OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
DEATH IN THE BAKE-ovEN.

An atrocous case of supposed poisoning
is now undergoing an investigation by
chemical test, while the party suspected il
anxiously awaiting, in durance vile, the
result, meanwhile earnestly protesting his
innocence. The facts are these A baker
who was accustomed, on his daily round
to leave hot rolls at grocery store, came
round the morning in question with the
usual number Of rolls for two young men
employed therein, placed on the lid
of the bread-box, all nicely powdered over,
apparently, with white sugar, but the little
unpleasantness in this case arises from
the strong indications that as sail is not
gold that glitters," neither is all white
sugar that glistens on the top of hot rolls
The two young men, who were brothers,
ate the rolls for breakfast, as usual, but
with far different results from former oc-
casions, for they were Immediately taken
sick, with all indications of poisoning, one
very severely while the other, who ate
only two rolls, recovered sufficiently to
enter complaint against the baker and cause
his arrest, while at the same time the re.
naming rolls were placed in the hands OF
chemist, who thinks, from tests made,
that arsenic was contained in the powder
ing on the rolls, while the baker, in his
protest, declared that it was cream tartar,
sprinkled on them by mistake of his jour
neyman; but the tourneyman cannot be
found, and as the brothers say the baker
once threatened to dose them, he stands q
fair chance of being held responsible for
results. Poison has lately been woman's
cowardly weapon, but if this proves case
must conclude that man is following the
criminal example of the weaker sex. But
as the gliding, venomous serpent is weaker
than the lion, so woman, if weaker, is Of
ten as deadly, and it become deplorable il
to the proves of the lion we unite the
subtle venom of the Shiny, sneaking snake.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

As was crossing Fulton Ferry n few
days since, while seated in the ladies cab.
in, saw a tall, angular female, apparently
of the strong minded persuasion, walking
down the length of the cabin, looking anx-
iously for seat. But none was to be had
many that might otherwise have been
available for the lady's accommodation
being occupied by men, who either read
their paper, unconscious of her presence,
or looked at her in very unconcerned
way. This ungallant inaction upon the
part of the male element aroused her
Amazonian spirit, and the gray eyes grew
grayer in their indignant sparkle, the sharp
profile grew sharper, and the thin lips
grew significantly thin and compressed,
and from my proficiency in reading such
faces, having come in contact with several
of them, saw that she was dreadfully in
earnest, and shrinking myself into as I'M
conspicuous an object as possible, awaited
the result. She passed me, but stopped
before waggish looking man seated next
to me, whose +. te revealed a half smile
that led her on to the attack.
"Sir," said she, sis this the ladies' cab,
inN
lie saw what was coming but dare not
say yes, but with a mischieyous twinkle in
his eye, he put his hand to his ear, and
leaning forward to indicate that he was
hard of hearing replied:
"Ma'amp
81 say" she repeated in louder tone
which attracted attention all around, "ii
this the ladies' cabin 2"
"Oh," said the man, "they won't let
you Glen. tobacco in here You must do
your chewing and smoking in the other
cabin"
This, and the explosion that followed
completely annihilated "blue stockings"
and she disappeared in the smoke of the

A SINGULAR FIGHT. THE Savannah
RepubHcm tells the following rs vouch-
ed for by a gentleman of that city who
recently had occasion to visit the
marsh on the other side of the river.
While over there standing in the marsh,
near pool of water, he noticed that
something was going on in it that one
is not accustomed to seeing every day,
and on investigating the splatter that
was being made in the water found
that very large moccasin and a good
sized catfish were having terrible fight,
The occurrence was highly interesting
to him, and he got tear as possible to
see what would be the end of it. The
combatants were fearfully in earnest, and
terribly energetic in their efforts to an
initiate each other The catfish would
make daring passes at the snake, always
using his fins to stick his antagonist
with, and the snake, on the other hand,
would have to be equally energetic in
keeping clear Of the sharp points of the
catfsh's fins. The moccasin would
throw himself into striking position and
strike very fast, in order to be equal
with the frantic surges of the catfish.
At last the catfish, in making q pass at
the snake, stuck his sharp fin some
where in a tender part of the snakes
belly, and the moccasin in turn elinched
the catfish in the back part of the neck.
In this position both antagonists chung
to each other until they were dead-the
poison in both seeming equal. The
fight lasted about twenty minutes, in
