The editor of the Ente, prise, of vir-
ginia, Nevada, has had some trouble
with journalistic rivals and others, who
have accused him of being q blasted
Britisher. His reply to this, which is a
good one, is as follows: GAS
for the editor, he pleads guilty
to the awful crime of being by birth an
Englishman. He has, however, endeav-
ored in his own person to make ample
atonement for that terrible mistake OF
his early life. He has been resident
Of the United States for twenty-seven
years and citizen Of the republic these
seventeen years past. He was natural.
lied under that generous provision Of
American naturalization laws which per.
mitted aliens who had borne arms in its
defense to become citizens without filing
a declaration. He believes, withoutany
mental reservation whatsoever, that the
Government Of the United States is the
best in the world, and knows allegiance
to no other on earth, and will teach his
American born children, of an American
mother, to revere its constitution and
obey its laws"

A HIDEoUsLY-UGL murderer in San
Francisco has so fascinated young girl
there that she has married him, in spite
Of the fact that he has yet ten years to
serve in the State prison. She spends
her Sundays hugging and kissing the
brutal criminal in presence Of a large
crowd without any sign of being discon-
certed. Her father has not only refused
to take any steps to annul the marriage,
but has done with her forever. She has
taken the murderer's child to care for,
and he announces that the last four
months, since the girl fell in love with
him, have been the happiest Of his life.
As he killed his former wife he will be
all the more interesting to his new one.

ALMOST A HOMICIDE.
Dr.. Ben. S. Wood Stabbed to the
Hollow.

An alteration occurred in this city
last Tuesday morning which resulted
in DR.. Ben. 5. Woods being serious
ly stabbed by negro named John
Thomas Broadly.
Broadly had been employed by DR..
Wood TO lead his fine horse, Mann
brine Forrest, around the streets. on
Monday, for which he was to be
paid ten cents an hour. On Monday
night Broadly called to see DR.. Wood,
but he was absent, and so he returned
the next morning. He went TO his
stable, where he found Philandcr
Coleman, Dr. Woods hostlcr, who
told him that DR.. Wood had left
twenty-five cents with him for him,
(Broady). Broadly said it was not
enough, and refused to accept the
quarter.
At this stage, DR.. Wood himself
entered the stable, and, according to
Coleman's statement, inquired what
was the matter. Broadly said twenty
five cents was not enough, and de-
manded fifty cents, which DR.. Wood
paid him remarkiug that he
wanted no further transactions
with him. Broadly retortcd that he
(Wood) never paid anybody enough
for working for him. Wood replied
that lie always paid what he prom
ised, and ordered Broadly to get of
his premises, at the same time APP
plying an opprobious epithet to him.
Broadly went out and spoke back in
an insulting manner, and DR.. Wood
went out after him and threw a
brick-bat at him. Broadly lodged
the brick and turning on Wood, with
knife, cut him in the chest and
stabbed him in the abdomen. The
account of the affair after DR.. Wood
got outside Of the stable is based
upon the testimony of Harry Dow,
r ner, colored boy, who was the only
witness besides Coleman.
The cut in the chest was only
slight, as the knife struck a rib and
did not penetrate. The wound in the
bowels went to the hollow, and was
at first thought by DR.. Fairleigh, Tho
attending physician, to be fatal.
Dr. Wood suffered intensely al
day Tuesday and a part of Wednes
day, but by Thursday morning h,
was resting easier, and is now out o.
danger, with favorable circum
stances.
Broadly was tried before Judg,
Winfree, Tuesday afternoon, ant
- upon the testimony of Coleman ant
Downer, was held under a bail o
$500 till the 10Th inst, to await tn,
result of DR.. Woods injuries
Broadly, his father and sister, who's
combined property is valued at 81,
500, were accepted on the bond.
DIR. Wood Is a prominent and use
full citizen, and has host of friend
who earnestly hope for his speed.
recovery. lie is probably forty o
more years Of age. Broadly is abou
TWENTY-FIVE years old. He claim
that the cutting was done in sell
defense, and has employed Brcathii
n Suites to defend him. s

Artificial Human Milk.

There are in England several facto-
ries for making artificial human milk,
which is extensively used. II is made
from pure cows milk, which is first
placed in Theoretically sealed boiler
and heated to temperature of 1909 c.
to destroy all germs. Then digestive
ferment, called pancreatine, is added,
by which artificial digestion is pro-
duced. Then dilute acids are used to
precipitate the excess of albumen and
to bring about the same constitution
as human milk. The process is too
intricate for ordinary use. The pro-
duct is said to produce excellent re.
suits. Thirty sick children in public
institution, when fed upon it, gained
in health and weight most rapidly.

Facts About Trichinosis.

Antonio Pisino, the Italian laborer
who is at Bellevue Hospital, New York
under treatment for trichlnosis, is do.
ing WE'LL 1t has been discovered that
the sick man has an inordinate fond.
ness for raw pork, of which he ate
lar &c quantities. There have been five
other cases of tricbinosis in Bellevue
Hospital within five years. OF these
only one has resulted fatally. That
was the case of a butcher who was
taken TO the hospital in 1880. He had
eaten large quantity of Diseased pork
and he died shortly after his admission
to the hospital. The latest case was
that of Jew who was admitted about
year ago. He had eaten a piece of
bologna sausage the first piece of
pork that he had ever tasted. He re-
covered after severe illness.
Trichinosis can be contracted only
from raw or underdone pork. A tenn
perature of 1855 degrees Fahrenheit
will kill the trchin@. If the meat is
thoroughly picked and allowed to
stay in the brine, the animalcules are
destroyed. Smoking is ineffective, in
as.much as it reaches only the outside.
Hence bologna sausage or raw ham in
nearly every instance is the means of
conveying the disease. 1t is only in
cases of weak constitution, or when
the patient has eaten immoderately of
the diseased flesh, that the disease re.
suits fatally. About twenty. five per
cent Of the cases of trichinosis prove
fatal. There is case of man who
had trichinos.s, and when piece of
muscular tissue was examined twenty
four years after, live trichine were
found in it. ant

Mrs. Langtry's Newest Craze.

Buttons made from gold dollars
with the wearer's monogram engraved
upon them, are now the rage. The
craze was started by Mrs. Langtry,
who some time ago ordered two dozen
of them engraved and enameled. She
paid 800 for the job. The buttons
are expensive and very few can afford
them, though ten-cent pieces are some
times substituted. In addition to the
monographs, fancy figures are also en-
graved upon the coins.
