A Family Poisoned.

WILLS POINT Dec. IS. The family
of Mr.. Tisdale, living near here. while
on visit to Mr.. McDonald's family,
partook of some souse made of hogs
head, and on returning home Mrs.
Tisdalc was seized with violent symp-
toms of poisoning. Not knowing the
cause. the balance of the family ate
some of the sousc next morning and
in a few hours were likewise violently
attacked, and twas with great difficult
ty the family were saved.
The physicians think there is an ab-
MOI nal condition, in some unaccount-
able way, of the hogs head which pro-
duced this effect, as great care was
used in the preparation of the sonse.
The COMPRISING was done in carthen
vessels and nothing but the purest
vinegar used. This is the second case
of the kind that has occurred in Mr..
Tisdales neighborhood this season.
Mr.. MI. Monasco's family being the
other victims. Mr.. McDonald's tami-
" have not as yet experienced any bad
effects from the use of the souse, but
refrain from any further use Of IT,

The washington Iosl says 'h"'
COMPTROLLER Durham, of the treasury
department, is giving so much annoy
ance to the Uuited States Commits
sioners and United States marshals all
over the country by scrutinizing their
accounts in way in which they were
never scrutinized before, that strong
effort is being made by those concern
ed to have his absolute power as ac-
counting officer curtailed by establish"
ing right of appeal from his decl-
sions. At present if he disallows OF
suspcnds an account his decision is
final. A bill has been introduced III
congress in the interest ofthe aggrleV-
ed United States commissioners ana
marshals, providing that the matter
of accounts of officers who hold their
appointments under the department
ofjustice there shall be an appeal from
the decision ofthe comptroller to the
attorney general.
THE scare which our people expert
enecd few days ago over the report
that certain imported Jersey cattle
had died with plcuro-pneumonia turns
out to be unfounded. Drs. Paaren and
Hopkins. to whom this matter was
submitted for decision, have made
their report and find no such disease.
The moral of this tale is that people
should not declare something fact
when they are not competent to judge.
There may be motives for such reports
which would not be conducive to the
welfare of the general public, If in
dulgcd in to any great extent. In this
case. however, we do not attribute any
wrong motives to the gentlemen who
first made the examinations of the
diseased cattle. Ii was an error OF
the head, not the heart.

Correspondence in color with the
general hue of the surrounding medium
is especially common wherever a single
tone predominates largely in the wider
aspect of nature. Arctic animals, as
everybody knows, are always white.
Ptarmigan and Northern hares put on a
snowy coat among the SHOWS of winter.
The monumental stoat needlessly
transforms himself ON the approach of
cold weather into the expensive and
much prosecuted ermine. Imagine for
a moment the chances of life possessed
by bright scarlet animal among the
snowfields of Greenland, and one can
see at once the absolute necessity for
this unvarying protective coloration.

fashionable witness of external nature.
So. too, in the district every bird, lizard,
grasshopper, butterfly and cricket is
uniformly dressed in light sand color.
The intrusive red or blue butterfly from
neighboring fiowery fields gets prompt
" eaten up by the local bird, whose
plumaTe he can not distinguish from
the sand around it. The intrusive
scarlet or green bird from neighboring
forests finds the bread taken out of his
mouth by the too severe competition of
his desert brethren. who can steal upon
the native grasshoppers unperceived,
while he himself acts upon them like a
red danger signal, and is as sedulously
avoided by the invisible insects as if he
meant Intentionally to advertise in fam
ing posters his own hostile and destruc-
tive purpose. In short, sand-haunting
creatures are and always must be nee
eSsarily sand-colored. A few tropical
fiat fish, however. living as they do
among the brilliant corals, pink sea
anemones. gorgeous holothurians and
banded shells of the Southern seas, are
beautifully and wildly spotted and
colored with the liveliest patterns. In
this case the necessity for protection
compells the fish to adopt the exactly
opposite statistics. All those
young beginners who happen to show
any tendency TO plain brow coloring
are sure to be recognized as fish, and get
promptly eaten up among their bri ght
surroundings; only those which look
more like the neighboring inedible and
singing nondescripts stand any chance
of escaping with their precious lives.

Covered yards possess one advan-
tage in regard to the smaller consump-
ton of food by animals that are covered
than by animals that are not. The cold
wind. which causes loss of the heat of
the body of an animal. necessitates that
animal consuming more food to regain
such heat: but the wet which falls upon
any animal requires a still much larger
amount of heat in order TO convert that
moisture into vapor. Under a covered
yard an animal is protected not only
from cold winds. but also from the rain.
and an immense amount of food is thus
saved. Journal.
