POIl~38IS PLANTS.
rWhat Tn.y A mad ens aiisiUas .,
-Prof Wilson Flagg observes that it is
Important that all who ramble in the
woods should be able to identify the
posonous plants, not only that they may
avoid them, but that they may feel a
mre when such plants are near them.
Some of the mostdangerouas plants which
-r e ed for mediciasl purposes may be
andled with perfct safety. I am not
ware, on the other hand, that any bad
bets come from the internal use of the
uices of either of the two poison unm
cha which cause a violent inflammation
hen handled by certain people.
If I remember correctly, Kahm, the
w 'edish botanist, tried a variety of ex
-eriments with the poison dogwood. He
ubbed its leaves on his ace and hands
nd drank a decoction of its leaves. All
his was done with impunity. If I am
orrect in thisstatement I would thank
ny reader who has a correct knowledge
Sthe facts to set me right I have no1
means of examining the source of my in-,,
mnuation. The inflammation caused by
le poison ivy and the poison dogwood :
smbles erysipelas; but it is not dan-I

popular belief that if one has suffered

Some sammng recollections of Madme.
Patti's early life have just been publish
ed by Froulein Douima law. This lady,
we are told, lived with the great prima
donna from 1863 to 1877. The record be
ins with the appearance of the seven
teen-year-old donna prima in Lendom,
and is carried down to the time when
the disturbances in the domestic sakirs
of the Marquis de Coux appear to have
Eosed aseparation between the two la
liis. Fisulein Lauw begins by telling
how the Patti family mao the he acquaint
mce of a venerable Italian, to whom
Patti became so attached that she called
him her "dear paps." She was at his
home siarly every day, and there one
evening at dinner met two young Milan
-e of very engagim manners. With
ne of these handsome young fellows
she fell in love.
"Papa Pa" was conaulted, and gave

'Walt," he said.
The betrothed lovers bad toaccept the
nbending decision of the fesher, ad

c alone whose enthusiasm enraged the
oung Othello; the laws of his jealousy
eaed also over the artiates who sup- I
orted her. Whe the great Mario, as
tomeo, kissed his Juliet, it seemed as if
he jealous one hunted in hispokets for
bomb with which to destroy his sap- I
nsed rival.
More and more consumed by jealousy,

new engagements in order to sing with
Patti. The domestic catastrophe in the
house of the Marquis de Caux is des
cribed es follows
When the Moscow season was ap
proaching its end the marqnis learned
that Nicolini intended to come from Na
pl to St. Peter.burg, and. after break
ing his contract at the former place, had
offered to sing at the latter twelve times
without conpensation. Immediately on
his arrival in the Russian metropolis
the marquis demanded that "Romeo
and Juliet," in which opera Nicolini was
to sing the part of Romeo, should be
stricken from the repertory, and that
there should be no joint appearance of
this singer and his wife in the season.
The directors assured the marquis that
his demands should be complied with;
comtrained, probably, by the two artistes,
they nevertheless permitted the an
nouncement of Nicoini's appearance in
"Tzvist-."
In his rage, oecause of this duplicity
of the directors, the marquis sent word
to Impremario Ferry that he was deter
mined not to permit his wife to appe-:
talL Inhis dea"ir Ferry prormsed
to substitute Massini for Nicoini; but
when the curtain rose on the evening
of the perlo onance Nicolhni nevertheless
appeared on the stage. The continued
excitement threw me upon a ick bed.
The physician declared that a speedy
change of air was the best merltine for
me. The marquis understood only too
well how this prescription fitted my
illness; he felt that my recovery in his
house was not to be hoped for.
"Adelina received the intelligence of
my imminent departure with indiffer
ence," says the Fraulein sadly. "Our
farewell was exceedingly cool and from
ty, as if it was a stranger instead of a
friend, a sister. In her I had lost the
dearest thing on earth. A few weeks
later the Marulu de Caux shared the
los with me.

