Chicago, Aug. 24.—A frail girl named Mercede Cosus, otherwise “The Cuban Wonder,” who for the past week bas been performing nightly at- a variety theater on State street, was at the Desplaine-street police station yesterday. The child was made to go through a series of movements on the trapeze, and her diminutive stature and the agility and skill with which she executed some difficult feats made her a desirable attraction. Her age is about twelve, though she looks fully two years younger. After her performance at the theater, recently, the little girl met a man in the audience who conversed with her in Spanish. She told him that on that afternoon she was beaten with a whip till the blood flowed from nose and ears. She was at rehearsal, and failed in a difficult act that was being taught her by Belletta Du Crow, a French trapeze performer. The child said that this woman took her from her parents, who worked on a plantation in Cuba, promising she would educate the little Mercede. The woman and her husband, Daniel Du Crow, also a performer, instead of educating the child at school, taught her to perform on the stage and used her as their principal attraction. This gentleman reported the facts to tho Humane Society. The child was found to be in a pitiable state. Her right bin was swollen to double its natural siz°. and it seemed as if the little one was to be crippled for ever. The malformation, she explained, was the result of a fail she met with while performing one day. After that she became strangely timid, and tlie maii was in the habit of beating her cruelly to get her to go on the stage. The Du Crows have been arrested, and will be prosecuted for cruelty to children. ■ —*o*" An Unexplained Death. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 24 —Tho Record this morning says: “Charles A. Garnbrill, a wealthy Baltimore merchant, died suddenly at the Continental Hotel last evening, under pecu* liar circumstances. Mr. Garnbrill arrived at the hotel on Friday last, and since that time is said to have been drinking heavily. A number of empty bottles were found in his room, one of which had contained spirits of ammonia, and another had been filled with valerian. Both these were empty, and it is thought that the deceased merchant took an overdose of one or tho ether, and died from the effects. The greatest reserve was displayed by the employes of ths hotel in speaking of the matter, ami even tho name of tlie physician who attended Mr. Garnbrill w’as kept a secret. This, it was learned, was Dr. \\ oodford, and it was stated tllVt he had authorized the hotel clerk to say that death had resulted from heart disease. The matter will no doubt bo rigidly investigated to-day by the coroner.” Caldwell, 0., Wants a Monument. Caldwell, 0., Aug. 24.—The soldiers at this place are trying to raise $15,000 to build a private soldiers’ monumeut in the form of a memorial hall. They raised SI,OOO at the recent soldiers’ reunion, and have appointed H. E. Peters, quartermaster of Post 49, G. A. R., to receive contributions. In 1574 there was a reunion here of the “blue and the gray,” and, as a consequence, J M. Dalzell, who called the reunion. received a letter recently from Col. Robert McEldowney, of Martinsville, \V. Ya., a member of Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, inclosing a contribution for the monument. Re says: “l am not a member of any confederate camp, being too far removed from them, but tho brigade (Stonewall) to which I belonged has something of a history. I inclose a small contribution. with regrets that 1 cannot make it a larger sum.”

Horrible Butchery by Children* Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 24. —A special to the Advertiser from Talladega says: “J. IT. McGowan killed and dressed a pig for a barbecue Friday night. His children, aged eleven, nine and four, saw the process of butchering the jug. The next day McGewan left home, and the children agreed to repeat the process day before. Having no pig. the two older children proceded to butcher the youngest. They cut its throat and hung it up by tho hells, ns the pig had hung, and were proceeding to disembowel it, when their mothei discovered the horrible tragedy. ’ A Family Bible That Is Wanted. Reading, I’a.. Aug. 24.--Several hundred members of the Zechman family in this county* are excited over the information that a fortune of $20,000,000 is awaiting them in Switzerland. They are now advertising for the recovery of the missing family Bible, which alono is needed to establish the claim of evideifce to secure the fortune. Tho family say that the last man who had it was Fred Moyer, who when last heard from resided near Williamsport; but ho cannot now be found. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Tho Salt Cure for Cholera. To the Editor of tlie Indianapolis Journal: Your note in this morning’s paper, that a teaspoonful of table salt a day will prevent cholera reminds the undersigned that from much experience of Asiatic cholera, as a clergyman, he is persuaded that a tcblespoonful of salt dissolved in a half pint of water and sipped a little at a time will destroy the vegetable fungi on tho mucus membrane arid stop the flow of serum or endosmosis, as physicians call it; in other words arrest the worst case of cholera in a very short time. s. a. b.

