came very much debilitatei, and the least
labor was burden. feared that II would
terminate In BrlEht's Disease. as there were
the symptoms. She had no appetite at times.
She tri'd several medicines, but only received
temporary relief from any Of them until she
commenced using Hunts Remedy, which
was recommended 10 US BY druggi Smith. Of
Auburn, saying that II had been used BY q
eood many with the greatest success for the
cure Of kidney. liver, and bladder troubles.
She commenced using 1t. and found By the
use Of only one bottle she had been relieved
OF the pains in her back, had regained her
appetite, and could rest we'll and attend 10
her household duties, and We can truly say
that Hunts Remedy Is a most wonderful
medicine, and oheerfully recommend It 10

The Ledger on linton Street


The LEDGER establishment is fair
ly moved and settled down at No. II
Union street, and adapted to the situ-
ton. Its patrons have likewise ac-
cepted the situation, and old friends
and business follow it up. 1t cost
something OF pang to leave Madison
street, where the LEDGER was pub
lished over eighteen years, and so
many pleasant and intimate relations
were formed, but the move was bus
mess necessity-brought about by the
gradual growth Of the paper, the job
Office and hook bindery, and the run
Of prosperity that has set in all over
the South, and more especially at
Memphis. The new place is centrally
located and admirably adapted to the
business. With a ground floor space
of 2l0x22l feet running back from
Union suited for ir south to
a wide, we'll paved alley,
there is sufficient room but not
too much for the business Office, job
department and the various presses,
four Of which are run by steam.
There is a cellar ofthe same size IN

before. 1t is certainly secure in its

equipped. 1t is the largest newspaper
establishment in the South, md has
arrived at this gratifying eminenc5
simply by hard work, fair dealing with
men and with questions seconded and

Mr.. Arnold and Boston.
n. Y. Tribuns,L


A Boston journal OF culture thinks
1t was a great stroke OF luck for the
rich men Of New York that Matthew
Arnold was so nearly inaudible in
Chickering Hall. They could not
have understood him anyway, even on
such a theme as Numbers, and il
was very convenient to save their
selisrespect by complaining that they
could not hear him. But when he
should come TO Boston and begin 10
discourse on Emerson" -ah then.
indeed. Well, Boston seems to have
been revealing in anticipation Of a
solid feast Of the incomprehensible.
The Concord School Of Philosophy
should be eclipsed, and the rich men
OF New York put to shame
We hope that Boston will not be
disappointed; but the fact is that one
Of the most striking characteristics d
Mr.. Arnold as an essayist, and one q
bis most effective qualifications as 4
lecturer, is his transparent clearness
He may go deep enough into Emerson
to satisfy even a Boston audience but
he will make his thought plain enough
even for the rich men Of New York
His resolute insistence upon lucidity
is carried so f.r that il becomes M
source Of his principal literary fault
namely, the inartistic reiteration ofan
idea in an unvarying phrase. FoI
example, in one Of his prefaces he de-
lines the qualities Of a serviceabl,
prose style to be regularity, uniform
ity, precision, balance" and in Tho
course Of short page and a half he
states this formula six times without
the change Of word, The repetition
grows annoying; we feel that Mr.. Ar
mold would have made his definition
more accurate if he had added yariet,
to the other qualities Of seryiceabl,
prose style; but while he has sacrificed
literary charm in this passage, he ha,
made his thought absolutely clear an.
liked the attention Of the most yagr1n
mind. This is an extreme illustra
ton OF his occasional manneriSm i
style, but It Is a perfectly character
lstic exampl e Of his method of working
We fear that he cannot be oloudi
