This morn'ng, in the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner. Louisa Wallace, the colored woman who was last week convicted of murder in hav- caused the death of her infant child in April, 1878, at a house on Delaware avenue, near H street, was brought up before Judze Hagner for sentence. It will remembered that the jury, on finding the verdict of gullty, accompanied | it with a letter recommending her to the executive clemency for commutation of sentence to imprisonment not beyond the limit of manslaughter—ten years in the penitentiary— not be executed. She was brought into court about 10:40 o'clock to-day, took a seat near her counsel—Judge Smith and Mrs. Lockwood—and apparently was perfectly unconcerned as to her sition. Judge Hagner premised the sentence Temarking that he had hoped that there would have ‘been a larger number of females Present, for the case was an important one. It ‘Was an awful fact—and it was not appreciated — that this offence was more prevalent here than im any other city, certainly tn this country, and jhe read an article from a medical magazine as to the growth of this crime. It was unnecessary Say that this crime was atrocious, for it was t only murder, but the t: of life of the ard helpless by one in whose hands God ed its Keeping. If there was any ex- as to the fear that if the child might come to actual want, it removed, for there are foundling where infants are cared for. The taught by the verdict is that a crime like will cry aloud for vengeance to Heaven, another that no lapse of time wit! conceal it. He had no doubt of the guilt of this party, and notwithstanding the Li of time between the commission of the offence and the arrest and the efforts of able counsel they find her convicted. The crime was an evidence of the rudest barbarism, and it suffered to go un- unished by any country, that country would afield of Liood. The laws of this cour- hibit brutal sports because of the demor- ig effects upon the population, and noth- ing could be more demoralizing that the co:a- po Bg of this offence of infranticide. The pris- ner was called on to stand up, and the court, after receiving her reply that she bad nothing tosay, imposed the sentence of thecourt that she ‘be taken to the jail from which she came, there to be confined until Friday, June 20th, 1879, when she shall, between the hours of 12 m. and 2 p.m., be taken to the place of execution in the yard, and hung by the neck until dead.

In other words: The.2 implacables come to Congress and complain that the rents are f10 high, and ask for action reducing them. Yet. the moment the Market Company voluntarily reduces the rents nearly one sixth, they refuse to accept the discount, and raise the cry that, the company 1s violating its charter, and asi Congress to commence proceedings to secure Its forfeiture. Thestatement that the company has expended but $225,000 is not true, as the treasurer hold3 bills incurred in the erection of this large and commodious market, amounting to nearly $400,060. ‘The statement that the company has received upwards of $60,000, as stall-rental each year for seven years, is also incorrect; and no collections are made from ‘ poor negroes wo er to bring a little sassafras bark and sage. and sit down without shelter on the cold side- walks,” as asserted in the communication re- ferred to. ‘The statement that the company has recetved nearly if not quite $500,000 in seven years, {3 such a gauzy stretch of the imagination, that it hardly deserves notice.

