Smimmal) Utailjj ®imea VOL. 6.—NO. 28'. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ORDER OF THE HOLY CROSS. The Convent and Monastery for the High Church Episcopalians of New York. New York, January 27 —The corner stone of the Chapel of the Holy Cross was placed yesterday but without much cere mony, though it had been intended to make the occasion conspicuous. The reason for a change of programme is the controversy which has sprung up in the Protestant Episcopal Church on the question of-cel : - bacy in clergymen. This chapel is to be used by the Order of the Holy Cross, of which a son of Bishop Hunt ineton became the second member a few weeks ago. The vows of perpetual pov erty and chastity were imposed upon him by Assistant Bishop Potter, which official act is severely criticised by other bishops The scheme of which this is a part has not heretofore been published. The incorpo rators of the mission are the Rev. Dr. Houghton, famous as rector of the Little Church Around the Corner, young Hunt ington and another. It is located in the midst of East Side squalor. A fund of $35,000 has already been subscribed by Fif.h avenue people, to whom Hunt ington has been socially known,and in whom his ascetic bent has caused great surprise, because it was supposed that he had made a cho ce for a wife. The institution is to be a nunnery, as well as monastery. The Sisters of St. John the Baptist, an Episcopalian order, founded by the Rev. Dr. Dix, of Trinity Church, are to minister there, and the brethren of the Order of the Holy Cross are to be recruited unless the opposed senti ment becomes so strong as to bring about official discountenance, as now seems likely WEST VIRGINIA STORM SWEPT. Houses and Ba’ns Blown Down—Live stock Killed—Great Damage. Wheeling, W. Va , Jan. 27.—Papers arriving from the interior of the State last night and this morning bring the first de tails of the great storm which swept the central portion of the State, doing immense damage. Fences are leveled for miles. The live stock in many barns and sheds were in jured or killed by the falling of the build ings. No loss of human life is recorded, though narrow escapes were numerous At Winfield, Putnam County, the house of Colonel McLean was badly dam aged. Thomas Harmon’s birn was blown down; loss, SI,OOO. The Putnam Democrat, published at Winfield, estimates the damage there atslo,ooo. It says the storm wrecked the jail kitchen and badly damaged the building used by the County Clerk. The jail is rootle s, and its only occupant crawled out unmolested. Showen’s grist mill, on Poco river, is completely ruined; loss, $4,000. In Braxton, Lewis, Mason, Kanawha, Raleigh, Tyler, Roane, Wirt and other counties similar damage was done. An im mense tree was blown on the house of Alfred Sisson, near Point Pleasant, and crushing through the roof imprisoned Sisson and his wife in bed until the next day, when neigh bors released them. The loss in the State will aggregate $50,000. DEFAULTER ARRESTED. An Ex-Sheriff Lodged in JaiL Waco, Texas, Jan. 26.—James K Roby, has been arrested in Indian Territory. For many years previous to 1876 he had been sheriff and tax collector of Coryell county. He suddenly disappeared, leaving his wife and taking a young girl with him He was over $20,000 short as tax collector in his accounts with the State and county These creditors sued Roby’s bondsmen, but very little of the money due was recovered. It was estimated that he carried with him nearlv $40,000. He was heard of in Colo rado and elsewhere. The present Sheriff of Coryell c unty learned that Roby was living in the Choctaw Nation, and caused his arrest. Roby is now in Galveston jail. THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS. Nothing Short of a Bloody Contest Wil Satisfy Them. Caldwell, Kas, Jan. 27.—A man who was at Couch’s camp last week says it is lo cated about half way between Stillwater and Cimarron rivets. Couch’s men are continually throwing up breastworks, and have dug pits so they can move about with out being seen. It is asserted here that nothing short of a bloody contest will induce them to leave. Atchison, Kans , Jan. 27.—A number of Colonies are forming thronghrut South ern Kansas, f r the purpose of joining the Oklahoma Boomers. TENNESSEE CONVICTS. Their 111 Treatment to Be Investigated. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 27.—The seri ous charges of the ill treatment of convicts led to the offering of resolutions yesterday in the House to appoint a joint committee of investigation. It is charged that the sexes maintain immoral relations; that births have occurred within the wails and that the convicts are worked on Sand-.y at Branch prisons. THE LATE LONDON EXPLOSION Indignation Against the Irish Continuer. London, Jan. 27—The morning papers announce the receipt of hundreds of letters relative to the explosions, which they lack space to publish. Many of the letters urge retaliation upon Irishmen everywhere. Some of the letters are from laborers, stat ing that many employers notified the Irish men in their employ the first thing yesterday morning, that their services were no longer required. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1885. THE SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH COM PANY. The Rosy Lochrane Wants a Receiver Appointed. Special Dispatch to the Daily Times. Atlanta, Jan. 27.- Late yesterday even ing O. A. Lochrane filed a bill in the United States Court praying for a receiver for the Southern Telegraph Company. Judge Lochrane has $30,000 Southern bonds, on which S9OO interest is due and unpaid. The case is set for the 2d of March.

