CHLOROFORM AND ROBBERS.

DR.. Stephen Rogers. of New York, in a
report on "Can ChlorOform be Used TO
Facilitate RCbberp?' records some facts
which prove it to be of TO use to robbers:
l. AS to its use to promote the greater
security from the disturbance ofthe sleeper,
even were that practicable, the very time
that would be consumed in the gradual and
cautious administration of the vapOr-the
only possible theoretical manner Of accom-
plishing it-would so increase the danger
of detection that few thieves wonld think of
employing it.
2. During the coarse ofthe administration
of chloroform, whatever manner may be
adopted, the patient or subject, as rule,
becomes excited, often very violent and turb-
ulent, with an irrepressible propensity to sing
or shout, which is often so loud as to alarm
the inmates Of the whole house. He is in
state of wild chloroformic intoXication. The
exceptions Of this rule are so few that no
prudent thief would think of running the
risk Of not meeting one of those exceptions.
3. Surprising the two preceding obstacles
overcome, and the victim thoroughly quiet
ed into a narcotic sleep, a third and very
frequent complication arises; he begins to
vomit, and, while he does not generally
make much noise about it, still he may, land
be always requires attention lest strangula-
ton occur. The knowledge, among the
criminal classes, that the abandonment oftheir
victim, with a towel still over his face, to
the liabilities of vomiting and strangulation,
would often add the crime of murder to
that of robbery, would have great effect in
lettering them from further employment of
it.-MedicdL Record.

The Illinois Fruit CroD.

A correspondent writing from Carbon
dale, the centre of the Illinois fruit region,
says:
The prospect for an abundant fruit crop
is fattering at the present time. The buds
are not yet swollen, and if not cut off by
the late frosts there will be an abundant
yield. Probably there viii be more apples
raised in Southern Illinois this year than
ever before raised in the whole State. The
peach crop will not surpass some former
years, but from present prospects there viii
be an abundance of this delicious fruit.
Pear trees are in splendid condition; fruit
buds in abundance. Cherries never locked
so promising as at the present time; all
who have trees may look forward with a
degree of certainty for large and bounti-
full crop. The strawberry crop will be
short, at the long severe drought last fall
severely injured the plant in this locality.

by MRS. D. n. JoEDAN-
The Frost King came IN the gleanlng'
And his torches were glftter1nS sSAts,
His banner, a bright aurora
Striped with flaming bars
And over the lofty mountain,
With ermined cup Of snow,
He marched meath the shining moohpeatns
Into the vale below
And over the ice-bound river
Wrapped in a coat Of mail,
A thousand shining bayonets
Cleaned In the starlight pale
A thousand giittering lances,
Pointing down 20 the earth,
Threatening death to the tender flowers
Waiting below for birth.
And over the leafess forest
He spIinkled silver rain,
Striving 10 hold the buds within
From bursting to life again.
And into the lowly howell,
With stealthy foot he crept,
Where want and misery dreamed of warmth
They only knew when they slept.
He kissed the sleeping infant,
And touched its lips with his breath,
And the child awoke in a world of life,
That slept in a world of death.
And he wrought with artist-fngers,
On cottage and palace pane,
The wonderful pines of NOrseland
And the glaciers glittering chain.
And when in the morning sunlight
His magical work was seen,
The earth, like a king, wore ermine
And Jewels fit for a queen.

TOMORROW.

BY MRS. MARY r. DODGE.
Tomorrow, beautiful day,
Is waiting for you and for me;
Bluest skies of a soft shining ray
Are impatient the shadows to flee.
Why care if the landscape be sullen and gray?
Tomorrow viii chase all the clOud-racks away.
Tomorrow, You say, may be dull,
With the leaden-hued face Of to-day.
Wait; its morrow with measure is fun
OF a JOY never spilled by delay
II to-day born Of yesterday battle our will,
Tomorrow, tomorrow is radiant STILL
Tomorrow is mantled in white
Aspire as the sOft-falling snow,
That rounds into waves Of delight,
To cover Earth's pitifpl woe.
The gale may be signing, the frost-king astray,
Yet Tomorrow viii sparkle in crystalline spray.
Tomorrow with roses is crowned,
A tender-eyed sylph o. the May;
FlInging garlands of blossoms around
In 3 child-like improvidentGay.
To-day may be barren, a chill in the air;
Tomorrow young spring-life will bud every
where.
Tomorrow the birds without fear,
Fitting back TO the woodlands again,
Will sing, for the summer that's here,
A fnll-throated, ravishing strain.
The world now so silent Of bird or of bee
Tomorrow shall echo with rehuent glee
Tomorrow is regal for all,
With q sceptTe of love in her hand;
The weary but wait for her call,
To spring to the full-fruited land.
Ger the span of to-day may tearfully grOpe
But the arch Of tomorrow is glowing with hope

