Letter from a West Va. Lady In Australia. The Hot Weather They are Now Having in that Country. ,t Llltle Ice Would Calailtfen mo Night of Their Eye*. Ai>ELAiDieL8oDTn Australia. 1 December 6,1877. J fclltora luU-llljeocrn I wonder if you are shivering over lire.* to day with plenty of snow and ice on the nirsel* and housetops. If so I wish you could ship iim a load of vour ice, it would be appreciated here, I'm sure. Our summer has begun, and it has been very hot, tho' nothing to what we may expect, I am told. Aaatralian heat in not enjoyable. One feela aa if thoy were in .m over, and baking brown, browner, brownest, and on a hot dav, between the /?tin, hot wind, and dust it in something dreadful. This, however, doesn't lai<t more than a day or two until a Huiithweater cornea along, and very noon it it delightfully cool. Then doors and windows ir? opened and houses thoroughly cooled. Lately we have had a good deal of ex ciit'meii't in Adelaide over the electiou fur Mayor. Deep vs. shallow drainage were the (tointa of contention, 1 believe. There in only one party here in the pol- j itics, mo that, aa a rule things move alongI very <|uittly. The deep drainage man waselected, much to our satisfaction. Saturday last, wan election day, and the I streets were crowded, it wan also English 1 mail day, and what has never before hap jtened since the Colony won founded, oc- j curred on that day, the steamer from | England bringing the mails came in, be fore the English outgoing mails closed. | She had at) tie passage and got in eight days a head of her contract time. It is won derful lately, how quickly the steamers have been making the passage. One made it in oSdays frotu London to Adel aide. People travel to and from England ho much that the trip is regarded as no thing at all. I was talking to a lady friend yesterday who said she had made the voyage Gve times. I think they were all pleasure trijM too. Americans have the reputation of being great travellers but 1 think Australians beat them. AN ATTRACTIVE SHOW. I went to a llower show last monlh that wm very beautiful. The exhibition of fruits wsh exceedingly fine. The im mense, delicious looking strawberries, cherried, apples, orange*, gooseberries, Aw., See, maue one's mouth water. There were many rare anil beatltlfal llowers on exhibition. Tlie Magnolias wefe par ticularly fine, iw were also the I'hlox, and other plants 1 do not know the names of. The Botanic Gardens of Adolaide are very highly improved and well supplied with the rarest and choicest plants, which affords one an opportunity of seeing many that they would otherwise never see.' In the plain house there is now a magnificent Japanese lily?Liliuiu Au ratinn? of extraordinary dimensions? in bloom. It is of a dazzling white color, hut down to tho centre of each leaf is a narrow stripe of yellow, with spots on each side. It is h llower one frequently see* io Japanese paintings. It m very handsome and very rare. The Australian colonics are making great preparations for the Paris Exhibition. From New South Wales alone, they are going to send a thousand specimens oi the minerals of that colony. The jew elers here have been busy manufacturing to rend, of silver, colonial gold malachite, guinea eggs, ?Stc., Ac. These eggs make the most beautiful ornaments for a table, stand or mantle-piece when set in silver. I Haw some not long since that had been sent to J span and inlaid with gold and silver that were very lovely. The Christmas holidays are fast coming on. 1 am convinced I shall not like a hot Christmas. Fancy eating a steam ing hot plum pudding and roast beef with the thermometer out of doors at 85 or 'JO in the shade! I wish that some enterprising Yankee would come out here and start an ice manufactory and a good restaurant, both of which are very much needed here. Imagine your nelf never tasting ice cream from one years end to the other. And do you know that some of these Britishers firm ly believe wo kill oil half of our nation with our ice and icesl I should not ob ject to having the opportunity of killing off a few of them with some of it! Al though Christmas will have come and gone and will be n thing of the past when this reaches you, I will clone wishing you "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." V. 0. M. DOHERTY. Tho Story of ? Woiuun Whomev er Hud a Cliniiee. I lljr Elizabeth Stuart l'helpa. la th i1n.lepcoJent. If vou want to see the inside of a station, you\l ought to have been here last night. It isn't often, ma'am, there is a night that would be suitable for you. I don't think there's been half a dozen this winter that I'd want you round if you was my dau ghter or my sister?begging your pardon, ma'am, a* tho best waj I can put it to vou luexprota my moaning and tho feeling that a man has about such things. Ever see our books? No I just you look here, if you please. Just count those t'sge*. Will you? From there to there. We took in all those in iJecember In the month of December, 1870, wo had in this one station two thousand two hundred and fifty-two men and women. Of course, there'* the usual share of arrests. There's Mahoney, ami Junes, and Sullivan, and 1'ete Cartwright, and Julia Henderson right under my finder, all arrests. All drunk. Hut most of'cm are vagrancies in the winter time. You see it was pretty cold last December,especially nights.