An English lady and her son died a
few days ago at Heidelberg, poisoned
By eating mushrooms. The gentleman
and a younger brother gathered them
in the woods, and, on returning to their
bOarding-hOuse, ordered them to be

The Chinese in their W country
used to get their opium chiefly from In
dia, but latteTly they have consumed a
native article, which is said to be less
rapidly ~enervating in its effect. Indeed,
the British Consul at Canton, Mr..
Robertson, asserts with regard to the
latter "The truth is, it is a stimulant
Of harmless character when used, as it
generally IS, moderately and to those
much exposed to the weather, such as
boat people, it is a necessity. That il
may be abused is probable, but excess
carries with il, among the Chinese, the
same amount Of moral degradation as
inebriety does with US"
The Italian Senate is about to sitin
judgment on one Of its members, Sig
nor Satriano, a Neapolitan. Many
years ago he borrowed 10000 lire from
a lady living in Cosenza in Calabria.
On her demanding repayment two or
three years ago they had an interview.
II Is alleged that the creditor brought a
receipt unsigned, and that Satriano got
possession Of this, and on returning
home forged the lady's signature. She
sued ~Satriano, who produced the alleged
forged receipt. Experts hesitated as I 0
the genuineness Of the signature, but
SignOra Satriano, who apparently pos
sesses property separate from her hus-
band, interviewed and paid the money.
This put an end to the suit, but the
Senate viii now investigate the matter.

A little Chinese girl, about s years

Of the city Of Sacramento. Application
for her admission was made in the usual
way 10 the Superintendent Of Public
Schools, but he referred the matter 10

first time that a Chinese parent has
made application for the admission Of a
child TO the public schools.
DR.. Samuel Elliot, head master Of
the Girls High School, Boston. thinks
that if teachers could be united or re-
presented in a faculty, and allowed to
carry out their convictions, they would
soon transfer some If the studies Of the
higher schools TO the lower, in a more
elementary form: for they know that
thousands Of children in the lower
schools viii not pass into the higher, and
that what they do not learn where they
are will never be learned elsewhere.

4 Mammoth Locomotive.

The Iron World says: An engine has
been recently placed on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad which weighs seven tons
heavier than the pOnderous Modoc,
whose drawing capacity is almost twice
that of an ordinary locomotive. The
Modoc is capable of taking eighty load
ed ears from Harrisburg to Columbia,
while other engines are put to a severe
test when they pull fifty 7 on that
portion of the road. This locomotive,
when fully initiated, is expected to get
away with one hundred cars. The only
argument that a be used against large
engines is that they are hard on tracks,
but as the Pennsylvania Company has
adopted steel rails-able to withstand a
greater pressure than iron rails-the
wear win not be material. The intro
duction of these mammoth engines IS
considered a very economical measure
by the railroad company.

IN Lee County, Georgia, the other
day, a hound struck a trail and followed
il persistently, but for a while no one
followed. The hounds long continued
absence led to an investigation. His
trail was followed, and, about 10 o'clock
in the morning, his baying betrayed his
whereabouts, and when the party ar
rived where the hound was, they found
not an otter or a coon, but a darby

run him down, forced him to take to the
tree and kept him there from 10 o'clock
at night until , in the morning. Evil

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, who visited New
Orleans, and who was present in the Rep
s9ntatives' hall when the Democrats at
tempted to run away with the State gov
eminent, and from his associations had
peculiar advantages in learning their
plans, gives the. following paragraph con-
corning the line of action determined
upon, as illuminated by DR.. McAIillen,
who was the adviser Of Mr., Wilt at the
coup detat:
The object of the Motorcycles was fully
explained by General McMillen, formerly
praeticing physician in Columbus, Ohio,
pow the United States Senator elected by
the McEnery Legislature, in answer to a
comparatively mild revolutiOnist, who, in
the midst of the confusion, yentured to
suggest that they proceed according to the
law. ooh, Cd d-n the law" rOared Nc
Millen, ''yOu do what YOU are told. We
propose to organize a McEnery House, and
then recognize the MeEnery Senate and the
McEnery State government" This was
their purpose, but think the President was
in error when he assumed that next they
proposed TO overthrow the Kellogg govern
melt by violence. They simply proposed
to put in operation a second State govern
ment, in the hope that by this means they
would bring Congress to recognize the one
or the other by some decisive action.
