DR.. Pinckney FrcEch informs
the LEDGER that two of the chill

smallpox in Il pronounced form,
Arnold himself is suffering with
varioloid. DIR. French states that
the news was conveyed to this city
on a postal card, written by the
sick man to Il son whose post-office
is Mexico. The card passed
through the mails here and mas de-
livered in the regular manner be-
fore it was known that it came from
a house of pestilence. Such care
lessness in inexcusable, but it is
hoped that Providence will prevent
such dire results as are altogether
apt to come 10 pass. The message
on the back of the postal concluded
with the ca~utionary line, "Be sure

the Ferris Grand Opera House
Saturday evening, was a glowing
success. The concert was given in
the interest Of the Promenade
Street NJ. E. Church, South, to
assist in the purchase OF uphol-
stored chairs for the auditorium of
that church, and more than one
hundred dolla.s. clear of the heavy
expenses, were realized. The pro-
gramme rendered by the superb
presentation of talent was an ex-
eellent one, altogether appreciated
by the large and fashionable audi
ence. Mr.. VIM. Mather Porteous,
a finished pupil of Charles Adams,
Of Boston, is a baritone of the very
first rank and with his first appear
ance Saturday evening he capt.
waited his hearers. His solo, a
''Bedouin Love Song" Pinsuti, was
rapturously received, and in re-
spouse to an encore, Mr.. Porteous
sang 1.-The Friar." For the first
time in the West, the 'Storm
Fiend" was sung by Mr.. Porteous
and in u manner that delighted the
audience. Mr.. Porteous has a
voice of delicious quality and NOR
Vicious power. Miss Morris prom
ises that he will sing in Mexico
again. The bowling Of Miss Agnes
Gray, the young violinist who Is
yet in her teens, captured the audi
ence Saturday evening and in re-
Spouse to an encore, n Hungarian
fantasy vas played. All that is in
her S~tradivarius was brought out,
and by her brilliant execution and
technique she proved herself az
artiste OF the first quality. Miss
Gray will be heard from n o
these days. Mrs. Hardy has {
style peculiarly her own, one tina
is catchy" and attractive. For {
contralto her voice is of wonderful
range. Mrs. Atkinson is a finished
musician of brilliant execution
Both she and Mrs. Hardy respond
ed to encores. Miss Dickinson,
brilliant pianist, was the accom-
pianist. Miss Morris is to be con
graduated on the of he
concert.

Nav RIsnton as Good as the

Trial.

The following letter was re-

from Miss Harmon, foster sister of
little May BIanton, whose interest
ing story has doubtless been read
by every reader of the LEDGER:
10 the Editor of tie Ledger.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 10
The life of May Harmon is entirely
from any blemish. We took
the little girl from doctor and his
wife, who brought her here from
Carthage, which place was former
ly her home. We have carefully
reared her and thisis the first act
of serious disobedience she was
ever guilty of. She is an mex
perienced child, knowing nothing
Of the world or the horror OF beng
thrown out on her own resources
III such a manner as this. 1t is a
mistake that she was we sent from
home by anyone. She was angry
and left without our knowledge.
There has been much stated i'll the
papers that is utterly untrue, and
We trust you will deal lightly with
the matter.

He claims that his measure is i'm
the interest of the agricultural
classes, and for the purpose of en-
couraging and developing the
agricultural, horticultural and
material interests of the State.
But it appears that some of the
bucolic constituents of Mr.. Clark
do not take kindly to his proposed
bill, and they have in advance of
its introduction, sent to Senator
Clay of the am county, "a very
vigorous and emphatic protest
against Its passage. 1t onae in
