the headwaters Of the stream have
been stripped Of their trees, it is be-
coming more Of q torrent than river.

Cincinnati Commercial: "The disreputable
woman who has been proving around WASH
ington with baby in her arms, and pretend-
inr that Senator Hill is the father of the
child, took the cars Yesterday for home. The
insinuation is made that Hills friends paid
the woman to 20, but the probability is that
alarmed and helped her to take flight. The
reputation Of the woman in Georgia and her
conduct in Washington are sufficient. No
honest or decent man or woman should
countenance such a scandal. 1t would have
