OF May deserves more credit than Capt. Duncan
Gen. Taylor considered the battle of the 9Th as
won, mainly through tue energy and skill with
which he worked his battery; and in the Generals
words, " he knows not only what to do, and when

The r,s,-re0fuDe Rusc.

Some time ago there came a mice young
man. into these parts, apparently in search Of a
wife. He certainly hit upon the right place to go
a wiving-inasmuch as we have on hand at pre-
sent any quantity of the beautiful material. This
Coelebs, we believe, hailed from Gotham; and
what with good dress and address, a light foot in
the dance, and liberal show of tin, !" he was in
the fair way of having himself " doubled" He
had got considerably smtten by very pretty
girl from the city of Quakers, and it was generally
supposed that there was a slight contra-hang on
the part of the maiden. His manner of court
ship was somewhat peculiar, smacking strongly
of the romantic and mysterious He had in his
possession the daguerreotype likeness of very
beautiful young lady, with which he was accus
toned at times to work upon the jealous feelings
of his present ladye love, by hints and ether mys-
terous nuendoes, leading to the belief that the da-
guerreotyped beauty had been former sweet
heart, who had been by him rather cavalierly and
mercessly treated.
1t so happened, that one evening our young
gentleman was exhibiting the picture of his old
flame" to little circle of ladies, and endeavoring
by his praises OF her beauty, to torture the bosom
of his new sweetheart with jealousy. The mi
mature at length reached the hands of young
lady who had just arrived, and who was quite
stranger to our hero. Upon looking at the por-
trait the lady started if she had been stuck with
pin; 49,. ..,;. ;.
"Mine, madam-pray what do you mean ~
stammered forth our hero, who seemed not a lit
tie alarmed at something.
"What do mean why that this is my like
ness!"
cit cannot be, madam, it is the port"
at is my portrait, sr-do not know my own
dress-my diamonds and here, sir, is the very
necklace which wore when it was taken"
The mass of testimony thus offered, together
with the presence of the original, was proof
without a loop or hinge to hang doubt on, "
the young gentleman became quite confused, and
the lady continued waxing wrath, and looking
daggers from her large dark eyes.
"How came you by this, sir am sure have
not lost it,
eft did not come from you, madam - was the
somewhat logged reply.
"Ha see. then !" and the beautiful crea-
ture's eyes beamed with pleasures "the artist
has taken a duphcate-the sly fellow. Well sir, -
she continued, after a moments reflection, "you
may keep this picture, but don't tell that you have
broken the heart of the original %
The young man fumbled the picture into his
pocket, made some stammering excuse, and left
the room. He hasn't been seen in these parts
since. ECoLIER.

SIR have recently noticed accounts of dogs
in rabid state being at large i'll the Streets
that they have bitten various persons, as well as
other dogs, that would of course multiply the
mischief; and have heard of one or two iamen
table instances Of hydrophobia in consequence.
If the proper remedy be applied within mode
rate time after the accident, there is no reason to
dread any such result.
During nv residence in the Brazils in 1914 and
subsequently, frequently witnessed the distress
sing and fatal effects arising from the bite of rat
tlesnakes, scorpions, and other venemous rep
tiles, that abound in tropical regions. 1t often
occurred to me, that an application which would
decompose chemically the virus thus insnuated,
would Immediately alter and destroy its deleteri-
BUSINESS.
With this view,I used aqua ammonia to the bite
Of scorpion, in the irst instance, and found 1t
removed pain and inflammation almost instant
ly! then extended it to the bite of the rattle
snake, with the same success Being now GER
tain of its efficacy, recommended it to several
a slave in this way, although death had always
been the inevitable result before.
Reasoning from analogy, ultimately came to
tho conclusion, that the venom of such animals,
and the virus of others in state OF rabidness,
were probably very similar, from their symptoms
and results, so that about 1915, wrote an article
on the subject, which, to the best of my recollec-
ton, forwarded to the Philosophical Transac-
tons. In this, suggested that aqua ammonia
would be likely to produce the same chemical
change in the virus in cases Of hydrophobia, and
if so, it would prove an effective remedy against
that evil.
On my return to England in 1926, an old friend
and physician, informed me that he had, in con-
sequence, frequently so used it, and always with
success. The incisions should be constantly bathed
with it; and three four doses, diluted, taken in
wardly, during the day. The knife and lunar
causte are never needful, and, at the very best,
are but doubtful remedy, as neither can reach
the interior absorbents nor the general circulation
l have heard several physicians very unrhilo-
sophically declare, that aqua ammonia, applied
to wounds, will create inflammation. This OBJ
