A SLEEPING CAR INCIDENT-The Milwau-
kie News tells the following incident, which
was witnessed by friend in a sleeping car ON
the Detroit and Milwaukee road
The car was nearly full, and in one of the
compartments was maiden lady, neither fat
nor fair bat forty, who was wonderful exer-
cised at her close proximity TO some naughty
men, who were much amused at her nervous
ness. Looking about her with sIdelong glancer,
and shrugs of disgust, she finally mustered
courage u put on her light cap. which ope-
ration was almost too much for her. This feat
accomplished, she again cast trigh tspe ed glances
at her surrounders, obviously afraid to pro-
ceed further. Al this juncture the conductor
came in, whom she Immediately button -holed,
and in whispers heard in the remotest part of
the car she Indignantly interfogated him 10
know If there were no curtains in the house
Certainly, main, F." said The affabie cond uctor,
who hastened TO procure some, at which she
appeared exceedingly grateful. They were
soon drawn, and she proceeded to make herself
as comfortable as the nature OF the circum-
stances allowed.
But she was destined 10 enjoy very little re-
pose, for every new conner in pursuit OF quar-
ters, who passed her crib, would inquiriugiy
draw her curtain 10 see II II was occupied,
when smo thered scream would issue forth,
which caused an instan taneous dropping OF
| " the rag" when the persec ted damsel would
su bside for "a moment, only to be aroused on
the arrival OF some new place e-hunter As this
process continued during the night amid the
occasional outlaws OF the spec taturs il may be
imagined that the poor victim obtained very
little satisfac ton for her fifty cents OUTLAY
and that she Internally vowed never to place
herself In a like predicament again.

No oSTRYCHNINE WHIsEEY AT the meet
ing of the American Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton, OF New York, op the llth inst, a paper
was read hy Mr. Carney, of Boston, on the
frauds and deceptIons practiced on the public
by adulterations OF drugs In one popular
idea, however, says the report, there is a great
error-ln regard TO The strychn inc in whiskey.
In a large numbe Of whiskey analyses made,
during the past year, we have not been able to
detect in n single instance the presence OF the
least trace of strychnine, and we have not been
able to ascertain from any reliable source that
the practice of using strychnine in whiskey is
ever followed. The fact also that one part OF
strychnine will impart sensible bitterness TO
6UO,0u0 parts of water would seem TO preclude
its being used for this purpose.

fatality of the gale off Point-a- -Hache, La,

"Mr Gay, wife and daughter, were drowned
in The Mississippi, in front of their residence,
a few miles below Point-a-la- Hache, 1t d

considering it too dangerous for bis family TO
remain in their dwelling, transferred them to

friends of the deceased. fisherman was
picked up last Monday evening. al o'clock,
from skif in the river by the Ranger. he
says that a party OF thirty-three others and
himself were encamped near Bird Island at
the time the gale commenced. The first indi-
cation they had was when the wind COM
menced blowing hurricane, and the water
rose q foot aud a half in few minutes. II
then moderated for two hours, when IL re-
covered its fury with greater fo-ce than
ever. The thirty three men who were with
him took to their sail boat, called the Look

A BURNING SPRING.-Near Wheeling, Va,
there has recently been discovered burning
spring, which has excited cons iderable curios
iIy and attention. About twenty-five years
ago an attempt was made to strike a salt we'll
at this point, and a hole of nearly a thousand
feet was sunk in the vain attempt. 1t is upon
this spot where the burning spring now exists
There is a continual rum bling noise about the
place, produced by the water rising up TO the
surface of the we'll. Throw piece of burn
ing paper or a lighted match upon the spot,
and instantly red flame Will spring up, dance
about and continue To burn until blown out
by strong wind or drowned by the rain
There is no appearance of oil about the place,
and the fame produced is not unlike the flame

The RIGHTS OF FRENCH NATURALIZRD CIT
IZKNs.-The decision of the French Tribunal
In the case of Puyoon, natoraliZed French
citizen of the United States, goes further than
was first reported. The impression was, that
he was released by the French Government
from mlitary service because, at the time he
emigrated from France, the service was not due
But the SECESSION rested upon the law of France
that the quality of a French citizen is forfeited
by naturalization, and that foreigners cannot
serve in the armies OF France. 1t makes no
difference, therefore, whether Frenchman
emigrates before or after military service be
comes due, SO soon AS he becomes naturalized
In a foreign country he ceases to be "A French
man, and the French Government has no

Col. RupLER.-Col. Rudler, of Alabama

Walker, was an officer in one of the Southern
volunteer regiments in the Mexican war. He
emigrated TO California in 1889 A letter saws
He was an active member of the Whig party
during the Presidential election in 1852 and
in 1854 he received the nomination of that
parry for the Office of Sheriff of San Joau uin
county, but was defeated by the Democratic
party, which elected their whole ticket In
1855 he disposed OF bis property and left Cali
fornia to Join General Walker in Nicaragua,
and has up % this lime been with him in all
his expeditions. 1t was Ool. Rudier's great
est fault in having been, by some unaccouAta-
BILE means, infatuated with Walker and his
destiny, although those who are well ae-
quainted with Col Radler will readily admit
that ne was in every respect the superior OF
General Walker, in point Of sound judgment
and discretion, and had he been the leader OF

would have been realized. Col Rudler was a
true and brave soldier, gentlemaniy in all his
intercourse with his fellow men. mild and
quiet in MS demeanor, and honorable il all
