Fer Drunkards.
San Francisco Post, April Is.

A most horrible and sickening
death occurred in Kernan's saloon,
in the back yard of the City Hall,
at 10:l5 o'clock this morning, being
no less than the spontaneous COM
bustion of q human body. The vic
tim was man who has not been
more than q month in the city, but
during that time has been frequent
ly arrested for drunkenness. He
wandered about alone, seemingly
demented, occupying his whole
time in drinking the vile poison of
the city front and Barbary Coast
dens. He has twice been treated by
DIR. Stivers for delirium tremens,
and was this morning discharged
after longer time than usual. With
seemingly an insane desire for
drink, he continued from Z 80
o'clock drinking stesdily at the va
rious bars in the vicinity, and the
large size of each potation promised
speedily to send him back TO the
hospital.
About the time mentioned he
staggered into the room nearly in
sensible, and feebly asked for q
\ His W79 IO1ucC0 nlIAE 2ud
he staggered toward the gas-jet to
light the stump of cigar he carried,
while the barkeeper turned away to
attend to his duties. A moment af-
terward he heard q low moan and
noticed q flash of IRE, and turning
around he saw Harley falling to the
floor, his head developed in black,
thick smoke, while flames issued
from bis mouth and ears. A horri-
ble smell of burned flesh filed the
air. Not q moment was lost in at
tending to the sufferer. He was be-
yond relief, however. His face was
perfectly black, partly charred and
partly covered with 9 moist SCOT.
His eyes were open. His mouth
was completely roasted on the in
side, but, with the exception of his
head and hands, no part of his body
bore marks of his horrible death.
A letter found in his pocket, adj
dressed to n. Harley or HartIy, fur
nished the only clue to his identity.

Singular Property of a1le To
mate Plant.

A--a86( = SESAME
81 planted 8 peach orchard -
writes Mr.. Siroy, of the Society OF
Horticulture, Valparaiso, sand the
trees grew well and strongly
They had just commenced to bud
when they were invaded by the
curculio (puigon,) which insects
were followed, as frequently hap
pens, by ants. Having cut toma-
toes, the idea occurred to me that
placing some OF the leaves around
the trunks and branches of the
peach trees I might preserve them
from the rays OF the sun, which
was very powerful. My surprise
was great on the following day to
find the trees entirely free from
their enemies, not one remaining,
except here and there where a
curled leaf prevented the tomato
from exercising its influence
These leaves / carefully unrolled,
placing upon them fresh ones from
the vines, with the result of ban
ishing the last insect, and enabling
the tree to grow with luxurience.
Wishing to carry still further my
experiment, I stepped in water
some fresh leaves of the tomato,
and sprinkled with this infusion
other plants, roses and oranges.
In two days these also were free
from the innumerable insects
which covered them, and felt
sure, had / used the same means
with my melon patch, should
have met with the same result. I
therefore deem it a duty ] owe to
the Society of Horticulture to
make known this singular and USE
full property of the tomato leaves,
which 1 discovered by the merest
accident"

senator Plumb.
-

Early Tuesday morning, Sena-
tor p. B. Plumb, accompanied by
our efficient county treasurer, Mr..
j. S. Edie, called on us, aud we
mnst say, we were agreeably sur
prised at the frankness and socia-
bility manifested by the Senator
after We were introduced to him.
OF course, being greenbackers, the
subject first brought up was the
greenback question, and we elicit
ed from him almost q verbatim re-
iteration of his views on the ques-
tion as were contained in his letter
to the Greenback Senatorial eau
Gus, prior to the senatorial cleo
ton last winter. He is undou5t-
eddy a greenback mana Green
back Senator from Kansas-and
expressed to US SONS very logical
and sensible methods by which a
permanent greenback currency
could be established exclusively
by the government as a circula-
ting medium, and that, too, of
equal purchasing power with gold,
yet, like q sensible man that he is,
he did not say his method was the
only one that was right and that
no other could be proposed that
would fully answer its place, but
that the difference of opinion on
this question was exactly what
was necessary to bring about a
wise and complete solution of the
problem through careful and we'll
directed legislation. Senator
Plumb is a man near or quite six
feet in height, well proportioned,
and is true specimen of an Amer
lean statesman. His features in
dicate to one unacquainted with
him, that he is a man of sterling
integrity and sound judgment, and
one capable of being of much bon
eft to the people as a public SER

