HIS ENEMIES
It is Clamed has Strengthened
Creek’s Canvass.
Washington, September 4.
4 Had it not been for the criticisms
and savage rousting* of outside
newspapers, Col. Breckinridge
would have been defeated in his
race for congress,’’ said Edward
Atkinson, a broker and leading
citizen of Henderson, Ky.
“The people of bis dist riot natur
ally resented this foreign castiga
tion of a Kentuckian, whatever his
sins might have been, and conse
quently are going to show their
disapproval of the outside attacks
by sending Breckinridge back to
congress.
At least that is my belief, and
such is the opinion of j’early all
the good politicians with whom I
have discussed the subject. The
c donel should be under deep obli
gations to his enemies, for if th* y
bad kept silent there was hardlv a
chance tor him towin.”

FUN WITH A SEA TURTLE.
An Experience That Netted Some Profit
• to l he Old Sea Ctiptau..
"1 r.m reminded,'* said (tn old coast
ing captain t<* a Washington Star man
recently, “of an experience I once had
with sea turtles on the edge of the !
gulf stream, about sixty miles from
Hatterr.s. I wna part owner and cap- |
tain of the Mary Lyle at that time, and 1
wits coming up from Savannah with a
half cargo of rice, when, one morning, f
the lookout yelled to me to come up on !
deck and look ut the wa turtles. When ■
I got up and looked over the rail, the I
whole ooean, as far as I qoutd see I
ahead of us. waa covered with turtles, i
They were tremendous fellows, and I
wire paddling along lazily in the op
posite direction to that in which we
were going. It didn't take us long to
rig up a windlass and tackle and begin
pulling some »f the old fellows aboard I
We picked the biggest, as the came, j
and in the course of three hours we had
caught twenty-six, about all that we
could handily dispose of about the
ship. Only nine of them lived until
we reached New York, and we sold
them for good prices. The shell of one
that weighed four hundred and seven
ty pounds is now in front of an eating ,
house on Houston street. New York. I
would hate to say how many turtles ]
were in sight of the Mary Lyle that
day, for fear somebody might think I
was fish-yarning, but they came by us ,
steadily for five hours, and when we '
got well into the school it extended as •
far as the eye could reach on all sides,
and there was a turtle to about every
forty square feet of water, and I didn’t
see one that weighed less than one
hundred end fifty pounds.”
DEADLIEST KNOWN POISON.
Sbophanthkiin, from an African Plant,
an zltom of Which Is Dangerous.
To the best of our knowledge, says
the Brooklyn Eagle, the most deadly
poison is that«which was discovered by
Prof. Frazer, of Edinburgh, Scotland,
and known as shophanthidin. He sep
arated it from the African poison
plant, shophanthus hispidus. by means
of ether and alcohol. As little as a one
thousand-millionth part of an ounce of
crystallized shophanthidin produces a
distinctly injurious effect upon the
heart, and a very small quantity is [
fatal. Another deadly poison is cyano
gen gas. the principal ingredients of ,
hydrocyanic or prussic acid.
At ordinary temperatures it is sim
ply a gas, but can be condensed by cold
and pressure into a thin, colorless
liquid anji becomes a solid at thirty
degrees Fahrenheit. The inhalation in
its gaseous state of a most minute
quantity would cause instant death.
One of the most deadly poisons
is urseniuretted hydrogen, or arsenic,
which is formed by decomposing
an alloy of arsenic and zinc with sul
phuric acid. It is a colorless gas, pos
sessing a fetid odor of garlic, and acts
as a most deadly poison.
Adolph Ferdinand Gehlen. a chemist,
born almut 1775 at Butow, in Pomer
ania. was the discoverer of it. While
experimenting with it at Munich, on
July 15. he inhaled a single bubble of
pure gas and died in eight days
from the effects. The accident oc
curred through his smelling at the
joints of his apparatus to discover a
flaw. Others engaged in chemical
operations h« ve died from the effects
of this poison in three days.
EXTRA POLITE.
A French Count Who Could Not Be Out
done In Gallantry.
Frenchmen of the old school did at
times tremendously polite things, such
as breaking their necks to pick up a
lady's fan, or setting fire to a house to
dry her when caugiit in a shower of
rain, or running through the body any
one who should dare to say that her
foot was large or her nose red. In our
days Frenchmen are not such idiots,
and yet they sometimes do exceeding
ly foolish things in the polite line.
This story, for example, is related of a
Count de Lecouiteux.
In descending the staircase of the
opera one night a lady of his acquaint
ance had a lace diess of considerable
value torn by a man treading on it.
After an exclamation of impatience
she turned the count and said:
“Have you a pin?” “Madame,” he said,
“I don’t carry a pincushion, but here is
one,” and he drew from his breast a
valuable diamond. “Sir,” said the
lady, nettled probably by his retort
about the pincushion, “I cannot accept
a diamond from you.” “Well, then,”
refctrned he, “here is a pin without a
diamond;” and breaking off the jewel
he threw it out of the window and pre
sented the simple pin.
On an Indian Hunting Tour.
The most exciting and by far the
most interesting hunting expeditions I
ever went on. said Capt. M. P. Wallace,
an ex-army officer, to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, “were those with the
Indians while I was stationed on the
plains. The consummate grace and
skill of the men and the speed and
agility of their ponies were well dis
played on such occasions as these. Fre
quently the hunt would be signalized
by some daring feat of bravado. On ■
one occasion I saw an athletic young |
Indian ridehi.shor.se up close to the side I
of a big buffalo bull and spring from i
the horse on to the back of the buffalo, |
ride the savage creature several hun- |
dred yards, and then with his knife
give it its death stroke.”
Lived ii Lifetime in Twelve Years.
Tite most remarkable instance of
rapid growth was recorded by the
French academy in 1729. It was a boy
six years of age, five feet six inches in
height. At the age of five his voice
changed, at six his beard had grown,
and he appeared a man of thirty. He
possessed great physical strength, and
could easily lift to his shoulders and
carry bags’of grain that weighed two
hundred pounds. II is decline was as
rapid as his growth. At eight his hair
and beard were gray; at ten he tot
tered in his walk, his teeth fell out
and his hands became palsied; at
twelve he died with every outward
sign of extreme old age.
