THE bill that they say Bismarck wishes to
make law doesn't seem to be so dreadful
after all. 1t simply authorizes the Reichstag
to discipline its members for unbecoming
language by reproof or. exclusion from the
floor. Most parliamentary bodies exercise
that privilege.

Governor meant to say 'nearlY tripled.n

WHAT TO DO.

For dust in the eyes. avoid rubbing,
dash water into them. Remove cinders,
cts, with round point of lead pencil.
Remove insects from the ear by tepid
water; never put hard instrument into
the ear.
IL an artery is cut, compress above the
wound; if vein is cut, compress below.
If choked, get upon ell fours and
cough.
For light buns, dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover with
varnish.
Smother a fire with carpet, ETC., water
will often spread burning oil and increase
the danger.
Before passing through smoke, take a
full breath, and then stoop low, but if
carbon is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poison wounds, unless your
mouth is sore: enlarge the wound, or
better, cut out the part without delay.
Hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne on hot coal, or end of cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting
by tickling the throat, or 10y water or
mustard. For acid poisonings, give
acids; in case of opium poisonings, give
strong coffee and keep moving.
If in water, float on the back with the
nose and mouth projecting.
For apoeplxy, raise the head and body,
for fainting, lay the person flat.

CHILD KILLED BY a PANTHER

4 shocking tragedy is reported to have
occurred near the Forrest Place, in st.
Mary's Parish, on Tuesday evening last.
A little before dark on that day, it seems,
a colored man and woman started to visit
q nelghbor some distance off, and small
boy of 1O years desired to accompany
them. On being prohibited from doing
SO, the little fellow waited until they had
started, when he followed them "irom
afar off. y The road he had to traverse
led through dense forest, near which is
thick cane-brake. When in the road
opposite this wood the boy was heard to
utter an agonizing cry for help, and on
the man returning part of his clothing
was found in the road, and track of
blood led toward the underground. The
man was too frightened to enter the for
est, but Immediately procured assistance,
and, upon entering the woods, a portion
of the skeleton of the unfortunate child
was found, bearing unmistakable signs
of having been mangled by .he jaws of
some powerful carrivorous animal. 1t
was supposed that panther had done
this horrible work, and a number of the
best dogs were put into the woods to
hunt it, but no intelligence of the chase
has reached lis. As is natural to sup
pose. great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood.-N. O. Dem.

". 2. Lewis, proprietor of the 'Gem
City" paper mills, has miniature zool-
ogical garden at his mills on East Water
street, and among the collection OF birds
beasts is diminutive bantam rooster
4 few days since tame crow, while tax
ing meditative walk, came in too close
proximity to a sly old fox that was feign-
,ing sleep near his den, where he is con-
fined by light chain. Reynard was
apparently oblivious to oil passing things,
but that crow has now learned that ap-
.pearances are very deceitful, and SO are
foxes. Before the crow was aware of
the danger the fox had seized it. Then
there was o loud ''caw, cav" and a flap
ping of wings, which attracted the at
ltention of the little bantam rooster. He
took in the situation at a glance, and at
aonce rushed to the rescue of his feather
ed companion. The plucky little rooster
flew into the face of the fox, struck hard
with wing and spur, and so worried the
fox that he dropped the crow and gave
ibis attention to the rooster, but his
ifeathered antagonist proved as agile as
he is brave, and so soon as he saw the
poor crow, minus few feathers, hop off
safely beyond the limits of Reynard' s
chain, he concluded the law of self-pre-
iservation was the next best thing in
order. so carried it into effect. The fox
then skulked into bis den.