"I want $6 for the election, miss?"
"No."
"Why do you refuse? And when did
a you give anything?''
Well, none of us girls give anything,
now, and we don't intend to, and we
t hain't for most two years."
f The above was a bold attempt of mine
to pet at the truth, and I think I got it
in the above answer from the pale, black
eyed little Georgia girl who sat snipping
off the edges of note-paper in the Treas
u ry Department. I went from this place
to the l Oee. About the same ae
suit. At the Patent Offce I asked of a
Sgroup of young ladies: "How much do
youa give to the election fund this year?"
"Nix," "Nein,' 'No cents," and so on
Scame in chorus along with lots of shrugs
Sof shoulders and shakes of dishevelled
"And when did you contribute last?"
"Well, Cal Schurs sort o' set his big
Dutch foot on that, and we stopped when
he came."
"Oh I Sis I he ain't Dutch, and he ain't
º got big feet." said a sweet sentimental
Miss, from St. Louis, who evidently, from
I the unfaded roses on her cheek, was new
to the office; and she shoak herself from
r the shoulders down very violently.
However, after a deal of side talk and
very small quarreling among us it was I
generally agreed that "centributions,"
whieh had been the rule before Carl
Schurs came into the Cabinet, had gen
erally from that time fallen off, until
now they are an exception. I went to
another department on the same errand.
To a little red-haired lady from Chicago,
who had a dash of ink across her dim
pled chin, I aid. "What would you 'do
it you were asked to contribute to the
election?" "I'd take his name and num
ber, and report him in about three
shakes of a dead lamb's tail;" and she
tossed up her smudged little chin as if
she meant it. and fairly made the green- 4
backs fy as I passed on. The other sex,
however, may "contribute;" the bigger
ones at least. But the evil is scotched,
if not killed.

Man is by nature an imitator, whether
as regards manners and customs, or the
various manufacturing processes, which
conduce either to his convenience or to
his luxuries. If a particular style of gar
ment or fabric be introduced of a costly
nature, and which can be indulged in
only by the wealthy, the first thought is,
how can it be initatedand made lear ex
pensive, and still be thought genuine?

The story of the *rouble i t IN l .1ti,111n1
L. Sullivan and Patrick Coakleh in tili
city last week has not I len :ac('IarateI'
told. Frou all that can ie, lear .e!'
Coaklev was playing pol t ith boalue
friends in McKay's saloon when Sullivan
and his friends entered. Coakle.v a:ikedl
Sullivan tojoin him in a drink and Sul
livan refused. When ('oakley hal i in
ishled his game of billiards he w.ts all,,lt
to retire, w'en Sullivan asked him t,.
'take a drink." Coakley rei:arked.l:
"No I don't care to do that, but I'll play
you one game of pool for a bottle of
wine." "I go you;" remarked Sullivan.
The balls were placed, and Sullivan won
the break or first shot. He failed to
pocket a ball, and Corkley followed
with a stroke which resulted in two balls
pocketed. Sullivan pla) ed again without
effect, and Coakley follo:ved with a run
ofseveral balls, whereupon Suliivaan's
chums displaced the balls that remained
on the table and broke the game ulp.
Coakley then put his cue in the rack,
and Sullivan followed hium up tellini a
him he was "a fraud," "a sucker." eAk.
Coakley told John L. that he knew
better than that.
Sullivan answered that he had known
Coskley when he kept a little "gin mill"
at the south end, and when he didn't
pt on so many airs as he did now, and
didn't have a cent.
Coakley told John L. that the stat'
ment was untrue, and that he had plenty
of money before Sullivan was born; nmore
ovel, he had befriended Sullivan when
he was ;n hard lines, in fact. "when hie
didn't have a shirt to his back." Sulli
van thereupon bcamne exce.'dinly
wroth, made an aggressive movement
toward Coakley and continued his abuse.
Coakley warned him not to step a foot
forward, and drew a revolver. McKay
had seised Qullivan meanwhile and
pushed him toward a billiard table.
Thoroughly aroused by what had taken
place, Coakley called Sullivan an "Irish
- - " and followed the epithet with
the remark: "If anyone called me that
I'd kill him." Sullivan had now made
another forward movement, so that Me
Kay did not fully shield him., -and im
mediately Coakley raised his revolver
and pulled the trigger..
As his arm went up, th, barrel of the
revolver was grasped by a bystander,
and the hammer, falling with force,
made an ugly wound, but saved the
man's life, for, if the hamaner had fallen
without striking his hand, he would
have been killed instead of Sullivan, as
the muzzle of the "gun" was pointed in
the direction of his abdomen when the
hammer ell.
Here the trouble ceased, !.u!. those
who know Coakley any that he will al
ways be on the alert for Sullivan, and
if the champion ever lifts a hand or
makes an aguressive movement toward
him he will surely kill him if he gets
"the draw."
Men in the gambling fraternity say
that Sullivan was not justified in acting
ra he did with Coakley, but that the
pugilist's mind had been poisoned against
the gambler by stones of bhnco men
md petty gamesters whom Coakley
would not allow in his place of business.
It is needless to say that all had been
irinking.
