The Liberal Party.



In two articles published consecutiyely

strated to every candid mind that the
Democratic party of the United States nov
occupes Conservative Republican ground
as regards principles and public policy.
The reverse Is not true-the Liberal hepub-
leans are net converts to Democratic ideas,
as some contend. The Democratic party
has none Of those distinctive features, eX-

Each day now renders it less probable that

is said with reference to Governor Parker.

The Paris Constitutionnel is responsible
for the following truly French piece of
romance in every day life For several
days the guards OF the Maillot gate hal
noticed, at the same hour in the morn
ing, yelled amazon on horseback going
out of Paris at q full galiop. Was she
pretty? Nobody could tell, as nobody
had seen her face, but her tall, elegant
form led people at least to suppose so.
The same amazon was seen, regularly
every day at noon, to re-enter the same
gate always at full gallop. What could
it mean? One day at the end OF last
month, as she was entering Paris, her
horse stumbled and fell, but with won
derful dexterity she regained her sad
die and rode off, this time bestraddling
the horse. A horrible spectacle pre-
scented itself to those who ran up to the
place Of the accident. An amputated
leg was found lying upon the ground
in pool of blood, and messenger was
at once sent for the Commissary Of
Police. Before the latter arrived, how
ever, it had been discovered that the
blood was nothing but wine, and the
leg a member very ingeniously made of
india rubber. The amazon was evil
IDENTITY smuggler.

Slaves OF the South Sea Islands.

The slaves of the South Sea Islands
have barbarous way of securing their
human stock in trade. According to
Commodore Markham, a British COM
mander on the Australian station, the
men engaged in the slave trade make
treaties with the chief of tribe who
has feud on hand to supply him with
so many heads of his enemies in ex-
change for live subjects of his own.
There are different methods Of decapi.
tation pursued. The commanders in
formant had been an eyewitness of
scene in which the murderers used their
knives. A brig lay to of an island of
the Solomon group, and canoe full Of
men put off to her from the shore. As
the canoe passed under the vessels
stern, her steamboat, which had been
loosened on purpose, was suddenly
dropped on it, smashing il to pieces.
Boats were lowered and the natives
pulled into them, but not to be rescued.
As soon as they were seized, their heads
were cut of over the gunwale of the
boat with long knives. The British are
taking measures for the suppression of
this horrible traffic.

FARMERS POISONED pyWILpPARsNlp.-

FARMERS POISONED by WILD PARsNIP.-
Five young men near Flint Michigan,
were blowing in field and ate of the
root of what they supposed to be Sweet
Cicely (Osnaorhisa iongisiylis), which is a
fleshy root with aspicy, agreeable flavor.
In a few moments the one who first ate
of the root fell in spasm and died.
Immediately two of the others were
taken with spasms, whereupon one of the
others mounted horse and started to
the house, a mile away, to get help.
He had to ride about mile, and on
reaching the house fell from the horse,
but succeeded in giving tn e alarm. The
farmer mounted the horse and started
for the field, and arrived there to find
three of his sons lying dead within the
space of ten rods. The fourth was still
alive, and the father give him some to.

ing and the saving of his life. The one
who rode to the house will probably re-
cover, according to a correspondent of
the Detroit Tribune, from which paper
we gather these facts. 1t is supposed
they ate of the root of the Wild Parsnip,
or Cowbane. Archemora rigida), a very
poisonous plant. We give these details

eating roots, plants or fruits which are
not known beyond perad venture to be

COOPERATION IN BELGIUx.-The join
ers of Verviers. Belgium, struck, last
April, for reduction Of hours and in.
crease Of pay. Their employers com
bined to refuse the demand. The e.
upon the men bought some land, built
some shops, and began operations on
their own account on the lst of May.
A month afterwards, their orders ex-
ceeded those of any other firm in the
city, andthe success was assured. The
benefits of the measure have not been
confined to the cooperative joiners
alone. Their withdrawal from the
labor market has caused keen COM
petition between their old employers
for men, so that even the joiners who
did not cooperate with them have
higher pay than ever before.
