HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN = s.
NEW UNDER THE SUN.

HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN - SOMETHING
NEW UNDER THE SUN.
By reason of her peculiar relations, and her pc
culiar ailments, woman has been compelled to
suffer, not only her own ills, but those arising
from the want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she stands con-
nected in the social organization. The frequent
and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex
have thus been aggravated to degree which no
language can express In the mansions of the
rich and the howell of the poor alike, woman has
been the patient victim of Ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure-and
without remedy. But now the hour of her re-
demption has come. She need not suffer longer,
when she can find relief in DR.. j. Bradfeld's

A TALLAHASSEE GIRL. perhaps it may turn
out song, perhaps turn out sermon" Bos-
ton: James R. Osgood & Co., 1882.
We are indebted to the author for COPY of
this neat little book, the latest of the Round
Robin series, which is having, just now,
quite circle of readers among those in whose
midst the scene of the story, SO pleasantly told,
is laid. As it may be had at Bottoms, we will
not undertake TO repeat the tale, lest some one
who might otherwise read for him or herself
should be deprived of the pleasure of going
through with it. An extract or two from the
press must suffice:

The scene of the story, "A Tallahassee Girl"
is laid in that most fascinating, but by the aver
age Northern tourist, leasi-vsited section of
Florida, the lovely rolling country in and about
Tallahassee whose clay soil and gentle hills are
q relief to one who comes to them from the level
and sandy tracts along the ST. Johns. The
thread of the story is love romance, partly gay
and partly sad, like most love romances, In and
cut of books There are some good contrasts OF
character, and some graphic and picturesque
descriptions of Southern scenery.

This modest volume is quite triumph in it's
way, and, we confess, somewhat confusing. At
first glance it would seem that one but a
Southerner could give US so genuine picture OF
a very familiar phase of Southern socety-catcL-
ing and holding the thousand and one delicate
lights and shadows and the subtle variations
thereof; but there are such strange limitations
and omissions-such neglect OF situation and
statement-that the author may turn out to be
Northerner OF weak lungs, strong brains and
genial mind. In any event, let us do justice to
what is before us and be thankful for it, Let US
say, to begin with, that A Tallahassee Girl
should take its place at the head of Round Robin

The Garfield Monument.
An Appeal to the People Through the
Press.

At the last meeting of the societyof the Army
of the Cumberland, it was proposed that under
its auspices thers should be erected in the city
of Washington statute or monument In mem
ory of our former comrade, the late President
James Abram Garfield. With that end in
view, committee was appointed by Lieuten-
ant General P H. Sheridan. president of the
society, which organized and proceeded to
work, and it is with much pleasure that the
committee announce that its efforts have met
with such liberal response from all parts OF the
country, as to warrant the assurance that the
work will be contaminated.
The question now is, and to you we submit
it, shall the statue be such acne as we can
build with the funds on hand, or will you come
to our aid in such a manner as to enable us to
erect work of art in size, design, and work.
manship in keeping with the glorious name
well as an ornament to our already magnificent
capital city. 1t is proposed that the work when
completed shall be no longer the property OF
the society, but be formally transferred through
their Chief Magistrate to the people of the
United States to be monument of their afec-
ton for all time.
We therefore present to you tho opportunity
to unite with Us in the work, and thereby ena-
BILE us to make the structure in every respect
worthy the name of Americas foremost peo-
pie. To that end, we request that on the Both
instant, day when all hearts turn in love and
grateful remembrance to the soldiers of the Re-
public, and we strew their graves with flowers
that feature of that day shall be the offering
and o'iciting of contributions to the end set
forth. But few can enjoy the privilege of plac-
ing flower on his grave on Decoration Day,
but all can contribute the cost Of one. and
thereby enable us to stimulate genius and ex-
haust art in the endeavor TO plant here stat
ne that will testify to men OF all time the great
love the people bore him.
1t is the desire of the committee that this
work be general one in which all the people
can take part without feeling it to be a tax;
and it is therefore suggested that no contribu-
ton from any one person on that day shall ex-
coed one dollar.
The press and postmasters throughout the
country will receive and forward subscrip-
tions; or, if preferable, committee of citizens
may take charge of the work under such plans
as they may deem most eficacious, In either
case it is required that a complete list of SUI
scribers be kept, as all subscription lists, as well
as copies of papers publishing the same, are de-
sired for deposit in the corner stone OF the
statue, and will be carefully retained for that
purpose.

GEORGE W. JONES, now representative
in Congress from the fifth Texas district, is
willing to be the Independent candidate for
governor of his State. Mr.. Jones was ear
nestly opposed to secession, but when his
State went he went. He entered J. Davis
army with knapsack on his back, and at
the close of the war was colonel. He was
a member of the Texas constitutional con-
vention of 1866, and was afterwards elected
Lieutenant governor, from which Office he
was removed by Gen. Sheridan as can i'm
pediment to reconstruction" He now be-
lieves that both the old parties have survived
their usefulness, and that only Jones sur
wives with capacity to do anything for Texas.
1t is safe to say that an independent move
ment with Jones at its head will fail.

FOREIGN capital is again being invested
largely in American railways, mining opera

is no particular need of this foreign capital
now, inasmuch as the domestic wealth of
the country is quite sufficient for the devel-

THE question of theresignation of the Lib
eral ministry continues to agitate the British
public, though the probability of such an
event is perhaps lessening day by day. If
Mr.. Gladstone holds his place, it will be
partly because of his own strength and part
~ because the Tories have no member at
all worthy to step into his boots. His first
administration was an eventful one like the
present, and was largely concerned with
Irish affairs. 1t continued from December
0, 1858, when he came into power with the
largest majority known in Great Britain
since 1882, to February 21, 1874, and was
marked by the disestablishment of the Irish
church in 1869, the passage of the Irish land
bill and the compulsory education bill in
1870, the abolition of purchase in the army,
the negotiation of the treaty of Washington
for the adjudication of the Alabama claims,
and the passing of the ballot measure. In
1873 he was defeated in vote on the uni
versity education bill, and the dissolution
of parliament, after its adjournment in Au-
gust, resulted in the return of strong Con-
sentative majority. This was the first gen.
eral election under the ballot law, which
the Gladstone government had carried. The
present ministry was formed little more
than two years ago, on the 28th of April,

you owe Brady" Hop Sing smiled sadly and

The English Policy.

The cable says that the ardor of the Irish
people in pursuit of the assassins of Caven-
dish and Burke is greatly lessened by the
probability of the passage of the coercive
measures introduced into the British Parlia-
ment. That is natural; for the contemplat-
ed repressive legislation is virtually an in
dictment of the Irish people, and in effect
charges the murders upon them. Sir Yer
non Harcourt's bill is punitive measure,
and puts an entire nation under ban for a
crime which it repudiates with adherence.
Possibly England may succeed by these
means in removing Irish discomfort, but the
experience of centuries is against her. The
policy of coercion has been tried again and
again and has always proved failure. By
it order has sometimes been maintained for
limited periods, but the cause of the dissat-
isfaction between the two countries has not
been touched. All the good achieved has
been by the policy of cancellation. Yet, in
the present angry and excited state of ENG
fish feeling return to the old system seems
inevitable. The result will be as it has been
