A femdays ago a lady stepped into
the depot at Saltwater and purchased
ticket for st. Paul. She then ap-
preached the station agent and told
him that she had a large sum of money
on her person, and was afraid to go
alone, as there were several men in
the waiting room that she thought
were watching her. She stated that
she had been travelling through Europe
and had stopped off in New York for
several days on her return, where she
had obtained 100000 worth of Govern
ment bonds and $1,000 in money, max
ing in all $25, 900, which she carried on
her person. The agent doubted her
story and asked her where the money
was. In my stocking,n she replied,
at the same time reaching down and
drawing therefrom bunch of paper.
which she showed and which proved
to be genuine Government bonds. By
the direction of the agent one of the
employees at the depot accompanied
the lady to st. Paul, where he was pre-
sented with a handsome pin as a re-
ward for his services-St Paul Mn

DIR. Shaw, writing to the Medical
Times from Delaware Water Gap,
where poisonous snakes abound, says
that during the past six years, in which
he has followed out method of cure
for snake bite, he has not lost a case.
He gives sixty minims of aromatic
spirits of ammonia hypodermically and
an ounce of whiskey every two hours.
A large poultice of bruised raw onions
is applied to the wound and renewed
every hour The whiskey and onions
are continued until cure is effected,
which is usually on the third day.

The negroes of Rome, Ga, are now
afraid to put their heads out of the
door after dark. Vague stories are cir
culated of medical students who go
abroad in the darkness and seize the
first victim that comes along, and,
after killing him, carry the body off to
the colleges for dissection. 1t seems
to be a kind of craze with the negroes
of Georgia. In Macon few weeks ago
an old woman was mourning the loss
of a son, whom she alleged had fallen
a victim to the body snatchers. A sim
liar craze prevailed around Thomasville
a month or two ago.

An electric boy is reported at Youngs-
town, Ohio, Frank Burnett. A special
to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "On
his approach chairs and tables dance,
and heavy articles totter that his
natural strength could not move. The
lad is unable to explain his unnatural
power, and has always enjoyed good
health. The tests made thus far show
the lad to be able to do more than he
has claimed. 1t is probable medical
experts will examine him to ascertain
if possible the secret of his power" He
is described as being Is years old and
slight of build and lives with his mother.

TRIBUTE FROM MR.. CHILDS.

Mr.. George w. Childs is about to
place a memorial window to the late
General Grant in the eastern side of
Library Hall, Long Branch. 1t will
consist of a magnificent triple window
of stained glass of the most beautiful
design and finish. The idea of the
window was suggested by Mr. w. G..
Baker, an intimate friend of Mr.. Childs.
He 10 sooner mentioned the matter
than Mr.. Childs promised to contribute
the necessary amount. The general
features of the window will be a bust
portrait of General Grant surrounded
with gems in the upper part of the
centre. Below is the tablet with the
following inscription:

A grain dealer of Toledo, Ohio, the
PLAIN Dealer says, who had been
known for the peculiar beauty of his
black mustache and whiskers, died in
that city recently after a period of i'll
ness, and his friends were astonished,
upon looking upon him in death, to
notice that his whiskers had turned
gray. 1t was subsequently found that
the glossy black had been obtained by
the use of a hair dye that was poison
Gus. When he drank hot tea and
coffee the liquid strained through his,
mustache and carried from it little OF
the poison of the hair dye. In time
his stomach became inflamed with the
poison, and death was the final result.

When General Garfield was a mem
Der OF Congress, an old woman came
to Washington with a claim dating
back to the Revolution. The amount
asked for was too small to tempt the
lobby, and she followed it up herself
The simple minded old lady could not
understand why her Just demand
should not at once be recognized and
settled. But years passed, and years
with her were few and precious. Some
kind-hearted people, learning of her
distress, for she was very poor, inter
ested themselves, and not only urged
the passage of the bill but gave her
support in the meanwhile Sometimes
the bill passed the House to be lost in
the Senate. Then it would get through
the Senate, to be defeated by one fatal
objection in the House. The little old
lady followed the measure from Senate
to House, from House to Senate. Sit
ting in one place, she watched and
waited patiently session after session,
and waited in vain. One day Garfield
caught at an advantage. The fatal
objector, for a wonder, was absent.
He had sore throat, and could not
speak above a whisper Garfield in a
lull of the proceedings brought up the
bill of the little old lady and in five
minutes passed it to law. He sent
page to his friend and client with the
joyful tidings. She dropped her knit
ting and lifting her hands as if for
Thanksgiving, she tainted. They car
ried hefto the committee room of the
District of Columbia and labored long
to restore her to consciousness; but the
poor old soul, shocked beyond bearing
by the good news, had winged its fight
to tribunal where lobbyists and Con
gressmen are alike unknown

AN INCIDENT.

The incident which occurred at a thea
ire in Tunis the other day between an
Italian and French officer Of Chasseurs.
very plainly indicates the hostile feeling
which exists between France and Italy
The feeling is as old as the days when
the Romans overran Gaul, and though
the inhabitants OF both countries are
! descended from the same stock, still
there is but little affinity between them
For centuries past France has deemed
Italy but dumping ground for her super
numerous princes, whether those princes
were Bourbons or Bonapartists. When
Italy was disunited, France was ever
busy sowing the seeds oi discomfort, and
was only driven out OF Italy when Prus-
sia entered Paris in 1871. 1t was Ger
many here that expelled France, and the
hatred that France bears that country
was partly divided to give to Italy a por-
ton. The incident that bas Just occurred
in the Tunisian theatre is the result of
this feeling, which has been greatly in
tenSitied in the past two or three years
by the demonstrations that were made at
Marseilies and Lyons some two or three
years ago against Italian workmen.
Italy thought the French expedition to
Tun;s in 1881, a special outrage upon her
rights. That expedition was gotten up
on the llimsiest pretext and without any
justification. Everyone will recall the
brilliant preparations that were made for
that expedition, and how the subjects of
the Bey were treated by the French.
The Tunisians themselves do not remem-
der ii with more hatred than do the
Italians. To undertake to make French
men and Italians affiliate in Tunis is
to undertake to unite two explosive
chemicals without harm resulting there
from. The slap in the face which the
lieutenant received was provoked
by the Kisses and remarks that
had been made by the
French portion OF the audience. and
among that portion the lieutentant was
doubtless very conspicuous. The thing
OF most Importance connected with the
whole affair is the order of General Boul-
anger commanding the French on the
least provocation from either Jews or
Italians to draw their swords and protect
themselves. seeing that the law cannot.
1t is strange order, when it is remem-
bered that Tunis is under the protectorate
OF France, and that the corps of occupa-
ton numbers sixteen thousand men.
Perhaps it is desired to precipitate con-
nict between the two predominant foreign
peoples there, and if it does happen, it
will put great strain upon the relations
between Rome and Paris. With such a
feeling as there is between the two coun-
tries, even so small an incident as the

ing q prediction as to who would be elect
ed President pro tenn.
1t was generally conceded BY the Dem

proved to be the casa. The Democratic
caucus which was called to order at noon,

unanimously agreed to present the name

Mr.. Sherman acknowledged the honor
in the following brief speech:
SENATORS: l return you my hearty
thanks for the high honor you propose to
confer upon me. Your advice, no doubt,
has been influenced BY the fact that | have
long been a member Of the Senate. Still
my duties hitherto have not given me the
practical experience necessary for a good
presiding officer. l can only say in &C.
the position assigned me that |
will do all l can fairly and impartially 10
and enforce the rules Of the Sen.

passed the Senate during the last Congress,
should be introduced as soon as practical

.siderstion, should be promptly passed. Ad-
