Police Testimony.

bmr Sir,— during the past five years I have had
ample opportunity to judge of the merits of Vege
l ink. My wite has used it for complaints attending
a lady of delicate health, with more beneficial result*
than anything else which she ever tried. I have
given it to my children under almost every circum
stance attending a large family, and always with
marked benefit I have taken it myself with such
great benefit that I cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation of its goodness.
While performing my duties as a Police Officer in
this city, it has been my bit to fall in with a great
deal of sickness. 1 unhesitatingly recommend Veg*
etine. and 1 never knew of a case where it did not
prove all that was claimed ‘for it. Particularly in
cases of a debilitated or impoverished state of the
blood its effects are really wonderful ; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state of the blood
it appears to work like a charm, and 1 do not believe
there are any circumstances under which Vkgetinb
can be used with injurious results, and it will always
afford me pleasure to give any further information
as to what 1 know about Veetisk.

Tlie Remarkable Services ancl
Fccmlity of I lie Austins.
“I# Mrs. Austin in?” asked the
Post, upon l>eiug admitted la a neat
little cottage, on the coiner ot M. and
Fourth streets southeast, yesterdav.
“That’s my name,” replied the la
dy win opened the doer. “Have a
seat, sir.” The Post man accepted
the picSored etiair, and, turning to
wards the lady, ohserved that she was
above the medium height, of a full
figure, not more than fitly years of
age, and, though fleshy, active Her
hair was sprinkled with gray, and (tie
'tily eye she was possessed of, was
blue. That stie enjoyed good health
and a fine constitution, her wtiole ap
pearance indicated, and her manner
was that of a woman who was confi
dent she could t ike care of herself.
“Mrs. Austin,” began the reporter
“The Post sent me to interview you.”
“About whai? Oh, l know, atn.u f
the children I’ve had. Ain’t that
it?”
‘ That’s it, precisely, madame.”
“Well, I’!l te!l you all abou. it.
I'm not ashamed of it. I’ve given
birth to forty-four children, and Foi
not an old woman yet, am I? I dou’t
feel old, anyhow, and I don’t believe
I look old. I’m not quit 6 fify-four
yet, hut I’m so noar it 1 might as well
call that my age; l’il he fifty-four
years old on the 18th of this month.
Ain’t Ia young woman to have had
that many children? I’ve had forty
siice I married my present husband,
and he’s right out there in the back
yard now.” Stepping towards the
rear door she called out, ‘ William,
comejn Aiere!”
Then she resumed her seat near
the repoiter and, rattling rK ht on,
said:
“A y husband don’t like me to tell
about >he children I’ve had, but I
will do it. He’s ashamed of it, but I
ain’t. I’m proud of it, and why
shouldn’t I be? I’ve got cause, don’t
you think so?”
The reporter replied that lie had
seen people very proud of a single
cliild,| an( ! on ltlat principle Mrs.
Austin certainly had a right become
ecstatic of forty-four. Just here a
gentleman entered the room,and Mrs.
Austin, pointing to him said :
“That’s my husband, and forty of
my children belonged to him. Now,
William, you needn't shake your
head at me ; I’m just going to tell the
reporter all about it.
I say it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Then why shouldn’t I tell him if he
wauls to know? Yes, sir [turning to
the reporter], I’ve had triplets six
times and twius thirteen times, I
never had less than twins at a time.”
“How many of a!', these children
lived, Mrs. Austin ?”
“Only eleven of them were born
alive; all the others were fully devel
oped, but were dead at their birth.—
Why, I’ve got a sister only lorty-three
years old and she had twenty-six cliil
d:en, and eight of them are living to
day. Her name's Garry Kinney, aud
William, there —my husband—lias
got a sistei that’s had forty-one chil
dren, and ten of ’em nre living yet-
She brought eleven of ’em to this
town.”
“Does she live here now?”
“No; she’s moved to Canneticut.
What’s tho uatue of that place your
sister went to, William? Oh! I know
now; Norwalk. That’s pretty good
for tne family, ain’t it ? Where can
you find another family with three
women that’s had as many children
ns me and my sister and my husband’s
sister ?”
