"With my love-" she said, softly.

RUSSIAN GRAssHoPPERs.-A company of
Russian soldiers, while recently on their way
to Elizabethpol, were beset by clouds of grass
hoppers that frightened them more than the
Turks ever did. At night they could not
sleep; their guns, their uniforms and they
themselves were covered with masses of these
insects, that crept into, their mouths, noses
and ears The officers fled into the houses,
but the plague of grasshoppers had previous
possession A region of fifteen miles was GOV
cred thickly with them, and all the grain and
grass were instantly destroyed.

| WHAT TO Do WHEN POISONED Free drafts
of sweet oil are said to counterfeit any poison;
but the following specifies should be wei
known as coffee for laudanum spirits for
reptile bites:
| The best antidote for arsenic poison is
chemical substance called hydrated peroxide
of iron, freshly prepared, which can only be
obtained of druggist But do not wait for
this. While it is being sent for, and at the
| first moment after discovering that arsenic
has been taken, pour down dose after dose of
water slightly warmed, promoting vomiting
by thrustng the finger or a feather down the
throat. Keep this up until the stomach has
been literally washed out at least a dozen
times. A friend of ours took teaspoOnful of
arsenic in mistake for cream of tartar, but
discovering his error soon after, he ran to a
stove and drank all he could of luke warm
dish water, throwing it up as fast as he took
it, and in this way swallowed and yOmited
half pailful of water. He recovered without
any other remedy This treatment is good
for most kinds of poisons if adopted soon
enough -Scientifc Anettcan.
RECENTLY on Maryland railroad an
gineer, named Pritchard, of passenger train
saw large boulder ahead of him on the track.
He reversed his engine, aud put on his air
break, which slowed the train very much, but
when the locomotive struck the boulder, "a
fearful crash followed. The engineer was
found standing erect, and with his hand
clasping the lever firmly that it required
force to loose his hold, but rod of iron had
been driven quite through his body, and he
was dead.

BosToN, Mass, May 2.-Charles +.

an altar. Freeman had driven every
one from the house and locked and
barred the doors and windows, and

A WORD TO OUR SOLID CITIZENS

Memphis to-day will stand forth in
all its nakedness before the educated
eye Of the sanitary expert. The crimi-
nal neglect of our rulers in the past
will be made most apparent in the
utter Indifference they have exhibited
in regard to public health matters, in
failing to concentrate the revenue of
the city upon the carrying out of some
well digested system of sanitary re-
form. The distinguished sanitarians
in attendance upon the sanitary coun-
Gil of the Mississippi valley propose
to spend to-day in careful in
spection of the city and its en-
vironments. Will not our leading
citizens-our largest property owners
arouse themselves, and as the city
authorities proper stand helpless in
having an empty treasury, will they
not consider some such plan as has
recently been inaugurated with great
success in New Orleans by the leading
merchants of that city, and through
an auxiliary sanitary association sup
plement the efforts of DR.. Porter and
strengthen the arms of our local board
of health? For without such aid our
authorities stand as Hercules-capa-
bic but bound Through want of
money! both hand and foot. Again
we say, arouse and organize, for every
interest of Memphis - commercial,
manufacturing, educational and other
wise-is in jeopardy. The good name
of our city is involved, and the future
growth and prosperity of Memphis is
at stake.

CINCINNATI.
Great Insurance Trial Growing Out

CINCINNATI, May 2.-The great in
surance trial which has been in pro-
gress for seven days before the United
States Court in this city, and in which
Governor Washburn, of Wisconsin,
is plaintiff, and the Western Insur-
ance Company is defendant, resulted
to-day in verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount claimed, after ten
minutes deliberation by the jury.
This is the first of eight cases pend
ing here and involving the same ques-
tions Of law and of fact. The plaintiff
was represented by Messrs. Sage &
Hinkle, and the defendant by Messrs.
7. D. Lincoln, John F. Follett and
others, Lincoln and Follett speaking
twelve hours.
This litigation grew out of FIRE at
Minneapolis, one year ago to-day,
which resulted in a mill explosion,
with loss Of eight lives at that point.

A few years ago the question was
What kind of work can women do?
Now it seems to be what can they not
do. They have gained sure foothold
in all the professions, and are rapidly
making their way into all trades and
every branch of industry. In Louis
vile, KY, according to the Courier
Journal, may be seen over the door of
a small building the sign Black
smithing, by Carrie and Nellie Blair. :"
These queens of the anvil are de-
scribed as young, very pretty and well
educated Having been left orphans
they entered the family of a kind far
mer, who was also blacksmith, and,
under him, learned the trade in all its
details. They now work by day and
continue their studies by night. The
champions Of woman's rights have
labored for years without any marked
results, but the women themselves are
solving the problem by their own ex-
ertions.

LONDON, May "A Cape Town
dispatch of April 10Th says Dubal-
manzi, who led the attack on Gingle-
Iowa, on the Sd inst, and his chiefs,
with large armed following, have
profered submission.
Lord Chelmsford promised them
personal safety and possession of their
cattle, but pending the war they should
be located on British territory. John
Dunn having pledged his word for
their safety, the chiefs are expected in
at once.
The head of the intelligence depart
ment has moved forward from Grey
town to meet the representatives from
Cetewayos, but the sincerely of his
proposals is suspected. John Dunn
has gone to Durham. His presence at
headquarters is thought necessary to
secure the submission of the chiefs.
Everything portends an early peace.
Meanwhile war operations are actively
proceeding and an advance on the
Kings seems certain from Col. Woods
directions whether peace is offered OF
not. John Dunn, formerly Cetewayos
adviser, asserts that Cetewayos' pride
is broken.
Before the war he regarded the
British as useful neighbors, but con-
temptible in strength and party. From
good feeling, and partly from incredul-
ity of their ability to molest him,
Cetewayo refused to molest US. Now
he sees his mistake, and provided he
gets good terms of the proportion, he
will come in. Owing to the badness
Of the road, Helpmakaar has been
abandoned. Dunkee Natal is bocom
ing the new base of operations for
Colonel Woods.
Now General Newdigates com
mands. A universal hope is enter
tanned, the resignation of Sir Bartle
Freevar will not be accepted As re-

mains as adverse as ever.

SOME of our readers who are sup
piled with the LEDGER by carriers
have requested that the second edition
be sent to them. This they will un-
derstand is not practicable, as the last
edition comes out at A o'clock, and the
carriers would not reach the end of
their routes until between 6 and z
o'clock, when many places of business
would be shut up and others would
have been supplied by news boys. The
first edition contains all the news that
can be gathered up to 2 o'clock, which
is as late as afternoon papers are gem
orally kept open in other cities. Tel
egraphic matter, however, usually
continues to be received until after 3
o'clock, and by issuing later edition
we can give the cream of the news
from the great news centers of the
world. The first edition contains as
much as can be secured up to 2 or
a little later by wire or otherwise.
Those who choose to buy tickets and
take the paper across the counter can
get either edition at the triAing price
of two cents a copy, at which no one
can complain. In Northern cities the
afternoon papers often issue three or
four editions, in order to get in the
latest special or regular telegraphic
dispatches. The experiment has not
been tried here before, but it works
admirably and gives general satisfac-
ton. No complaint has reached us
from our readers, and no others have
been consulted.
