AN EXPERIMENT IN FLAX GROW

has been received by j. II. McAllister
of the firm of McAllister & Bentz. from
a gentleman in New Yolk who is in

Ireland and Scotland, and who is mem
ber of large importing house in New
York city. This gentleman has been
in correspondence with Mr.. McAllster
for some time i'll regard to the adaptable
ity Of the soil and climate Of this section
to the growing of flax and the favorable
reports which Mr.. McAllster, who is
himself throughly Informed on flax grow

to send on a quauity of seed to be used
in tests the coming season.
The seed now in MIR. McAllister S

them toa number Of intelligent and
trustworthy farmers who will agree to
make an experiment are satisfactory, to
encourage the spread of the industry
with view to establishing mill here
somo day. Mr.. McAllistcr will be glad
to have applications for the seed from
farmers who care to give them q trial
and he will be ready to inform any whc
call for that purpose on the details o
the cultivation of the plant.
Those who know s)mcthing ahou

OF 2Ol2 Parrish street, wife of Police
man Snyder of the Ninth District, re.
Gently vomited reptile over two feet
long, which resembled lizard. She
had been suffering for ten years, and
physicians have been unable to afford
her any relief.
During 1871 she came home from
party one evening almost overcome
with heat and feeling very thirsty.
She went to the hydrant in the ward
aud drew oupful cf water and began
to drink, when suddenly she became
aware that something other than water
was passing down her throat. As no
bad results followed, the incident was
almost forgotten until January, 1878.
One night sho awoke with her mouth
wide open ard something creeping out
OF 1t, but before her husband, who haG
been awaked by her struggles, could
sieze the reptile, it had drawn itself back
into the throat and out of sight. Mrs.
Snyder at this time was healthy
woman and nearly 14O pounds, She
soon began to decline ia health aud
lost daily until her weight was reduced
to ninety pounds. She had an enor-
nous appetite and no amount of food,
however large could satisfy her cravings
Tor food. TO eat bread or any doughy
substance would make her deatbly sick
for several days.
For mounths she tasted nothing but
meat and milk. Her family physician.
Dr. Miller, thought that dyspepsia was
the cause OF her sickness, aud prescrib
ed accordingly. The state OF affairs
continued for ten years. The reptile
had grown to considerable size and
strength, and was still growing, and her
death was soon expected. She had
never tasted beer uutiI the early part of
last month, when an uncomfortable de-
sire for that beverage solved her. Off
Ger Snyder was surprised when he came
at night and his wife asked that beer
be procured for her. lie granted the
request, and with happy results. The
sight OF the liquor made her sick. but
nevertheless, believing that should be
taken, she drank several glasses full,
and in few minutes, was seized with
violent hts of vomiting. Feeling faint
she turned very white and faiuted.
Snyder placed her in bed, aud in the
morning she felt wonderfully improved.
On looking in the bowl in which she had
'omited the night bolore, she discov-
cred curious creature with the head

merely menial ones at that, and
they had the additional torment
of seeing one oftheir race who became
a Democrat pumped into a good fat

leading race newspaper of the West,

Il. Cooper, one of the most prominent
colored men in the country, asserts this
very plainly: 1t says in yesterdays issue:
