A WILD man was recently found
securing through the woods near One
ga, few miles northeast of Centralia,
ILL.,, with a heavy chain around him
and hickory stick in his hand. All
that could be learned from him was
that he was from Ohio. He had been
living in the woods several days. and
when food was prepared for him he ate
it like dog, not using his hands,
seemingly as though he had not partaken
of food for some time. He was sent to
Salem, the county seat, to be cared for
by the county.

COLONEL c. G. MCCAULEY, Com
mandant of the Marine Corps, in his
annual report says the Panama expedi-
ton showed in the strongest manner
what he had for years stated to the De-

not enough officers and men. All the
shore stations were nearly stripped
and left without adequate protection,
and the guards were withdrawn from
many ships, which gave rise to much
inconvenience. Some of the Captains
have been twenty-one years in that
grade. and several First Lieutenants
have been twenty years in the service.
Colonel McCauley recommends that
the corps be increased by five hundred
privates. He submits estimates

AT a meeting of the Medico-Legal
Society at New York recently various
speakers held that cocoaine is poison.
and should be so labeled and sold.
Prof. Doremus knew q woman who
was poisoned to death by cocoaine used
on an aching tooth. DIR. Halcomb
said he had heard that fatal case of
cocoaine poisoning had occurred in
one of the city hospitals within two or
three days. 1t would be of value to
hear from DR.. Douglas on the result Of
his experience of applying, nearly
every day for many months, spray of
cocoaine to General Grants throat.
A friend of his from Peru had told him
that in that country where the people
have the cocoaine habit. and where
they keep up on it for days without
food, deaths were not uncommon.

Partisan Bitterness Defeats the Effort to
Form a New Cabinet.
PARIS, April 3.-The party conflicts are in
creasing in bitterness M de Freycinet at
tributes his failure to form Ministry to the

sections, especially the Republican Union, in
claiming the balance of power in the Cabinet.
President Grevy proposes to obtain an
ad interim Ministry of Moderates, to
act in the interval between the
dissolution of the Chambers and the general cleo
ton. Shuller and Legrand, and other "Oppor-
tunists," oppose the dissolving of the Chamber,
on the ground that it is scheme for restoring
Ferry to power. In an interview with President
Grevy to-day, Shuller said that the majority of
the house who had overturned Ferry had wished
to repair their error.
M. Rochefort, replying to threat in an Oppor-
tunist paper, that the Ferry majority in the Sem
ate will refuse to vote for dissolution. says that
10, 900 men await the signal to march to sweep
away the Senate. Intense uneaSinesS prevails
among the people in Paris and throughout the
country.
