Prnssic Acid for nnrs.

At the dog pound in Newark the other day
nearly 100 dogs were killed with prussic acid.
Each dog was caught, his mouth pried open,
and a liberal dose Of the deadly poison
poured into his throat. It killed in from
lif cen to thirty seconds in every case. The
strongest dog fell over on his side in twelve
seconds, and afterwarl made only few con
vulsive movements. Tho poisoning was done
in the yard in the rear of the pound after
two of the attendants were nearly prostrated
sy the fumes of the acid indoors Hardly a
dozen Of the 800 dogs impounded showed in
dications of good blood. Among those slain
were pug, black setter and pure bred
pointer, which was emaelated and evidently
broken down in health. He took his poison
without struggle, licked his chops as
though he liked the flavor, and in six seconds
fell over and convulsively moved his legs.
In seventeen seconds he was motionless and
dead.-New York Sun.

Ex-Governor Alonzo B. Cornell is inter
ested largely in tin ores dug uD at the Black
Hills, and his Broadway Office is Uttered with
samples, rough and refined. He lately ac-
quired a quarry Of stone in the Catskills.
which promises to prove more than gold
mine. It is remarkable that, rich as it is. it
never was worked, but lay unknown in the
hands Of some one who evidently did not ap-
preciate its value. Thers are acres and acres
Of it, with sandstone, granite and black
marble in large quantities. There is also a
fourth stone known to be durable and Curl
ously beautiful, because Of shells mixed in
with the body Of the stone 1t polishes up
handsomely. But the handsome stone Of the
quarry is the black marble Nothing equal
to it has been discovered on the continent.
and it is surpassed only by the black marble
Of Italian quarries. 1t is susceptible Of a
lustrous polish, and its grain is SO fine that
for the sculptor it affords good opportunity.

Betting ore a crImlnal,s Fate.

The sports are certainly irrepressible. Now
that there is no chance of Maxwell escaping
the gallows, one would suppose there would
be cessation Of bets based on his fate. But
nothing like that can deter the sports from
laying wagers. The news Of the final de
cision was hardly received before one of
them was out forming books on the proba-
bilities Of how the little chloroformer would
meet his fate. A number of bets have been
taken. Some Of them say that he will be
stoical until the critical moment, and then
sink Others that he will go through the
trap without displaying the least concern
Still others contend thar he will have to be
carried to the gallows, and, in short, the
combinations are legion. Some have money,
and post it to back their belief, that his neck
will be broken. Others that strangulation
will take place; and have been offered to
z that he would break the rope three times
and finally escape. He has been so tenacious
Of life that was afraid to risk it.-Charles
Snow in be-Democrat.

The stnrn Of n KYerennlf

A noble gentleman Of Brittany, In high
favor with the king. married a lovely
lady. There would have been no limit to
their happiness but that three days out Of
every week the gentleman mysteriously
disappeared When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was col demned to
assume VOLTS shape. The lady was
sore troubled and determined 10 rid her
self Of so objectionable husband. Learn
ing that If the lords clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was Ell scted be
could not resume his human lLape, she
and a false cavalier who loved her
watched him and got possession Of the
castof garments. AS from thai LAY the
husband was no more seen she arried
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way 10 him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart was
touched. He spared it and brought it
uOult W LIS COuII. Inc animal proven
gentle and tractable and became a great
favorite But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with wild cry and bit him severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf few at her, too, and bit off her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason Of the VOLTS
grudge TO the lady and her husband.
And, being threatened with imprison-
ment, the lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew. and when the clothes Of her
former husband were given to the wolf
he was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children. all the
