TOR.—Iii your issue of .the
tere are two cotninunica-
from H 1 '- Edwards, the
other frofal a.“Memberi of Council,”
which Lpwyose to consider/together.
I beg tStve to say to Mr. Edwards
that IdiSuiot “assume gossip.” My
inforni.’giDn was derived from a gen
tleman .who misunderstood the exact
terms used. Mr. Edwards thinks
it to have asked him what
were before making niy
I v do rot agree with
c had uttered a personal
ligand that insult had
:ated to me by a third p ir-
^ihen have been proper
|)| ; .op him for a statement,
•, 'Of |J»e language used,
o present case, where his
.^.T|>eeu directed against uo,
icujutr, and I w^s sjmply
his f nctions in th^ matter of
petition, it was not in
tne to Fitfjsfy myself as
wprds used. X obtained
.tion iVqm, a source satis-
myself and used it pru>
ing, however, “that if Ins
been correctly reported
e and leaving it to
words through the
sucif^c&aracter as woul
press. But now that I have from
Mr. Edwards tlie very words uttered
by him, I am only further convinced
that tlie criticism made by me in my
ist pommunicalion was, and is still,
properly called for. Mr. Edwards
said that “it would be belter to sprin
kle cologne around their doors every
morning,’’ and he also states that lie
aid il “in jest.’’ I can only repeat
that Mr. Edwards should have re
membered that t7e question was a
ser ous one, affecting net only our
property, but the health aud comfort
of our families, and that the ill health
of one ol those about whom he made
his untimely jest had been seriously
aggravated by the smell from the gu
ano. The whole animus of the re
mark was an attempt to throw ridi
cule on a complaint made in good
laith, and grounded on co-existing
facts, and hence was in exceedingly
had taste.
Mr. Edwards states that it was ful
ly as proper and delicate in him to
prepare the paper he did, as for me
to advise Council and himself ns to
the manner in which they should con
duct their business. While I ex
pressed my views as to the manner
in which Council should have treated
us, and I hold that I had a right to
do so, and that I exercised that right
with perfect propriety, I am not
aware that I, anywhere, attempted to
advbe Mr. Edwa.ds as to the man
ner of conducting his business. But,
I shall now stafe plainly’, what in a
former communication I only left to
be inferred, and I state it not in the
shape of advice or council to Mr.
Edwards, bnt as my opinion, that the
preparing of any counter petition
was riot and ought’ not to have been
made his business. A number of cit
izens respectfully complained of a
nuisance; it was in bad’taste, and
out of place for Mri Edwards and
for tlioke who signed his petition to
declare that the nuisance should not
be abated. i’ * ■
’If Council bad ordered the abate
ment of tlie nuisance in
Edwards to exert ajl bisj powers lor
the protection hh ijoa*}. A-
I have thought pro)$i[ to vgffy : .’thia
much in answer tp ^r Edwards’
ciird^ and I npvy dismiss jt^, leaving it
to the reajlgrs. of the Banner to
j.ndge whetherpMr, Edwards has fully
answered or not my previous com
ments upon his countey petition.
Now, I shall say to “Member of
Council’’ that I jiave read his article,
and I remark That a.’ gent le explana
tion of their conduct, a disclaimer,
for instance, of any r ,intention to
treat us discourteously would have
been kind and neighborly ; bnt, I
ask, is it humane to Iaunch.’at me a
whole broadside pf legal opjnions ? I
shall attempt, however, to survive it,
Not being a lawyer, I approach . this
gingerly ; and I am half tempted to
think that “Member of Council’’ in
tended really to scare me off with
the supreme; majesty of the law ;
i^t im'yever, j; shall venture a few
.^anarks,: .. ;. < } :. Uil
The decision of the Supreme Court
declares that a publie or a private
nuisaneg tufty be abpied upon proper
application. It docs not declare that
a gpano depot is not a nuisance The
learned Judge ventures only to say
that he does not think tljat tbe ordi
nary use of a gunso depot is a serious
He' p¥dbiibly ‘ 5 bevW lWefi
Hear one. lie states th*t “tQ ujake
a thing a nuisance it oug^jt.to he of
urt qr 'an
noy ordinary people—n«t nico, sus
c'eptible, sickly people.” I am sure,
speaking for myself, I am neither sus
ceptible nor sickly, and yet I am se
riously annoyed by the smell.
