THE DEADLY ELIXIR.

Hugh Myers, Friends Claim That His Death Has Been Caused By a Dose of It.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Last Wednesday Dr. Hamilton A. Leach of this city injected twenty drops of Brown Sequard elixir, prepared according to the great phy- sician's formula from material procured from slaughtered ram, into the left arm of Hugh Myers, a man in poor health, about fifty years old.
 No beneficial or peculiar results were ob- served until Friday morning, when he com- plained of chills and fever. This developed, bis attending physician says, into typhoid fever, and caused his death last night.
 Some of Myers' relatives and neighbors think he would still be alive had he not talk en the elixir.
 A coroner's inquest and post-mortem ex. animation will probably be held to deter- mine the primary cause of the mans death.
 Oliver WendM Holmes, Birthday.
 BOSTON, Aug. 2o.-Oliver Wendell Holmes is quietly passing his eightieth birthday at his summer home, Beverly Farms. Letters and telegrams of congratulatien have poured in upon him from all over the country, and
 
 gentlemen who called to felicitate him upon the occasion.
 Many beautiful floral gifts were sent to the doctor, and the house is filled with sweet smelling plants and beautiful flowers. He also received very handsome remembrance in solid silver, gold-lined loving cup of beautiful design from personal friends, whose names Dr. Holmes desired should remain private. This souvenir gave him great pleasure. Dr. Holmes stated that he had re- oeived short personal note from his friend Whittier, in which the latter merely ex- pressed his regard and his regret that his present ill health would prevent his being present in person to grasp his friend by the hand and tender his congratulations. The doctor expressed his sorrow to hear that MT. Whittier was not we'll. The doctor greets each of his friends personally with cordial grasp of his hand and a cheery greeting, ex- pressing his great pleasure at their coming. His manner is as vivaoious, his step as elas- tic and his eyes as bright and merry az they have ever been these many years back. Bar ring very slight difficulty with his hearing the doctors powers are unimpaired.

THE EXODUS QUESTION

The Baptist ilot, a newspaper,
published as the "nrgan of the Col,red
Baptists of North Carolina" at W ,,on,
edtorially says:
The cuIored exodus from this State
is assuming gigantic proporticns, and
more than ten thousand have recently
left to seek new homes in the tar South
and West. Agents are employed to
go from place to place, and induce the
colored people to leave, promising them
better situations and homes elsewhere.
We have not word to say against
any mans efforts to letter his condition
but we fear that the ''prouli>ed lana
held out to our people away South is
not 50 productive of milk and money as
agents tell them it is. If they are
gong to Mississippi expecting to find
the law more equitably administered
they will certainly be mistaken. 1t is
certainly hard State on the colored
man.
The soil may be more fertile than
our soil, yet it is owned by the whites,

chance to get it. We disapprove of
the general emigration scheme. and
think 1t detrimental ID the good Of the
people. The best way for a ccloreu
man to get recognition and good
home is to get education. wealth self
respect and manhood there will be no
trouble to get men to respect you.
But If after deliberation, considera-
ton. YOU conclude that some other sec
tion of this coun ry offers you better
advantages for social, material and
religious development, and you can
offord to migrate without serious disad-
vantage to yourself and family, you
ought to accept your new home: But
leaving, not knowing whittier you are
going and scarcely nothing of the peo-
pie, is bad policy; and leaving Nor h
Carolina to go to another Southern
State seems to us like going out of
purgatory into torment

A RELIGIOUS CARD PLAYER.

A soldier named Richard Lee, was
taken before the Magistrate at Glasgow
for playing cards during divine services
The account is thus given in the En-
glish Journal
The sergeant commanded the soldiers
at the church, when the parson has
read the prayers. he took the text
Those who had Bible took it out, but
this soldier had neither Bible nor
Common Prayer Book, but pulling out
pack of cards he spread them out
before him. He looked first at one
card and then at another. The sergeant
of the company saw him and said:
Richard, put up those cards.
"Never mind that" said Richard.
After the services were over the Con-
stable took Richard, prisoner, and car
ried him before the Mayor.
"Well," said the Mayor, what have
you brought the prisoner here for?''
"For playing cards in church "
"Well, Soldier, what have you to
say for yourself?''
Much. sir | hope''
Every good, if not l will punish you
severely"
II have BEEN" said the soldier,
''about six weeks on the march, and
have had neither Bible nor Common
Prayer Book, | have nothing but a
pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy
your worship of the purity of my in
tention."
Spreading the cards out before the
Mayor, he began with the ace.
when I see the ace it reminds me
that there is but one God.
When [ see the deuce it reminds NE
of the FatE er ana Son.
The tray reminds me of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
The four reminds me of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and john. the four Evan
gelists that preached.
The FIVE reminds me of the five wise
virgins that trimmed their lamps; there
were ten, but five were wise and five
were foolish, and were shut out
The six reminds me that in six days
God created heaven and earth.
The seven reminds me that on the
seventh day God rested from the great
work which he had made and hallowed
it.
The eight reminds me of the eight
righteous persons that were saved
when God destroyed the world; Noah,
his wife, his three sons and their wives.
The nine reminds me of the nine
epers that were cleansed by our Saviour

THE TONGUE.

1.-The boaeless tongue, SO small and
weak,
Can crush and kill, declared the Greek.
THE tongue destroys a greater horde, y
The Turk asserts, than does the sword. "
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
A lengthy tongue-an early death. "
Or sometimes takes this form instead,
Don't let your tongue cut off your
head "
THE tongue can speak word whose
speed"
Says the Chinese, 'outstrips the steed. y
While Arab sages this impart,
The tongue s great storehouse is the
heart
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung.
Though feet should slip ne er let the
tongue
The sacred writer crowns the whole,
Who keeps his tongue doth keep his
soul.'

is that so much is heard in praise of

An interesting case is on trial in
the United States district court in
Portland. W. F. Owens, the Douglas
county man who failed and commit
ted suicide some time ago, had raised
a large amount of money on bonds
with well-to-do farmers of Douglas
county as security. A $4,000 bond
is sued on and seven or eight signers
are fighting the case, claiming that
they never did sign the bond, but that
the signatures are forgeries. Some
of the most famous experts on hand
writing have declared on the stand
the signatures are genuine. Gumpel,
who was an expert in the Sharon-Hill
case, says that no man could success
fully initiate so many different hand
writings at one time.