Washington, Jan. 27. —President More head, of the National Cotton Planters’ Asso ciation, has sent out his invitation circular for the general meeting of the association to be held at the Exposition Building on Feb. 10. Great interest is felt in the matter here. The Secretary of State has invited all foreign governments, and many of them have already accepted. All Slates and Territories and agricultural societies will send dele gates, papers will be read by scientific spec ialists and action taken calculated to bring the sections together and stimulate agricul tural ind manufacturing industries. It will be one of the most notable events of the century. THE ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP. Excitement Over the Situation Increasing. Springfield, 111., January 27.—News has been received this morning that Sena tor Bridges, of Carrolton, Democrat, has been stricken with paralysis, and is dying. His death, or continued illness, will break the tie in the Legislature, and >t is said that Democrats will filibuster against the Senatorial election on adjourn ment. The excitement over the situation is increasing. ROSSA AND HIS GANG. They Exhibit Savage Glee When Told of the Outrages In London. New York Special. When O’Donovan Rossa was told about the explosion in the houses of Parliament in London, he said he was glad to hear the news; that the houses of Parliament ought to have been blown up Ipng ago, and that he had preaching and collecting money to fight England with for the past five years. The sooner England, he said, was crippled, the better. “How doyou like it?” asked the reporter. “It’s good.” “Are you surprised?” “Oh, no 1” “Rather like it, I suppose?” “Very much.” “What does it mean ?” “It means that they are now at work and mean to keep it up.” “Were to-day’s explosions the result of any prearrangement on this side of the At lantic?” ‘ Not that I know of. I expect now that there will be a series of dynamite opera tions in various parts of England and simul taneously. There will be no let up now, and we will keep the government very busy over there. We are determined to wage a war that will eventually free Ireland, and we shan’t spare the use of dynamite.” “It is believed that you are directly re sponsible for these continued dynamite op erations on th*other side. What have you to say to that ?” “I don’t care what they say. They may i call me a dynamite fiend and agitator, and ■ all that, but it don’t affect me any more than throwing water on a duck’s back.” “Some people consider you a dangerous man, and want you arrested and put out of the way?/ “Perhaps they do; but they can’t do it.” As the reporter started to leave, Mr. i Rossa rubbed his hands and reiterated his satisfaction with the news of the day, de claring that he hoped the Parliament buildings will be soon blown up with all the members of both houses, including the Irish party, who deserve the fate for still holding their seats. Austin Ford, one of the editors of the Irish World, when told of the explosion, s id: 1 “Explosion! What, explosion?” sail Mr. Ford, os he calmly got up from his desk. “In London/'was tne answer. He came forward, his eyes brightened, and his hand silently clenched “England has brought on all the disasters, the crimes, ■ the tyranny and the terrors that make it 1 quake,” he said. “She has sown the seeds of tyranny and oppression, and is now reap- ■ iug the whirlwind. England must blame herself for all this dynamite trouble. For . over seven hundred years she has oppressed and ground down Ireland, put a standing army thereof 60,000 soldiers, enforced obnoxious laws, encour aged brutality, and without a conscience, without religion, like vandals of old, en slaved a brave race of people. The explo sion to-day may cause the gray hairs of Gladstone to tremble, and give warning of 1 the feariul wrath and desperate methods enslaved people resort to to gain liberty. My views are nearly the same as those of M'chael Davitt and Redmond.” “Do you approve of the dynamite • m"tuod?” • “I don’t say. England is to blame, what ever is blown up.” New York Produce Market.