“Are you a native of Washington
Mrs. Austin?”
“No, indeed. I waß horn in South
Carolinia, aud raised in Tennessee.
My grandfather’s name was Irby, one
ot the big familes of South Curolinia.
I come of royal blood, I tell you.
My father was John G. Klink, a pi in
ter. He published a paper in Mem
phis before the war.
Casey Young knew him well.—
Everybody in Memphis knew him.
I’ve been througli the war, if you
want to know about that. I enlisted
in 1862 in Tennessee.”
“On which side?’’
“On the Union side; I’ve never be
trayed my country. I've always tri
ed to be a royal and God-fearing wo
man. I was sent to hospital service
in the army of the Cumberland, and
I’ve been right to the front and taken

ths wounded ofl the batt e-fid 1. Oh,
T.urd ! that was an awful time l’v
been 'hrough the storm, I carl tell
you. You see I’m a regular physi
cian, and havd been practicing lor
tweu'y-fiva years. I was one of the
first women physicians who ever prac
ticed ; I studied under Dr. Stone of
New Orleans You've hoard of him,
haven’t you? But I know you have,
tiecauso he was a noted loan. I 'tend-
ed ollicers anT privates, too, under
Gen R 'S'-cians until after the army
fell back from Ohickamauga, and
then I was sent to thevally of Virgin
j ia, and it was up there I lost this
I eye” —touching the sightless socket.
“I've got medals for my service,
and was given a regular commission.
| My hustmud was all through the war
| and was “hot all to pieces. Oh, my !
i but l picked trim up out of the mud
j once prst torn to pieces. He bad a
great big hole shot in his head, and
! his skull was trepanned witn a silvt-r
■ quarter and it’s in his head now.—
Come round here, Wrllian, and show
that place.”
Mr. Austin walked round to the
reporter and loaned over so that Lis
head could be axamined. The silver
coin was there covering what had
been a very Ogly wound. During
ibis examination the interviewer took
occasion ,to study Mr. Austin a littlo.
He is abont five leet eight inches
high, compactly built aud finely de
veloped : black eyes and dark hair,
and beard scarcely tinged with gray ;
a well-shaped head and good counte
nance. He looked to be about forty
live years of age, and liis conversation
proved him to be a man of sound
common sense and fair education.
After the hole in his head had
been axamined, Mrs. Austin said
“But that ain’t all. Show your arm
William.” The husband bared iris
left arm and showed where a rainie
ball hud passed through,crushing the*
bone about two inches above the
wrist. His wife next called upon
him to show his injured leg. He bared
his left leg, aud it was literally cover
ed with scars. At the ba:tle ol Stone
river the limb had been struck by a
slrarpnel Shetland torn almost to piec
es. The bone was crushed and the
flesh torn, in rdaces, from the limb.
By the same ahell the right Fg was
also badly hurt. “And for all that,”
continued rs. Austin, “he only gets
a pension of $lO a mouth. When I
saw him after he was shot I never
thought he’d live to get any pension.”
“She saved my leg,” put in Mr. Aus
tin, (ointing to his wile.
“Yes,” bho added, somewhat ve
hemently, “the fool surgeon 6 wanted
to cut it off, Hut I told them I could
save it. They said it mu-t come ofF,
but I just got a pist 1, and told Ibein
I,d put a bullet through any man tiiet
trieil it I knew I could save it, and
it would be hotter than no log.”
In the conversation the fact can e
out that Mr. Austin, and his if",too,
had always been good Republicans,
and the reporter asked why trial [aity
had not done something for so good a
soldie-. She replied;
“Haven't we tried and iried to get
him some pIaCJ that Wou and just sup
port us c rmfortably, but wo’vo g t
more insults than anything else.”
“Two years ago,” sad Mr. Austin,
breaking into the conversation, “I got
an endor ement from the whole Ten
nessee delegation, and together wi'.li
my honorable discharge and other pa
pers, filed it in the Treasury Depart
merit, with nil application for any
place they could give mo. 1 was put
off from time to time, and trdd to
come t ack next week, and so on, un
til I was worn out, and I let it go. I
tried to get my papetc back, but nev
er have succeeded.”
