An American Turning PatagOnian.

The San Francisco Bulletin publishes
the following strange incident in the flfe
of Colonel George w. McDougal, who
committed suicide in Washington. He
was younger brother of Ex-Governor
John McDougal, of California:
A few years since, citizen OF the
Hoosier State, taking rather strange
freak for one hailing so far inland as the
banks of the Wabash and White Rivers,
joined those "who go down to the sea
in ships" Coasting along the terra m
cogaitG known as Terra del Fuego, he
landed among the Pategonians, and pro-
ceeded at once to make his court to the
tall chief of the bands, who loomed up
among the crowd of six-footers by whom
he was surrounded. To quote the Ian
guage of his graphic description in a
letter to the Indiana state Journal, which
was extensively copied at the time, ex-
tending his hand to this suppositious
Patagonian chief, he started back, ex-
claiming, "Georgo, is that you TO
which the chief, recognizing his old
lndianafriend, exclaimed i'll turn, Why,
is that. you?" Mutual explanations fol-
lowed, in which McDougal stated that,
disgusted with civilization, and thor
oughly misanthropic, he had drifted
among the savage Patagonians, where,
owing to his superiority in size, and out
of compliment to his huge proportions,
he had been chosen as Head Chief. The
life suited him, and he had never antici-
pated meeting friend or acquaintance
belonging to the white race. All efforts
of bie ola f,,io1l ~. fa11oIxy- n tryrn I,
to induce him to abandon his savage
life and return with him on the vessel
were unavailing; and he expressed a
full determination to live and die among
his adopted people. 1t would appear,
however, that he did return to civilized
life and died by his own hand.

President Washington.

Official manners, customs, and cos
tunes, were very different when Wash
ington lived in Philadelphia from what
they are to-day. His habit, when the
day was fine, was to take q walk, at
tended by his two secretaries, Mr.. Lear
and Major William jackson, one on each
side. He always crossed directly from
his own door, on Market street, near
Fifth, to the sunny side, and walked
down toward the river. He was dressed
in black, and all three wore cooked hats.
They were silent men, and seemed to
converse very little. Washington had
large family coach, light carriage, and
a chariot, all painted light cream color,
with three enamelled figures on each
panel, and very handsome. He went in
the coach to Christ Church, every Sun
day morning, with two horses; used the
carriage-and-fou for his rides into the
country, and the Lansdowne, the Hills,
and other places. When he visited the
Senate, he had the chariot with six
horses. All his servants were white,
and wore Gveries of white cloth, trim
med with scarlet or orange. 1t was
Mrs. Washington's custom to return
calls on the third day. The footman
would knock loudly and announce Mrs
Washington, who would then pay the
visit in company with Mr.. Secretary
Lear. Her manners were easy, pleasant,
and unceremonious.
An English gentleman, Mr.. Henry
Wansey, breal1fasted with Washington
and his family on the Sth of June, 1894.
He was greatly impressed. The first
President was then in his sixty-third
year, but had little appearance of age,
having been in his life exceedingly tenn
perate. Mrs. Washington herself made
tea and coffee for them on tho table
were two small plates of sliced tongue
and dry toast, bread and butter, but no
broiled fish, as is generally the custom.
Miss Eleanor Custis, her granddaughter,
q very pleasant young lady, in her six
teenth year, sat next to her, and next
her grandson, George Washington Park
Custis, about two years older. There
were but few slight indications of form
one servant only attended, who wore no
livery. Mrs. Washington struck him as
something older than the President, al
though he understood they were both
born the same year. She was short in
stature, rather robust, extremely simple
in her dress, and wore very plain cap
with her hair turned under it. This de-
scription of Mrs. Washington cores
ponds exactly with the portrait painted
| by Trumbull, now in the Trumbull Gal
| lery at New Haven Connecticut

Perils of the Drug Stores.

The New Orleans Picayune says: A
correspondent makes some pertinent re-
marks on the unlawful licensing of un-
educated druggists. As an illustration
of the vital importance of thorough
knowledge of medical chemistry to
qualify person for compounding pre-
scriptions, it may be mentioned that not
long since physician tried an expert
ment to satisfy himself as to the extent
of the danger incurred on account of
ignorance i'll this regard. Calling at a
certain drug store, he presented the fol-
lowing prescription "Hydrag. clor.
mitis, grs. X; soda bycarb., grs. X; am
monia murias, grs. X" Saying that he
would call for the mixture in u few min
utes, he turned as if to go, when the
druggist, in an excited tone, called him
back. doctor" said the latter, L can't
make up these ingredients for anybody
to take; you must have made mistake. u
"How so!" said the doctor. "Why,
don't you see that there are here all the
equivalents to constitute corrosive sub
imate?" "Of course l dc" was the an
swer; "but 1 have submitted the same
prescription at a dozen different places
and you are the first one who has OBJ
jected to putting it up, or indicated any
suspicion of its deadly nature"
