The jimson weed is one of the common
est weeds in this section of the country
1t is a dangerous poison, and may be
called the first cousin to the night-shade,
or atropa belladonna. Poisoning from the
jimson weed resembles very much the
poisoning from belladonna, and is treat
ed with the same antidotes. The odor of
the weed is disagreeable, but the flowers
are pretty, resembling morning glories
somewhat. The weed bears a round,
green, prickly burr which contains seeds.
The other day on Long Island a small
boy plucked jimson weed burrs and ate
some Of the seed. Within a few hours
he was dead, despite the efforts of physi-
clans. The effects of the poison are a
general paralysis of the muscles, the dila-
ton of the pupils of the eyes, husky
dryness of the throat. and, usually, delir-
iousness.

Two Summer Girls.
From Puck.

FROM 1uck.
Cynthia comes equipped to the fight
With ten trunks in line, and an English
maid;
Her gowns are dreams of a pure delight,
And her gloves just match them-soft
shade for shade.
All things are fit and quite au fait,
Save her poor little heart, that beats
too fast,
VIII victory, this time, crown the day
And perch on her maiden flag at last?
Phyllis comes as a locker on
To this matrimonial field of strife;
In sailor hat and a gown of lawn
And beautiful, fresh, abundant life;
And men kneel down to her russell shoe
And fly to answer her slightest call;
But she does not care what they say OF
do
She is having lovely time-that's all
Back to the town, in sore defeat,
Doth luckless Cynthia make retreat
lis Phyllis, the wild, unwilling thing,
Idle and tickle, who wears the ring.

The coIored people Of Florida and those

will make a mistake if they attempt to
force equality in the schools. In Illinois,
according to our dispatches of a day or
two ago. the attempt to remove the color
line from the schools has brought about
a threatening situation which may re-
suit in trouble. If Illinois is not ready
for equality in the schools it is pretty Ger
tain that Florida is not. And further
more, she never viii be. There is nothing
more certain than that the Anglo-Saxon
race will insist upon retaining its posi-
ton of pre-eminence, and that an attempt
to force the race from that position
will cause trouble

The Negro In Northern Politics.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem)

New York negroes are giving the repub-
licans a little pepper and salt" these
early fall days. They are clamorine
for recognition" whatever that may
mean. In the present case it seems
to mean a decent share in the spOils OF
Office. They even threaten to fold their
tents, like the Arabs, and to silently steal
away into some other political encamp-
ment. Serviity has long been the main
spring in the negro's political action, ana
it is certainly to be hoped that he Will
throw off his abject dependence upon any
particular political party. His account
with the republicans was squared up long
ago. Intelligence, not ignorance, should
be the prevailing influence when he casts
about for party affiliation. The graft
tude" argument is nearly played out It
has yielded to the cry for the loaves ana
fishes

Must be "A Republican.
From the Hartford Times Oem)

One of the western politicians who
United States judge named Caldwell lie
has just made a speech somewhere, IN
which he said, in talking about the silver
question: What is the use of paying at
tention to the foreign countries, any
way? Are we not capable of managing
our own affairs?" We don't remember
who appointed him, but We suppose he Is
a republican. We don't believe there Is
any democrat among the federal judicI-
airy who is anxious to figure as a silver
demagogue.

It is greatly to be regretted that activity
in favor of having the superstructure of
the Savannah public building constructed
of marble was delayed until the bids had
been made and the bid for a brick and
sandstone building had been accepted 1t
will be much more difficult now to get the
marble building than it might have been
if the movement had been more timely.
The people are not now more DESTROYS of
a marble building that they were some
months ago, when the Morning News agi-
tated the matter. We believe the building
should be made of marble, but it seems
that the chances are against getting that
kind of material. 1t looks as if we should
have to play second fiddle to Charleston
and Jacksonville in the matter of public
buildings.

Jefferson and IA Third Term.
From Springfield CIass.) Republican Qnd

The New York World says that Jeffer-
son could not have obtained a third term
in the presidential office if he had desired
it, The Chicago Times-Herald calls at
tention to the fact that eight of the sew
enteen state legislatures then organized
formally besought Jefferson to accept a
third term. and these included the primer
pal states of the union except Virginia.
which was of course favorable to jeff
erson. 1t is certainly true that a strong
demand was voiced at the time in favor
of Jefferson's continuance another term in
office, which he met with frequent state
ments of the objections which should bar
the way to a third term for any presi-
dent. And we know that he carried into
his retirement a singular degree of popu-
lar favor. The Times-Herald seems to be
nearer right.

An Injury to the South.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.)

Atlanta is the headquarters of the de-
preciated money movement in the south
The newspapers are full of schemes for
paying off debts with 50-cent dollars; these
schemes so attractive to certain classes
of people, will be written up and talked
up on every hand during the exposition.
Naturally capitalists proposing invest
ments will be deferred, scared away driv-
en- off, by such rotten-money doctrines,
and they will not invest. 1t does not re-
quire any prophetic power, or even any
special acuteness, to see that. People
may praise southern resources as much
as they deserve, and certainly, they de-
serve the very highest admiration; but no
displays of natural wealth will appeal to
any man who has reason to fear that
when he pays out his good money for
them, he may have to accept deprecated
funds in return

Spain is supposed TO be hard up for
money. 1t is passing strange that she does
not adopt the populist plan for creating
unlimited wealth in night. Why does
not she adopt the silver standard, cut
down her debts by cutting her pesetas in
two and be rich and powerful once
again?

vienna, Jan. 4-There is considerable
comment here regarding the stormy and
almost unprecedented scene which took
place in the sooranje, or national assem-
bly,, at Sofia. During the debate on the
credit of $1,000, 600 francs asked for by the
government for the purpose of suppress
ing brigandage, NJ. Dosseff. the opposition
leader, declared that brigandage no long.
er existed in Bulgaria, and that the pre-
mier, NJ. Stiloff, asked for this money for
the purpose |of establishing a system of
political espionage. An uproar followed,
the supporters of the government strong
~ Genouncing the assertion of the oppo-
sition leader and NJ. Dosseff replying with
strong expressions rejecting upon the
ministers. This caused Stiloff to ex-
claim:
You arc a liar and slanderer."
Insults Hurled About.
This served to bring matters to n most
intense pitch of excitement. All the dep
uties sprang to their feet and hurled in
suits ut each other, while NJ. Dossef con-
tinued his attack upon the government
Finally the president Of the sobrapie, DIR.
Theodoroff, announced NJ. Dosseff's ex-
pulsion from the chamber for the re-
mainder of the session and directed the
quaestors to remove him from the pre-
cincts of the house. The Liberals replied
to this order with a storm of Kisses and
with the members of the opposition
grouped about him NJ. Dosseff struck ut
the quaestors and beat them off, but not
until some of the deputies had drawn re-
volvers. During this exciting scene the
ministers withdrew and left the Liberals
in possession of the house. After an
hours interval the sitting was resumed
at midnight.
Protested Against the Action.
The opposition protested against the
action OF the government, declaring that
the scene was caused by NJ. Stiloff call
ing VI. Dosscff liar and n slandcrcr and
later the opposition left the house in u
body in order. as they claimed, to avoid
witnessing further acts of injustice to the
country and its representatives. During
the absence of the opposition deputies the
government discussed and adopted the
political amnesty bill, including the prop
ositions to grant amnesty to Zankoff and