One Way TO BE MIsERABLE.-Tf
you want to be miserable, think
constantly of yourself, your woes
and your cares, your trials and
tribulations; pity yourself for the
troubles you must hear and the
evils that affect you. Magnify ev-
cry i'll, see no comfort or blessing
in the path in which stern DESTINY
has planted your feet; and if you
want to make your friends misera-
BILE too, keep your sad face ever
before them, and insist upon
entertaining them with a recital of
yeur peculiar troubles, and seek
for their constant sympathy and
coincidence. You will accomplish
your amiable purpose by this
course, but before long you will
find yourself the only sympathizer,
for your friends Will vote you an
unmitigated bore, and seek more
congenial society, and avoid you

The New Louisiana Senator.
TBoton Adyertiser.l

lDOCOn AOfSEItSSEsl
The new Senator, (HenIy Martyr
Spohord,) is a native of this State and
a graduate of Amherst College. His
father was a clergyman at Chilmark,
on Cape Cod, who more than forty
years ago removed to Amherst to edu-
cate his three sons. One OF these sons
is the accomplished librarian of the
congressional library. The eldest of
the three died in 1889. The second,
who has just been chosen Senator, was
graduated In 1910, the salutarian of his
class. He was tutor in the college
for three years, studying law mean
time, then went south and settled at
Shreveport, La, forming q law part
nership with Judge Olcott, brother
in-law of Rufus Choate. His talents
made him at once successful, and in a
very short time he became Judge of
the Supreme Court of the State, which
position he resigned many years ago
TO practice law in New Orleans and to
indulge in the literary studies to which
his taste inclined him. He gained
great consideration as q lawyer and
gentleman of culture, and belonged to
the distinguished social and profession
al circle adorned by such brilliant
minds as Pierre Soule and Judah p.
Benjamin.
He favored secession, but his conser-
vative constitution kept him from
wrecking himself in that madness. he
has from the first hailed the Presidents
policy as the beginning of a new era
for Louisiana and the country. Not
far from flfty-five years old, q man Of
unusual Intellectual acuteness and ex-
perience In affairs, an orator of high
rank, and earnestly devoted to building
up new union Of all sections of the
nation In peace and freedom, he will
be an acquisition to the senate which
may well make US content to lose both
Pinchback and Kellogg.

The Chambersburg (Pa.) Valley
Spirit, in connection with the de-
parture, for the far west, of $50 per-
sons, some for Illinois, some for
Missouri, some for Nebraska and
some for Kansas, expresses the fol-
lowing favorable opinion of our
State:

noise make a great mistake in not
going further. We have a book CIV
ing q minute description of every
county in Kansas, with its popula-
ton, &c, aud we find that Illinois
has contributed far more than any
other State to the population of
Kansas. Illinois farmers shrewdly
sell their property at good prices to
Pennsylvanians and others, and be-
take themselves to Kansas, where
they can get land OF the very finest
quality at prices which seem to be
no prices at all to people who live
Where land is so dear.
Kansas has fire streams of good
water, and is abundanuy supplied
with coal for fuel, and stone for
building purposes. Much of the
State is underlaid with magnetism

City, and many other localities, is
so soft when taken out thgt il can

the very highest importance) no

The more quietly and peaceably
we get on, the better-the better for
our neighbors. In nine cases out
of ten the wisest policy is, if man
cheats You quit dealing with him !;
if he is abusive, quit his company !;
if he ISLANDERS you, take care to live
so that nobody will believe him; no
matter who he is, or how he misus-
es you, the wisest way is to let him
alone; for there is nothing better
than this cool, calm, quiet way of
dealing with the wrong we meet
