Mrs. Fisk, wife of Gen. Clinton B. Fisk,
organized the first relief society in war
times, opened the first school for freedmen
in the Mississippi Valley, and taught it
herself in Arkansas, dividing her time
between hospital and school. She worked,
and journeyed, and nursed the sick and
wounded all through the war. She was
one of the chief spirits in organizing the
Fisk School, at Nashville, which grew into
the Fisk University she gave and col
lected funds for the furnishing of Jubilee

woman's missionary work in her church,

In Walter 5. Springer the Prohibition
lists have put in the field a man against
whom naught can be urged. A good cit
izeu and an uneompromisiug temperance
man, lie deserves and should receive the
vote of every temperance man in the coun-
ty. Let no Prohibitionist desert him.
There is no reason why he should not have
the full Prohibition vote aud a largely in
creased one at that.

1t appears from this showing that the
Democrats are fairly assured of 1872 elee,

IT is to be regretted that President
Caldwell could not have left Della
ware College which has supported
him for several years, with little
more kindly feeling in his heart.
His abdication was chiefly remark
able for the reprehensible and vim
dictive spirit shown in his last mes
sage to the trustees who were his
benefactors. DR.. Caldwell's last
thrust at the college was received by
the trustees with an set tn Brute re-
proach and his structures on the for
mer administration and even the
trustees themselves was nobly an
swered by DIR. Purnell, the former
president whose conduct toward the
college has always been the most
friendly and loyal, and who fur
nishes an excellent, christian exam
pie to the late president. All friends
of the college and Of President Cald-
well can not but regret the latter's
dismal failure as a college president
and his attack upon the honesty of
the time honored institution while
they join in the hope that his minis
trations to his church will be crown
ed with more success and marked
by a different spirit.

The LEDGER was arraigned by his
excellency, Governor Benz. T. Biggs,
at the meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees. If we were in the wrong we
deserved all be said about us. At
the time our paper went to press last
week the report was current that the
Governor had failed to keep his
promise. This he most emphatical-
ly denies, and declares he waited
several hours for the expected Trus-
tee. There seems to be some mis-
understanding, and the charges pre-.
terred against his excellency were
not correct, so he says.

Now that the Bell telephone monopoly
has been formally legalized thy he United
States Supreme Court, it may be in order
for the various state legislatures to stepin
and save the telephone companies. In
Indiana a state law has already been
passed limiting the charge in that state
for telephone service to $50 year. The
charge inthe city ofSt. Louis is to be linn
ting to $50 year by ordinance of city
councils. The monstrous swindle of char
ging what the service will bear" for the
use ofan insterment ofwhich the orig
lnal cost Of manufacture is but S342 has
built up within the last 10 years gigantic
fortunes for the telephone monopolists.

shall be checked they will soon become
too powerful to be controlled by ordinary
methods Of legislation Phild. Record.

Wretched men and women long con-
demned to suffer the fortunes of dyspep-
STA, are filed with new hope after a few
doses of Hostetters Stomach Bitters. This
budding hope blossoms into the fruition
of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in.
1t brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics
who seek its aid. Flatulence, heart
burn, sinking at the pit of the stomach
between meals, the nervous tremors and
insomania of which chronic indigestion
is the parent, disappear with their hate
full progenitor. Most benefcient of
stomachics who can wonder that in so
many instances it awakens grateful elo-
quence in those who. benefited by it,
speak voluntarily in its behalf 1t re-
quires a graphic pen to describe the
torments of dyspepsia, but in many OF
the testimonials received by the propri-
etors of the Bitters, these are portrayed
with vivid truthfulness. Constipation,
biliousness, muscular debility, malaria
fevers and rheumatism are relieved by it
