- Some days ago, when large excur-
sion OF negroes went to Paducah to attend
celebration, one of the party was a negro
living with his wife on Walnut street,
near Thirteenth. He left his wife at home
and went with another woman; but when
he returned his home was locked up, and
forcing his way in, he found the rooms all
empty. Upon inquiry he learned that his
wife had sold all the household goods and
departed on the evening train for Washing
ton or some other point, taking with her
gold watch which she had asked him to
loan her just before he went to Paducah
with his other gal"
democratic journals generally will
heartily disapprove of the publication of
the obscene story about Mr.. Blaine. We
do not believe that more than half of the
story is true, and even if it were all true in
all its revolving details, it would be only
the less tt an argument to use. Further
more, there is no need Of resorting to any
thing in Mr.. Baine's private life in order
to convince most people of his unfness
for she Presidency. HIS public acts fur
nish more than enough material for this
purpose, and these are matters that come
properly under the head of subjects
for legitimate campaign. In this re-
spect the Democratic journals will act in
commendable contrast with the many Re
publican papers that gave prompt and full
publicity to that gross libel against Gov.
Cleveland.

Poisoned BY an Insect.

The death OF Snowman James Reilly
from a rattlesnake's bite has brought
out notwithstanding and curious stories
of the effects OF poisonous bites and
stings. 81 remember something of the
sort which happened in my own fam
ily," said young man to Times re-
porter yesterday. 81 was living five
years ago this summer with my parents
in little village in Western New York,
on Lake Erie My mother was and is
a stout and reasonably healthy woman.
She was then about 80 years old. She
is very fond of flowers, and has great
many house-plants. One morning she
was going about her household work
with her sleeves pushed back to her
elbows when she happened TO notice
that Gala lily needed some water.
The lily was in an earthen jar, and
picking it up in her hands she walked
through the house and out at the back
door. AS she passed into the open air,
an insect, which she took to be large
fly of some kind, lighted on her left
arm, half way between the wrist and
elbow. She felt % slight singing sem
sation, and, as soon as she could set
the Jar down, she brushed the insect
off. Almost instantly she felt curl
Gus pricking all over the body. Her
sight grew dim, and she began to grow
faint
"The pantry was perhaps twenty
five feet from where she stood. She
CROPPED her way through the interven-
ing rooms into that and drank at least
a pint of milk. The tingling sensation
continued, and as she passed out into
an outer room she sat down, and, draw
drawing her slipper and stocking of,
found that her feet, like her hands and
arms, had turned to rosy red. The
soles of her feet itched as though she
had stepped on nettles. A moment
later she had fit of retching, and di-
rectly after she felt better. | was
away from the house, and it was half
an hour after she was stung before my
younger brother found me. When l
reached the house and saw her, | was
terribly alarmed, although she was
much better, and was able to walk.
Her face was deep, livid red, except
for white spot on each cheek. Her
eyes were swollen and bloodshot, and
she was shiyering as though cold. Her
skin at the same time was dry and hot.
When she tried to speak her voice was
choked, and it was with difficulty she
could enunciate words. When first
stung she could not speak at all. This
occurred in the morning. Before night
her skin had regained its normal color,
and she was very much better Her
arm was swollen and throbbed with
pain, and continued so for several
days. She has never entirely recover
ed from the effects of the poison, and
is sometimes even yet unable to speak
clearly"
"What was the insect?"
1--WE never knew. Some people
thought it was wasp, and others were
sure it was horsehy. My mother,
who always lived in the country and
knows all the common insects, is sure
it was neither, nor any other insect she
had eyer seen. She believes, too, that
if she had not drank the milk she
would have died then and there from
the effects of the poison. l am inclined
to agree with her.-N. T. Times.
