SOLACE FOR THE SICK.

Presentation Of Pictures to Bellevue Hospi.
tnI-wardcn Brcnnan's Appeal to the Public
for Assistance 10 Making Pleasant the Home
OF the Suffering.
1t has long been cause OF regret to well wishers
OF the city public Institutions that so little interest
has been manifested by the public In making the
homes OF the sick cheerful and bright by the pre-
sence OF pretty articles, pleasant to LOOK upon
Warden Brennan. Of Bellevue Hospital, has seen
this want for some time past and Is now eKerting
himself to supply the hospital under his charge with
the desired objects. A generous lady recently pre-.
scented Bellevue Hospital with number OF beauti-
ful Autographs, and, inspired by this action, the
Commissioners o! Charities and Correction have
sent to Mr. Brennan 200 Autographs and ciromos
with which 10 relieve the dizziness OF the hospital
wards. In so large building az Bellevue Hospital
the number OF pictures alone alluded TO must seem
very small; and while there can be no doubt about
the advantage OF ornamenting the wards with pic.
lures the question arises whence they are to come.
1t would seem that the supply OF these articles as
every one who has spent any time In a hospital
knows the .edium and moLotony OF the life. War
den Brennan hopes that before long the public will
supply him with such number OF pictures as
WIN be >, sufficient for every ward in Bel
win in any one case be large even one
picture Will be received gladly. Those who have
been under the kindhearted Wardens care at Belle
vue should remember their own time IN the hos
pItal and prove their estimation OF the services rem
the Wardens appeal OF the description here referred
TO. Tie charitable purpose OF making pleasant the
home OF the sick will no doubt cause many To re.
spond to " arden Brennan's appeal.

A Poisoning Case.

The poisoning mania has attacked
Maine, if the allegations against John
Jellison, Oldtown are correct. He is
under arrest, and is undergoing his
preliminary examination. According
to the story, Mr.. and Mrs. Jellison
have not lived happily as man and
wife, and separated about a year ago,
though they kept up an Acquaintance
steadily, and he often visited her. On
the 18th he went to Bangor, where the
lady was living for the time being,
and called upon her. On his invita-
ton she remained with him, as in
former days, during that night. Her
statement is that at about 2 o'clock
she awoke and discovered a very Bit
ter taste in her mouth, and putting up
her hand she found quantity of fine
powder on her face and lips. She i'm
mediately arose, saying, "John, you
have poisoned me-" He made some
inaudible reply, and she was then seiz-
ed with violent fit Of nausea, after
which she carefully rinsed her mouth
and throat. A quantity Of white
powder was found on her pillow and
the upper part of the bed, which was
preserved and submitted to analysis
Competent authority pronounces this
powder to be strychnine.

The quota of Manistee's murders
seems yet incomplete. Another is
making observation-disclosures in the bud.
The Sanborn, a dilapidated old vessel
lying in ordinary just below Canfeld's
warehouse, is the scene of the bloody
work. Distinct traces of murderous
villainy are there apparent. The cabin
of this craft had been closed, up to the
early days of this week, but on Thurs
day last it was discovered to be open.
Some persons passed in and found
tri ces of foul play. A large crockery
jar had been broken into fragments,
and in6catations in the side of the
cabin showed that portions of it had
been hurled across the room with great
force. On the wall were small sprink-
lngs of blood about FIVE feet from the
floor, increasing in number and bulk
down to platform which skirts the
back end of the cabin. Upon this seat
is quite quantity of blood sufficient
to cause it to run down the side to the
floor, where is to be found quite a
large pool, about a pint. There are
traces of blood upon the cabin stair and
out upon the deck. From the vessel
tracks of three individuals were traced
in the sand up the hill. On the side
walk across the road quantities of
blood were found and occasional drops
traced as far as A. Jacks boiler shop.
A large jack-knife was discovered on
the vessel, with marks of bloody fingers
upon it. Many other convincing cir
cumstances are known to the authori-
ties. The doctors agree that this blood
could only have come from severed
human artery. We refrain from further
remark for prudential reasons. Nan

On Thursday week, as q train on
the Mount Holly Railroad, near Mer-
chantvillc, was going at full speed, the
engineer saw far ahead little girl
running along the track. He reversed
steam and whistled down brakes, but
the grade being downward, it was i'm
possible to stop in time to save the
child's life. Meantime the fireman,
Lewis Ebertson, ran out to the front
of the locomotive. Standing on the
catcher, he caught the child as
the locomotive touched her garments,
and lifted her out Of danger.