^ And then we are careful about our ollicers. IWt allow kicking, and no more swear ing at'ein than circumstances require. These creeturs get such things -round among themselves. They have a fancy for this station, maybe. I don't know how that is. We mean to be humane on this corps. That's our theory. Some of our officers have a very gentlemanly way. Not that we think it makes much differ ence. 1 tell you, madam (you may better understand it at the outset), I don't know what your intentions are, of course?but ladie* come with so many charitablo and curious designs which it seems a iiity to disappoint; but I tell you the folks that get into these places are a hopeless lot. They're folks without a chance. Most of it* have a chance, I reckon, in this world, some time or outlier; even them poor devils. Hut by tho time they get new their chance is a* dead as John Brown's Univ. 1 don't say there's never an excep tion. Now, there was that oreetur last night. Maybe if somebody'd taken her in hand several years ago?if a lady with the way you seem to have?(I hope you'll excuse me, ma'am, hut there is a differ ence in a lady's way, such as I think you'd have to be a man, and do a pretty rough wan's work, like mine, for instance, to understand so clearly as you might.) I wished last night. I will confess, that ther'd been a lady liero. It did occur to we to go home for my wife. But I never bring my wife into the station-house. Here's tho entry?the last one, I mean. ***] "fh-Dokerty, hllen, February 23d, 1*". Vagraiuy." When I get time I'm going to count up how often that woman's "?nie has been on these books. But it *ould take a good deal oi time. It's ?orne years. 1 remember very well the first time she came. Don't know how I happen to. There's such a lot of young girls. And pretty ones, too. This one was more than commonly good-looking?an Irish girl. Nlie had a dark style and was taller than woat of 'em. I think it must have been h ve years ago. It wu the first time she'd ?wr been arretted. She took on dread ful! about it. She hadn't begun to drink then. Andwhatshewutrienupforhad never happened before. It was theBr?t time, -he .aid.

It ahegot taken Oft t wasnt for a long pull. Jiever knew her in the house at Ibe longest more than three months at a time. And when she come tn lodge, .bo steered pretty clear of the law?coming for a few nights, you see, and then off again on her own ways, they're more afraid ol the alms-house than they are ol bell, these folks. 80 (he got to be a pretty old customer always comes to this station. I dont know but that was my fault. Once I give her a pair of my wife a shoe.. " was one January morning, twelve Wow zero. She hadn't any stockings,, only a pair of old rubbers, and her bare feet came through onto the pavement, and1 it was pretty icy. I suppo" I might hate loat my place for it Eh I Cap nt don't think Doherly ever told ol me. She grew to be a pretty tough case, Doherly did. And vet there was always something I liked about Doherly. You see she u?ed to sing. And once or twice I've bad a chap here who could draw portraits 0! the1 rest. Scrawl the walls all over, if he1 wasn t watched. Oneof the worstcases w?ever bad on these hooka, lus name was Carrey -Peter Gaffrey. Killed finally with a horseshoe. He1 u?ed to talk Latin when he w? drunk and some other language. I though. it was Dutch; but the chiel heard h.?i, and said he guessed it was Greek. The fel low used to get the rest all ranged round like an audience, and then go at it. But generally ther talk religion. Its mere popular. This Doherty ?