The Charge Against Her Brother Dis
missed.

Mrs. Emma Uhler. who became no.
torious last Spring by figuring in a
shooting scrape in which her paramount
was the victim, and her brother the
slayer, died in the New York Hospital
last Wednesday from morphine poison
ing. On the 10th of last March Will
bur II. Haverstick, broker, who lived
with this woman, was shot and killed
by her brother, George w. Conkling, q
surveyor in the service OF the Govern
ment. The latter, understanding that
his sister had been enticed away from
her husband by Haverstick, visited
their rooms aud tried to induce her to
leave her paramour. Haverstick com.
ing in a quarrel took place between him
and Conkling, when the latter drew o
revolver and shot the other in the ABB
domen. Haverstick died in a few
hours. Conkling was arrested but was
released on bail. Mrs. Uhler disap-
peared from view and for time was in
this State with her brother. Many
will remember seeing her at the depot
as she passed through soon after her
paramour was killed, as she courted no.
toriety. and took particular pains to
make herself conspicuous. She soon
returned to New York City. where for
some months she has been living in va
rious disreputabls houses. AS she was
the only witness to the shooting of
Havers,ick the charge against her broth
or was dismissed the day she died.

The moral corn-cob pipe is the latest de-
vice TO rescue the world from sin. On the
bowl is pasted a text of Scripture rebnking
the users besetting sin. If he is intemper-
s.e he is warned 10 ''iook not ON the wiue
when 1t is red;'' If thief, as be smokes he
gszes on the commandment, Thou shalt
not sleal;'' if aSabbath breaker he is en-
joined to remember the Sabbath day."
The author of this great invention an
nounces that he can fit any form of depravi-
ty and expects to do much good with it.
He has sent one TO the Prince of Wales with
request that he shall smoke it at court and
thus set the fashion in pipes. He is going
to send one to Cleveland as soon as Cleve-
land is inaugurated. BY and by saloons will

Mr.. O'Hara the colored Congressman from
from North Carolina has played it sharp on
the Southern Democrats supporting the
Reagan bill. he argued that if the general
government could interfere to prevent dis
criminston in rates of freight it could inter
fere to prevent discrimination between pas
sengers who pay The same fare. he offered
an amendment TO that end and it was adopt
ed; but the Southern members discovered
that this meant that colored people may
ride with white people, and moved recon-
sideration. The House adjourned to think
the matter over and there was an interesting
debate upon the subject yesterday.

Mrs. Jackson's talents seem to have
reached heir full development in her recent
novel Ramona" which is undoubtedly a
great literary success. The book is written
with purpose, and from the standpoint of
the writer's own knowledge and observation.
Il is purely American novel, and the scene
OF the story is in Upper California on
sheep rancho. The book is notably a study
OF Indian character-what it is, and what it
is capable of becoming by development and
guilty tion. Ramona the heroine, half
breed, daughter of Seol Gilman and an Iu-
dian woman, is a picturesque and exquisite
figure, and her Indian lover, Alesandro,
possesses all the noble qsulilies which the
highest civilization could produce. The
moral aim of the work is to plead the cause
OF the United States indians against their
unjust treatment by our Government. En-
ihusiastic aud sympathetic, Mrs. Jackson's
is the ideal Indian. BY the wiicnery of her
pen he becomes poem, an idyl, everything
hat is refined. elevated and interesting.
But with this we fnd no fault, for the ro-
nance is delightful. The characters are
drawn with skill and dsfiuctness, the back
ground of scenery is full of local color and
light, and the story is dramatic and artistic.

A Wonderful Cui :.

A very imp ,rtant cure, thr6u y the
use of tea made from dry chestnut leaves,
has been brought to our attention, and
as it is well authenticated we publish it
in the hope that others may be benefited
thereby. Mrs. Sheridan, wife of Mr..
John Sheridan, of the 18th district, and
mother of Mr.. Columbus Sheridan, Of this
place, was afflicted with dropsy, and,
notwithstanding the careful attention of
an experienced physician, she grew worse
and had given up all hope of ever getting
well. Finally her son, Rev. J. NJ. Sl!er-
idau, a minister of the Methodist Pro-
testant Church, who was then stationed
in one of the lower counties of Mary land,
heard of Il case where tropsy had been
cured by the use of tea made from dry
chestnut leaves. He informed his mother
and she at once commenced TO nSe the
tea. disseminating all other l NEEDLES.
In very short time she experienced all
Improvement and in about four months
she was entirely cured Mrs. Sheridan
is about seventy years of. age and now
considers herself healthy woman, al
| though she still uses little of the tea
occasionally. Her address is Gunpowder,
