Poison OAK AND IvY.-Last summer

curing of woodland poisons. Here is the
specific employed by DR.. S. A. Brown U

the New York Mcdical Record: this specific
is bromine. have used it with the same

The eruption never extends after the frs
thorough application. and it promptly be

hours, if the application be persisted in

bromine dissolved in olive oil, in cosmo
line and in glycerine.

full. and, think possesses no advantages
to compensate for irritation. The strength
of the solution is ten to twenty drops o
bromine to an ounce of oil, used by rubbing
gently on the affected part three or fou
times day, and especially on going tc
bed at night. The bromine is so volatile
that the solution should be renewed within
twenty -four hours OF its preparation.

METHOD IN WoRK.-Do instantly what
ever is to be done take the hours of retlec-
ton OF recreation after business and never
before it. When a regiment is under
march, the rear is often thrown into confu-
sion because the front does not move
steadily and without interruption. If that
which is first in hand is not instantly,
steady and regularly dispatched, other
things accumulate behind,tll affairs begin
to press all at once and no human brain
can stand the confusion; pray mind this
it is one of your weak points, habit Of
mind that is very apt to beset men of intel
lect and talents, especially when their time
is not filled up regularly, but is left to their
own arrangement. But it is like the ivy
round the oak, and ends by limiting, if it
does not destroy the power of manly and
necessary exerton.

A terrible tragedy was enacted at the
II Indian village, Klawock Cannery,
few days ago. An Indian was sitting
alone in his wigwam, meditating
perhaps upon the departed glories of his
race, or, more likely, upon the increas-
ing obstacles in the way of obtaining a
supply of the inspiriting hochenoo,"
when a young married woman entered
from a neighboring lodge, and thinking
the brave was asleep at an unreasonable
hour, she gave him smart push, which
threw him over against something or
other, which cut his face, causing flow
of blood. The brave muttered a curse,
and the woman quickly retreated, think
ing but little of the accident, for an ac-
cident 1t was, so far as the trifiing in
jury went.


Nothing further transpired that even
ing, the damaged brave remaining indoors
nursing his anger. The following morn
ing, when the woman and her husband
were quietly eating their breakfast of
dried salmon, anticipating no harm, the
wounded man walked into the hut,
raised his rifle and sent bullet crashing
through the skull of the man. He then
rushed upon the woman, whipped a
huge knife from his belt, ripped her
open, and leaving husband and wife
dead upon the floor, quietly walked
back to his own cabin closed and barred
the door. The murder created a violent
commotion in the Indian village as
well as in the campery. An Indian
council was held and q death sentence
passed upon the murderer.


Luckily for the cause of justice in
such cases, there are no courts of APP
peal in that region to retard the prompt
and merited execution of q red-handed
murderer, but in this case there was the
barrier of strongly barred door, with
desperate and well-armed man on the
inner side. Urgent appeals were made
to the criminal to open the door and
come out and be shot, all of which he
respectfully declined. Fearing that he
would escape in the night, a close watch
and guard were kept upon the hut, the
settlement being on the alert all
night, expecting the shooting to come
off every moment the captain announc-
ed that he was ready. He unbarred his
door and stalked out, gorgeously robed
in flaming red blanket, his head re-
splendent with pitch and feathers, and
his rifle upon his shoulder.


Giving few directions to his exeou-
TONERS, he stepped forward few PAGES,

Their grave is at Bloomfield, Kentucky,
marked by modest shaft. Before her
death Mrs. Beauchamp wrote the follow
ing epitaph, which was engraved on the
tombstone of the misguided pair:
Entombed below in each others arms


The husband and the wife repose;
Safe from life's never-ending storms,


Secure from all their cruel foes.
A child of evil fate she lived


Villains wiles her peace had crossed
The husband of her heart revived


The happiness she long had lost.
He heard her tale of matchless woe,


And burning for revenge arose
He laid her base betrayer low,


And struck dismay to virtues foes.
Reader, if honor's generous blood


Eer warmed thy heart, here drop tear.
And let the sympathetic food


Deep In thy mind its traces wear.
A brother or a sister thou


Dishonored see thy sister dear;
Then turn and see the villain low,


And let fall grateful tear.
Daughters of virtue grant the tear,


That love and honor's tomb may claim.
In your defence the husband here


Laid down in youth his life and fame.
His wife disdained life forlorn,


Reft from her hearts beloved lord
Then, reader, here their fortunes mourn


Who for their love, their life blood poured.


