Something New and Interesting.

After the list day Of March, 1888, Collector
Buford will, we understand, publish the
names Of all people on the Personal Delin-
q,tent list, with the amounts severally due
from them. This is a new departure, and,we
believe, good one. Those who pay their
taxes have right to know who are the
shirkers-who the spougers upon the COM
munity. II there be any of those now delin-
quent who don't want their names to APP
pear among the ''lame ducks" they had bet
ter march up without delay to the captains
office, or March will catch them with their
accounts unsettled. We do not know that
this is to be done by order of the court, but
presume Jim is going according to ;nstruc-
TONS.

TO DELINQUENT TaI.PaYers.

Collector Buford desires us to remind the
public that his term of office is fast drawing
to a close, and that the Court will require
clean books from him. Delinquents must
pay up, or suffer the consequences. We
have heard that in some parts of the
county sub-collectors are at work, and that
seizures for taxes have been made in several
instances. The Collector no doubt regrets to
resort to extreme measures, but he has his
duty to perform, and he can't get out of it.
Let all delinquentS take warming, and by
prompt payment avoid trouble and expense.

Thunderstorms in winter are not common
occurrences; but when they do prevail they
seem to be unusually destructive. During
the slcet storm of last Saturday week, two
persons in adjoining counties were killed by
lightning-Miss Alice Carr, of Crawford,
and Mr.. Dority, Of st. Francois. The bolt
which killed Miss Alice Carr went down the
chimney of her fathers house, stunned other
members Of the family and nearly demol-
ished everything in the room. That which
killed Mr.. Dority went down the chimney Of
calcine furnace at the Desloge works just
as he opened the furnace door. On the fol-
lowing Tuesday, in several other parts of the
State, people were severely stunned by light
ming coming down their chimneys during the
storm, but no fatal accidents of the kind are
reported on that day.

Inc Clionian met again Monday evening as
usual after meeting for several weeks past at
irregular intervals. Characters and events
OF Henry Wills reign are being discussed,
and as so much of great interest TRANSFERRED
throughout Europe about this time, the era
will not be passed over in haste, even though
there is perhaps As much, If not more, to
horrify and disgust one with the temper
with which the reformation was carried on,
than there is to admire.
Sir Thomas Moore, his Utopia, whether he
practised what he preached, Anne Boleyn,
her influence and tragic end, and Jane Sey-
mour, the real though not nominal cause of
Anne's fate, were the topics last considered.
These are to be followed by Lambert, Henry's
last three wives, the fate of the monasteries,
and search for what was good in Henry's
character. Perhaps also continuance of
the discussion as to whether he was the rock
upon which the Episcopal Church is found

Cannibalism in Russia.

The TerSktja VedomoSti reports a
case which shows that the supersti-
tion attributing magical power to the
eating of human flesh is not confined
to the Australian aborigines In the
graveyard of the village of Naurusow,
in the Naltshik district, the police no
ticed that the grave of recently
buried child was much disturbed. Sus-
picion fell on a man reputed TO be a
sorcerer. His hut was searched, and
he was found sitting at the fire, on
which was il pot simmering. He re-
frs ID to answer any questions, but, on
the adjoining bedroom being examined,
large portion of the body of the
missing child was found hanging from
a hook, and in n corner of the room
were the skulls of several children.
The wretch, upon being interrogated
as to where was the remaining portion
of the child's body, pointed silently to
the pot. His daughter, a miserable,
starved girl, admitted, on eXamina-
ton, that the father used regularly to
steal the bodies of little children, cook
and eat the flesh, and from the lat
make ointments and medicines, which
he gave rs charms. He had threatened
TO kill and eat her if she ever gave in
formation of his doings.-London

For Cigarette Smokers.

