The Nashville Banner has the following in reference to the beautiful poem "Sand-ringham," by Mrs.

M.J. Preston, of Lexington, Va. the English Premier, Mr. Gladstone, referring to the recovery from the late almost fatal illness of the Prince of Wales, adduced as one proof of American sympathy in, his beautiful poem called "Sandringham," composed by a Southern poetess; par excellence, Mrs. Margaret J.

Preston, of Lexington, which he styled a 'poem of extraordinary merit." Soon after, the editor of the London Cosmopolitan, who had republished "Sandringham" from the columns of the New York Albion came out with the following paragraph "We are sure," he said, that it will gratify Mrs, Preston, of Virginia to be informed that Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales, has written us a letter of thanks for republishing her beautiful poem, 'Sandringham, in the Cosmopolitan." Such honors to a Southern woman of genius should delight every patriot in pur section, and be noticed by our press ev-eyery where." Meningitis The Destroyer in Newberry Superstition. The Newberry Herald of the 24th inst. says: We regret to record that this fearful disease is still doing its work of death in certain sections of this county. Quite a number have died since our last issue, and is said that not one in five recovers.

Brooklyn reporter has recently interviewed a physician who has just saved two children from severe attacks of cerebro-spinal meningitis.

His treatment was bromide of potassium to prevent further congestion, opium for the delirium, a supportive treatment in the shape of wine, whey, beef tea, and counter-irritants to tne parts ot the spine affected. Perhaps this item will prove of interest tb our physicians, and we suggest that they cut it out and refer to it in case they are called upon to attend cases of this terrible disease: Columbus (Oa.)
