ALLEGED DEMOCRATIC ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY

A Fire EXtinguisher.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
An intelligent physician said to me few
days ago: II think can give you good item, a"
and replied that was always on the lookout
for useful information. He then said that he
had studied the subject very carefully and was
convinced that it would be well for every
house to keep its own fire extinguisher, and it
could be easily done. 1t would certainly be
invaluable to persons living in the country, and
far removed even from neighbors. The doc
tor then told me that he would give me the
exact recipe now used in the fire extinguishers
being offered for sale. Take twenty pounds of
common salt, and ten pounds of sal ammoniac
(muriate of ammonia, to be had at any drug
gist,) and dissolve in seven gallons of water
When dissolved it can be bottled and kept in
each room of the house, to be used in an emer-
gency. In case of fire occurring, one or two
bottles should be immediately thrown with
force into the burning place so as to break
them, and the fire will certainly be extin-
guished. This is an exceedingly simple pro-
cess. and certainly worth a trial. We give it.,
hoping it may prove successful to any one who
may take the trouble to try it,

AssAssINATINa A CoNTRAcToR.-A dispatch to
the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette from Beaver
Falls, Pa, says: Saturday night as John Kelly,
contractor, was entering the gate at his
home, accompanied by his brother, two sharp
reports of a pistol were heard. Kelly, with a
groan, fell back into his brothers arms, shot
through the right breast. He was taken into
the house and physicians sent for. The doc
tors have failed to find the bullet, and at this
writing Kelly's condition is precarious. Who
shot him is not publicly known. 1t is said that
Kelly knows, but will say nothing. After the
shots were fred two men were seen to run
hastily down side street and disappear in the
darkness.".

The Nuisance of Royal Surgeons.

From the London Truth.
The duke Charles Theodore, brother of the
empress Of Austria, is both oculist and surgeon,
and is very skillful, but his fondness for
the knife is not appreciated at the Vienna and
Munich hospitals, for whenever he operates all
the regular arrangements are upset, the whole
staff is required to be in attendance on him: he
must always be respectfully addressed as
"Your Royal Highness," and strict etiquette is
observed, all of which is decidedly nuisance
When the duke is at Vienna he often passes
the whole day in the general hospital, and if
there are any arms or legs to be cut OFF he
hastens joyfully to the work. Duke Charles
zeal may possibly be moderated by his access
sion to the Bavarian estates of his father, Duke
Max, who died the other day. He is married
to a cousin of the king of Portugal
