ON ITS LAST LEGS.

Aavlcss from vsnsxuele show that the
Government La in . Bad Way.
NV YoRK, Sept 27.-The Red ID" line
steamer Caracas. from La Guayra, and
Porto Cabello. Venezuela, arrived to-day.
On her trip to La Gusyra the Caracas found
the United States war vessels Chicago and
Kearsarge there, and was glad to see the
Concord riding at anchor in the harbor OF
Porto Cabello. No attempt was made by
the Venezuela government officials to
molest the people OF board or interfere in
any way with the steamer. Peraza, the
Venezuelan minister to this country. was
at the dock to meet his wife and son. The
son had be n entrusted with . mission
from the Venezuela government to his
father, tho minister. This mission, his
brother Carlos said. was in relation to the
South Portland, which has sailed from
Trinidad. with arms and munitions OF wal.
for the revolutionists OF Venezuela, it is
said. Carlos Ballot. the minister's son,
after having had a talk with his brother
Nicamor, said the news from Caracas was
very encouraging for the government. The
friends of the revolutionists give entirely
different pictures Of the state of things in
Venezuela. Senior Lopwell. q Venezuelan
in this city, met several friends who came
on the Caracas. He said the present gov
eminent Of his country was tottering on its
last legs and would shortly collapse en-
tirely. The officers of the steamer Caracas
said there can be no doubt but that the
re~volutionists are steadily gaining and that
tie present government cannot last much
longer.

HIS General erect.

During a trial which took place in a
New England city some years ago, the
plaintiff was undergoing a rather
sharp examination from the defend
ants attorney. The case was one of
damages claimed on account OF severe
bodily injuries received by the plant
if on a railroad, due, the plaintiff
claimed, to the negligence OF the de-
fendant railroad company's servants.
"Mr. c., the railroad company's
lawyer, was noted for his nervous
manner in examining witnesses, and
endeavoring to discomfort them. This
witness, however, determined not to be
squelched or confused by his oppon-
ent's counsel.
After becomingthoroughly provoked
by the attacks of the lawyer, he re-
monstrated.
"Alr. C" said he, II am an in
valid. ! cannot allow you to question
me in this manner. It is a positivs in
jury to my nervous system, which is
at best in shattered condition. l
shall have to refuse to answer your
questions unless you put them in a
different manner.
IL am troubled, on account OF in
jury received on the railroad, with
~sclerosis of the spinal cord. At this
minute I can see you double, and you
know by experience it is generally
enough to upset a man to g you
once"
Whether out OF gratitude for this
tribute to his remarkable powers, or
from a feeling that the general senti-
ment was against his method of
questioning on that occasion, it is
said that the lawyer was noticeably
mild in his further treatment of the
witness with "sclerosis OF the spinal
cord"

--
A Little Practice Would Make An
imals Confirmed Topers.
The taste for alcoholis not confined
to human beings, as animals take very
kindly to it and a little practice
makes them confirmed topers. We
have as yet never met adogthat could
resist bread soaked in beer, and Rich
ardson tells us of a cat that was
taught by some children to drink
wine. "She would amuse a company
by taking her share of old port and
becoming first excited and then very
stupid, unsteady and sleepy" The
poor beast became dropsical and died
of liver disease, but then it had been
drenched with drink far beyond the
limits of moderation and the usual
results followed.
Richardson also tells us how he was
driving near Canterbury, when the
horse stoppedshort at apublic house.
II asked the driver what that was
for. The horse,' said he always
stops here for his beer. He wouldn't
go by on no account. You couldn't
whip him by, sir, until he has had his
drink of beer. His former master
taught him to drink beer and invari-
ably treated him to it, and here he'll
stop till he gets it,"
It was the fact; a large tankard OF
beer was brought out for that horse.
and he disposed of the fluid with as
much relish az his master. and then
went his way"

Talking too Much.

