REGENT PUBLICATIONS,

In Part Eleventh of the second volume O
 Mrs Martha J. Lambs History of the Cit, of New York, :" the account of the duel be
 tween Burr and Hamilton is concluded The1 follows brilliant chapter upon institutions
 and inventions. Mrs. Lamb describes the
 founding of the New York Historical Socie
 ty, and introduces it's founders, all of whom
 were men of mark in their generation also,
 the Free School Society, showing it's real ob,
 ject and catholicity of spirit, and the char
 acter of the scholars, merchants and philan-
 thropists to whom we are indebted for it's
 origin. The founding of the botanical gar den, the insane asylum, the Orphan Asylum Society, the thirty-one then existing be- nevolent institutions of the city, the con- dition of the newspaper press, of learn ing, art, science, medicine and literature, are all brought into notice as compo- nent features of the wonderful story which pictures the gradual rise of great city. But the special interest of the eleventh part of the history clusters about the successful ap- pication of the steam engine to ship propuI- sion. The opening full-page illustration rep resents the passage of Fulton's steamboat up the Hudson in 1907; and also furnishes a rare and beautiful sketch of the Palisades in all their grandeur. An original letter from Sir Walter Scott, written after reading Knick- erbocker's History of New York, " and never before printed, appears in this number, also a splendid portrait of Washington Irving from painting in London, and other illus trations.

NEW HAVEN, July 3.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. Fe1 the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing 1t to a consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creaslng upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lghthilps pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un. der his care, and happily I did so pr. Light hlll etfectually removed the catarrhal com plant and all it's attendant troubles. and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. -LighthiIl's repu- tat1on IS so well known that any recommen- dalton on my part is scarcely necessary, but l feel like discharging duty to the afflicted n New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lc statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. hghthill's efforts has taught mo to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with pr. Lghtnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that be is a master of his profession.

 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Llghthill's skill and success to that of MT. Cox and others, as have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf When a month ago applied to him for relief was | great sufferer. catarrh which had af

One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when left his office was in a condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like new man. Ever since then steady inn provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Llghthill's skillfu1 management The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and troublesome cough, which se- rIously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited thaszan my acquaintances notice the favorable change Like many oth- CTS, l had spent much money and time in frultless efforts to obtain relief before I ap piled to Dr. Lighthin, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of long experience.

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes. timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efieial that eheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in its worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthin per- manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character Our people may congratulate themselves on hav- ing at their command the services of phy- sician so skllful as Dr. Lghthin in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

Carefully compiled statistics by Dr. Red field, competent authority, show that the number of homicides in the southern States has reached the enormous aggregate of forty thousand since the war, and that continued through generation the destruction of life would be equal to that of great war. Since the war more people have been killed in the South by the pistol and the knife than have died of yellow fever, the rate of murders to population being far in excess of that in the northern States or in England for the past four hundred and fifty years This is striking Illustration of the state of society in the South

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is not probable that the bolting Green packers of Maine will cast many votes in No vember, but defection of even a few hun dred votes from the Fusionists will be val uable aid to the Republicans. Of one thing we can be certain, and that is that the Re- publicans will not be caught mapping again.
 The nomination of Hon. Thomas Wallace of Derby, for Congressman from this (the Second) district gives much satisfaction to Republicans all over the State The Hart ford Coarunt says of him: He is of superior intelligence and of great popu- larity. He is closely identified with the ma terial interests of the district, is sound in his views of finance and of tariff, and will make strong candidate. His election over MT. Phelps the Greenbacker, ought to be certainty" And the Hartford Post calls it Ca very strong nomination.

A Marriage of Midrets.

