a Very Thin Attempt to ConcilIate the City
Marshal


Marshal.
On the 9th instant the City Marshal re-
ceived letter through the post office, bear
ing the post mark Of that date. 1t was di-
rected City Marshel of Rock Island Ills, -
in a neat and handsome handwriting. The
envelope and paper were rose tinted, water
lined, and each bore a large embossed let
ter NJ, The following is a copy of the let
ter rerbatim, ct Hteratim, d punctuatim:
Rock Island
Tusday
City Marshel
Dear Sir
to make you aquantins, but have no way
OF doing so. hope you wont think me
bold Tor ADDRESSING you this way
will not slghn my name TO this but
think you will know who it is from when |
tell you. that you was standing at tina Post
Ofhce dore this morning as | was going
THAR and just before | got to the door
you walked towards me and we past each
other | had on a black dress and cloak.
Since my brother has gon away | have
been living alone, so if you wish to come
and see me any time in tina evening or
after noon you will find me alone, and glad
to see you yours M. H.
The Marshal soon became convinced that
the letter came from the house just opened
in the brick block on Illinois street, opposite
Union Square, and between the Monitor sa-
loon and julius Mulack saloon, and believed
to be fitted up for house of prostitution.
On yesterday, taking the Assistant Mar
shall with him, they called at the house, and
the Marshal charged the female on guard
with having written the letter, which she
did not deny. He then told her that he
was in possession of enough Of her his
tory, in Chicago and Davenport, to know
what kind of a house she proposed
to keep in Rock Island, and he gave her
notice to make early arrangements to
abandon any such intentions, or he should
take measures for a vigorous enforcement
Of the law The officers then left.
The house is the property of Supervisor
krel, and the woman rented it under pre-
tense OF opening cigar store-the front
being fitted up for business purposes, and
the word Restaurant" being emblazoned
on a circular sign over the front door.
The house was, not long since, occupied
by a woman called the Cuckoo, from Day
export, but was soon cleared of its inmates.
1t bore the name Of the "Cuckcoos Nest
for sOmetime-but we hear that the pre-
sent occupant is called the Nightingale and
the place the ''Nightingale's Roost. "
IN. II. b" the writer of the letter, hired the
place by the month, but the police will
probably make her month short one. II
is singular fact that for some years past,
or since April 1872, when the house wa,
occupied by Harry Strong and Ellen
TRAINER, from Council Bluffs, there has
been bad odor connected with it, and il
is to be hoped that Mr.. Krell may be more
Ifortunatein his future tenants.

How to Save Your Eyes.

When will those working by lamp
light have the sense to understand the use
of shades to protect the eyes? We see
persons sitting holding their sewing or
other work before and near to a lamp,
while the light is blazing full into their
eyes 1t is plain that the object that they
work upon cannot be seen with so great
distinctness while the field of their retina
is already occupied by blaze. But they
work on for hours, and though the next
morning their visual organs tell of the
abuses by redness and Inflammation, the
workers are too dull to learn the lesson
of experience offered them. Circular pa
per shades can be obtained for few
cents, and these not only protect the
ewes from the excess of light, but serve as
a reflector behind the blaze, increasing
the illumination one-half Besides the
above mentioned evil, there is that of the
eve by its being suddenly and alternately
directed toward the blaze or obliquely
away from it, bv which the pupil has not
time to adapt itself to the increase of
glare; whereas, with the use of the shade,
the illumination would be uniform. The
number of persons in the community hav-
ing spots, light or dark, in their field of
vision, arising from the injury to the re-
tina by the i'll usages which we are men
tioning, is greater than is commonly i'm
agined. 1t must be borne in mind that
these spots are a serious step toward am
aurosis and putta-serena. such as plunged
in darkness the latter years of the great
Milton, and many others more eminent
for their talents than their caution.-B1,

audience room Of the Baptist Church in the
Seventh Ward Of Williamsport, Pa, on the
evening OF the 25th, participating In the
Christmas celebration, the floor gave way,
and nearly the entire assemblsge was precip-
itated to the cellar below. Fourteen were
killed and forty or fifty wounded, many Of
them seriously, some Of whom would probably
die. To add to the horrors of the situation,
the oil lamps ignited and threatened to de-
stroy all in q general confagration, but,
providentially, the flames could be reached
and were speedily extinguished. 8I
The fires in New York City on the 23d and
oath destroyed property to the value of
about 81 SOC, 900.
in the Stokes trial, on the 26th, former
employe of the Erie Railway testified that
some time before the murder, Stokes had de-
clared to him that he would shoot Fisk.
When this testimony was given, Stokes lost
control of himself and cried aloud that it
was all false.
It was estimated, on the 26th, that the
total number Of lives lost by the railroad ac-
cident at Prospect Station was thirty. One
OF the rescued, who was In the car for
twenty-five minutes after the accident, says
several were killed outright, and others

Some were conscious till burned to death.
Buffalo was suffering from unique and
alarming calamity on the seth. The current
of Niagara River had been turned backward
into Lake Erie by violent easterly wind,
and the pipes which supply water from the
river to the city were left high and dry.
This had deprived the manufactures, the
Water Works, and the railroads of their
water, and left the city helpless in
the event of fire.
The Union soldiers OF st. Louis held
meeting in that city few days ago, and
adopted a memorial to the Senate of tine
United States, praying that body to pass the
Homestead act adopted by the House on the
18th of December.
The Chicago express on the Indianapolis,
Peru & Chicago Railroad was thrown of the
track by q broken rail on the 25th, eighteen
miles from Indianapolis, and twenty persons
were injured, of whom at least three would
die.
By q snow slide near Central City, Mich, q
few days ago, eight or ten teams and team
sters were carried $50 feet across Cotton
wood Creek. Some of the teamsters were
shoveled out, but it was thought others of
them would not be found before spring.
The Memphis Bank, ]. J. Muryhy, Presi-
dent, suspended payment on the 26th, with
liabilities amounting to $4,000.

And Isabel herself, in the exercise of
"Good will" she had found "Peace on

full progress, and in the anticipation of
the good she was to accomplish, and the
