POOR LlLlANl

Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett, the
antl-lynchins apostle trom Boston,
who tired to lecture before a ne
gro. Baptis. convention in Rich
mond last week and was s.ubbed,
and who was afterwards hung IN
effigy, has received many hard
iolts from the Southern press, but
it has remained for a New Eng
land paper, the Hartford Times,
to speak of her as san impertinent
person and notoriety seeker" !"
We suspect that this young woman
has been badly dealt with-that
she deserves mere charity than
she receives.-She is evidently in
sane.-Ghallotte Observer.
If Miss Jewett is insane she is
truly to be pitied, for her malady
takes most peculiar form. Her
unnatural sympathy for black
fienos who commit chimes against
her sex is AS unaccountable to Il
respectable white person as the
fondness of the female "snake
chsrmern for the boa-constrictor
whose shiny folds encircle her
neck.

No pen picture can convey an
adequate idea of the awful havoc
wrought. The scene battles de-

dollars was contributed to her re-
lief. Again, within the past few
years, when the sea-islands. and
the coast of Beaufort were desc

was sent, from every quarter OF

neer in Cleveland tannery. has at last
discovered remedy that grows hair
on bald heads. For several years he
was IN the frCnt-seat theatre class. but
now he has a fine head OF hair. 4 few
weeks ago Mulchay's hair began to
grow. At first tiny fuzz came out
and it was not long before a well-de-
velopcd head OF hair was in evidence.
Mulchay asked a doctor to explain the
now growth. The physician asked him
what he had been doing. He said he
had been working under a belt. He
was told his hair had been sprouted by
electricity.
IN consequence of the cases of small
poX which have occurred in New York
city lately the demand for vaccine
virus by physicians to use in their
practice exceeds all demands in previ-
Gus years. The corps of vaccinators
sent out by the health department has
been increased and the scope of their
lahorS viii be Widened. They will
hereafter visit the better class of apart
ment houses ana private dwellings up
town. and satisfactory proof must be
presented to them that the necessary
precaution has been taken. If it has
not they will take it themselves. 1t is
estimated that by the end of this week
more than 100000 persons will have
been vaccinated in the borough OF
Manhattan alone.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinl1ham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
