In your June number a communication

troubled more than others with lice; l
don't think ever saw them worse than

eggs BY the hens being driven from their
nests by lice-also lost two hens from the
same cause. have tried almost every
thing. and failed, until it occurred to me
70 use tobacco stems mixed with little
hay. and to test it more thoroughly, !
removed hen that was literally covered
with lice. and in few days would have
had to run. l cleaned the eggs and put
her infa fresh box, and to-day, June l4th,
I can positively assert that she came of
clean, with several fine Partridge Cochins
and not louise could l see on removing
her from the box. l have put tobacco
stems in all my laying places, and am
so much pleased with the experiments and
results so far, that / should like to hear
that some of our fanciers or breeders,

To the Editor Of the Ledger

To the Editor Of the Ledger
After reading your paper for the past
three months and observing how we'll
taken and ably sustained we're all your
positions upon questions of local and
political interest, / was greatly surprised
a tyour article headed Legal Nonsense"
and beg leave 10 suggest that in this
instance you have sought to reflect upon
one of the noblest of scieneeE. And
first let it be noted that you g~eneralize
from one particular case, which is con.
trary to tie FIRST principles Of logic and
to the dictates OF common sense. But
we're a single case sufficient, the one
from which yeu generslize does not
Justify your remarks. The liberty OF
the citizen was not uDjustly threatened
in due course of law, but, according to
Vour " statement of the case, by an
irregulsrity and misunderstanding, Il
appearing that Judge Hslsey was incor-
rectly informed and was under the i'm
preston that Judge Ray had Hpally dis.
posed Of the warrant and mittimns of
Esquire Winters, when such was not the
case. The trouble was not caused by
any legal technicality, neither was il
owing, as you charge, ITO a legal sub
tility, a fiction Of law and fact" but las
you Immediately afterward, inconsist-
emily, but with more truth, ASSERT TO
an incorrect order or one not carefully
tcritteR." Be il noticed that there is no
mention Of legal ir%regnlarity, bit . mere
Misunderstanding Of the facts.
The law is a perfect science. For
every step to be taken it assigns good
and sufficient reasons, and the better
versed one is in the law the more wis
dom he discovers in every principle.
And seeing the why and the wherefore
for every provision IL the lswis far from
discovering, as is asserted, hat legal
technicality " is about the most laGgha.
BILE thing in the world" The Law, like
every other science designed for noble
purposes, is abused by unworthy practi
TONERS and disappointed aspirants. Al
well might exception be taken to the
science OF mathematics because some
dullard maintains that two and two make
FIVE, or because OF an error or oversight
in a lengthy calculation, as to the
science of law, because Of a mistake il
the statement Of a case. The best law
yers and judges, like the best physicians
in administering relief, be their inten
tons ever SO good are liable to make
mistakes.
Nothing need be said in support and
vindicstion Of a science Of which il hal
long been granted that it employs il
its theory the noblest faculties Of th,
soul, and exerts in its practice the car
dinal virtues Of the heart" SESEx.

Town Clock.

A Town Clock.
MEMPHIS, September II. 1875.
To the Editor Of the Ledger;
am gratifed at the interest you man
fest in everything that concerns the
good of our people. l see you are a
great advocate for a town clock. The
question is often asked, why has not
Memphis, with a population of sixty
thousand, a public clock? 1t is a sin
aud shame that we can not show one.
What have our people been doing these
many years? Every man, woman and
child in the city is interested in having
a clock that will mark correctly the time,
and thus promote promptness and
punctuality in our people. Our time
now varies from five to twenty minutes.
If we will put our hearts in the under.
taking we will succeed; but to do so, we
must have a head, a mar of brains, and
energy to work up the affair.
Now | publicly nominate our old friend
Captain Joseph Lenow, whom every one
in the city knows, as the best years of
his life have been spentin our midst, and
select him as a clear headed and success
full business man, to inaugurate the great
undertaking. He must not, viii not de-
cline the position. He must 90 out
among our people and solicit sufficient
contributions as will insure US a hand
some town clock within six months. His
well known energy will accomplish the
task. He knows no such word as fail. F"
Do this, Captain L,now, and our people
will ever revere your memory and point
to that clock with pride and give you the
praise.
Will you not, dear LEDGER, and you,
editors Of Appeal and Avalanche, lend
a helping hand in securing the services
of Captain Lenow and getting our peo-
pie 10 contribute literally to purchase
and put up q clock that will be an orna-
ment to our city2 1t seems to me that
Odd Fellows building, being in the cen
ter of the city, would be the best place
for the clock, aud besides it is thought
the fraternity Of Odd Fellows would con-
tribute literally to its erection if placed
on their building, But that question
could be settled in the future by the con-
tributors. Let US have the town clock,
and let it be in the center of the city,
would be the wishes Of our best citizens.

NEW YORK.


New YoRK, September IA dispatch
from Paris states that a formal confer
ence Of the Bonapartist party at Arena
berg has been abandoned. The cause
assigned is that popular excitement is
so threatening it was considered more
prudent to remain quiet for the present.
The Bonapartist organs and leaders pre-
serve the strictest silence in regard to
the affair. The government is closely
watching the movements OF the Bona
partists, and is prepared to act with
vigor should circumstances require it.
A special from Leiguitz says Quarter
master Meigs, with his son and Lieut..
Newcomb, Colonel Dickinson, Woodruff,
Delaney, Floyd aud Jones, of the
United States army, yesterday witnessed
the autumn maneuvers of the German
army, which we're upon q grand scale.
Sergeant Edward Shaw, of the Scot
land Yard police, London, has arrived
here to testify in the case of Lawrence,
who is awaiting trial in Ludlow street
Jail on the charges of forgery and de.
frauding the United States government.
The detectives declare that the combina-
ton Of which Lawrence was an agent is
very powerful and has defrauded the
government out of large sums. Its ope-
rations are believed to be checked for a
time, if not wholly broken up, and it is
asserted that this silk smuggling ring in
cludes some houses of high standing in
this city.
