A Columbia, S.C.,despatch gays ; The story of the poisoning of Dawho -Lake, Georgetown County, by a hailetorm, as recently described, has been corroborated in every particular by a pi -eminent citizen of Georgetown, who has investigated the matter at the request of Gen. Greely, Chief of the Weather Service. A dense mass of black gum trees surround the lake on all sides. It is well-known that the leaves of these tiees are strongly impregnated witla tannic Lipid. It has else been ascertained that the bottotu of the lake contains a relight deposit of iron. The poisoningof the water, therefore, is thus explained. The hailstorm filled the lake with bruised leaves and !small branches from the trees, the tannk aoidemitnating from which mingled with the iron and formed tannate of iron, causing the water to turn black as ink and bitter as quinine, and poisoning the fish by thousands. One spemes of the fish inhabiting this lake survived the singu- lar disaster, and that was the mud fish, -which buried itself in the mud at the bottom and thus escaped the effeets of the poison. The stench arising from the mass ,ef dead and rotten fish is described as fear- ful. The-411011=de of buzzardeiu taking -their departure in the evening for their roosting plaoe after a day's feast are de- scribed as making a noise similar to that of an approaching cyclone. On each end of Dawho Lake, about half a mile distant, is a small lake in whieh numbers of fish abound, but which upon examination show no signs of the hailstorm which swept over Dawho. This confirms the belief that the direct cause of the disaster to the fish isdue to the hailstorm. Frauds, Tragedies and Disease in cubit. A Havana despatch says : Three per- sons have been arrested for eOnneetiOn with the counterfeiting of the ticket that drew the capital prize of the last drawing of the Havana lottery. The fraud was not discovered until fractions of the false ticket to the value of $86,000 had been received and the money paid. The Holguin papers contain accounts of a horrible tragedy that •occurred there recently. A. workingman, as a precaution against emallpox, built a coal fire before retiring and placed thereon several leaves of tobacco, the fumes from which he had been told furnished ample safeguard against disease. On the following day the neigh- bors noticed the absence of any signs of life in the house, and informed the police. The door was forced and an awful dis- covery made. The workman and his wife and their eight children were all dead. The escaping gas from the coal had suffo- cated them. According to the Santiago de Colea papers there were 388 cases of smallpox in that neighborhood during May. Of these 150 proved fatal. From the lat to the 9th of June the number of cases was 170 and the deaths 35. The Green Flag Incident. A London cable says: The captureof the green flag carried by Mr. Murphy's yacht in Bantry Bay is causing a good deal of cerement. The following are the par. ticulars of the occurrence: Captain Black- burne, of H. M. S.

Bauclinet, United States Vice -Consul ai New Chwang, China, sends a harrowing account of a trip made by him through the flooded districts! of China. He was dis- tributing food and necessaries of life to the starving people, and relieved 896 persons. He said he found the people generally liv ing on bran, or the chaff of a large grass grown for feeding cattle. Some were reduced to -eating chopped grass, either moistened With hot water or baked in cakes, while others fed on the leaves and seeds of weeds gathered in the fields. In 'Some of the villages half of the dwelling places had been washed away and the inhabitante were huddled together in the remainirig, ones. The:deaths from 'starva- tion had been -art numerous, and the sights he saw in -settle �f the %lieges Were pitiable, t ' 4 Some time age a valuable canary of Ithaea lost its voice, and when taken t� a lotal bird dealer, [seemed t� bo chocking to death.

