Poisoning by Choral.

An interesting account is furnished
by DR.. Young, of Florence, to one of
the foreign medical journals, of case
of poisoning by chlolal hydrate, and
the complete cure of the victim by
very simple means. A gentleman
took whole mixture, containing three
drachms of the salt, instead of the
sixth part, as ordered. He was in a
condition approaching lifelessness
when the doctor arrived, but by the
prompt application of hot-water bags
and bottles to the stomach and other
parts of the body, wrapping the legs
in warm flannel, and the administra-
ton of extract of meat with a little
brandy, after the heart began to show
evidence of regaining its power, the
patient was at last completely re-
stored.

He began to disappear. seemed to
breathe more freely. Then the shape,
which had almost disappeared, started
into sight again with a suddenness
which brought back the horror which
first siezed me.
"One word sir" he said. s'I'm
afraid haven't come we'll out of this
affair. Now s'pose-I only say s'pose
Il can put you on a good thing. It
may be a wreck lying in four or five
fathom Turks Island way it may be
a buried treasure it may be only a
pot of money it may be coins, or it
may be statues but if I should hear
of it, and was to come and tell you, it
might go some way to getting into
your good opinion again.
''No," Ireplied. Iwant nothing but
the assurance that l shall never see
you again."
He sighed.
swell, sir. I feel that I can't go
against your wishes. I promise. No
malice, Ell? When we meet again,
which meet we may, there will be no
malice, I hope.'
Then he disappeared finally, and
have seen no more of him.
have often wondered who Mr.. Jo-
seph KIRBY is, where he lives, what he
has done, and how he managed to Of
fend my ghost. Perhaps if he reads
this he will throw some light on the
Yokohama business. And I should
like to get at the bottom Of the affair
with Polly, and the Liverpool docks.

Russian Rule in Warsaw.

There has been no disposition, at
least not until the last few years, to
conceal the character of the claim by
right of which Russia rules in War
saw. The insolence of conquest could
not look more grim than in the ugly
stunted Obelisk, supported on lions,
which was erected in l84l upon the
Saski place in memory of the s'loyal''
Poles who fell victims to 'stheir fdel-
ity to their sovereign We have
