DIR. MARY WALKER DYING.
Something About This Curious
WOman's Curious History.
Washington Post, April 10 ]

Washington Post, April 10.
A face almost as palled as the white
pillow which 1t pressed looked up from
DIR Wary Walkers bed in the PrOvi.
dence Hospital yesterday, and faint,
weary voice responded to the inquiry
OF q Post reporter as to the condition oil
her health. 1t needed but a glance 81
the almost transparent hand thai
stretched its emaciated fingers to greet
him, and at the CHASTITY face whose
blOOdless lips were too weak to smile
to warrant the conclusion that the
little Doctor was near the end of hel
trials and trOubles-near tfe Great
White Throne which many, probably
less honest and tired than she, have
enjoyed after life's fitful fever
What's the matter, Doctor, pneuInO-
mia? asked the reporter.
NO, tobacco was the faint reply.
what do the doctors say about you?
Tobacco. They say nothing, dc
nothing, breathe nothing but tobacco.
/ have so long had to breathe tobacco
smoke and tobacco odOr wherever
have been that my lungs are filled
with tuberces, tobacco planted and
tobacco poisoned. Then l got a cold
and feel weak The weary voice and
the anxious look on the face told
plainly how weak.
1t is very probable that this notable
woman is rapidly drawing near her
end, and, unless all medical predictions
prove false, she will in few days be
where unkind sayings and thOughtless
pen-thrusts will have no powerto give
her pain.
The subject of this sketch has acquir-
ed almost national reputation, and YET
the circumstance connected with heI
checkered career are known to CON-
paratively few persons. DIR. Mary
Walker was born about the year 1890,
In Oswego, New York. Her parents
were the best of people, who looked
upon their daughter not as q wayward,
but as peculiar girl. Mary was 8
superior scnOlar, and made good use oil
the few opportunities afforded her.
She is regular graduate in medicine,
although many have believed that
medically she is impostor. Quite early
in life she married q DIR. Miller, but
the match was an unfortunate one,
She detested alcohol la all lis forms,
while he was fond Oft, and besides she
believed that he Was not true to her.
About twelve years ago she tried tC
obtain divorce, but he successfully
resisted and defeated her on the ground
that he had always been ready and
willing to live with her, but that she
deserted him without cause. When
the war broke out Mary esp0used the
side Of her sectian with her whole soul
At one time she had charge of United
States hospital i'm either Kentucky or
Teunesser. She WAS captured and con.
fined in Libby Prison four months
The Coafederates believed her to be q
spy and treated her harshly,
but her unbending will never
yielded. When they learned her true
status in the United States army, shs
Was liberated. She came to Washing
ton ct the fall OF Richmond. OF hel
personal ecconiricities, Mary Walker !:
known particularly for the astonishing
tenacity she has exhibited upon the
subject Of dress. 1t nlAy be that she d

partially insane, but no person ever
lived that had purer or kinder heart.
At the time of the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt the Doctor made repeated and
successful efforts to witness the scene,
This curiosity may or may not have
arisen from q morbid desire to see q
the death penalty, but it is nevertheless
stain upon her otherwise fair reputa-
ton.

How Democratic brethren do agree! The
Enquirer blows to the world that Frank Hurd
was the Congressman who borrowed $4,000
of public money from Sergeant t-at-Arms John
G. Thompson, and it demands an investiga-
tion of Thonpson's accounts, and the reason
of this is that Thompson is Thurman's hench-
man, and is laying the wires to make him the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency.

AMERICAN ENTERPRIsE.-The fact
that Ex-Governor Washburn will
not only re-erect his lately destroyed
Touring mill, at Minneapolis, in a
better form than before, but that it
is to contain machinery equivalent
to sixty-six run of stone, thus rem
dering it the largest mill in Christ
endom, is subject worthy Of note.
Previously the largest Touring mill
in the world, was in France-a
country where wheat has been cul-
tivated with great perfection for
more than 1900 years, and now a
state in the northwestern portion of
our Union, where forty years ago a
bushel OF wheat was not grown, is
to possess mill which will be one
otthe wonders of modern commerce;
not merely because of the gigantic
proportions of the structure, but be-
cause it turns out flour, the quail
ity of which is not equaled in the
great bread eating countries of
Europe Wisconsin.

and clerks out of material that ma
ture intended for blacksmiths, brick

honest 'hewers of wood and draw

big one, to teach boys and girls that
to labor is disgraceful and to do
nothing for living is more bscom-
ing the society in which they hope
to move and be respected. Hang
such society," 1t is rotten to the
core to-day, and there are many
mems sons and daughters who are
now being educated to play the
part of ''leading lady" and "walking

life who will come to poorhouse
or penitentiary before they have
played their parts and the curtain
drops. Go to work.

