Famous Laughing Plant OF Arabia.

The seeds of. the laughing plant of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant
attalns n height of from two to four
feet, with woody stems, widespread
ing branches and bright green foliage.
Its fruits are produced in clusters and
are of a yellow color. The seed-pOds
are soft any woolly in texture, and
contain two or three black seeds of the
size of Brazilian bean. Their flavor
is little like opium, and their taste
is sweet: the odor from them produces
n sickening sensation and is slightly
offensive. The seeds. when pulverized
and taken in small quantities. have n
peculiar effect upon man. He begins
to laugh loudly, boisterOusly, then he
sings, dances and cuts all manner of
fantastic capers. Such extravagance
of gait and manners was never pro-
duced by any other kind of DOSING

Remarkable Murder In England.

Biddenden, quiet country village in
Kent, was recently the scene of re-
markable murder. The rector's daugh-
ter, middle-aged spinster had quar-
relied with several parshioners, and
wrote to six of them to meet her at
church on a certain Sunday, as she
wished to make up. 1t happened 10
rain, so that only one of the persons
addressed, Sunday school teacher,
attended church. After the commun-
ion, of which both partook, the woman
invited him into the vestry and asked
the curate to be witness to the rec
onciliation. She then drew revolve'
and shot the teacher dead.

Charleston, S. c.. April 22.-After
being out twenty-five hours the jury In
the lynchers' trial reported to the court
this morning that they had been un-
able to reach verdict save in the case
of three of the defendants-Edwin
Rodgers, Marion Clark and Oscar Kel
ly-for whom verdict Of mot guilty"
was rendered by direction of the court.
In the case of the eight others an
agreement could not be reached.
In discharging the jury Judge Braw-
ley said he had no censure or regret
to express. The jurors had done their
duty. he was certain, as their CON
sciences directed. and he thanked them.
He alluded to the barbarity of lynch
ing and said that such crimes were n
reproach to the United States and civil
iZation. He expressed the opinion,
however. that there must have been
some great provocation for the crime
and that the parties who placed Post
master Baker in the position at Lake
City could not escape Just measure
of responsibility for the terrible crime.

exempt from taxation and free from
cost of water charges as the Indians
own the canals and bitches. The rental
is generally a small amount in cash
