Tho Late Volcanic Eruptions.

The injury done by the late volcanic
eruptions in New Zealand can now be

square miles is covered with quite three
inches of volcanic dust. while the deposit
reaches to three feet and more over
twenty miles. For 400 square miles the
country is totally destroyed, and Loco
quare miles are much damaged. the re.

An Ungenerous Widow.

A good story is being told in Wash
ington of claim agent who recently
lost Sc. 600. AS the story was told to
q reporter, the client was a widow, Of
good family and fine presence. Tho
claim was a just one for quartermaster
stores furnished during the war to tho
amount of about $50, 1000, and had been
pending for about twenty years. The
attorney was an old acquaintance and
friend of the family, and was promised
ten per cent, or about $4,000. for pro-
curing payment. He went to work IN
earnest. He saw the Secretary of War
and the Quartermaster General, and
exerted his eloquence so persuasively
that the claim was made the subject of
special investigation. The attorney
watched the course of the claim
through all the intricacies of the red
tape Of the department, saw that the
evidence was forthcoming at the proper
stages of the case. and finally, after
nearly three months labor, received
notification to call at the Treasury De-
partment with his client to receive .
warrant for the amount. They went
and received the warrant, but the cash
room was closed, so the amount could
not be drawn. 1t was Saturday. The
attorney was too gallant to manifest
any distrust of his client by retaining
possession of the warrant until his fee
was secured, as he had u right to do,
and besides, had he not known
her for fifteen years? The warrant was.
therefore. left with her. and the lady
promised to come to the Office on Mon
day at one O'Clock, get the money and
settle with the attorney. This was sat-
isfactory to him, and the prospect Of
having, on the next day but one, Sc. 900
of hard cash in his pocket opened his
aeart- well, Mrs. Blank said he,
1--WE have had hard fight and have
won it. Let us go to Losekam's and
have lunch" They went. Money was
no object to the attorney then, and an
hour later, when the waiter brought
him check for 1925, he threw him q
500 bill and told him to keep the
change.
One o'clock on Monday came, but the
bewitching widow failed to appear.
The attorney remained at his Office un-
til six o'clock making plans for the ex-
pend ture of the $4,000. Tuesday
morning he received telegram dated
New York: II sail to-day for Bremen.
Will return and see you in the fall. -
A few days ago he received letter
from his client dated at Monaco.

SOUTH AFRICAN polsosss
Subtitle Fluids Employed Among II,
Bush People.

Bush People.
There are several poisons ip usa
among the aboriginal tribes of southern
Africa, but that extracted from cat
erpillar, and designated by the natives
'mangue." is the most fatal, Writes
Parker Gilmore in The Popular Scsssos
Monthly. The pain which the victims
suffer who have been inoculated with il
must be fearful indeed; but it is not
long endured, for two or three hours
generally puts an end to the stricken
animals existence. OF course. this
time is more or less protracted by the
size of the wound, the locality in which
it is situated, and the quantity Of tho
venom used; for instance, one of the
tributaries of the Zambesi, lioness
that had been wounded at sundown,
did not expire until the following day
break, during all which time the cries
of anguish which she kept repeating
terribly told how fearfully the poor
creature was suffering. On examina-
ton, this victim of the poisoned arrow
only had slight puncture beneath the
skin close to the flank, but the firmness
of the hide had prevented the missile
from falling from the wound.
As the habits of semi-barbarous peo-
pie always possess great interest for
me, trust they do SO for my readers,
and I will therefore describe the two
other poisons in use among the Bush
people and the manner in which they
are employed to serve their purpose.
First, will advert to the juice of the
euphorbia. This is family Of plants
all alike foreign to the European eye
in appearance, although not by any
means strictly tropical. Some species
possess much more poisonous matter
than others, the most deadly being in
appearance like a crooked pole with .
bunch of long, hard, leaves decorating
its summit When employed by tho
natives for the purpose above spoken
of, it is collected in quantities on the
margin of q small vley or pond Of
water, when it is beaten between the
stones till the necessary quantity OF tho
juice impregnates the water. At night
unconscious game, probably thirsting
from the hours they have passed in the
sun-dried desert como to the valley to
satisfy their craving for drink. but
scarcely have they done SO when they
become intoxicated, and soon after ho
down to sleep the sleep that knows NO
waking. In this death do not think
the victims suffer much pain, for all
that have seen that have been killed
IN this manner were in the positions
they would assume if they had lain
down to take their usual sleep.
1t is, strange that this poison is much
more injurious to horses, zebras. and
quaggas than it is to the cleven-hoofec
or horned animals. Why state thi.
! is that while the former viii not pro
ceed over half mile after they havt
imbibed the subtitle fluid before being
incapacitated from going further, tht
latter will travel many miles ere they
drop, if drop they do, for I am con
vinced that many escape death from
this poison, although possibly brought
very close to it.

