His assignment, was as stated above,
in the nature of a complete surprise, as
he was thought to bo possessed of

At a meeting of the Penitentiary
Boaid, yesterday, at which the Gov
ernor presided, there were present the
financial agent and one of the
Huntsville contractors. Exactly what
transpired was not made public, but
the session was rather protracted, and
a good deal of discussion was had. It
13 stated that the object of the meet
ing was to consider a petition from
contractors, looking to a modification
of their agreements, and for such ac
commodation by the Board as to help
them through the dull times. At
present nothing can be realized from
a large amount of manufactured ar
ticles. Some $25,000 has been drawn from the
treasury for the penitentiarries, since
the general appropriation act went
into ellect. which amount is alleged to
have gone for deficiencies. The board

At meeting of the members of tne
Capital Rifle Club, some weeks ago, it
was decided to offer a goldmedU,

r At the first trial for this medel there
were eight entries. The distance was
150 yards, and the prize was won by

There was a meeting of. the Capitol
Board yesterday. The object was os
tensibly te protect the trees and shrub
bery, within the capitol grounds from
the hands of vandals and loose quad
rupeds. The syndicate however has,
under their contract, the exclusive
control of a portion of the grounds,
the rest being under the care
of CoL Darden, the superintendent of
buildings and grounds.
But while this was the alleged ob
ject of the session, it is shrewdly sur
mised that not a little discussion (in
formally) ensued in regard to
the use of Indiana lime
stone instead of that hitherto
. employed. The board no doubt was
pleased with the sample shown, and
when tested, if found equal to the
claims made in its favor, there is
scarcely a doubt of its adoption.
At present no wark is going b.
contract forthe superstructure

ows itsuintention to pu3h forward

There is onlv the question of material
to be sol ved, and tue work will be re

The Deadly Human Saliva.
It is only within a comparatively
recent period that the attention of the
midical world has been drawn to the
possession by human saliva of viru
lence, which, under certain conditions
is hardly surpassed by that possessed
bx the poison of the rattlesnake and
others of its class. It was that cele
brated investigator Pasteur, to whom
we owe so much, who, no earlier than
1881, proclaimed hi3 discovery of "a
new disease," from injecting into the
subcutaneous connective tissue of a
rabbit, the saliva obtained from a
child that had died of hydrophobia,
and the experiments of Dr. Sternberg,
U. S. A., subsequently, who employed
normal human saliva, have furnished
sufficient evidence that, however
harmless we have been accustomed to
regard this secretion of the salivary
and other glands, and as potent onlv
for physiological functions, we must
henceforth accord to it another and
mere dangerous quality that brings
its study into the realm of pathologi
cal inquiry, and forces attention to it
on account of the interest it possesses
from a surgical point of view.
These experiments of Dr. Sternberg
which have been repeated for the most
part by Dr. Claxton (vid. Medical
Times, vol. xii.,- No. 380), have fully
established the fact that when normal
human saliva is injected into the sub
cutaneous connective tissue of rabbits
death ensues in from twenty-four
hours to three weeks. When larger
animals were experimented on only
local symptoms, in the production of
abscerses at the seat of puncture, were
obtained. And we are accordingly
led to the inference that the potency
of the poison diminishes as the size of
the animal experimented upon increa
ses in the scale of being an inference
which is not supported by the results
of the case here reported. Medical

She Knows.
A lady correspondent gives the fol
lowing instructive hints on the all
important subject of popping the
question: "Never propose to a girl
who has Deen out driving tne uay or
the evening before with another man.
Women have not the versatility 01
men. and cannot as readily turn from
one object to another. Never propose
to a woman who has recently rejected
someone else, woman is naturally
sympathetic, and in refusing proffered
love she instinctively, alJiost uncon
sciously, devotes herself to a lite or
celibacy. She should be carefully
watched until the reaction takes place
and then she becomes even better pre
pared than before to lend attention to
a declaration . If she has been engaged
and the relation has been dissolved,
the lover may even be a little
careless in the selection of his
time. To a girl once engaged an en
eraffement becomes a neccessity, and
sue is prepared at aimosc any moment
to listen favorably to an advantageous
proposition. To propose to a girl in her
own nome in tne aiternoon is maaness,
and if the excursion falls the inevit
able deduction is that for such a girl
the evening is. the only time that
promises any possibility of success
It is a work of supererogation to
dwell on eveninir declarations. Every
man understands them, and he has
onlv to make the most cursory exami
nation as to the health ot the subject
before entrusting his ambition to
words.
Very lew Americans have yet
learned how little land is required for