A Vienna cable says; Scandals seem to lie the order of the day, and that at Bel- grade seems to be the prettiest one of all. Queen Natalie, who left Belgrade for Rus- sia in consequence of her husband's in. fidelities, has been !staying for some time at the Czar'slimmer residence of Yalta. The Ring, in deadly fear of being mur, dered like his predeceesor, or kidnapped like Prince Alexander, has withdrawn to Vienna, where he is staying at the Era. peror's palace. Queen Natalie has now signified her intention of returning to Bel- grade, whereupon the Ring telegraphed in all haste to his Prime Minister Ristics, not to Allow the Queen to set her foot in the kingdom. M. Risties, however, who is not only a pronounced Russophile, but has also been guilty of the most flagrant and almost public relations with the Queen during the past three years, has refused to obey his master's orders. Meanwhile Queen Natalie sends back all her husband's letters un- opened, and openly advises his removal from the throne in favor of her 12 -year-old son, who is with her, Altogether there is as pretty a state of things at Belgrade at the present moment as could well be imagined. Late Scottish News. The jubilee of Bev. Dr, Macdonald, North Leith Free Church, was celebrated JUIle 15th. The mansion -house of Westerhill, near Annan, Dumfriesshire, the residence of Captain R. Ewart, was destroyed by fire on the 1.5th inst. The death is announced, in his 82d year, of Mr. Robert Johnston, of Mayfield,Looh- maben, Dumfriesshire. The deceased was long in the Indian Civil Service, and had seen much of life and sport in the East. In connection with the unveiling of the monument of Ring Alexander III. at Ring. horn, Fifeshire, on the 19th of July, the freedom of the burgh is to be conferred. upon Lord Eigin and Mr. William Nelson, Edinburgh. The raemoriabstone of the New Barony Parish Church, which is being erected in Townhead, Glasgow, nearly opposite the old building, was laid on the 15th by Colonel Hosier of Mauldslie Castle, in presence of a arge concourse. At a meeting of the Building Committee of the Edinbugh Public Library Committee, Lord Provost Clark presiding, it was arranged that the foundation -atone of the Library should be laid by Mr. Andrew Carnegie on the afternoon of Saturday, 9th July. A great honor has been conferred on a Dumfriesshire artist, Mr. W. E. Lockhart, R. S. A., he having been commissioned by the Queen to paint the picture of the Jubilee service in Westminster Abbey on the 21st June. Mr. Lockhart is a native of Annan. A Jubilee cairn has been raised on the top of Ben Ledi by the Highlanders in the district. A message was sent to Her Majesty to the following effect: "Loyal Highlanders by the sides of Loch Lubnaig and Looh Vennacher, and of Glenfinlas, climbed Ben Ledi and erected on the sum- mit of the hill a Jubilee Memorial Cairn, fourteen feet high. It Wan christened The Victoria Jubilee Cairn,' and the health of Her Majesty was entlusiasticallg pledged." According to a statement just published, colonial securities and investments are rising rapidly and greatly in favor with Britoil capitalists. Four years ago the capita us invested was estimated at 2600,0000 . •hile this year the amount is said to excee 700,000,000. This is not surprising, seein at colonial securities are not, like foreign es, subject to capri- 'ous fluctuations wit every false or silly or that is raised.

