HFDRDpHORlA,

We find the following among the miscellane-
Gus selections Of the Charleston Is. c. Mercury.
If it is an authentic statement, and Mr.. Buisson
is a person worthy of credencc, the information
which it discloses is of grave importance, not
only to the medical iacllty, but to the whole
human family. That the Academy of Sciences
should have treated it with disregard SO long,
is, perhaps, attributable to its having been
ANONYMOUSLY communicated
Mr.. Buisson has written to the Paris Acade-
my so far back as 1895, and signed with single
initial The case referred to in that treatise
was his own. The particulars and the mode of
cure adopted, were as follows lie had been
called to visit woman who, for three days, was
said to be suffering under this disease. She had
the usual symptoms, construction Of the throat,
inability to swallow, abundant secretion Of sali-
va, and foaming at the mouth Her neighbors
said she had been bitten by mad dog about
forty days before. AT her own urgent entreat-
les, she was bled, and died few hours after, rs
was expected.
Mr. Buisson, who had Lis hands covered COM
pletely with blood, incautiously cleansed them
with towel which had been used to wipe the
mouth of the afflicted patient. lie then
had an liberation upon one of his fingers, yet
thought it sufficient to wipe off the saliva that
adhered, with little water. The ninth day
after, being in his cabiolet, he wss suddenly
seized with pain in his throat, and one still
greater in his eyes. The saliva was continually
pouring into his mouth the impression of a
current of air, the sight Of brilliant bodies,
gave him painful sensation his body appear
ed to him so light that he felt as though he
could leap to prodigious height. He expert
enccd, he said, wish to run and bite, not men,
but animals and inanimatc bodies g.
Finally, he drank with difficulty, and the
sight of water was still more distressing to him
than the pain in the throat. These symptoms
recurred every five minutes, and it appeared to
him as though the pain commenced in the afec-
ted finger, and extended thence to the shoulder.
! From the whole Of these symptoms, he judged
himself afflicted with hyropbobla, and resolved
to terminate his life by sitting himself in va
por bath. Having entered one for that purpose
he caused the heat to be raised one hundred and
seventy degrees thirty-six minutes Fahrenheit,
when he was equally surprised and delighted to
find himself free from all complaint. He left
the bathing room WE'LL dined heartily, and drank
more than usual. Since that time, he says, he
has treated in the same manner more than eigh-
ty persons bitten, in four of whom the symp-
, toms had declared themselves; and in no case
has he failad, except in that Of child, seven
years old, who died in the bath. The mode OF
) treatment recommended by him is, that the per-

WITH AN OURANG oUTANG.

We copy below passage from paper read
before the American Geographical Society by
Capt Gibson, lately returned from the East
Indies, and bringing with him some new facts
as to the tribes of Ourang Outangs inhabting
the deserts of that part of the world He
says
" My statement of the extraordinary peculi-
aritles Of these apparently semi-human beings
has led to the expression of so much curiosity
to know more of them by some, and Of skepti-
cism as to the fact of their existence on the part
oil others, that have deemed it due to myself
and to the public curiosity to give some addi-
tionai facts along with all the corroborative cv-
idenco that has fallen under my observation
" While at Nintock, Palambang and Batavia,
heard many remarkable stories of the agility,
audacity, and especially of the superhunan
strength Of the ourang- -outang., will trespass
upon your attention by relating one of the most
extraordinary, at the same time one of the best
attested which heard while at Batavia Iient
SHOCK, OF the Dutch East India Army, was on
march with small detachment of troops and
coolies on the southeastern coast of Borneo. be
had encamped, on the occasion, during the noon
day heat, on the banks Of one Of the small trib.
utaries OF the Bangarmassin. The Lieutenant
had with him his domestic establishment, which
included his daughter--a playful and interesting
little girl Of the age Of thirteen.
"One day while wandering in the jungle, be.
yond the prescribed limits Of the camp, an GU.

