Under the head of corrosives, corrosive subli- mate stands foremost in importance, being the Most typical of this class. The effects are rapid in their development, being well marked by a burning sensation felt In the mouth and throat, followed by agonizing pain in the stomach. ‘The tongue and throat have a white appear ance, and excessive tenderness and swelling of the ‘abdomen i noticeable. All authorities agree in recommending albumen in the form of Faw eggs—both yelkand wihite—switched up ‘with a little water, as the best antidote in cases Of acute poisoning from corrosive sublimate. ‘The albumen combines with the corrosive sub- Hmate to form an insoluble and comparatively inert compound. Should eggs not be imme diately obtainable, giuten obtained from flour, or wheat flour alone mixed with milk or water, May be given until the more reliable antidote isready. The chief of the corrosive poisons are the mineral acids, sulphuric, niirie and hydro- ehloric; the vegetable acids, 'oxaile, binoxalate potash, (commonly called salt of lemon and salt Ofsorrel,) and occasionally in large tartaric acid; the alkalies, potash, s and ammonia, with certain of their salts, such 6 pearl ash, (commonly called salt of tirtar,) carbonate of soda, (commonly called washing Soda,) and carbonate of ammonia; also various Metallic compoutds, including salts of zinc, Un. sliver and antimony, ce.

The Princess Barnabas was in a state of the most profound perplexity. She could not, for the dainty little life of her, make up her mind on the important question as to whether she should or should not commit suicide at the close of the season. It was not very easy for | the Princess’ many admirers to understand why she should perturb her mind with such a Problem at all, but perturb It she did with that very problem, whether wisely or unwisely. The Princess Barnabas was a very remarka- ble young woman, who had proved the puzzle, the pride, and the passion of London society for three whole sensational seasons. She was not yet four-and-twenty. She bore the title of @ great Russian prince who had married ber just before she came of age, at a time when he himself was old enough to be her grandfather, and who had considerately died within two years of the ceremony, leaving her the absolute mistress of his fortune and his territories, as | she had been during life the absolute mistress of bis heart for the short time in which he swayed it. She was said to be fabuiously Wealthy. Her Jewels were the wonder of the world, and she delightea in wearing them, in season and out of season, with a semi-barbaric enjoyment of their glitter and splendor which was, like every thing else about her, parily Orien- and partly childish, Some time’atter her hus- band’s death she had come to Paris and got tired of it, and then she crossed the Channel and conauered London. “During one resplend- ent session little else was talked about but the Princess Barnabas, Society journals raved about her delicate beauty, which seemed to be- long to the canvases of the last century, which ought to have been immortalized on pate tendre, and hymned in madrigais, Men agored her, Women envied her marvelous ss and her matchless jewels. The aying ashes of a Season's scandal flared up into marvel- s activity around her pretty perso She | was enormously “the thing. Enormously “the thing” she remained during a second season, after an interval of absolute pearance into the dominions of the Czar. ormously “the thing” she still appeared to be now in her third season, in spite of the rival attractions of an American actress who had not married an English duke, and an American irl with millions who had married the bluest Blood and the oldest name in Europe. It would have been absurd for any one to contest the point that the Princess Barnabas was the very Most interesting figure of that phantasmal dance of shadows whieh is called London so- clety. Nevertheless the Princess Barnabas was weary, positively bored. Ifshe had been less of asuccess, life might not have appeared so deso- There would have been a piquancy in the possibility of rivalry which would have lent a new interest to the tasteless feast. As it however, London life at the height of Its idest_ activity appeared to her as drear and zriy as those Vast stretches of steepes which fay liike a great sea around one of the Russian Barnabas. It was ion when the Princess castles of the late Prin during this fit of depre Barnabas was gr: e the ‘author of “Ecclesiastes,” that life was vanity, that it occurred to her that in all her strange experiences she had never yet com- mitted suicide. She immediately gave up her mind to the important problem, whether she should gain this ultimate human experience at once, or postpone it indefinitely. It was in this frame of mind that the Prin- cess went to the great ball at the Russian Em- bassy. As she nestled among her furs in the dim, luxurious warmth of her carriage, her mind was running entirely upon the various forms of self-destruction which had been made famous by celebrated persons at different stages of the world’s history, and she could find none that were safficiently attractive or re- markabie to please her. “Good heavens!” she thought to herself, with a little shudder which