The excitement over the fate of Beau
champ and the tragic ending of his wife
lent to the tragedy romantic halo, and
some years since, John Savage, New
York journalist and play-writer, worked
the stirring incidents of the affair into a
play entitled "The Sybil," which, how
ever was performed only twice. Sharp's
wife got out an injunction at Louisville
against the performance of the piece and
succeeded in suppressing it entirely.


Were the tragedy to occur in these
days it is doubtful if Beauchampe would
have ever felt the halter draw,

The Detroit Ne,Os says: On Monday
evening Mrs Gagnier, who lives at the
corner of Nineteenth street and st.
Clair place, missed her little son, Eddy,
three and half years of age, and search
ed high and low for him. Her husband
is at present at work up the lakes, but
neighbors volunteered and made pro-
longed but unsuccessful search. On
Tuesday the anxious mother made in
quiries at the police stations and in
every quarter she could think of, but
again failed. The grandfather of the
little one also started out, and yesterday
obtained slight clue to his where
abouts.


This morning he went out to the COM
mons near the Michigan avenue cross
ing of the Detroit, Lansing & Northern
railroad, and, making inquiries of chill
dren, was told that there was lost
child in small hut in the vicinity.
Entering the squalid habitation ,he found
the child under the care of a woman
who was unwilling to give him up. The
boy recognized him and said "grand-
father" and the woman then made no
further opposition. Taking the child
away he met the husband of the woman
a short distance from the house, and he
also opposed the taking of the child
away.


The man Whose name has not been
ascertained) said he found the child on
Monday evening at the corner of Michi-
gan avenue and Seventh street, and had
taken 1t home for safe keeping; also
that he had reported the fact at a police
station, and to ga red-headed police
man." 1t is believed at police head
quarters that all these statements are
fabrications, and that the child was
taken with the intention of keeping it.
1t is also stated that the man and his
wife came from Buffalo about two weeks
ago, and have no children.

One of the large monkeys in the
Alexandra palace, London, had been
suffering from decayed tooth, and an
abscess, forming large protuberance
on the jaw, had resulted. The pain
seemed so great it was decided to
consult dentist, and, as the creature
was very savage, it was thought that if
the tooth had to be extracted, the gas
should be used for the safety of the
operator. The monkey struggled against
being put into sack, prepared with
hole cut for his head, snapped and
screamed, and gave promise of being
very troublesome; but as soon as the
dentist managed to get his hand on the
abscess and gave relief, the monkeys
demeaner changed entirely. He laid
his head down quietly, and, without
the use of gas, submitted to the removal
of the tooth.

London, March 1.-The annual re-

the National Rifle Association Of the
United States on behalf of the riflemen

the challenge had been received was

Washington, March 1.-Acting under
the instructions of the Secretary of the
Treasury and in anticipation of the
silver bill becoming law, the director
of mints has been engaged several days
making the necessary arrangements for
running the mints to their full capacity
on the new silver dollar, in connection
with which gold only will for some
time be coined. Probably supply of
working dies will be ready in about ten
days, and in the meantime the silver
bullion will pass through all the pro-
cesses of putting it in shape for coming
into dollars, except that of. stamping,
for which particular operation the
capacity of the mint is in excess of
other operations, so that in reality but
little delay in the coinage will be occa-
stoned by the dies not now being ready.
1t is thought that by the middle of
April the coinage of silver dollars will
be at the rate of three and half mil
lions per MONTH The supply of frac-
tional silver coins at the mint and the
different treasury offices is sufficient to
meet any demand that may likely arise
for several months to come. The mints
are all in excellent condition with a
skilled force of workmen, and every
thing is in shape to meet the large
amount of coinage devolyed upon them
by the new law. - a--