To tlie Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Your New Y"ork Special correspondent, in his dispatch of tho 22d instant, makes a very serious mistake in stating that the editor of the Christian Advocate, of New York, is “chosen annually by the bishops, and he is controlled in his policy hv the will of the older and more potent of them.” The truth is, the bishops legally have nothing to do with the selection of the editor. He is elected for four years by the General Conference, in which the bishops preside alternately. The bishops are not supported by the profits of the Book Concern, but from a fund raised by collections in the churches. If there is a deficiency I think it is paid out of the funds of the Concern. John 11. Keeley. Indianapolis, Aug. 23. Tlie Legislature of 1848-9. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It is proposed to hold a reunion of the surviving members of the constitutional convention of 1850, and also of tho Legislature of ISSI, which enacted the laws to carry the Constitution into effect. I move to amend the proposition by adding a call for the surviving members of tho Legislature of 1848 9, which called the convention and apportioned its members among the several counties, and I 'would suggest the names of Thomas A. Hendricks, Judges Jamps S. Frazer and Jacob B. Julian, General Dunn, members, with John W. Dodd, secretary of tho House, as a committee to carry my motion into effect. Whatever may he thought of tho wisdom of some of the provisions of the Constitution made for the people of the State by tho convention, or of tlie laws made by the Legislature to carry them into effect, there was no doubt that an amendment of the Constitution of 1810 was necessary and proper, and the Legislature which called it did a wise act. If the surviving members of all the legislatures of the State prior to 1850 were called together, the assembly would net be a large one, for it is believed that a few only are living. M. L. Bundy. New Castle, Ind.. Aug. 24, 1885. I)r. Newman anil tlio Metliodist Episcopacy. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal That is a thrilling cock-and-bull story in your New Y'ork correspondence of Aue. 22, and it ought to stir universal Methodism to tho very center and set all the outside world a wondering at tlie weakness of Methodism, if not her wickedness. Dr. Newman may he a very weak and very ambitious brother, and he may aspire to the episcopacy, but it cannot he proven by the lino of pmnters your correspondent has chosen. In the first place, Dr. Newman is not eligible to the Methodist episcopacy. He is only a local

preacher/nml not even eligible to the General Conference, except as a layman. Though not precluded by law. he is precluded by custom, for no layman has ever been elected bishop. In the second place, the salaries of the bishops are not provided for by the profits of the Book Concern. They don't get a copper from tiiat source. In the third place, the Christian Advocate never assailed Doctor Newman, but always spoke of him kindly. It published the proceedings of several clmrch meetings, when bis case was under consideration by the Congregational church that, as a local preacher, he was serving as pastor, but never accompanied them with an unkind allusion to Doctor Newman. In tne fourth place, the bishops don't elect the Advocate’s editor annually. They have nothing to do with his election—have not even an individual, less an official vote on the occasion, unless to fill a vacancy, which has not occurred once in the last hundred years with that paper, for they neither resign*nor die. In the fifth place, the Advocate is not the official organ of any one or of all the bishops. A bishop, or the whole of them, have no moro control of its columns than the most obscufe layman. In the sixth place, there is no “vacant bishopric” to be tilled by Doctor Newinan or anvbody else. With these few exceptions, and about a halfdozen more equally glaring, the letter is reliable, and by so much as it forecasts the future by caricaturing Dr. Newman and holding the polity of the Methodist Church up to ridicule, it is a valuable contribution to current news. Evidently the youth that wrote it felt that he had to write something sensational, and now that General Grant is buried, and the monument not built, he thought to try his ’prentice hand on Methodist gossip, whereas there is no such gossip in New York or elsewhere. It would be well, before he essays another tilt in that direction. to get some Methodist to