DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN,; COLUMBUS GEORGIA,, FRIDAY MORNING,
JUNE 11, 1886.
SUnditr. .
Two cases of slander of your\g girls have re-~
cently occurrcd-oue in Memphis and the other
in Montgomery—with, however, very different
result h.
The one from Memphis is foM by tin? Times*
Democrat as follows:
•Miss Mantle Fixer, who found herself a victim
of a scurrilous story,, took a novel way of meeting
it without a father or brother to vindicate her
and punish her assailants. Bhe ftnd her mother
appealed to the public to take her case in hand
and to show the totally of the scandals and the
purity of her character.
••A public meeting was called at the Peabody
hotel to consider the matter, which brought to
gether a large assemblage of the best citizenso!
Memphis, most of them gray haired tot hers, who
were deeply moved at the sight of an innocent
girl, fatherless and brotherless, struggling with
scandal undappealing to the strong seme ol a jus
tice, toiruess and humanity that every honest
man feels. A committee was appointed to inves
tigate the matter, consisting of the most eminent
citizens of Memphis the president of its council,
the editor of the Appeal, and others.
“A thorough investigation was made, which
completely vindicated the young lady, ami the
slanders circulated about her were traced to their
source.
“The report of the committee declares: We
have reached a unanimous conviction and con
clusion that the reports are wholly and absolute
ly false in substance and in fact, in the abstract
and in concrete, in whole and in part, and we de
clare that she has been accused without cause
judged without hearing, condemned without ev
idence, and cruelly wronged under circumstances
which demand adequate repnratii n. We sym
pathize with her family and herself, and pledge
to them our earnest efforts, socially and other
wise. to undo the wrong she has sutfered.’
“This rej>ort has been approved by a meeting
of eminent citizens, hankers, merchants, clergy
men and others, and Miss Filer stands vindi
cated before* the world.
"It is a sad condition of affairs that demanded
such a public trial and demonstration as this to
clear a young lady's reputation, but it is a condi
tion of affairs that unfortunately frequently ex
ists, not only in Memphis but elsewhere. When
scandal attacks a reputation it is difficult to
know how to meet it. A father or brother may
cowhide the slanderer, but it does not always
kill the lie, which travels as last as ever, but if
there is no father or brother—as in the case of
Miss Fizer- -must the young lady go on forever
bearing this horrible burden
In the other case the poor girl did not have the
courage to face the world, and prefering death to
disgrace, put an end to her life. She tells her
own story in the following touching letter :
Dear l’ana and Mother—Before you receive this
letter I will be dead- -insensible to"all heartaches.
If you only knew how I Jon^ to be at rest. All
the harsh and cruel accusations have stung me
to the quick. If the world could only know how
horrible slander is it would be slow to rob a girl
of her honor. My honor was my all. All your
love, my darlings, though lavished on me failed
to relieve my heartache entirely. Not for one
moment can I cease to think of it.
1 fully realize the awfni crime I am most falsely
accused of. Such a heinous crime to accuse me
of. I never had vile thoughts ever to enter my
mind until I wasaecused of this awful sin. Mean,
low-minded people have taught me their own
vile thoughts. They have stung me to the quick.
They have broken me down. I can never be the
same light-hearted child 1 was. It is useless to
think so even.
It is more than I can bear!
Tt tortures me. It maddens me!
You are old and will join me soon. I could
not bear to think I would even be left alone in
the world. Who would love me? Ah yes, one
other. Willie, There is nothing to live (or when
papa and vou, mother, are gone except him. 1
would indeed be a beggar. Not even a name.
Touch a young girl’s character and it is gone for
ever.
I write this midst scalding tears.
I am so young to die.
I beg y ou, I implore you, to semi for Willie im
mediately.
Tell Willie to kiae me good-by.
Tell him I would put my arms around him if I
could. Get my volumns of Tennyaon’a and I.ong-
fellow's poems and give them to him. Give him
the little blue ring which you will find with the
books. Tell him to draw nis ring fVom my finger
himself. To take the ring above his, also my
padlock bracelet.
Forgive me, papa, mother, for all the anxiety
and pain I h»ve caused you both. Think of me
loviugly. I have nothing to forgive. Once more
I beseech you to telegraph Willie to come imme
diately. lot him bid me good-bye before you
bury me. 1 wish it.
lot him read all this letter. Tell him he may
take me back iu his heart, as I am as pure as one
of his own sisters, 1 love him and I would have
been his wife. Oh, papa and mother, I love you
-both. Give my love to dear little M .
Believe me pure, papa, mother.
Good-bye. Lovingly, Williis.
EXPERIENCED TRAVELERS.
>lnterUlnliig Sights an the ( heap Kienndon Hosts.
Detroit Freo Press.
The rivalry now existing between the
lines of river steamboats, by which it is
possible to ride a hundred or more miles
lor twenty-five cents, has resulted in at
tracting large crowds of excursionists to
the city each day and therein it is a great
benefit to the city. It is said, also, that the
steamboat rivals arc doing well by the
boom. The most interesting feature ofthe
matter is furnished by the scores of men
and women, of all ages, who live from five
to twenty miles back of St. Clair river
on the Canadian shore, and who are
■enjoying their first ride on a steamboat
and their first visit to Detroit. “Thev
assume the air of experienced travelers,"
said one ofthe steamboat officials, “and it
is laughable to see the ‘broaks’ they make.
It seems a matter of much interest to
them that we don’t stop the boat at every
house along the river, and they can’t uii-
.derstand why boats don’t run into each
other when going so fast in opposite direc
tions. It is really appalling, the ignorance
of the uses of steam anil of the science of
navigation which most of them show.”
“They all seem to have plenty of motley,
do they notT”
“I don’t know about that, but thev are
all on the lookout for pickpockets. 1 had
one old man tell me the other day that he
and his wife had lived back of Morpeth
forty years and that they were taking their
first holiday and excursion, and he con
fided in me enough to say that they had
brought #5 along so as to he sure and have
a good time and not get broke. His great
fear was that somebody would pick his
pocket, and he didn't rest easy until I told
him I would see that he got back all right
if he lost his money.
“Do any of them object to such high
passenger rates?”
“Not exactly that, but the other day a
young man got aboard at St Clair without
having bought a ticket, and when tlie col
lectors went around taking up tickets he
was asked why he didn't buy a ticket at
St. Clair.”
“‘That’s all right; I’m up to snuff,’ he
said, ‘how much is it?’
“ ‘Twenty-five cents.’
“The young man paid the fee with con
siderable flourish, and the collector was
about to go on, when the youth shouted so
that everybody on the boat could hear IT

