chronic sufferer with neuralgia the hnb-
it of taking narcotic is a fatal one. 1t
relieves the pain for the time being, but
at each attack of the disease a larger
dose becomes necessary, and SO In few
years the cumulative effect results in
death. Far better is it, if possible, to
endure the pain, or the slight relief af-
forded by outward applications, than to
contract SO dangerous a habit as the
taking of drug that must, in shor.
time, either kill the body or destroy the
the mind.
Fashionable women are sometimes
said to indulge largely in the use OF
hypnotics, and it is not to be wondered
at if they do. A certain amount of
sleep is required to give them strength
to go through their numerous engage
ments during the fashionable season,
and if excitement keeps them awake
they must take something to induce
sleep. A few drops of paregoric on a
lump of sugar will quiet a troublesome
cough, and will help the patient to an
easy sleep. Many persons who find the
taste of paregoric pleasant, and the effect
comfortable, will continue to take until
the habit has SO grown upon them that
they will consume quarts of it every
week, and live in dreamy world OF
their own.
Opium is said to give the most plea
surable sense of general comfort and
well-being, and the taste is not I'M
pleasant, in fact it is far more palatable
than choral, which has burning taste.
But new hypnotic called sulfonal is
tasteless, and, so far as known, it pro-
duces no bad effects and does not seem
to create desire for its repeated use.

A Canine Monomaniac.

In an uptown residence of some fash
ionable pretensions there is little dog
who is of such an esthetie turn of mind
that he has become infatuated with the
flowers in the design of the parlor car
pet, says the Philadelphia Record. The
little fellow is very pretty skye terrier,
and was introduced into the household
about three months ago rs an animated
plaything for the little daughter of the
family. When he was first allowed to
frequent the parlor he Immediately took
fancy to the flowers in the carpet, and
finally settled upon one which suited his
taste to ct. ;" The more he saw of it
the greater became his fascination, until
finally he could not beattracted from it.
Caramels and other toothsome morsels
were looked upon by him with disdain
eminently BETTING puny canine of his
high social standing and ready discern
ment of the beautiful in art. He would
rub his black little nose against the
flower, then wriggle back short dist
ance and jump at it. When he became
convinced that the flower was not afraid
of him, he paved it with his little claws
and wore n hole almost through the car
pet The head OF the house thought
that this was something new in diseases
of dogs, and sent to well-known scient-
list in dog lore, who pronounced it to be
one OF the queeresl manias he had ever
seen in an animal.
A few days ago the idea Of presenting
the dog with real rose-which was the
flower that appeared in the design of tho
carpet-occurTed to the head of the
house and lie took few Of them homo
one evening. The little terrier looked
at them in acurious way ut first and then
Mt the flower in the carpet, and finally
made dash at the real flowers and tore
them into shreds, after which he return
ed to the unreal article.
At one time during the course of his
lovc-making, when it was found that he
would destroy that portion of the carpet
with which he was infatuated, he was
taken away and locked in room for two
DAYS, but he refused to take the most
tempting food, and seemed to be pining
away until he again was allowed in the
parlor He is there now, and is likely
to remain until his death or tho cure of

was pretty dark by that time, and Mr..
Woodcock, who had been badly bruised
by the bear, and whose face had been
considerably scratched in the briers,
picked up what was left of the injured
bag, mounted the horse, and rode home.
Little Josh had got there before him,
and had sneaked into the house with his
tail between his legs, the bear having
frightened him so much that he couldn't
be got to leave the house for three days.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Woodcock
and Giles Gooderich, a neighbor, went
to where the dead bear lay. In the
course Of half an hour they found her
nest, and in it lay two tiny cubs snug
and warm, but very hungry. They took
the cunning little fellows home with
them, fed them milk from bottle, and
kept them where it was warm, and at last
accounts the cubs were oil right. Mr..
Woodcock means to keep the old stallion
till death takes him away.

Chauncey Depew Classified.

Chnuncey Mitchell Depew, President
of the New York Central, sat in his lib
rary one day last week, talking to a del
egation of railroad men who had called
upon him, when they heard terrible
clatter ON the piazza The noise in
creased. The children's voices drowned
the silvery, ripping conversational
tones of Chauncey. The guests first
smiled, then frowned. Mr.. Depew Was
pleased with their smiles but annoyed
at their frowns. So he arose and said:

noise must stop"
Mr.. Depew went outside, and to his
surprise found his coachman's children
missing old Nick. They paid but little
attention to him, however, and his pres
ence did not lessen their chatter. Grow

Fatality of the Fidelity Bank Fail
ure.


