Pointer"
For Subscribers.

Our readers have noticed that for the
past few weeks we have been printing
ancestral records of some leading
American families
This matter is the result of original
research, and not to be found in print
elsewhere.
If our readers will save the copies of
the paper and cut out each week the
records referring to each family a set of
scrapbooks may be made which at the
end of the year will give half dozea
volumes worth at least s. each. Any
one interested in the various families
would readily pay this amount for such
a volume, which would be unique, and
nouhere else obtainabLe.
If you have not saved the back nupn
beers containing the beginning of this
matter, we can furnish you print GOV.
ering all that has appeared up to the
present time.
Hereafter the paper will be so printed
that it can be cut without sacrificing
any of this matter. In other words,
these records will not be printed on both
sides of the same sheet again.
We simply make this suggestion as
hint to our readers who may have the
time and taste for little enterprise of
this sort which would yield them enough
to pay a subscription to The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, perhaps, for the rest of their
lives, if they should wish to so invest it,
or the volumes would become an heir
loom which would be more dearly cher
ished than almost anything else that
could be handed down to ones children
Or grandchildren.
If desired, we will furnish, at the
nominal price of 10 cents each, appro-
pirate blank books for FASTING up the
records.
Although at present We are only
working upon the records of six FAM
lilies, which, including collateral rela-
tives, are specially numerous, we con-
template taking up other family names
at an early day.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The Treasury expenditures for October
were S3,Si9,6J1 greater than for the same
month of last year. Much of this increase,
it is declared, is due to the war in China.
Prior to that time the army was not re-
cruited to the full extent allowed by the
law, but upon the situation in China
threatening trouble the army was raised
to its full limit, thus increasing expenses
in many directions. The campaign in China
has also increased expenses in the matter
of transportation and subsistence.

Halloween is declining rapidly in the
estimation of Washington youth. The one
last week was much the Quietest known
in the history of the city. About the worst
things the boys did was to set fire to the
piles of leaves in the streets, and thus
endanger the trees. One crowd of rollick
ers frightened a mOtorman into nervou.
prostratiOn by dropping Il stuffed suit Of
clothes in front of his car. He put on the
brakes so hard that the passengers were
shot up into the front end of the car.
October beat any known month for the
number of marriage licenses issued. The
total was 394. June has heretofore beer
the greatest month for licenses. Very
many of these are to young Nirginians
who have their own reasons for being mar
ried in Washington.

POISONOUS BUCKEYES.
They Contain the Same Poison as Wheat
Cookie.

HOrse-chestnuts, or buckeyes, are very
numerous among the shade-trees of Wash
ington, and last week little boy was re-
ported to have died from eating Il buck
eye. 1t turned out that he died from peri
tonitis, and Prof. V. X. Chestnut, of the
Agricultural Department, who was de-
tailed to investigate the case, says in his
report:
The fact that his death was reported
to be due to poisoning by this nut may
we'll serve to the notice of the public that
the horse-chestnut is poisonous and that
serious effects may follow should children
in play eat it.
'The American Indians have been in
the habit of using the horse-chestnut as a
fish poison in certain parts of the coun-
try, and the California horse-chestnut or
buckeye is still used occasionally for this
purpose Several authentic cases are on
record of serious and sometimes fatal pois-
oning from the horse-chestnut. The poison
is a substance similar to saponin, which is
the poisonous principle of cookie, a weed
common in wheat fields. In some portions
of Europe bread made from wheat with a
large percentage of this seed in it has been
known to cause serious and even fatal con-
sequences.
Gases of horse-chestnut poisoning are
so rare, however, that no specific remedy
has as yet been determined for it. The

Hopedale, O., Aug. 9, 1S62.-Arose
from my cot in my little old cottage and
started with others after breakfast to Ca
diz, O., to volunteer. / walked TO Folks
Station, and there waited for the cars.
Arriving in town l found the people COM
ing in great numbers. i waited and wished
for some one to come from Belmont Coun-
ty that l knew, that l might learn the
prospects there, but none came. l did
not like to volunteer without hearing
from home; yet l was besieged by dozens
TO put my name down. AS my favorite
company was over full, my situation was
perpleXing in the extreme; yet for some
unknown reason l held off. About noon,
when looking around for a friend, who

indeed, and / was now free to act.

heyed after the deed was done, and moved

to me.

remedy would be from experiments on ami
mails. Fortunately, the taste of the horse
chestnut is sufficiently disagreeable to keep
children, as rule, from eating it. Il
may be interesting to note that the horse
chestnut contains large amount of starch
and other food materials which have a nu-
tritive value similar to that of our other
common farinaceous foods. The Indians
of Northwestern California, where the
California buckeye is abundant, gather the
fruit, roast and mash it, and then leech
out the poison by putting the mushy
pa oduct in holes in the sand and allowing
the water to run through it for consider
able time"

OFF FOR THE FRONT.
Coyington, KY, Aug. "a, 1S62-You
will see from this heading that we are
considerably on our way to Dixie. / am
sitting this beautiful Sunday morning on
somebody's steps in front of the Court
House, where our quarters are. You can
consider this as a soldiers letter, and al
though they have much of interest to write
about l find they have poor accommoda-
tons for doing So for want Of desks and,
above all, quietness.
We arrived here last night at II o'clock.
Thus one day has brought us clear
through the State of Ohio into Kentucky.
Before leaving our camp at Mingo the
ladies of Cadiz, o., presented the 9Sth
with beautiful silk flag. The presenta-
ton speech by the ladies, to which Capt.
Norris responded with few words,
brought tears to the eyes Of all present.
We took the flag, pledging to keep it IN
sullied and to bring it back honored."

LAST NIGHT AT HoPEDALE.
Thursday, Aug. 14.-This was the an
niversary of the McNeeley Normal School.
We were engaged in arranging for the re-
ception of the multitude of visitors ex-
pected, who were all delighted with the
exercises, and members of the school
felt it was a proud day for them. Miss
Matte Griffith touched the cord of our
hearts. in her valedictory, with her soul
stirring words of encoura cement for those
of us who had volunteered, and the scenes
were affecting. The evening passed pleas
antly, and We separated, bidding each 9th
er last adieus. The friendships formed at
school are the most lasting of any through
life, and we felt at parting that some of
us were leaving, never to return, perhaps.
This was our last night at Hopedale.
Cadiz, o., Friday, Aug. ID left
Hopedale at o'clock in the morning with
my comrades in a two-hOrse wagon, in
which we rode gayly on the straw. My
thoughts were unpleasant as l rode to
town that morning. l felt that much of
my freedom was gone, and l was subject
to the call of others. We fell into line
at the tap of the drum and marched down
the streets, learning to keep time," and
proceeded to the grove to drill.
FIRST DAY OF SOLDERING.

pressed at my unnatural position, sur

Illness of Senator Davis.

The pleasant hopes entertained of Sen
ator G.. X. Davis's speedy recovery have
not been justified by the course of his
trouble. Last Sunday he was decidedly
worse, and grave fears were entertained
that if his life shall be saved it may be at
the cost of his foot or possibly his right
leg. The pus which had formed in the
part of his foot, and for the removal OF
which two surgical operations were per-
formed, has now gather farther back to-
ward the heel and indications are that i;
is permeating the entire limb. The fever
with which the patient was suffering on
Friday had returned and does not yield as
readily to treatment as formerly. The
surgeons in attendance held Il cOnsulta-
ton on Sunday, and it was decided to send
at once to Chicago for the best specialist
to be had. The Senator was very rest
less and suffered much pain. He has not
been told of the serious nature of his all
ment and chafes greatly under the en-
forced confinement.