Tbe ciosing portion of this ‘‘ manifesto” Is In exceedingly taste, where it again rings the changes upon te favorite theme of “wiping out of existence” this “ foreign and hostile corpo- ration in our midst.” “This sort of clap-trap, evidently designed to arouse sectional ani- mosities, Wil not have much weight with fair-minded men in Congress, since nearly all remember, but for the sev- eral hundreds of thousand dollars honestly invested by the trustees of savings banks and other eastern ascoctations, the old and unsightly sheds, filled with vermin, Would be stand) ag ta. day in the heart of the elty, whéro now stand the largest and most convenient market duild- ings in the country. he fair-minded and substantial business men of Washington would regard It a3 a great ca- lamity to have it go forth to the money-loaning sections Cf the country that the present Con- gress was willing, at the instigation of a ring of rich market dealers, to confiscate property at the capital, erected with money borrowed from what these implacabies are pleased to term “ foreign corporations.” It ail the money thus furnished to Ss pee ’ build up and beautify the nation’s capital dur- ing the last seven years, since the market was erected, should be withdrawn, it would s9 com- pletely paralyze business that these middlemen would have little occasion to carry on business, or to denounce those who have been so largely instrumental in increasing the prosperity of Washington. The stock and bond holders in the Washt m Market have put their money into this important improvement tn faith, and have been and are now perfectly willing that the government shall repossess itseif of this whole market property at any time Con- gress deems best; and the charge that the com- Faby has attempted to “trick” the House com- Inittee, or has done any act or used any influence to prevent or hinder the passage of the bill in the Senate which had pé the Hose, is wholly without foundation. The ob- raised to the of the bill re- ferred to, in the Senate came from a source wholly beyond the influence or control of the market company. The suggestion that the Market Company bad been relieved, by a transfer of all the froat land to the District, of some portion of tne original ground rental, come3 with bad grace from tis selfish ring of middlemen who ob- jected to the incorporation of any provision to ee the poor fund, in the bili transferring ihe market to the District, which omission up- doubtediy finally influenced the District author- ities to advise Senators agalost, and probably prevented, its passage. Yet these malcontents who were willing to wipe out theentire amount now paid by the company in taxes and to the peor fund, assume to speak for the “peopl2.” The numerous fitngs in this publication, in regard to the connection of New Gampstire men with the erection of the market—coming as they do from dealers, nearly all of whomare carting their products over the city in wagons drawn by horses attached with harnesses, allot w! ich they have been glad to journey to that old rock-bound state to secure, on account of their superior quality and excellence, are 8) grossly indecent, that there is no mistaking the ‘source from which these filngs emanated. The only real controversy now between these rich dealers and the Market Company, is involved in the suit now pending before the Supreme Court, of the United States, in relation to the right of these parties to occupy their stands for 99 years upcn @ purchase admitted to have been for two years only. The case will be ready for argument and determined within the next siaty days; and if the Court should de- cice that the holders of these best stalls ean continue their occupancy for 99 years, 07 au indefiaite period, the Market Company will favor an equitable re-adjustment of the rental according to the location and value of the stalls, which would largely reduce the rents upon the retrote and poorer stalls, ard commen natn gyy, increase the rental upon those now held with- out any right at a low rental by these rich deal- 8. @ The Market Company therefore asks that the issues now ready for trial in the couris, shall net be disturbed before a final decision; unless Congress chooses to pass a bill stopping’ all Itti- gation, and taking the wuole property at a fair valuation and thus relieve the company from the heavy eg ag it has been constantly sub- jected to, in being called upon to defend itseit before nearly all the courts, and before commtt- 1ces of Congress, upon the Same matters, at one ad the same time N.

No special attention has ever been di rected to the important part the sweat and [:1! glands play in the propagation and malnic nance of disease.

THE TRUE THEORY. But. a little light flere} thrown upor th» darkness that has surrounded the intellect o the past. To a few German and French physi Clans aud specialists we owe what true progres , we are making at the present time in the cure o obstinate affections of the skin and scalp. They teach and prove (1) that diseases of the skin and scalp are Caused by a derangement of the sec- retory and excretory tubes and vessels of tae true skin, and (2) that such diseases or aifections are aggravated and maintained by poisonous fluids containing the virus of scrorula, malaria, or contagious disease, which are discharge; from the blood and circulating Muids upon the skin through the sweat and fat giands. From these facts they successfully maintain that skin diseases cannot be cured solely by internil remedies, nor solely by external remedies, bus, by a judictous use of Bath, These affections are not Wholly caused by impurities and clreulating flulds, nor are they to @ diseused glands, tubes, ves but to a pecultar an hoth.

