who is Mrs. winslow?

AS this question is frequently asked, We
will simply say that she is lady Who for
upwards of thirty years, has untiringly
devoted her time and talents, as a female
physician and nurse, principally among
children. She has especially studied the
constitution and wants of this numerous
class, and, as a result OF this effort, and
practical knowledge, obtained in q life
time spent as nurse and physician, she
has compounded Soothing Syrup for
children teethinx. II operates like magic
giving rest and health, and is, moreover,
sure to regulate the bowels. In conse-
quenee Of this article, Mrs. Winslow IL
becoming world-renowned ss q benefactor
of her races children certainly do RISE UP
and bless her; especially is this the case in
this city. Vast quantities Of the Soothing
Syrup are DAILY sold and used here. We
think Mrs Wipslow has immortAlized her
name by this invaluable article, and we
sincerely believe thousands Of children
have been saved from an early grave by
its timely use, and that millions yet un-
born will share its benefits, and unite in
calling her blessed No MOTHER has dis.

our opinion, until she has given it the ben

High science a. Low Prices.

Messrs. Ramage & Co. have left on
our table the frat of a serious of parlor
science publications, published by j..
Fitzgerald & Co., New York, called the
Humboldt Library. The publications
are similar to the Seaside Library, and
are designed to cheaper the best works
of the greatest authors on special
scientific subjects. The books in
question are an excellent commentary
on the era Of cheap printing, and the
fact that there is demand
for such publications Is evidence
of the greatly increasing tendency
towards the study of the natural sci
ences, among all classes, that has sprung
up within few years.
1t is encouraging to reflect that the
typical dime novel is In q measure
being superseded by the writings of
Tyndall and Proctor and Agassiz.

Mr.. EDIToR: On Monday night, be-
tween the hours of IL and IL o'clock, /
found Rev. (?) j. L. Il. Sweres. who has
been pastor of the A. M. E Zion church,
Of this city, for two or three years, in my
bed room. up stairs, in very suspicious
and scandalous relations with my
wife, Laura Osment. They had just
returned from attending the meet
ing of the Good Samaritan Lodge,
of which he (Sweres) is the chief officer,
and she is a member. was near by and
saw them coming together from the lodge,
and enter the house, and by looking
through a window saw them in criminal
intercourse. l at once went in at another
door, to which had a key, and took them
completely by surprise. ...,.
/ can not say that IL was an entire sur
prise to me, however, for had been sus-
picioning the two TO. some months, and
was in search Of an opportunity
to satisfy myself MY wife thought was
going ont serenading, and would be gone
most all night, but I had stationed myself
near by, and saw with my own eyes what
/ have above stated, and l had eye wit
| nessss who viii testify to the truthfulness
of the same When | confronted Swere's
in the room he was apparently very much
confused, and could not explain his con
| duct at all Pretty soon he sneaked out
of the house, and that was the last of him.
1t is proper to state in this connectiC n,
that up to within the last few months l had
| entire confidence in this man and gave him
perfect freedom in my house, as much so
as l would father, my wife being a prom
inent member of his church. But q short
time before Sweres went north to raise
money for his church saw some conduct
between them which aroused my suspicious
more fully and put me more on my guard,
and this is the result. / may also add
tn at IL is not the first time that Laura has
been guilty of such conduct, for we were
parted few yesrs ago on account of a
similar circumstance, but she made such
faithful promises, that | agreed to live
with her again, thinking that she would be
| true to her marital vows; but l find that
! she has not thrown of her old habits.
Now, am done with her. and will have
nothing more whatever to do with woman
of such depraved character, who will yio-
late my confidence in such manner.
Asto this "wolf in sheep's clothing"
deem it my duty to warn the community
against him. He has ingratiated himself
into the confidence of the colored people
of Knoxville, during his residence here, to
very great extent, making great preten-
sions as to his purity of character, etc. In
fact, he has assumed to be O leader 10 all
matters of church and society; and, to be
caught in such disgraceful and reprehensi-
BILE conduct entities him to the scorn and
contempt of all good citizens.

Are invited to examine the stock of
Dry Goods we have recently pur-

our present stock is the largest ever

Of making SO large a purchase at this

reports of advances in prices. The
fact is that the goods purchased only
ten days ago are to-day worth Is per

SAD SUICIDE AT BRISTOL.
Death OF wilmer Lancaster, an tx

Death OF wilmer Lancaster, an Ex-
press Messenger, by his own Hands.
Railroad and express circles here
abouts we're thrown into state of ex-
element yesterday over the news
which was waited over the wires that
Wilmer Lancaster, an express mes.
senger on the line from Bristol to
Chattanooga, had committed suicide
at his home in Bristol. about half-past
eleven o'clock In the forenoon.
He was regular messenger on the
line, and was taking q laysover at
Bristol. He was In his room at home,
aud the family were startled by pis-
toll shot issuing therefrom. On APP
preaching the room, the door was
found to be locked, and had to be
bursted open. When an entrance
was gained, it was found that the
bullet had been directed too fatally,
and Wilmer only lived about two
minutes after he was found.
No cause for the rash act could be
assigned by those who knew him
most intimately, but we learn from
some Of the railroad men that he had
had some trouble, growing out of a
love scrape in Bristol, and it is
thought that may have had some
thing to do with 1t. Is
Wilmer was a young man, single,
about twenty.four years Of sge, per-
haps. He has been faithful
and trusted messenger in the ex-
press service for some years, and was
universally liked by all the express
and railroad men, who will be much
panied, all who knew him, at this sad
intelligence. He was always jovisl
and lively, and no one could notice
the effects OF any trouble on his mind
sufficient to bring about such conduct.
1t is said, however, that there have
been symptoms of insanity in some OF
the family, and that he had brother