APPROPRIATION FOR THE CHIPPK-
wA.-In looking over the list of ap-
preparations, We find an appropria-
tion sufficient for the "examination
of the st. Croix river in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, and OF the Chippewa
and Wisconsin rivers in the state of
Wisconsin, to determine the practi-
cability and cost of creating and
maintaining reservoirs upon the
head waters of said rivers and their
tributaries for the purpose of regu-
lating the volume of water and i'm
proving the navigation of said riv-
ers, and that ofthe Mississippi river,
and an estimate of the damage to
result therefrom to property of any
kind"
Gov. Pound writes us that the
amount was the same as that recon-
mended by the engineers; that the
work will be immediatly commenc-
cd; that as soon as the engineers s
report is received, a supplemental
appropriation bill will be introduced;
and that the chances of success are
very encouraging. He has worked
untiringly in this matter, and we are
confident that much good will come
of it Chippe'oa Herald.

lMPEACHING A JUDGE.-"Behold
what a great fire a little matter
kindleth.' One Bailey, an attorney
at Eau Claire in the eighth district,
run against Judge Barron for Judge
at the last Judicial election in the
eleventh circ uit. lie canvassed the
circuit for weeks, aud went into the
circuit to claim a residence three
days before the election, and on the
morning after election went out of
it, back to Eau Claire where he had
resided for years, and where his
house and household furniture were.
Judge Barron beat him by over one
thousand majority. Since then
Bailey has felt that the wrong man
was in the right place, that he,
Bailey, had ''got lett," that it ought
to be Judge BAILEY instead of
Judge BARRON. Rumor says that
he has rendered the Judge all the
annoyance in court he dare since the
Judge came upon the bench, and
week or two ago, upon the an
nouncement of a decision against
him, gave utterance to the terrible
word "Inapeachment." in whisper
to a brother attorney. The scnsa-
tional papers got hold of it, and
hence the rumors that have travelled
the State and created "a mountain
out of a mole-hiIl. ."-Hudson Star
and Times.

WHAT is KNOWN ABOUT AMER
IcAN NEWSPAPERS Pettcngill has
published his Newspaper Directory
for 1878, and 1t shows not merely
that his knowledge of American
newspapers surpasses that of all of
his contemporaries, but also that
there is a method of enabling every
man who possesses a copy of the
new book to utilize that knowledge
proftab!y. The classification Of
newspaper lists is the most complete
ever accomplished. No man who
is in the habit of advertising his
business can be fully equipped for
work without copy of Pettengill's
Directory. The science of direc-
tory-making is mastered in the most
admirable manner in this latest of
publications relating to newspapers.
Of course much labor and great
care have been bestowed in the
preparation of this Directory. 1t
brings the reader into immediate
communication with S,6l5 newspa-
pers, in all parts of the country. 1t
advises advertisers how, and when,
and where to advertise so as to
make their expenditures effective.
There is no newspaper man, wheth-
err editor or publisher, in the coun-
try who will not hail the advent OF
this newest and bes. of Newspaper
Directories. Address, S. M. Petten-

SAM FIFIELD IN WASHINGTON.
ASHLAND, June 8, 1873.


We owe an apology to the subject
of this sketch, and your manifold
readers, for being so dilatory in our
duties as faithful correspondent
and chronicler of events. From
time to time we have put off telling
that one of our citizens had been to
Washington and returned .but a
short time ago. Before his depart
ure for the capitol of our nation,
Sans nearest friends noticed such a
startling strangeness about the man.
No swollen tonsils, no quinsy, but
whatever it was he had it bad. His
bosom constituents looked at each
other silently and solemnlY shook
their heads. He refused to chirp in
our own beautiful Anglo-Saxon, as
was his usual wont; nothing but alb
original gu.turalS would he utter;
he walked with his toes turned in !;
his full dress costume consisted of
a calico breeoh clout, bead belt with
k;nniklnnick pouch slung from it.
Matches he discarded and would
only use flint and steel. Evidently
some great change was preying up
on his mind. He suddenly disap-
peared and was gone several days
before his hitherto most intimate
bowers learned that he had taken the
trail for Washington.
Arriving at Washington he paint
