The Memphis Avalanche Of the
18th inst, says at las mighty
Milan" has caught the dreadful dis
case. Now we will ask the Avalanche
or the cold man." what city was the
first 10 quarantine against New Or
leans? What city sent detectives to
Milan and Humboldt to keep passen-
gers and freight from New Orleans,
from going to Memphis? The Ava
ganehe also stated that the city officers
of Milan had insulted the railroad men
several times and tried to keep the
doctors and nurses from going to Mar
tin. Now this IS an infamous false
hood. Mayor Rankin has received a
letter from Capt. Mann thanking him
for treating his man kindly. 1t is true
that the dreadful scourge has fastened
its great talons upon our little town
and that we sent to Memphis for a
doctor and nurse. But thank God
we never caught it from that poster
of an Avalanche or cold man. That
journal has ruined itself in Tennessee,
in running everything down. The
article in reference to the Murfi eesbo.

TO think drumming down the charita>
bic people of a community when they
were doing all they could to help the
suffering! Milan contributed nobly to
The sufferers of Tennessee; and she
buys all her groceries, and ships two
thirds of the cotton she. buys TO Mem
phis. Then to think the Avalanche
would run down Milan. The Mem
phis merchants ought never to patron
ize that paper. We hope the people
of Milan will never buy the Avalanche
again. We will hereafter treat eve
rything in the Avalanche about Milan
with silent contempt.

Cure for Drunkenness.

To the Editor of the New York sun:
In times past you have published nu-
merous articles on the cure of drunken
ness; but none of them, 80 far as l have
been able to discover. have resulted in
relieving the victim they we're intended
to benefit. With your permission, !
will now give to the world, through the
Sun, sure and speedy cure for intern
perance-a cure that has been tried fire.
quently, and always successfully.
Let the inebriate-it matters not
whether he is just getting of, is begin
ming it, or on "spree" begin by tax
ing every two hours one drachm (tea-
spoonfuD of tlncture of cinchona Peru
Wan bark. This will make him feel
good. He can increase the dose to six
drachms (teaspoonfuls) without any
danger. and take it in that proportion
tour W ten times day. 1t will not ue-
stroy his appetite for food. In the
course of few days the anti-periodic
properties of the cinchona begin to tell,
and he loses not only all taste for the
tincture, but also for every thing in the
way of alcohol.
Recently, in this city, well-known
gentleman who has in times past been
on his $500 and 81 900 sprees-tried this
remedy, telling the various druggists
where he drank it that he was fighting,
and would conquer, the greatest demon
on earth; but they could hardly believe
him. Yet he conquered, and the appe-
tite for drink vanished. He was never
nervous, never lost his appetite or sleep
during the siege, and came out of the or
deal in perfect health. During the
time the fever lasted 1 gave him two or
three doses of simple medicine for his
general health, but the tincture of
cinchona did the business. This case
can be verified by the proprietors of
seven of our drug stores. So well salts
fed am / of the value of the treatment
that will guarantee cure in all cases,
using this remedy alone.

Russian Captures During the War.

From recently published official re-
turns it appears that between the day
on which war was declared and the sign
ing of the armistice, the Russian army
of the Danube captured Is Pashas, 113,
600 officers and men, 606 guns of differ
ent calibers, $500 tents, lao, 200 mus
kets, and $4,000 horses. In addition,
10000 small arms, yatagbans, and pis-
tolls were taken from Turkish irregular
troops, and also $4,000 lances and dag
gers.
The Russian army in Asia captured
during the war IA Pashas and 80, 200 Of
ficers and men, 662 guns, 5000 tents,
AZ, 900 muskets, $4,000 horses, and i'm
mense stores of ammunition and provi-
sions of all kinds. The number of fire.
arms and miscellaneous weapons taken
from the Asiatic irregular troops of the
Porte was also, it is stated, exceedingly
large, but no details are given. The
Servian troops also acquired a large
booty during the short time they were
engaged, their trophies being returned
as 23S guns, 10000 muskets, and 81
standards, besides ammunition, provi-
sions, and horses. Mall Gazette.

Massachusetts Wives and Mothers.