THE TOWER OF LONDON THE BUILDING THE DYNAMITERS TRIED TO DESTROY. An Historic Edifice That is World Re nowned— Interesting History of the Fortress Distingul shed Prisoners Who Have Been Confined There— A Marvelous Narrative. As related in our late dispatches the dy namiters succeeded in partially destroying this famous edifice—a relic of antiquity. The Tower of Lindon is supposed to have been commenced by Julius Casar. Although most writers say that William the Conqueror first commenced it in 1078, still we have the authority of Shakespeare for saying it was begun by the Roman Gentr.l. In Richard 111, Act 3, scene 1, Prince Edward says: “I do not like the Tower of any place, Did Julius Ctesar build that place, my lord? Gloster. He did, my gracious lord, build that place, Which, since, succeeding ages have re-edifled. .Prince. Is It upon record ? or else reported Su<c sslvely, from age to age, he built it.? Upon record, my gracious lord. This celebrated fortress is situated at the eastern extremity of the city, about two miles and a quarter in a direct line from the Houses of Parliament, where the other ex plosions occurred, and is separated Irom the thickly populated portion of the city by what is called Tower Hill. It covers about twelve acres of ground, and is surrounded by a moat, which, since 1843,has been used as a garden. On the river side is an entrance called the Traitor's Gate, through which persons of state were con veyed to boats after their trial. Within the famous structure are numerous buildings, including the Barracks. Armorv, Jewel house, White Tower, S f . Peter’s Tower, Bloody Tower, where Richard 111. mur- ; dered his nephews; the Bowyer Tower, , where the Duke of Clarence was drowned in I a butt of Malmsey; the Prick Tower, in , which the Lady Jane Grey was confined; I the Beauchamp Tower, the prison of Anne Boleyn, and numerous other buildings. In addition to the Tower’s original use as a fortress, it was the residence of the monarchs of England down lo the time of f Elizabeth, and a prison for State criminals; and numerous are the kings, queens, war riors, and statesmen who have been impris oned and murdered within its walls. The histories of Lady Jane Grey, Catherine - Howard, Anne Bo'eyn, Sir Walter Raliegb, i Lord William Russell, the Proctector > Somerset, Sir Thomas Moore, William Wallace and King John of France, do they . not live in the remembrance of every his— ; torical reader? Queen Elizabeth’s Army, . filled with arms and relics, is located with- > in the walls of the White Tower, which are fourteen feet thick. The room in which Sir Walter Raliegh was immured, is here shown; he was confined three different times in the Tower, and here his son Carew was born. The Lion Tower, on the right, was for 600 years the royal menagerie; the an imals remaining were removed to the Zoological Gardens in the reign of Wil liam IV. The jewel house contains all the crown jewels of England; they are enclosed in an immense case. Prominent among them is the crown made for the coronation of Queen Victoria at an expense of about $600,000. I Among the profusion of diamonds is the I largest ruby worn by the Black Prince; the crown made for the coronation of Charles | II; the crown of the Prince of Wales and I that of the late Prince Consort; crown made j for the coronation of the Queen of James 11, also her ivory sceptre; the coronation spoon and bracelets, royal spurs, swords as Mercy and Justice, are among the other jewels. Here, too, is the silver-gilt baptis mal font, in which is deposited the christen ing water for the royal children, and the celebrated Koh-i-noor diamond, the present property of Queen Victoria and the object of great interest at the great exhibition in H>de Park in 1851. It formerly belonged ' to Runjeet Singh, Chief of Lahore, and was called the “ Mountain of Light.” Thanks to such intelligent students as Mr. Dixon, we know almost as much of the Tower’s history as the ancient stone walls themselves. From the days of the Con , querer, the tyrannical Norman King who . caused that famous military architect, Gun dulph, Bishop cf Rochester, to build the Middle Tower, we have the complete story of the Tower befo'e vs. To use the words of that Countess of Somerset who, with her husband, poisoned Overbnry and subsequent ly occupied the prison in which he had been confined, the place is “full of the ghosts of the dead.” In the White Tower, with its watch towers at each angle, and its walls fifteen feet thick, was imprisoned Maud, the third daughter of Earl Fitzvalter, that s’out ; baron who, to avenge the King’s treatment of his cnild, compelled him to sign Magna i Charta at Runnymede. Here, in a dun geon, compared to which the Black Hole at Calcutta would be a palatial residence, was i imprisoned Guy, or Guido Fawke; and here was the prison home of the seven bishops, at whose knees even the soldiers of the guard fell, imploring their benediction, while the room was crowded with prostrate ■ spectators asking a blessing. The perse ’ cuted prelates were lodged in the Earl of Leicester’s Tower, where Heriot first ob i served the satellites of Jupiter. Probabilities.

