A Strange Theory.

posing as medical expert, but l have q
theory, founded more upon many practical
illustrations than upon science, that every
human body contains a certain amount Of
arsenic, which Immediately after death CON
centrates or crystalizes in the stomach This
theory is buttressed by the fact that, so far,
l have never known a body exhumed and
dissected for the purpose of satisfying inquiry
into the question of the cause of death in
which certain amount of arsenic was not
found

arrested and accused of having poisoned an
other man with strychnine, in which all the
evidence upon which the prisoner was held to
trial was based on the purchase by him of
strychnine, and then the results of post
norton examination revealed only traces of
arsenical poisoning. Were | a juryman in a

down his throat and used my own surgical

it in his mouth, placed more beside him, and

of a rifle and bullet whizzed by my ear.
Looking round, saw the smoke of the shot
drifting away from where my wounded man
lay, and noticed that he was quietly taking
aim at me again.
He had time to fire a second shot, which
also missed me, before l reached him, and
had no conjunction in driving the life out of
him with my bayonet, remarking to myself
as / took the weapon out of him for the last
time, 'You won't come that game any more,

OF this treacherous hate occurred. / myself

tians whom l caught in the act of firing at
our men after they had passed. To run the
bayonet into man who is down one feels TO

antly; but in such cases as / have described
it was a clear act of compulsory duty

One of the most interesting contributions
of Professor Nordenskjold to popular science
is his examination when about so degrees
north latitude, before reaching Parry's ISL
and, to the northwest of Spitzbergen-of the
snow which covered the icebergs and which
had come from still higher ATTITUDES. He
found it strewn with multitude Of minute
black particles, spread over the surface or
situated at the bottom of little pits, great
number of which were to be seen on the outer
layer of snow; many of such particles were
also lodged in the lower strata. The dust,
which became gray on drying, the professor
found to contain large proportion of metal
lie particles attracted by the magnet and
capable Of decomposing sulphate of copper
An observation made little later upon other
icebergs proved the presence of similar dust
in layer of granular crystalline snow stu
ated beneath stratum of light fresh snow
and another of hardened snow Upon analy
sis Professor Nordenskjold found this matter
to be composed in varying proportions OF
metallic iron, phosphorus, cobalt and frag
ments of datomace@. New York Telegram.

The Lebanon Democrat, a red hot
Baxter paper, says "The signs of
the times, as read by us, are that no
candidate now in the field has suffi-
cient strength to insure his nomina-
ton. We believe Mr.. Baxter has
exhibited the greatest strength SO
far, but should he fail ON the first
few ballots to develop enough
strength to nominate him, in our
humble judgment a deadlock will
eEsue, which will be terminated by
bringing in a compromise man, and,
as we have, intimated before, that
man will be Benton McMillin."

PRACTICABLE.
The Proposed Railroads Connect.
ing the Three Americas.
At Least So Says a Prominent
American Engineer

Who Has Spent Over Three Months in
Accommodating in Central America.
Physical Difficulties no Greater Than in
Amy Mountainous Country-Backed by
English Capital
CITY of MEXICO, May 3.-The desire
of the Pan-American congress for a
great international railroad line to con-
meet North and South America seems in
fair way of realization. The reconnois-
sances south from Pueblo, Mexico, to
Tehuantepec; then from the Guatemala
frontier through that republic to San
Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua as
far as Costa RIGA have been completed
by U. S. Ishham, the American engineer
who located the Maravatic and Iguar
railroad in this republic.
Mr. Isham has been absent from Mex
leo City three and half months, within
which time he has travelled $500 miles
He finds the proposed international line
practical. He commenced hisreconnois-
sances at Oaxaca, where the surveys
of construction had been made and
Travelled sonth and found a feast-
ible line from the Guatemala frontier,
where concessions for a railroad from
the Mexican government had already
been given, but the proposed interna-
tional road through Guatemala will hug
the Pacific slope, cutting the Guatemala
and San Jose and the Retaluleu and
Port Champerioo roads at right angles.
In San Salvador the Acajutla railroad
will be closed.
Mr.. Isham says the physical difficulties
to be overcome are no more than those
of the ordinary road in any mountainous
country. He recommends the building
of three-foOt or narrow-gauge line
south from Oaxaca to correspond with
the narrow-gauge system in Mexico. In
Costa RIGA the road must necessarily be
taken over the eastern slope, it offering
less difficulties to reach the isthmus and
connections with the South AmericaA
systems.
The company pushing the reconnois-
sance is English and has secured conces-
sions in the several states in Central
America through which the road is to
pass. It's operations have been kept
very quiet, and it has only been learned
that the engineers have been in the field
in Central America through my inter
view with Isham, who described the
country to be rich along the line of the
projected road.