DEATH OF Mr. SAMUEL S. COLEMAN
Mr.. Samuel S. Coleman, third son of the
late James p. Coleman, died at his late res
idence, on south Fairfax street, at an early
hour this morning. The deceased, though
unwell for some time past, had never been
confined to his bed, and his death was alto
gether unexpected. Mr.. Coleman, ut the
breaking out of the late war, was member
of the Mount Vernon Guards, and leaving
here with that company on the eveDtful
morning Of the oath of May, 1861, served
with bravery and fidelity throughout the
four years. conflict which followed. He re-
turned home at the close Of hostiitics aud
began work at his trade (iron moulding)
which he continued to do up to few
months ago. Throughout the greater por-
ton of his life the deceased enjoyed the best
of health. He was of powerful physique,
and bid fair TO go down to tho grave IAN
old man and full Of years." Recently, how.
ever, the strength of his early manhood be-
gan to wane and perceptibe decline set
in, supposed Mt first to he the effects of Il
heavy cold, bnt despite medical skill he
failed TO convalesce, and finally his respira
ton grew difficult which was aggravated
somewhat by distr, s~ing cough. 1t was
subsequently, ascertained that his heart was
affected, which was the origin of all the
trouble. Mr. Coleman was out yesterday,
and though looking feeble no one dreamed
the sands Of life had 80 nearly run out. The
deceased was forty eight years of aga.

HEALING PowER.-A we'll known old col
ored man Of this city has recently recover
ed from severe illness, during which, at
several times, his friends thought he would
die. He is now able to walk about, and to
a number of gentlemen has given the fol-
lowing account of his recovery. He says
that after being attended for long time by
most of the physicians of the city, none of
whom gave him any relief, he had dream
in which he was told by the Lord to see
Drs Fairfax aud O'Brien at once. The
next morning he sent for the physicians,
put himself under their joint treatment,
took the medicines they prescribed, follow
cd their directions closely, and in short
time was restored to health. He is con-
vinced tina. his recovery is the result of the
vision, and is loud in his praise of the niure-
said doctors, who, he firmly believes, are
pc ssessed with powers from above. The
story of the old mans recovery is true, but
what tho two doctors think of their divine
power, or what is thought of it by the
other physicians is not known by the writer
Of this paragraph, who expects to be out of
the city for some time.

EXPLOSION OF A Rata story (sup-

about some rats eating compressed yeast
cakes and exploding like rockets shortly
thereafter was published in the GAZETTE a
few days ago. A case, however, occurred
at the residence of lady on Lee street to-
day which goes far towards giving c,edence
to the yarn. A cake of compressed yeast
had been placed in cupboard where it was
discovered by huge rodent and eaten. The
lady upon going to the cupboard to day for
the leaven was somewhat perpleSed at not
being able to find it, but was much astonished
TO find large rat with its sides blown out
by the expansive power of the missing yeast
upon which it had dined.