Stanton’s Story of How He was Held Down in Front of a Train. Daniel E. Stanton, of Mystic, Ct., has sent to Cooley’s Weekly, of Norwich, a confiden tial account of how Fred P. Nash was killed by him in Philadelphia in October last. Stanton has successfully eluded the pursuit of the police ever since the tragedy, and his whereabouts is still a mystery. His story be gins with an accountofhis acquaintance with Nash, who was of Mexican birth, and, it ap pears, was sort of a pensioner upon his bounty, although they had been acquainted only about a year. Stanton had consider, able money. They boarded together in New York, and one night, accorkingto Stanton, Nash stole S4O from his pocket while he thought Stanton was asleep. Stan ton afterward of designs against him, and tried to get away from him, but Nash fol lowed him to Philadelphia. On account of his fear of Nash, Stanton had procured a revolver. He became very sick in Philadelphia, and started back for New York, Nash going along, but was forced to alight from the train at the Sixteenth-1 street station in Philadelphia, and go in seach of a physician. Nash led him upon the railroad track. There they had a quarrel, started by Nash. Stanton tells what followed in these words: Hurling a volley of Spanish oaths at me, he caught me around the waist, and with bis full strength forced me backward upon the track, dealing me a severe blow in the face, and holding me there with his foot on my breast. The trains had been passing every few minutes, anß, looking to my right, I saw the headlight of an engine not more than two hundred yards away, coming at full speed. I realized his purpose, drew my revolver, and pointing it fuli in his face, cried, “Letup, Nash, or I’ll shoot.” He replied: “Shoot away.” I took steady aim at his arm and fired, believing that , when he saw it was loaded, he would let go, I and intending at the most to disable him. [ He, however, jumped, caught my wrist, and endeavored to wrench the revolver away from me. I held it fast, and as the train ' was now close upon me, fired three shots in [ rapid succession, aiming as best I could. ’ Nash sank backward from the track, and I I jumped up just in time to save mys If. It .! was a freight train. The corner of the for- I ward car struck me in the side, inflicting a ’ j slight bruise. I stood a moment irresolute what to do. I saw Nash get up, climb over I the fence, ami make toward the street. He did not call for help. I concluded he was ‘ not injured much, and, picking up the cane ’ I had let fall, walked to the depot, and there took a car for the city. 1 Stanton then tells how he was surprised to see in the newspapers the next morning that he was branded as a murderer. His ’ first thought was to give himself up, but he reflected that the circumstantial evidence ! would be against him, and, after keeping 1 ont of the way for a week, sailed from New York fora foreign country. He adds that ’ if he ever returns to this country, and I ’ there appears to be any prospect for justice 1 being done him, he will not fear a trial. A NEW ELDORADO. Gold and Silver Mines Unearthed in Eas'- ern New Yorx, Marlboro (N. Y.) Special. The gold and silver mines which it is ; alleged have been and are now being un- i i earthed on and at the base of the Shawan- I [ gunk Mountain in Ulster county, notably I | so at points near Ellenville, have induced I i prospectors to look for valuable ore beds at other points on the range, and in the Cats kill and Plattekill mountains. By the prospecting is looked upon as a sort cf craze, yet the enthusiasts all have great ex pectations. Valuable mil erals, it has been discovered, can be taken out of the bowels of the Fishkill mountains. In Dutchess county, and also, it is expected, near the Connecticut State line, a company has been formed composed mainly of Syracuse and other Central New York citizens, to work the Fishkill mountain “finds,” which con sist of silver, etc. The company is known as the Hudson River Silver and Graphite Mining Company, at least that is the designation on the cer tificate of incorporation filed with the Dutchess Countv Clerk in Poughkeepsie. The capital stock is fixed at $500,000, there being 10,000 shares at SSO each. The com - pany expects to work the finds for fifty years, and the home office of the prospectors and others directly and pecuniarily interested is situated in Syracuse. People in Fishkill, Matteawan, Glenham and ether villages which nestle at the foot of the Fishkill Mountains say that the company purposes to work the deposits for all they are worth, and that a large force of men will be employed almost immediately. The recently discovered gold and silver mines at Cantonville, Ulster county, are said to be “big things,” and work is being vigorously prosecuted in that vicinity by New York civil engineers and miners with California keenness and means adopted for finding the precious yellow metal. As far as heard from up to date no further valuable mines or other deposits have been discovered on the Cat skills, either in Ulster, Greene or Delaware counties, or in the Shawangunk, in Sullivan, or ' the Fishkill, in Dutchess. The number of claims filed with the Secretary of State by Ulster county parties alone during the year 1884 to the ownership of gold and silver mines and other mineral deposits were re , markably large. Nearly all the claims are ■ located in the western and southwestern portions of Ulster and thejadjoining coun ties and in localities in Sullivan. One Point Against