idea how the deadly habit Of arsenic
eating is spreading. In every city its
devotees are numbered by hundr eds,
and very seldom afbusband who prides
himself on his wife's beautiful COM

pale forehead of his daughter, or the
lover who is both proud and anxious
over his sweetheart's transparent skin,
dreams that it is an unnatural effect.
produced by ., poison that, if it's use is
persisted in, will result in death. = In
their habitual use OF arsenic many
women in. the best families in the land
are committing slow suicide. The drug
is usually taken in small doses, occa-
sionally pure, but generally id some
solution. For a few months, some
times for a year, there is,no apparent
effect from its use, but shortly there
after the beautiful ipallor, that is so
striking, is produced. In a few years

pondent, writing under date Of July
10th, says the friends Of Conkling still
hold the key to the situation. The have
tweDty-nine votes, and go long Us they
can hold them no other republican can
be elected unless the democrats. by re-
naming away, furnish an opportunity.
This correspondent saws that the fine
record they have made in the contest
thus far, which drew from Speaker
Sharpe and Senator Halbert words of
praise in their speeches Saturday, they
are not likely to destroy now by any
such suicidal course. How much longer
tho struggle will continue no man can
tell. If Conkling will consent to name
some man beside himself to succeed
himself Lapham can be defeated before
the middle Of next week. That the rank
and file of his supporters are willing TO
desert him upon such compromise is
beyond question. If not, then so long
as his twenty-nine men stand firm, or
even twenty-six of them, he may conti-
nue. to struggle all summer. or until the
final adjournment of the legislature, or
until the half breed leaders will consent
to calling regular caucus.
