Did He Eat Too Much!
Baltimore American.

Mince pie is one of the relics Of the
semiharbarous times. Hot--well, it
can absorb and conceal more heat
and keep it longer than any other
substance or combination of substan-
ces ever invented. And to digest 1t
would throw saw-mill out of gear.
1t is rank poison. a mince pie was
never known TO be off the Ere. 1t
can gather in more heat to the square
inch and then can be packed or con-
densed into the same space anywhere
else and project it with more cunning
than a live politician. Unless you eat
it with thermometer you had better
keep it on ice for week previous to
using. Otherwise the coolest. looking
piece will slip as innocently into your
mouth as if it had been reduced to the
most comfortable temperature, but
when once in, it fairly bursts into
flames and stews The very water out
of your eyes
But this is not all the meanness OF
mince pie, After it has burned and
tortured its victim into taking pledge

fine work on the digestive organs and

In the case of a horse, the frs
stages of hydrophobia are manifested
a. from fifteen TO ninety days after
the animal has been bitten. He gen
orally shows a decided aversion to
water, not from the generally accept
ed theory that it is one of the delusive
forms of mania, but from the fact
that one OF the consequences of the
disease is that an exceedingly painful
spasm Of the throat causes the animal
to suffer pain and eventually throws
him into convulsons. The sufferer

IT has long been known that ship
pers are unwilling to carry large
quantities of zinc dust in their vessels
owing to the danger of its getting
moist and becoriug heated to q
dangerous extent. Mr Greville Will
liams, f. r. s., has recently made
some researches which throw light
on this matter. He finds that wetted
zinc dust, after drying, gives of near
ly double the hydrogen that unwetted
dust gives. Hydrogen is absorbed
from moist atmosphere at moder-
ate temperature by zinc dust. Il has

A QUEER PEOPLE.
another.

Virginians are queerish if not queer
people. Virginia is respectable old State,
though, like hill of growing potatoes, the
best part of her is under ground. But as the
mother of Presidents, the sometime home of
Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas, and the
State that produced the cherry-tree that made
George Washington immortal, she is entitled
to due respect and tender regard. Still, Vir-
ginians are queerish. They get so lawfully ex-
cited and worked up over such small matters.
Perhaps this is because they are primitive
sort of people and easily excited, or it may be
because current events are rare there and
when anything does happen the people invest
it with extraordinary Importance, because it
happens in Virginia This is the mark of
provincial people. Instance the clatter that
has been made about the Cluverius murder at
Richmond. There is nothing in the case nor
in either OF the actors in the tragedy to give it
special interest, much less to invest it with
national Importance A common place
young man murdered his cousin.
commonplace young woman, to whom
he was engaged, because he wanted
to be rid of her and marry another young
woman. Such tragedies unfortunately happen
almost every week somewhere, and in North
ern communities no attempt is made to invest
them with peculiar or picturesque interest.
Not so in Virginia. A common tragedy oc-
curing in that State becomes a romance.
The people take sides and are worked up to
white heat Longreports of the trial were tele-
graphed from Richmond, in the evident belief
thata Virginia murder trial has far more general
interest than one in New York or Indiana.
After the murderer was convicted and sem
fenced, occasional bulletins were sent out as
to his health, appetite, etc. AS the time for
his execution approached the bulletins were
changed to relate to the chances of the
Governors reprieving him, with the opinion
of the factions pro and con. And now the
Governor has reprieved him, and patient
public will have to stand the strain several
weeks longer. II all murders were exploited