tiful, gay, fhtl bf spirit and vigor. She
married and had four children; her hus
band dit-d and left her ponniless. She
taught school, she painted, she sewed; she
gave herself scarcely time to eat or sleep.
Every thoughl was for her: children, to
educate them, to give tlichi the same
chance which their father 'would have
done:
“She succeeded; sent the briys to college
and the girls to school. When they came
home, pretty refined girls and strong
young men, abreast with all the new ideas
and tastes of their time, she was a worn-
out, common-place old woman. They had
their own pursuits and companions.' She
lingered among them for two or three
years, and then dieil of some sudden failure
hi the brain. The shock woke them to a
consciousness of the truth. They hung
over her, as she lay unconscious,'ill the
agony of grief. The oldest son. as he held
her in his arms, cried :
“•You have been a good mother to us!’
Her face colored again, her eyes kindled
] into a smile, and she whispered, ‘you never
said so before. John.’ Then the light died
, out and she was gone. '
I How many men and women sacrifice their
: own hopes and ambitions, their strength,
| their life-itself, to their children, who nS
■ reive it as a matter of course, and begrudge
a caress, a word of gratitude, in payment
j for all that lias been given to them.
I Hoys, when you come back trom college,
, don't consider that your only relations to
! your father Is to “get. as much money as
1 tin governor will stand.” Look at his
gray hair, his uncertain step, his dim eyes,
I and remember in whose service he 'has
! grown old. You can never pay him the
debt you owe, but at least acknowledge it
before il is too late.

