A Painted Hen.

Its often thought that the world
treated people very much us they de
served, and the better a person de-
served tue better the world treated
'em. It's precisely the same way with
hens 4 muddy -colOred little chicken
got its leg hurt and went lame, and
the whole fleet of hens bore down on
her and pecked and maltreated her.
The poor thing led horrible life till
caught her and painted her head with
gold paint and made eyes like pea
cocks with iridescent paint all down
her sides and gilded her legs, and when
she was quite dry let her loose among
the former prosecutors. The effect
was stunning. That hen walked into
the sun and she was something daz-
cling. The implanted hens We're dazed
with admiration. She has received
the unTemitting attentions ever since
of the four roosters belonging to my
farm. Duels are daily fought on her
account upon my premises. What will
happen when the gliding soaks Oft
! can't say; but at present she is the
| bossess and queen of the coop.

A Noted Suicide.


The suicide of Andrew Dumont ut
New Orleans tragically terminates a
life of uncommon political success and
not uncommon personal trouble. Du-
mont was of negro race, but the fact
was not discernible in his features,
which were singularly handsome. He
came into prominence early in recon
struction times as a leader of his race,
was active in organizing the republican
party, and received many of its hon
Ors. In 1876 he beat Pinchback in the
contest for the presidency of the re-
publican state convention, and was
chairman of the republican executive
committee in the last two presidential
campaigns. He held several state and
national offices, the last being that OF
naval officer of the port, to which he
was appointed by President Hayes,
and which he resigned a few weeks
ago without waiting for a hint from
Washington. He was only II years
old, and shot himself because things
were unpleasant between himself and
his wife.

The Presidents Luck.

The New York Worlds account of
the presidential fishing trip up the PO-
tOmac, says:
Monday morning the President, Col.
Lamont and Marshal McMichael rose
about $50, partOok of light breakfast
and started ont for the river. The
president was dressed in Il rough snuff
cOlOred suit aud light felt hat to
match, which was kept from blowing
away by string fastened on the hat
and connected with the buttonhOle of
his coat He was offered reel, with
all the modern appliances of scientific
fishing, but refused them all. He final
ly selected smooth reed pole, had Il
line and hook attached, and then tied
ON a buckshot for sinker.
"NOw | am all ready" he exclaimed,
holding the rod up triumphantly.
McMichael smiled pityingly, with
the air of professional, and remarked
that the president could not catch any
thing with that.
"Wait and see" replied Mr.. Cleve-
land, with a twinkle in his eyes. The
party then made their way to the river
aud stepped into Il boat prepared for
them. Both Lamont and McMichael
had reels, and smiled knowingly ut
each other as they showed off, as much
as to- say, "The old man will want to
change rods with us before long" But
| the prediction did not hold good. The
very moment the president threw his
! line overheard, with u splash that
made McMichael shudder, IA large bass
/ took hold and was safely landed in the
boat. All day long science was il
hard luck. The president caught tive
to one as many as his companions
The fish seemed to recognize the old
fashioned rod as the presidents an,
treated him accordingly.

What Are Ptomainesq

The n. Y. Evening Post of July z
had the following:
Dr. Cyrus Edson's attention was call
ed to-day to the accounts of wholesale
poisoning in MOmenee, H., where 81
persons were made i'll. some fatally, by
eating dried beef. az have read them y
he said, ''and my opinion is that the
! trouble was caused 10y ptomaines. They
are little basic bodies or principles
that were discovered not long ago by
the distinguished Italian Prof. Salmi,
! which develop under certain conditions
not yet very well known in putrefying
meat. Attempts to produce them have
not been very successful. Eighty
! pounds of human brains putrefied for
the purpose produced only enough ptO .
maines to make a few experiments on
| frogs. These proved THAT the poison
acted very much like the Indian arrow
| poison, cnraTe. Enough has been
shown, however, to suggest to me that
this almost unknown poison is at the
bottom of most, If not all, the mysteri-
Gus pOisOniDgs we have had from sau-
sage, from cheese. from canned salmon,
and canned goods generally, and now
and then from ice cream. When we
understand better the conditions ia
vOFable to the development of this
dangerous principle, we shall be able
To guard against 1t.
"a very characteristic case was that
of the poisoning of an east-side family
from eating sausage, last winter. Two
or three canned salmon poisoning cases
we have had here can be safely refer
red, too, to that category. don't
think the canning had anything to do
with the development of the poison. In
every case found that the cans had
been allowed to stand open for some
time in hot weather The most char
acteristic ease, however, was one | met
with up III Vermont. There was an
old farmer | knew there who had a
great reputation for making very de-
liCiOus and very rich cheese bat every
once in u while, he told me, complaints
would come that his cheese had caused
poisoning now and then of number
of persons. He was an honest old fell
low and of an observing turn, and in
the end he noticed that the trouble al
ways happened when he had made his
cheese especially rich by adding the
cream from his nights milking to the
mornings yield. After he stopped
that practice he never heard of another
case. Doubtless that practice made
especially favorable conditions for the
development of the ptOmaines.
II can't tell you much more about
them that a layman would understand
except that the ptomaines exhibit hu-
man characteristics in this, that gold
and alcohol bring them out in their
true cOlOrs. Salts of gold added to pu
trefying matter will precipitate them
show them up, as it were-and by add
ing acid to alcohol and cooperating
the latter you get them too"

Surprised Ladies.

One of the most singular, most
amusing. and at the same time, for
the victims, most annoying robberies,
occurred iii our city Sunday. Two
elderly ladies on Michigan street were
looking ut the circus procession pass
by. So intent were they in gazing
upon the dazzling pageant that not on
~ their eyes but their mouths were
wide open, and while in this awe
struck condition they were each star
tied 10y the slap of q rough hand over
their months. OF course they were
mad, and looked around with great in
dignatiOn to see who could be guilty
of such a rude act, and it was not un-
til they attempted to speak, in order
to properly express their wrath, that
they discovered their false teeth were
gone. The thieves had looked into
their wide open mouths, and saw that
the plates containing the teeth We're of
gold, and they wanted them. - South