The last clause of the decision
says: “ * * the judgment * * di
recting the removal of the house and
affixing a fine was beyond the neces
sity of the case. Why should the
house be removed ? Cannot the nui
sance be removed by removing
storage? Nor had the Court * * *
power to fine. * * Now, does
not this, taken with what proceeds
in the full text of the decision, ad
mit that in the case of this guano nui
sance there was a necessity for doing
something ? and the decision even
suggests that the nuisance could be
abated by actually removing it. But
the judgment is reversed. Why ?
Because, iu addition to other errors
in technicalities, the court below
erred in ordering the removal of the
house, and not of the storage, and
because the court bad no power to
fine.
I fail to see in this decision any
thing that warrants Council in its
course, and I stand by the views ex
pressed by tne as to iis action.
I am only sorry that I did not, in
the first instance, present our case to
the Directors of the N. E. Road. In
private conversation with many of
them I have found them entertaining
on the subject extremely fair views.
They acknowledge frankly that the
guano, must be aruiisance, and they
seem favorable to the project of mov-
iug the, guano further off, another
season, provided, of course, the city
gave them access (,9, theii; new depot,
and they freely discuss several proper
sites for it. I am .only sorry,?I re
peat, I did not at first lay our case
before t lbera; as I am certain it
would have obtained a,ipore respect
ful hearing. At one time, indeed, I
thought of doing 6p^ but Rowing
very u'ell that it would be a serious
matter to ask them to move their de-
a manner in- , )ot t0 all inaccessible’ place,, and
juriotfs to ti e 1 N. ! E. Road, thin
would have been the time for Mr.
open streets, and having besides,
then, the deceitful thought that Coun
cil were our natural protectors, I car
ried our humble compl.rnt to them,
when instead of bread they gave us
a stone. 1 >> *. li i-I u . j...

The Lemon.
Few people know the value of lem
on juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon a corn will cure it in a few days;
it should be renewed night and morn
ing. A free use ot lemon sugar will
always relieve a cough. Most people
feel poorly in the spring of the year,
and so take medicine for relief; but if
they would eat a lemon before break
fast every day for a week—with or
without Busin’ as they like—they would
find it bettei 1 han medicine. Lomon
juice, used according to this recipe, will
onre consumption, even after the doc
tor’s have given it up not to be benefi
ted. Put a dozen lemons into cold
water and slowly bripg to « boil; boil
slowly until the lemons are * soft, but
not too soft; then squeese until all the
juice is extracted : and sugar to your
taste, and drink. In this way use one
dozen lemons a day- If they cause
pain,'or loosen tlie bowels too much,
lessen the quantity, and use only five
or six a day until you are better, and
then begin with a.4o*eaaday : After
"usings(nlf Mozeri tift ’patiefit tifH
begin to gain flesh and enjoy food.
Hold on to the lemons, and still use
them several weeks more. Another
use for lemons is for a refreshing drink
in summer, or in sickness at any time.
Prepare as directed above, and add
water and sugar. But in order to
have this keep well, after boiling the
lemon squeeze them and strain care
fully; then to every half pint of juice
add one pound of loaf or crushed sugar,
boil and stir a few minutes more until
the sugar is dissolved ; skim carefully
and bottle. Yon will get more juice
from the lemons by boiling-them, and
tlie preparation keeps better.—Londoh

On Tuesday last as Capt. W. \V.
Montgomery, of Rome, Deputy United
States Marshal, was conveying to At
lanta two United States prisoners, one
of them leaped through the door of the
car while the train was going at full
speed. Captain Montgomery, not
taking time to stop the train, immedi
ately followed his prisoner’s example,
and leaped out after him. The traiu
was on a down grade at the time, and
could only be stopped with difficulty.
When it was stopped and backed how
ever, much to the suiprise of every
one, who expected to find both men
mangled and dead, they found Mont
gomery seated on the track with his
prisoner, haviug chased and brought
him to with a couple of pistel shots.
Neither party was seriously hurt.
Certainly such remarkable instances
of pluck apd good, luck combined ar.e
rarely ever recorded in this World.
