local or general interest, he cap
take no part in these things because he
is not posted mot having read the papers
And in the family circle what an in.
fluence the paper has-the children read
it and gain knowledge; it serves to oc.
cupy their leisure hours, to keep them
from frivolous amusements, and gives an
attraction for home. Surely then, no
wise parent would consent to go without
newspaper in his family-and local
home newspaper too. He may think he
can get along without it, because lie is
ont in the world, and can have the read
ing of the paper from his neighbors' shop
or store, or he can learn what is going
on from others. But this is rather a
mean way. Men ought to be indepen.
dent. They ought to read for them.
selves.
If, however, they think they do not
need the paper themselves, they may rest
assured their families do. Considera-
tions like these should have their weight,
and should induce those who have
thoughts of stopping their newspapers
not to do SO, for those who have not
