Pollard that Rhodes had been told she
had position in Cincinnati when she
was sent away to prepare for her first
confinement, and her second statement
that Rhodes thought she was a travel
ing companion at that time. These in
consis tent statements. said Maj. Butter
worth, were the result of the attempt
of Miss Pollard to square her story.

Mai. Butterworth, "or Madeline Pollard
never gave birth to baby at St.

COMMUNICATED.
The Infrnary.


Mrs. Stowe, of Richmond, has not
been appointed to succeed Miss Adams
as matron Of the Alexandria Irfrmary
The possibility of doing so was condi-
toned on the consent of the ladies to
whom she is now engaged and on her
entire freedom from their claims upon
her. As yet no reply from the lady
who engaged her and who recommends
ed her to us has been received. The
delay has caused us to look elsewhere.
Miss Adams's resignation does not take
effect until July, unless we can fill her
place earlier. Miss Cough, an English
lady, fills Miss Wilson's place for the
time and the services of a surgical nurse
are ready for surgical cases. As the In
Urinary has been conducted for % years
with the rules and bylaws which have
maintained order and harmony amongst
Us, although we are subject to a very
complicated system, SO will 1t be con-
tinued until we, as others have done
during all these years, shall yield our
charge to our successors. The annual
report of the board of managers with
those of the Kings Daughters and aux
iiary societies of the institution is a
history OF its workings. The audited
account of the institution drawn from
the bank account of Burke & Herbert
and signed by Col. Herbert, gives every
item of receipts and expenditure. The
matron gives the amount of house en-
penses, number of patients, etc. The
managers report, with notice of all the
workings of the institution, the itemized
report of all subscriptions received
through the churches of the city, whose
ministers have charge of religious ser
vices in rotation, are recorded as also
record of all the work done by the
Kings Daughters and other societies in
charge of various rooms. To them at
regularly appointed times the matron
gives account of all things placed by
them in her charge, they replacing all
losses by breakages, etc. Thus are the
managers released from heavy re-
spousibility and the labor is divided.

of Congress upon the tariff bill will be
