Magnetism. the New Source of
Health.

DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Healer,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the use
of surgery, drugs, minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely on the powers of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the Aus
tralian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
tidence that he can cure diseases which
have defied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breath is charged
with it. 1t the vital force emanating
from all persons and that which con-
meets the soul with the body. In sup
port of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered constitu-
tions in short time. DIR. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his ex-
traordinary cures of difficult and COM
plicated diseases, possesses power to
relieve and cure allkinds Of disease. DIR.
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge
without explanation from the patient.

BRIEF MENTION.

WASHINGTON, September 19.-The Sec
retary of the Treasury has issued call for
$4,000, 600 three per cents.
Gen. Sheridan is in the city. He will
return to Chicago this evening.
The final decisions of the Secretaries of
War and the Navy is that it is not practi-
cable to send another expedition for the
relief of Greeley this year.
The Secretary of the Navy decides that
there is now no law under which he can
render the desired assistance to the poor
people on the naval reservation at Pensa-
cola.
Ex-Postmaster Comfy, of Atlanta, had
an interview with the Postmaster-Ge eneral
to-day in regard to his removal. He de-
Tended himself from the charges contained
in the inspectors report ON which he was
removed, and requested that he be rein
stated. Postmaster-GeneralG Gresham, al
ter hearing his statement, informed Comfy
that his case was closed, and would not be
reconsidered by the department.
The London Field, a newspaper devoted
to agricultural interests, is most compli-
mentary in its allusion to the value and
accuracy Of the reports prepared by Prof
j. II. Dodge, statistician of the Department
of Agriculture here. 1t says his reports
provide for all who grow or buy the pro-
duce of American soil, are fully up to the
| times and give as much or more informa
ton as do the agricultural statistics ISSUED
by the English government and the re-
ports of the harvest collected by the En-
| glish farm-papers when both are dubbed
| together.

FLOWER MISSION.
Day Spent I'm Distributing Flowers
Among the Unfortunate.

Twelve ladies of the Women's Christian
Association, and representing also the
Women,s Christian Temperance Union,
met at the rooms on Jefferson street, in re-
sponse to the call for the Flower Mission,
prison day. A magnifcently arranged
basket of flowers, donated by Mrs. Harry
Lanham, of Chelsea, was carried to the
stationhOuse by that indefatigable worker,
Mrs. q. l.. Hall. Two baskets of flowers
were sent by the Lookup Legion, of
Chelsea, through Miss Senhhiiffl hhiifflle lRi"r6 johnson.
Mrs. E. l.. Saxon and Mrs. J. V. Patrick.
These were all arranged in beautiful bou-
quets, and attached to each oneswas a
pretty Illuminated card, containing an ap-
Propriate scriptural text, that had been
donated by Mrs. o. II. Benton through
Miss Campbell. The Women's Christian
Association has committee that visits
the Jail weekly; to these ladies' five
others were added, comprising Mesdames
Abernathy, Saxon and Gwin, and Misses
Etfie Hayward and Carrie Bassett. MIR.
Lawless, being familiar with some of the
ladies, ushered them in, and had the
prisoners called into the large lower hall.
Mrs. Saxon made brief address, urging
them to try and understand that the la
dies were deeply interested in their per-
sonal and moral welfare. When asked if
they desired anyone to pray with them,
they responded unanimously, and an
earnest prayer was made bv one
OF the ladies. 1t was a touching
sight to see the little girl, Carrie
Bassett carrying the flowers and papers
around to these men. Every negro had
knelt, and all stood with bowed heads and
reverent air while the words of earnest
petition were offered up. Not few faces
were wet with tears as the beautiful child
gave them the flowers, though when the
gate rolled back she had shrunk in terror
away. Mrs. Saxon put her arm around
her, saying, Come, specially want you
to come with me;' for, as she said, it was
q reminder of one who uood to do mission
work by her side; it would be an inspira-
ton. The papers distributed were do
mated by Mesdames Armour, Shotwell,
Latting, Wilcox and Rawlings. A brief
visit and like service among the women
was made, and conducted by the ladies'
Many condolences have been given by the
prisoners to the ladies, which has resulted
in such good that they feel certain the
work is not only an educational but re-
formatory one. To the honor Of the sex
be 1t said, very few women were in the
prison, and the majority were those of the
lowest class. The women of Memphis
should try and realize the need of a reform
school, so that children should not be put
on the chain-gang or put in Jail with
Older criminals. This is crying need of
our city.
| AT the stationhouse a basket of rare
flowers were left, to which was attached a
| card bearing the quotation, "IIe was
| wounded for our transgressions; He was
bruised for our iniquities. The chastise-
ment OF our peace was upon Him. With
His stripes we are healed"

LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
Letter from the Postmaster General
Regarding the New Orleans Bank.


WASHINGTON, September l9.-The fol-
lowing letter, which is self-explanatory,
was sent from the Postofiice Department
to-day:
POsTOFFICE DEPARTMENT,
WAsHISGToS, d. c., September 10, 1888.
Washington B. Merchant, Postmaster. New Or
leans, La;
SIR-Since you were instructed to de-
liver no registered letters reaching your
office addressed to NJ. A. Dauphin, and to
redeem no money-orders payable to him,
he has directed an advertisement inserted
in certain newspapers that all registered
letters intended for him, and concerning
the Louisiana State lottery, be addressed
to the New Orleans National Bank at New
Orleans, and that all money orders sent to
your office for his benefit and concerning
the business of said lottery be made pay
able to said bank. i am in possession OF
trustworthy information that this bank
has and is still receiving through your
office registered letters and money-Orders
for the purpose of NJ. A. Dauphin, in pursu-
ance of his published directions. This is q
defiant scheme on the part of NJ. A
Dauphin and the New Orleans National
Bank to evade the orders which have
been addressed to you by the Postmaster
General. In pursuance of the statutes oi
the United States, intended to protect the
mails and the public against business
which is vicious and immoral, and which
in the main preys upon the ignorant anC
| credulous, the Louisiana National Banf
cannot be permitted to stand in the
shoes OF NJ. A. Dauphin, and thus enable
him to accomplish by indirect means wha
he is not allowed to do directly. There
| fore, hereafter you will deliver to the New
6lIfl.rn5 rIaoIoniI Dafik no registered letters
nor redeem any mOney-orders payable to it
| but deal with it the same as directed by
the department on November Is, 1879
This order will be revoked whenever the
bank gives satisfactory evidence that il
has abandoned the above scheme. Very
respectfully,
| W. Q. GRESHAM, Postmaster General

Some Interesting figures by John Roach

statement by John Roach, relative to the
recent history of the American navy and
merchant marine in response to questions
put to him by the Senate Committee on

the naval expenditures since 1860, and
gives summary of all naval contracts
with American-ship builders. Roach
claims that his figures are all newly col

that they establish the responsibility on
England and the Justification of Secretary
Stewards prophecy of a speedy suppression
of the rebellion. He gives a list
of twenty-three English blockade.