Mormonism. New York Herald. The decision given by the United States Supreme Court recently in the Clawson case ’ settles one point in the anti-polygamy law. • When a Mormon is convicted of polygamy s and sentenced to prison the trial judge may 1 refuse to release him on bail pending an ap r peal from the sentence. Once in prison he can bs held there until he serves out his term or his conviction is set aside by the courts. There will be the usual Mormon s outcry against this exposition of the law, t but it is a step forward in the treatment of the Utah question. GEN. LEE TO MR. DAVIS A LETTER FROM THE CHIEFTAIN TO THE EX-PRESIDENT. Proposals to Co-operate With the Peace Party of the North—Suggestions as to the Course the South should Pursue —Thinks this Would Strengthen the South and Weaken the North. The following letter purporting to have been written by General Robert E. Lee to the Hon. Jefferson Davis, and dated “Head quarters Army of Northern Virginis, June 10, 1863,” is published in the New York Herald of Sunday: “Mr. President: I beg leave to bring to your attention a subject with reference to which I have thought that the course pur sued by writers and speakers among us has had a tendency to interfere with our suc cess. I refer to the manner in which the demonstration of a desire for peace at the North has been received in our country. I “I think there can be no doubt that jour nalists and others in the South, io whom the Northern people naturally look for a reflection of our opinions, have met these indications in such wise as to weaken the hands of the advocates of a pacific policy on the part of the Federal Government and give much encouragement to those who urce a continuance of the war. “Recent political movements in the Uni ted States and the comments of influential newspapers upon them have attracted my attention particularly to this subject, which I deem not unworthy of the consideration of your Excellency nor inappropriate to be adverted to by me, in view of its connection with the situation of military affairs. “Conceding to our enemies the superiority claimed bv them in numbers, resources and all the means and appliances for carrying on the war, we have no right to look for ex emption from the military consequences of the vigorous use of these advantages, ex cept by such deliverence as the mercy of Heaven may accord to the courage of our soldiers, the justice of our cause and the constancy and prayers of our people. While making the most we can of the means of resistance we possess, and grate fully accepting the measure of success with which God has blessed our efforts as an earnest of his approval and favor, it is nevertheless the part of wis dom to carefully measure and husband our strength, and not to expect from it more than, in the ordinary course of affairs, it is capable of accomplishing. We should not therefore, conceal from ourselves that our resources in men are constanly diminishing, and the disproportion in this respect be tween us and our enemies, if they continue united in their efforts to subjugate us, stead ily augmenting. The decrease of the ag gregate of this army, as disclosed by the re turns affords an illustration of this fact, i's effective strength varies from time to time, but the falling off in its aggregate shoas ’ that its ranks are growing weaker and th.it i its fosses are not supplied by recruits. | “Under these circumstances we should ; neglect no honorable means of div ding and weikening our enemies, that they may feel sime of the difficulties experienced by o r j seb e>. It seems to me that the most effect , ual mode of accomplishing this object, no* i within our reach, is to give all the encour agement we can, consistently with truth, t* the rising peace party of the North. Nt r Ido I think we should, in this connection, j make nice distinction between those who I declare for peace unconditionally and those i who advocate it as a means of restoring the Union, however much we may prefer tl e former. “We should bear in mind that the fri n Is of peace at the North must make concessions to the earnest desire that exists in the minds of their countrymen tor a restoration of the Union, and that to hold out such a result as an inducement is essential to the success of their party. Should the belief that peace will bring back the Union become general the war would no longer be sup ported, and that is, after all, what we are interested in bringing about. When peice is proposed to us it will be time enough to discuss its terms, and it is not the part cf j prudence tospurn the proposition in advance merely because those who wish to believe, or affect to believe, that it will re sult in bringing us back to the Union. We entertain no such apprehensions, nor doubt that the desire of our people for a distinct and independent national existence will prove as steadfast under the influence of peaceful measures as it has shown itself in the midst of war. “If the views I have indicated meet the approval of your Excellency, you will best know how to give effect to them. Should you deem them inexpedient or impracticable, I think you will nevertheless agree with me that we should at least carefully abstain from measures or expressions that tend to discourage any party whose purpose is peace. “With the statement of my own opinion on the subject, the length of which you will excuse, I leave to your better judgment to determine the higher course to be pursued. ■ “I am, with great respect, your obedient servant' R.

