a Peculiar Death,

A man named Reilly or O'Reily, died
on the 26th, on Soledad street, under,
what appears to be, suspicious cir
Gums stances. He was seen few hours
before death under the influence of an
opiate, but as he was an opium eater
this was not thought to be of any con-
sequence. Gum opium was by his
bedside.
Reilly was % years of age, and came
to this city from Topeka, Kansas,
whittier his remains have been
shipped. The certificate states that he
died from morphinism, and while all
may be 80. K" it seems to be a case
in which further investigation should
have been made.
The deceased it is said was attend
ed by DR.. Hamilton, but DR.. Johns
note of the case, after simply casual
observation in which he did not of
ficia5e as physician, is all the profess
sional evidence given on the subject.

Hyphenated Ryder-Taylor and the
equally roseate alderman from close
to frejole town, Gallagher, are notable
punsters; the first 1 believe was the
originator of call-again and the second
of probably in a spirit of bitterness
of gall-lager. What queer freaks
I fancy takes some times. But is French
really a candidate for mayor?
Since Herbert Meyer has quit

and Northern portions Of the Dark Con-
tinent. OF course such people us Zulus
and Kalflrs are simply regarded as fur

since the awkward meeting with those
inconsiderate people, the Beers, who
had the impoliteness TO get the best OF

The army and navy must make some
show for the enormous expense the
government is ut to maintain them.
New great guns and small arms are be-
ing introduced, and experiments, very
much to the discomfort OF some weak
nations, must be made in order to test
them thoroughly. The perfccting need

begun in order to find out the weak and

some favorite officers with an oppor-

cause it was considered time to make
British arms felt in some quarter OF tho
world. The result was hardly satis-
factory in one sense, but it was FORUM
ately discovered that the side arms fur
