A Card from Ex-senator Spencer.
MORGAN, NEVADA, Oct. Both. 1883.


To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
A friend has sent to me copy of your paper
of the 18th inst. in which appears a synopsis of
lecture delivered by John r. French entitled
''Ten years among the Senator's" French is
therein reported to have said that "a Senator
from Alabama. who afterward ran away from
the star route trial. was the only Senator he ever
heard Of who tried to exc out his salary in the
Senate by partnership in a gambling house." It
Is not now my purpose to refer to my conduct
in relation to the star route trials But pro-
pose to denounce and do denounce as a wiliful.
deliberate lie, without the faintest shadow of q
foundation in tact the statement that l was a
partner in gambling house.
Soon after l became Senator discovered
that French was sneak. and did not try to
conceal my contempt for him. For eight Years
of my Senatorial life l did not permit him to
speak to me. By your account OF the lecture,
it appears that the characters of Senators Nor
ton and Conkling failed to please French.
recollect that the opinions which these two
Senator'S entertained of French were. the same
as my own and that they did not permit him to
address them. He now seeks the characteristic
revenge Of a cOwardy sneak.

There f1gl Is for us the Proper One,
By God himself selected
Ask you who free us?
II Is Christ Jesus
The Lord Sabaoth,
There Is no other God:
He'll hold the field OF battle.
And were the world with devils filled.
All waiting to devour us;
Wen still succeed. so God hath wtlled.
They cannot OverpOwer us:
The prince Of this world
To he'll shall be hurled;
He seeks to alarm,
But shall do us no harm
The smallest word can fell him.
The Word they still must let remain
And for that have no merit;
He Is with us upon the plain,
BY His good gifts and Spirit
Destroy they our life,
GoouS, fame, child and wife?
Let all pass amdin,
They still no conquest gain,
For ours in still the kingdom.

THE BURNING OF OYSTER SHELLS
There are two establishments In the city for
the burning Of oyster shells into lime, and they
have been the subject OF numerous complaints
as to the offensive odOrs emanatng therefrOm
One Of these is the property Of the Washington
gas-iight company, who use the product OF the
kilns at their works, and the other belongs to
one William Smith. Action has been taken
against both OF these works by this department,
and the cases are now awaiting action in the
Criminal Court.
The nuisance arising from the burning of oys-

INSPECTION OF FOOD AND MARINE PRODUCTS
One table presents an exhibit of the various
food products condemned during the year,
while another gives a summary of like informa-
ton for the past eleven years.
In this connection he invites attention to
what has been said in former reports relative to
the necessity for inspection of live stock
He says there is accomplished in the inspec-
ton of marine products just what he would
like to in the inspection Of all food products:
| that u.s. the inspection of the material in bulk
before it is placed upon the market.
The fish. oysters. &C.. are all inspected in the
boats that bring them to our Wharyes and the
work most satisfactorily done.
We know that marine products are not thrown
in bulk upon our market when in bad condition
and stuff which is at all suspicious can be readily
traced.
This is Just what would be ACCOMPLISHED nv
an inspector Of live stock.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Necessitating a Surgical Operation-Loy-
ing Mother Attempts to Take a Pair
of Shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women,
and some eff them are very serious. Mrs. War
ner, of South Rondout Ulster Co. n. Y.,some
weeks ago attempted to take from her child
a pair of shears with which it was playing. A
slight struggle ensued, in which the point OF
the shears entered Mrs. Warmers left eye,en-
tirely destroying the sight. Her family ply
sician did what he could, but intensely pain
full Inflammation arose, which, by sympathy,
threatened the loss of the other eye. Total
blindness to a woman having the care OF a
household is an irretrievable calamity. In
this strait Mrs. W. applied to the well known
and skillful surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y, who removed the injured
eye by very successful operation, setting
aside all danger of further harm to the sight
OF the other eye. But, owing to pain and
mental distress, her system needed tonic
and restorative medicine. To do this work
the doctor prescribed "Kenpedy's Favorite
Remedy" which sustained its reputation and
laid q sure foundation of health.
DR.. Kennedy's ''Favonte Remedy" removes
all impurities from the blood, regulates the
liver and kidneys. Cures constipation, aud
| all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to fe-
males. 1t is for sale by all our druggists at
one dollar q bottle. 1854

Mrs. SwIssHEIM, whose two children
were in Milwaukee at the time of the
Newhall disaster, writes TO the Pittsburg
Dispatch, that only one week before the
fire, the Mr.. johnson, who with his wife
jumped from a third story window and
were dashed to death on the pavement be-
low, tried TO insure their furniture, but the
insurance man to whom they applied re-
fused the risk. A friend of Mrs. johnson,
three days before the fire, urged her TO
quit the hotel, but she laughingly pointed
10 the iron ladder at the window-the very
ladder which her hand almost touched
when she and her husband jumped TO their
death, but which was overlooked in the
frenzy of the moment Mrs. Swisshelm
concludes from this and other like Incl
dents of the Newhall burning that our sys-
tenn of education poorly prepares people
for the exigencies of life and sensibly adds
that if less time is spent in teaching chill
dren TO recite "The Raven" and The
Light Brigade" and more to teaching
them presence of mind in danger, they
would be better fitted 10 live.