Asbestos Mining.

Mining is carried on by cutting down the
hills of asbestos bearing serpentine, much as
a farmer cuts down a stack of hay or straw,
or by open quarrying on the level. The rock
is blasted out and the asbestos, separated
from the containing rock, is "cobbed," that
is, separated by hammering from inferior
foreign matter. This "cobbing" is COM
paratively easy matter in the Gaze of the
finer quality, as it usually separates readily
from the gangue, but in tie lower grades
much difficulty is experienced in separating
the fibrous matter from the non-ftbrous. Al
best there is great waste. Much of the as
bestos is in thin, narrow veins and is wasted,
as by the present mode OF operating it does
not pay to separate this from the ser
pentine. A machine that will enable these
narrow veins to be utilized is u desideratum

A Disturber of Party Harmony.

The GAINESVILLE TOBACCO LEAF
CHRONICLE says that the first move
"Mr. Patterson made was to disrupt
the party in his own county" If
you call working night and day to
take the administration of city offices
out of the hands of Mugwumps and
Republicans and put in the hands or
true blue Democrats disrupting the
party the Mr.. Patterson was guilty.
But down in this neck of the woods
but few count party fealty a crime
SCimit0y.
Party fealty and Mugwumps in
deed; we suppose if Mr.. Patterson
can by any means secure the endorse
ment of his county, he will claim the
right in the State Convention to
count 1l6 votes for himself from
Shelby county by reason of the very
large Democratic vote cast in the last
election for Gov. Taylor. Now we
would like for the esteemed Scimitar
to answer, was the large vote cast for
Taylor composed of Democrats,
Mugwumps and Republicans, Of
were they all clean upper case Josiah
Democrats? If not of the latter class
then your Uncle Josiah should not be
entitled to half 50 many votes in the
convention. This, however, was not
the point made by the LEAF CHRoN-
ICLE. The Scimitar admits that the
party is hopelessly divided in Shelby
county so far as Mr.. Patterson is
concerned, and that Mr.. Patterson
was instrumental in bringing about
the division, working night and day
for such q result, and there is no good
reason assigned for it; there being
no party question or issue involved,
while it must be admitted that just
as good Democrats as Mr.. Patterson
opposed the move, and just as able
leaders. Now, with the party thus
divided, could Mr.. Patterson carry
his own county if nominated, with
a strong Republican, such man as
w. r.. Moore, against him? We
think not, even if he had no other
sins to answer for for.

high character, above reproach
That we could point to him with
pride and say our Governor sis a
man." He should be thoroughly
imprcgnatcd with the doctrine that
this is not paternal Government,
but plain and simple Republican
Government, created by the people
and for the people. That the proper
ty Of the citizen belongs to the citi-
zen, and not to the Government :;
and the government cannot take it
except to protect it. That private
enterprise must be built by private
capital. He should be 50 identified
with the people that he would in
stinctiveiy fight their battles, and
use every effort to curtail the terrible
taxation with which the peo-
pie are now oppressed. We are
paying seven times more taxes
now than were paid in 1885,
when money was so abundant
that it could almost be gathered from
the trees. Taxes consume all the