Boston possesses a tobacconist who
has conceived a plan for the wholesale
killing off of wealthy idlers. He says:
Ibid you ever see workingman
smoking a cigarette? OF course not.
Cigarettes are smoked exclusively by
wealthy chaps. Now. L don't mind
telling you outright what it was that
l limited at. I'm a cigarette hand. L
work in factory where 100000 ciga-
rettes are rolled every day. More
than twenty men among us are Social
lists. What would be easier than for
us to put a deadly poison into a whole
DAYS batch of tobacco? Then away
would go thousands upon thousands of
our oppressors at a puff. Here and
there good enough man would fall,
but the great majority would be the
kind that hurt us, and the kind that the
world would be happily rid of. When
the time comes to bring about an
archy-and mighty soon that may be, ]
can tell you-we've got it in our power
to destroy multitudes of the nOn-pro-
ducing classes by just making then
smoke themselves to death. 1t is per
fectly simple and feasible. We know
poison one Whit of which would b.

sCIENTIFfC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The experiment in acclimating the

Lecturing in Boston on the sun,
Professor Samuel p. Langley said that
if a column of ice having diameter
at its base of forty-ilve miles, and eX-
tending to the moon, were erected on
one of our Western prairies, and all
the heat of the sun were concentrated
suddenly upon it, it would melt and
become paper in single second.
Recent investigations throw some
light on the relations between the
presence of starch and sugar in plants.
1t is found that sugar occurs in the
leaves and ac,umulates in the stem
until the moment of the formation Of
starch in the seeds. 1t then passes
first into the inflorescence to support
it, and subsequently into the seeds
themselves, where it Is replaced by
starch. The function of the sugar
would appear, therefore, to be that Of
furnishing the seeds with the ele enents
of starch.
Lecturing recently upon the geologi.
cal history of Palestine, Professor E-
Hull, f. r. S, mentioned that the
physical phenomenon which renders
the Holy Land unique among all
countries is the remarkable depression
of the Dead sea. the surface of which
is not less than thirteen hundred feet
below the level of the Mediterranean.
AS the sea can have no outlet saline
matters gather in great quantity, and
24.57 pounds of salts are found to
exist in each hundred pounds of sur
face water, while the Atlantic contains
but six pounds in. each hundred.

Brigham's Eighteen Widows.

Eighteen Of Brigham's widows live
here still. says Salt Lake City letter.
Some of the widows live with their
families in the 'Lion house"-so called
from the carved stones that cap the
pillars of the ntrances.-where they
lived during Brigham's lifetime, but
the main building in which he lived is
now the headquarters of the church.
None of the widows have remarked,
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Amelia, it will be remembered,
was the most attractive of Brigham's
plurality, and was the recipient Of his
most conspicuous favors. She was too
good to live in the prophets harem,
and he built for her, across the street
from the Lion house, an elegant man
sion of stone, somewhat similar to
some of the residences that adorn
Prairie avenue, in Chicago. 1t was
furnished by him with costly luXu-
rance, and here he abode, during the
last years of his life, in the bosom of
his favorite, while across the way in
the old adobe structure, which was
erected soon after the exodus from
NauvoO, the other seventeen remained
without a murmur.
Courtiers came to WOO her, and it
was reported at one time that she had
been "sealed" to one Of the apostles, a
/ business man who lives at Ogden but
she rejected his addresses and still
wears a widows weeds. The Gentiles
know little about her, but the Nor
mons say she is still true to Brigham,
and believes that she will yet sit with
him in glory. She was the wife of his
old age, and never had any children.

Mr.. NORMAN Hunt, of No. 1863 Chestnut St,
Springfield, Mass, writes April 10, 1885, say
ing; Having the atiliction caused by kidney
and liver diseases, and after enduring the
aches, pains, weakness and depression Incl
dent thereto until body and soul were nearly
distracted, sought for relief and cure from
my trouble, and was told by a friend who had
been cured by it himself, that the best and
only sure cure was Hunts Remedy, and upon
his recommendation commenced taking it,,
and the first few doses improved my condi-
tion in a very marked manner, and a con-
tinuance of its use has justified all that my
friends claimed for it-that it was a sure and
permanent cure for all diseases of the kidneys
and liver. Several of my friends in Spring
field have used it with the most gratifying
results, and l feel it my duty as well as a
pleasure 10 me to recommend Hunts Remedy