1t would seem as though kind of
grim fate hung over everybody connec-
ted in any way with the unfortunate FL
deity bank of Cincinnati, either with
its failure II couple of years ago or the
subsequent proceedings affecting it. 1t
was something like what has been called
"Guiteau's curse, /" that is supposed by
some to impend over the personages
participating in the trial of the Presi-
dents assassin, though in the case of
the Fidelity bank no one appears to
have strewn any curses around promis-
cuously. In the first place, Benjamin
Il. Hopkins, the president of the bank,
who was sentenced to seven years inn
prisonment and recently pardoned,
died few days after his release. i. J..
Harper, the vice president, was given a
ten years sentence and went insane
suicide during the trial. Edward Hicks,
clerk in the bank, died shortly after
the trial. @. A. Hinch, another clerk,
broke his leg during the trial. James
Siefert, the bank janitor, who carried
the books of the institution to and from
the court house each day during the
trial, ran directly in front of a moving
locomotive one day and was badly hurt.
Joseph Harrison, the Office boy of the
bank, was accidentally shot in the eye
during the trial. The mother of J. X.
Vowel, n clerk, died during the trial.
G.. r. Ewes the secret service officer who
did considerable work in the conviction
OF the bank officers, has died since the
trial. Edwin Watson, lawyer sent out
by the Attorney General to take part in
the proceedings, dropped dead in his
hotel in Cincinnati during the trial.
The father of United States District
Attorney Burnett died the night after
the trial, as did also the wife of +. N.
Hays, the bank expert. The wife of Il.
W. Kittridge, counsel for the bank re-
ceivers, died during the trial, and the
wife of Judge Sage, who presided, was
taken so seriously i'll during the pro-
ccedings that the trial had to be post
poncd ten days. Josie Holmes, who
figured conspicuously in the bank
affairs, was let off without sentence, and
is now learning to be a typewriter.

A Bath of Blood for Illegal Voters.

A recently retold story Of the manner
of the poet Poe's death has revived in the
recollection of men who lived in Balti-
more at the time the scoop" wasa feature
in the political contests in that city some
interesting incidents. The scoops" were
established few days before the day set
for an election. Cellars were preferred
because they were more convenient. To
get victim into an upstairs room was
difficult, but to stop man on the street
and invite him to saw and split load Of
wood, get him to carry in log and then
turn the lock on him was simple. The
wood was taken to another house and a
Waterman waited for new victim to
take his only log iuto prison with him.
On election day these prisoners We're
piled with liquor, and sometimes with
opium and liquor, as Poe was, and were
then carried from polling place
to polling place, voting at as
many as they visited. Mr.. Loughran
and Mr.. Roose, two former Baltimoreans
who have lived in Washington for TWEEN
ty-five years, say that the system, which
was practised by both parties, was still
in vogue thirty years ago. They both
that was long attached to Baltimore, and
that has undoubtedly given the city the
reputation, in the North, of being one of
the slough" ones of the continent. One
part of Baltimore, considerably elevated,
and inhabited largely by butchers, was
known as slaughter House Hill. The
butchers were sensitive about the intru-
sion upon their hill of repeating voters,
and they resolved upon attemptinga he
role cure of the evil. They set up, near
the polling places, anumber of half hogs
heads, which they filled with blood.
Upon the appearance of the first sus-
pected intruder from the lower level,
MS soon as he had voted, he was seized by
a half dozen stalwart butchers and
ducked in one of the "blood tubs" With
his face and figure reeldng with gore he
was permitted to go, and in that CHASTITY
condition he was driven down into the
city to tell his story and furnish n warn
ing for would-be intruders who contem-
plated visiting Slaughter House Hill.
The blood tubs served the purpose of the
butchers, but the name of "blood-tub"
left the hill and attached itself to the
whole body of Baltimore roughs. There
has not been blood tub set up for pre-
venting repeating for thirty years or
more, but when the Massachusetts
troops were attacked in passing through
Baltimore in April, 1861, the reports of
the Northern papers generally spoke of
the assault as having been instigated
and supported by the Baltimore Blood
Tubs.-Ne,o York Times.

The savior's Chance Death-Head.

A curious incident occurred few
days ago. While Mrs. Oliver Bacon
was asserting and dividing her collection
of minerals and curios, gathered during
her eight years stay in Europe, prepar-
atory to presenting a portion of them to
the Young Mems Christian Association,
she came across two small bits of rock
from the mountain overlooking Obera-
mugan, called IN German kofel. Turn
ing each piece under a strong light, in
order to decide which should be given
the Young Mems Christian Association,
suddenly the death-head of Christ APP
peared, distinctly as though carved ont
of the rock. The dropping mouth and
closed eyes are perfect. Mrs. Bacon has
had this in her possession since Septem-
Der 10, 1880, the day utter witnessing
the Passion play, when she picked it up
in the path ascending the mountain.
She never before saw the profile. She
intends having it photographed.
She takes great pleasure in showing it
to the incredulous. A few days ago a
clergyman was surprised at the strange
resemblance to death-head. -Attanta

mencing TO take the Compound, this unpleas-

appeared, and has never returned; nay appetite
which had been very poor, was soon restored
to full measure, and by the action of the Com
pound upon my impoverished blood. my rheu-
maiism gradually yielded, and in month bad
entirely disappeared. In fact. from the first
taking of the Compound my improvement in
every respect was rapid and constant and

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

MONDAY, fcDruhTy ll-P.m'
IL was generally expected that stocks wouiu
sell of to-day, and when, after an Indifferent
opening the price of Chicago, Burlington ana
Quincy rapidly declined, there was no serious
disapnointment. The first explanation of the
weakness in this stock was furnished, perhaps
naturally, by Chicago, which suggested that
Nebraska and other States might insist on tarlh
NJ railroad rates similar TO that in Iowa. The
second explanation, which was followed by
fresh decline, came from Boston in the publication
OF the net earnings for December. IL is worthy
OF notice, however, that nearly the whole of the
loss reported is due TO the unexplained increase
in operating expenses. The decline in Burlington
and Quincy was offset by the advance in Union
Pacific, which started upward from the very open
ing, and later by the rapid rise in Oregon Short
Line which is controlled by the Union Pacific
