A FATAL case of poisoning by
peach-stOnes, which is noted in the
French papers as having recently
occurred in Paris, should serve as Il
warning to families in which chill
dren are allowed to look after them
selves for hours at a time. PrObab-
~ very few adults themselves know
how poisonous peach-stOnes are.
The victim of the recent accident at
Paris secreted the stones of a num-
Der of peaches, and, obtaining a
hammer, when left alone, broke
them open industriously and ate
them the result being that he
was fatally poisoned by hydroeianic
(prussic) acid. Since the peach
season is now upon us, it is well to
explain what quantity of poison the
peach-stOne possesses. Writers on
tOxicOlOgy state that one ounce of
kernels contain about one grain of
pure prussic acid, and this quanti-
ty, it is well known, is sufficient to
kill any adult person. Even two
thirds of a grain has very often pro-
we'd fatal, and may well be regard
ed as a fatal dose for any Child
Scientific american.

As THE territory occupied by the
yellow fever grows in size the area
in the South over which the mails
are delivered becomes proportion
ately smaller. The dispatches re-
ceived from day to day bear witness
that this cutting down of the eX-
tent of postal operations in the
South is rapid, Mail service has
recently been discontinued on the
Alabama river, and the line of mail
boats running from Vicksburg to
st. Louis has stopped running. The
opinion is expressed at the Post Of
flee Department that within a week
there will be no mail service of any
consequence in the South. If this
prediction be verified, it will great
ly simplify the operation of fumi-
eating the mails from that section,
as there will be no mails to fumi-
gate.--- Washington Star.

The Dark Day.
Arizona Miner.

An old lady now living on the
Little Colorado, who has attained
to the comfortable old age of 128
years, Was 30 years of age at the
time of the dark day, of which she
has a vivid recollection, and recalls
many interesting incidents that took
place with her people, the Spanish
and also the Indians who were more
supersticiOus. The Spaniards bur-
led all their Saints, of which they
had a goodly number, while the
Indians took to feasting upon dogs
and other animals. The dark day
was so called on account of the re-
markable darkness that extended
throughout America. The obscura-
ton commenced about ten o'clock
on the morning May 10, 1880, and
continued until the middle of the
next night. Birds sang their even
ing song, disappeared and remained
silent, fowls went to roOst, cattle
sought the barnyard, and candles
were lighted in the houses. The
true cause of this remarkable phe-
nOmenOn is not, and will probably
never be known.

SIR: Believing you to be the man
to do everything for everybody, we
ask you to go to theneXt Legislature
and do it. Greenbacks are wanted,
State warrants are wanted, though
county warrants would do, in a
pinch. Could you not make a new
Constitution and abolish the poll
evil therein? We are unalterably
opposed to poll tax, police and pOlit-
zeal poly-wOgs. As to the State
debt, you will he able, we know, to
satisfy all shades of opinion, by pay
ing it off, without using any money.
That's our ticket, and you are the
man to do it. Ofcourse we acknOwl-
edge the debt, and we are desper-
.ately, cruelty and atrOciously OPP
posed to reputation but in view
of the money that might be got out
OF a State Bank, with some Of us
for Directors-if the money can ever
be got into ORe-added to the free
and festive circulation of State war
rants at par, in a State Of unlimited
credit, with new system of assess
ment, property classification, and
general assiication Of the public
miud-why, in that case, we would
call upon you to lead the public
brain, as it were, in the direction
we have indicated, to the still
waters of No Taxation, so TO speak,
where State fame and honor, debt
compromise and reputation are
unknown, where donkeyism is I'M
recognized, where the bridge Of
asses IS invisible, and where the
fOol-killer, despairing at the labor
before him, comes no more, Ho
more, alas, nevermOre! Amt it?
Another thing: We have been
fold that every man can have, UNI
der the laws of our paternal State
Government, one thousand dollars
exempt from execution, and another
exempt from taxation. is II not
high time that the State was paying
this money? Some of MS have
meyer seen either thousand. Why
should a great State exempt and
faiI 70 furnish the money to be eX-
emnted? This is heartless political
fooIery, and a proud, sensitive, hon
aysble constituency will not always
stand this sort of nonsense:

An AnecdOte of Bale PeytOn and
Sergeant =. Prentiss.
New York Time,

1t is related of the late Bale
PeytOn, of Tennessee, that he was a
great admirer and friend of Sergeant
S. Prentiss, the gifted New Eng
lander who went South and gained
such reputation for oratory. Alta
Wing mass meeting in Nashville in
1914, Prentiss made an unusually
brilliant speech, and, not being very
well, tainted from exhaustion at the
close. PeytOn, believing that such
a speech had never been delivered
before, was extremely enthusiastic,
and bending over the orators I'M
conscious figure, exclaimed, "Don't
come to, Prentiss. Now is your
time to die; for this is the compile
ton and elimination of your fame"
Prentiss did not follow the advice.
he lived six years after that, and
died at Il, having achieved fame as
one of the most eminent of Ameri-
can orators. Many of his admirers
regarded him as superior to Henry
Clay.

five million families spend seven
dollars q week on living where, by
good management and foresight,
six dollars would suffice, and that a
wise economy on their part would
effect a saving to the nation in one

million dollars. The question of
good and cheap cookingis certainly
an important one, and the house
wife who can by q little study and
foresight indirectly raise her hus-

DEFERRED LOCAL AND CORRES-
PONDENCE.


OF late it is very common to have
fine hunting dogs stolen from our
town, and as dogs are now reeog-
nized as property, it is about time
that this was stopped. The Su-
preine Court Of this State has de-
cided that criminal action against
a dog-thief holds good. There is
now a man in our penitentiary for
three years for stealing a dog. This
is as it should be, for if dogs selling
from 800 to 81, 900 each are not
property, then we would like to
know what constitutes property.
There have been four dogs stolen
from here lately, and the owners
determine to find them and punish
the thief. Mr.. John West had
stolen a lemon pup, Martin Elder a
pointer, and Mr.. Brooks has had
two stolen, first setter pup and
now his lemon setter bitch. These
dogs are not stolen by parties living
here, but generally disappear on
market days.

THE ExELE,s APPEAL.


These exquisite verses were writ
ten by Joseph Brennan, a gifted
young Irishman, who plunged into
the revolution of 1913, and became
an exile in consequence. They were
written in New Orleans. The au-
thor is now dead:
Come to me, darling, am lonely without
Day time and night time, I'm dreaming
Night time and day time, in dreams be-
Unwelcome the waking that ceases to fold
thee;
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to tighten,
Come in thy beauty TO bless and to brighten
Come in thy womanhoOd, meekly and lowly,
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swallows shall fit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring, and its joys renewing;
Thoughts OF thy love and its manifest treas
Are circling my heart with the promise of
pleasure;
Shine out on my soul till it burgeon and
blossom;
Thy fondness alone to the sunlight canwin it.
Figure which moves like a song through the
Features lit up with a reflex of Heaven,
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin, our mother,
Where sunshine and shadows are chasing
each other.
Smiles coming seldom, but child-like and
simple,
And opening their eyes from the heart of
dimple,
OH thanks to the Savior, that even the
seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew was

Dear, are you sad to hear that Pm saddened =?