even the warmth of her surroundings could not press, “is it impossible to be banale even in 2” and she gave a little groan as sh stepped ont of her carriage and up the embass steps. The thought was still on her mind, and tracing the least suggestion of a frown upon her exquisite girlish face as she entered the { room and took the hand of the ambassa- The thrill of interest, of excitement, of admiration, which asa matter of course attended upon her entrance did not give her any answer- ing thrill of gratification. She appeared to listen with the most gracious attention to the npliments of the ambassador, She answered with the daintlest little air of infantile obel- sance the Old World courtesy of a white-haired Minister who have been as much at home as she herself in a_salon of the Regent of Orleans, She condescended to entangle in a network fascination a particularly obdurate and im- issive Secretary 0’ ate. She patronized a prince of the blood royal and was exceedingly frank and friendly with the young painter Lepell, who knew exactly how much her familiarity meant, but was atonce amused and delighted by the envy it aroused in others. Yet all the while the Princess Barnabas was not de- voting asingle serious thought to one of her | admirers. Every idea in that vain and foolish head was cei red upon the one query, “Shall Tcommi ide next week, and it so, how?” It was while in this frame of mind, talking to twenty people, and thinking of none of them, that her bright eyes, wandering lightly over thé crowded room, ehaniced to fall upon’ a youn man who was standing, somewhat remove from the press of the throng, in a window re- cess, which was at least comparatively quiet—a tall, grave, self-possessed young man, suff ciently good-looking to be called handsome by an enthusiastic friend. When the Princess Barnabas looked at him, his eyes, which were bright, clever eyes, were fixed on her with a look of half-humorous contemplation, The mo- ment, however, their eyes met he turned his head Slightly, and resumed a conversation with a gray-haired old man with a red ribbon at his buttonhole, whom she knew to be a foreign diplomatist. The young man’s gaze had ex- pressed an interest in the Princess, but it seemed to be just as interested in the pale, wrinkled face of his companion, The Princess Barnabas seemed piqued. “Who fs that young ?” she asked, half-fretfully,of the Secretary of State, Which young man?” The Secretary of State's stolid face’ gazed vaguely into the dense crowd of dress coats and white shoulders, of ordersand stars and diamonds. in the window talking to the Th Th e Secretary put up his eye-glass and con- sidered the young man in question thought- fully. He was never known to hurry in his judzments or his replies in Parliament, and he id not hurry now, though it was the Princess Barnabas who was ‘interrogating him, and not a member of the Opposition. Then he answered her, weighing his words with more than Judi- clal deliberation: “He is a young fellow named Sinclair. He is going out to the East, or some- thing. Why do you ask?” “His face interests me,” replied the Princess. “I should like to know him. Bring him to me; or atay, giveme yourarm, we will go to ina.” She rose and dispersed her little knot of dis- consolaie courtiers. Taking the Secretary's arm. she moved slowly toward the window where Sinclair was still standing. The Secretary touched him on the arm. “Mr. Sinclair, the Princess Barnabas has fe el @ desire to make your acquaintance. Allow me, Princess, to introduce you to Mr. Julian Sinclair.” The young man bowed. He seemed a little surprised,but not in the least embarrassed. The Princess ‘smiled brightly at him, and her eyes were brighter than her smile. “Thank you,” she said to the Secretary of State with a pleas- ant little smile, which was meant to convey, and which did'convey, that she hed -ha enough of him. He promptly disappeared into the crowd with resigned good humor, bearin; away with him in his wake the elderly red- ribboned diplomatist, Princess Barnabas and Julian Sinclair were left alone. She sat down on the couch in the recess of the window, and slightly motioned to him with her hand to take his place by her side, He obeyed silently. The recess of the window Was deep. For the moment they were almost en- Urely fsolated from the shifting, glittering throng that seethed and drifted around them. Sinclair kept quite silent, looking into the face of the Princess with an air of halfamused in- quiry. There were a few seconds of silence, and then the woman spoke, beginning, e, with a question. “ Have you forgotten me, Mr. Sinclair?” ‘The young man shook his head gravely. “No, Ihave not forgotten you, Princess.” Her eyes were fixed on his face, but he returned her gaze quite steadily, “Yet it must be two years since we met,” she replied; “and two years is a long time.” “Yes, two years is a very long time,” he said, halt sadly, half seornfully, He was decidedly not Geet pergbhe this young man, for even the pleasure of meeting a friend, unseen for two years, did not appear to arouse in him any desire for conversation. There was another little pause, Neither seemed embarrassed, and yet the interval was Jong enough to be embarrassing. Then she PW hgdid'you leave St. Peterburg?

