finite a large practice and stands high as a medi
r gentleman. His wife's lingering condition
f -came so well knawn, that a reporter accosted
l-.:m on the Streets of Memphis, one day, when
the following dialogue was had : '
"Doctor, 1 am glad to learn that your wife
has regained her health after several years of
misery and suffering."
Yes, sir, she is now quite restored to health
to the great astonishment of myself and all who
knew her."
" Have you any objection to telling me het
complaint and the remedy ?"
None in the least. She labored under an
affliction peculiar to the sex, attended with loss
of appetite, emaciation, prostration, impaired se
cretions, cold extremities, hysterics, constant
headache, extreme nervousness, and was bed
ridden over three years. My skill and that of
other physiciangewas exhausted and she was
given up to die. Some one mailed me the Formula
for Dr. Dromgoole's English Female Bitters.
1 procured a few bottles and placed her upon its
use, and It cured her like magic. It is a won
derful medicine, and I take pleasure in recom
mending it to all women who need a tonic ox
female regulator."

Dallas. Mav 8. About 10 o'clock this morn
lng the heavy ccrnice on the City National
Bank building. Lamar xtreet. fell whh a crash.
The building fronts on Fl-n street, running
back on Lamar 200 feet. nn the whole of toe
cornice along the latter street fell, except
a out nity feet next the front. Mrs. n. n,.
Andrews and Mrs. B. B. Curtis were walking
along the sidnwalk. J. S. Thatcher. Assis 'ant
uity Engineer, was stanaing Dy tne Diiuu:ng.
They were all struck down, and their escape
from death seems miraculous. Tons of br ck
and mortar entirely covered the sidewalk
and Mr. Thacker was found to have sustained
cuts and bruises about the head which are con
sidered dangerous. Mrs. Burtis suffered two
severe cuts.one on the head and one ou : he fore
head, both extending to the bone and making
very uirlv wounds. She also had a fearful
bruise on one of her limbs. Her hurts, though
quite serious, are not considered fatal. Mrs.
Andrews was the most seriously hurt. M' e
sustained a cut on the hea i .id another
through her lower lip and lost sev ral teech
aiie BStuu is not broken, but pnysicisns
say her breathing is very
much like that of or.e who has conclusion of
the brain and thev ftr fatal results fn in the
shock and internal injuries. Mechanics who
exam ned the building say that th- fall was
caused by the weight of electric wires fastened
to tne cornice and whose constant swiuyiug in
the wind caused a great strain upon it. The
building is occupied b tha City National
Bank : A. Ro.enthiers. tailoring establishment :
J. W. Sliel ton's bar room ana the Wrst-era
Union telegraph office. Many of the wires of
the Western Union were broken down and
a force of men ' were put to w rk
in a few minutes after the accident to repair
the damage. The' damage to the property of
occupants is only slight. The loss ou the
building is probably $1,000, hut the structure
may be condemned by the authorities, as a
portion of the same building fell about four
years ago, and the occupants baiely escaped
with their lives. A stock of eroods were badlv
damaged, and litigation ensued, which only
terminated a few weeks since in heavy dam
ages against the owners of the structure
Heavy damage suits will follow the prcsr nt
calamity. The building is owned bytheCliy

ernoon. Ihe stae was set. rs a midii
Many distingdished men occtibled seats on the

Nominations for the ensuing year being in
ordert General.John O. Robinson advanced on
hls-crutches. He thanked his friends for the
mention of his name for Commander of the
Army of tlie Poiomac, but would under no cir
cumstances allow it to be used in opposition to
that of the illustrious soldier now holding the
position, and he moved the secretary be au
thorized to cast one ballot on which to be in
scribed tlie name of U. . Grant.
Various corps assoc. atlons seconded.
General Robinson's motion, ad it was
carried by standing vote amidst the wildest
enthusiasm. Other officers we"e a so re
elected. Gen W. H. Brown, ot Washington,
suggested that, as the R. E. Lee camp, of Rich
mond, Va., were in tlie immediate neighbor
hood, it would be both generous and graceful
to invite them to oc upy seats on the floor of
th house, and make their acquaintance.
A motion to that effect was made and sec
onded, wben two or three men jumped up and
vio'ently oppo-ed Such proceedings; one of
them saying,"Rebel,no matter now repentant,
had no iutere?t in the business of Union sol
i;n and their presence was an insnlt which
he "could not endure. - Nearly ever man in
the house was instantly on his feet to try "to
make himself hara, and for a while there was
a scene of confusion which threatened to ter
minate in a personal enepunter. The c airman
vainly endeavored to secure order ana threaten
ed to call the. police. Quiet was finally restored
and a committee appointed to invite ex-con-?ederat,e
so'diers to inset their old opponents
after the business xectlng was disposed of.
Aresoluiion from the Grand Army of the
Republic, vnerans of the Union, was adopted
asking that the civil-service rules referrlr gto
the fact that the preference that should be
given persons honorably discharged from the
army or navy in the distribution of offices shall
be strictly Inforced.
Also a resolution asking congress to appro-
pniic suuicieub iuuus ior uio erection oi a
statute to Major-General Joseph Hooker.
After adjournment the corrhiittee appointed
to invite the R. E. Lee camp to seats on the
floor came In' bringing with them a long string
of men in grey suits. They were
greetPd with great applause, and
in return.filled the house with a genuine "rebel
yell." The ex-Confederates were scattered
among the blue coats, and officers were Invited
to the stage. Col. McGinnis, of Montana, wel
comed them, and the Commanding General
Cooke responded. Short addresses were also
made by Col. Chas. Marshall, Chief of General
Lee's stair, and Col. Evans, ef Richrrrand. -
The reception at Ford's Opera-house, at
night, was a brilliant success. Hundreds ot
ladies were preseat. On the stage were many
men distinguished in Military circles. In the
audience were the R. E. Lee ex Confederates.
Gen. King, See, e' ary of the Society, irad the
following telegram from Gen. Grant: "P ease
