DEFENCE OF CAPT. DoPISS.

His Explanation of tho Marginal Note-IIe
Holds Himself Guiltless of Colonel sham
| mons Blood.
LII answer to the charge that the Dco-
pic OF Camden held Captain DcPass re-
SporslDle for the death of Colonel
Shannon, letters have been published
III the NeeoS and Courier from Cap
tam DcPass and from his friend Colo
mel Blair, going to show that the
responsibility Of The fatal. meeting did
not rest on Captain DcPass, and that
herein the difficulty between himself
and Colonel Cash originated, the duel
between Colomcls Cash and Shannon
resulted from charges made by Colo
ncl Cash on Colonel Shannon's conduct
III the trial.
Ills explanation is that hc first drew
rough draft, in which the marginal
note charging fraud was written. That
bclicving that Mrs. Cash was ignorant
OF the confession made by Mrs. El-
lcrc TO her, he resolved to withdraw
the charge of "iamily agreement"
Ihls rough draft was copied with the
marglhal note omitted, and was taken
before Judge Mackeyas the basis Of an
injunction. a letter from Judge Mae
Key, declaring that the marginal note
was not in the complaint presented to
him, is published. The I'M Junction be-
!ns oota'lh:d, on salcsday the slcr-
III was cnjoincd. lie asked for the
papers, and Captain DcPuss saws that
in haste and owing to similarity of
backing, the rough draft was given to
the sheriff, and by him shown to Colo
ncl Cash and his lawyers. Hc did moi
discover his mistake for several DAYS.
and then withdrew the rough draft
and substituted the complaint and
summons he had intended to serve
with the marginal note omitted.
Then followed Colonel Cash's letter
10 Colonel Shannon and Colonel Shan
mons answer. which Colonel Cash pro-
nounccd satisfactory.
After that Captain DePass was per-
cmptOrily challenged without being
asked for any explanation, and OF
course did not give one. Captain Dc
pass was challenged by Colonel Casl,
Tor the "marginaI clause, and Colonel
Shannon by Ellcrbc for ''his conduct

ordered to be printed:
Over-iceding docs more harm than
anything else; nurse al infant a month
or two old, every two or three hours
Nurse an infant Of six months and
over, five times in twcnty-four hours
and no more.
IT al infant is thirsty, give it pure
water or barley waller; no sugar.
On the hottest days. a few drops al
Wliskcy may be added to either water
or food; the whiskcy not TO exceed n
reaspoonful in twenty-four hours.
Boil tcaspoontul Of powdered bar
Icy (ground in coffee grintlcr) and a
gill OF water, with II little salt, for tif-
teen minutes; strain; then mix it with
half as much boiled milk; add lump
OF white sugar, size Of a walnut, and
give 1t luke warm from nursing bot
tie. Keep bottle and mouth piece in a
DOW OF water when not in use, to
which little soda may be added.
For infants five or six months old,
give half barley water and half boiled
milk, with salt and a lump OF sugar.
For old infants, give more milk than
barley water.
For infants very costivc, give ont
meal instead Of barley. Cook and
strain as before.
When your breast milk is ONLY hall
enough, change Off between breast

In hot weather, if blue litmus pane,

thin zinc, five feet long, ten inches
wide, and five deep. There is n sock

about four inches when stepped into.

as they are called went and dictated to Mr..
Garfield the terms He was to use all his
