pointed Minister to Washington, has arrived
there, and will probably be presented to-day to
the President and his Cabinet, on or before the
reception of the people at the White House.
Now for it. Heretofore the Mexicans have beat

with great solicitude and anxiety for the begin
ming, the progress, and conclusion of the negO-
tiations upon Mexican affairs between AlmontG
and Gov. Marcy. We recommend our Premier
to don the old continental costume of Ben
franklin-a broad shad-bellied coat, very long
waistcoat, short tight breeches neatly patched,
and those blue yarn stOckings-and set too
with the cool, discriminating good sense and
sagacI!y of the old Doctor, and then We shall

our enemies. open and disguised, domestic and
foreign, in Mexico, without a resort to arms.
Gen. AlmOnte left Washington in 1916, because
his functions as diplomat were cut short by
casus beii. We have now a similar occasion
for just such another disturbance. But We rely
upon our Premier to bring us out of it by good
writing instead of hard fighting. The web Of
our Mexican affairs is complex and difficult Of
dscntanglement without breaking the thread
of peace; but perhaps our Premier can do it.
Perhaps not. We must wait, and Wall Street
must he patient. The arrival of Gen. Almonte
Is something. For the rest we can only urge
upon our Premier the diplomacy Of Franklin,
as well as his old clothes. Keep cool-.N: y.

In May last two men were bitten by rabid
dog in Cincinnati, which in the case of one,
Thomas Shcrcr, resulted in hydrophoba Of
which he died, in the Cincinnati Hospital, some
three weeks since, in the most horrible agony.
The other person, named John Knapp, was bit-
ten in the right cheek. His wound healed, and
nothing more was thought of it until few
days since, when the disease began to devel-
Opc itself At times he appeared irrational;
fretiul, and complained of his check paining
him. On Thursday, while on his way to the
Hospital with his mother, the wretchcd matt
broke loose from her, and plunged into the
lock of the canal, and after much struggling,
succeeded in drowning himself For several
days previous to the suicide he had refused to
drink any water, and manifested much dread

DR.. Charbonnol, Roman Catholic bishop Of
Toronto, has addressed circulars to the clergy
of his diocese, warning all Catholics who shall
create disturbance like the riot at Montreal,
that they shall be deprived of receiving the
communion for time, in proportion to their
offence, and if they die in disObcdicnce of the
ordinance, shall be deprived of ecclesiastical
burial.
The Ohio Organ has the following account
of the origin of Ann Aabor, in a letter from
that aourishing Michigan city:
Thirty years ago, two travellers, with their
wives and children stopped at the spot where
Ann ArbOr now stands, and concluded to re-
main there for the night. The weather was hot
and sultry; and threatened rain-suddcn and
severe. Not house was visible, and in this
the two men were compelled TO do
to protect their families from the
peltings of the >pitiless storm. Accordingly
they erected frail structure with the limbs of
trees, over the tops of which they spread few
pieces of white canvass, thus making hand
some little arbOr. And as their good wives
were both called Ann their husbands appro-
priatcly named their little retreat Ann ArbOr.
Thirty years have since rolled by, and the city
of Ann Arbor now marks the spot where the
weary travellers sought safety and repose.''
