Killed by Swallowing a
Type.

Eliza Wooding residing in Bur-
Iington, Iowa, died after an ILL
ness that may properly be said to
have continued for two weeks, al
though no alarming indications
were noticeable during the early
part of that time. The child (she
was twelve years of age) was
playing with few printers types,
and putting some into her mouth
one accidentally slipped down her
throat until she was compelled to
swallow it. She was a bright,
healthy child, and in good flesh
at the time. In a day or two her
appetite failed and her flesh fell
off. Medical assistance was Sc.
cured, but the case did not seem to
mend. The child was reduced to
a skeleton and was failing every
day. She was deprived of her
strength entirely, and was utterly
helpless. At last the type pass
ed from the child's system, and
hopes were entertained that she
would recover, but they were in
vain. The poisonous metal had
been retained too long.

A Spiders Large Game.

From the Danielsonville (Conn Transcript.
Many remarkable anecdotes
have been told illustrating the
skill and seeming intelligence of
the subtle spider, and none more
worthy of note than a circum-
stance which occurred in our own
village the other day, which was
witness by a number OF curiosity
lovers. In the cellar of Mr.. Mel.
son Williams a spider had prepar
ed his web between a barrel and
tub, and there suspended from the
ground hung a small snake about
ten or eleven inches in length.
The thread of the web had been
ingeniously twisted or woven
around the tail of the unfortunate
reptile, and 1t was evident that he
had been drawn up from the
ground to a perilous position.
The spider seemed to be anxious
ly watching his squirming victim
from one corner of his web, prob
ably waiting for life TO become ex-
tinct, when he would probably
indulge in reptile repast rs re-
ward for his cunning. The snake
remained in this precarious atti-
tude for thirty-six hours after it
was first discovered, and then es,
capped, cheating the adroit spider
after all.

A Black Eye.

When a man is splitting wood
and a stick flies up and blacks his
eye, he must prepare to endure all
the taunts and jeers which the
world inflicts on pirate. Social
standing counts for nothing, and
dignity can't be made a mantle Of.
The other day, says an exchange,
when a composltor on this paper
took up his little ak and broke a
stick in two and one end flew into
his eye, he knew that be must eli.
ther remain in the house for two
weeks or go out and face the
worlds sneers. He decided to
face the sneers, and during one
short half day he noted down the
following expressions s:r
"It's all right; of course it was
a stick Of wood. Oh. yes"
"Been fighting again, eh?"
"Well who knocked you down
this timer"
"Oh, I've had the same thing
all my eye, and | always laid it
to stick of wood. /
cha, ha. The policeman
struck hard, didn't he?"
''Of course it was a stick of
wood-ye-he-he!''
Then there were people who
pointed him out as an abductor
of Charley Ross and people who
thought he was one Gad's Hill
robbers, and over fifty respectable
men asked him why he didn't get
the other one black SC as to have
a pair. "'e..

guage concering any gentleman,
but the peculiar situation of af-

propitious time to develop bis sore
headedness. AS a party, we are
passing through the most critical
period of our existence. 1t is, as
it were, a life and death struggle.
We are waging a fearful battle
against the frauds and co-ruptions

corrupt parties that ever existed
in any country. Their crimes
cry Justify to heaven, and they in

this party and bears its colors
aloft over the State? Democrats

nance him for a moment? Is il
not your imperative duty to spew
him out of your mouths and leave
him wallowing in the filth and

erely alone with his new com
rades? What other object has he
in view than that of disrupting
the Democratic party, and of
bringing shame and defeat upon
it in November next? Out upon
the political trickster! Down him
at every ballot box in the State.
Let us teach him, and all others
like him, that he cannot run over
us "roughshod." His aim is a
sinister one, Notwithstanding his
huge professions of patriotism and
love for the "dear peo-
pIe." He is hungry for Office, and,
like a starving bound, he is not

meat. house he enters, or whose
fold of sheep he invades. Let US

A Funeral Attacked by
Hornets.

A very long funeral procession
was on valley road, at DAven-
port, Iowa, and the driver of the
fourth or fifth carriage gave the
side of hay stack cut with his
whip. Immediately hundreds of
hornets swarmed out of that stack,
and attacked the horses and men
and women furiously. He had
cut their nests, Many of the
horses reared, plunged forward,
pranced, tried 10 run and did run,
but the hill just before them soon
tuckered them out. The men
and women fought the hornets
with fans, handkerchiefs, parasols
and hats, nearly all the distance
to the cemetery. A few were
stung, and there was some screech.
ing-and there would have been
more but for a sense of decorum
due the solemn procession. 1t is
a wonder to verybody in the pro-
cession that no accident occurred.
With ali the veeripg and dashing
of the horses, not even a buggy
tipped over. There is no doubt
that if the hill had not been so
near, serious accidents would have
occurred; as it was. the first driver
had the good sense to let his team
try the hill when they started off
on being stung, and the driver be-
hind him followed his example.
No funeral procession ever went
up a hill as that one did.
