Overdose of Strychnine.
Specirl to The State.
Charleston, April 28 -Dr. Arthur
M. Cohen, the druggist at 610 King,
street, was last evening placed under a
?1,000 bond by Coroner Rivers for his
appearance at the June term of the
court of sessions to answer the charge
of carelessly compounding a prescrip?
tion by mixing an excessive amount of
strychnine, which is alleged to have
caused the death of Annie Hertzog, a
seven-year-old negro child, who died
last Friday morning -
The evidence in the case, as adduced
at the inquest, is to the effect that Pr.
MacMurpby prescribed for the Hertzog
girl last Friday. The girls's mother
sent the prise, iptioo to Cohen, who did
not have the ooe-6ftii of a grain of
strychnine necessary. Cohen sent to a
neighboring drug store for it, and the
druggist could not, or says he could
not read the order. He sent Cohen a
nickel's worth of the poison (three
grains) that being the amouut of the
money that the negro messenger
brought. When the messenger return?
ed, Cohen put the three grains in the
mortar without weighing it, taking it
for granted the druggist bad sent, ooly
one-fifth of a grain A little later the
mistake was discovered, but when
Cohen sent to the woman's boute,
which he did at once, the girl was
in convulsions. She died the same
oight.
Coroner Rivers ordered Dr. H. C.
Kellers to hold a post mortem examina?
tion upon the body. He held the
autopsy last Friday, and as a result,
the jury of which Mr. Louis Elias was
foreman, returned a verdict that thc
child died by strychnine poisoning
through the carelessness of Dr. Cohen.
The bord required of Dr. Cohen was
promptly given.
Dr. Cohen has been a druggist for 40
years, and has been in one locality for
29 years. He claims that in his order
to DrFischer for the strychnine, that he
plainly wrote for 1-5 of a grain. Dr
Fischer says that the order was in ink
and the amount was blurred and
illegible.

Jeff Davis's Humanity.
Ex-Senator Reagan, of Texas, the
-only surviving member of the Con?
federate Cabinet, is now 80 years
old. He delivered a lecture in San
Antonio, Texas, a few nights ago for
a charitable object, and took as his
theme personal recollections of the
closing scenes of the Confederacy
about Richmond. As Postmaster
General of the Confederate States he
was in touch with President Jeffer?
son Davis at all times, and his recol?
lections of the .incidents of that time
possess historic value. Relating the
narrow escape Richmond had from
capture two or three times, he men- j
doned the fact that President Davis
saved the lives of hundreds of Fed?
eral prisoners by his firmness and un
willingness to see unarmed men shot
down. There were some 2-,0001
Federal prisoners in the hands of the
Confederates at Belle Island and be- !
cause of Dahlgreen's raid with its i
violations of the laws of war retalia- ?
tion was proposed, but President j
Davis would not permit it. Mr ;
Reagan says :
When the above facts (of Dahl- ;
green's raid) came to the knowiege ;
of the Confederate Government every
member of Mr. Davis's Cabinet!
united in calling upon him to have j
the prisoners draw lots,, and ever}' ?
tenth man shot, and that he then ?
notify President Lincoln what had j
been done and why it was done j
Mr. Davis suggested that if we had j
known of the orders under which j
these men had been acting it would j
have been right to shoot them down '
while they had guns in their hands, '?
but he did n<~t think we should have
unarmed prisoners shot. The mern
bera of the Cabinet called attention \
to the previous violation of the laws |
of war by the Federals, and to Presi j
dent Davis's threat of retaliation, j
After the matter had been earnestly
discussed Mr. Davis ended the dis
cussion by declaring in opposition to j
the united views of the Cabinet that ?
he would not have unarmed prison- ;
ers shot. We did not then agree :
with him, but since the passions of:
war have died away we shall all pet- j
haps say ho did right.-Augusta;
Chronicle.
The Pension List.
The pension list is going to be swell - i
ed beyond ail expectations if the num- ;
ber of applicants is any index to the <
increase of new pensioners.
Comptroller General Norton stated
yesterday that 7.000 applications had
been made, but under the law a large
number of these would be disqualified.
He thought many would be thrown
out on one of the provisions, which is
that any veteran owning land or aoy
other property which yields an income
amounting to $100 a year cannot re?
ceive a pension.-The State.

A young woman from out of town
went to tea among the literarv set last
week, says the Washington Post She
was introduced to a whole roomful of
people, and afterward she went about
trying to cail everybody by bis ri^ot
name She remembered an amazing
number of names, but when she came
to one distinguished-looking man, she
paused in despair. "I kuow every?
body else's Dame," she said, "but
j wheo I try to remember your's I am
? completely at sea." "Theo yoo're not
j jar wrong,'7 said the distinguished
looking mao; '*my name is Atwater
One reason men'overestimate them?
selves and underestimate their neigh?
bors is that they give themselves credit
for all their good desires and purposes.
They know of the good they wish were
done, and they take to themselves cred?
it for wishing it. But they cannot see
the desires aud purposes of their neigh?
bors; but only their deeds, and hence
this credit fails. Judging themselves
by their desires and others by their
deeds, men think of themselves more
bighlv and of their neighbors h'Ss high
ly-than they ought to think.
Cotton seed and cotton seed meal
are among the richest stock food* of
the South, and the Alabama station |
has been experimenting to rind why I
these foods kill hogs, and to find |
some combination of which the}7 ;
form the chief ingredient, that may j
be safely fed to hogs. Bulletin 68 j
gives details. The seed were fed !
raw, boiled and roasted, in combina- j
tion with corn, bran, peas, shorts,
sorghum, etc , as was the meal. . No
ration used was either safe or profita?
ble No hogs died, but several be?
came sick and were turned out to
pasture and recovered. The Texas
station, after experimenting two
years, gave this problem up. The
Kansas station bad the eame experi?
ence From all these experiments
the Alabama professor concludes that
cotton seed and cotton seed meal
prove fatal to hogs if fed for six
weeks ; that there is no known rea?
son for this ; but that after a pig
reaches fifty pounds in weight it may
safely be fed fresh, sweet cotton
seed or cotton seed meal in combina- j
tion with other food for a short time, j
and they will make very rapid gain uo ?
such a ration.