It does net evaporate until the temperature 13 raised toimore than double that of the body, and hence is uot dissipated by heat, bat remains on the skin until completely absorbed. It does not contain a trace of mercury, arsenic, zinc, or caustic chemicals of any kind. It will not be- come rancid or spoll on exposure in any cli- mate. It will be as fresh, fragrant, soothtog, and healing fifty years hence as it 18 to-dy Contrast this with the horrible salves and oin' ments of the present time! Its fragrant odor ls no more grateful than Is tts agreeable taste. for, be it known, no remedy 1s better adapted to cure affections of the throat and lungs than Cutteura. THE SECOND A pure skin soap, appropriately name after the great remedy froin which it draws its eura- live properues, Is of a delicate natural green color, showing its wholesome orizin. Its emolient, soothing, and healing action is the same ug Cuticura, only in a modined fori. While it cannot take the place of the latter in the treatment of obatinate akin and scalp affections, it may ably asxist itat every stage, and ix positively indispensable in most cases. It 18 In every re- spect a pleasing contrast to the filthy products | bee from the refuse of sinks, vats, hotels, hospitals, and rendering-houses, reeking witii putrescence and animal parasites and the germs of contagious diseases, and innocently iabelled “skin soap.” Io recommending the Cuticura Soap as an assistant to Cuticura, as well as for the preservation of the skin of 1n- fants, of gentlemen who shave, and those who desire a fresh and wholesome skla and scalp, I but Mill to the brim the measure of my duty to the public. Permit me to pause a moment to impress upos all the necessity of frequent wastiog of the skin and scalp with soap,—using plenty of soap (free from caustic alkaltes). Whether the skin or gealp ts diseased or healthy, do not, be afraid of soap. It will assist all other remedies if dis- vased, and preserve aud freshen the healthy skin. ‘Too much ignorance prevails as to tts vaiue in the preservation of the skin aud scalp Cuticura Soap is a most fragrant and refreshing tion to the skin and will preserve the iaplexion better than all the cosmetics in ex isteuce. For the toilet, bath, and nursery, it 1s ihe purest healing and cleansing suap befor the public, and should be eagerly demanded all who value health, a clear skto, aud wh some complexion. THE THIRD great remedy submitted to me is cal’ Cuiteura Kesolvent because of {ts tntimate ion to Cuticura in the cure of skin aud seal, diseases. Of all the remedies for the puritic lion of the blood and circulating fatds that: have ever examined, none ayproach ta medical action the Wonderful propertte Resoivent.

Of such a record Messrs. Weeks & Potter may be justly proud. It 1s a grand medical triumph, a triumph that will be gratefully remembered by pees) long after the originators have Wi = ay. To relieve and permanently cure diseases of the skin and scalp which have been the torture Of a life time, to replace the repulsive evidences of disease with the glow of health, and thus yender beautiful the face of man or woman, is to deserve the gratitude of mankind. That Cuticura externally applied, with a proper use of the Cuticura Soap and the inter- nal use of the Culicura Resolvent, will cure Speedily and permanently the worse forms of ‘kin and scaip diseases with loss of hair, I think T have fully demonstrated. I know that what I have written in these col- umns Will bring JOY TO MANY, and I meanit shall. I want to make those hap- py who, by reason of these affections aud dis- vases, have been unhappy; ana that I may dos, I freely proclaim the virtues of the Cuiteura remedies, and as long a3 good-natured editors grant me space in Sa ee I mean to do sv. And as jong as Messrs. Weeks & Potter can fur- nish them at a price within the reach of ail who reed them, there must be less suffering from these intolerable disorders than ever before. Let me say, in conclusion, what I have before so often said, the Cuticura remedies will cure scalp and skin diseases that have defied the skill and resources of the ablest physicians, 1 nave demonstrated it tobe true, A grand curative bressing is thus substituted for death-dealing Poisons, Mercury, arsenic, zinc, and lead, aud @ thousand and one other revolting, poisonous, and senseless things prescribed by ignorance and superstition must now sink into obscurity before the wonderfu) healing power of Cuticura.
