Poisons in Toy Candles.

The following letter on arsenical poi
soning through green candles was con-
tributed to The Times in March, 1889,
by Major Leadbetter, chief constable of
Denbighshire:
A curious case came under my notice
lately which, think, is of public value.
A children's party and Christmas tree
resulted in most of the little people and
many of the older ones being seized
with symptoms of mineral poisoning.
The fact of several who were present
who had not partaken of food or liquid
of any kind being in the number of those
affected directed my attention to the col
ored candles on the tree.
These l had examined by the county
analyst, Mr.. Lowe, of Chester, whose
report is to the effect that the green can
dies were colored with arsenical green
to the extent that every eight candles
would contain one grain of arsenious
anhydrite. He further reports that the
red candles were colored with vermilion.
There is no doubt. therefore, that we
have not further to seek for an explana-
ton of the synptoms-a crowded room
with the atmosphere charged with ar
senical and mercurial fumes sufficiently
accounting for it, It is only fair to state
that learn the candles were not of Eng
hsh manufacture and were bought with
the TOYS.

Uncle Moses Postum Prayer.

Great CONSERVATION, followed by wild
laughter, was an innovation of the chapel
exercises at the penitentiary not long
ago. It was occasioned by possum
prayer from old Nose Allen, South
Carolina negro with one leg, who was
dreaming Of Thanksgiving day. Chap
lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting
as usual, and prisoners followed briefly.
When all heads were bowed in reverence
old Nose jumped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:
"Dear beloved brudderin and sister'n,
tank de Lord for permittin me to KUN
terchurch dis yer beautiful Sabbot' morn.
Ye all dunno that beautiful Thanksgiv-
ing day is near at han. On dat day some
folks will eat turkey, some eat chicken,
some eat duck, some eat lamb and some
eat sheep. But us niggers, we would like
dat good old poss. Koch i'm, bring i'm
in, take all the HAIR Of i'm, put i'm out
two nights and let i'm fros'. Bring i'm in.
Parberl i'm. Stuff i'm like yo' would tur-
key, an bas i'm. Put i'm in de pan. Put
sweeten taters all round dat poss. Put
i'm in de stove and shet dat stove doah.
Go away thinking about Booregard, JEFF
Davis, Lincoln andsGrant. Let i'm stay
in dere awhile. Open dat stove doah.
or 'possy all turned brown and de gravy
drippin in de pan declar dat poss am
cooked. Bring dat poss out'n dat stove,
put i'm on de table. Don't cut i'm while
'e's 'ot. For Christ's sake, amen!"
Chaplain Dudley stood aghast at the
conclusion of the prayer. A moment
afterward the chapel re-echoed the wild
and wicked shouts of the prisoners. For
about five minutes CONSERVATION reigned,
at the end of which time prayers were
resumed, with no further expressions
from the colored Observation-Disclosures
