Success Of the san Jose Electric Light
 The Hoodwink of Night Removed. Correspondence San Luis obispo Tribune.
 Our tower-l light is at last perfected, ahd is grand success. Last Tues day night, at half-past six, the light was turned on. The evening was very dark, and the six bright lights, aggregating 24,000 candle power, flashing out, dissipated the darkness in twinkling, and beamed full upon the thousands of upturned and ex pectant faces, ranged for blocks in every direction, princlpally along Santa Clara and Market streets. The event has been very anxiously lock. ed for by its projectors and the pub lie, the portion interested, for months, and when the pure, white light flash ed out at last, amid the hush intense, as the moment neared that it was to be turned on, and all saw how effec- tually it lighted for blocks in every direction, universal

 went up, which, with the thought of success, must have filled the heart ol the projector to overhowing. The light is clear and white, though in tensely brilliant and piercing, is moi dazzling to look upon even at closo proximity. It throws a full moon light reflection for several hundred rods in all directions, and a half moonlight to half mile or more. At my home at Los Gatos bridge, one half a mile distant, could be read coarse print, and time by a watch could be distinctly told. In St James's park, three or four blocks away, the trees cast strong shadow and the light streamed through the trees as strongly and very much

PILES! PILES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found at Last-NO One
 Need Suffer!

A sure cure for blind, bleeding itch. ing and ulcerated piles has been discov- cred by Dr. William, Gan Indian remedy,) called Dr. Williams Indian Ointment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of 9 or 30 years standing. No one need suffer five minutes after applying this wonderful soothing medicine. Lo tions, instruments and electuaries do more harm than good. Williams Ointment ab- sorbs the tumors, allays the intense itch ing, particularly at night after getting warm in bed, acts as a poult:ce, gives in stant and painless relief and is prepared only for piles, itching of the private parts, and for nothing else.
 Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffin nberry, of Cleveland, says about Dr. Williams In dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores of Pile cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that have never found anything which gave me such immediate and per manent relief as Dr. Williams Indian Ointment.

The Lone star.
From the Alta California.


 MT. w. F. Grounds, the discoverer and one of the present owners of the celebrated Lone Star mine, near this town, gave us, one day this week, some beautiful speci- mems from that mine. The Lone Star is widely known, and though it is but par tially developed It has produced nearly $200,000. When we take into considera. tion the great disadvantages its owners have had to contend against, and the fact that the main shaft is only down about 250 feet, thls is pretty good showing Some of these days the Lone Star will sur prise the natives. Hon. Patrick Hamilton in his Resources of Arizona" mentions this mine first of all in MOhave county, and says: "The Lone Star has been worked to depth of 200 feet, and is opened by over 300 feet of levels. Il shows vein of rich ore over 10 inches in width that assays $150 per ton.

Poisoned in Pasture.

Mrs. L. Chapman writes OF "what IS
called 'milk-sick,'" prevalent in some
localities of Western North Carolina:
ssThe COWS are poisoned by something
they eat, but the curious phase OF the
case is, that, after careful examination
of the ground, nothing poisonous could
be discovered of a vegetable nature, and
when COWS are kept shutup till the dew
is off the grass, no injurious consequence
results. Persons drinking the milk or
eating the butter from COWS thus sick
receive the poison into their system fully
as badly as the COWS. From what does
the poison Gomez Can it be mineral
poison that this dew has the power to
extractP If remedies are not applied
soon the COWS die in great agony"
"Milk sickness " in COWS is caused by
their eating poisonous plants. Poisons,
like all medicines, and all substances
entering the stomach which can be taken
into the circulation, find their way out
of the system mostly through the large
glands liver, kidneys and mamma
~ glands. The latter being one of the
largest and most active, its secretions
get the largest share. All poisonous
plants affect milk in the same way, the
intensity of the effect varying with the
intensity of the poison each plant may
contain. Death is produced only when
the poison is very virulent. Milk sick
ness is not necessarily confined to one
plant. 1t may be produced by different
plants in different localities. Just what
causes the sickness in the above case
can not be told without special inves-
tigation. Cases of milk poisoning oc-
Cured in Pennsylvania few years ago
from poison hemlock (Conium macu-
latum) and from wild carrot Oancus
pusillus), but none of them were fatal.
1t may be something else in North Car
DINA. But the sickness is said to be
produced by something the cows get
while the dew is on. This is a common
occurrence with plant-poisoning. The
poison in many plants is very volatile
and escapes easily with the drying effects
of the wind and warm sunshine. The
cool night air and dampness of the dew
check its escape, and hence such plants
are the most poisonous in the morning
and also in wet weather. Wild parsnips
that can be handled with impunity in
the middle of the day become poisonous
when wet with dew or rain. Ivy and
many other plants are affected in the
same way. Milk sickness in Indiana,
which often proved fatal, was found to
be produced by poison weeds growing
only in swales and damp, shady places.
Such localities are much more likely to
produce poisonous vegetation than high
and dry land.-Prof L. B. arnold, IN N.
Y. Tribune. -.. e.,