>'?l 1 "J*"k "'j .he had a beautilul voice. Tune anil again I've set up here looking over the books at dead of night, alone alongwlh an officer or so, and beard the call go up Irom a man somewhere down below. "Doherty I Sing u. to sleep, Doherty Sinsr us to sleep 1" , . And then Doherly from the women, cell would hear them, through the wall and she'd begin. And Uie fighting and the swearing and all the horrid noi.e would quiet down; and. true enough, 1 think tliey -lept. i ? NewfounSUnd dog that went to .leep when mJ played the cabinet organ. So?""" that woman would sing enough to make your flesh creep. She'd lost all ber looks liv that time. But .he never sang .o when she was sober. And sometime, .he'd strike up a pretty thing asclean, and sweet as the huah-a-by my own baby hear., ma'am, Iroui my o.n wife. lips. Soineti flies .lie .ang "Anld Lang byne or "Homo, Sweet Home;' and once that woman picked up a song called the "Three Fisher.." Maybe you know it. You could hear her all over this great building: "For men mu?twork, ?nd women mmt wetp, .?And women uiuit w<*p. ? "Don't you ever sing any hymns, Doh erty?" I says to her one night?more to we what she would nay, vou know. But she looked at me and made no answer, and passed on. Doherty never quite lost her ways, like other women, when she waa herself. Sometimes she was quite man ageable anil gentle in her way*. That night she didn't sing at all. The men kept it up, ofT and on, all night, "la Doh erty in lo-nigbt?" "Hadn't Dolierty come?" "Sing us to sleep, Doherty I sing us to sleep I" But she wouldn't open her lip?; and when morning came?it waa a snowy morning? and I let her out; she tugged a little, this way, on my sleeve, as\she went out, and said: "Good-by, lieuten ant," like a lady. She didn't show her* self again (or a long while after that. This winter Bhe's come pretty often. In December she come nigh her fortnight's term; but she cleared out just in time. Then again this month. It's been a pret ty cold winter, and this woman seemed sickly. I felt sorry for her. She'd grown unpleasant looking, and she coughed. I don't think she had any place of her own this season, anywhere. Wo couldn't find out. The Cap'n and I felt a kind of in terest, you see, she'd been on our books so long. It was only natural. But I do assure you, ma'am, there in nothing to be done for such a case. Nothing whatever. I wouldn't look like that, if I was you. You can't help it. Him that permits 'em, He strikes 'em ofl* our books, now and then, into His madam; and best for Him and them and us, I take it when it happens. Now, last night, the 2,Td of February, that woman, she'd just made out 'her fourteenth night consecutive; and I had planned to send her to Tewksbury to dav. She'd be warm in the |K)or-house, at least, and sure of her rations. Cap'n and I both felt glad of it when we saw her stagger in. He said: We've got her this time." And I said: "Here again Do* herty ?" 1 wont up to speak to her, for I felt a little sorry, too, knowing it was the last time. For you couldn't understand how familiar their faces grow, nor the kind of leeling that an officer get* about them, now and then. There is the entry juat as I put it down, after so many times. "No. 31 (she came in rather early)? iVo. 31, D:?Doherty Ellen. Vagrancy. Sick? For we saw at once .that she was pretty sick. She'd been beating about in the storm. The snow was all over her. I noticed that she had on a clean calico dress. She stood just where you're stand ing, ma'am, while I made the entry. It took lite snow some time to melt, for it had sleeted some. She looked almost as if she was in a white dress, she was so covered. She had her hair done up neat; loo. I thought I'd go and see her in the cell myself. So I went down. She walked very slow and seemed weak. "Tired, Doherty?' said I. "Lieutenant," said she, "folks used to call me Nell. Nobody called me Doherty till 1 begun to come to the police-station. I .don't think anybody called me that till I'd been in tho house," 8ild she. Then I said, for I thought I'd pacify her, if I could, "Ana you tick to-night, Nell?" "Oh, my God?" says she?just like that. Then she threw up her arms over her head, and began to sob and take on. But she didn't swear. She felt too sick, I take it. So we put her in with the rest, and she got into the corner and sat down crying. It was not till toward midnight that she begun. Thev didn't get well in and quieted before that. But every now and then the men would call: "Sing us to sleep, Doherty! Where is Doherty? Sing us to wleep!" The storm ?