Tho preparations of arsenlo, opium,
and the pruAsiatos (cyanides) are tho
Hubstauces most frequently employed as
poisons In this country. Tho symp
toms attending slow poisoning by arsen-i
ical and antimonial compounds aro fre
quently such as 'might appear to bo
owing to natural causos, and it is to be
foarudj that moro instances of secret
immhu.' due to such causes havo oc
curred than hayu been detected.
The following is u condensed state
ment of the characteristics, symptoms,
antidotes and simplo methods of testing
for and identifying spine of tho noro
common poisons
PoisoiiH are usually divided into three
classes irritant, narcotic and narcotic
irritant. Irritant poisons aro, usually
considered under tho heads of mineral
or metallic and noTi-muiullic irri
tants, vogolablp irritants and animal
irritants. In thp first, pf these divisions
are arsenic and its compounds- arson!
ous acid (white arsenic), metallic ar
senic, ily powder, potassium arsonito
(Kowlor's solution), arsonioacld, arsenic
sulphides (yellow orpimont and rod
realgar), arsenical pastes, soaps, otc.
This fearful poison lias of late years
caused moro untimoly doaths than any
other mineral poison. Homo of tho in
solublo compounds of arsenio aro not so
rapid in their action upon tho svstom as
tho more soluble onos, but tho'ro is not
n single compound into which arsenio
outers that is not capablo of causing fa
tal results wnun lauou into tlio system.
From half an hour to an hour uftor
tho arsenio has boon swallowed tho per
son bogins to feel a nameless uneasi
ness, developing into faintnoss, depres
sion and ntiusca, with an intense burn
ing pain in tho region of tlio stomach,
increased by prossuro, retelling, vomit
ing, senso of constriction in tho throat,
with intenso thirst; diarrhea, more or
loss violent, accompanied by cramps in
tho calves of tho legs; matter dis
charged from tho stomach of a dark
groonish color, somotlmos streaked with
lood. Tho pulse bocomos small, fro
quont and irregular; skin cold and
clammy in the state of collapso, at other
timos very hot; respiration painful;
oyos rod and bright. Sometimes tlio
sufferer becomes unconscious or suffers
partial paralysis or tetanic convulsions
precursors oi uuatn. j.noso symp
toms will vary according to tho naturo
of the compound anil tho quantity
taken.
Thoro is no specijio antidoto for
arsenic, and romedios aro rarely at
tended with suocoss if not applied at
nn early stago. Mixtures of olive oil
and llmo water promptly administered
nfter tho ofloctual usoof an omotio havo
boon rocommondod; rocontly precipi
tated hydratod oxido of iron mixed with
mngnosia has also boon used with favor
able results. No chemical antidoto
should ovor suporsodo aotivo ovacuont
treatmout by emetics and with tho
stomach pump.
Lead or its salts aro often taken into
tho systom unawares in drinking wa
ter which has boon allowed to stand in
load pipes or reservoirs, or in preserved

Thp usual antidote's are solution of taii

ThoHyniptonis of poisoning with cop-,
ppr Hivlts aro similar to those produced
br arsenic, but the vomited matters aro
blup or green, ahd thoro is Usually a
"ooppory taste"' in the mouth. Tho
ttsiial antidote are warm water to pro
mote vomiting, white of eggs, strong
tea or tannin solutions, and weak" solu
tions of "protoslilphato of iron or potas
sium ferro-oyauido iu water.
Salts or preparations containing
muroury iu any form corrosive sub
limate, white p"rocipiuitc, black oxide,
red precipitate, mercuric iodido, Ver
million, mercuric sulphate, mercuric
ointments, otc. aro extremely poison
ous. A few minutes after swallowing
any of thoso a coppery" taste is ob
served, followed by a sense of constric
tion iu thp throat and irritation of the
throat and stomach. Nuusoa and vom
iting soon occur, tho vomited matter
consisting of coagulated mucus and
blood. Diarrhea follows, and tlio face of
the patient becomes swollen and alter
nately flushed and pale. Tho nulso be
comes small and irregular, tlio skin clam
my, mid respiration labored. In ex
treme cases thp interior of the lips be
come swollen, and tho tongue whito and
shriveled. Tho case frequently term
inates with syncope convulsions, or
general insensibility. Egg albumen ad
ministered with warm witter to allay
tho irritation and produce vomiting is
tlio usual antidoto. Milk and gluten or
flour is also recommended. Active, of
lorts should at onco bo made to effect
tho qntiro expulsion of tho contents of
tlio stoniach. Tlio stomach pump can
not bo used.
Tho oporation of ' such narcotic poi
sons as opium and prussio noid or prus
iato of potash. (hydrocyanic acid or po
tassium oyunido) isconlinod chiclly to
tlio spinal marrow and brain.
Tho. effects of hvdrocvauiu acid (and
potassium or olnor similar pyauidp) aro
almost instantaneous; it is very rarely
tho caso that they aro dplayod moro
than twp or threo minutes. On tho
other hand, cases pf fatal poisoning by
opium do iot torminuto earlier than'
from six to twolvo hours.
In cases of poisoning by cyanides
emetics and tlio stomach pump lire at
onco called into requisition. Freshly
procipitatcd hydro-iron oxido, if admin
istered immediately,, is porhups ono of
tho host antidotes. Chlorine water in
jected into tho stomach is also recom
mended. Nitrato of silvor yiplds with solution
of tho solublo cyanides a whito precipi
tate When a low drops of a solution
of potash in gum wator is mixed witli a
small sample of the suspected liquid
and solution of sulphato of iron is then
added a dark brown prooipitato sepa
rates in a few minutes. This prooipi
tato, whou agitated with sulphuric acid,
develops a doop blue color if oyunides
woro prosont.
Those nro only a few of tuo long list
of aotivo poisons, but they include those
which aro in nine cases out of ton re
sponsible for tho fearful record of poi
soning cases. And it is assuredly true
that but for want of a little tiinoly and
doiinito knowledge respecting common
poisons and thoir antidotes such as wo
iiuvo endeavored to briolly skotcli above
the list of fatalitios from poisoning
might havo boon shortened one-third.

