The Deadly viii: rarsnip.

The Austin Reveille has been
examining a bunch Of wild pars-
nip, which was sent to DR.. Hunts
mar, and describes it as follows:
"The leaves very much resemble
celery, while the root is like that of
horse radish and is very easily
mistaken for it, but the leaves are
so very different from the large
coarse horse radish leaf that they
could not possibly be mistaken for
it, The medical works Go not haye
much to say about it, except to
assert that its poison Is similar to
that of hemlock.

lacked Horse Sense.

A young man rode into town yes
terday and informed John Vowel
that one Of his horses with two of
Arthur Loves had been standing
on bar in the river just above the
latter's ranch at Osino, and on
being driven out it was discovered
that the animals were utterl y ruined
by the water in which they must
have been standing for a number
of days, without food. The flesh
on the legs had pulled up, and abb
solutely rotted to such an extent
that the animals could scarcely
move. Their emaciated bodies and
sunken eyes clearly indicated the
process of starvation. Two of them
died soon after being taken out Of
the water and the other was killed
on the spot.
They had evidently attempted to
cross the stream; been washed
down to the bar by the strong
current, where they had stood,
starved and rotted in eighteen
inches of water, with nothing but
the stream in front, between them
and liberty. 1t seems to have been
a case OF d. iiberate equine suicide.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
Piutes and Columbia River an
dams stealing Horse In
Grant County,
Oregon.

The Canyon City, (Oregon) News
says: "Last week the report was
circulated that band of about 3oO
Piute and Columbia River Indians
were camped near Round Basin. in
this county, and that they had
driven off about thirty-fiye head of
fine horses from different parties in
that vicinity; entering the corral in
broad daylight and taking the
horses out, after which a part of
the band with the horses took the
trail leading across the mountains
to Harvey, undoubtedly with the
intention of meeting the renegade
Piutes from that part OF the
country. But we have since been
Informed that thy report OF their
taking the animals during the day
time was false one, but there was
no doubt but that the Indians took
them, as their moccasin tracks
could be plainly seen around the
corral, and a man hunting stock
the next day met an Indian having
a horse which he recognized at once,
and which he afterwards ascer-
tanned to be one that was stolen"

Ign Bridge.
New YORK, May 25.-Brooklyn
bridge was the scene of another
excitement yesterday, when poor
but educated German, named Fleis-
cher, attempted to leap off into the
river and was barely saved by a
policeman running to and dragging
him down from the outer rail. He
had removed his coat and vest and
left a note for his wife showing his
fruitless endeavor to obtain en-
ployment. What can I do ?" he
wrote. My things are all pawned;
you, poor wife are sick and feeble !;
[ cannot beg, [ dare not steal and |
cannot stay here, lost man, a
tramp" The reporters say Fleis-
'cher's home presented a sad APP
pearance. His wife has eight
children, the oldest not more than
ten years. The last child was born
one week ago and the wife had to
get up three days after and work
to keep them from starvation.
Although similar cases to this
occur every week in other parts of
the city, the attempt to make
Brooklyn bridge the place of suicide
seems to fill the public mind with
horror. Unless police precautions
are doubled, we shall surely haye a
series of such attempts.

WASHINGTON, D. c. May %
Prof. Ritter says the seventeen-year
locusts, whose visit he has predict
ed, are harmless to growing crops,
and do no injury except to twigs
of forest and fruit trees. Wher-
ever young orchards have been
planted on land which has been
cleaned during the last seventeen
years, trees are liable to suffer
somewhat; but it is probable that
kerosene spray will protect them.
The ordinary locust, which are so
destructive to growing crops, has
jaws which cut, while the seven
teen-yea specie, more properly
called cicada, has only beak,
through which he sucks his nour-
ishment.

Human Judgment.

How little we know of each others hearts
AS we walk this world Of ours,
And in the paths of our fellow-men,
Are scattering thorns or flowers.
We meet in the social rounds of life,
Each week-perhaps each day,
With pleasant chat, touch of the hand,
We part and go our way
But beneath the mask which many hearts
Turn toward the world so cold,
How few there are who recognize
The spirits finer gold.
We call men careless-heartless per-
haps,
Or cynical harsh and stern;
We think women frivolous light and vain,
Nor their higher natures discern,
Till trial or sorrow uEloeks the soul,
Or sympathy gives claim,
And we see meath the surface calm or
cold,
The opal's heart of flame.
0. ye who look at the mere outside,
Take heed how We judge your kind,
Ye may wound some noble, sensitive
heart,
Whose depths ye can never find.

CLUvERIUs's PRISONIIFE
He Wants More Liberty, but
Fails to get it.
Still Calm and Confident, if Not Cool.

The prison life of Thomas JuGson
Cluverius has come to be very monot-
onous. He has few visitors, and his
time he spends mostly IN reading.
For about three hours per day he is
allowed the liberty of the inner jail
yard all the rest of the day and all
of tue night he IS loked up in his
cell. He considers this very great
hardship, and recently one of his
counsel applied to both the Sergent
and the Judge for greater liberty
that is, for longer time to be spent in
the jail-yard-but could get no con>
cessiOn.
The prisoner continues his calm
and confident air. He looks tolera>
bly, we'll. The city Jail is not de-
sirable place in which to spend the
summer-few prisons are-but the
heat there is not so severe as would
be supposed. The walls are thick
and high, and while they keep out
much of the breeze, keep off also
much of the fierceness of the sun.
The city Jail is in sad need of i'm
prOvement- If ever fire occurs
there in the dead of night almost
certainly many of the prisoners will
be roasted alive. The accommodate
tions there are SO poor that the luna
tics are mixed up with f elons. There
are lupatics in the Jail who've been il
