MUSHROOM POISONING.


An interesting case was recently brought
before one of the criminal courts of London,
the Grand Jury throwing out bill of in
dictment against gardener who was charged
with numbering fellow-servant by giving
her poisonous mushrooms to eat. Although
there was no reason to suppose that the
mushrooms were given with any felonious
intention, yet three persons were actually
poisoned by them, and one died; the fungi
being so much like mushrooms that even
n skilled witness saw nothing in them to dis
tinguished them from genuine article Of
food. 1t appearing in evidence that mush-
rooms growing under trees are dangerous,
the presiding judge gave great emphasis to
the Importance of such fact being widely
known, and called attention to the following
tabulation by Prof. Bentley-though not an
unerring one-showing the general charac-
ters by which the edible and poisonous
species of fungi may best be distinguished !:
The edible mushrooms grow solitary, in dry,
airy places, and ape generally white or
brownish; E; they have compact, brittle
tiesh do not change color, when cut, by
the action of the air juice watery, an odor
agreeable taste not bitter, acrid, salt, or
astringont. The poisonous mushrooms, on
the contrary, grow in clusters, in woods,
and dark, damp places, and are usually of a
bright color; their flesh is tough, soft, and
watery, and they acquire a brown, green, or
blue tint when cut and exposed to the air !;
the juice is often milky, the odor commonly
powerful and disagreeable, and the taste
either acrid, astringent, acid, salt, or bitter
These characteristics are almost invariable.

A WESTERN CUSTOM.

Dan Davis, of Virginia City, paid visit
to Promontory, on the Central Pacific Rail-
road, and was charmed with the manners
and customs, almost patriarchal in their
frank simplicity, of the people. He stopped
at the principal hotel of the town. 1t was a
nice place, and the landlord was a very
agreeable and friendly sort of a man. Says
Dan:
when dinner was ready the landlord
came out into the street in front of his hotel
with a double -barreled shotgun. Raising
the gun above bis head he fred of one
barrel.

for"

DEEPEST WELL IN THE WORLD.

At about twenty miles from Berlin is stu
ated the village of Spsrenberg, noted for
the deepest well that ever has been sunk.
Owing to the presence of gypsum in the To-
cality, which is at moderate distance from
the capital, it occurred to the Government
authorities in charge of the mines to obtain
a supply of rock salt. With this end in
view, the sinking of shaft or well sixteen
feet in diameter was commenced some five
years ago, and, at depth Of two hundred
and eighty feet, the salt was reached. The
boring was continued to further depth of
nine hundred and sixty feet, the diameter Of
the bore being reduced to about thirteen
inches. The operations were subsequently
prosecuted by the aid of steam, until depth
of 4l94 feet was attained. At this point
the boreing was discontinued, the borer be-
ing still in the salt deposit, which thus ex-
hibits the enormous thickness of 1907 feet.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with o pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

WHAT a brute of husband that was out
in Iowa. Herefused to kiss his wife for three
months, and the tender%hearted darling com
mitted suicide. Now, if we'd been in that
woman's place we wouldn't have committed
suicide. We'd have called in a substitute,
and closed our eyes, and imagined all the
time it was the dear one. But some women
amt got any sense. The female wasn't any
thing at all like Brooklyn female we once
knew. He and she got mad, and he would
not kiss her for several days, She said to
him he'd be sorry for it. She went to a
party next evening, where they played
"Pick cherries and hand them down." and
"Post-ofice, " and "Pout in the corner, " and
whole lot Of such plays, and she was up
every time she had a chance, and never re-
fused kiss. And there was one young man
in the party whose kisses pleased her so much
that the following week she eloped with
him. That's the way she took to make her
husband sorry. We can't say that he is
bowed down with grief. We saw him the
other day, and he was about half drunk, and
smoking fve-cetrt cigar and telling funny
story that nobody but himself laughed at.
Some men don't seem to have any hearts to
break.

The statistics OF the trade and COM
merce for March, as represented by an
exchange, show that 145 vessels arrived
from foreign ports and 116 were clear
ed. The imports of coffee, sugar, and
molasses were the heaviest for the same
period for long time. and the exports
of petroleum reached large proportions.
OF wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and the
other export products, the value was
nearly S2,000,000. The receipts from
import duties at the Custom-House were
over 100000. The Southern coatwise
trade IS hourishing, indicating that n
good spring business is being done. The
grain and -four receipts were larger than
Tor the previous month. The railroads

inerce. One million dollars has Just

Threatened War.

New YORK, April 3.-There is much
excitement in clubs and hotels and on
the streets tonight over the remarks of
the President to-day, which indicate war
with Mexico. He is said to have stated
that we never would have peace with
that country until it was either made
part of the United States or put under
protectoratc, and that he had given
orders to concentrate upon the frontier
sufficient force, not only to command
the peace but to punish the invaders
1t is believed here that the whole affair
is scheme gotten up to involve. us in n
war for political effect, and our business
men see in it utter ruin This belief is
strengthened by statement made by a
late member of the Committee on For.
eign Relations, who says that when he
called upon the President, during the
late session, General Grant urged him
to push through an appropriation to in
demnify settlers on the Mexican and
Texas boundary, and he significantly
added, You can make it enough to pay
for considerable Mexican territory"
