Special TO The Register.
CHARLESTON, S. O.. October T.
Public opinion has a6out ys!alized
here on the BeIiipgsr Riley tragedy.
1t is that The fuss about The holse
had nothing 10 do with it. A mem
ber of DR.. Bellinger's family has left
Charleston and crossed the line be-
tween the United States apd Canada
since the killing. The impression is
that the trial In the Sessions Court
will disclose a social condition nobody
ever dreamed Of here. DR.. Bellineer
is reported to have s:,id he would
rather die than tell why he killed
Riley. he virtually acknowledged to
q newspaper man in jail that the row
about the horse had nothing TO do
with. the killing. srITLwooD.

The Increase of Insanity.

Boston supports 800 insane, says Mr.. T.
B. Sanborn, not 70 of whom will recover |
This is frightfull Insanity has in
creased 40 per cent. in decade and most
of the cases are incurable. Whatever the
individual cause may be, the fact remains
that Uric Acid blood sets the brain on fire,
destroys its tissues, and then comes some
form Of fatal lunacy.
Nothing is SO pitiable as mind diseased.
Most brain troubles begin in the stomach (;
then if the blood is filed with uric acid,
caused by failure of kidney action, and the
consequent destruction Of the blood life
albumen-you have the fuel and the flame
and brain in full blaze as when one raves,
or In slow combustion, as in milder forms
of insanity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of st.
Jehnsbury, VT, few years ago was con-
fined in an asylum. He took terrible
cold while aiding in putting out fire in a
neighbours burning house, and for twenty
five years that cold was slowly filling his
blood with uric acid and finally the deadly
work was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warmers safe cure
and recovered. That was three years age
and having ridden his blood of all surplus
uric acid, he has remained well until this
day.
It is indeed terrible thing to lose ones
mind, but it is more terrible thing to suf.
fer such a condition when it can be sc
easily prevented.

Danger Of Eating Raw Ham.

A few months ago woman died In
Berlin of trichinosis. The case has just
been brought before the courts, and
during the trial some interesting facts
regarding the nature and effects of this
disease were brought to light. As usual,
the disease was caused by the reckless
German custom of eating raw ham. The
ham in this case was bought of man
who had previously sold several pigs
afflicted with this disease, his farm be-
ing situated near place infested with
rats, which are known to be generally
infected with trichinosis. Not only the
woman who died but all the members of
her family showed symptoms Of the dis
vomiting, pain in the muscles,
general exhaustion, swelling of the face,
etc.. but they all recovered under care
full treatment, while some other persons
who partook of The ham escaped
altogether. The defendant urged that
the woman's death was not caused by
trichinosis, but by the morphine which
she was in the habit of using; and
though it was proved that her death
was directly caused by trichinosis, yet
this fact was allowed as a mitigating
circumstance and the vender of the ham
condemned to only fourteen days i'm,
prisonment. tn Y. Post.

Curious Hindoo Prejudices.

A Hindoo can not cross the ocean and
60 to Europe or America without los
ing caste. The Hindoo people have
long obeyed this prejudice, and it is
this curious notion that has materially
hindered the progress of Hindoo COM
MERGE and trade. Under the influence
of English education, however, this
superstition is gradually losing its hold
on the minds of the people with many,
but the number of orthodox Hindoos
who will not object to voyage across
the ocean on the ground of losing caste
is still inconsiderable. The English
educated Hindoo youths, however, pay
no regard to this superstition, and
many of them now 60 to England and
France for the purpose of study and ed
ucation. But the number of such Hin
docs just now resident in London is
only about one hundred and fifty. En-.
gland-returned Hindoos are outcasted,
and if any of them think it advisable to
be taken back to his caste, he must &c
through certain expiatory ceremonies,
which are not only troublesome, bu,
also expensive. Pundit Krshna YARNS,
a young Hindoo gentleman, who had
studied for several years at Oxford, and
had been favorite of Prof. Moniel
Williams, came back to his country
lately and went through number of de-
meaning expiatory ceremonies in order
to be accepted by his caste-men =

STOCK BRANDS.
The Immense Variety Used by tho Stock
men OF Colorado.

The Immense Variety Used by the Stock.
men Of Colorado.
The twelve thousand or more stock
brands on file in the Secretary OF
States Office, afford an interesting field
of study. The display of ingenuity in
the matter of forming combinations is
remarkable. Phe number of combina-
tons upon any one letter is surprising,
There are, for instance, over two hun
dred and fifty on the letter H; ono hun
dred and fifty or more on both e and
d; no less than one hundred each on B
E, and SO on through the alphabet. In
making up the brand index book Mr.
Edward Hanley, notwithstanding of
State, says the Denver Times, has dis
played excellent Judgment The brands
are twice indexed ,once by the names of
the owners and again by brands. The
latter index is the one which is to be
printed and filed with the County
Clerks of the State. 1t is very elab-
crate affair. The brands are arranged
alphabetically or numerically, as far as
practicable. There are, however, COM
binations upon the letter |, the figure
/ and the bar, which can not be distin-
guished in the certificates sent in. They
are all three, therefore, indexcd under
the letter l. The letter o, the cipher,
the circle. the half-circle and quarter,
circle are also somewhat confusing.
They are all indexed under the letter
o. There will be of the twelve
thousand brands filed, more than
five hundred of each of these combna.
tons. These brands which can moi
be classed either rs letter or numerals
are indexed as miscellaneous. There
will probably be one thousand OF these.
A large proportion of these are figures
which have not been named, and are as
unnamable as the hieroglphics on the
pyramids of Egypt But there art
others that represent articles in com
mon use, animals, birds, etc. The
whole forms an exceedingly novel Sc
lection. The artists who have sent in
these certificates have usually takcr
the preoaution. to label their representa-
tons of the various characters, wist
and thoughtful act on their part, as i
would, in many cases. have proven
worse than Chinese puzzle to attemp
to classify them. Here are few o
the character brands: Moccasin track
turkey track, crows feet, anchor trow
ell, flags crossed, spear, table fork
and pitchforks of all sorts and shapes
staples, compass. boot shoe, cup, can
teen, dipper, scissors, spades in endles
variety, cows head, jar, cannon, anvil
saddle-bags, fish, hat, key, key-no
nippers, pick, Ratchet, boat, wine-glass
horses, bull-ring. pistol, lamp. LAM
chimney, arrow, swan, goose. etc., etc
The task of indexing the brands will
prove an exceedingly long and tediou
one. Owing to the nature of tho work
only one man can work upon it at
time, and, allowing that he works
Sundays, holidays and every day,
will require nearly three months t.
complete the work.-Pueblo Chiejtatn

for injuries received on the 9Th of January last
ny failing into an open sewer near 25th and X
streets. The amount of damages claimed is
$4,000. The District claimed that the sewer