“Tell him about the 850,” suggest
ed Mrs. Austin.
“They wanted me to pay SSO fo an
appointment,” he said.
“I’ll tell you just how it was,” said
she. “We weie to goto the appoint
ment clerk, and so we di>, and ask
ed for a place for my husband. The
appointment clerk aske ) me if I had
a bonus, and I said. What’s that? let
ting on that I didn’t kuow what he
meant. Then he said “Have you got
SSO? I told hiu; we didn’t have the
money, that that’s what we wanted
the position for —to get money. Then
he said that was the only way to get it
and if we didn’t have the SSO we
couldn’t get a position.”
“Who was the appointment clerk
that tune?” asked the post.
“His uauie was Martin,’’ replied
Mr. A.
“Yes added his wife, and we were
insulted more than once. When I
went, not long ago,and asked oneof the
men for my husband’s papers he al
most knocked me dowD.”
In addition to his othei injures Aus
tin was crushed while working on the
Kansas in the navv-yard, in d869, anti
taken out for dead. By faithful nur
sing his wife brought hitu round after
he bad been in bed six months, aad
lie found he had been discharged du-
ring that time. Adroir..l Dalilgron j
had him restored to the pay roll, but
some liepubhcan boss soon alterwards
discharged him again. Austin has (
paperu to prove that he was a gallant
soldier and was wounded in action ;
iris wife showed the reporter several
medals—one given him by President
Lincoln —as evidence of the service
she rendered in the hospitals and car
irg for the wounded right on the bat
tle-field. Yet this couple lias lived
hero in Washington for years, almost
in hearing of the Radical shrieks at
the Capitol over the “Uuion soldier,” .
and not a single crumb could they get
from the Radical table.
THE PESTILENCE.
Tire Awful Condition of Mem
phis—Eftluvin of thePliigue A
Returned Doctor’s Thrilling
Narration.
Dr William T. Ramsey, one of th.
physicians who went to Memphis with
the corps of Washington nurses, has
; returned to Washinton in company
' with Dr T F Pease and Mrs Wallis,
j The following brief interview with
Dr. Ramsey discloses some of the
horrors and necessities of the plague
stricken city, Dr. Ramsey said ; “Bo
fore re-ctiing Memphis—even when
five miles oat—the air was laden with
the yellow fever poison, and as we ap
proached the city rhe stench’was abso
lutely sickening. Dr. Pease <;nd my
self went to the Peabody] Hotel, the
only one now open, and were shown
into a room from which a dead body
had just been removed. Vessels of
black vomit where standing about the
room and the bed clothing had not
been changed. Tho hotel itself is a
very pest-house, and victims of tho
disease are in two finds of the rooms
yulphur pans are kept burning in the
ha'ls, and the clothes bedding e‘c.,
are constantly disinfected, but they
cannot ge* help euough in tire hotel
to do one-half what aught to be
done.
“How many trains to day doc
tor?”
“Two at present but all commerce
has ceased aud business of noarly ev
every kind is suspended. Tire people
have no heart to attomp; any rfgular
business and could not if thay would.
Even tire liquor saloons for tho most
pa.t are closed, and die provisions
stores as a rule are empty.”
“What soems to Le their greatest
ru ed ?”
“Provisions, clothing, physicians,
money, nurses and medicine about in
the order named. Tim best thing that
can tie douo now is to send plenty of
provisions and clothing. Ttrouegroes
and many poor wtiites fur a regiou of
one hundred and fifty miles arc aud
Menphis have Hocked in there, near
ing they could get something % to oat
and as fot clothes, hundreds of poor
people are going about the street*, es
pecially colored women, with hardiy
anything on at all. The sights in this
respect me do bossing.”
“Are they disposed to bo peacea
ble?”
“So far no serious outbreak lias om
cured, butjhe Letter classes are in
constant terror of a riot. The city is
in thejiands ot colored police alto
gether, and while they believe very
well, there is still a lurking fear ou
the part of tho whites of some addi
tional evil.”