AN TINTARALLELED DASD, New York Girl's Attack of Iffccopos Lasting Six Mouths. A Fonda, N. Y., despatch says: The condition ofMiss Jennie Sullivan, who has been soffering for the past six months from hiccoughs, is still attroxiting the at- tention of the medical fraternity through - gut central New York. The case becomes more perplexing every day. Since the first attack of the malady 'Miss Sullivan Las been living entirely on milk, her stomach refusing to retain stronger fond. When she is suffering a paroxysm it re- quires the strength of three or four men to hold the young woman in bed, She is re- duced to little more then a skeleton but if her constitution is sufficiently strong it is said he can wear the hiccouglas out in time. The case is almost unparalleled in medical history, 807.110 Freaks of Natore. Mrs. Aosanna Dennis, of Tiffin, 0. died of dropsy seventeen years ago, and her body, which was disinterred the other ,day, was found to he thoroughly petrified, with the exception of the feet. It was so heavy that ten men were required to move it. A piece chipped from the body resembled flinty limestone. The wife of Mr. Hey, of Americus, Ga., wears a handsome breastpin which was made out of a petrified strawberry which grew on her husband's farm. The berry is beautifully. colored, resemblinga bright ruby, and is very hard. It weighs about two ounces, and glistens in the light like a ball of the. Ara Soule, of Grant, Minn, noticed that one of his favorite hens had ceased laying eggs, but was growing remarkably large. Finally, after attaining an astonishing size the hen died, and Mr. Soule was ourious enough to hold a post-mortem examination. He out the fowl open and was somewhat astonished when four well-developed spring ohickens popped out and began strutting around the barnyard. He supposes that some trouble with the hen's organization had stopped the egress of the eggs and that the natural heat of her body incubated the chicken germs. The petrified body of a human being was found on the farm of Martin Edwards, near Windsor, Ill. in a ditch last week. The body is that of a short fleshy person, and is supposed to be that of an ancient mound-builder. It is very hard, and looks exactly like soapstone. The head is long and narrow, the forehead high and promi- nent, with high cheek -bones, square chin and a small neck. The body was broken off at the knees, the lower limbs being missing. Its total length, to the knees, is two feet nine inches, and its weight is about 170 pounds. The climes Bill. A last (Thursday) night's London cable says: In the House of Commons to -night Mr. W. H. Smith moved that if the report on the Crimes Bill be not reached on Mon- day closure be applied. The Parnellites opposed the motion, which, however, was carried by a vote of 220 to 120. The Speaker then called upon the Parnellites to move the amendments standingopposite their names on the notice paper. The Parnellites who were watching the pro- ceedings from the meinbers' side made no reply. The amendments introduced by Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland were agreed to without debate and the Bill was reported. Mr. Balfour announced that the third reading of the Bill would be moved on Tuesday next. The Post says that Mr. Gladstone will move the rejection of the Crimes Bill when the measure comes up for its third reading. How He Fooled the Flies. A bald-headed St. Louis man, who has been troubled by flies, has devised a scheme ,to get rid of the troublesome insects. He noticed that a fly always walks upward. Put a fly on a window, and up he goes toward the top; he can't be made to walk downward. Forthwith he made a window screen divided in half. The upper half lapped over the lower, with an inch of space between. As soon as a fly would light on the screen it would proceed to travel up- ward, and would thus walk straight out -- doors. On reaching the top of the lower half he would be outside. Not being able to walk down, he had no way to return to the room. A Fast of Sixty-eight Days. A Pori Carlin, Muskoka, despatch says: Early yesterday morning Mr. F. BisSOn- erte, a former resident of Medora town- ship, died here after a fast of 68 days. Some two year ago the deceased had a paralytic stroke, which finally resulted in his being unable to take food, and he con- tinued in this condition for the period named. hip to Friday last he was quite able to Bit propped up in bed. Why It Was Called "She." When H. Rider Haggard was a child he had a very ancient and battered wooden doll, which had been handed down by a former generation, and was regarded, ugly as it was, with peculiar affeotion by the girls of the family. The doll, which had lost its eyes in the course of time, was known to all the children as" She." This is the origin of Mr. Haggard's odd title for his celebrated romance. How He Will Fix Them.

After arising and staggering about for a few minutes he again fell to the ground and almost instantly expired. Mr. John Shaw, private banker, of Wards- ville, has departed for the States, leaving behind him many confiding depositors to mourn his loss. He left letters stating that owing to heavy loans he was unable to meet his obligations, but hoped to do so at a future day. This event has paralyzed business in Wardsville, and is a tepie for the quidnunos to ponder over. His liabili- ties are reported to be over $10,000. The Maharajah of Jadhpore has donated 210,000 to the Imperial Institute. There is a scarcity of water in Belfast in consequence of the drouth and work in the mills is being partly stopped.

The Budget Committee of the French Chamber of Deputies have postponed the mobilization of the army until next year on the ground of economy. The relations between Germany and Rus- sia are becoming very strained, and atten- tion is drawn to the fact of the immense amount of German money that is invested in Russian bonds. The ;United Socialist Clubs of London are arranging a big excursion to Epping Forest on July 10th, and will send the proceeds to Chicago to relieve the Anarchists who are under sentence of death. The North Gerntan Gazette says that the policy pursued by France of persecuting foreigners: not excepting Englishmen, is a sufficient justification of the refusal of the Continental eountries to take part in the Paris Exposition.

