THE GOODRICH CASE.
The Murderesses Condition.
New YORK, July ID.

New YORK, July H.
Lizzie Lloyd King alias Kate Stoddard,
the murderess of Chas. Goodrich, slept
soundly in Kings county Jail last night
The leading papers were furnished her at
her request today, and she read all they
contained in reference TO her case Some
of the statements, she remarked, was in
correct, but did not particuarize them.
For time she appeared in rather melan-
choly mood, but subsequently frightened
up and appeared very cheerful.
She conyersed some time with Fanny
Hyde, the murderess of Watson, whom
she considerably resembles. They spend
the greater part of their time in each
others company, The excitement in the
community over the case is undated, and
is a subject of conversation in every house
and upon every corner this morning Miss
Kings effects, with a number of letters,
and articles of the deceased found In her
possession, were sent to the Jail. The
watch, pocket-book rings, notes, ETC.,
were handed over to the District Attorney,
and will be used as evidence on the trial.
The trial, however, will not take place
within three months, as it will bo Septem-
Der before the next grand jury will be en-
panelled.
Miss Palm, the affianced of Goodrich, had
a long interview with the murderess to-
day.
Miss Handley is still in search of Ros-
coe, as is also Lucette Meyers

Rev. VIM. E. Munser. d. D.

To the Editor of the Nashville Banner:
have lately seen articles in the
newspapers in reference to this emf
nent divine, about which | desire TO
say few words, through the medium
of the Banner. t 'tssf a.s.
DR.. Munsey's present condition mer-
its sympathy rather than censure.
OF humble origin, he was denied the
advantages of early education, and af-
ter reaching his majority, feeling that
he was called to preach, he applied
himself TO unremitting study, and en-
deavored to make up what he had lost
so as to suitably prepare for his work
With feeble body, and large, active
brain, nature could not bear the bur-
den imposed on her, andssoon his natu-
rally weak constitution gave way and
he became a physical wreck, and while
the admiring thousands were being
electrified by the burning eloquence
which fell from his lips, it was evident
to his friends that his life was rapidly
wasting away. ef ar1i eH
His physicians sustained him with
opiates and stimulants, but in vain, for
soon an attack Of paralysis caused him
to desist from his pulpit labors. He
is now partially insane--is without
home or means of subsistence, and is
perfect wreck, both in mind and
body. From what / can learn, he is
now and then found under the influence
of intoxicating liquors, but he is not
drunkard- In his present condition
he uses opiates and stimulants to ease
the pain which racks his body until
existence is barely tolerable.
Under such deplorable circum-
stances, / question the taste displayed
in holding him up to the view of gos-
sip-loving world as a fallen minister.
Christian charity should cover his
faults, and sympathy for the unfortu-
nate should silence the tongue of SIAN
der.
A few years ago, / well remember
that no building in this city would
hold the thousands who fOcked to hear
him preach. Now he is paralytic--a
homeless and houseless wanderer, with
neither money, clothing or provisions
his once towering intellect partially
dethroned. Oh, Slanderer, withhold
thy putrid tongue, and do not hold him
up target for the shots of over-righte-
Gus Pharisees. CHARITY.

fore the members of the Franklin In
stitute of Pennsylvania, February q,

The engineer, noting the curious
things in bronze and in copper exumed
at Pompeii, and gathered together in
the Museo BorbOnico at Naples, will
linger near a small vessel for heating
water little more than foot high and
in which are combined nearly all the
principles involved in the modern YER
teal steam boiler-6re box, smoke iue
through the top, and fre-door at the
side all complete; and strange to say,
this little thing has water crate made
of small tubes crossing the. fire box at
the bottom, an idea that has been pat
ented twenty times over, in one shape
or other, within the period of the his
tory of the steam engine.

Printers and Printing.

The late j. T. Buckingham, in his
"reminiscences, published about twen-
ty years ago in the Boston Courier,
speaks Of the Importance Of printers
to authors, in the following terms:
MANY who condeseend to illumi-
nate the dark world with fire Of their
genius, through the columns Of n
newspaper, little think Of the lot of
the printer, who almost suffocated by
the smoke of lamp, sits up till mid
night to correct their false grammer,
bad photography and worse punctua-
ton. / have seen the arguments Of
lawyers in high repute as scholars
sent to the printer in their own hand
writing, with many words, and. espee-
tally technical and foreign terms, abre-
waited, words misspelled, and few or
no points.
Il have seen the sermons Of divines
sent to the printer without points or
caDitals to designate the division of
sentenees-sermonsw which, Unpublished
with the imperfectiOns Of the manu-
script, would disgrace the printers
devil if he were the author. Suppose
they had been printed (; the printer
would have been treated with seOrn
and contempt, as an illiterate block
head-as u fellow better fitted 10 be a
wood sawyer than u professor Of the
art of printing. Nobody would have
believed that such gross and palpable
faults were owing to the ignorance and
carelessness of the author. And no
body but the practical printer knows

Origin of the Fever in Memphis.

DR.. Blackburn, in charge of the
Walthal Infrmary, writes to the Louis
vile Courier Journal in regard to the
origin of the yellow-fever in Memphis,
as follows:
You will see from your exchanges
that the committee of investigations
to ascertain the origin of the disease
at Shreveport have unanimously re-
ported that the fever was brought
from Mexico to Shreveport by circus
company, distributing the poison on
its track through Texas. As to its
origin in Memphis, its path is so plain
and patent that all can trace it. The
towboat, Bee, came from Shreveport
to this port; the captain (Culis) died
when a few miles above Memphis /; his
body was brought back. One of the
crew of the boat came ashore with
fever, and asked the privilege of en-

Irishman named Riley. Riley, true to
the instincts of his race, ever ready to
protect and defend the weak, to aid the
needy or suecor the sick, invited him
to enter his abode. The sailor lived
but few hours. The generous Riley
soon sickened and died; one after
another of his family was stricken
down, until all were taken by this
rapacious monster. From this tene-

aud huge proportions. Captain John
Shirley also came from Shreveport.
He and his wife both died. So did
Mr.. Wheaton and his son. Here are
three unmistakable channels by which
the disease entered Memphis. Yet,
