AT a recent meeting OF the Cincinnati
Academy of Medicine the uses Of "chloral"
as remedy were pretty thoroughly dis
cussed. The experience of the profession
seemed TO be that "chloral was an uncertain
and troacherous remedy" Some persons are
more effected by dose of four grains than
others are by a dose of twenty grains
Cases were reported where POO grains per
day had been given, and one case reported
by DR.. Beck, of the Baden army, where 430
grains were given in three and half hours,
the patient sleeping for thirty hours and
recovering
The profession also agreed that choral
can not successfully be administered hypo-
dermically. There were cases reported also
where death was caused by the administra-
ton Of ten or twenty grain doses, and where
dangerous symptoms resulted from single
five-grain dose. Such remedy can not be
regarded less than dangerous in any except
the most skillful handA-Inter Ocean.

A Back-Seat for Mustangs.

When you compare a mustang pony
to a Georgia mule, it is as moonlight i
to sunlight or as water is to wine. A
Muscogee County farmer claims that
he was recently breaking a young
mule A stalwart negro man mounted
the mule in the middle Of the lot and
the spectators mounted the fence. The
mule began to buck and dance at the
same time. A cloud of dust enveloped
him and his rider, and unearthly noises
came from the midst Of the dust cloud.
When the cloud of dust cleared away
the mule was quietly eating out Of the
trough in his stall, and one Of the
negro's knit s~uspenders was wrapped
tightly around his left hind leg. No
other portion Of the negro has vet been
discovered Columbus (Ga.) EnQusr-

A STORY OF A SMITH.
The Newspaper Man Who Couldn't
Accept Office.


Ex- Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Coon told this story to a group of
friends al the Fifth-avenue Hotel last
evening: ''When the Joint High Com
mission was sitting in Washington a
few years ago, the proceedings were
held behind locked doors, and the
greatest pains were taken to keep the
proceedings strictly secret. In spite OF
this many of the most important results
of the discussions leaked out and found
their way into print. Scott Smith, the
well-known Washington correspondent,
was known to be t~elegraphing the
news to a syndicate of newspapers, and
Secretary of State Hamilton Fish was
terribly worked up over the matter.
He brought several detectives from
New York to Washington, who were
unknown to the departments officials,
and placed them to shadow Smiths
house and office to ascertain, if pos
sible, who it was that was furnishing
him with the information. The vigils
were fruitless and the news continued
to be printed with daily regularity.
Unable longer to conceal his annoy
ance, the Secretary sent for Mr.. Smith
and told him that his course was un-
patriotic.
Nonsense said Smith; it is all
true, isn't ite 1t is news, and that is
what / am sent here to get But he
did not tell the Secretary, what was
the fact, that he regularly met a mem
Der of the commission every morning
at 10 o'clock, from whom he obtained
a detailed account of the previous
days proceedings, Finding that per-
suasion was useless, the Secretary
finally said:
Smith / have got a nice foreign
cousulship worth $4,000 a year which /
wish to offer you, and to offer which
was my main object in sending for
YOU
Can't accept il, Mr.. Secretary;
couldn't afford to do so.'

amazement, cant afford to accept a

NO, sir replied Mr.. Smith; Z

pen. To speak plainly, Mr.. Secretary,
| couldn't afford to take your place
and work for the salary you work for.
Mr.. Fish looked at Smith with
profound amazement." added Mr..
Coon, ''but his views of the value OF
the services of trained newspaper
writer's probably soon afterward I'M
derwent a change ."-New York Star.

Why They Had to Kill Another
Chinaman.

One of the best known mining
engineers in the United States, in fact
the man who built many big mines and
tunnels on the Pacific coast, and whom
we will call Smith for the sake of the
story, told the Casual Observer the
other day that while experimenting the
constructions OF a mine at Virginia City,
on which mostly Chinese labor was
employed, the foreman of one Of the
tunnels came to him one morning and
said: .Mr. Smith, a Chinaman was
killed this morning by a fall of rock in
the tunnel. Wen have to kill another
before night" why SOP" was the
inquiry in reply. We'll" said the
foreman, az he took a fresh chew OF
tobacco, tits easier to carry two dead
Cinnamon out Of camp than one"
The engineer got mad at this and pro-
hibited any reckless exposure OF life.
But sure enough before the night fell
another Chinaman had been gathered to
his fathers. The manner of carrying
the dead Cinnamon out OF camp was
TO hang one body on each side OF q

him of. one at his head and another at

for himself, and if he is modest, well

from society after a few brief plunges
into it. Yet, after all, hollow as society
is, in many professions it is necessary
for a young man to hold his W and

