TRlCHINA.
It Kills Four Persons I'm Ballard
County. XIV.

COumty, NY
Four persons were killed by eating meat
in which there were trichina in Ballard
county last week. The stomach of one OF
them has been sent to this city for examin-
alton. The facts of the case are about as
follows: The victims were German family
by the name of Heydaker. 1t seems a ham
was purchased, Of which Mr.. and Mrs.
Heydaker and two of the children ate con-
siderable Quantities In raw state
Soon after Mr.. Heydaker was taken
sick, and DR.. ]. s. Sea was called
in. The doctor did not at first discover
anything alarming about the symptoms,
but the patient grew worse, until Wsdnes-
time Mrs Heydaker became i'll with similar
symptoms. Drs. Jewett and Smith were
called in for consultation, but none of them
were familiar with the symptoms, nor
could they afford relief. On Friday Mrs.
Heydaker died, and on Saturday the two
little children who had eaten the pork died
q similar death to that which had taken
away the father and mother.
Thus four persons in all were poisoned
by the one fatal meal. The two children
a girl and boy-were aged respectively
about seven and two years old. One little
girl of an intermediate age-probably
about five years old-who did not eat the
meat, had not been taken sick at last ac-
counts.
From all the circumstances attending the
deaths. the physicians are of the opinion
that they were occasioned by trichina.
The pork which it is supposed contained
the trishina was raised in Ballard county
and cured in the usual manner. Louisville

The Proposed Great Bridge Over the
Lower Hudson

The proposed suspension bridge across
the Lower Hudson will stretch across the
river from Fort Clinton to Anthony Nose,
with one clear span of / 600 feet, suspended
from stone towers OF sufficient height to
sive it an elevation of 155 feet above high
water mark. Including approaches, the
total length of the bridge viii be 2, 499 feet.
The entire structure will be composed of
steel combination truss and cable-work.
There viii be four systems oftwenty cables,
linked or rooted deeply into the rock and
abutments of the towers. Each cable will
be about fourteen inches in diameter, inter-
laced and secured by innumerable other
and smaller cables. The cables will con-
tain 81, ,165, $50 feet or 20. 302 miles of
steel wire.
The total weight of iron and steel in the
bridge will be about 1900 tons, and the
total suspended weight will be 1851 tons.
The total measurement of masonry will be
So, ,04 e1bic yards. 1t is calculated that
this bridge could safely support train
drawn by sixty locomotives, or more than
six times the weight that can ever be
crowded upon it at once. A large number
of railroads are to be consolidated in the
enterprise, among which are the Hudson
River, the Boston, Hartford and Erie, the
Midland, the Delaware and Lackawanna,
the Harlem, the Danbury and Norwalk, the
New Tork and New Haven, Hartford,
Springfield, Connecticut Valley and others,
with all their tributaries As q route from
the great west and Pennsylvania coal fields
to the north and east, the bridge is one OF
the most important engineering enterprises
ever attempted in the vicinity of New
York. Nlt+at 80

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself An Indian chief
Of the Seminole tribe was taken prisoner
by his enemies, the Cherokees, and doomed
to torture, but fell so seriously i'll that il
became necessary to wait for his restora-
ton to health before committing him to
the fire. And As he lay prostrated by dis.
ease in the cabin of the Cherokee warrior,
the daughter of the latter, a young dark
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in love
with the young chieftain, and wishing to
save his life, urged him to escape; but
he would not do SO unless she would flee
with him. She consented. Yet before they
had gone far. impelled by soft regret at
leaving home, she asked permission of her
lover to return, for the purpose of bearing
away some memento of it. So, retracine
her footsteps, she broke sprig from the
white rose which climbed up the poles of
her fathers tent, and. preserving it during
her fight through the wilderness, planted
it by the door of her new home in the land
Of the Seminoles. And from that {lav this
beautiful flower has always been known be-
tween the capes of Florida and throughout
the Southern States by the name Of the
Cherokee rose. ss <as.

Killed By Wild Parsnips.

