A Nonste

The London Times of the 8th inst, gives an
account of woman by the name Of Sarah
Cheesman, who was to be executed for crimes
almost unparalleled in atrocity. She was tried
at the assizes of 1917 for poisoning two of her
children, and acquitted. A short time alter
wards she was again placed in peril, on charge
of like nature, but again pronounced guiltless.
On the present occasion she was indicted for
the murder of her own husband, and verdict
has at length been obtained against her The
woman has thus led a notorious and almost pub
lie career for upwards of four years The incl
dents first referred TO occurred in 1916, and since
that time it is supposed she has poisoned nole5s
than thirty persons! She carried about lozen-
ges, or " suckers" which she slipped into the
mouths of children at play. The murder of
her husband was accomplished in a manner al
most too terrible to think Of She put arsenic
into bag of rice, and mixed up the whole with
such care that every single grain of rice was
saturated with as much poison as it would take.
She then gave it to her husband at intervals,
and in small doses, consuming him by slow tor
lures, and leaving him at last, after six months
suffering with so little arsenic in his body that
its presence was scarcely discoyerabe by the
most searching tests of chemistry.

Dying to get a Living.

Lieutenant Colonel Stenbach, a gentleman
who travelled through the Indies, and whose
work on "The Pauniaub," is full of interest,
gives an account of a very curious circumstance
which occurred at Lahore. The story runs as
follows:
GA faquir presented himself at a court of the
maharaah and offered for a reward to allow
himself to be buried alive for any indefinite Pc
Rod. The maharaiuh, supposing the man de-
mented, refused to permit the experiment; but,
wearied out by the opportunities of the courtiers
and the mans pertinacity, at length gave re-
uctant consent. After ten or twelve days pre-
paratioD, the faqur gave notice of his readiness
to undergo the trial. Accordingly, in tho pres
ence OF the whole court, after placing himself in
a sitting posture, he was covered over and sewn
up in cere CLOTH somewhat after the manner Of
an Egyptian mummy, and plased inside large
wooden case, which was strongly rivetted down,

incubation with the Venom of
Rattlesnakes.

In a work called " Life in Mexico" recently
published, the fair author gives the following
account:
"We have just been hearing curious cir
cumstance connected with poisonous reptiles,
which have heard for the first time, Here,an
all along the coast, the people are in the habit Of
inoculating themselves with the poison of the
rattlesnake, which renders them safe from the
bite of all venomous animals. The person to be
inocuated is pricked with the tooth of the ser
pent on the tongue, in both arms, and on various
parts of the body, and the venom introduced in
to the wounds. An eruption comes out which
lasts few days. Ever after, these persons can
handle the most venomous snakes with impunityi
can make them come by calling them; have
great pleasure in fondling them; and the bite Of
these persons is poisouous.C) You will not be-
leye this, but we have the testimony OF seven
or eight respectable merchants to the fact. A
gentleman who breakfased here this morning
saws that he has been vainly endeavoring tC

Strange Case of Monomania.

The Pennsylvania tells the following anus
ing story of an eccentric old mono maniac in
Philadelphia It is the strangest case, an at
the same time the funniest we have read in a
twelvemonth
A hypocondrical old fellow, named Aaron
Simms, who was lately engaged in the groce ry
business somewhere in Filbert street, has con-
ceived the strange idea that he is the Old
Scratch" About two weeks ago he gave orders
10 a sign painter to prepare him board with
this inscription: "Satan, Grocer and Tea Deal
err" in large gilt letters. The sign was painted
according to directions, but the friends of the
monomaniac interfered and prevented it from be-
ing put up. His customers, not liking the idea
Of dealing with the devil, dropped off, excepting
one knavish old negro, named David Cantel,
who, by humoring the lunatic, contrived to swim
die him out of goods to a considerable amount.
A cousin of Mr.. Smms, who thought it expedi-
ent to watch over the conduct of his insane rel
ative, was in the back part of the store OIL Thurs
day evening. while Simms, alias Satan, stood
behind the counter. At this time the negro,
Dave Cantel, happened to come in, and the
cousin not being perceived by him. commenced
conversation with Simms to the following pur-
port:
81 say, old boss devil, want a few more
things on that account you know"
It's all squaredup, Dave" answered Smms,
" here it is, posted in my ledger--Dave Cantel,
debtor to six pounds of sugar, 48 cents; four
pounds coffee GA cents; two gallons molasses
60 cents; and 50 on about forty different items /;
the sum total Just $25. And here on this side
is credit-Dave Cantel by one soul, $25, to be
taken out in trade. That account is closed, old
fellow you can't get any more goods here, un-
less you've got another soul to trade away on
the same terms"
" Look here, boss" answered Dave, in tone
of expostuation, 81 often hear the debble had
no conscience, and now begin to believe it
You gwine to allow me only $25 for dat soul and
it wuth $60"
"I have given you what we agreed for" re-
Piled Simms, and don't think any nigger's
soul is worth more. l can buy lots of white
souls for half that money"
"But mister debbil, you must consider dat l
took it out in trade; Cat makes difference. A
nigger's soul is a cash article, boss but just
want what Is right, does; so you must 'blege
me with two gallons more lasses, and four quart
more black-eyed peas, and | trow in de soul of
my wife. Den you get fuss rate bargain"
At this juncture Mr.. Simms' cousin thought
proper to interfere. He sprang out and seized
the swinder, who was soon after handed over to
the agent OF the law. The friends of the mon
omanac deemed it expedent to shut up the
store, and they have taken legal measures to
place the imaginary Satan under guardianship

Mems. of a great Man.

