Some one lost to decent respect for gram |
mar and the Anoient Romans, translates Sic
ssmper tyrdnnis as 1.-THE sick ever tyrannize'
and asserts the truth of the prcverb. Without
agreeing with that misguided person, it is easy
to see that not all the pains and penalties OF
sickness, perhaps not their chief part, are borne
by the invalid alone. The world is out Of joint
in the home where sickness reigns. Ordinary
duties are pushed aside, and hustled into cor
ners. Ordinary amusements and pleasures do
not dare to show their heads OF all this, and
OF the physical wearinees and sufferings OF the
watchers at his bedside the sick man is often
profoundly ignorant or careless. Wrapped in
the consciousness of his aching bones or fever
ed head he thinks all that health has to endure
slight in comparison; and 80 in one sense it is,
and the cares and services Of health to sickness
cannot be too ungrudgingly paid. But the NOR
al to be drawn from the contemplation of the
responsibilities, the labors, the heart-sickening
Anxieties and grief. that loving nurses endureis
to impress upon us the religious duty Of taking
care OF our bodily health for the sake Of our
neighbO1s, as well as ourselves. That man or
woman who recklessly infringes on any well I'M
derstood law of health las we constantly know
people to do and to admit the fact with q sort Of
boastfulness,) deserves not affsctionate remon-
strAnces and appeals, for the reckless ones own
sake, bat sharp reminders of such dishonest
disregard, for the welfare Of others.

Rnilrond Iron.

Our scientific reporter visited the Bat
telle Chelsea Rolling Mills yesterday, and
witnessed the manufacture of iron for
the Raleigh railroad. The hammering
and rolling were performed by powerful
machinery in a rapid manner. Every
body was busy; strong men, destitute OF
all garments except pair Of pants,
stood near the flaming furnaces, and
sent the red-hot metal down the runs to
the rollers. The mills turns out about
eight tons of iron per week at present,
bat the amount will be rapidly increased
by running night and day. Yesterday
two miles Of iron were shipped over the
Louisville road to the National Gene
terry, and track laying from the cemetery
to Raleigh will commence Immediately.
The rolling stock will be run over on
this track, and the laying of the rails in
the direction of Memphis will follow
without delay. President Donovan and
Chief Engineer Cobb are most ener-
getic, and are pushing forward persons
and things rapidly.

AK ourRAar mi rHE NAME OF law.

The question now going the roundss of
the press is: What redress has Mrs.
Lucette Myers for her false imprison'
ment injured character and deep mortl'
fication at being publicly charged with
having hand in the mysterious Good
rich murder in New York; This is in.
deed serious question when taken IN
its bearings upon society. Here was
fearful murder committed, and no clue
to the perpetrator. The detectives and
the prosecuting officers were determined
to have somebody. A poor woman
working for a paltry pittance OF four
dollars week TO support herself and
aged parents, was pounced upon as the
principal or accessory murderer, and
her name dragged through all the daily
papers in the United Statesi she
was kept in close confinement without
friends, money or retained counsel, while
the vast resources, energies and ingenuity
of her prosecutors were employed day
and night in trying to connect her some
way with the murder. But it was a to-
tai failure; she came out perfectly clear
after the most searching investigation,
and was permitted at last to return to
her accustomed drudgery, if indeed she
has the heart to work any more. AS
we'll might any wealthy citizen known to
have passed the house that night where
the tragedy took place have been ar
rested aud incarcerated But no. poor,
helpless, friendless woman was seized
and imprisoned merely that the minions
of-not justice but injustice-might ap-
pear to be doing something toward work
ing up case. Under such system no
innocent citizen is secure in his liberties
or safe from waking up in the morning a
suspected criminal on his way to a
felon's cell

ANSWER TO A ISLANDER.

DR.. d. A. Linthicum, of Helena, has
written a feeling letter to DR.. John d..
Erskine, of this city, expressing his
deep sense of modification that his
name had gone abroad through leading
papers as corrected with the murder OF
General Hindman. We published yes
terday an extract from the Helena
World indicating Dr. Linthieum from
the foul aspersions of Vaughan. Flowers,
and denouncing the latter as an unmiti-
gated personi6cation of the scoundrel,
villain aud lier. He will have the ex-
IRENE satisfaction OF an early trip to
Helena, which is the last place, except
one, that he wants to see. The
LEDGER reports have all given him
bad, worthless character, seek
ing notoriety with reckless judy
ment as to final consequences. The
other papers of the city have not i'm
proved his reputation. AS to DR.. Lin
thicum, there is the best evidence that
be was at all times a warm friend. Of
General Hindman's. Our personal ac-
quaintauce with the Doctor dates back
to an early year in the war, and was
begun and continued in camp, and
nothing we eyer saw of him there, or
that has occurred since, ever gave US
cause TO regard him aught but as high
toned gentleman of warm heart and true
principles. Where he is best known,
whether by near neighbors or army com
rades, he is most highly respected. He
was bosom friend of DR.. ]. II. Erskine
during the war, who endorses him to the
fullest extent. He is entitled, from
every consideration of justice, to the
fullest vindication from the press,
at whose hands this foul SANDER
has gone forth to the world, and to the
ears of many of the Doctors distant
friends.
