her trips on Sunday. She IS an outand-out Algiers
craft, double hull, elegant, roomy and convenient

Coon US by 4 LITTLE US.-As everybody
knows, the arsenic which killed Miss 0tReiIly, and
the arsenic which killed several members Of Col.
Lemley's family, was in each case detected by
chemical analysis, made by that able aud accom-
plished Professor of Chemistry, DR.. Isaac N. Craw
cour. The Professors important work in this re-
spect, and the refusal of the Common Council to
pay him his bill for the analysis of Miss O,ReiIIys
remains, naturally made the whole business mat
ter Of frequent tabletalk In the Professors family.
Among those who heard all this talk was bright
little boy about years old, brother OF the Pro
fessor's wife. No one suspected that he had ever
paid any attention to the talk at table; but day
two since twas discovered that be had listened
and learned to the best of his childish ability and
had picked up the idea that analysis meant cure
forpoison-an antdote- something to save per-
son after being poisoned.
The discovery was made, as we have said, d day
or two since. The Professor had an extra dinner
for visitors, and the dessert including, among
other things, quite quantity Of candy and other
confectionery into which the little brother-in-law
went without stint. A young gentleman present
fearing that the little fellow would gorge himself,
said to him, e Don't eat SO much of that you'll
kill yourself; don't you know there's poison in that
candy?" The little one, crunching away, said,
S'pose it is poison, amt it oil rights. {. How ali
right?n asked the surprised monitor. /. Why
said the little one, ifit poisons me, won't brother
Issac analyse me Y rs. 5 It.
