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.” Year’s Support.

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. “INTERESTING TO AILIJ’ Art Potterv, Bric-a-Brae, Onyx Tables, Liberary, Hall and Sewin Lamps.
