German &iver----A writer in the Ohio Reposi-
tory remarks that there are few persons aware
of the poisonous qualities of this compound. Ii
is very good for gun-mountings, and various other
uses, but never should be used in the form of
spoons, vessels for cooking. It is composed
1t oxydizes very readily in contact with any acid
even slight vegetable ones; and the small parti-
Giles which taken into the stomach impercep-
tibIy, act as sure poison. Pure copper spoons
would be preferable. Nickel is equally as poison

1t is within the recollection of nearly all our
readers that the reason of the State of Tfnnessec

refused, by majority Of one vote, to 90 into an e.

members OF the one-vote majority having in an

in this respect, suggested their disposition TO rest
their case upon an appeal TO the People, the Wing

PREDicTioN-Lorenzo Dow is said to have pre-
dlcted that in 1912 England would be without a
King, and the United States without President.
The first part of the prophecy is true beyond ca
VII ; and If The position taken by the Enquirer on
the death of the late President, be correct, then
capt. Tyler is not the President, and the whole
prediction is verified. We suppose there are
some who will not admit the Captain to be Pre-
sIdent on any ground, and with them the famed
Lorenzo will have credit for being gifted with the
spirit Of prophecy.