A wedding occurred in the par
lors of the Whiscomb House yester-
day noon, which, of its nature, we
think is unparalleled in the history
of Rochester. 1t WAS no less than
the marriage of two members of the
Liliputian Opera Company, which
has just concluded a successful en-
gagement of three nights at the
Grand Opera-house.
The fairy lady who deserted the
ranks of spinsterhood to assume
the cares and responsibilities of a
wife, was Rebecca Ann Myers, the
second soprano of the company,
and who is by actual measurement
just thirty-one inches in height.
She Is a decided blonde, has spark
ling blue eyes, perfect and sym
metrical figure, and is, upon the
whole, as Liliputians go, a decided
beauty. She is remarkably intelli-
gent, has a good education, is a
brilliant conversationallst, and since
her engagement with the opera
company has made rapid progress
in music. She was born near Ply
mouth, Marshal county, Ind, and
will be twenty-seven years old the
third of April.
The bridegroom, Reubin Allen
Steere, was born in the village of
Gloucester, r. l., Oct. 10, thirty
three years ago. He is thirty five
inches in height, and of slim build.
He is the only one of the Lilipu-
tians who has any beard, quite a
"killing" mustache and goatee
adorning his manly face.
1t is almost an impossibility to
describe the toilets of the bride and
maids, SO ingenious were they in
construction and style. The dress
es of the bride and Miss Quigley |
were almost similar, and consisted |
Of pale blue gros-grain silk and |
plated pale pink satin, with tulle
lace trimmings, and ornaments of |
diamonds, the former having under |
her tiny veil a profusion of orange |
blossoms. Both dresses were cut |
princesse. Miss Belton's dress |
consisted of plum. colored silk and
black velvet, with ornaments of dia-
monds. The groom wore an Eng
lish cutaway walking coat, and his
best men were in full evening dress.
The husband and wife will cou-
tinue with the opera company until
the end of the season, when they go |
TO Coney Island for the summer,
probably rejoining the troop again
next season. Rochester IN. ~

A She-Gambler.

Educated, pretty and fashiona-
bly, dressed women were not COM
mon in Nevada City, Cal, in 1854.
Therefore the arrival of Madam
Dumont il that mining town caused
considerable excitement, for she
was attractive in the three mention
ed particulars. Besides, she was
not more than twenty years old.
She at once hired a corner in a
large saloon and opened q faro
game. The novelty of a woman
dealing the cards drew many gam
blers to her table, and her success
was so great that she soon opened
a large establishment, where doz.
en- games were kept going night
and day. She gained the reputa
ton of dealing honestly, was al
ways smilingly polite, and the min
ers liked her-even held her in con-
siderable respect. But her luck
changed from good to bad, and she
lost all her money. She spent a
few years in other business in San
Francisco, but could not recover
into prosperity. A few weeks ago
she borrowed $500 from an old
friend and started for the mining
region of Nevada, contemplating a
new career as a gambler. She
opened u faro game at Brodie, but
it lasted only a few hours, when
the bank was broken. She paid
her losses in the old smiling man
ner, retired to an ante-room, swal-
lowed poison and died.

No black for me, dear love, when am dead (;
Shroud not that precious face in funeral fold,
But wear a soft, white veil upon your head,
As fits sanity woman growing old.
No black for me; why, when eternal day,
Has burst in glory on my dazzled sight,
And Gods own angels bear my soul away,
Should my twin spirit bow in woe and
nights
There may be tears, but let them fall, sweet
wife,
As feeling one more pilgrim safe at rest;
One changed from dying day to deathless life,
Whose head has often lain upon your breast.
One roaming mid an Eden's f.owers and trees,
Whose weary, wasting feSt no walks could
share;
One drinking heavens breath with raptu-
roGs ease,
Who scarce could breathe blessing or a
prayer.
Let me be carried from my cheerful home,
Like sunshine, out of sunshine, flowers
from flowers;
Let maids in white, and little children come,
And cheer with tender songs your lone
some hours.
For you wiD miss me, though some path
from heaven
May lead straight from my glory to your
heart;
And may c'me, like Jacobs angels. given
S9me thrill some Joyous message to impart.
So keep the light about you, death is light,
And life, and power, to pure and chastened
love,
And death is only dark to doubt and sight
That has no visions from the world above.
No black for me when am gone, dear love,
Shroud not that precious face in funeral fold,
II gOf w a
As fits sanity woman growing old.
