of nil ruinous Works.
Deputy Coroner Scholar, who narrowly
escaped bottle death recently from mil fling at tlio
front which f Mary Van Orden
hud drunk prussic acid and died, told a
reporter about it,
“YTitli mo in Mies Van Orden’s room,”
lie said, ‘Vos Dr. .T. F. Territiorry. Wc
had been told that Miss Van Orde.i
was in the habit of taking morphine, and
os 1 had not yet been told that sho had
bought prussic acid, I sapposed I was
going to smell of Mnjendio’s solution. I
passed tho vial wo found back and forth
under my nose tbreo or four times and
got a good eniff of the acid. It lias a
tuveof, nliuond flavor, pungent and uot at
all disagreeable. Then I passed thebottle
to Dr. Terrlbprry, and ho took a snilT. I
noticed that lie was growing pate. Then
1 bogsjii to fuel faint and weak myself.
“Dr. Terriberry and I clutched earl)
3ther and reekxl. haflicr would Java
Julian without the support of the other. 1
held on Li him and called for fresh air.
V. a wort> led to the door and down two or
three flights of stairs. It was with the
greatest difficulty that I drew rev breath.
Aly etmschniMWB was perfect, biit I had
no control of tny anus or hands or of tav
lower liuihf. When I tried to step l raised
bay foot two fiict from tho ground, and
when I tried to feel of my pulse I could
of vise my hands. I noticed that tho blood
{md hsft the finger nails and that my
hands were white as chalk. All through
ray body it seemed as though the blood
wore driving toward ray heart. How I
rot to the drug store at Ninth avenue and
1 -Tty-eighth street l don’t know. A
JVung.-uau there said sulphate of mag
nesia was an antidote for prussic acid, but
U isct t. 1 took the dose, however, end
then was led to the Forty-seventh street
police station. Capt. KUlilea prescribed
brandy, and aa he believes in large doses,
gave me so much that l was drunk
idler taking it, I told Capt. Killilea of my
tlilUculty to iu breathing, and told him how
u.oye my arms up and down. He
lifted n window in the police station and
worked uty arms like a pump for » long
time, causing an actifieial movement of
the ri'os.
“Then I was taken to the Tloosevelt

the work vigorously at the last acre

of stalks and the rushing sound of falling
cane tops, comes the even melody of the
negroes as they chant Jubilee songs.
There Is only a little cane left. The mea

of haste; but not puttiiigc moro than they

four mules in evpry cart have a briarht

Besides these there aro from ono to
three great flags supported iu every wagon
by a proud darkey, Malay or white man,
as the ease muy bp. tUberi tho liuc is

comes 'the leader’s cart, in which stands
the man with the lust stalk held upright,

of tho planter’s household are solicited
each year to manufacture! and much
envied is the man to whom they are pre

All the mfll whistles arc blowing, and the
much-respected plantation bells are left in

tlio arms of thp ringers are worn out. The
procession is gjected at the sugar house
With great rejoicing, speeches are indulged

from tho quarters and clamber into the

There is a great shrieking of whistles,
roaring mingled of with inncfiihcry, the sounds crushing of'song of canc

planter, who, there of course, has to return

where Die plantation storekeepers receive
their shore of attention. Tho procession
goes to as many plantations ns possible,
and In tho dusk, as (he fog comes rolling
in from tho river, swooping across the
empty Holds and winding in and out of
tho border of the wood*, almost a tnilo
away, one hears tho sound of a beautiful
negro melody,
We are waiting on do LorJ,

way of lugs mid poultry. Moro liquor is
drunk, more speeches made, and tho
planter's entire fence is serenaded by the
untirigg crowd riut.il u hue hour.
Bcfvn;o the rising hell rings tho fog
sweeps golden, in into eddying blue folds, white mid pale
the oak woods, and dis
closes tho quarters silent, for the very
flogs are sleeping. Here and there gray
Itudke curls up above the cabins; the bell
quavers its summons. Thare is a long,
waking howl from the dogs, and sdvarp
calls ef negro women. Soon ti largo part

A Curious Passorer Custom.
The painting of a hand on t he houses in
Tunis. Algiers, etc., is not a Jewish cus
tom, but is common to the natives of rheso
and other countries. It is alwnvs an em
blem of gvxt luck, mid is in Syria—also ia
Naples—achartu against the evil eye. The
n.onds rnsranged in form of a branch are
merely an esthotif term of tho cliarra.
The reason Jews put it on their walls at
passover is because at that season of tho
year their houses arc renovated inside and
cut. Capt Cornier remarks that the hand
was iu use as a charm bv'thc Phoenicians,
aad occurs on votive steles at Carthage—
the site of the modern Tunis—whence it
doubtless spread to neighboring states.
He also relates tiwu the “hand is painted
on walls, and occurs,' for ins' tho e”