Many a person talks too much, and
finds when too late that silence would
have been golden. The Mongols have
a story on this wise.
Two geese, when about to start
southwark on their autumn migra-
ton, were% entreated by a frog to take
him with them. On the geese express
ing their willingness to do SO, if any
means Of conveyance couldbe devised,
the frog produced a stalk Of grass, got
the two geese to take it, one by each
end, while he chung to it by his mouth
in the middle. In this manner the
three were making the journey sue
cessfully, when they were noticed
from below by some men, who loudly
expressed their admiration of the de-
vice, and wondered who mad been
clever enough to discover it. Tho
frog opened his mouth to say, ut was
I,"lost his hold, fell to the earth, and
was dashed to pieces.
Do not let pride induce you to
speak, when safety requires you TO bs
silent.-Selected.

Gardening and fruit growing ara
the branches of agriculture especially
adapted to men of small means. A
little land sufices better than much,
and returns come so quickly that not
much capital is needed to carry one
until the harvest.
1t is a foolish practice to plant the
seeds of cucumbers, melons and other
vegetables that suffer easily from
drought, upon hills or ELEVATIONS.
Better make a drill or furrow that
will permit of planting them below
rather than above the level. They
will retain moisture better in that
way, and can be more easily irrigated
if you so desire.
In order to possess horses Of strong
and resisting constitution it is essential
to give them suitable and substantial
food of which oats constitute thetype.
Beans approach most to oatsin point
to nutriment. Though horses appear
to relish Indian corn they do not
derive from it the strength and endur-
ance requisite for stiff work, says the
Farmers Review. Carrots rapidly
act on the digestive glands and so
promote the health of horses.

Mysterious Double Tragedy.

LONDON, Sept. q. - Considerable of a
sensation has been caused here by the
mysterious death of an ex-actress known as
Ruby Rus-e q beautiful girl, who has ap-
peared at the Lyric and Drury Lane
theaters. Her real name was Marianne
Sharpe. For some time past she has not
been seen on the stage. and it was an open
secret that she was living with Yoodburn
Heron, an army surgeon. D.. Heron was
recently ordered to Gambia. and when he
went he took the girl with him. They re-
turned to London Sept. 3. On Tuesday
last Miss Sharpe suddenly died. An IN
quest was about TO be held, when it was
discovered that Dr.. Heron had committed
suicide. 1t is conjectured that DR.. Heron.
knowing that q post mortem examination
would reveal the presence of poison. and
being guilty OF administering it, he at once
made preparations to kill himself. On the
other hand it may be perfectly true that in
a fit Of angry jealousy the girl poisoned
hersel and DR.. Heron, being afraid that
he would be accused OF killing her, deter
mined to commit suicide.

WARRINGTON. Sept. 27.-The police and
health officers OF the district are engaged in
investigating the truth of q horrible story
told of . colored undertaken Ernest
Edwards, whose reported recklessness has
ons from diphtheria. The story goes that
on July 6 q co!ored girl named Maud
Myers died Of diphtheria. Edwards was
employed and prepared the body o rburial.
On the 18th, the day of the funeral, Ed
wards removed the body from the icebox
and put in the casket. He took the icebox,
containing the ice and water out into the
court and emptied it on the ground.
Three colored children living in the
c~ourt-Cbarles Burk, Ignatius Burk and
Mary F. Davis-ate Of the ice. On July 16
the Burk and Davis children were stricken
with diphtheria and died in q few hours.
DR.. Ward Immediately notified the health
officer of the facts, and DR.. Charles Osman.
inspector OF contagious diseases. was sent
to investigate the case. He reported on
the 18th that there was no evidence which
could be secured that would convict Ed
wards O.; a violation of the health regula-
tions, and included in his report an afi-
u0VAO1 IVl0 LUW0SNo III WAANu Az ~SAAS
that he had deposited the ice in the alley.
He also inclosed a letter of DR.. Sotheran.
which certified to Edwards truthfulness.
The matter was then dropped. Rumor,
however, kept the matter alive, and yester-
day the health officer. spurred by the
Efforts of q newspaper reporter, looked into
the case, and found that several witnesses
volunteered t o swear that Edwards did
throw the ice in the alley. Since the date
of Maud Myers burial thirty-two
cases of diptheria have occurred in
St. Mary's court, fifteen Of which proved
fatal. They are traceable, it is said. to the
ice thrown into the court by Edwards from
off Maud Myers coffin. A determination
has been expressed by the authorities to
prosecute Edwards for perjury and man
slaughter if he ia arr, sted. Up to the pre-
sent time he has escaped.
