Debauchery and Imprisonment
While Terr0rized by Her
Seducer.

For several days the city papers have been
mentioning in a rather mysterious way the
presence in The city Of "a man from Oxford"
1.-THE woman from Grenada" and "a girl at
the Mission Home" The supposition was
that "a man from Oxford" had induced ''the
woman from Grenada" 10 see the girl at the
Mission Home" and persuade her to leave
that quiet retreat, and get herself into the
power of ga man from Oxford" who would
see that she did not give testimony in Ger
tain case for seduction. A party who knows
something about it, suggested to us that there
was connected with these mysterious parties
q story OF crime and debauchery that ought
to be made public. This reporter was told
to hunt up that story and report 1t just as
he got it. Going TO the chief OF police, the
reporter inquired what he knew about the

Animal Venom.

Recent Investigations have established the
fact, that the venom of -erpents is not an ex-
ceptional and anomalous product, but mere
ly an intensified condition of ordinary saliva,
and it is still more remarkable to find that q
modification of saliva, even in human beings,
may constitute virulent poison. There are
many well authenticated instances Of death
resulting from the bites of animals not or
diDarily considered venomous--cats, for in
stance; and instances have been known in
which a bite from human being has been
followed by death from poisoning, just as
would have been the case with some venomous
reptile. Violent agitation, it has been OBJ
served seems to impart this fatal quality to
the saliva of men or animals, and NJ. Pasteur
has recently cultivated the poison Of the
human saliva to such point as to develop
the toxic symptoms of the serpent-poisons in
small birds. Even in its normal condition
saliva is said to be akin to poison, one of its
functions being to destroy the molecular life
Of the substances eaten. Ii is thought that
all violent agitato and exertion involve an
abnormal waste of tissue and an excessive
production of the principle which renders
saliva poisonous.

The Coronation Of The Gar.

The position of pauper is not very pleas
ant OF profitable, but it is infinitely prefer
able to that of Gar of Russia in these days
of dynamite and assassination. The most
miserable of tfe Nihilists is happy and for
tnnate in comparison with the autocrat of the
Russias. On the death of his father he as
sumed the supreme authority, but he has not
received the ceremony of coronation which
gives him divine right, and which must take
place at Moscow To be crowned the Car
must in some way be transported from st.
Petersburg to Moscow. This would be very
simple matter for Nihilist or any private
person, but for the Gar it is a thousand
times more dangerous than for the soldier
who goes into battle. If he goes on the rail-
road, the chances are that the train will be
blown up by the Nihilists and that many in
nocent persons will perish with the Gar
The attempts previously made have led to
change of plan for the journey. and so the
autocrat is to ride in a carriage over the
country road, with powerful guard and with
every possible precaution, just as Guiteau,
the assassin, was taken between the Wash
ingtUn Jail ard the court room. In the old
times when monarchy was popular, a corona
tion was an occasion of rejoicing, "The
king is dead; long live the king" was cry
which came from the hearts of the people.
but the spectacle of an absolute monarch
stealing from his new to the ancient capital
to take part in a ceremony which has lost its
meaning, fearful Of his life at every step, is q
contrast suggestive of the nearness of the
end of absoutism in Russia, and every where
in Europe. II is not the pomp Of coronation
Of a proud monarch, but the humiiating
spectacle of the dead past trying to thrust it.

Phenomena Of Death.

| To be shot dead is one of the easiest modes
| of terminating life. Yet, rapid AS it is, the
victim has leisure to feel and time to reflect.
On the first attempt by one of the frantic ad-
herents of Spain to assassinate William,
| Prince of Orange, who took the lead in the
revolt of the Netherlands, the ball passed
through the bones of his face, and brought
him to the ground. In the instant that pre-
ceded stupefaction, he was able to frame the
notion that the ceiling of the room had fallen
in and crushed him. The cannon.shot which
plunged into the brain of Charles MI did
not prevent him from seizing his sword by
the hit. The idea of an attack. and the ne
cessity for defence, was impressed upon him
| by blow which we should have supposed too
tremendous To leave an interval for thought
| But il by no means follows that the infiiction
| Of fatal violence is accompanied by pang
| From what is known of the first effect Of gun
shot wounds, it is probable that the impress
sion is rather stunning than acute. Unless
| death be immediate. the pain is AS varied as
the nature of the injuries. and these are past
counting up. Bu, there is nothing singular in
the dying sensations. though Lord Byron re-
marked the physiological popularity that the
expression is invariably that of languor, while
in death from stab the countenance reflects
the traits of natural character--of gentleness
or terocity-to the last breath.
Some of these cases are of interest, To
show with what slight disturbance life may
go on under mortal wound. until it suddenly
comes TO u final stop. A foot-soldier at
Waterloo, pierced by a musket-ban in the
hip, begged water from a trooper who hap
pened TO possess canteen of beer. The
wounded man drank returned his heartiest
thanks, mentioned that his regiment was near.
ly eXterminated. and, having proceeded
dozen yards on his way to the rear, fell to the
earth and, with one convulsive movement of
his limbs, concluded his career. "Yet his
voice, says the trooper, who himself told the
story, gave scarcely the smallest sign of
weakness"
