The fair, green hills rise proudly up
To cOnsecrate their fame.

The record bright shall bear
Who came up at the battle sound
And fought for freedom there.
They even say that farmers went
forth to do battle for freedom with axes
and scythes.
The celebration of the battle was in
I776 with Noah Smith, afterward Judge
of the supreme court and grand master
of the Masons, as orator.
The grave of Col. Nathaniel Bush,
who commanded the Bennington militia
is unmarked and unknown.

New YORK, April IL Through the

returning from the South where they had

Selma, Marion and Memphis railroad,
and the Ohio and Toledo railroad, and
several sheets Of Santa Domingo cur

VIII Contests.

New YoRK, April 1.-THE general
term Of the Supreme Court has just de.
livered an elaborate opinion deciding
that the surrogate cannot allow costs to
a defeated party in will contests. The
practice Of allowing costs, the opinion
declares, virtually offers a bride 10 the
reckless contestants and their counsel to
prevent the settlement Of estates by pro.
noting litigation and eu%gandering strife
when every interest Of the public calls
for their speedy adjustment. II might
lead to great abuses and to the injury Of
the widows, orphans and creditors Of the
deceased persons, and whom all courts
should be sedulous TO protect. II would
be q hazardous experiment for wealthy
man 10 attempt to dispose Of his estate
BY his own will il it could be distributed
at the mere will Of the Surrogate among
the counsel and Of all who choose TO set
up whatever pretenee Of contest the in
genuity Of avarice can advise.

THE PROPOSED MONUMENTAL PARK.
Elsewhere appears a summary of
the proceedings Of the Confederate
Relief and Historical Association
at a meeting held last night. The
committee on monument made a
highly interesting report at some
length. 1t is proposed now to
abandon the idea of AN elaborate
and costly Confederate monument
at Elmwood Cemetery and erect,
after the fashion Of the ancient
Greeks and Romans, a forum, to be
located on the vacant space in front
of the city, either north or south Of
the site for a custom-hOusc. We
learn that the Chickasaw Guards
have obtained permission from the
to inclose and use the ground
south of the proposed custom-house
as a battle-ground. The space front.
ing on West Court street would
perhaps answer as well, and thus
in time all the front from JEFF
street to Union would
be improved, so as to present an
attractive and imposing appearance,
instead of unsightly bluffs. The
idea of a forum set off by one or
more colossal figures in gray gran
or bronze, does credit to the
spirit of the committee and
the aesthetic and classical taste of
the architect, Mr.. Cook, who drew
the design. 1t blends beauty, SEN
timent and utility most charmingly.
To carry out the design will require
considerable funds, but we are sat-
isfied the necessary amount can be
raised. Those who have faith in
the future Of Memphis are not
afraid to contribute their means to
beautify and adorn the public
grounds, and make the place, as
designed by nature, the abode of
refinement, culture and generous
impulses. In addition to thu. fouu-
tain which adorns our gem Of a
square, let us add another feature
which strangers from afar will seek.
and to which our children may
point with pride. In carrying out
the idea it is not necessary to re-
move the foundation or abandon
the plan of the monument at Elm
wood. A broken column or a mas.
slye cross of granite would suitably
adorn the pedestal already erected.
This could be done at a compare
lively small cost. 1t remains to be
seen whether the city will allow
the use Of the ground as proposed,
and what further action will be
taken at the meeting Of the asso-
citation next Tuesday night, when
there will doubtless be /. full atten.

- THEIR CI USE,
AND CURE.

Bilious headaches are caused by
the blood being overcharged with Car
bonaceous matter. 1t is commonly
called "thick," and impure" There
is too little waste, or effete matter
thrown off from the system, compared
to the nutriment taken into it. The
system may be likened to stove.
Abundance of fuel has been intro
euced, and burning down the drafts
become clogged with ashes and Gin
ders, and the fire burns only feebly.
1t must be cleansed, then the fire will
burn again. So with the system when
it becomes clogged. 1t must be
cleansed. Some headaches are nerv-
ous-i e. the nerves are irritated and
weakened. They need q nerve medi-
cine, but nerve medicine will not
act when the system is clogged. DR..
Fenner's Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic both cleanses the
system and builds up the nerves and
so cures all those diseases by removing
the cause.
1t causes the liver to throw off its
bile. 1t cleanses out the entire Ali
mentary Canal and rids it of worms
and other vermin that inhabit an un-
healthy stomach and bowels.
1t completely cleanses and purifies
the blood, and at the same time
strengthens and heals the Stomach,
Nervous System, Heart, Lungs, Kid
neys and all other tissues.
DIR. Fenner can cure any headache
in 8 to 10 minutes with his Golden
Relief, but the Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic prevents
their coming on again by removing
the cause.

A Good Disinfectant.

One pound of green copperas,
Dissolved in one quart of water and
poured down a water-closet, will effec-
tually concentrate and destroy the
fOulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels and other
public places, there is nothing so nice
to purify the air. Simple green cop
peras, dissolved in anything under the
bed, will render hospital or other
place for sick free from unpleasant
smells. In fish-markets, slaughter
houses, sinks and wherever there are
offensive gasses, dissolve copperas and
sprinkle it about and in few days the
smell will pass away. If a cat, rat OF
mouse dies about the house and sends
forth an offensive gas, place some dis
solved copperas in an open vessel neal
the place where the nuisance is and il
will purify the atmosphere.
