WINSLOW vs. CARR AND CAMERON

WINSLOW vs. CARR AND CAMERON.
Lieut.. Francis Winslow, late COM
mander of the Naval Battalion, pub
fishes an open letter to Gov. Carr in
Sundays Wilmington Messenger, in
which he appears to efectually bottle
up his Excellency and Adjutant Cen
eral Cameron. In concluding his let
ter Mr.. Winslow says:
You are the official head of great
party; party which is noted for its
conservatism; party which is funda-
mentally opposed to personal power
and particularly averse to its arbitrary
exercise. The power which you have
invoked in this instance, is that given
by an obsolete St tute. | have no
knowledge of its having ever been used
before. The power is entirely person
al. Its exercise has heen absolutely
arbitrary. Its Justification has yet to
be found; for while the Adjutant Cen
eral has denied the truth ofmy accuse
tons, he has not yet found courage to
| publish the correspondence with the
Navy Department which ought, if he
IS correct, support his denial.
But more important still is another
consideration. 1t may be for the good
of the service that the entire Guard
should be absolutely in the power OF
the Governor and Adjutant General
but IS 1t for the good of the public? l
am aware that the power of the Gov
ernor is supposed to be very limited
| that 1t has even been said to be con-
fined to the issuance of commissions
to the Notaries and pardons to Male
factors. | can understand that an in
cumbent of the office would be pleased
at any extension of SO limited an au.
thorlty and think some measure o.
gratitude due me for establishing the
law that the 5000 men of which the
Guard may be composed must be en-
tlrely subservient to Your Excellency
But agreeable as this access of powe,
may be to you and the Adjutant Gen
eral, do you believe that it will be a
pleasing to the people of the State
And will the transmission of the legac,
of 1876 be as agreeable to you as thu
inheritance?
l am content to leave to the publ,
the decision as to the iuS,ice of vou
action towords me. do not ask
challenge the publication of the CORE
spondence with the Navy Department
1t It does not support my statements
Will cheerfully acknowledge my erro
and retract any reflections l may hav
cast. But until that correspondence
IS published the real issue has not beel
met-but has been evaded.

the best physicians. l found no relief.
One of my limbs was so swollen and
inf1amed that the doctors found it nee.
essary to keep it 1anced, and the bone
became so diseased that several pieces
were discharged through the opening.
1t is impossible TO describe the suffer
ing had to endure; sometimes able
to hop around on crutches, and again
unable to turn myself in bed. Iwas
so reduSed in health that I weighed
only eighty pounds.
"After lingering for three years,
having been treated by four doctors,
was finally told that 1 was incurable.
and that would have to submit to the
painful operation of having the bone
scraped, or it would be necessary to
amputate the limb. This I positively
refused to submit to.

The above is but one of the many
wonderful cures being made daily by
SIS. Experience has shown that thu
doctors are absolutely unable TO cure
diseases Of the blood. and of the many
blood remedies offered to the public
to-day, S. S. S. is the only one which
cures obstinate and deep-seated cases.
For real blood troubles, S. s. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the

How to Treat a Wife.
(FrOm Pacific Health Journal }

First, get a wife, second be patient. You
may have great trials and perplexities in
your business, but do not therefore. carry
to your home a cloudy or contracted brow.
Your wife may have trials, which, though
Of less magnitude. may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. TO this we would add al
ways keep a bottle of Chambcrlain's Cough
Remedy in the house. 1t is the best and is
sure to be needed sooner or later. Your

for her and wish to protect her health For

A CHARITABLE PRINCESS.
As princesses are known not so much
by what they have as by what they give,
this American princess steps far over the
royal boundary in her beneiactions- These.
besides being numerous, are generic. She
has certain set charities which she sup
ports herself.
In st. ,Barlholomew's Church, where she
Is IA member, there S a charity for small
children, which looks TO Miss Vanderbilt
yearly for its sustenance. She gives 1t
not only clothing and cast-off things. but
money, checks, gold, and dollars-actual
dollars.
Another charity-and this one is said To
be almost entirely sustained by her-is
the institution OF st. Bartholomew's Mis-
sion. This occupies n large building in
business quar.er of New York, and
reaches out It's arms in every conceivable
direction. Men find work and children
find food. Nothing but can be got here.
Educa ions are the smallest of the gifts.
References of character and recommended
lions are given al merely So many gracious
words.
To this charity Miss Vanderbilt goes
often in person. And to IT she gives i'm
mense sums. II would not be fair to say
that she supports il, for this would cost
perhaps a million year. but II her private
contribution were withdrawn year the
mission would lack all things sadly.
Privately, this American princess gives
away stacks. No other word tells it.