He bowed his head. “I promise,” he said, “And now give me your arm and take me to my carriage,” said the Princess Barnabas. “I want to go home to bed.” . = 2 * * * The next day Julian heard nothing trom the Princess. “Of course not,” he said to himself, a ing his shoulders at the fantastic hopes which had besieged his brain since that strange meeting, and he doggedly taced his approach- ing exile. But on the afternoon of the second day after the meeting at the Embassy, Julian Sinclair, coming to his hotel after aday spent in busy preparations for departure, found a tiny note awaiting him. It was from the Princess, and had only these words: ‘Come this evening, Ishall be alone,” And he went.

We fol- lowed the shore on the southern side of the bay as far as Dalkey Island, which borders it in that direction, Abouta mile in the offing were visible the lights of a large steamer, the first of the line. We knew that the next one lay two miles beyond her, but from that dis- ¢ we could not make out her lights, Ar- rived at a point altnost directly above the v sel, I halied my little party and explained my. plus, which were exceedingly simple. One of he men, bearing a 10-pound bomb, was to de- send cautiously until ue was near enough to drop his byrden into the funnel, after which he was torise upward again as fast as possible. The rest were to remain in readiness to repeat the maneuver if itshould fail the first time. The mun selected at once began the descent, and for a few mom we strained our e through the gloom, vainly trying to follow his movements. Presently a slicht rattle was heard; there was a bright flash: und a stunnin, report. The bom» had missed the funnel an exploded on the deck. For a few seconds there Was dead silence, then a confusion of many voices; then a shot was heard, a rocket whizzed Up past us and burst into a thousand points of dazzling brightness, which lighted up with noonday clearness an area of more than a mile, In the unearthly glare we could plainly see our comrade hastening upward to rejoin us. Before the intense brightness had gone out there was a Second report, another rocket came hurtling and screaming right among us, and_ burst into great blazing stars above. ‘The effect was in- describably magnificent, but sadly disconcert- ing to our plans. We were confused and daz- zied,and must have been plainly visible to those on board. “scatter, men, scatter!” I shouted ag @ third rocket came almost inthe track of the second. It was plainly impossible to re- main where we were; but in spite of the flam- ing, sulphurous masses that were falling like a rain of fire around me. I balanced myself for @ moment while I found with my plumb line a point exactly over the ship. ‘Then I loosed my 10-pound shell from its sling and Groped it, Lheard the crash of its fall upon the deck, and a deep muffied explosion, which told it had broken through and burst "below.

The rattle of @ drum beating to quarters came across the water, and it was clear that she at least would not be caught napping. But while within a wide circle all was’ bright as day the vessel herself lay be- | Rony the darkness, now denser than ever m the contrast. ‘Her lights had all been ex- tinguished, and the only clues to her position were the frequent flashes of her mortar and the dull reports as shell aftershell was sent up. This was the very thing we wanted. The darkness in which she was shrouded was necessary to our success, while the intensity of vigilance with which her crew scanned the surface of the Taker Prevented any eve being, turned toward the sky. With a low whistle [brought all my men around me, and, in a few words, directed one who carried’ a large shell to descend low over the vessel, and make quite sure that {t dropped into the funnel. He was then to shoot away to the dark side as quickly as possible. The rest of us ascended to a greater height, keeping as directly over the doomed ship as we could In the darkness. For a few minutes, which seemed an age, we waited, looking down. No grander or more striking spectacle could be imagined than met our gaze; the quick flashes of the mortar, the Intense blaze of the bursting shells, the quivering light reflected from the illuminated circle ofsea,and in the distance the rockets which the other vessels continued to throw up. ‘The third ship was now burning lights too, and so brightly was the surface of the water displayed that even so small an object as the head of a swimmer must have been seen. But we had not long time to admire this brilliant display, We could not follow our comrade’s movements in the darkness which fortunately enshrouded him; but afler some minutes of suspense a deep, thunderous sound was heard, followed, aftera few awful moments, loud, confused shouting. The firing ceased! the light of the last shell went out like a dying lamp; and through the darkness a horrible, rushing, gurgling sound came up toour ears. “That’s’ the last of her,” said one of the men, in awe-struck tones; “I guess that shell has blown @ hole inher bottom.
