CONSTIPATION

SHOULD not be REGARDED as
trifiing ailment--in fact ma
ture demands the utmost regu-
1arify OF the bowels, and any de-
Walton from this demand payes
the way often to serious danger
II Is quite ae necessary to re-
move impure accumulations
from the bowels as il is to eat
or sleep, and no health can be
expected where costiYe habit
of body prevails.

talked with difficulty, owing to hel
swollen lips. Her story was discon-
nected, and frequently her answers
could not be understood, but it was
the same in substance as that which
she told TO Elder Steward and Mrs.
jackson. In speaking OF the whipping
post and the whipping that she re-
celyed on the vessel she barred her
shoulder and showed two long red
welts on her black skin. An effort
was made yesterday to find the vessel
that she arrived ia. Only one steam
ship, the Arden, arrived from the
West Indies on Friday last. She had
no passengers. The latest steamship
from Hayti or Sau Domingo arrived in
the latter part of September.
Last evening the girl was unable to
sit up. Several colored persons have
talked to her in the day, and she had
fainting spells afterward. The slight
est touch on a wound on the back of
her head produces Inconsistencies.
The janitor said that the girl persisted
in saying that she arrived on Friday
last, although she did not apparently
realize that the truthfulness of her
story depends on the date of her ar
rival. Elder Stewart has given the
case to a detective, but nothing con
cerniug the girl more than she has
told has been ascertained,
