A DEADLY POISON.
Threads from the Bamb 90 Cause . Ter
rible Death.


The bamboo, the reeds of which are
useful in so many ways, is used by the
japanese as a means with which they
wreak bitter vengeance on offenders
and enemies, for it contains a poison
of a terribly destructive nature, which
causes slow and painful death, and is
all the more pernicious, as it can be ad-
ministered in manner that defies de-
lection.
The powerful poison is found close to
the knots of the bamboo reed in the
form of sharp, black, fibrous threads
which can be easily removed with a
knife, piece of glass, or any other cut
ting instrument. Mixed with water or
food they are absorbed without being
noticed, and they settle at once in the
throat or other air passages, which they
commence to obstruct producing a
wretched cough and Inflammation
which ends in tuberculosis and other
mortal diseases of the lung and throat,
with ultimate death. Proofs of this
were obtained in experimenting with a
dog The symptoms were as follows:
Loss of appetite, increasing thirst,
cough and expectoration, loss of flesh,
protruding eyes, manifest anxiety and
oppression, with death following in a
short time

For the rest there is great rejoicing
in color Women walk the streets and

DUEL ON A TIGHT ROPE.
A Desperate Encounter with surprisin
Results Ia Dublin Many Years Ago.

In Dublin. at the beginning of this
century, there were two rivals in the
art OF rope dancing-a Frenchman
named Perote and an Italian, Signor
Sarfuico-who, after trying in every
way 10 outvie each other, agreed TO per-
form together in dance of friend
ship" The two men on the rope were
in full dress of the period. with lace
rufiies, bagwigs and swords. Signor
Sarfuico. in beginning, seemed to have
some difficulty with his feet, which,
Perote perceiving, caused him 10 make
some remark which aroused the Ital-
ian's anger, who raised his hand as if
10 strike. The same instant Perote's
rapier was drawn and before the audi
ence could comprehend that they had
quarreled Sarfuico's sword was out also
and the two were thrusting at each
other on the tight rope. Both were
good swordsmen, but, Tid-Bits says,
Perote was the better of the two. He
warded off the Italians thrusts with his
napier till Sarfuico, making one desper-
ate lunge, received back stroke which
threw him off his balance, and at the
same time he attempted 10 grapple with
his enemy. Down he went and down
went Perote, and there was the Italian
hanging on to the rope by his feet and
the Frenehman holding on to it by both
hands, when the latter, with face of
triumph, cried: Look, ladies and gen.
tlemen, at the straps attached to his
shoe heels and passed over the rope!
There is how he has made himself safe
and dared to pretend he surpassed me,
whose life was spent on the rope, and
whose great-Creat-gra per-
formed before Henry ~" BY this time
the spectators had rushed with ladders
and feather beds and got both men
safely down. Sarfuico's exposure, how
ever, prevented his further success and
he quickly disappeared from the city.

SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS.
Although They Have to DO with Crime
They Are Of Interest to All.


Every reader knows what absurd con-
illusions as 10 the social and moral con-
dition of a country are often drawn
from imperfect statistics, but DIR. Will
liam Duffield Robinson, physician for
ten years to the Eastern penitentiary Of
Pennsyl vania, has figured some facts
down 70 fine point He declares that
the sentences TO the penitentiary may
be taken as fairly representative of the
total amount of crime prevailing in the
entire district from which ii receives
prisoners, and that the extent of ter
ritory and period of time covered by
the calculation make the deductions a
fair index Of the criminal phenomena
Of the whole country.
He argues that reformation is prsc-
ticable from the fact that one-third of
the criminals are between twenty and
twenty-five years Of age. lie finds that
men Of sixty are about eight times

and still over all is the growth of sul
len, desperate and mercurial city popu-
lation-the mudsills of civilization-who
are liable to act the part,of Samson ,,and
overturn the whole social fabric on the

These are pessimistic views, but they
are warranted. They look to wars and
revolutions. That these are imminent,
and will surely come, in many instances
before long, no man who clearly OBJ
serves the signs of the times can doubt.
We can avert much evil as far as the
United States is concerned by retracing
our steps, being honest and enforcing
honesty, and by carrying out the true
theory of republican government. If
we do not do SO, even at the expense of
being called calamity shrieker, we

he will be treated to writ OF man

looks for is rendered. The question is an
important one not only to the districts
concerned but from a political point OF
view. 1t would enable the people to
speak their choice very decisively on the
question OF successor to Hon. Q. N.
FELTON, in the senate OF the United
States should they be allowed the OPP
portunity. With the present COM
plexion of the state supreme court,
however, it would hardly do to be too
sanguine as to the outcome. That body
is doubtless not partisan, but no one
would be absolutely overcome by sur
prise if it should see the title clear OF
the sitting members to their seats.
This would be only what might be
called synchronous action-not par

The fine vein of humor which crops
out of Senator Hills reported interview
with Michigander, and which 1t was
thought worth while to telegraph over
the country, does not seem to have i'm
pressed itself on the average Republi-
can, who was momentarily consoled
with the hope that the great New
Yorker was out of the presidential race.
1t is worthy of remark that the senator
impressed upon his visitor the advisa-
Dility of Michigan's sending an unin-
structed delegation to Chicago to vote
in line with New York. As the Empire
State has instructed unanimously for
Hill, this was, after all, not very bad
advice. The odds are dollars to mar
bles, though, that the interview never
occurred. We shall be treated to good
many funny kilograms between now
and the meeting OF the Democratic
national convention, all devoted to
David Bennett Hill.

A GOOD DEPARTURE,

The announcement that the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway has noti-
fled the Western Traffic association that
on the 18th Of June it will reduce the
passenger rates to the Pacific coast, sec
ond class, to S20.S0 from the Mississippi
river, and to $l4.3j from the Missouri
river, will give unqualified satisfaction
On this coast. From Chicago and COM
mon points the rate will be $3.50. This
is the most i'm portant development that
has taken place in long time in railway
circles. Its effect will undoubtedly be
to stimulate immigration to this coast at
lively rate. President Marvel has long
been determined that, as far as his road
is concerned, the people shall have the
benefit of the immense commissions
which have been paid for securing pas
sengers. He has always exhibited a
conspicuous wisdom as we'll as liberality
in dealing with the patrons of his road,
and Southern California, especially, has
benefited by his enlightened policy. 1t
has been question with many people
as to whether or no the exposition at
Chicago would have the effect OF lessen
ing the tide OF tourist and Immigrant
travel to California. This action of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa F6 enables
US to answer the question emphatically
in the negative. Even without it we
were assured good, steady stream of
travel. While many OF our people will
go to Chicago, aud we shall thus, to
some extent. be drained Of our own
population, on the other hand eastern
railways will issue tickets to Cali
fornia via the Columbian worlds fair,
and return. That this plan will be
adopted by all the roads having Pacific
Coast connections, and will be extern
sively availed OF by the public, we have
authentic information. Meanwhile,
this action of the Santa Fe comes in
very timely, and will help out immlgra-
ton during the coming summer and
fall and winter. The exposition will
not be fairly opened until May OF next
year, and in the interim we may reason
ably expect to see the other transconti-
mental roads following the wise and
generous example of the Santa Fe.
