POISONOUS FLOWERS.
eantifnl Greenhoase Plant which II
Possessed OF ToxlcAl Qualities

~ Beautiful Greenhouse Plant which Il
Possessed OF ToxIcAl QeAlitIcs-
The poisoning OF several greenhouse
workmcu by contact with some green
house plant was noticed in our columns
the other day, says the New York Sun.
The nam of che plant was not mem
toned. but we suppose It must have
becn the Chinese primrose hat Is tech.
nically known as primula obeUnica.
This primrose is one of the most beau
tiful Of the genus, and it is now in full
bloom in our Conservatives and offered
for sale | n the florists shops. Its poison
GUS character is well known to expert
enced florists. After handling it they
are npt to be affected with an inflam-
nation Of the skin of the hands md
arms, md often of the fnce, of I'm eczc-
matous type.
This lovely little plant is n native OF
central China, where it was first dis
covered by Mr.. Mnrles, n botanical col
lcctor, who sent seeds of it to England.
Plants raised from these seeds bloomed
for the first time in Europe in Septcm-
Der, 1850. In the following year It was
figured and described in the botanical
magazine, and three years later n coll
orcd plate of it appeared in the Garden
newspaper. 1t created n sensation in
European gardening circles, and on nc
count of its easy growth, neat habits
and Understanding nature, and tho
great p~rofusion and beauty Of its bios
SONS, it has found much favor with En-
glish and continental florists.
as it seeded and multiplied freely, IL
soon found its way to this country,
where, till two years ngo, it was the
rcigning ~favoritc both in private and
commercial gardens. When its poison
Gus nnturc, however, became generally
known it's popularity received n de-
cidcd check; but it is such n beautiful
little plant that V q now c%ultivators
dislike to give it up altogether.
The whole plant-lcavcs, petiolcs and
flower stcms-is covered moro or less
thiclSly with jointed hairs, and IL, IS
supposed that these hairs cause the
poisonous irritation by breaking off
and entering the skin of the hand. But
all who touch the plant arc poisoned
by it. We know of worknen who can
handle it with absolute impunity ut
any time, while others are always sus-
ccptiblc to it's evil influence. The back
of the hands, between the fingers and
the bare arms arc the parts affected;
the hard palm of the hand escapes UNI
injured. The face and eyes of some
worlsmcn arc also poisoned by it, al-
though these parts never touch the
plants. One person whom we know of
can handle the leaves without any
smarting pain, such rs the singing of u
nettle, and no priclsing rs If n cactus
hair Ind entered the skin; but after an
hour or two the itching begins, and
lasts more or less for several days. In
fact, the effect upon the skin presents
n good deal the appearance of parsnip
poisoning, but it is never so virulcnt OF
so lasting rs that caused by poison ivy

Tho attention OF tho taxpayers OF

m%unication from District ATTORNEY
Plummcr which appears in to.day's

per annum as has been SO hoastinglY

$1,000, scarcely enough to buy zach

Stnte Board OF Assessors.

In another column will DO found
tho instructions sent out TO tho AS.
SCISSORS and Commissioners OF the

OF Assessors. Those who have given
tho document a careful pcrusal are OF
the opinion that the Act authorizing
n Stato Board OF Assessors TO dictate
to County assessors, or TO ignore their
assessment entirely, will work n great
hardship on tho taxpayers OF tho
State. Tho fact that County Assess
ors ara instructed 10 assess property
''rcgnrdlcss OF any former Rsscssmcnt'
would Indicate that the State Board
will exercise the authority given them
in tho law To raise the whole asscss-
mcnt Of n county, or individual rs
scssmcnts at their discretion.
Tho claim that tho enhancement

OF the Stuto twill not necessarily

rs tho levy has been made by tho

BUTLER.-Thursday evening at z
o'clock, after protracted illness,
Mrs. Susan Butler, aged 50 years.
Funeral at Nj. Il. church Sunday
afternoon at . o'clock.
Susan is dead.
To those who knew her these words
are strangely mingled with sadness and
rejoicing. With sadness because we
miss the cheerful disposition and the
kind devotion OF loving nature
With rejoicing, because she rests from
LIES weary toll.
Beneath that ebon hue, there
throbbed loving heart tender as the
dew and true as steel.
Born slave, the years of her child
hood and young womanhood were
passed in her masters service in the
old Kentucky home, until the great
Emancipation act struck the fetters o
slavery into fragments.
For quarter of century she has
lived among us and all can testify t.
her great kind heart, her faithful de
votion, her exemplary character in al
that ennobles life.
To the call OF sickness or distres
she WAS ever prompt to respond.
In her devotion to her family sh'
never faltered, and if there were N,
other testimony, the SONS and daugh
ters, grown to manhood and woman
hood, imbued with their mothers al
fection, devotion, honesty and industr.
complete fitting monument to lif
ennured TO toll and responsive to tn
behests OF duty.
But Susan rests, and now fre
from the burden OF lifes toll and anxi
, ETY. she reaps the reward promised tn
, faithful by Him who notes even tn
fall OF sparrow.
