An Advertising Flend.

An unique incident occurred at Bald
wins Theater tho other evening, which
was not down in the bills, and which
sharply illustrates the proverbial push
and ingenuity of certain San Francisco
advertisers. 1t appears that the adyer-
Using agent OF a well-known Kearney
street auction house had engaged one
of the upper stage boxes for Thursday
evening, and few minutes after the
doors opened the ushers were paralyzed
at beholding large canvas transrar-
ency being expeditiously and quietly
erected in said box, and bearing on its
surface in twu.foot letters, the familiar
legend, "Try Guffey's Condensed
Chowder!' They at once hurried to
the box and begged the occupant to
desist. That enterprising individual
simply shrugged his shoulders and went
calmly on lighting wax tapers for his
illumination. The manager himself
rushed breathlessly to the spot and
ordered the agent TO leave the house.
"Not if know it, replied the indi-
vidual, cheerfully. Il paid twenty
dollars rent for this box until eleven
o'clock, and intend to do what l
please with it, bet your life.''
In vain the manager stOrmed, plead.
ed and offered to return the moncy-to
pay twice the amount. even. At last,
as the audience began to gather, he
ordered the ushe1s to remove the sign
by force. At this the agent deliberately
drew his revolver, and backing the
whole crowd out of the box, locked the
door. In this emergency coupe was
dispatched for the mans principal, Mr..
Guffey, who arrived i'll few moments,
post haste. He was hugely amused at
his employees persistency, and ut once

Poisoning by Wholesale.

The frightful slaughter just wrought
at Island Fond, Vt, by the alleged
criminal folly of man named Horace
Cheney, will direct attention to source.
OF danger which, in rural districts es-
pecially, is too habitually neglected.
Eleven children have died 80 far
from drinking, it is said, the water of q
brook running through village called
Newark. Five of these children, named
Aldrich, belonged to one family, and
their mother has become insane. A
number more are i'll, but it is hoped no
more will die. The cause of this fear
full calamity has been traced in part,
and there is but little doubt that the re-
sponsibility will be placed where it is
justly due. The children attended
school close by the fatal brook. Up
stream. and close by, was planted last
season q field of potatoes. Upon these
Paris-green was freely used to destroy
potato bugs. The tops of the vege
tables were afterward thrown into the
barnyard of Horace Cheney. From
this tarnyard to the brook a drain had
been built. But there was an older
source of pollution than this. In the
spring of 1873 the same man had
buried colt on the edge of the brook,
and it is said that the running water
washed out parts of the rotting carcass.
A Mr.. Simpson, Who has since lost q
child. one of the eleven we have named,
objected to the colt being buried by the
brook. Cheney then moved the body,
but only to replace it in q swamp no
more than fifty feet away, the water
from which ran into the brook. How
far the malefic effects of the water
drank by these children have been due
to the Paris-green. and how far to the
decomposing flesh of the buried ami
NAL. can only be shown by the careful
analysis which we are assured is now
in progress at Boston, and the results
of which will soon be made public.
But in any case it is clear that tho
children have been poisoned, and, as
the waterof the brook is declared to
be the only thing of which they par
took in common, and as many other
persons who have drunk of that water
have been made i'll by it, although in .
less serious degree, it is tolerably Ger
tain that to this source tie mischief has
been rightly imputed. That any per-
son should bury a carcass of any sort
close to running stream, or place
vegetable refuse saturated with acrid
poison where it could be communicated
to such stream, is a fragrant outrage.
The law certainly should be able to
reach offenders guilty of acts like this;
but it there is any embarrassment on
that score the case will suggest the
propriety of framing statutes to fore
stall or interdict power that other.
wise may be exerted by any cynical
scoundrel to poison off his neighbors
by wholesale without being brought to
proper account for it.-M.Y. Posi-.

the law. and it is so easy to unlock
the bonds which the priest declared no
man should break! And, because it so
easy, men and women marry in haste.
When they take the plunge into the
perilous sea of matrimony, they have
their eye fixed on the divorce court as
sort Of saving apparatus, which may
be useful if the worst comes to the
worst. With this intent, it is likely
that there would be fewer hasty mar
riages if there were fewer easy divorces.

ladies mentioned from point one half mile from
the shore of the lake. at about twelve O'Clock by his
time. which found to differ from mine by just seven
minutes. They travelled On foot to the water. thence
Mr.. Crpps rOwed one mile before he came in sight
of Mr.. Curtis canoe. Thinking ii II canoe that had
been airift dav or two before, he sailed to some
distance beyond IT, but finally concluded to return
and pick it up. II was then about half past 1t
must have been rs late as that for he lost time in
reaching the foot of the lake, nor did the steamer
lose any in returning and when the body had been
recovered, and the steamer started its return, |
looked at nv watch aud it was half past two. Sup
posing 1t to have been halt past one when the man
first reached the spot, that would allow one hour for
him to reach the foot of the lake Il miles, and the
steamer to return. Mr.. Heryey, who Is repairing
Mr.. Curtis watch, says that II must have stopped
within two minutes Of the time that he sank. As II
stopped at quarter before twelve. aud he WAS first
found ut half past one. he must have been in the
water one hour aud quarter.