COOKING RECIPES.
An old-fashioned pudding sau -
that can bu made in an instant, i :
simply milk sweetened and ttavorei
with grated nutmeg. This is really (
palatable with corn-starch blanc
mange.
Granular Efferve- cent Tea.
Dr. Samuel W. Francis suggests that
some resionsible firm manufacture a
superior quality of granular efferves-
eiir- lea, to be sold by the trade in
small twenty-five cent bottles, and
larger ones tor one dollar. This
enable persons who are feeble, or
tired, or co'd, to put one teaspoonf ul
in a tumbler or cup of hot or cold wa
ter, and, in a few seconds, enjoy the
comforts of a refreshing cup of tea,
which is all readymade, as it could be
mixed with milk, sugar, or its equiv
alent. For those who travel it would
prove of great value and become
popular. A handsome income is open
to any enterprising company.
Delicious fritters may have
stale bread for a foundation; if care
is taken In removing any or all of the
crust that is dark brown, the fritters
will be light-colortd, and very invi
ting in appearance. Eggs are a good
addition in the proportion of four
eggs to one quart of sweet milk, a
salt-spoonful of salt, and four or five
slices of bread are also required. The
bread should lie soaking in the milk
for two hours. It can be broken into
small bits, and then it will not be
lumpy.
The blind couple who recently mar
ried near Dadesville have proven to be
successful housekeepers. The bride,
who can see but little, the other day,
while pouring out hot coffee for her
husband, wnn passed hi3 cup back to
have it refilled, dimly saw, hi3 white
collar, and thinking that tne cup, be
gan to pour the coffe down his back.

Metal Poison.
I am a coppersmith by trade, and during a
series ol years my arms ( being bare when at
work), i.ave absorbed a wonderful amount of
metal poison. Having a scrofulous tendency
from my youth, the small particles of copper
and brass would get into the sores, and by
thi process the poison was conveyed into my
blood till my whole system became infected. I
was treated with the old remedies of mercury
and Iodide potassium. Salivation followed,
my teeth are all loose in my head, my digest
ive organs deranged, and I have been helpless
In bed ior over a year with mercurial rheuma
tism. My joints were all swollen, and I lost
the use of my arms and legs, and became
helpless as an infant.
M v sunerinus became so intense mat it was
Impossible for me to rest. The doctors advised
me to no to the City Hospital tor treatment.
This I could not bear. A friend , who has prov
en a friend indeed, urged me to try Swift's
Specific, believing it would cure me. Others
discouraged me, but I secured a few bottles,
and have now taken two dozen bottles. The
first effect of the medicine was to bring the
poison to the surfac? , and 1 broke out all over
in running sores. They soon disappeared , and
my skin cieared off. My knees, which had be
come twice their natural size, have resumed
their usual size, and are supple as of yore. My
arms and hands are all right again, and caa
use them without pain. The entire alsease has
left all parts of the body, save two ulcers on
my wrists, which are healing rapidly. I am
weak from long confinement, but I have the
use of ali my limbs. This medicine is bringing
me out of the greatest trial of my life, ai.d I
cannot find words sufficient to express my ap
appreciation of its virtues, and the gratitude I
feel that 1 ever hesrd of it.

Malarial Poison.
The drouth In Southwest Georgia last spring
dried up the wells, and we were compelled to
use water from the creek on the plantation.
The result was that all were troubled with
chills and fever. I carried with me several
bottles of Swift's Specific, and as long as I took
it, i naa perir-ct nsaicn . as soon as i ceasea
taking it, I, like the rest, was afflicted with
chills, when I resumed its use I was all right
again. We have used it In our family as an
antidote for malarial poisen for two or three
year, and have never known it to fail in a
single Instance.