Sir Thomas Browne, the famous author Of
the Relig,O Medeci, was a physician of as much
goodness as genius, and some of his memoranda
of rules for conduct are curious and instruct
i've Il
Upon sight of beautiful persons, to bless
God in his creatures; to pray for the beauty of
their souls, and to enrich them with inward
graces to be answerable unto the outward. Up
on sight Of deformed persons, te send them in
ward graces and enrich their souls, and give
them the beauty of the insurrection.
To be sure that no day pass without calling up
on God in a solemn-fo formed prayer, seven times
in the compass thereof: that is, in the morning,
and at night, and FIVE times between. . .
To pray and magnify God in the night; and on
my dark bed, when cannot sleep, to have snort
CALCULATIONS whenever awake; and when the
four o'clock bell awakes me, or upon my first dis
covery of the daylight, to say the collect of our
liturgy. To pray in all places when privacy in
viteth-in ony house, highway, or street; and
to know no street or passage in this city which
may not witness that have not forgot God or
my Saviour in it. 9. To take occa-
sion of praying upon the sight of any church
which see or pass by, as ride about. Since
the necessities of the sick, and unavoidable di-
versions of my profession, keep me often from
church, yet to take all possible care that might
never miss the sacraments on their accustomed
days. To pray daily, and particularly for sick
patients, and in general for others, wheresoeve-,
howsoever, under whose care soever; and at the
entrance into the house of the sick, to say, The
peace and mercy of God be in this place."

Insect Mesmerism.

Although the cnerroaehea ab0unded incoave-
niently at the Mauritius, it was not without pity
that saw them consigned, as they frequently
were, to living grave by wicked looking in
sect much resembling Spanish fly, 1t was i'm
possible to witness his proceedings, combined
with his gitterng blue and green dress, without
imagining the elfsh demon of pantomime lead
ing an innocent victim to perpetual entombment
In some haunted cavern. Let the cockroach be
moving ever so briskly across the wall, he has
no sooner caught glimpse of the fatal insect
not quarter of his size-than all energy leaves
him, and he stands, stupidly resigned. The fly
then walks up to hirn, looks him hard in the face
and presently putting forth some apparatus
which stands him in place Of finger and thumb
gently takes the cockroach by the nose, and
leads him daintily along for foot or two. Leav-
ing him there, he commences a thorough eXami-
nation of the neghborhood beating the ground
up and down like well trained setter, and, not
finding what he wants, returns to the coCkroach,
and leads him on little further, when the same
process is gone through sometimes for hours,
till the whole wall has been examined Chinks
there are in plenty, but they do not suit him; he
has taken the measure of his victims bulk, and
means to lodge him commodously. Presently a
suitable hole is found, and the fly, moving back
ward, gently pulls the cockroach after HIM into
his last home. What horrors are perpetrated in
this dark recess cannot be more than surmised
The object undoubtedly is to engage him as
wet-nurse. No doubt the poor cockroach is
bored in some part not vital, and eggs laid in
him; purpose, indeed, for which this succuent
motherly frame seems peculiarly adapted. And
not improbably, during this vicarious incubation,
he is supplied with food, until the young, of
whom he is pregnant, being hatched, commence
in return for his services, to gnaw his bowels,
their repast"
1t is in vain that during the scene above de-
scrbed, you urge the cockroach to seek safety in
fight The poka of a STICK ia disreGardad hH
seems dead to all hints nay, move him to an
other part of the wall, he waits there with the
same stolid Indifference the return of his tormen
tor. Probably sly thrust is given him in thu
first meeting of noses, or some "leprous distl
ment" dropped in his ear; for he has entirely
the air of being hocussed. d.-Voyags to the .Mau

he is very much exposed where he lives, and is
obliged to travel much on the coast; and when
he goes on these expeditions, he is always ac-
companed by his servant-an inocuated negro,
who has the power of curing him, should he be
bitten, by sucking the poison from the wound.
He also saw this negro cure the bite given by
an inoculated Indian boy to white boy, with
whom he was fighting, and who was the stroger
of the two. The stories of the eastern jugglers,
and their power over these reptiles, may, per-
haps, be accounted for in this way. I cannot
say that should like to have SO much snaky
nature transferred into my composition, nor to
live among people whose bite is venomous."