We find in our state exchanges frequent
mention Of serious sickness from eating
wild parsnips. So far We hf We heard of but
two persons dying from is effects. The
first was Mr.. e. n. Mulford, of Buchanan
county. On the 9Th instant, while at work
in his garden, which had not been cult
waited for two years past, he pulled up some
parsnip, of whfOh he ate; and thinking ii
quite desirable, gathered . quantity of il
and washed it nt the we'll; then calling his
wife. said that he had gathered her q fine
lot of parsnips, OF which he had been eat
ing. She informed him that il was deadly
poison. Emetics were immediately admin.
istered, bat were Of no effect, He waf
seized with convulsions, and in less than
two hours from the time vhsn he took the
deadly poison from his garden, he lay q
corpse in his own dwelling.
The other case is thus related by the Up.
per Des Noines, of Kossuth county: '.On
Sunday the 10th instant, two little boys,
sons OF Christian Hackman and Fred. Klus,
were poisoned BY eating the roots of the
wild parsnlp. But short time elapsed
after eating the roots, before both we're
seized with commissions, and in less than
two hours the Klus boy was dead and the
other in perilous condition. DR.. Barr was
sent for, but did not arriye until the first
named hU vas dead The prompt admin
istration Of powerful emetics and stimu-
lahts socn relieved the Hackman boy, and
he is now regarded as being out of danger.

50 Thankless ChiId.n

A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle, writing from Parkersburg West
Virginia, tells this lamentable story about
an old German woman he met in the cars:
"Her son, who resides in Portsmouth,
sent for her to come to America, and eight
weeks ago she arrived. But his wife did
not like her; she wastoo old (seventy-four)
and her hands too rough; and now he had
sent her back, alone, with no provisions for
her comfort or passage, except tickets
through to N. Y, and the following words,
written on some old business card: please
direct the bearer of this, an old woman,
to the proper Office to get to New York,
and there 70 68 Broadway street, to the
General Agency of the North-German
Lloyd, the General Agent. This was with
out signature. As it was written in Eng
lish, of which she understood nothing, she
had no doubt that>it was all that was nee
essary to get her safely back to Germany.
But still she was almost heartbroken, for
she had no home now even in 'Faderland,
had spent years to collect, and given S240,
all that was left when she got to Ports
mouth, to her son. Now sne~yas sent
back without her trunk even, with only five
dollars in her pocket, and no means of
getting farther than New York. AL
that could be done for the poor wo-
mans comfort on the cars was done,
and she stayed over night at Parkersburg.
THE next day several prominent citi-
zens of Portsmouth took her case in hand,
and she was taken to comfortable quarters.
They know of her son. and confirm the
old lady's story that he is well of, and they
are determined he shall do what is right
for his poor old mother.
"When Mr.. DeBarr read the writing on
the card, and told her what it was, she
could scarcely believe it; aud when at
length she comprehended it, the mothers
distress at the thought that child could
treat her SO cruelty was sad to witness.
oh, said she, when she could speak, he
said that ticket would bring me money in
New York" =

The Dog That Collected Missionary
Money


Now, don't laugh Here is what an
English gentleman says:
az was at one of the seaport towns on
the coast of Kent the other day, and, walk
ing along the principle rect, / observed
large-sized and nice-looking dog following
close behind me. Not taking any notice
of him at the moment, went on till came
to shop at which had to call, where nv
newly found compan, on followed me in.
and then stood patiently locking up into
my face, as much as to say: Il think you
have got something for nae. thought he
was rather a funny fellow. but my friend
the shopkeeper knew him directly, and
called out: ''What, Bob, begging AGAIN.
l soon found out what he was begging for;
my friend told me that he had got mis-
sionary box, and that he went up to every
stranger who came into the town for pen
ny.
"'Bob was so successful inst year, that
when his box was opened it was found to
contain no less than eighteen shlllings, ali
collected by himself. / gave him penny,
which he took in his month, and with a
nod of his head, which / suppose was his
way of saying s'Thank You" he trotted off.
wagging his bushy tail as if pleased-as /
dare say he was-that he had secured an
other penny for his missionary box.
"'But Bob, like all of us who try to be
good and to do good, was liable TO tempta-
ton.
"'We must see him past the bakers
shop, said my friend, 'or the penny may
go to the wrong place
Now, it appears that Bob, besides be-
ing fond ofthe missionary box, is also fond
of biscuits; and, am sorry to say, he has
sometimes been known to spend the penny,
instead of taking it straight home. SO We
watched him along the street, when all at
once, just opposite the bakers shop, he
stopped short, and seemed as if thinking
whether he should go past or not.
81 (" However, We called after bun, Go
home, Bob; go home, good dog;' and away
he went, as though he had got over the
temptation, and would not rest TIL he had
dropped the penny into his missionary
box"
