FIVE MINUTES MORE TO L1vE.-A young
man stood up before large audience, in the
most fearful position human being could be
placed. He stood on the Platform of scaffold.
The moose had been adjusted around his neck,
and in few minutes more he would be in cter-
nity. The Sheriff took out his watch and said
off you have anything to say, speak now, as
YOU have but five minutes more to live"
Oh, what awful words for a young man to
hear, standing there in full health and vigor
Shall tell you his message to the young about
him? He burst into tears, and said, with Sob
bling: ,.,
ii have to die Ihad only one little brother.
He had beautiful blue eyes and faxen hair
and oh how I loved him. But one day l got
drunk, for the first time in my life. l came
home and found my little brother gathering
strawberries in the garden. got angry with
him without cause, and 1 killed him with
rake. I knew nothing about it till woke next
day and found myself tied and guarded. They
told me when my little brother was found his
hair was clotted with blood and brains. Whis-
kew has done it, 1t has ruined me- L have
only one more word to say to the young people
before 90 to stand in the presence of my
Judge. Never, never, never touch anything
that can intoxicate !" AS he said these words,
he sprang from the box and was in eternity.

ORANGE PEEL PoIsoNoUs.-The Pacific
Medical and Surgical Journal says: Now that
oranges are in every child's mouth, it is we'll
enough for parents to know that fatal conse-
quences may follow the swallowing of the rind
MANY wears ago we had in charge two little
girls, sisters, four and six years of age, who
we're seized with violent Inflammation of the
bowels from this cause One of them died in
convulsions, and the other had q narrow escape.
Since that time quite a number of instances,
similar in character, have come under our OBJ
servation.
Quite recently we have seen child, some
thing over year old, that was attacked with
violent dysenteric symptoms, for which no cause
could be assigned. The attack came on during
the passage of the steamer from San Diego.
The symptoms were so identical with those
which we had previously noticed to arise from
poisoning by orange peel, thatwe were induced
to inquire particularly if the child had had an
opportunity of getting this substance in its
mouth. We were informed that it had been
playing with an orange and nibbling at it just
before the attack of the disease. The dis
charges from the bowels were frequent, and
consisted of blood and mucus. After week OF
severe enteric inflammation, the child died.
We have no doubt that the disease was brought
on by the rind of the orange. Though but q
small quantity must have been swallowed, yet q
very small quantity of such an indigestible and
irritating substance will often produce most Sc
rious consequences.
The oil Of the rind is highly acrid, and adds
greatly to the noxious quality of the indigestl-
Bile mass. We learn that it is a common prac-
tice among the children of some of our public
schools to eat the rind, and that juvenile mer-
chants have been known to trade off the inside
of the fruit for the skin.

WoMAN's BnA1Ns.-The smaller size of wo-
mans brain may be made up for the greater
activity Of. nervous fibre, and by its proportion
al size to the body being equal relatively to that
of man. Still it is said, in reply, that men
possess larger and stronger heads for the same
reason that they have stronger limbs-viz: that
Nature has fitted them to do stronger work.
But, according to the London Lancet when we
pass to the domestic and social relations of
woman, to the emotional part of her nature, to
her instincts and affections, which are also in
stinctiye, and to the powerful influence which
these exert on her, and through her on her hus-
band aud her children, no physiologist can
doubt, we think, that there is corresponding
relation between the dclicacy of the organiza..
tion and character Of the physica. structure II

A Wonderful P0tatOs

Mark Twain has been visiting Beechers
farm, Greeley's farm and the farms of many of
our leading city farmers, so that he has fallen
completely in love with the business, and es-
pecially with that part of it which raises the
wonderful new seedlings. He states his "agri-
cultural line by the announcement of new
potato. He thus tells its origin. Il obtained
it by crossing the yam of the tropics with the
Canada thistle and by carefully selecting and
cuItivating the best specimens for several sea-
sons have secured q product that perma-
nently combines the earliness of the former
and the endurance of the latter in other words,
nv new potato is rare combination of speed
and bottom, and it will do to bet on. 1 have
christened it the Early Stunner-a name sug-
gested by its extraordinary qualities and per-
formances."
Mr.. Twain, however, not having had much
experience in farming thought best to place it
in the hands of some reliable men in whom the
public had confidence, and publishes heaps of
testimonials. We give specimen from Mr..
John Smith, a respectable butcher, whose repu-
tation for vcracity is so we'll known. He says ::

the Sumner with enthusiasm as being just the
thing for poorly-fenced fields.
DR.. Jones the celebrated physician also gives
the following testimony:

ANDERSON C. H. c. THURSDAY MORNING. 1870

to the forts named, Vincennes is formidable
fortiication, which has been greatly enlarged
and strengthened during the past twenty years.
It stands almost in the rear of Fort de Nogent,
but has an open sweep of the country between
that work and Fort de Charenton. Further
more, there are two redoubts between Fort de
la Birche and Fort Mont Valerien, which are
able to keep an advancing enemy in check for
considerable length of time, if moi. repulse
him. At but two points-one south, the other
east-is there any high ground in close pro1i-
nifty to the outer fortresses, and these are over
looked and swept by the guns of five forts.
For at least thirty out of the thirty-hve miles
the country is in part open and almost level, so
that hostile army will find it difficult to erect
batteries and mount siege guns close enough to
the walls to do any material damage to them.
CONCLUSION.
A great deal of unnecessary sorrow is being
expressed at the prospect of Prussian shells
battering down the splendid edifces of Paris.
1t is exceedingly doubtful if any of their shells
will fall much beyond the inner line of works
and for the reason that they will not be able to
construct batteries near enough to the outer
fortresses to throw shells into the Tuileries un-
less they bring six hundred FOUNDER guns with
them and we doubt much if their siege artil-
lery contains guns of any such calibre. Fur
to surround the walls of Paris would
require much larger army than the Prussians
now have. Five hundred thousand men may
do it, but half that number cannot. They may
occupy all the avenues of approach, but each
force of occupation would be so far from the
others that by rapid massing the French would
stand fair chance of thrashing the besiegers