rcspoiulcil promptly, intelllKontly and with

Mr. Hcochor nnd tho Voutifr Men's Christian

Htory ot his connection with tho Oneida Com
munity and his experiences there, his at
tempts to start a paper in New Vork and his
lejfiu oxporlenees In Chlcnjfo. Ho had boon in
Jail several times, but never for erlmo. Ho
then detailed his attempt to buy tho
Jntir-Omui of Chlcairo. After tho failure
of thnt plan ho went Into theology, and that
panned out worso tlinii tho newspaper busi
ness. Ho became Intercsto 1 in tho question
of thasecoud coining of Christ, and wroto a
lecture on the subject. His idea was, briolly,
that tho second coming or Christ occurred on
the destruction of Jerusalem, in tho olouds,
directly ovor Jerusalem; that it was an event
in the spiritual world, and that the destruction
or Jorusnloiii was tho outward sign or Ills
coming. Ho held that, tor nil these eighteen
centuries, the churches nave oeon in error in
supposing tho second coining of Christ to be
in tho titture. That Is the proposition on
which ills leotiiro wiw written, and Hint
was tho result of threo or tour years'
Investigation on that subjoct. Witness related
his various failures iu delivering that lecture.
On several occasions ho was put off railroads
for not p.iying Ills tare, and arrested for not
paying his boarding bills. Ho did not make
any money, but he went Into the business to
nerve the Lord, and tho monoy part was of no
conso iiienco. Ho related his oxporlonco at
lieatlng his way into Washington by tho rail
road and his success in securing a boarding
houso there when ho was entirely destitute of
money, and claimed that it was accomplished
solely through the Interposition of l'rovl
doneo. Here Oultcnu showed signs or exhaus
tion, and, at tho instnuoo of tho District-Attorney,
tho Court adjourned
Oulteau was taken directly to the witness
box on tlio oponiug of Court on tho IWth ult.
and resumed his personal reminiscences. Ho
narrated his experience in tho lecture Held.

and read an extract thorofrom descriptive of
tho trials or the Apostle J'tiiil iu endeavor
ing to introduce Christianity. Wltnoss
claimed that ho had hnd as rough a tlmo as
over l'nul had. Witness then detailed his ef
forts to sectiro omnlovinent as a Honubllcau
campaign speaker, and said ho was on fiee
and easy terms with Jewell and tho rost of
them, lie made his llrst application for olllci

Thoy just got it lit whon the visitors
came in, and father and mother came
down stairs to meet them. Mr. Brad

said: " Susan, you and Mr. Travers
soom to have hail, an accident with tho

You nover saw such a sight as thoso
poor young people were. 1 had made
a mistake, and brought down a bottlo
of liquid blacking tho same that 1
blacked tho baby with that time. Mr
Travers had put it all ovor Suo'.s face., young swell swooping past in broad

his own faco until ho was like an
Ethiopian leopard, only he could chango
his spots if ho used soap enough.
You couldn't havo any idea how
angry Suo was with mo just as if it
was my fault, whon all I did was to go
up stairs for her, and get a bottlo to
bring her to witli; and it would havo
boon all right if she hadn't loft tho
blacking bottlo on her bureau; and I
don't call that tidy, if she is a girl. Mr.
Travors wasn't a bit angry; but lie camo
up to my room and washed his face,
and laughed all tho time. And Suo got
angry with him, and said she would
uovor speak to him again aftor disgrac
ing her in that vheartless way. So ho
went homo, and I could hear him
laughing all tho way down tho street,
ami Mr. Bradford and his folks thought
that ho and Suo had boon having a
minstrel show, nnd mother thinks
they'll never come to tho house again.
As for father, ho was almost as much
amused as Mr. Travors, and he said it
sorved Suo right, and ho wasn't going
to punish tho boy to ploaso hor. Of
courso this was all an accidont, and I
was dreadfully sorry about it. Jimmy
