LONDON
At York on Saturday, before Mr. Justice
Cave, Sabina Quinton, aged thirty mine
years, WAS charged with throwing nitric acid
upon Mary Ann Bowers, on June 18th last,
with intent to do her grievous bodily harm.
Mr.. Meyser-Thompson prosecuted; the pris-
oner was defended by Mr.. Lockwood. The
case was one of a very painful character, the
prisoner being the wife of medical man at
Grosmount, in Yorkshire, and holding good
position in society. On June 18th she re-
ceived an anonymous letter suggesting that
too great an intimacy existed between her
husband and the prosecutrix. The prisoner
went in very excited condition 10 Mrs. Bow
ers's house and accused her of it, but she
denied the imputation. The prisoner then
left, but later on in the day one of her SER
wants made a statement TO her respecting her
husbands intimacy with Mrs. Bowers. She
at once went TO the surgery, took some
nitric acid, ran to Mrs. Bowers's house and
threw the liquid over her face, arms and
hands, infiictiDg very serious burns. At the
same time the prisoner said: SECT over that
il you can" Her eyes were glaring, and she
appeared very wild and excited. When
charged she said: 81 have thrown something
over Mrs. Bowers, don't know what it was,
but have not given her enough" She SUBJ
sequently said: "Are you going to punish me
for his deeds? It's he that wants Furnishing
and not me; it was his conduct that caused
me TO do this. After receiving an
anonymous letter, and from, what 1
heard, / did not know what 1 was
doing. / now remember did throw some
thin over Mrs. Bowers" From. the medical
evidence it appeared that the prisoner was
in very weak state of health, and was of.
an unusually excitable temperament, and
when suffering under excitement seemed to
lose all control over herself. The defense
set up was that, in consequence OF her
under such excitement to be irresponsible
fer her acts. The jury found her guilty, but
recommended her very strongly to mercy,
and she was sentenced to imprisonment for
eighteen months with hard labor. The trial,
which excited great interest, was frequently
interrupted by the hysterical ssbbing of the
prisoner, who, througho 1t the trial, was APP
parently in condition of complete prostra-

6elphia drug stores, and represent similar IT,
reEuisrities in scores Of Others.
Here is the copy Of the physicians pre-
scription. On the same slip is the pharma-
cist's revision. Here Is one that calls for
fifteen grains iodoform, one drachm balsarn
Peru, and one ounce Of cosmoiine. The COM
pounding druggist followed instructions ac-
curately, with the trifing exception of SUBJ
shutting two grains Of iodine for the fifteen
grains Of iodoform. Iodine acts as an irri-
tant, while the effect of iodoform- is quite
different. The physician was not slow in die
covering the irregularify, and promptly re-
turns the prescription. Another calls for
two drachms OF potsssic perrhangsnate to
two ounces OF wafer. The pharmacist
wasn't misery with the water, but evidently
concluded that half drschm of the perman-
gsnate would suffice. "Cinehona sulphate,
thirty grains; slrychnia sulphate, three
fourths OF a grain; arsenious scid, three
fourths of g-aiD," under the wizard hand
OF the prescription clerk, loses two of its in
gradients and cor,es out plain cinchona sui
phate, and the druggist from whose file this
was taken universally fills it in the same SIM
pie way. Bread crumbs play a conspicuous
part in this next one. The physician wrote:
Citrate caffeine, twenty grains; bromide
lithium, twelve grains" The druggist sub
stituted one grain Tor the twenty, two grains
TOR the twelve, and made up for all de6cien-
cies with twenty-nine grains of bread
crumbs. Seidlitz powders are made TO cost
just half what they should by using equal
parts OF Rochelle salts and bicsrbonate of
soda in the blue paper, when the Rochelle
salts should constitute three-fourths of the
mixture

THE MEMPHIS TUNNEL.
Another Great Work which the Cotton
States Need.


Another great work which the cotton
States need is a railroad tunnel under the
Mississippi river at Memphis. The bridge
at st. Louis is a,nuisance to navigators, and
no more bridges across the Mississippi below
the mouth of the Missouri will be tolerated.
In fact, bridges across navigable streams are
no longer in order; tunnels are preferred.
By means of one New York city is connect
ing herself, under the Hudson, with New
Jersey, and others will follow. The break at
Memphis in the continuous line of railroad
from Nova Scotia to Mexico drives passen-
gers and freight around by st. Louis that
otherwise would take this more direct south
ern route. A tunnel is the proper remedy,
and it would have been applied ere this had
the late far-seeing president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, Colonel Thomas A. Scott,
lived to perfect his plans. Nobly did the
citizens of the commercial metropolis of Ten
nessee meet the issue and stay the pestilence
which had decimated their numbers by con-
structipg costly drainage works which have
made theirs model among the cities of the
Union. We are sure that we do not overes-
innate their pluck when we cay that they
mean TO make her the great central focus for
the converging trunk lines between Canada
and the Mexican States, and this the tunnel
would greatly tend to secure.

