Drnlh of Josh Billinas, the Well-Known
Humorist.
Henry W. Shaw, the humorist, known to
the literary world as “Josh Billings," diod at
Monterey, Cjal., the other morning, from a
stroke of aioploxy. The body was embalmed
and sent Hast. Mr. Shaw was sixty-five
years old, having been born in Lanesborough,
Berkshire county, Mass., in 1820. He re¬
sided in his native town until ho
had reached the age of fourteen,
when he went West and for 80V-
era! yearn lead a frontier life, being engaged
in the various Occupations of steering stcr.m-

Cities. Finally, Incoming weary of this ir-
teguinr daughters life, and being desirous of giving his
a better education than the limited
facilities in tho West at that time afforded,
Mr. Shaw in 1865 removed to Pough¬
keepsie, ing N. Y., and devoted himself to edit¬
a small paper. It was while engaged in
this work that he \yroto tho first humorous
article which attracted attention, principally
by its phonetic spelling. He called it “Essa
Oil t he Muel.” It was extensively copied, and
the name of Josh Billings soon became known
throughout his death his tho land. From that tune until

financial success, One weekly paper

large and steady revenue. In 1S73 ho began
the book publication of his “Farmers’ Almanac,”

127,000 copies, and in ten years had netted
the author and publisher *30,000 each. Mr.

Wedding Guests Poisoned.
A decided sensation was produced at Hones-
dale, Penn., the other night, by tho discovery
that a dozen or more guests at a swell wed-
ding had been poisoned by some food that
was furnished by a Scranton caterer for the
wedding breakfast. At noon Miss Hattie
Weston, daughter of a leading Harry Houosdale Battin,
merchant, was married to S.
superintendent of the Consumers’ Gas com¬
pany, of Chicago. The couple left on the
afternoon train, and hardly had been rolled
to the depot before it was noticed
that the guests began to depart with
unseemly haste. They were afflicted with
intense pain in the abdominal region, that
iuer, asea so rapidly that some of them had
hardly time to make their adieu properly.
At their homes physiei-.ns wn-j r.unur. mineral --rl,

At 8 o’clock fourteen persons were under

The Perils at Peru.
Advices from 1 lina state that two officers
of the rebel Caeeres’ army, Colonel Collazos
and Major Muniz, were recently ordered to
tho Peruvian capital to deliver certain com¬
munications to the representatives and se¬
cret agents of the revolutionary loaders.
These officials met with no difficulty in
their journey down toward the coast,
but when they reached a point near
Lurin, thirty miles south of Lima, they wore
captured by cavalry outposts and immedi¬
ately sent to the capital under guard. On ar¬
riving at the police office they were searched,
and on their persons were found letters in
Caeeres’ handwriting to soveral of his princi¬
pal partisans at Lima and to his wife, and
other eonimrinications to be forwarded to
Arequipa, all of which contained informa
tion which was very damaging to the rot
rause. Before the next morning the guard
bouses were well filled with prisoners more
or less implicated in the schemes of the rebel
general. Ica has fallen into the hands of the
Caceristas. The most barbarous atrocities
were committed by the victors, who assaulted
women and burned and robbed dwellings. It
is reported that General Iglesias proposes
taking the field against the enemy.
Senators Getting Information.
A Washington dispatch says that “some of
the Republican combination Senators obtain have formed a sort
of a to complete in¬
formation concerning the removals and
appointments which the President has
made, with a view to intelligent before action
when the appointments come the
Senate for confirmation. As an instance of
how this matter is being handled,
it is reported that a discharged prominence treas¬

A few mornings since the wife of Jean Bap¬

was feeding her fowls, while her child, aged
about two years, was playing around, when
suddenly a large bald-headed eagle swooped
down and bore the little one off in its talons.
The child screamed and extended its arms to
its mother, who was beside herself with men¬
tal agony, but was powerless to render as¬
sistance. The screams of the child, however,
attracted the neighbors, who with shotguns
pursue 1 tlie eagle. The bird wasseen to alight
with its prey upon the roof of a barn a mile
distant. Lifting up its head, with one power¬
ful stroke it drove its beak into the child’s
head, and then began its horrid feast. At the
near approach of the neighbors, who were fir¬

Advices from abroad state that war is im¬

Turkey, says: “The populace are fleeing.
Rumors are current that tho Servian army
has crossed the frontier. The government
has telegraphed to Philippopolis, entreating
Prince Alexander to return. A telegram
from Nisch says that the Servian war office
has given contracts for 6,000,000 kilos of
corn. Troops are advancing toward Akpa-
lanka and I^skowacz.”
The war fever runs high throughout Servia,
and active preparations are going on to en¬
force Servia’s demand for an extension of ter¬
ritory. English, French and Austrian firms
have been tendered contracts by the govern¬
ment to supply complete outfits for 25,000
troops, and all the contracts have been al¬

A Berlin despatch says Germany with the

has proposed in a plan for the settlement of

principles be observed: First, that

that Turkey be advised to complete her mili¬