Clerks salaries are made free from liability to seizure unless they ex- ceed $240 per annum. During the Jubilee festivities the Queen entertained over 5,000 guests. The ex- pense of entertaining all the sovereigns and princes from abroad during the past two weeks is borne entirely by the Queen's privy purse and is estimated at $600,000, if not more. Mgr. Scilla, the Papal Nuncio at Munich, who went to London to represent the Pope at the Queen's Jubilee, departed yesterday for Brussels. The Duke of Norfolk and a number of other distingnished British Catholics accompanied the Nuncio to the railway station and in bidding him fare- well they kissed his hand.

There was a great attendance of spectators. Nuraerically the review Was a great SIMON& The heat became great during the marching, and a number of the men were incapacitated. One of the features of the drill,. which was expected to show the troops to greet advantage, was a march through the Buck- ingham Palace gates and reforming in double column. This was se ill-exeduted, however, that many of the men stumbled and fell and caused much awkward con- fusion, The Queen manifested flinch interest in the drill.

Catharine Jumped into the water - to save him, but the boy got a tight grip on her dress and both were drowned together. Little Ratio managed to row the boat to shore near her home. "There Were Great Hen." An opinion was current in the last century that our ancestors, at some time in the past, were the equals or superiors in size to the largest men now to be found. M. Henrion presented to the Academie de Inscriptions, in 1718, a memoir on the variations in the size of man from the beginning of the world to the Christian era,. in which Adam was given 123 feet 0 inches, i . and Eve 118 feet 91 nches. But after the first pair, the human race, in his imagina- tion, suffered a regular decrease, so that Noah was only 100 feet high, while Abra- ham shrank down to twenty-eight feet, Moses to thirteen feet, the mighty Hercules to ten feet eight and a half inches, and Alexander the Great to a bare six feet and a half. The communication, it is said, was, received with enthusiasm, and was regarded, at the time, as a "wonderful discovery" and a "sublime vision." The complaint about the degeneracy of the human race is not new, but dates as far back as the time - of Homer, at least; for the men of his day were not like the heroes of whom he sang. It is not confirmed, but is contradicted by all the tangible facts, and these are not a. few. Human remains that are exhumed, after having reposed in the grave for many centuries, as in the catacombs of Paris, have nothing gigantic Meant them. The armor, the mimeses and the casques of the warriors of the middle ages can be worn by modern soldiers, and many of the knight's suits would be too small for the cuirassiers of the European armies; yet they were worn by the selected men, who were better fed, stronger and more robust than the rest of the population. The bones of the ancient Gauls, which wero uncovered in the excavations of tumuli, while they are of large dimensions, are comparable with those of the existing population in many places in France. The I)gyptistn mummies are the remains of persons of small or medium stature, asare also the Peruvian and Mexican mummies, and. the mummies and bones found in the ancient monuments of India and Persia. And even the most ancient relics we possess of individuals of the human species, the boners of men who lived in the tertiary period, an epoch the remote antiquity of, which goes back for hundreds of centuries, do not show any important differences in the size of the primitive and of the modern inan.—lecens- lar Science Monthly. ' Why Boys Should Not be Snubbed. A most charmingly kind and.charito.ble paper is that little monthly Dumb iinintals. And now after kind words for all sorts of birds, beasts and fishes, it bravely speaks a. kind word for the boys: Don't snub a boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the inventor of the telephone, first entered Boston he wore a pair of yellow linen breechee in the depth of winter. Don't snub a boy because his home is plain and unpretending. Abraham Lincoln's home was a log cabin. Don't snub a boy because of a dulness in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated painter and en- graver, was a tstupid boy at his books. Don't snub a boy because of the ignorance of his parents. Shakspeare, the world's poet, was the son of a man who wag unable to write his own name. Don't snub a boy because he chooses an humble trade. The author of the "Pilgrim's Progress " was a tinker. Don't snub a boy because of phy- sical disability. Milton was blind. Don't snub a boy because he stutters.
