party Of gentlemen from the north who
were out shooting, l lost my leg, which
ended my part of the trip. So wait

carbolio Acid in pintharia

DIR. Il. t. Magill, of Lincoln, Mis-
souri,, contributes to the Chicago
Medical Journal the method OF
treating diptheria from which he
has secured better results than from
any other. He uses an ordinary
hose, from three to five feet long
and about one inch in diameter.
One end is placed over the spout of
a common tea-kettle, into which has
been put half a gallon of water and
half an ounce of carbolic acid. The
kettle is then placed on the stove,
over a good fire, and when the water
reaches the boiling point, the free
end of the hose is carried under a
blanket thrown over the patients
head. The room must be closed.
In a short time the patient will per
spire freely. If persevered in at
short intervals, breathing becomes
softer, and presently, after success
sion of quick expulsive efforts, the
patient throws off coat or tube of
false membrane. The acid vapor
seems to prevent the reformation of
emulation. Alcohol an d sulphate.
of quinine are used in conjunction
with the acid for their supporting
prOperties.

a A TRICK.
ks0w Cinnamon Make Money by
Mutilating Coins,

Cinnamon have been caught at various
times in mqltilating. gold Land ilxer coins
OF the United States. Their ingenuity has
suggested to them several ways Of perform
ing the job SO as to make something by
the mutilation, and also to leave the money
pieces looking like genuine. An entirely
new scheme of theirs has come to our
knowledge recently. They get a sort Of
sack or pocket apparatus made. into which
they throw a number of coins. By alter
nately raising one end of this sack and
lowering the other a constant friction is
kept up between the sides of the sack and
the coins, and also among the coins them
selves. This pocket or sack apparatus is
made of the thickest, strongest %ducking,
from which two pieces are cut between
three and four inches wide and a yard and
a half long. The edges Of these pieces are
sewed down with three rows of very strong
thread. 1t can be readily understood how
easy in this way it would be to rub off
from, say, a double handful of pieces either
gold or silver, a considerable quantity Of
these precious metals which would be left
deposited in the sack after the coins were
taken out. The Cinnamon have been seen
at work with the canvas sacks turning
them vigorously up and down for a long
while, and they have been asked what they
were about. They have invariably replied
that they were Frightening up the little
brass pieces that they use in gambling, SO
as to be able to see the numbers Of them
better. This story of theirs is not credit
ed, because there seems to be too much of
this polishing going on for such a purpose.
Father Hines says that he makes two sacks
for them of the sort described every month.
Every one that has looked closely at the
coins that he has seen passing from hand
to hand has noticed how much and singu-
larly some OF them are worn-that they
are not abraded in such a manner as would
be expected from the friction they sustain
in ordinary nsa.

taxes. One cried out: "Me nc pay; me
over 81; too muohee old" The other
said. "Me no 81, too muchee young; no

jeoks Of the officer they both threw up
their hands, one of them solemnly saying
"Me swear allie same in Clourt." the other
adding, "Me Clistian Chinaman, no telle

going aboard the train. A reporter who
witnessed the colloquy inquired if such
things often happened. ooh, yes" was
the reply, sail of them are either 10 or IT,"

The Lander Free Press of the 9Th says
About 10 o'clock last night three distinct
pistol shots were heard on Front street,
and Immediately afterwards a loud cry
proclaimed the fact that some one had
been shot. 1t proved to be S. Strong, the
night Waterman, and the shooter, he says,
was 7. E. Lee. No one saw the shooting
as it occurred in the middle of the street,
and at a time when very few people were
on the street. Mr.. Strong says he was
crossing the street from the Capitol Hotel,
and when nearly opposite the Gold Note
Saloon he met q man coming from the
other side of the street. AS they passed
each other the man said GOOD evening""
Strong answered Good evening, who are
your" The man Immediately turned and
fired three shots rapidly, at the same time
saying, "My names Lee, you old s. of a
b" then wheeled and ran toward the
G. P. water tank. Strong managed to
make his way to the Gold Note Saloon,
from which place he was helped home.
DR.. Banks was called, and found that two
of the shots had taken effect, n striking
him in the left side, about two inches
above the hip, and coming out at his back,
and the other hitting him in the right
groin, coursing inward and to the left,
making u serious if not fatal wound. Lee
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Dunlap
shortly afterward at Mr.. Dusang's house,
where his family were stopping at the time,
and taken to Jail. No weapon of any kind
was found upon his person, except a com
mon pocket-knife. Lee and Strong have
had some trouble lately in regard to a
house, which is supposed to have caused
the shooting. Lee makes no statement at
present,

Some Humorous Correspondence
Between the Two Friends.
virginia Enterprise.

Virginia LutclPIlSc.
The Hon. S. S. Cox and ex-Congressman
Daggett seem to be having a great deal Of
quiet fun with each other. There is a
marked sub-stratum of poetry as well as
humor in Cox, and many years ago he re-
ceived the title Of "Sunset Cox" through
the gorgeous and horid description of q
sunset scene published in the Ohio State
Journal, with which he was then connected
as associate editor. 1t has lately been ex-
tensively republished in explanation Of
the manner in which he was awarded the
prefix of 'Sunset," and he laughs heartily
over this rhetorical freak Of his early days
in journalism. In the Enterprise of three
weeks ago was published a poem by Mr..
Daggett, descriptive of a sunset in Ne
vada. He sent a copy to Mr.. Cox, with
an apology for having trespassed upon his
peculiar poetic domain, and the latter
''comes back" as follows:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, April s, 1882.
DEAR DAGGETT: l knew that sunsets
were not limited to Ohio, and that the
further west you go, the more set in his
ways and beams he becomes. You have

exquisite vesifcation.

the palm. If 1 could make my pet name
negotiable, I would transfer it without re-
course to the ex-member from "Nevada's
hammered peaks" I would have been
pleased with the dedication Of that poem
to myself, except that it might be consid-
cred by some as a mask Of Momus over the
face Of the sweetest Muse of the Ninel

BOOK.
He Prefers Glory in June to Auburn
for Life.

The book upon which Guiseau has been
engaged during his imprisonment has
just been printed and copies have been
sent to the leading journals for review. 1t
is entitled "Truth and Removal" The
New York Herald thus briefly summarizes
its contents:
The first part is a reprint Of the theo-
logical argument published by Guiteau
some years since upon the second coming
Of Christ. The second part is a summary
aud IL review Of the recent trial, inter-
spersed with quotations from newspapers.
In an appendix are collected fifty or sixty
letters Of sympathy, which the author says
he has received, including more than thirty
pages of communications from one young
lady in New York City, which bear various
dates from December 26 to the day of the
prisoners conviction. In the preface to the
second part of his book, which bears
the date of March IA the author says: eff
all other remedies fail, I shall boldly ap-
peal to the President under my W hand"
Referring to his crime, he says: 81 spit
on adverse opinion on this subject. l say
I am right. Garfield ought to have been
removed, and I was Gods mar to do it.
If 1 am murdered on the gallows this ma
ton and the officials will pay we'll for it.

lets up on them. I had rather go to glory
in June than to Auburn for life"

A glance at the foregoing list shows that
gold is no longer the type of extreme
preciousness in the metallic world. While
gold is worth a few hundred dollars a
pound, many other metals run into the
thousands, and some day when such cur

of speech relating to value may undergo
some changes; for instance, we may some
day use chromium as a unit of precious
