Fusil Oil of which so much is said in
connection with liquid authorizations, is a
liquid colorless when pure, Of offensive
smell and burning taste, obtained by contin-
uing in fermentation in the distiling pros
cess after the alcoholic portion is drawn off.
Its action upon the animal system is that of
positive poison, its vapor producing nau-
sea, headache and giddiness. Its presence
in liquors is highly injurious, and indicates
bad distillation or the use Of damaged grain.
1t may be detected by agitating the liquor
with water and leaving it standing for the
oil to rise to the surface. One ounce of flu
sill Gil kills a rabbit in four minutes.

INHUMAN.-English papers give an
account of the discovery of a man
who had been kept in chains for sixty
years. His custodian had kept him
clean and well fed, and when released
he showed no signs of joy. The fol-
lowing narrative seems almost incred-
ible: On entering the living room
they found poor idiotic man, seven
ty four years old. seated on and chain
ed to chair by his wrists. His legs
were also secured by manacles and
the chair was in turn chained to the
wall. This position he occupied all
day, even when partaking of his meals.
Visiting his bed room, the gentleman
found that at night he was subject to
similar cruelty. There were leg irons
at the foot of the bed, and it seemed
that at night iron also encircled his
legs and wrists. The wretched man,
however, is said to have been kindly
treated in other respects, and his well
nourished and perfectly clean form
showed that he had been we'll attend
ed to. In answer to inquiries Black
stated that the man had been insane
since he was fourteen years of age;
that he had been in his custody for
the past thirty years, and for thirty
years previously he had been in
charge of another custodian and by
him chained in the same way.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF AN ITALIAN
BANDIT.-The Italia of Naples gives
account of the brigand chief De Mar
tino. This man was one of the most
ferocious bandits that ever infested
the Abruzzi, and was always accom-
panied i'll his incursions by woman
even more inhuman than himself
For some time past the royal troops
had been following his traces. and had
at last learned that he frequently
quilted the band to indulge in wild
orgies in small valley completely
locked in by mountains, on the terri
tory of Paglietta. Some days back
detachment, while searching that dis
trict, discovered in a thicket a sort of
hut made of branches. One of the
men approached silently on his hands
and knees, and believing he heard
noise inside, returned and informed
his companions, who then surrounded
the spot and called on the persons
concealed to surrender. The reply
was a gunshot which struck a carbi-
neer named Caruso in the leg, but the
flash had set fire to the dry bushes,
and the flames spread with such rap
idity that it was impossible to enter
or leave the hut.
A few minutes later a woman rush.
ed out through the burning branches
and fell almost inanimate before the
troops, who recognised her as the
mistress of De Martino. She made
signs that there was another person
in the flames, but the soldiers could
not approach until the fire had burned
itself out, when the charred remains
of the bandit were found with the
barrel of his gun and the blade of
his poniard by the side of him, the
rest of those arms having been con-
sumed. During the coLfagration fre-
quent detonations were heard as the
cartridges of the brigand exploded.
The woman died half an hour later,
and the two bodies were buried on the
spot where this horrible tragedy had
taken place. The wounded soldier is
in critical state, and little hopes are
entertained OF saving his life.