The statistician of Massachusetts, is
nothing if not curious and thorough,
and, therefore, it is not strange to find
in the ninth annual report of the Bureau
of Statistics some curious facts as to the
conjugal condition of mothers, the per;
centage of married woman with and with
out children, and the ages of married
women and mothers. The total number
of women in Massachusetts, who are or
have been married is 398, $50, and the
number who have become mothers is
800, $40. The statistics show that there
are in the State $40 single mothers, 1875
native and 115 foreign born 247, 1852
married, 152, 299 native and 90, 1863 for
eign born 60, 485 widowed, 81, LOG ma
tive, and %, 1873 foreign born 1 ,160 di-
vorced, 1,040 native and 129 foreign
born. A total of 800, 756 mothers $780,
ITO native and 118, 1855 foreign born.
The number of native-born married
women is 154, 53l, and the number of
foreign born LA, 228. The whole num-
Der thathave become mothers is 800, 759,
of which 100, 663 are native and 119, 096
are foreign born. The total number of
married women not mothers is 80, 900, of
which 63, 800 are native born and %, 1872
are of foreign birth.

The Available Forces of Russia.

From detailed account of the present
distribution of the Russian forces, given
in usually well-informed German pa
per, it appears that Russia has still in
tact in the interior of the country, and
quite Independently of any garrison
troops, thirteen divisions of infantry,
five divisions of cavalry, three brigades
of rifles, and two brigades of sappers;
or, altogether, in round numbers, $780,
600 infantry, $4,000 cavalry and 700
field-pieces.
In addition, four reserve divisions are
in process of formation, and 100 local
battalions are being mobilized to occupy
the Polish provinces of the empire. The
army on the Balkan peninsula comprised
at the time when the armistice was agreed
upon-exclusive of the siege artillery,
the artillery parks, the train, the admin
istrative services, detachments of sailors,
etc.-25 divisions of infantry, with ], 200
field-guns; brigades of rifles; 6 divis-
ions of cavalry, with 200 horse artillery
guns; or, altogether, 324 battalions, 240
squadrons and 1,400 field-pieces. AS
Stunning the actual strength of each of
the above units to average two-t thirds of
its prescribed war establishment, the
aggregate effective of this army would
amount to 260, 600 infantry, 30, 900 horses
and l 400 guns.
In the Caucasus there were at the same
time divisions of infantry, comprising
together 80 oattalions and the Kuban
and the Terek Cossacks, or about %, 600
men, 10000 horses and 156 guns; and,
finally, in Armenia there were divisions
of grenadiers and infantry, a brigade of
rifles and divisions of cavalry, repre-
senting an effective of 5000 infantry,
5000 cavalry and 372 guns. Altogether,
therefore, it is calculated that, including
both the armies in Europe and Asia,
Russia can dispose of field force of
$4,000 infantry, $4,000 cavalry and
2, 100 guns, or, if the special and access
sorry services are added, total of 750, 900
men.-PaU Mall Gazette.

Remarka BILE Success.

The success Of the leading literary paper OF
the West, THE CHICAGO LEDGER is truly re-
markable. Since its introduction to the read
ing public, six years ago, The LEDGER has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now ac'
knowledged second 10 no paper Of the kind in
the country. Its circulation is national, and
has been obtained through the efforts of it,
publishers to produce paper of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at price
consistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well too, the thou
sands of readers of TIE LEDGER scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to Florida
will bear testimony The CHICAGO LEDGER is q
large forty-eight column weekly paper, which
contains stories both complete and continued
in each number, written by the best authors
Of the day, and great variety of information
interesting to every one. The subscription price
of THE LEDGER is only $1.50 per year, postage
paid, and 1t IL equal in every particular to Other

a year. Three copies Of this valuable paper
will be sent to any one who sends 10 cents and

Signs.

People who still adhere to the look-at-your-
tongue-and-feel-of-your doctor some
times express not little curiosity in regard to
DIR. II. V. Pierce's original method of distin-
gushing all forms Of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose
that he accompanies this through clairvoyance.
or some other species Of professional jugglery.
All this is utterly false. He claims to deter
mine disease by the rational methods OF science
only Says Comley, in his Biographical En-
cyclopedia Of New York State speaking of this
distinguished physician He perceived that
in each of the natural sciences the investigator
proceeds according to q SYSTEM of signs. The
geologist in his cabinet accurately determines
and describes the cleft of rock, which he ha /,
never seen, from the minute specimen on his
table. And theohemist in his laboratory notes
the constituents Of the sun with the same pre-
cision that he analyses crystal of rock salt.
The analogous system developed by DIR. Pierce
in Medical Science is worthy Of his genus, aud
has made his name justly celebrated. For a
full explanation OF this ingenious system OF
diagnosis, the Peoples Common Sense

dress Oh receipt OF one dollar and fifty cents.
