POISON RINGS.
How the Italians Used to Get Rid of Peo
pie They Disliked.


In Italy the poison ring was carried to
the perfection Of malicious imagining. The
"Anello della morte' was occasionally re-
sorted to as a means of putting an enemy
out of the way. A hollow point in the
bezel, worked by a spring, communicated
with the receptacle behind for the poison
in such away that its villainous wearer
could, in giving his adversary a hearty
grasp of the hand, infict mortal scratch.
The point was fashioned to look like an
ornament. So deadly and enduring was
the poison contained in these rings that
some twenty or more years ago death was
nearly occasioned by handling one un-
Willingly. A cgrio fancier was turning
over gems in a shop in Paris, when he fell
fainting, and was with difficulty restored
1t was found that he had been wounded by
poison ring.
The instrument of destruction was also
worn in perilous times, in order that the
owner might commit suicide rather than
fall into an enemy's hands. Another kind
was furnished at the back with slide,
which could be slipped back by the
the wine he offered to hated guest. This
kind was affected by Cesar Borgia, whose
own signet ring bore an inscription little
suited to his character "Fais ce que dois,
avien que pourra" Another form of poi
son ring was the one which had for its
bezel the key to casket. The wearer
would hand his ring in confidential man
ner to visitor, and desire him to hand
him some article from his Jewel box. The
key, in being turned in a somewhat stiff
lock, would give the unwary confident a
prick, which had for him fatal results

esteemed contemporary, The Meridian Nous,

OF the negro, tho mischief attending which,
II II were possible, II freely coniesses
when il proposes the following as rem.
cdy for the evils that are inseparablc from
the active participanco Of 30 much crude
and raw material in tho political affairs Of
the South:
Believing the states have the right to define the
frnnchlsc. aud who shall be eligible to Office. 10 far
II concerns the regulation Of their own affairs,
The N,trs has suggested that an organic law should
be- embodied Ia their several Cousttutons, which
shall prohibit the negro from holding Office. aud
thinking That this would have great tendency 10
eliminate them from politics Il has advocated that
proposition.
This is now proposition, but we fear is
as impracilcablc as Acknowledgement. Tho
right TO vote and hold Office go together,
and We doubt II they can be separated,
even in the person Of the negro, who, so
far as the Republican party is concerned,
ia practically denied anything like fair
participation In Office, considering that he
is a slave to that party, and has been over
