CHILD POISONED BY SWALLOWING PHAR-
OAK SERPENT EGGS On Thursday a wo-
man named Kearney, came near to putting
an end to the existence of her child, a boy
eleven years of age, by administering to him
three & Pharoah serpent eggs" for worms,
with which the child was afflicted Mrs.
Kearney, it appears, on the day mentioned,
was engaged in cleaning house for lady
in Centre Park. In rummaging the house
she discovered box of the eggs and reading
"serpents on the cover, she at once conclu-
ded that they'were pills-medicine for worms
she pocketed three of them These she
gave to the child, who soon commenced vom-
iting, throwing up blood, and was made
very sick. The alarmed mother ran to the
house where she had been working, and asked
if there was poison in those pills" She was
told they contained deadly poison, and with
out another word she ran for DIR. Shipman,
who repaired to her house, and promptly adj
ministering antidotes, it is believed has saved
the child's life. Itwas very low last evening.
1t will be a great wonder if the child lives.
Mrs Kearney says she intended to tell the la
dy for whom she worked that she had taken
three pills from box in her bureau butNdid
not think to do so.-Rochester Union.

| FATE OF DESPERATE MEN.-Bob johnson,
or Bob Mcneil, as his real name is, met the
| almost invariable fate of men of his class in
| this city. He fell in gambling saloon, rid
died with balls and hacked with bowie
knives. Each wound he received represen-
ted some like wound he had inflicted on
Others and the number of his mortal injuries
hardly exceeded the number of homicides
which he had perpetrated in his violent and
turbulent life. He was, we trust, the last of
a class of men who, some years ago, made
the name of our city Infamous by their deeds
of unparalleled turbulence and violence,
which were too long and too patiently borne
by the peaceful citizens.
OF these men, the names of five occur to
US, who were victims of the system of assas-
sination which they inaugurated, and which
gained for them the well merited title of
Thugs. Jim Logan fell in an attempt to
murder respectable citizen.
Abe Phillips was surrounded at night by
his own recent allies, and stabbed and shot
until he fell into the gutter CORY corpse ;
Horton was one of Bob Johnson's many vic
tins; Forbes was overmatched in muir
derous affray; and the soul of Bob johnson.
escaping through dozen murderous wounds,
has gone to join the congenial society of his
fellow-murderers.
We know nothing of the circumstances of
the killing of this man. 1t may have been
murder. 1t may have been iustifable honli-
eide. Murderer and bad man as johnson
was, the law does not sanction the taking of
his life by any individual or Individuals
But 1T is certainly cause of general gratifi-
cation, and gives sense of relief. strength
ems our belief in retributive Justice, when
such men are thus removed from a commu-
nifty which they have so long disturbed and
disgraced by their infamous deeds.-M o.

THE TEST OATH SOUTH.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day sent
to the Senate a reply to resolution of that
body requesting a duly certified copy of an
official oath taken by Albert Gilmore as col
lector of customs at Mobile, Ala. He enclo-
ses copy of Mr.. Elmore's official oath,
from which it appears he swore that he has
never voluntarily borne arms against the
United States, and that he had never volun-
tarily given aid and comfort to persons en-
gagged N armed rebellion, etc.
In reference to the recital in the preamable
of the resolution that Mr.. Gilmore is alleged
to have held office under the late Confeder-
ate Government, and also to have otherwise
given aid and support to the same so that he
therefore could not honestly and truthfully
take the oath prescribed by law the Secre-
tary deems it his duty to say that the De-
partment was informed before the appoint
ment that Mr. Gilmore had never held office
under the late Confederate Government nor
given the same aid and support; that al
though a resident of Alabama during the war
and at one time sub officer of the A'abama
Legislature, yet that he never took the oath
of allegiance to the Confederacy, and was

The superiority and availability of white
labor over that of the freedmen is apparent
to every observer. Good and clean crops are
found on every plantation cultivated by
white labor in this county, while in but few
instances can we say as much for black Ia
borer. The German settlements everywhere
present beautiful fields of thrifty growing
crops, clear of weeds and grass, despite the
long and continued wet season. In this the
Germans are not alone. The Americans, who
have been denounced by the Northern fac
ton as a dependent thriftless populace-
preferring want and degradation to labor
seeking to obtain their daily bread from the
sweat of another's brow, has been fairly ref1-
ted and the often repeated assertion proved
false to the letter. The dignity of labor is
being fully manifested in Texas The young
the middle aged and the old of both sexes
OF the white race are seemingly vieing with
each other, although unaccustomed as they
are and have been to labor, in presenting a
respectable progress in which they have not
been found wanting.-Brenhana Inquirer.