To the Editors of the Union and American.
BETHESDA, Tenn, Feb. 20, 1S72.-The
notice Contained in a recent ISSUE Of the
Spanish skeleton found at the "Winding
stairs" in Hickman county, having deeply
interested one of our most celebrated anti
quaries, Ga physician resident near Nolens-
Ville,) he forthwith on reading the article,
packed up his ''grubbing-hoe" and started
for the winding stairs. On reaching his
destination, he commenced work where the
young men had left off, and was soon re-
warded by finding a species ofsubterranean
cavern. Having procured torches he boldly
pushed into the opening. The light of the
torches soon exhibited vast number of
"vertebra," having the appearance of great
regularity in form and size. Our trienda
the Doctor, examined these bones infinitely,
and became thoroughly satisfied that it was
the skeleton of the ''Trune Anaconda"
which created so great a sensation few
months ago. Assurance was made doubly
sure by finding along side the skeleton frag-
ments of the strap" which the serpent
swallowed when he made his escape from
Williamson into Hickman county. The
Doctor has just returned from his excursion
and will doubtless, through the columns of
your paper, give Tie PARTICULARS vi Ills us
cOveries. JEREMIAH SCALES.
P. S.-Any person desiring to examine
these interesting remains, as well as the
fragments of the trap, will find the same at
the office of DR.. W. B. Clarke, near No
lensville, who will take pleasure in showing
them '.free of all charge" The Doctor en-
deavored to procure some memorials also of
the Spanish Soldier" and "Historian," old
Bernal Diaz, but to his profound regret he
found that even the tombstone and inscrip-
ton had crumbled into dust after a few
days exposure to the air; fortunately,
however, old Squire Pullam, on the first
day it was dug up, got some clay and took
an impression, of the inscription in ''basso
relievo;" it is proper to say, however, that
this impression, like the one made on the
public by the narrative of young LoIaax,
is calculated to deceive. j. S.

MOULD YOU CURE THAT DISTRESSING
wv Cough and bring back that healthy Vigor
till lately planted in your cheek? If you would,
do not delay, for ere you are aware it win be too
late.
Aliens Lung Balsam is your hope; Il has been
tried by thousands such as you, who have been
cured; many in their gratitude have lent their
names to us that suffering humanity can read
their evidence and believe. Don't experiment
with new and untried mixtures, you cannot af-
ford 1t, but try at once this invaluable article 1t
can be found in any Drug Store and at most gen
eral stores. 1t is warranted to break up the most
troublesome Cough in a few hours if not of too
long standing 1t is warranted to give entire sa-
tisfactiOn in all cases OF Lung and Throat diff
eulties.
What the Doctors Say:
Amos WooLLEY, M. D., of KOsciusko county,
Indiana, says: hFOr three years past have used
ALIENS LUNG BALsAM extensively in my prac-
tce, and am satisfied there is no better medicine
for lung diseases in use"
ISAAC A. DORAN. N. D., of Logan county,
Ohio, says "ALLEE's LUNG BALsAM not only
sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in eve
~ case within my knowledge Having cOniid-
ence in 1t, and knowing that it possesses valu-
able medicinal properties freely use it in my
daily practice, and with unbOunded success. As
an expectorant it is most certainly ahead of any
preparation have ever yet known"
NATHANIEL HARRIS, NJ. D., of Middlebury,
Vermont, says: 81 have no doubt it will soon be-
come classical remedial agent for the cure of
all diseases Of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and
the Lungs.
Physicians do not recommend medicine which
has no merit; what they say about
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM,
Can be taken as a fact. Let all afflicted test 1t
at once.
81 1t is harmless to the most delicate child.
81 1t contains no opium in any form.
Call for "Allen's Lung Balsam," and shun 'he
use of any other Balsam unpriacipled men may
deceive you with worthless preparations.
