Minnie MYrfle Miller.

Another literary lady who deserves in
death more than passing mention was Minnie
Myrtle Miller, the first wife OF Joaquin Mil
Ter. She died a few days since in the
Woman's Hospital, after long illness and
great suffering. Among the friends who
ministered 10 her wants in her last days was
her former husband, who, although he has
another wife and child, was not insensible to
the suffsrings of the woman whom he had
once loved. He sent her flowers and fruit
constantly, and did whstever he could 10
make her last days comfortable. Mrs. Mil
Ter was a sister 10 the late A. J. johnson, of
Troy, and twenty years ago or more was a
frequent contributor TO the newspapers under
the nom de plume of minnie Myrtle"

luton is as follows: "Taking into considera-
ton the vagueness OF the description of the
several members composing the Hillsdale

in recognizing the crew a. amateurs in
accordance with the English definition Of

evidence, advise the acceptance OF their
challenge. The captains of the Kingston

examination of the body Of the murderer,
Guiteau. 1t is a purely technical docu-
ment, no doubt of great value TO the medi-
cal fraternity, but hopeless muddle and
tumble to the average lay reader. We
therefore declined its publication. The medi-
cal experts who made the examination
might have satisfied the public anxiety as to
question they themselves have raised by
stating their conclusions as to the sanity or
i9asnity of the murderer of Garfield, but as
that would possibly make hole in medical
etiquette" they let the chance go by of being

LUM BER.
Effort Made in Milwaukee 10 Rear the
Market I'm the Interest of the Trade.

MILWAUKEE, July 6.-The Lumbernen's
Exchange, of this city, consists of about $50
members. A portion of this body have
been urging a reduction in the price of lum-
Der for some time, without success. This
afternoon, at a meeting quietly called by the
"bears," about twenty-five present, a com
mittee was appointed to prepare price-list
on reduced scale, and send it out to the
country in the name Of the exchange. Some
thing of row among the dealers is antIci-
pated as the result of this action. The
"bulls" state that the object of this move
ment is to reduce prices at the mills, so that
the "bears," who have let their stocks run
low can buy to advantage, and that when
they get supply on hand, will be prepared
to advance prices again.
