Guiteau ut the Jail.
The scene at the jail when the prisoner ar.
rived there was very quiet. The van, In charge
OF Lieut. Ecklofr, Detective McElfresh and Officer
Lewis, arrived at half past 10 o'clock: Gutteau,
who appeared to be in excellent Spirits walked
in with the officers. Gen. Croker. the warden,
is absent In New York, but Deputy Russ who
was in charge, received the party. The pris-
oner was taken into the waiting room, where
he was searched by the jail guards and his
shoes taken from him. BE said nothing to the
officers, except "Gen. Sherman viii be down
so0n." He was taken to cell In the south
wing. The proceeding was over so quick that
no one In the neighborhood OF the jail, except
the officers, knew that the man was there. The
crowd that had followed the van short dis
lance from the police headquarters was unable
to Keep pace with 1t. So the coming Of the
prisoner was unheralded.
FEARS OF LYNGHINa.
When reporters arrived at the jail door soon
afterwards the guards stoutly denied that the
man had been brought there. They feared
that some demonstration would be made
against the jail II the mans presence there was
known. Deputy Russ, who spent some time in
trying to convince q STAR reporter that the
man was not there, was finally forced to yield
the point.

can't even tell You where he Ia. Orders were
sent to Gen. COCKER from the Attorney General
not to let any one see him or speak to him,

Important information from a high au-
thority'' has been obtained by Herald corr
respondent concerning the makeup of
General Garield's Cabinet, which it is stated
is arranged as follows: For Secretary of
State, James G. Blaine, of Maine; for
Secretary of the Treasury, Charles
Folger, of New York; for Postmaster
General, Charles Foster, of Ohio; for
Secretary of the Navy, Nathan Goff,
jr., of West Virginia. The other three
members will be Horace Davis, of California,
James F. Wilson, of Iowa, and ex-senator
Howe, of Wisconsin. Probably, says the
correspondent, Howe will be Attorney Cen
eral, Wilson Secretary of the Interior, and
Davis Secretary of War. II anybody can get
any more information from any higher au-
thority let us have it. The time for such
revelations is short.

A little Oil City boy, whose father gave
him printing press the other day, has al

which surround the path of the printer. He

By some means this card became fastened to
his sisters hat, and hung just above her left
ear, where he who ran could read, and when
she went down street there was a grin ex-

The Venom of Serpents.

What a wonderful thing the venom of a
serpent is Chemical analysis fails to detect
anything in it to account for its action.
Water, a little albumen, some mineral salts
and traces of mucus, epithelial cells, ETC.,
Jumped together as f'extractive" Nothing
more-nothing specific about it at all.
Tasteless, colorless and inodorous, it may be
rubbed on the sound skin, or applied to the
eye or taken into the mouth without any
result whatever. The bites of different
kinds of snakes produce different effects
some act as depressant to the vascular sys-
tenn, some as a powerful narcotic, some cause
Inflammation of the spine, while others seem
to give rise to disorganization of the structur-
al constituents of the blood. All attend
ed more or less with rigors, ,delirium, ,syncope,
convulsions, paralysis and coma Whether the
poison of any two or more species are iden-
icaI do not know-it seems probable but
in the five species with which have expert
mented on myself, SO far l have found five
distinct and separate venoms. I imagine,
for instance, that the rattlesnake and copper
head will prove to possess the same, and per-
haps several of the viperine snakes I hope
SO. Some of these fluids are very unstable,
and decompose if kept only a short time or
if their specific gravity is disturbed, while
others retain their deadly properties even
when dried. That of the common French
viper (vipera aspis) may be diluted down till
it forms mere local irritant. No true anti
dote has ever been discovered for the bite of
any snake, and the search for something
which shall be an antidote against the bite of
all appears to me to be irrational in the ex-
treme, seeing that there are many differ
ent poisons, producing in many cases oppo-
site effects One might as well expect to find
general antidote for opium, belladonna,
strychnine, arsenic and mercury poisoning.
The action of ammonia upon which SO much
stress has been laid, is probably nothing
more than that of strong stimulant; GER
tainly its action in maintaining the fiuidity of
the blood is quite hypothetical seeing that
premature eoagulation of the fbrine has
never been actually demonstrated Indeed,
it is said that at the autopsy of the keeper
Girling, bitten many years ago by cobra de
capello at the Gardens, tho blood formed no
clot at all, but was found permanently fluid
in al the great vessels.
