An Appeal From L. I. Redmond. The following letter from Lewis R. Eedmond to A. B. Williams, editor of the "Daily News," and puiblished in that paper, speaks for itself : AUBURN, N. Y., Eeb. 20. SIR: I received a letter fron my old friend, W. G. Fields, a few days ago, speaking of some of my old acquaintances of former days past and gone, and your name was among the list. So I take the 6g portunity of addrebsing you.. I amu in a critical state of health at this period, lingering as it were, be tween life and death. My physi cal health is fast on the decline. I have the consnmIption in its worst stages. I spit a great deal of blood. I have been living in hopes of returning to my native land ere this as the climate does not agree with consumptives here, as it is cold. There has been snow on the ground since November past ip to date, althoulgh.quite moderate here to-day. * * * * I ascertained a few days ago that persons whose names I will not mention here, having nothing to do but trouble other's affairs, intro duced themselves to my friend, W. G. Fields, and are trying to draw his attention toward ine and my case to their own satisfaction, for fear he would help me out of my present situation. May I ask you, my friend, to insert in your paper my eircumstance.s. I can certify that W. G. Fields has been like a father toward ine in every respect, as I have known him for the past ; ycart and lie has been to me as irue as steel. Before my trial I resided at his residence, andI hej (W. G. Fields) gave me goodl ad vise to the true way. lie has been dearer to me than a brother, and if' my father were alive to-day and should make a statement to me he were not my friend I would not be lieve his words. I have neither parents or kin to take an interest in this my lonely suff erings in a strange land without any dear ones to bid me my last good-bye on earth ; no one to take me by the hand and say at comforting wordl. You cannot for onie brief moment realize my situation. May the friendls -of my countiiry ralily anid bring me home to die. If some help does not reach me soon I anm o se.

'No, Charles, you do not ; you pay very little attention to me,' said his wife. 'Well, my (ear,' observed the wicked husband, did you ever see a man run after a horse-ear after he had caught it?' ---For several years past it has been customary for young men to shoot the girl who refuses to mar ry them.
