State in the Union with constitution and

church is supreme and its practices are fol-
lowed, the laws and courts of the United
States to the contrary.

A Wife's Terrible Mistake.

Rev. James Cameron, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, Oakland, was accident
ally poisoned yesterday afternoon by a dose
of carbolic acid, administered in mistake by
his wife. He resided with his wife at the
house of DIR. Barber, Oakland and he was be-
ing treated by DIR. Barber. An operation had
been performed on his foot on Monday, and
he was using carbOic wash for the wound.
He was also taking tonic digestive medicine.
A few minutes after four O'Clock Yesterday
afternoon Mrs Cameron was reminded 10y DR..
Barber that the patient had not taken his
medicine. She went into the back room
where the medicine was kept. The room was
somewhat dark, the blinds being drawn down,
and Mrs. Cameron took bottle off the man
tel not noticing any other, or thinking OF any
other, and filled out dose in a wine glass
She brought it to him and he drank oil about
half Of it, and then stopped, saying: at
tastes very strong Is there anything in
itP' Then he swallowed the remainder of the
dose. Mrs Barber said: "Could it be any.
thing else!" Then Mrs. Cameron perceived
the odor of carbolic acid, and remembered
that the bottle of carbolic acid was also on the
mantel. She whispered her suspicious to Dr.
Barber, who quickly obtained an emetic and
ordered an antidote to follow. The emetic
would not work, as he could not swallow,
but they forced down as much magnesa and
oil as they could. Dr. Wythe and DIR. Buck
were sent for, but too late to be Of any as.
sistance, as he died in a few minutes after.
The bottle which contained the tonic mkt
ure hypophosphites which Mr.. Cameron was
taking was high -shouldered medicine bottle,
about three sizes larger than the carbollc acid
bottle, and both were labeled, but Mrs Cam
eron had not been in the habit Of giving her
husband his medicine Mr.. Cameron was q
native OF Greenock, Scotland, and was sixty
four years Of age.-.SdH Francisco Bulletin.

The Worlds Coal Bins.

The entire production of coal in
Great Britain last year was 154, 900, 000
tons.
The Wyoming Territory coal fields
cover a wider area than the whole State
of Pennsylvania.
Bituminous coal in veins seven feet in
thickness has been discovered in Ross
County, Ohio.
In the last ten years the production
of coal in the Southern States has been
more than doubled.
All the coal used in China has hereto.
fore been imported, but good paying
mines have lately. been opened near
Pekin.
But twice since 1866 have the wages
of miners in the Cumberland region
been reduced. The present strike is
against reduction of fifteen cents on
every ton mined.
No special effort has yet been made to
develop the Texas coal lands, which
embrace 30, 900 square miles, and con-
tain many veins that are twenty feet
thick. The coal is very rich in oils.
In the United States 1877 ,030 men are
employed in mining coal, while the
total amount of invested capital in coal
mining is S256, 500, 1878. The total out
put of coal last year exceeded that of
the previous year by more than 10, OOO,-
600 tons.

A Cruel Tax.

1t has been suggested that the tedious
and narrowing process of pinioning a
culprit about to be executed could be
effectively performed in moment by
slipping over the prisoners head and
over his body and arms very strong,
elastic jersey. The writer of a paragraph
in the 81. Jdnles'S Gazette contrived to
have himself put through the pinioning
process at Newgate. "All that Is done
to man," he writes, ''from the time
the gaolers enter the condemned cell to
the time he is led out to the scaffold, the
present writer went through; and he
found that the pinioning was as cruelty
elaborate and slow as he had fancied it
must be. A belt deliberately buckled
round the waist; straps carried over the
shoulders and across the back, with
more tedious buckling; first one hand
and then the other confined to the waist
belt by other little straps, and yet more
tedious buckling. A handy groom
would not take longer time to harness
pony than it takes the gaoler to truss
man for execution. 1t 10 altogether a
needlessly cruel tax upon the nerves of
a man i'll such a situation.

The Culture OF Corn.

The following in reference to methods
of the culture of corn, whether in hills
or drills, distance, thickness of stand, is
from the Home Farm.
"When corn alone is to be grown,
drill culture is decidedly the most profit
able, and in my practice the drills are
placed 3! feet apart for all varieties.
The dwarf sorts such as Early Boynton,
Narragansettand Minnesota, are thinned
to or inches apart in the drills, and
the taller varieties from to II inches,
according to variety and richness of
soil. In planting sweet corn on green
sward, | prefer to have heavy dressing
of unfermented manure spread broad
cast and turned under Immediately be-
fore planting, blowing just deep enough
to give two or three inches of soil for a
seed bed without disturbing the sod,
and applying 600 to 1000 pounds of
some rich fertilizer broadcast and in the
drills"

Starting a Town.

Out at Wood River three men last
February located a valuable town site
between some hills covered with quartz
lodges claimed by others. 1t was APP
parently the only level place in the vi
entity, but covered with snow. They
knew that other parties, recognizing
its Importance, wanted to jump it, so
they built them camp on the top of
the snow and waited for it to melt off.
As the snow melted they settled down
with it about eighty feet, until the sides
of the hills gaining toward them, and
points of the rocks appearing through
the snow, showed them that they were
getting down into the bed of steep
rocky ravine, with moi an inch of level
to it. Last week they relocated it as q
mill site.-SdH Late Tribune.
