By having his wits about him and plen-
tiful supply of eggs, MIR. Joseph Hale sue
ceeded in saving the life of his wife, in
Portland, who, in fit of abstraction, had
swallowed a dose of corrosive sublimate,
thinking it was laudanum. Given over by
the frightened neighbors for as good as
dead, her husband at once administered to
the terrified victim the whites of fifteen eggs,
which completely neutralized the effects of
the poison.

The Houston Union, of the eleventh :,
says:
DR.. George B. Slaughter died in the
Hutchins House, yesterday afternoon, about
three o'clock. 1t will be remembered that
some days ago we spoke of his jumping out
of a carriage, opposite the courthouse, in
this city, and that we then expressed some
doubts of his recovery. Afterward he
seemed to be so much "at himself" and SO
cheerful, as to make his death quite a sur
prise to us. Two Of his sons were with him,
and they and the careful attendants of the
hotel, under the direction of Captain
Turner, did everything that could be done
to soothe his last hours.
DIR. Slaughter was born in Georgia. and
came to this State in 1916, settling in Mar
SHALL in which neighborhood he has re-
maiEed ever since. He was a true Repub-
ican, and suffered much for the cause of
the Union during the war. Although he
was one of the leading citizens of his sec
ton, and well known as one of the best
men in Eastern Texas, he was compelled to
hide out in the woods for months to escape
rebel vindictiveness. We have often heard
from bis own lips the account OF the perse-
cutlons, which, as Union man, he was
compelled for many long years to endure;
few narratives could do Justice to the in
fiictiens to which he was compelled to sub
init. But he lived to see the day Union
man could bare his brow in Texas and defy
rebelism to its face; and we are glad that
he died in the hope that Texas was about
to become as true to the old flag as a State
as he al ways was as man.

A Chinese Deathbed,
From the San Francisco Bulletin

From the San Francisco Bulletin
Very often the dead bodies of Chinese
men and women are found in untenanted
buildings in the Chinese quarter of this city,
and those unacquainted with their super
stitiOns are prone to set the assertions of
dying friends down as acts of seltishness.
This, however, is not So as the Chinese be-
lieve that if persons die in house that
they lived in before death their spirits will
haunt the place ever after, and give IN
pleasant evidence of their presence to all
who remain. In order to prevent the mani
festations of the restless spirit as soon as
the doctor gives it as his opinion that a pa
tient can not survive, he is taken to an
other place and left alone to die. Yester-
day case of this kind was reported to the
Coroner. A young Chinawoman, who had
been given up by her attending physician,
was carried by relatives to an untenanted
house on Ellis Place, off Pacific, above Du-
pont. They then dressed her in her best
clothes, spread new mating on the floor.
and laid her on it. Then they brought in
preserves, meats, fruits, candies, boiled
rice, etc, lighted some punks and retired,
leaving her alone to await the coming of
the common destroyer. During the day
she died, and was found last night. Cor
oner Letterman removed the body, and it
is now at the morgue awaiting the further
action of the relatives who will probably
leave her to be disposed of by the city. as
is generally their practice in all such cases
Many Cinnamon those of the wealthy
classes-do not desert their dead friends,
and for the furtherance of this desire there
are several hospitals fitted up, in order that
those about to die may be removed there
until they have paid the debt of nature,
after which they are buried with all the
ceremonies of the disciples of Confucius.