The recent Maine electiod his crea
ted a good deal of talk. There were
three candidates in the fi-ld for Gover
nor, republican, democratic nnd green
back. Neither was elected, as it takes
a majority to elect. The democrats
and greonbackers combined hold a
majoiity in the House and the repub
licans predominate in the Senate. I(.
is presumed that eithor the greenback
or democratic candidate for Gov. will
be releeted by the legislature.
Eugene Haie, the blackest republi
can in the U. S. was beaten for Con
gress by a greonbacker that hews
rock fot a living.’ 7 * The republicans
lost one othor of their congressmen.
It ve*ily seems as Ben Hill says, that
the Republican party is dying
Brrt few persons are aware that
they do wagons and carriages more
injury by greasing too much than in
any other way. A well made wheel
will endure common wear for ton or
twelve years' if care is taken to use |
the right kind and propper amount of j
grease ; hut if this matter is not at
tended to, they will be used up in five
or six yeais. Lord should never be
used on a wagon, for i* will penetrate
the bub aud work its way out around
the teneus of the spokes and spoil the
wheol. fallow is the best lubricator ,
for wood axles, and castor oil for
iron. Just euough grease should be
applied to the spindle of a wagon to
give it a light coating ; this is better
than more, for the surplus will work
out at the ends, and be forced by the
shoulder bands* and nutwrshers into
the huh around the outsileof the
boxes. To oil an iron axle, first wipe
the spindle clean with a cloth wet
with spiiits of turpentine, and then
apply a lew drop3 of castor oil near
the shoulder rnd end. Ooe teaspooc
(ul ts sufficient for the whole.

Tlie Influence of Newspapers.
A school teacher,\wlio hail been a
lung time engaged in his profession,
and witnessed the intluence of a news
i papo>' upon the min is of a family of
children, writes as follows ;
I have found it to he a universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars of both saxes, and of all ages,
who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those
who have not, are :
1 Better read is, excellent in pro
nunciation, and consequently read
more and under;,tandingly.
2. They are better speller*, and de
fiue words with oase and accuracy.
3. They obtain praciical knowledge
of geography in almost half tho time
it requires of others, as the tiewspa
peis have made them acquainted with
the location of the important places,
if nations, their government and do
ings on the ghdip.
4. Tliey me hotter grammarians
for having become so familiar with
every vaiiety of stylo in the newspa
pers, from the common-place advertis
ements to the finished and classical
oration of the statesmen, they more
readily comprehend the meaning of
the text and constantly analyze its
construction with security.
5. They write better compositions,
using better iarguage, containing
mote thoughts, more cle irly an l cor
rectly expressed.
G. Those youug nun who have for
years been readers of newspapers
are always taking the load in debat
ing societies, exhibiting a more ex
tensive knowledge upon a greater
variety ct suhj >et?, and expressing
their views with greator fluency,
clearness and correctness.
Wheat.
The possibilities of tho yield of
wheat have not yet been ascertained.
The reported production of 40 or 4G
bu-hels per acre looks like a pretty
large stety te most of our farmers.—
What, than, will they say to a yield
of 84 bushels, as reported in England?
The wheat was cultivated like corn
wi'h a hoe. The seed was planted in
a drills, one foot apait ami four in
ches apart in the rows. The spaces
betweeu the diiil rows’wore carefully
cultivated unt.l the plun‘B had attain
ed sufficient growth lo interfere with
tho work. Tho result was eighty
fmir bushels per acre. Another expe
liinent with rows six finches apart,
aud four inches apait in the rows re
sulted in sixty-niue*bushels bor acre.
Those who think farming is a kind ol
hum-drum occupation with no chance
tor intellectual (ffret will do well to
try their intellects in devising means
to secure these results in wheat grov
iug.
Twisted Sentences.
A clergyman says: “A young wo
man died in my neighboibood yester
terlay, while I was preaching in a
beastly state of intoxication.”
A coroner’s verdict read thus: “The
deeoased came to his death by oxcos
uivo drinking, producing appoplexy in
n the minds of the jury.”
