SENATOR SALISBURY.

The following sketch of Senator Sauls
bury is from lady correspondent at
Washington: "a portly, handsome man,
with curling, black hair, dark eyes, and
handsome features. A man endowed by
nature with generous impulses and a
kind heart, a man prejudiced, passionate
and ungoverned, who loves caste and
hates equality. Ihave seen two pictures
Of him, never to be forgotten. One, near
the close of last summers session, when,
clothed in handsome broadcloth, in his
right mind, with prayer book in his
hand, met him with Mrs, Jefferson Da-
Wis (who was clothed like an empresSl,
going to church. The other, not many

NELLIE DEAN.

Speaking of Nellie Dean, the heiress
who married her fathers eoachmsn, a
Richmond paper bitterly says: If she

ing accounts to day in Sing Sing. If she
had married General, the world might
be ringing with the name of her husband,
alliteratively attached to the word Beast.
If she had, married lawyer, his con-
science might to day be burdened with
the innocent blood of judicially muir
dered woman. If she had married a
President, her husband might to-day be
in Hades, and her own reputation disa-
greeably mixed up with distracted linen,
and china unaccounted for. An honest
coachman is better husband than a
dishonest anybody"

Return of the "BIask Death. !"

1t is long time since the stealthy
horrors of the plague have quilted their
lairs in Egypt and the two Turkeys to
feed the cemeteries of Western and
Northern Europe. Their last victims
in England were struck down in 1865.
They fingered in France until 1920, and
left their traces in the Neapolitan do
miniOns as late rs 1916. OF the Black
Death, or King of Plaques, which raw
aged all Europe in the 18th century,
the civilized world has since had only
a legendary memory.
But there are signs that this monster
has not ceased to thirst for the blood of
the fair skinned races of the north
and the Western Continent, which was
comparatively unpeopled when it
rosmed abroad before, may yet he call
ed upon to render up it's quota of vic
Tins to hideous and unsparing pesti-
lence. As it appears In the explicit
accounts published, Ireland, especially
the City of Dublin and its vicinity, has
first felt the SLY greed of a disease so
closely resembling the Black Death of
the olden time, that the most eminent
physicians who had to deal with it are
alarmed and mystified.
The symptoms of this maiady are,
first, bilious vomiting and purging,
succeeded by acute headache and in
coherency; then a purple eruption,
usually manifestiug itself upon the
breast and shoulders, and spreading
over the entire body; then debility;
collapse, accompanied with paralysis,
and sometimes with dislocation of the
head and spine; and at last, death.
The duration of the first variety of the
cases which have occurred since March,
1866. has averaged eighteen hours from
the first indisposition until the fatal
instant. The duration of the second
variety has averaged from three to five
days; and that of the third variety,
which is the only one in which recove-
ry has taken place, has reached many
days and even weeks. The contagiOn
of the sickness is shown in the state
ment made in regard to eases which
have occurred among soldiers.-N y.
