SWALLOWING SPIDERs-A Mississip-
pi Cure for the Ague.-A singular
death, reported by correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, occur
red in Tislimingo country, Mississippi,
a few days ago. Mr.. Pennington, q
stout, healthy farmer, living abont
four miles from Inka, had slight chill
last Sunday. The day before he was
in excellent health. Monday morning
he left the approach of another chill
and lay down on the bed. After lying
while, he remarked to a member Of
his family that spider webs were good
for the chills, and that he believed he
would try the remedy. Whereupon,
he arose from the bed and gathered
from the walls or ceiling of the room a
web in which were three ''spider balls, =
as they are called, and swallowed
them without more ado. Immediately
there was heard within his chest q
faint sound, as though .he balls had
burst, and in ten minutes he was dead.
Very soon his lips, and the whole of
his face were greatly swollen by the
action of the poison. Who has not
seen hundreds of young spiders, not SO
large as a pins head, swarm out of
these balls when broken openi And
who but this jill fated Mississippian
would have ever thought of swallow
ing a spoonful OF them as q remedy for
a chill, or for anything else I

a. We are panied to announce the
death Of another old and highly esteem
ed citizen of Rapides. Michael Paul
died on Thursday the 10Th nit, after a
long and painful illness, at his resi-
dence on Spring Creek. Michael Paul
was a native Of st. Landry Parish, aged
73years, but has been a resident Of Ra-
pides for more than forty years. He be-
longed to the best and oldest Creole stock
of the State, and was truly good man
good citizen, strict and upright in all
his dealings with his fellow man. His
home was the seat of comfort and hos
pitality, we'll noted in Rapides for near
" half century. He leaves a large
family, all we'll raised and cared for,
and an immense circle of fast friends,
who will long remember and revere the
memory of the good man, gone before
them.

probably greater than ever it was at
any similar exhibition before or since.

The Preservation Of FISHER.

No matter how timber is seasoned,
it is likely to absorb moisture, though
not 80 apt to retain it or be injured BY
it. Among the means for preventing
absorption the most common is paint
ing; and where ornament, as well as
use is desired, no better means can he
adopted than the application of the
usual oils and pigments. But there
are circumstances where it would be
Improbable to paint with such SUBJ
stances, or where they would be al
most useless. Hence science and in
geQuity have for years been tasked to
preserve timber. Although we seem
to be reaching perfection in this art
not known for centuries, yet We are
even now possessed of NO greater
knowledge than that of the Egyptians,
ages ago.
The theory of the decay of timber
involves a large series of chemical
terms, and calculations of probabilities
and possibilities. The practical part
is that We know timber is composed Of
hard and soft rings. The soft rings
obs0rb moisture, are thus rendered
liable to oxidize, and oxidation pro-
d,tces rot. There is another species OF
decay called 'dry rot" caused by
acids left in the wood. That is simply
a result of the use of unseasoned wood.
Here, too, is strange scientific para
dox. Wood, even If not fully season
ed, is not 80 liable to decay if it be e1-
posed to a current of air. As this soft
ring is the primary cause of decay, it
becomes necessary to fill it with some
fluid that will keep off the moisture,
and at the same time coagu1ate any
albuminus matter or neutralize any
acid therein. Coal tar has been large
ly used to accomplish this end. 1t
contains large quantities of carbonic
acid. This acid has the power OF
coagulating all albuminOus matters, OF
preventing oxidation and destroying
insect life. Hence its value. In using
it, the timber should be well seasoned,
dried and put into the heated tar.
1t is folly to dip posts only the
length they 60 into the ground and not
at all above. Decay usually COM
menccs close to the earth. Dip them
the whole length, or for 10 inches
above the ground, paint above that for
the entire height, and be sure to paint
the top. Next to cOal-tar in value and
cheapness is lime. Season posts, or
other timber, and soak in hot milk of
lime-that is burnt lime and water
then paint thoroughly. The Pacific
Railroad Company used chloride of
zinc for their ties. They bought the
common zinc oxide, dissolved in weak
muriatic acid, and then weakened the
solution more in water. The ties were
first seasoned in a steam chest, then
plunged into o heated bath of this So
luton of zinc. This preparation is too
costly for the farmer.-(J. E. Cotton,
in New York Tribune.

IF The decent colored Radicals Of
our Parish are so ashamed of the nom
nations on their Parochial ticket, that
they make no bones in acknowledging
and denouncing it. The contrast in
the two tickets of the Democratic and

that it is an every hours occurrence to
hear darkie swear Justify that he is
bound for self-respect and decency's
sake to vote for the Democratic nomi-
