J., Aug. 29.? ied A homeless, homely, half-breed Newfoundland dog limped forlornly lil- through Southbound Brook a few ing days ago and lingered under a boatts. house on the Raritan river. Hector, m- as some one called him, was lying on the pier yesterday afternoon looking hopeless, when Miss Bertha Thomp ia3 son put out in her canoe. /il_ When she was 50 feet from the rs_ pier she dropped her paddle, and in trying to recover it, upset the canoe. agt The next instant the dog had plunged on off the pier and was swimming swiftly toward her. As she came up the [,or second time Hector fastened his teeth in her waist and in a few minutes had her safely on shore. Hector is l6 .' no longer a homeless dog. He ? for Blease's Address. me re_ The address of Gov. Blease, which appeared in the papers yesterday is one of the most sacrilegious productions that we have read in many a J6EL nd day. The idea of attributing an election. marked by the grossest frauds, ua, to the blessings of the Lord is carrying it just a little too far, but it * ? -- it -rUI A*. Mo SHOWS Wnat ail evil mail win uu. iw *rn doubt, he sometimes prays and sings ,lie songs of rejoicing, but his prayers in" and songs are blasphemous. ;ag Blease has never manifested in any l0n thing that we have ever seen from him a spirit of reverence. On the contrary his every utterance has been vile and most disgusting. We do not ,nd believe that prayer, thanksgiving >ne and praise ever are coupled with vulgarity, profanity and fraud, iry This address is enough to disgust those who have any respect for [ed righteousness, decency and honesty. ?Greenwood Journal. Two years ago Blease got only about 56,000 votes in the second primarv nnd^heat Featherstone over 5, J UC ? _ et 000 votes. This year Jones gets 67,iis 000 votes, 11,000 more votes than in Blease got two years ago, and yet the i a face of the returns shows that Blease Dte got more votes than Jones and Dunsen can put together.

The arrow poison used by the Indians of Colombia has been found to be the secretion of the skin of a small frog. The arrows are eight inch palm spines, which are shot from a blow gun about 14 feet long, and the hunter carries the frog along in a hollow bamboo in order that he may have the poison in a fresh condition. A simple prick of the skin yields the poison drop -when needed. When one of the arrows enters the body of even a large animal?such as a jaguar, monkey or deer?paralysis quickly follows and the victim is then easily killed. The use of the poison, it is said, does not affect the flesh of the animals killed, which is quite harmless when eaten. Two French naturalists have made experiments with the edible frog, Rana esculenta, showing that its skin exudes a similar poison when irritated, and that an extract prepared from the skin gives in guinea pigs the same symptoms as inoculation with the arrow poison.?Chicago Tribune.
