The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more American says Army circles are
somewhat agitatcd over the bill just brought
forward by Senator Ames. In 1866 Congress
passed law providing for four regiments in
the regular army, the cnlistments in which to
be opened exclusively to colored men. These
regiments were designed for service in such
portions of the Southern States, where the pc
culiar temperament of the black man enabled
him to withstand more successfully than the
white man the enervating effects of the CHI
mate. There are forty regimental orgauiza-
tons in the army, and Mr.. Ames, by his bill,
proposes to do away with the distinctive Or
ganizatiop of the four colored regiments and
throw open the whole forty to the enlistment
of men of that race.

THE CAREER OF Mrs. LYDIA SHERMAN is
somewhat extraordinary even for these days of
sensation. According to her own confession
she was born in New Brunswick, n. j., in 1925
aud was early left an orphan. At the age of
seventeen she joined the Methodist Church,
and at lovefeast met her first husband, Ed
ward S. Struck. He after time became fee
bic in mind and unable to work, so by the sug-
geston of male friend she poisoned him with
arsenic, and also the younger children, just by
way Of charity, so that they should not grow
up to ife's cares She moved to Litchfeld,
Conn, and married man named Dennis Hur
burt, they did not get on we'll together, and she
poisoned him for the sake Of peace and quiet
ness. Soon after his death Hunter n Sherman
of Derby, Conn.,, was recommended to her as
gentleman who by skilful management could be
roped into matrimony. She entered his employ.
ment as use-keeper, and finally succeeded in
marrying him. He had two small children
whom she took dislike to, and as she didn't
care to live with them she poisoned them; she
poisoned him also. Last scene of all which
ends this strange, cventful history is her cou-
viction of manslaughter for this last poisoning
and her sentence to imprisonment for life. 1t
may interest advocates of that punishment 10
place of capital to know that criminals regard it
with favor that surpasScs theirs. Mrs, Sher-
man received this sentence with the utmost in
difference, and at the close gracefully bowed
her acknowledgment 10 the Court. = Baltimore
