The Virginia Chronicle says rancher
from Carson river makes the statement
that Indians who sell quail in this city
kill the birds with poisoned wheat pre-.
pared by themselves. He says the In
dams procure the poison from Italians
living on ranches near the river. A
great many people who pretend to be
authority ON such subjects, say that the
poison administered does not affect the
meat OF the bird in the least, but most
people prefer to eat birds killed in some
other manner. We say they should never
have the benefit of trial or doubt, but be
shot by any white man who could detect
them in the act.

As to mimicry, the giraffe has the most
astonishing power OF any animal, says
DIR. III. w. Mitchell. Inhabiting as it
does the forests of Africa and feeding
upon the bougiis OF trees, its great size
makes it most conspicuous object. Its
most dreaded enemies are the stealthy
lion and man. In the regions it most
frequents are many dead and blasted
trunks of trees, and its mimicry is such
that the most practiced eye has failed to
distinguish giraffe from tree trunk or a
tree trunk from giraffe. 1t has even
been said that lion has looked long and
earnestly at giraffe, in doubt whether
it was q tree or not, and then skulked

ALPHABETICAL, FLA, November IA few
months ago two negroes named Harrison
Thomas and Charles Bedford obtained employ

the camp for few days, and when he returned
Belford was missing. Thomas professed gno-
rance rs 10 his " hercabous. A few weeks later
a blcachrd skeleton WAS discovered in IL small
pond near The camp. 1t was identified a. that
Of Beliurd, Thomas missing companion. The
murtlercls trial has just been completed and
furnishes one of the most astounding chapters in
criminal history. Thomas confessed that he
dealt Bclford a blow on the back of The head
with an axe, nearly cleaving the skull in twain
He then hiiched yoke Of oxen to the murdered
mans bleeding body, and thus had il dragged
into The pond for hiding. He intended to dccip-
tate his victim hut HE lrtcr stirred as The axe
was descending The wo men had married sis
tiers, and Thomas thought that it he killed his
brother in-law both women would live with
him. The most astounding part OF the confess
sion is yet 10 come, however For years the
county had been The scene OF murders which
were 80 mystcriOusly executed that their perpc-
traitor was not detected. Thomas story uncoaks
them all When the prisoner WAS ~ years of
age his mother left him one day in charge Of his
younger brother while she went to a nrighbnr
ing plantation to work. Nexed by the childs
persistent crying, Thomas beat out its brains
with a billet Of wood aud cremated the body in
IN open fireplace on pie OF blaHing logs.
When the mother returned and inquired after
the child'S whereabouts the Young murderer
pointed 10 The sckening and odOritcrous sight in
The fireplace and said There is the Id son
of b.. He bothered me and killed him and
threw him into the fire" The mother tainted,
but parental love saved the criminal by hiding
the crime.
In 1873 Thomas literally cut Enoch Dawson,
another colored man, into bits with a knife, and
narrowly pScanp1 hanging for This crime He
was arrested and tried, but, through the shrewd-
OF his lawyer he was acquitted. Several
other murders are also laid ut his door In
1878 he chopped off mans arm, and. though
the victim is still living, Thomas escaped pun
