that child with unuttenble tenderness. But
the fact is, she does not love me, or-to say
the most for her-she loves me very little. II

a crushing sorrow il would not disturb her

sides this, she has never brought Inc penny,
but has been constant expense on my hands
ever since she was born. Yet although | am
not rich in the worlds possessions there is not
money enough in the world to buy my baby.

A Washington Poisoning Horror Of Twenty
Years Ago.

The Oil City Call says: THE room where
senator Hill now lives on the fatal 4th Of
March which witnessed Buchanan's inaugura-
ton was occupied by the new President.
Twelve hundred guests were crowded in tho
house. In the evening nearly all were seized
by similar symptoms of poisoning, and thirty
or more died The dead bodies lay in rows in
the parors, the sick and the dying were moan
ing in the hall A gloom hung over the city
and extended TO distant homes, from whence
had come guests to witness the Inauguration.
The house had just previous to this been en-
tirely rcrlrnished. 1t was the grand hotel Of
the capital, and built in style Of magnifcence
rare in those times.

poisoning is remembered with horror by our
old people, but many Of the younger ones
have never heard of it. The affair was inves-
tigatod and the house examined. No positive
clue has ever been found. Some say defec-
tive drainage, some poisoned rats in the well,
some that the sugar was poisoned to ruin the
business Of the hotel. 1t is generally believed
now. ! think, that il was mineral poison, and
was in the sugar, for the reason that persons
not stopping at the house, who took fancy
drinks at the bar, were also seized by cramp.

ter of century before, were again filed with
life and beauty.
