FATAL DOSE OF OPIUM BY MIsTAKE.-On Fri
day Mrs. Roetker, who lay Ill at 3O1 west oath
street, hearing her 16-month-old babe Henrietta
cough, and being unable to attend to her her
self, ordered ANNIE the servant, to give her a
dose of cough mixture. The servant was not
within hearing, and Mrs. Rockers 4-year-Old
daughter, Annie. supposed the order was to her.
AS she was not tall enough to reach the shelf on
which was the cough mixture, she asked sister
of the servant to get the medicine for her. There
were two bottles on the shelf, side by side, and
the one little Annie pointed out as containing
the cough mixture, contained tincture OF opium.
A teaspOonful of 1t was given to the baby, who
soon showed symptoms of poisoning. Three
physicians were summoned, and they labored
for eight hours over the child, but failed to save
her.-N. Y. Sun, 24th.

NJ. DE LEssEPs, wife and three children arrived
in New York yesterday morning, on the steamer
Colon, from the Isthmus OF Panama They took
quarters in the Windsor Hotel, where NJ. de
Lesseps received calls from a number Of promi-
nent persons. After remaining in New York
five days he will come to Washington, and go
hence to San Francisco. M. de LeSSeps stated
yesterday afternoon that there was no secret
understanding between England, France and
Germany in relation to the projected canal.
Even the idea of such thing was too absurd to
think about. His mission here was to make
known what had already had been done. He
had nothing to hide In regard to the scheme;
everything In relation to it was open. He did
not seek government or legislative aid, and
would not go before Congress. Referring to the
Monroe doctrine, NJ. de LeSSepS said nobody
must try to combat it, for in it lies the safety of
the American people. He intended to make
arrangements for syndicate to sell bonds in
the United States, as there are no popular SUBJ
scriptlonS here. He intended to Offer ever one
half of the subscriptions in America. There
would not be over 1920, 900, 900 bonds issued. He
also proposed, at cost of 100000, 900 francs. to
build in the valleys OF the ChagreS and Rio
Grande a bridge dam.

MONSIEUR DIX MINUTEs.-A Gaulois reporter
publishes report of an interview with the ex-
says that the Empress, referring to the advice
she had received not to go to Zululand, said her
mind was made up and that there was no argu
ing with a sentiment. Then she spoke with
burning indignation against Captain Carey.
The only thing which seemed to her credible in
captain Carey's account of the catastrophe was
that the Prince asked for ten minutes time be-
fore getting on horseback to go away. 1t was
habit of his from his earliest infancy to ask for
ten minutes. He was nicknamed in the nursery
Monsieur Dix Minutes He would often in bed
put up his little fingers, count the ten and ask
for ten minutes before he got up. The moral OF
the GaulOis account is that Captain Carey was
bound In all chivalry to sacrifice himself and
the British soldiers with him out of Difference to

OF perjury. Wells became connected with a
wandering temperance lecturer named Bacon,
who was shut out OF the churchsS in Hannibal,

Then he put up tent, which was taken down

was instituted to recover the value OF the tent,
and Wells swore that he owned a sixth or sew
enth OF it, He has been tried since by council

SPoTs ON THE sUN.-A large spot, which
very keen eye might be able to distinguish with
out other assistance than screen Of smoked
glass, is now visible nearthe eastern edge of
the SUMS disk. Any good spyglass will show 1t
we'll, but care should be taken to protect the
eye with a deeply colored glass held firmly
against the eyeptece. A smoked glass screen
gives pleasant view, but is dangerous because
the sooty deposit is apt to get rubbed off. The
combination Of green glass with red one Is
best, as it allows little heat to reach the eye,
and shows the suns disk free from annoying
discoloration. An astronomical telescope shows,
in addition to the great spot, scattered, double
cluster OF small spots between it and the edge.
The disk is marked. in the neighborhood Of The
spots, with the bright ridges called faculg,
which look like crinkled veins of light on the
surface of the sun. The great spot is very
perfect specimen of its class, the vast, cavern
Gus hole in the center, large enough probably
for the earth to drop through. and with broken
and jagged edges, looking almost black, with a
slight tinge of purple Near one end vein Of
light projects partly across the gulf and beyond
that the black center breaks through the whit
1sh border. The penumbra surrounding the
black portion is broad and well marked, of a
grayiSh color and bordered with lighter streaks.