AS the steamer G.. III. Starbuck
having in tow two canal boats, wa
midway between Port johnson anC
New Brighton on Saturday week
Charles Mills, engineer, and William
Swartz, deck hand, who were standing
near the engine room, were startled
by the sound of escaping steam. They
ran aft, and had but just reached the
stern when the boiler exploded
Swartz dashed through the almost
binding steam into the hold, and
found the dead body of the fireman,
George Williams, colored, fearfully
scalded and lacerated.
BY request of the Coroner, Mr. r.
r. McMurray, Inspector-in-C Chef of
the Hartford Boiler Inspection and
Insurance Company, examined the
boiler in the presence of Coroner
James Dempsey and Capt. Holbrook.
1t was found that the boiler was rotten.
No less than fifteen patches were
counted on the inside, and a crack
seven inches long was discovered. The
boiler was only the 54th Of an inch
in thickness.
One of the patches had given way,
while the fireman was raking the ashes
from the furnace. 1t is thought that
the unfortunate man must have died
in five minutes. He was about thirty
years of age and was formerly slave.
He was brought to the north some
years ago by gentleman named Nor
ris. He was looked upon as a quiet,
industrious man. His body was taken
from the wreck and buried in the
county grave yard by Mr.. Daniel
Dempsey, the only mourners being.his
unhappy wife and child, who are left
in poverty.
The engineer and captain left the
boat the moment she touched the dock,
and their whereabouts are not known.
The former was heard to say that he
would not show himself until after the
inquest. 1t is believed, however, that
all the parties will be present at the
investigation before Coroner Dempsey.
The tug G.. H. Strbuck was built
at New Baltimore in 1862, is Of q
25-100 tons burden, has one high pres
sure boiler twelve feet long, five feet
in diameter, a shell of the Redfeld
patent, and was inspected and passed
by Inspector E. Hall Stratton on the
9Th of June, 1871. He describes the
boiler of varying thickness.-Ne~

Ii anybody in the South is going t.
murder anybody from the North, it il
political necessity that it should
be done at once, as the Radical party
is dying for sensation. The New
York riot and the new city debt
question have become "stale and un
profitable and new sensation must
be had 1t must be no mean affair
either. 1t must be really immense
outrage, one which the Radical jour
ais can serve up for breakfast for sew,
eral mornings in succession, and lunch
on for weeks together. The party is
positively starving for a murder. II
there is anything that is fatal to its
existence, it is long inhumanity from
crime, especially in the South. When
crime is rampant Radicalism is pros
porous and happy, because its support
ors want something that will warrant
them i'll resort to the exercise of
despotic powers in controlling the ac-
ton of the people. When the public
mind is occupied i'll the contemplation
Of some hugh crime it is not apt to
give its attention to the investigation
Of the rascalities of the Radical party
and this is another reason why Radi-
calism and crime enjoy each others
society so well. While the people
were discussing the question Of the
war they did not stop to consider the
equally grave offense against constitu-
tional government aud official honesty
that their Radical rulers were COM
uniting. These leaders perpetuated
the war as long as possible on that ac-
count. They hate peace, because
peace gives time for investigation and
examination into political action and
party policies. For the same reason
they hate to have the people of the
South peaceful and law abiding. If
the people of that section would only
manifest feeling Of disloyalty and
opposition to the government the Rad
zeal leaders would be more than de-
lighted, for they could continue to
put down the rebel on, and under
that pretense demand the continued
confidence of the people. They have
resortcd to every means possible to
force them to do so, and failed. As a
the party is hungcring
and thirsting for scnsation-any-
thing that can be turned to party ac-
count. If there is ever going to be