1t is also a relief to any N whose

oddities, and grown careless in their

know a few people, and to be sought at

Long ago Lord Chesterfield said to
his son: Your figure is like other
peoples; l hope you will take care to
dress so, too. Why then should you
be ashamed? Why not go into mixed
company as freely as into your

Vassal ID. PinkhAm, one of the most
"idey known men who ever resided in Au-
gusta, died at Belgrade yesterday morning of
'enile demenlia, aged about 76 years. Some
i've years ago he was injured by kick from
horse, which aggravated his trouble, and
he has been gradually growing weaker. In
July last he took his bed, and the first of
August was removed to Belgrade Depot.
where he remained up to the time of hi.
death. sister ministering At his bedside with
tender care and tboughtfulness.
Mr.. Pinkham was native of the town of
Belgrade and his father lived TO be over 100
years of age. He first came to Augusta in
1888, when young man, and commenced
his career by exhibiting moose in building
at the foot of Rhine's Hill, the animal being
visited by large number of citizens at that
time. We next hear of him running An
'hourly' between this city and Hallowell,
and when his vehicle was loaded with pas
sengers he would make the distance sfoot.
Beginning thus he continued running stage
lines, obtaining contracts and increasing his
routes until in 1856 he was the largest owner
of stages and stage roads in the State, and
more extensive than there ever was before or
has been since. At one time he operated a
line from Augusta to Calais, making daily
trips, and when the railroad terminus vas at
Waterville his coaches made four trips daily
between Bangor and Waterville. His routes
radiated from Aug I'la in every direction, in
Guiding the RockIand and Belfast lines and
his coaches for years were familiar objects to
Augusta people and residents of the sur
rounding country. In 1851 he owned the
steamer j. ID. Pierce which piled on the river
between Augusta and Bath, and yesterday we
saw one of the original tickets for single
passage between the two places Mr.. Pink
ham also built schooner which sailed to
southern ports. A few days ago the stages

Tribute to the Memory of Mrs. h. g.
Davis,

At the close of his sermon yesterday morn
w. Gwynne, referred to the death of the late
Mrs. B. G. Davis as follows;
cannot close this my brethren without
adding a word concerning one who, am sure
is in all our thoughts. How fully she felt
this truth of which have just been speaking,
her own unworthiness, and yet how full Of
love and good works WAS her life. 0, what
rebuke such lives are to the self-satlsied and
the worldly minded. 1t was truth she sought
about herself and not fslsehood. and that
truth taught her to say with all her acknowl-
edged goodness of heart and life,ss 1t teaches
us ALL 81 am an Improbable servant. 1t
was out of this self-dissatisfaction and not
out of self-content that sprung that life Of
love and devotion which this whole commu-
nitv has so fully recognized 1t was pro-
found humility and not a vain self-contidence
that brought forth such fruit 1t was on
knees bent in prayer in the closet and IN the
church and at Christ's holy altar, that has
won the grace that crowned her life here and
made her meet for the life eternal. How
ready she was always to go into the abode OF
poyertv and suffering and gladden. it by her
nresence, How the poor will miss her kind
ness, her brightness. her generous heart
How MANY such there are whose end mas oeeh
blest and comforted by her ministrations and
who have already risen to greet her IN that
holy land where now we are sure she rests
in peace. They" saith our Lord speaking
of lust such recipients of our bounty and our
love, "They shall receive their benetactors
into everlasting habitations." luke xvi-9.)
God grant US all. brethren, the grace to fol-
low her good example, grace to be humble
minded. grace to be self-forgetting. And
then will follow, then must follow the life
that compels the world to recognize 1t as
away far above its own level. as born from
above, not from beneath, born OF the doly
Ghost and not of earthly calculation born OF
God and surely receiving its reward IN the
attainment of Gods presence, frst IN fata-
disc and then, at the resurrection OF the
BODY. in Heaven, itself. blessed are the