WHAT WOMEN SHOULD Know, by Mrs.
E. B. Duffey; Philadelphia Publishing Com
pany. This is a woman's book about women,
and it Is one which women can put into the
hands of their daughters with perfect con-
fidence. To write book of this character
so as to avoid prudishness on the one hand
and exciting vicious ideas on the other, is
not easy. Mrs. Dnfey has accomplished it,
however, by speaking with the plainness of
conscientious doctor, combined with the
modesty of woman and the carefulness of
a mother. We have been at some pains TO
examine this book that we may not commend
what would do harm to the moral nature,
but Mrs. Duffey is safe az well as skilful
guide, and youth, with the clear, plain state
menis here given in their possession, will es-
cape many anxieties and imprudences, and
be effectuslly delivered from the influence of
those evil communications that corrupt good
manners. To enlighten ignorance by i'm
parting a knowledge that m ust be attained,
so as to shock no delicacy nor offend
modesty, is the valuable result that What
Women Should Kilosc has accomplished.

swindliBg Druggists.

There are plenty OF honest druggists, but
they are brought in direct competition with
the INSCRIPTIONS compounders, and the ma
jority of people, in their medicines in
their beef and their calico, go where they can
buy the cheapest. The look askance at
physician who recommends particular drug
store, and often talk mysteriously about per-
centsges, forgetting that their physician has
some opportunity of knowing the difference
between and honest and a crooked prescrip-
ton desk.
One of the most common frauds is the sub
stitution of cinchonidia and cinchona for
quinine. Authorizations of the most familiar
drugs are almost universal. Citrate OF mag
nesia is made with only one-haH or three
fourths its wonted strength; tincture OF
iodine, one-fourth to three-fourths; lauda-
mum, half to three-fourths. The laudanum
of the stores is exceedingly unreliable, the
cheaper preparations being weak in proper
ton to the price. Paregoric is very COM
monty diluted one-half, and often contains no
benzoic acid and but one fourth the standard
proportion of opium. Aqua ammonia, sweet
spirits of inter, and 8 long catalogue OF others
are similarly manipulated. The various oils
rose, lemon, bergsmot, orange, rose gera-

NASHVILLE, August Is. 1882.
To the Hon. J. J. vertrees, Chairman, ETC.:
DEAR SIR-From your correspondence
with the Hon. w. P. Browniow, as published
in the city newspapers OF the 18th instant,
you seem to express surprise that neither
Mr.. RUSSELL nor anyone protesting 10 repre-
sent him had then (nor have they at any
time since) indicated desire for Mr.. Fuss
sell 10 discuss with General Bate.
As the representative OF Mr.. RUSSELL did
not deem it at all necessary 10 make such
indication. Since had accepted an invita-
ton TO meet the representatives of all the
candidates in conference, with the view of
arranging list OF appointments for q joint
discussion, l disclaim any intention of
sighting General Bate, or the more remote
idea on my part of permitting him 20 make
q Lonesome campaign over the State, il l
could prevent; and while l should greatly
prefer joint discussion in which Mr.. Fus-
sell would meet the Republican candidate, yet
as you have declined such a meeting for
General Bate aud seem 10 prefer for him not
to enter the debate with all the candidates
for governor, l now express TO you the most
earnest desire for General w. B. Bate to
make canvass of the entire State with tine
Hon. J. II. Russell.
Tennesseans have been accustomed TO
Joint debate to be participated in by all the
they expect now free and full discus
sion of the question at issue, and it is espe-
cially important at this juncture of State
issues, in order that the people may deter
mine "who have been, and are now, the most
trustworthy guardians of the honor and good
name of the State" and which platform of
principles is most likely to preserve them
from faint or suspicion. The Democratic
candidate who represents the true and time
honored principles of the Democratic party
in the State, is the one to defeat the Republi-
can and all other candidates, and be installed
governor of the State. A full and fair dis
cussion will aid Democrats in reaching wise
and Just conclusions az to which candidate
represents their principles.
l sincerely hope that this may accord with
your ideas in regard 10 this political CAM
paign before US, and that you will favor me
with an early reply, indicating the time and
place when we can arrange a list of appoint
ments for General Bate and Mr.. RUSSELL.
With high respect, very truly yours,
W. II. JACKSON. Chairman. etc.

Developments of Southern Resources.
Cleveland Herald


The Tennessee journals are discussing the
project of holding Southern coal and iron
exposition, either at Nashville or Chatta-
nooga, some time next year. What not?
The more the South does of this kind of
thing the better will ii be for her INTEREST,"
Until within the past few years the Southern
section Of the country has been sort of
sealed book 10 Northern men, and con-
sequence they have sought investment for
their capital in other directions. The recent
cotton exposition at Atlanta did much
toward opening the eyes of Northern capital
lists to the rich undeveloped resources of the
South, and taught The Southern people to
properly appreciate the good intentions Of
their visitors from this section. We venture
to say that the holding of that exposition
will be worth millions TO the cotton
interest of the South, besides accom-
plishing good in other directions. b.
all means let the Tennesseans go ahead and
hold their coal and iron exposition. Let
Alabama. Georgia, North Caroline, Virs iuia
and any other minersl-producing State in
that section unite with them TO make it a
success. Let them bring out their specimens
of coal, coke, crude ores and finished iron, as
well as of zinc and lead. 1t will afford our
Northern manufacturers and capitalists an
opportunity to study the rich resources of the
South in new field, and, perhaps, lead 10
active measures for their early development.
All that the South needs to insure success
full future is money and skill to start her on
manufacturing career. The raw material is
all there, and only needs 10 be made availa-
bic to enrich the entire section and prove
lasting benefit to the whole country.
