A woman was walking on the New

reached the platform and, just as the
train came laundering up behind her,
her foot caught in frog. Escape
seemed impossible. The spectators stooa

Well?
Out with rare presence Of mind the
woman tore off her false hair and
Yes.
The train ran over the switch, apd
she was saved.
Say.
Well !?
What pity it was that the woman
didn't have on red Aanal petticoat.
A red flannel petticoat
Yes; the frog would have grabbed
for that and let her foot go aud you
would have been spared the horror Of

The Striking Effect of CalOmel on
Young Chickens.

The Striking Effect of Calomel on
Young Chickens.
Mrs. A. ]. Penney Of this village is one o
the frugal and thrifty housewives living
within the Incorporation. One Of her pei
schemes is to raise chickens, and In takin 9
care of the young birds she has few equals
and no superiors. One day not long ago she
thought that II the young chicks were fed q
little medicated dough IL would invigorate
them and promote their growth. According.
ly she procured the light quantity OF calomel
which, when mixed with the proper quantity
OF dough. was fed 10 them. The sight oil
those young chicks before and after taking
made scene long to be remembered. Before
taking. they were full Of life and vigor, and
gy. In one brief hour. after taking their
medicine. those gay and festive fedglings,
to the number Of forty, turned up their little
toes nd lay dead in the yard. The mother
hens survived, but they mourn as II an army
OF hawks had dlned at their house that day.
The fate OF these young chicks should be q
warning TO people who suppose they can take
calomel or give 1t TO their children with i'm
punity. Calomel Is alike fatal to children
and chicks, and fond mothers who would rear
large families OF either children or chickens
should let calomel alone. II you want verifi.
cation OF this sad story about the good little
ch icks that lay dead on the yard above the R.
q D. depot, just call on Mrs. Penney, and she
will tell you how the owls and the minks
were robbed Of their prey.

The Whtskey MIDDLE.

r. e. H. presents the recent confusing
decision Of the Supreme Court In a different
light from any yet offered.
We confess that We know nothing at all
about the law. and have seen nothing which
throws any satisfactory light on the subject.
The legal status Of the whiskey business In
this state seems TO be confusion worse con-
founded.
When the court hold that the Act forbid.
ding license is constitutional against the
admitted intention of the Legislature, and
when the court fails to find any law
against the sale Of liquor, We don't know
what 1t means.
Perhaps in the history Of the civilized
world there never was decision of any court
20 unintelligble as that Of the Supreme Court
on the dispensary law. The best lawyer in
the State can't interpret 1t and we do not be-
heve that 1t is susceptible of Interpretation
y.human intelligence.
The meaning Of that decision must In our
opinion remain secret between the court
and their Maker, until they send down an
other ecision.

The question Of raising pension from the
Southern States for the benefit Of Mrs. Davis,
widow OF the late President, come up at Blr-
minghan last week.
We think that II we heard less Of the Davis

family. They are in good financial condition,
and it seems that their desire to make money
of the old Confederate soldiers ia never sa-
tiated. We are tired.

The Liuu0r Victory.

The people are beginning to realize the
great victory which the liquor men gained ir
the decision against the dispensary.
Licenses are being granted in many of the
towns, and we presume that the temper
ance opponenents OF the dispensary have snc
ceeded in re-establlshing their friends, the
bar.rooms, In all parts of the State.
aAlthough the liquor men, and liquor. seen
to be victors just now, 1t remains to be seer
whether liquor or law-sobrlety or drunken
ness-will permanently rule the State.

Congressman McLaurin has written letter
in which he oriticises Hon. John Gary Evans
in the most severe manner, seemingly be-
cause the Congressman is provoked at the
probability Of his being eleced Governor.
The letter is full Of venom, and in exceed
ingly bad taste for dignifed Congressman.
II Evans should be elected Governor the Con-
gressman would be placed In an awkward
position.
Even II both McLaurin and Evans should
be relegated to private life there Is neither
wisdom nor common courtesy to commend
the action Of the Congressman.

do so, than to allow everybody to deal In it.

One saloon has already been opened.
Treasurer Blake declines to receive any
money for license, but the town issues license
to sell liquor under the same principle tina
they issue licenses TO sell fish.

FATAL HOTEL FIRE.
Four Lives Lost and the St. Charles
House at New Orleans
DESTROYED.

New ORLEANS, La, April 30.-Four
lives were lost and property worth
100000 was consumed in fire that
broke out in the St. Charles Hotel Sat-
urday evening at II o'clock. The flames
originated in the interior court and
quickly swept through the building
Several persons were penned on the
upper floors and jumped from the
windows. One man leaped from the
fourth story and was almost instantly
killed, while four men and one woman
were seen to leap from the iron stair
case leading from the rear Of the build
ing and were lost to view in the court
which looked to be almost a solid
mass of flames. One man made
his escape into the street, but
nothing was seen of the others. It was
also reported that child was missing,
but this lacks confirmation. Besides
the st. Charles Hotel there are other
losses. The first outside building to be
ignited was No. 169 Gravier Street, the
ground floor occupied by the New Or
leans Electric Company and the upper
floors as a boarding house. The
building was Quilted in short
time. Several ladies were rescued
from the third story by the
police. No. III Gravier Street was bad
" damaged. Nos. 159 and 100 Common
Street were almost destroyed, and Nos.
162 and 164 considerably damaged
Nearly all the buildings in the rear of
the hotel in the same square and front
ing on Carondelet were more or less
damaged by fire and water.
