fHantiln Leaves for Snake Poison.
A Marlborough (N.Y.) letter to the
New York Times says .• Charles M.
Purdy is one of the leading commis
sion merchants in New York who
handle the fruit products of the Hud
son Valley. Mr. Purdy's residence is
near Marlborough. About 80 years
ago Mr. Purdy'a mother,then a young
woman, while rambling along the
bank of the Hudson here, on what is
now the Thomas T, Buckley estate,
was bitten by a rattlesnake on the leg.
The poison caused great pain and the
limb was discolored very much, and
the old settlers said that the only
thing to do was to mount a fast horse
and to ride to the Marlborough moun
tain and coax an old Indian woman,
who lived there then in a cave all a
lone,to come and cure her. This was
done, and the life of Mrs. Purdy was
saved through the medicine furnished
by this old squaw. It is a simple
remedy—a small cupful of the juice of
the plantain weed, which is to be
found along every road and in nearly
every door yard in the country.
Mrs. Purdy gave these facts to the
Times' correspondent for publication
expressing the hope that inasmuch as
the plaintain juice undoubtedly saved
the life of Mr. Purdy's mother the
* same service might be available to
others if publicity was given to the
fhcta.
Inquiry made among farmers and
country people gent rally elicited thd
information that plantain weed is us
ed extensively for poulticing, to heal
up running sores and to break up cas
es of chills and fever. Dr. A. H. Pal
mer, of this town, says that a handful
of plantain leaves made into a cup of
tea breaks up sever?; attacks of certain
malarial (disorders when other speci
fics fail Old inhabitants say plantain
leaves years ago were considered a
sure cure for hydrophobia. Wood chop
pers on the Plattekill, Marlborough,
and Shawangunk mountains say that
they have long known that plantain
juice would prevent fatal results from
the bite of a rattlesnake. Toads and
other animals know the menical prop
erties of the plantain weed. When
bitten by a snake they invariably hop
to where the specific can be found.
Smuggler's Tricks.
The curious tricks to which people
reeort who deal in contraband goods,
show a seal and ingenuity worthy of
a better cause. One dealer in costly
lace used to run in a valuable lot
through tho gates of Paris, under the
Jtexy ieet and eyes of the officials, on
the back of a little dog, who had a
notber coat neatly fitted all over his
back, Which he wore with as much
grace as his own hairy jacket. The
lice was wound smoothly and evenly
about his body, and he could carry
thousands of dollars' worth in this
way, and nobody be the wiser. He
was a sharp little fellow, and when
baffled at one gate, would run off to a
nother, slipping in under the very
hoofs of the horses as a carriage rolled
along. The trick was at last suspect
ad, and the wary dog, rather than
suffer himself to be caught, took to
the water, and was shot. He had a
costly winding sheet of lace about
him, when he came to be examined.
Such a faithful dog onght to have had
a better master.
There is a museum of these confis
cated articles at Paris, which is now
and then visited by the curiosity hunt
er, where is a pile of coals, with a
spool of sewing thread in each chunk ;
boots with French watches hid in the
heels j a coffin which is filled with ci
gfasf a huge stuffed boaconstricto r, a
rent in whose sides disclosed a prec
ious assignment of valuable laces ; a
huge African hangs by his neck in a
very ghastly fashion, but a stroke of
the cane shows him to be only a
f sounding tin. He used to figure on the
fodtboard of a carriage, as an attend
ant, and drove in and out many times
through the gates of Paris. But one
time, in a jam, when everybody was
P scolding and swearing and trying to
get on, an officer present harangued
fthe crowd of drivers and told them to
take an example of equanimity from
this black, who looked on so serenly
amidst the tumult. Slapping the
good fellow approvingly on the shoul
der,he was surprised to hear him give
a very metallic rattle. He was taken
to the inspection room, and found to
be filled with excellent brandy, which
Was drawn of at the toe. They soon
sampled an 'armful' of the fluid, and
the fistir Bfkck 'B day *of service was
over.
A somewhat similar game was
played on English custom house offi
cers, who inspected a consignment to
Dr. SwfM-u, which proved to be four
African leads preserved in brandy,
and also some other pickled 'remains'
all in 'excellent preservation.' They
'passed,' and the owners poured off
the brandy from their porcelain heads
and the tone, and drank to the health
of the sharp officials in the excellent

Fashion-Hints from Peterson's Mag
azine for October.
Black, in all materials, continues to
be much worn, even for full-dress.—
Peterson's Magazine.
Theie is no special change in styles of
making dresses : pointed waists, short
on the hips, jackets with waistcoat
fronts, short round jackets, aud round
waists with belts, are all fashionable.—
Peterson's Magazine.
Tunics are worn both long and short,
though the latter are perhaps the more
fashionable.— Peterson's Magazine.
Sleeves are still slightly gathered into
the arm-holes; but they do not stand up
quite as high as they did.— Peterson's
Magazine.
Woolen will be principally used for
walking and out-door dresses, this fall.:
silk and velvet being reserved for more
ceremonious occasions.— Pc ter so n's
Magazine.
Hats are generally worn high in the
crown and with narrow brims : we re
cord this as the fashion, but we think
it unbecoming.— Peterson's Magazine.
Bonnets have a decided tendency to
a peak in front, and this peak is high
enough to admit of a flower or a bow of
ribbon beneath it: the long poke-bonnet
is now used principally for morning
wear.—Pctersou's Mayaxtne.
Corsages, of black, sapphire, or ruby
velvet,or of Sicilienne in the same hues,
are now worn with skirts of cream
white, and considered very stylish.—
Paris letter in Peterson's Magazine.
Velvet is extensively used for trim
ming, this fall: this is to say, yelvet by
the yard,cut biar,and employed in very
wide bands. — Paris letter in Peterson's
Magazine.
