POISOMEO! " (V report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.S."W., of a Fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic a«-i«l, tho presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'ts m welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing j to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become j impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous , for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of pa kct is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'

j The men iii thu cubia heard tins, and | they turned to tli3 door to see tlareo troopers covering them with their car bines. "What m h—l does you uns mean?" asked tlie man Peet, whom 1 have men tioned before. "It means that you fellows are pris oners! Don't move!" The mountaineers were thoroughly frightened, and the bravest offered no resistance while their rifles were being carried out and they were being divest- scl of their ammunition, belts, pistols and knives. In the darkest corner of the cabin J could see Mm McNeil, her fine eyes aglow and her breast heaving with ex citement, i called to her to leave the place and she instantly obeyed. Then 1 told the mountaineers that 1 would sta tion my men about the cabin, and that the first one of them that attempted tc leave till 1 ha<l a talk with them again m the morning must take the conse quences. My men were moved back, and we made a bonfire of the woodpile which we found about fifty feet m front of the cabin door. Into this fire was built the arms, ammunition and belts we had taken from the mountaineers, the object being to destroy the stuff, which was of no use to us, and at the same time to keep up the impression of our presence on the prisoners till daylight. As we were hurrying back to where we left Hugh McNeil the girl stopped me, and drawing me aside asked, "Is you uns gwine to kill dad?" "No," I replied, "but we'll carry him with us. I may release him after the danger is over." "Don't kill Mm, fo' even though I hain't got no heart fo' him, lie's my dad," she said, with a sob, I assured her that I had no such pur pose, but at the same time tried to im press her with the fact that a human life, particularly that of an enemy, waa of no account compared with the suc cess of our enterprise. "If so be," she continued, "you una could kinder tote him off till the wah's ovah, and Lin Moore kin come back to keer fo' me and Hen, ez he'll be mighty glad to do, hit'd be a kindness to we uns. I ken make out all alone by xaysel' ef he's kep' a-kinder premier, with no chance to drink whisky." "All right, Mm," I replied, ana I pressed into her hand what was left of the Confederate money we had brought along. I was about to move off when, to my surprise, she threw her arms about my neck and kissed me. Poor girl, as I felt her hot tears on my face I think I understood and honored the emotion that prompted the act. We had made a break m the crushing loneliness and awful monotony of her life, and we were a living link connecting her with Lin Moore, the gallant fellow .m whom all the hopes of her solitary life center ed. She confirmed this sudden impres sion by whispering: "Tell Lin I don't do nawthing, sleepin noh wakin, but jist a-thinkin of him and a-prayin for the wah to end that he may come back and take me to live up Bridgeport way." I promised to do this, and with a heart full of gratitude for the brave girl we bade her goodby. VWhar m h—lis you uns gwine to tote me?" was Hugh McNeil's salutation when I made him rise and walk down to where the horses were waiting. _ "That depends on how you behave," 1 said. He made no response, but indicated his feelings by muttering strings of oaths and assuring us that we should all be "cotched and hanged" before we got out of the hills. He was forced to mount the spare horse, but that he might be able the better to retain his seat his hands were fastened m front so that he could rest them on the pommel, but the bridal rein was m the hands of a man who rode by his side. That our work was quick can be in ferred from the fact that we were mounted and moving out of the valley before the powder flasks and arms, left m the fire before the cabin, began to ex plode; and then it sounded for some sec onds as if a fight were going on up the hill, and the flaming brands hurled into the sky helped to increase the impres sion. The moon rose about nine o'clock, but as it was cloudy and threatening rain I was forced every ten minutes to strike a light m the dark woods through which we were traveling entirely by compass. Two hours after leaving McNeil's cabin it was decided to halt for the night, that the men and horses might be fresh for the rapid march which it was hoped would take us to our friends on the mor row. Our little band was divided into three reliefs. The horses were picketed and unsaddled and the prisoner was made as comfortable as was consistent with hia safety. , Toward morning it began to rain, and when daylight came a dense mist made it impossible to see a hundred yards ahead. We ate of the corn bread and bacon procured from our prisoner the night before, giving him his share, though by no means as much as he wanted. When we were again ready to move forward McNeil beckoned me to him, for I had forbidden loud talking, and asked: "Do you uns Ijnowwhar this place is?" and he made a sweep about his head with his bound arms. "Very well," I replied. "Whar?" and he stuck out his chin and glared at me as if he were gloating over my ignorance. "We propose to get through all right, Hugh," I said. "But what ef so be you uns should run into a right smart bunch of grays, eh?" "In that event, Hugh, the first shot fired will be m your brain." "Do you uns mean that fo' dead ear nest?" "Wo do." "Well may I be d—d." He shook his shaggy head and a look of actual horror took the place of the fierce glitter m his bluish gray eyes. "Ef so bo I'm gwiuo to be shot ez soon ez you run into the enemy, and you uns look ez ef you uns meant hit, I reckon hit'd be more like [To be continued. 81-SHLQRIDE BF GOLD CURE, DRINK HAD NEARLY DESTROYED IT I SUFFERED from an Insatiable Appe tite for Liquor.

These crude oils, or so called Kucalyptl Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops mosb freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear aaee being reduced m speoifio density through the presence of acids, 3 By theirtaßfce, the result of the contracting tendency of reaioe and tennates. If these crude oils, bo-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are moat appalling.