I While ample provision is made for the prevention and spread of infectious diseases among our people, but little attention has been paid to degeneracy. This subject is worthy of the most careful consideration of every scientific philanthropist. All desire a good, healthy physical constitution. There j are many varied opinions as to the best > means of attaining it. Chemistry and the - micro-cope reveal to us all the elements nec- > essary for building np and sustaining every : organ in the body. If any one of these elements is deficient in our food and drink. I the organ which depends on them for supply ' being half-starved, must necessarily suffer, and not only so, but it seriously affects other . organs. What I desire now is to call atten tion to the increasing tendency to nervous , debility and poor bone structure. This sub ject is often discussed in our dental societies, but of this the public knows but little. Although some differ in opinion, the best informed agree that . there is a deficiency in our food of phos- . phate and carbonate of lime, which is es . sential to good and healthy nerves and bone structure. , We have in this locality great numbers that suffer from nervous debility and bad teeth. Some attribute it to eating too much i candy and sweetmeats; others to our others to heriditary predisposition. Let ua note these supposed causes. Pure candy and , sweetmeats do not furnish food for either the . nerves or bones. If indulged in, and they i generate acid in the stomach, the acid irri tates the nerves and the whole body suffers and they should be dispensed with. Our climate is good; the sun never shone on a , better, and cannot be the true cause. Hereditary predisposition most undoubt— ■ edly has a deleierious influence, but this can be remedied if the proper means are used to : prevent it. Dr. F. Y. Clark, who was well known here as a prominent dentist, once . said at one of our annual dental mt e ings, “that if the wholesale destruction of teeth . was not stopped by some means, that we should soon have a tool bless population, caused by hereditary influence.” This can not be so, as many facts prove the contrary. Dr. J. R. Walker, a prominent dentist in New Orleans has had a large experience and opportunities for comparing the quality of human teeth in different localities. He read an interesting paper at the meeting of the Southern States’ Dental Society, on environment, he gave a very succint ac count of his observrlion and experiments. In it he siys “ the question is wholly one of demand, and supply.” He visited Northern Texas and in the lime stone lo calities found that the children and the . people generally had go d, hard teeth, . while in his locality the reverse was the rule, the water in the lime-store ' J region being impregnated with carbonate of lime, was by its use the true cause of the fire development of their teeth; and he concludes that where ever this element is deficient in an ordinary food and drink, good, substantial tooth bonG is impossible, unless supplied by artifical means. After these observations he says he “began to preach lime water;” and, alter several years of experiment, he proceeds tn relate its effect, and found it most marvelous - in arresting hereditary predisposition in sev eral families. The deficiency in our ordi nary food and drink in this loca ity ,is as unfavorable to the forma— . tion and substance of good bone , structure as in New Orleans, but carbonate of lime does not furnish food for the nerves, j these require the phosphates. While I ad vocate good bone structure, I desire n.eans for arresting the increasing downward ten , denev of nervous depression which is so deleterious not only to the present, but the . coming generation. We all know that half starved nervea . and bones must result in an enfeebled con stitution. . The rapid progress of the arts . and sciences has brought to light an , efficient remedy for arresting the onward f progress of the evils mentioned above. It is , cheap, and not unpalatable. It is made , from carefully selected beet bones, freed from all animal matter, and reduced to an > impalpaole powder; is as fine as the best • wheat flour. Every well informed person knows that our bones are largely tempi sed [ of carbonate and phosphate of lime, and f good beef bones, if properly prepared tor i digestion, will furnish that which our ordi-. nary food and drink is deficient in. . The use of it will be beneficial in almost any ' family, but particularly bearing women, and i children, whose nerves and bones are being [ developed. A physician in this city is using it in his practice to aid him in cur-< , ing his nervous patients. About half tea , spoonful per day for each person will ac ? complish the desired end, and about half as much for small children. It can be mixed i in milk, bread or any way to fancy. E.