post him enough in Methodist polity to avoid such amusing blunders. U L. See. STEAMBOATS AND STEAMEOATING. The days of the glory of the old fashioned river stearnboating have larcely departed. It is with mingled sadness and joyful recollection of the past that the old steamboat men sometimes get together to toll yarns about the former times and of their lively adventures and hair-breadth escapes. When such boats as the Jacob Strader and her companions were in their prime, and when there was no other way of going from Cincinnati to New Orleans except by water, the steamboat men were kings. But the railroads came and took the bulk of the passenger traffic, and the golden days of steumboating passed away. The question i% often asked if the railroads will ever be able to entirely run the steamboats off of our great rivers. It is safe to say that they will not. The steamboat interest is one of great magnitude; and as long as we have such majestic streams as the Ohio and the Mississippi, there will he steamboats. The boats run at a great disadvantage, however, as compared with the railway lines, for with the times at which the water is too high and those at which there is barely enough to enable them to scrape over the bars, boating is irregular and uncertain work. But boats must be run, must be insured and must be left in good order. To -this end our Board of Marino Underwriters keeps up a constant and careful system of inspection. Inspector George Kendall is at the head of this service, and is well known, not only to Cincinnati people, but to all the steamboat men from here to New Orleans. From boyhood he has been on the rivers, and well knows all their joys and their dangers. One of our correspondents had a talk with him the other day at his office on Public Landing. Mr; Kendall called up some reminiscences of war times when he was naval con strnctor at Mound City. Mound City was a lively place in those days, but is now as quiet as a store whose proprietors do not advertise. In the conversation some matters of personal experience regarding healtli and sickness came up for mention. “I have generally enjoyed rugged health,” said Mr. Kendall, “but two or three years ago I was taken with constipation and some pretty severe kidney trouble. 1 suppose it came from catching cold. lama good deal exposed to draughts hero in the office, and then I have to go down mro steamboat-holds where it is damp and wet. Well, 1 had it badly for a while, but I got rid of the whole trouble by using Brown's Iron Bitters. I think that's the best medicine I know of. Tell you how it was I first got it. I had been to St. Louis with my son, and he was taken with inflammation of the liver; a bad case it was, too. I had heard Barclay, the druggist at Cairo, speak about Brown's Iron Bitters, and say it was a first-rate thing, for it had done trood to some of his friends. At Grand Tower l got a bottle of it, and gave it to my son as directed. The effect was surprising. It brought him right cut of his sickness, and he had no return of it. “Then I tried it myself, for I thought if it did hi:n so much eood, it ought to do something for me. I was suffering bad'y then with constipation, and my kindneys were not working right at all. A few doses began to tell on me. 1 saw it was the very medicine I needed, and I found it was a first-rate tonic. I have taken it for that since I got rid of my kidney difficulty and constipation. You see lam in very good health now, and I want to keep so.” “Have you used this medicine in vour family for others than yourself and your son?” “Yes, yes; we use it as a family tonic, and we like it for that. I have bought it by the half dozen bottles. I have a bottle or two at homo now% and I mean to get more when that supply is out. There is nothing like it for people who are run down and feeh weak. For - women and children who are ailing it is a great strengthener and appetizer. It is a great deal better than those whisky bitters, for this does no harm, while some of them are very mischievous. For a steady-going medicine that you can always rely on s*ive me Brown’s Iron Bitters.” Brown’s Iron Bitters is made by an old and well known house in Baltimore, the Brown Chemical Company. It has become a household word in and around Cincinnati, for it has done so much good to many well-known Cincinnati people. Go and ask any druggist and you w ill learn that it is the most popular bitters they have on sale. It is the only preparation of iron which does not injure the teeth and produce constipation.
