MITTEE.
Judge HUMPHREYS, of the District Supreme
Court, has written as follows to the Con-
gressfonal committee investigating the
charges preferred against him by Mr.. r. ID.
Mussey, an attorney of this city: II have
been on the bench here for tive years and
over. came here In 1870 under an appoint.
ment which did not seek, but 1t was ten
dered and accepted, and don't expect to
go back In any way, shape or form upon
tics since came upon the bench; / have
shown no partiality. but have endeayored
fairly and honestly to administer Justice to
ali who came before me. The committee
1t In tangible form those matters which have
been heretofore mere squibs put into the
newspapers from time to time. All that 1
can ask now from the committee will be
that when the time is fixed for the hearing
or the charges they will require them to be
more definite and specific. There is, as far
as am aware, only one tntimation In the
charges that would appear to affect the
character OF judge, and that is an intima
tlon, without any specific charge, that sat
In case-at least one-in which was pc
cunfartly interested; and this ascertained
from the Introduction of the papers by some
one signing himself Mussey, who pretended
10 De, and Is, suppose, member of the bar
ed, SO far as know, and treated with every
consideration In every case by the court.
But think 1t is due to the people that there
should be upon that item specification of
the case or cases in which 1 sat and In which
l was interested. This Is due also to myself
for really If have any pecuniary interest In
any such cases 1t is entirely unknown to
me-"
The chairman OF the committee, Hon. VIM.
w. Warren, has informed Judge HUMPHREYS
that the committee will probably hold ses-
sion on Saturday to inquire nto the merits
OF the case.

upon the body OF young woman named
May Blackwell, who died there on Wednes-

premature birth TO q dead infant. The ex-
animation, however, developed nothing
leading to belief that the deceased came to
her death from other than natural causes
She was native of Deerfield, Cumberland

How TO CURE THE CHILLs.-The follow
Ing receipt for curing fever and ague, and
the reason for its ADMINISTRATION in that form
rs given by the Journal of Health: To cure
fever and ague take twelve grains of qui-
nine at one dose about an hour before the
chills is expected. Just one week from that
hour take another twelve grains of quinine.
The disease will seldom return. This Is the
dose for an adult. Children should take
smaller doses according 10 age. sTne reason
that decided doses of Quinine cure fever and
ague seems to be that the disease receives a
shock which breaks IL. Small doses of qui-
nine only hold 1t In check during the time
the medicine is being taken; as soon as IL is
Hence the popular notion that the quinine
only "feedS" the disease. The fault Is not
with the medicine, but in the manner OF ad-
ministering IL. While we do not believe in
encouraging the employment of medicine,
We are bound TO say that quinine, periodical
Iy adm Mustered, has proved the only "dead-
shot" for fever ague In our practice.
