News is brought to the city by

the Rosborough place, and also

nights ago, and since that time

or arsenic, as is the custom of some
of the hog raisers to feed this poi
son in the slops to keep the colored
brother from stealing the hogs run
ming at large, or the poison may
have been put in the cake through
some poisonous extract, the ne
groes not being as well acquainted
with drugs as they should be when
buying from an apothecary.
We learn that since the twelve
have died, and while others have
been taken sick, they say they know
they are going to die, and the doc
tor can not prevail on them to take
medicine.
Mr. High says the doctor tells
him that the disease is La Grippe
and that he sees no symptoms of
poison, but those living about the
three farms mentioned say it is
from eating of meat that has been
poisoned in the above mentioned

Domestic Architecture In chicago.

The inhabitants Of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world. According to their own news
papers, they permitted one H. II. Holmes
to construct in their city house 50 ez-
traordinary, so full Of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof watts that
it would have attracted thousands Of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else. But The guileleSs Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued tie building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual about the house. What IS the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, Or are
acid proof watts and secret assages part
and parcel Of fhe ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture in Chicago. = Milwaukee

Speaking of cinches," said the re-

There was thunderstorm coming up

just as ! got there it began to sprinkle.
BY the time I'd got inside it was COM
ing down pretty hard, and was glad
to be under shelter. for hadn t brought
any umbrella with me. / hadn't had
any supper either, and when I got into
the dining room l thought I'd get some
thing to eat. The sideboard was locked
and the key carried up stairs, but lit

knife would open pie. | set out lit
tie snack on the table and sat down and
ate it comfortably, with the rain pour
ing down outside. Ii there's anything |
like, it's to hear storm a-raging outside
when you're settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
But here was something / hadn't
counted on The thunder was roaring
and plunging like dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house in treinble all the time.
l knew nobody could sleep in that thun-
der. They'd be sure to be all awake,
but here | was, and / hated to lose a
night, and after I'd waited little and
the storm didn't show any signs of let

THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets. Oliver Wendell Holmes
and william Cullen Bryant.


and William Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree of doctor of medicine III 1886,
being then % years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of Dr. Holmes has
been more popular than 'The Last
Leaf, " contained i'll this early collec-
ton, and none has moro richly deserved
to please by its rhy thmic beauty and by
its exquisite blending of humor and
pathos so sympathetically intertwined
that we feel the lonely sadness Of the
old man oven while we are smiling at
the quaintness SO feelingly portrayed.
Dr. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed "Thanatopsis' and the
Lines to Waterfowl long before he
was 20, in that he early attained full
development as poet. Although each
of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing Of theirs excelled these poems
Of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis'
OH the one side and 1.-THE Last Leaf ON
the other are as strong and Characters
tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout long life. What Bry
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume Of poems, each was to the
end Of his career
To neither of them was literature a
livelihod Bryant was first lawyer
and then journalist. Holmes was
first practicing physician and then a
teacher of medicine He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays were published
together i'll 1888 In 1889 he was ap
pointed professor Of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth, and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-
ton at Dartmouth aud resumed practice
in Boston He worked hard in his pro
fession and contributed freely to its llt-
erature, and in 1877 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pro
fessor Of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was TO hold with
great distinction for 35 years. st.

watched this unequal combat for nearly

in which there were several infusoria
