Poison In the Fre-An Exceedingly
Curious Case.

One eff the most remarkable cases of
poisoning, and one of the most curious
accidents on record, occurred at the
house of a farmer named Merritt, four
miles northwest of the city, near w.
G. Stewards place, a few days since.
A young man named William Haley
had been trying 70 poison wolves, using
~strychnine for the purpose, which he
baited for the creatures with fresh
meat. He had been unsuccessful in
poisoning them, and one day early this
week, on going to his bats and finding
them untouched, he went to Mr.. Mer-
ritt's house about moor to get some
fresh meat, and being disappointed in
getting it became Disguised, and threw
the bottle containing the ~strychnine
into the kitchen stove, where Mr.. Mer-
rtt's daughters were cooking dinner.
Two OF the daughters, young women,
were standing near the stove ut the
time. The poison exploded q few SEC
onds after coming in contact with the
flames, and livid streak of fire flashed
from the front Of the stove and struck
them in the face, ~inficting severe
burns. The symptoms of the burns
soon showed they were poisonous, and
medical aid was summoned without de-
lay. For . day or two il was feared
the young ladies could not recover. the

WHEN any antidote or remedy for N
particular class of disease obtains a
wide-spreading notoriety, it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that it must merit
the popularity it receives. It is within
our province to mention that DIR. J.

safest and most reliable remedial agent
for the cur of Liver, Kidney, Bladder,
and Glandular Diseases, Mental and
Physical Debility, and all complaints
emanating from a corrupt state of the
blood. etc, are in great demand. So
satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth of
this medicine, that We do not hesitate
to notice it in our columns. 1t is well
to mention that this medicine is COM
pounded of roots, herbs, and flowers of
California, and has no fiery material or
alcohol used in its preparation. We
can add no better eulogium than the
fact that we use it constantly in our own
and each member thereof par
takes of it, when necessary, according
directions. - York Paper. 81

Ethics OF DraW.POker.

tWAsulugtOn LetVer.j
Ben Holiday, who is now here living
in widowed quarters and looking after
his railroads, is said to have raised the
largest hands at poker known among
gaming capitalists.
"He won fifty thousand dollars from
me-" said William Sharon "but l was
sick that day and had to let him take it.

1t is very easy to corrupt public men
at the poker-table, for a large percent
age of them play-nearly as many, 1
should Judge, as in the old days of
slavery. Poker has arisen with the
Northwestern domination, and the ease
with which it is learned, the reckless
chances it invites, and the rapid popu-
larity it attains in every circle, make il
an especial game for large operators
who loiter on the threshold of politics.
Make a public man poor and replace
the money as a gift, or permit him-to
win and suppose he has wronged you,
and he will try to work of the obliga-
ton with a might which he almost i'm
putes righteous. These great, brawny
operators know such things, and honor
in the chief places is no barrier to their
c~ircumventing. The table, the fine and
rapid woman, worldly talk with bril-
liancy in its d~elusiveness, the confidence
that follows the wine-cup, and the cool
study of a man over five cards when he
bets beyond his measure-these are the
steps by which hard men capture better
ones. Bribery is seldom direct, wound
ing the feelings or pride of the recipi-
ent. 1t is extended, like the love which
precedes ruin. It says:
MY friend, l admire you. To see
you poor with your talents is reproach
to our country that you illustrate. 1

And il is done.

A Scene In the WOmen's War.

Among the many heart-touching incl
dents of the wOmen's temperance move
ment reported in the daily papers from
scores Of towns in Ohio, we cut the fol-
lowing from a recent letter in the Gin
cinnati Gazette, representing a scene in
Hillsboro "Turning q corner on last
Saturday afternoon, l came unexpect-
edly upon some fifty women kneeling on
the pavement and stone steps before this
door. A daughter of a former Governor
of Ohio vas leading in prayer. Sur
rounding her were the mothers, wives
and daughters Of former Congressman
and legislators, of our lawyers, physi-
clans, bankers, ministers and leading
men of all kinds. Indeed, there were
gathered there representatives from
nearly every household in the town.
The day was bitterly cold. A piercing
north wind swept the streets, piercing
us all to the bone. The plaintive, ten
der, earnest tones of that pleading wife
and mother arose on the blast, and were
carried to every heart within their
reach. Passers-by uncovered their
heads, for the place whereon they trod
was holy ground. They eyes of har-
dened men filed with tears, and many
turned away, saying they could not bear
to look n such a sight. Then the voice
of prayer was hushed, the women ros
and began to sing softly a sweet hymn
some old familiar words and tune-such
as our mothers sang to us in childhood's
days. We thought, a mortal man re-
sist such efforts? The effect upon the
spectators is indescribable. No sheer
is heard-scarcely a light word is
spoken. The spiri. Of devotion is
abroad, and those who would scorn to
pray themselves, yet feel that here is
something which they must at least re-

