A an illustration of the power of one
poison to counteract another in the hui
man system, a recent case in South Bend
furnishes highly important and inter
esting instance. We give the statement
as related to us by DIR. Harris, who was
called to the reliei ofa would-be suicide,
and who administered the successful an
tidote. The person had taken between
forty and fifty grains of opium, and was
dying fast lie could no longer swallow,
his extremities were cold and had turned

cate that all hope was gone, as anything
less than eight respiratiuf- minute had
heretofore been known as a sure precur-
sor of death. As last resort, the doctor
determined to try heroic treatment, and
he, accordingly, with a hyperdomic sy-
rihrr, injected twosthirds Of drachm
of nux-vomica dissolved in teaspoonibl
of water beneath the skin over the heart,
stomach, spine, and on each arm above
the elbow, and on the calf Of each leg.
The quantity of nus-vomica would have
been the death of any well man in ex-

agent of life, and in fifteen minutes the
man was sitting up in bed, conscious,

As corporal Of the New Orleans po-
lice was making his round. at very
early hour in the morning, his attention
was attracted by a suspicious looking box
that had been deposited on a doorstep.
II bore Il curiotis appearance, suggestive
of an Internal machine that might go of
of itself and scatter destruction around
generally. So he thought IL his duty to
examine it closely. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that the box, though in
tended 10 do mischief, was not meant
to explode upon being opened, hut that
its powers of supposed mischief lay in
various charms which had evidently been
prepared by some practitioner Of Voudou
mysteries. The box was covered with
white cloth, ard the white cloth was COW
cred with leaves fastened to II by In
Vulnerable brass pins. On the top of the
box was a minute white coffin, yet il was
large enough to afford place for an in
scription containing the iiahie Of female
inmate Of the house where the affair had
been left, and likewise the day on which
the sender had evidently hoped that she
would die, Within the coffin was fig
ure made of dough, intended to represent
the body ofthe person already mentioned,
its head being transfxed through and
through with pins, the ends of which
brlutlrd out In every direction. The
whole arrangement was a Voudou charm,
which it was supposed would bring dire
destruction to tho person it was intended
IN work against, and who, being firm
believer in the efficacy of voudou spells,
went nearly frantic on seeing the con
