ONE night last week after Il meet
ing of the military officers with
Gov. Blackburn to discuss means by
which kentucky could be repreSen-
ted at the coming centennial, at
Yorktown, certain of the Legion
boys announced to some of their
young lady friends that was good
prospect of Louisville's sending
three or four companies. Said one
of the misses:
"Where is Yorktown ?"
Cup in Ohio" answered a militia
man, who supposed he was being
quizzed.
"And what are they going to eel
ebrate?' was the next question.
Laboring under the impression
that he was being jOked, the young
man replied:
1.-The battle of Bunker HILL"
"Oh! yes; / remember now"
calculated the lady. THAT'S the
place where Stonewall jackson and
Gen. Pat. Thomas made ole Bull
Run surrender to the Confederacy.
Oh L would like so much to be
there and see John Morgan and the
rest of them"
She ought to go.--lStnldGy Argus.

The Place TO Go.
Carson New, Appeal.

A few days ago a lot of Carson
youngsters were discussing where
would be the best place to steal wat
ermelOns.
"I'll tell We the place to go; up to
old. He don't advertise in any
of the papers or even take one, and
where man don't show any enter
prise you may be sure there is five
or six holes in his fence; he's too
stingy to keep dog, and it's two
to one his shotgun hasn't been load
ed for over a year"
Tho boys thought the idea an eX-
cellent one and invaded the lot only
to discover that the man had been
too slow to plant any melons and
there wasn't thing in the whole
lot except a clump of sage brush and
few mullen stalks.

At a colored baptising near Mil.
ton, last week, the preacher was
talking about John the Baptist in
the wilderness. He said there was
differnce between the locusts and
the locusses. "The locust was
these little pods that growed ON
trees, but the locusSes was living
insects, and, tharfore, John the
Baptist lived on living insects, and
the honey was called wild because
the bees that made it was wild. F"
His calculation of the subject was
attentively received.

Deadly Face Powder.

A recent New York telegram SAYS
Miss Fannie j. Blanchard, aged "a,
native of Buffalo, died Yesterday at 2lt
West Fifteenth Street, from lead poison
ing, the effect of the excessive use OF
cosmetics containing white lead. A
diagnosis of the case was made by DR.
Hammond, who pronounced the cause
of death to be lead poisoning. While
unwilling to talk to reporter about this
particular case, or any case which in
volved his relation as physician to a
patient, he was not averse to state his
views on the dangers attendant upon the
use of cosmetics. "Lead poisoning,
he said, "occurs more frequently thar
is generally thought. The public rarely
hear of such cases. 1t is only once in
while that cases like that of Miss Blanch
ard attract the attention of. the public
outside of the medical profession. The
use of any kind of cosmetics, even if moi
habitually INDUCED in, is attended with
danger. There are very few, if any, tina
do not contain white lead. This poison
is used in the manufacture of face pow
ders, washes and hair dyes. Minute
particles enter the skin and are taken
up by the blood and communicated to
the system. 1t produces various effects
paralysis, collie, prostration of the nerv-
Gus system and insanity are among the
most frequent results of its introduction
into the system. A very distressing case
came under my notice few years ago
in the wife of the Governor of one of the
Western States. She had been in the
habit of using certain hair dye, | for
get the name at the present moment
which contained white lead in large
proportion. She became hopelessly in
sane, and death ensued finally. Another
case was that of a young lady who used
a so-called Bloom of Youth In thi,
case paralysis preceded death. Ladies
using cosmetics can not be warned
enough of the danger which they incu
by their use. They are always in
furious, and they are rarely used with
impunity."

Poisoned in Pasture.

Mrs. L. Chapman writes of "what is
called 'milk-sick,'" prevalent in some
localities of Western North Carolina:
"The 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, aud
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 a mineral
poison that this dew has the power to
extractP If remedies are not applied
soon the COWS die in great agony"
"Mlk 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-the liver, kidneys and mamma
ry 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 a few years ago
from poison hemlock (Conium macu-
latum) and from wild carrot (Dancus
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
occurrence with plant-poisoning. The
poison in many plants is very volatile
and escapes ca sily with the drying effects
of the wind and warm stnshine. The
cool night air and dampness of the deg
tcheck 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 ia
produce poisonous vegetation than high
and dry land.-Pr0f, L. B. Arnold, IN N,

Brigandage in Turkey.

The unpleasant adventures of Mr.. Su
er have, it is feared, come to sad con.
clusion. He was an Englishman, con.
nected with mine near Salonica, which
was threatened by brigands. A guard
of soldiers was offered to him and &C
cepted but one night sixty-three brig
ands attacked his house. The soldiers,
on awakening, fired at the brigands in
the house, but Mr.. Suter interposed to
prevent further loss of life, and was &C
cordingly carried off with his family and
servants. Mrs. Suter was sent back to
arrange for his ransom, which was sci
at S75, 900. When the news reached
England, Mr.. Goschen informed the
Porte that it would be held responsible
for the safety of the captive and the
amount of the ransom. Troops and
gunboats were therefore at once sent
against the brigands, and now, accord
ing to the cable dispatches, a bark, sup
posed TO be filled with the brigands, has
been pursued and sunk. 1t is feared
that Mr.. Suter was on board, and sank
with his captors. 1t would seem, then
that the Porte, in the effort to discharge
its responsibility for his safety, may have
destroyed him. This might raise {
fresh question as to what the Porte il
now to be held liable for. The facttha
Mr.. Suter refused to abandon the mine
when warned of its peril, and that /
guard of soldiers, supposed to be sufii
cient, was furnished him, and final,
that the attack on the brigands was sus
pended by his orders, might 60 to SHOW
that the Porte had been held to yer,
strict accountability in afterward bein.
made liable for his safe return and hi
ransom. The additional question arises
whether the best means were taken TO
insuring this safe return; though it vii
hardly be pretended that Government
should compound with felons for a ran
som. There is still the chance that MI
Suter was not on the sunk bark and
is not absolutely impossible that tn
whole story of the sinking may b