Give Them Cold Water,

1t is very doubtful if there is a single
possible disease in which the patient
should not have cold water ad Hbitun,.
o, how babies often suffer for cold wa
ter! A nursing baby is given, no mat
ter how thirsty, nothing but milk. The
little lips are dry and cracked, and the
little tongue SO parched it can scarcely
nurse, and yet it has nothing but milk
to assuage its craving thirst. Try it
yourself, mother, when you have q fe.
YER, and we are ure that wei after,

will be in constant use. Deny it milk,

R~othschild's Career on the Turf,

A London paper says that If the ex-
ample of the late Baron Rothschild's
career on the turf could be more gener-
ally followed this national sport might
yet be saved from the degradation which
threatens it. The professed object of
racing is to improve the breed of horses.
and, no doubt, if rich men would pur.
sue it with this single object thew would
do what cannot otherwise be done. To.
Baron Rothschild, accordingly, a fine
race-horse was an animal worth produc-
ing for its own sake, and he applied
himself systematically to breeding race
horses. He eve squandered money
in speculative purchases, but kept q
stud which he diligently and patiently
improved, and it was by the qualities Of
a thorough man of business that he al
length achieved a conspicuous success.
When he won, two years ago the Der
by, the Oaks, and the st. Leger, all the
world felt that . piece of good useful
work had been Justly rewarded. and
they rejoiced at the evidence thus shown
that the turf was capable of r~einvieora-

When Smiley, of Pittsburgh, started
for Philadelphia the other day . woman
occupied the seat in front of him with
twin infants. just before the train
moved of the woman asked Smiley to
hold tie babies for . moment While she
went to the drug store across the street
after q new bottle top. He took the
little mes and before the woman re-
turned the train started. Smiley Was
in agony, and when the babies began
to cry no words can describe his misery.
This kind of thing continued until dark,
and then as the conductor refused TO
have anything to do with the infants,
poor old Smiley put them into his own
birth and tried to soothe them. But
the more he tried the more they bowled,
and he set up alongside of them the
whole night utterly wretched, while the
other passengers swore at him and
threw boots at his head, and called him
hard names because he wouldn't keep
the youngsters quiet. Blythe time morn
ing came Smiley was pretty near crazy,
and the twins were almost starved to
death. He had nothing to give them
but plug tobacco and bay rum, which
he carried for his hair, and he knew
those were not healthy. The first time
the train stopped he bolted out aud got
apie. When he returned one of the
twins had tumbled off the seat and had q
broken nose /; but he stuffed them both
with the pie until they were deathly
sick, and began to disgorge. Then
Smiley was in a worse case than ever.
When he reached Philadelphis he was
on the very verge of insanity, and his
reason was all but detbroned when Q
policeman entered the car and seized
him on the authority of atelegram from
Pittsburgh, on q charge Of kidnapping.
BE spent the night in Jail, and was then
released on bail. He wants to aDd the
father Of those twins. He yearns to
tell him something, and to tumble
among his hair.-Mar Adeler.

- Mr.. Disraeli draws the following dark
picture of Ireland at the present time /:
1 have made q note of the provisions
of the Coercion act, which we're extend
ed by the Lord Lieutenant in 1870, and
have been extended subsequently; SO
that now, l believe, they apply to eley-
en.twelfths of the whole country. In
the first place, persons out at night I'M

fore q magistrate and examined as to
their mode of livelihood, and their OBJ
ject in being in such district, and unless
their answers are satisfactory, or they
can produce persons to find security for
their good behavior, they may be sent
to Jail. Thirdly, newspapers may be
warned, and afterwsrd become forfeited.
Fourthly, the sale of gunpowder and
arms is subjected to stringent rules.
Filthy, grand juries are authorized to
present moneys to be levied for payment
of compensation to persons whose rela.
tives have been murdered, or to persons
who have been themselves injured.
That was in the year 1870. In 1871 this
stringent measure of coercion was not
found adequate. A supplementary bill
was brought in and passed into an act,
and this Peace Preservation act was
till the year 1873. And in
1873 it was proposed, and successfully
proposed, TO continue these acts until
the year 1875 and Ireland at this mo-
ment, l believe l may say, is governed
by these laws, which in severity-I am
not saying that the severity is not nee.
essary ; l refrain from entering on any
question of that kind-but is governed
by laws Of coercion and stringent sever
that do not exist in any other quar-
ter of the globe. Well, then, is it not
perfectly absurd to pretend to talk of
the tranquility of Ireland, where a man
cannot go ont into his garden after din
ner and look at the stars or see which
way the wind blows without the risk of
