hurried to the drug store of Frank
Squares Il Co, under the Grand
Pacific Hotel. She ordered a COM
pound OF camphOr and laudanum,
ostensibly for neuralgia. The clerk
informed her it would take about ten
minutes to make it, whereupon she
took carriage and drove to two other
drug stores. She was followed by Mr..
Squares, who in each case prevented
the druggists from giving her the
compound. She finally returned to
the first place and procured a mixture
which she supposed was what she
wanted, but what was harmless. She
drank this as she left the store As it
had no effect, she trid to leave her

was prevented. She was removed to Il

Our good looking country friend
Mr.. MurrilI, OF the Hickory Press.
tl.as gives IN his pleasant experiences
Of the Press doings IN our city:
Tuesday was spent III convention
and 1t night we listened - thatincom-
parable Vance IN a most happy dellv-
e5v OF that splendid lecture on the
'sScattered NutI.D.' We have heard
much said III praise OF this effort OF
Gov. Vance, but none. not even the
Jewish Rabbi, OF Baltimore, with all he
had heard, and all that his national
vanity imagined, has ever been other
wise than pleasantly surprised at the
ricn treat which the lecturer and its
delivery always affords to these who
hear 1t. 1t is universally arplauded
and endorsed by both jew aud Gen
tile and we doubt not u will eAcJ
much tOwar Is the removal of those
barriers which now divide them. After
the close, whine others pressed for
ward to shake hands with the Orator,
we felt constrained 10 shake hands
with the Jews ana did SO.
Wednesday we (about 500 of u.s.
"excurted" down the river and out to
sea. We had lemonade and music,
ana wine and talking, aud champagne
and almost anything you could cali tor
to drink or to eat, and strange az it
may seem to the lncredulous, il all
that crowd, continuing about forty
editions, only two got sick and sacrI-
feed their breakfast to the unyielding
demands of the briny pillows.
Thursday finished up the work of
the Convention; visited the Produce

ter; attended the Grand Ball at the
Opera House, fell i'll love with the
pretty girls; remained too late, came
off reIunctantly. took our leave next
morning for home. In orr ''inter-
course with tie brethren" we have had
season of real enjoyment Many OF
them whose papers We read weekly,
were still strangers to us in the flesh.
Now that We have seen them face to
face, and know what manner of men
they are, we shall read their produc-
tions as letters from acQualntanc9s and
friends, and, what is still more .,d-
vartageous, we will know aChjch ones
to DGtch itttu lCjth SAFETY.
Besides the brethren we made other
pleasant acquaintances, and Of some
dis ipguished characters. Among the

A Refence OF Louisiana.

Bishop Wilmer, of Louisiana, has
published pamphlet entitled "A De-
fence of Louisiana" In this PAM
phlet the Bishop attributes ali the
mlserIes of Louisiana since the war to
the influx Of carpet brggers, and the
support accorded them by the admin
istration at Washington. Speaking OF
this support, granted, by the admins
tratlOn III answer to appeals for pro
tection," Bishop Wilmer. with the
eloquence OF Indignation, eXclaims:
Behold them (tAe carpet baggers)
ostracised from their homes-tO be-
come representatives, III the legisla-
tufe; pilgrims and Wanderers-tra
versIng the judicial circuits, guilhly
and leisurly. to administer Justice;
driven by the sharp edge of persecu
tion-to occupy lordly mansions and
sit down at sumptlOus tables, vino had
never riches, some of them never
homes before. Protection Is granted
from this great wrong-ErOt" ctIon for
scorpions VINO have stolen the doves
pest, that they shall not be oh iged to
listen to the plalntlve cries Of the
mother bereft of their youHg-pro
lection for the soft slumbers Of the
wolf, gorged with his prey, that he
shall not be disturbed by the bleating
of the sheep fold upon the midnight
air."
Tie eminent prelate, from whom
comes this eloquent burst of righte-
Gus and Christian indignation Is ma
i've of Virginia, and cousin of the
great divine, Bishop Richard Wilmer,
of Alabama, also a son of this grand
old mother of great men. By the way,
good thing is related of the latter
clergyman, who is celebrated as a
great wit, as well as the theologian.
Being on a visit to the North soon af-
ter the war, to solicit aid of the Epis-
coeal churches there to rebuild
church edifices that had been destroy