! Baton Rouge, La., JuneS.—Represents
live Waddell, of Winn, to-day introduced
in the house an act for the enumeration
and taxing of dogs. The set makes it the
duty of the assessors through the state,
while assessing the property each year, to
also enumerate the dugs.
For this purpose they shall keep a sepa
rate list, upon which t*e number of dogs
shall be entered, and the list is to be for
warded to the state auditor, whoshallcom
pile the returns. Upon each dog, whether
male or female, a tax shall be levied, the
tax to go to the school fund for each
parish.
This act is not tp be construed as pre
venting the listing and valuation of (logs
as now provided by law, but when so
listed and valued it shall exempt the owner
from further tax for that year.
The introducer of the bill being asked
how many dogs the state contained, said:
“I don’t know, but I do know that Texas
has 7,000,000. The passage of this act will
make dogs property, and will net a con-
sidsrable revenue to the state.”

I.iil,ourlierr‘s Inborn Intuition.
On first looking at Labouchere you would !
call him a perfect man of the world. In
conversation, in particular, the expression i
is one of rare geniality; iu conversa-
, tion in general, while always re- I
I taininghis polite eloquence of manner and |
bland look of interest,one can rarely probe ,
beyond the surface, and can never learn j
what he does not wish one to know. He |
is as deep as the sen, quicker than quick- <
silver, and so wide awake under the seem
ing quiet and uou-chalance of his expres- I
sion that I would advise one never to be i
taken in by his general exterior.
He has such an inborn intuition of men
and women and things; he has traveled so
much, and is such a student of human ua- '
ture and reader of character, that I would |
give him ten minutes after seeing a person,
did he take the trouble to look at one, and
he usually takes the trouble—I would give
him ten minutes to know that person body
and soul, and have him or her laid out on
his inoral dissecting table, any portion nr
member ready to be analyzed, brought
forth, and utilized at a moment’s notice.
The man knows everything under the sun,
and his memory is prodigious, especially
of people, events, faceH, and places. He
hns simply to call upon this storehouse for
any mortal recollection, and memories
come up at his bidding as genii appeared
to Aladdin when rubbing his wonderful
lamp.—Blanche Roosevelt’s lastter.

The annexed testimonial from a well-
known citizen of high character is the.
most convincing argument that can be
given as to the value and merits of Cali-
saya Tonic as the great Southern Remedy :
Atlanta, Ga., September 1st.
Messrs. Westmoreland Bros., Gents.—I
got from you a bottle of Callsaya Tonic for
my little daughter, who had been pros
trated with fever, and was very weak, and
had uo appetite. She had not used more
than hair the bottle before she had an ex
cellent appetite, and regained her strength
with astonishing rapidity. I believe it to
be an excellent tome.
Yours truly, CHARLIE F. HOKE.
Westmoreland’s C'alisaya Tonic, the
great Southern Remedy, is now put, up in
square amber colored quart bottles, with
beautiful lithographic label, and a red
metal cap over the cork, with the follow
ing imprint iu top of cap; “Westmore

A venerable clergyman of Virginia said
lately: “Men of my profession see much of
the tragic side of life. Beside a death-bed
the secret passions, tlie hidden evil as wi II
as the good in human nature, are very
often dragged to light. I have seen men
die in battle, children and young wives iu
their husbands’ arms, but no death ever
seemed so pathetic to me as that of an old
woman, a member of my church.

W. D. (Suit, Druggist, Bi»pus ; Jtid., testi

the very best remedy. Every bottle sold j
has given relief in every case. One man !
took six bottles, and was cured of Rhcu-

Hare, druggist, Belivillc, Ohio, affirms:
“The best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years’ experience, is
Electric Bitters.’’ Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys

two bottles of the Discovery, he was well
and had gained in flesh thirtv-six pounds.