<et in bard toward midnight It beats heavily here upon the office win dows, as you see, ma'am; and we get a pretty clean sweep of the wind on ac count of the street running to the whar ves. I sent down once to aak how Doh erty seemed; but the officer reported tha^ she waa quiet, and he wiahed the rest were. They'd all set In, men and women, he i&id, in concert, a-crying oat: "Sing us to aleep, Doherty!" I Prettr aoon she began. I could hear her plain above the roaring of the iitorm. She began?Doherty began?that?that poor?miaerable?creetur?she that had once been a woman like other woman folka?excuse me, ma'am; but ahe'd been on our books a good man/ yearn. And I've heard her aing auch thingi! I never looked to be taken by surprise, a* Doher 1y took me. You're not surprised very easy in auch a place aa thia at anything your fellow-ainnerado. But about midnight, when the storm waa at its thick and the cells were grow* ing still, Doherty, she sat up and began to aing a hymn. She sang "Shall ws gather at the Hirer." My boy sings that at Sunday School,and my wife, she strikes it up the first thing on the cabinet organ every Sunday night Doherty sang it all through :? uAi the mimln of the BIto-, Waahla* up iU eilver ?prajr, We aball walk and worihlp ever, All the bappf, golden day" Those are the words. I thought perhaps you wouldn't know them. Folks sing them a great deal in the Baptist Church. Before you could have cocked a pistol it was as quiet as a grave all through this place. The officers looked at one another. All the men waked up. The women,they got together in a heap about her. The Cap'n said to me : uDoherty1 t singing Aymn-lunes!" I said I thought we'd go down and see; and down we went. When we looked in at the grating, I wish ma'am, you could have seen those men?ragged, rough, red, drunk. Some of 'em taken in awful crimes. No, I don't wish you had ?een them. Buwbere they set, as silent as a row of angels on the Judgment-day, a-liatening to hear that woman sing. One and another, they said: "Hush! hush!" And one fellow said: "I uaed to aing that song myself." He was up for assault and battery. Badly beaten, too, himself, about the face. He crept along the wall, I noticed, on bia knees, to get where he could hear her better. When ahe stopped, he hollered out:? "Give us some more, Doherty !" And the rest said:? I "Doherty, give us another nsalm-tune!" But one of the women said :? "Come, Nell! Sing us to sleep with the hymns." So then she began again; and she gave it to 'em, one upon another, fast and clear. Heaven knows where the creetur learned 'ein. At soiuo Protectant Sun day School, may tie, where ahe'd wandered in at holidays. They go a good deal on account of the Cbri?tmaa presents. We all got round her there?the men inside and the officer* without?and list* ened for awhile. I don't think I ever hcHrd her aing so in all my life. Doherty had a fine voice,and no mistake, if she'd been respectably born she'd have been a great winger, that woman, I take ii; and folks would have been running to the opera and to concert lulls to hear her.Z So there a!ie eat and sung. She set up in one cornet*, with her chin upou her hands, and noticed nobody; but stared straight on before her. She snng "Near er, My God, to Thee," and "Depths of Mercy;"and she ?ung' I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," and "Love at Home." ai d all those. Ami all the men and nil the women listened. Anil I saw the Cap'n draw hia hand acroat his eyes. And I'll own it waa too much for me. I will, in deed. To see her there, letting out those holy words so trustfully, as you might say, ! ma'am, as if she had aa much right to 'em as anybody?that?poor wretched?mad am, it was enough to hreak your heart to hear her. i couldn't help remembering how pretty she had been and young, and how ahe took on the first night ahe ever come to ua. Pretty soon I coine away up stairs? for she unmani.ed me so, before the men; and 1 set down here and had it nut alone. But while I wan setting here I heard a lull, and one of the JriahJjoya called out "Give us the one more, Dohertyl Then | ye can take yer sleep yerself!" And then, ma'am, she began, quite low and in a faint voice, and very sweet, and | she sung "Jeiu#, Lorer of my Poul." She sung in this way, singing louder now | and then "Let wwlo Thy bosom fly, While the hillowi near me roll, Hide me, 0 Thou eavlor, hide." And in the midst of the verse she stopped. I The men called to her, and the women ; | and the Cap'n said:? "Give us the rest, Nell!" I was rather glad he called her Nell just then; for when we got in, wondering what it all meant, and hushing up the women, ma'am, as best wq coulu, we found her lying turned a little" on her side.with her face against the wall, quite dead. Tlio Parent ol Innouinin. The parent of insomnia or wakefulness ts in nine canes out of tun a dyspeptic stoiunch. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes w}th it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain.

A moit relinblo medicine for the purpose is Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for a time exert a soporitic inflne&ce upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Hitters, on the con trary, restore nctlvity to the operations of that all important organ, and their benefi cent influence is reflected in sonnd sleep and a tranquil state of the nervous system.
