Mrs. William Downes, of Uxbridge, Mass writes
on March 10, 1888, as follows:-
During the past three years Ihave been great
sufferer from complication of diseases which
baffled the skill of the most experienced doctors.
ss could not obtain permanent relief by their
treatment and prescriptions; and have also tried
many so-called cures in the medicine line but
could get no relief. The pains, aches, and weak
ness increased 80 rapidly and constantly that
was so reduced in strength as to be unable to
leave the bed, and the DOCTORS inf rmed me that
there was no hope Of a recovery. In this exhaus
ted and discouraged condition a dear friend per-
suaded me to use Hunts Remedy, and after tax
ing il only three days commenced to get b tier.
Bnd to my great JOY and delight have continued
TO improve constantly by its use until now, aftel
having taken the remedy only a lew Wees l an

A BAD HISTORY.
Some Events in the Life of st. Louis
Woman Lately Murdered.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-A resident of this city
gives the following account of the life of the
woman Mrs Shepard, who was murdered in
New York the other day by her husband,
who had learned of her laisdeeds and he
volunteered to tell the story if his name
could be withheld 1t was in substance as
follows:
Il think il was about 1852 that Miss Muir
ray lived in st Louis. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr. Murray, who was of the firm
of Murray Miller & Co, operators of the
Missouri State Lottery company, and was
very beautiful young girl She was received
in the best society, was very popular. and
was admired by everybody. Seymore You'll
lair was at chat time young lawyer there,
and he acquired a considerable local
reputation in his profession. He was
cripple. one of his legs being
shorter than the other, and he walked
with an ungainly limp. Otherwise he was
pretty fair-looking young fellow, brilliant
conversationaGst, and quite popular. The
two young people were about of the same
age, and they met one evening in society. In
the course of their conversation he told her
that be knew his personal appearance was
made him odious to other people. She ex-
pressed great sympathy for him, and at their
subsequent meetings this developed into a
mutual admiration which resulted III their
marriage
"Of course it was something of a sensation
at the time that young Voullaire should have
WOO the hand of the pretty Miss Murray.
The Young couple lived happily together in
| st l0uis for a number of years. As time
passed on it was quietly noised about that
there was something wrong between Mr.
Voullaire and a young man named Charles
Ruth. who was connected with The Missouri
Republican. but not much was said. One
day the community was startled by
| the reports of personal street
encounter between Voullaire and Ruth.
| It was said that tho friends
of Ruth had told him of Voullaire's threat to
''fx the fellow" when they met, and when
they did meet on the street one day both
pulled revolvers at the same time and fired.
Ruth fell to the sidewalk, wounded, and
Voullaire believing that he had killed his
rival, walked nurriedly away. Subsequent
B Voullaire applied for divorce, and it
was granted. Then Mrs Voullaire and Ruth
went to Lawrence, Kan, where they were
married, and where he became book-keeper OF
The Lawrence Tribune.
while these events were transpiring in St
Louis was in college at Marietta, o. John
Medlicott was classmate of mine there His
| father was one Of the most cultured and re-
fined Irish gentlemen ever met, and besides
his son John he had three daughters. John
| was looked upon in the college and in the
town as most exemplary young man. HI

THE WAIF OF THE Battlefield

To-day met lady whose talents as a
musician and whose remarkable beauty
had attracted my attention. She possessed
that rare type of pretLiness that is wholly
Southern-great deep blue eyes, the face
perfect in every feature hair rich in its
tint. This is her story: Twenty years
ago, when the tide of battle swept oven
the terrible field of Manassas, IA baby girl
was left an orphan on the battle ground
During the changes of the fateful day the
home of the blue-eyed girl was at one
time directly between the fire of both
armies. As the first shots whistlcd above
the house the parents started to flee for a
place Of refuge. A dozen yards from the
door both were shot down, and the baby,
an orphan, without sister or brother, was
alone ia the world. The battle ragged
on, dead and dying were everywhere.
nut the, baby was uuhaFmed. The day
wore away, and just as the suns rays,
half hidden in the curling smoke, kissed
the earth good night, General Jubal Ear
ly, riding by, heard the babN's cIies. He
dismounted, and, taking the little waif
up cared for it until he could place it uu-
der the care of his sisters They watched
it through its infantile years, giving it an
education and world of love- and now
that baby, grown up to womanhood,
lovely and accomplished, the pet of a
wide circle of friends, who call her
'waif, is the sole support of these two
women, sisters of the rebel general If |
should write her name it would not be a
strange one here, for all the city knows

Teller did not decide the question. Commits
sioner Gregory called on Acting Secretary
Joslyn and protested in vigorous language
against what he styled usurpation of the
rights and perquisites of the civil-service
commission. If Seaton's plan should be car
ried out it would prevent the commission
from making any appointment in the inter
ior department for a year to come.
Looking at this side of the ease Joslyn was
moved with compassion for the irate ceui-
missioner Seaton's proposition has never
been before the department. He said, land
nothing can be done in advance of its pre-
sentatioD" Gregory then withdrew to con
suit with his colleagues. Joslyn remarked
after he left that it would be unjust to give
the census employees iudefuite leave for the
purpose of transferring them to the depart
ment, but hs thought it would be all right 10
give theu two or three months leave for that
purpose they were all competent clerks,
and were better qualified to perform the du,
ties required than any graduates from tile
civil service board could be.
