Marshall Herald on the Iwo-Tbirds
Ruie,

The two,thirds rule was adopted by
the democracy to prevent the nomina.
ton of Mr.. Van Buren,, as very great
prejudice existed against him, and the
leading men of the democracy believed
that If he was forced upon the country,
it would lead to disruption of the
party, and its consequent defeat. 1t
has been continued since then without
any particular reason, and in opposition
to the judgment of most of its leading
men. So far from having operated
satisfactorily, it has, in many instances,
defeated the most talented, faithful,
patriotic public men, and fostered upon
the country men of less experience and
ability. This has been the history of
the party nationally and in the states.

Singular Suicides.

In the year 1900, William Darlington
threw himself from the parapet of the
church of st. Sepulchre, in London,
leaving behind him a note, stating as
his reason, "that he wanted to go to the

enough to purchase a ticket OF admis-
sion."
A farmer in Allendale, England, got a
gun barrel, loaded it, and placed the
stock end in hot fire, and leaned his
stomach against the other. The barrel
soon became hot, and exploded, killing
the unfortunate wretch instantly.
A blacksmith in New Orleans, in 1841,
killed himself in the same manner, blow
ing his bellows until the fire was hot
enough to explode the gun barrel.

A Chinese Dentist,

The native dentists are the merest
charlatans, and practice as magicians and
curealls. They insert artificial teeth of
the sea-horse, which are kept in place
by copper-wire wrappings or fastenings
to the adjacent teeth, and charge about
three cents per tooth for the operation.
Teeth are extracted by o. hocus-pocus

What They Eat In Burmah.

The Burmese have remarkable rel
ish for the most strongly favored food.
Living as they do either by the sea or
on the banks of rivers and creeks, it is
natural that fish should form one of the
commonest ingredients of the food of the
people; and were they content with the
fish freshly caught from the river or
sea, there would be no matter for re-
mark. This most unsavory food, huge
mounds of which are piled up in every
market and whole boat-loads of which
are carried by river, poisoning the very
air where the boat IL moored, consists OF
fish which has first been allowed to de-
cay, and is then in some way picked
and pounded into sort OF paste. 1t is
called nGpee, and as the English dinner
table is incomplete without potatoes, SO
no Burmese rice dish is complete with
out napee. In the common form in
which the people eat it have never
heard of any Englishman being convert
ed to taste for adpee it is found,
however, in a more refined form called
b0Iachong, in which it resembles a
very highly favored anchovy paste, and
in which it may be appreciated by any
one whose taste is not over-delicate.
One more illustration must be given OF
what to sober people. who shudder at
the thought even of frogs, may seem an
incredible depravity of taste. Among
the delicacies of Burmese table one OF
the rarest is sort of fricassee or grill
made of peculiar species of very large
maggot. This creature, short in length
but of monstrous girth, is found in the
fruit of certain palm trees a dish Of
them is sometimes brought by natives
as present on the occasion of their Wis
iting an Englishman, and when fried Oh
toast they are supposed to be excellent
eating. 1 was once nearly taken una
wares by dish of pogoungs, which waf
introduced to me as toasted cheese, but
having heard of the existence of the re-
atty I detected the trap, and was saved
from making the experiment. Fraser