fdhg-outang sprang upon her and carried her
her of. Her piercing screams rang through the
forest to the ears of her dozen protectors, and
reused every man in the camp. The swift, bare
looted coolies were foremost in pursuit; and
now the cry rings in the agonizcd fathers car
that his daughter is devoured by binatang-
aealn, that an ourang outang had carried her
off,
:" He rushes, half phrenzied, with the whole
company to the thicket from whence the screams
proceeded, and there among the topmost limbs
of an enormous hanyan, the father beholds his
daughter, bleeding and struggling in the grasp
of Il powerful oarang outang, who held her
tightly, yet easily, with one arm, while he
sprang lightly from limb to limb, as if wholly
shooting the monster, so agile was he. The
Dyak coolies, knowing the habits Of the ourang,
oatang. and knowing that he wIlalways plunge
into the nearest stream when hard pressed, be-
gan a system of operations to drive him to the
water; they set upa great shout, throwing mis-
siles Of all kinds and agitating the underbrush,
while some proceeded to climb the tree. BY the
redoublcd cxortions of the whole company the
monster was gradually driven toward the water,
yet still holding tightly to the poor girl
" At last, the monster and his victim were
seen on an outstretched limb oyerhanging the
stream the coolies, who are among the most
expert swimmers in the world, Immediately lined
the banks; the soldiers continued the outcries
and throwing of missiles. lie casped his prize
more tightly, took survey of the water and of
his upward gazing enemies, and then leapcd into
the food below. lie had hardly touched the
water before several resolute swimmers plunged
in in pursuit. as he rises dozen arms are
reached out towards him ; he is grasped Others
lay hold upon the inscnsible girl the ourang-
outang used both arms to defend himself, and
after acerating the bodies of some of the cool
les with his powerful nervous claws, he finally
succeeded in diving beyond the reach of his
pursucrs and in escaping down the stream,
while the bleeding inscnsiblc Ledah was restored
to the arms of her father and nurses, in whose
hands she was ultimately restored to conscious
ness, health and strength once more. This say
age version of the classic story of Ptulo and
Proserpine is well-authenticated, and the girl,
now grown up woman, is at Amboyna, in the
Moluccas.

THE CANDETsH OUTLAWS sUBDUED.

A mountainous part of the British possessions
in the East WAS infested, about a quarter of u
century ago, by wild, fierce race, called Baeels,
who regarded robbery as sacred institution,
and followed it as a profession. A tribe Of .G(iy
thousand Of these plunderers, under leaders
whom they implicitly obeyed, held the strong
fastnesses of their native mountains, and SEEM
ed to defy the power of the government to dis
lodge them thence, more especially AS the eli
mate Of the place was so deadly, that in three
years service amongst the mountains of the
Bheels IL hundred soldiers in every regiment be-
came disabled.
So degraded did the character of the Bheels
appear that even the Hindoos regarded them as
outcasts, whom it was pollution to assist, and
righteousness to slay Drunkenness fearfully
prevailed amongst them, and they offered up
bloody sacrifices to the false deities whom they
adored. Their depredations were dreaded, and
SO hopeless appeared the idea of their ever be-
coming anything but robbers and murderers,
that Governor of Bombay had looked to their
utter determination us the only means by which
peace could be given to Candeish. t
Yet, by the mild Mounstuart Elphinstone, a
scheme was formed to reclaim even these out
easts--a scheme which required yet more coar-
age to execute, than benevolence to plan. 10
james Outram, youthful officer in the Bonn
bay service, was the dangerous task assigned,
and he did not shrink from it. In vain his
friends attempted to dissuade him from what
they deemed vain sacrifice of his life; he only
saw the duty before him, and went straight for
ward. t4.L ss3
Outram, in fight, had already gained some
success over the robber tribe. He now sent back
his detachment, and alone, unanned, unattend-
ed, threw himself among the savage Bheels,
his life being entirely at the mercy of those
against whom his sword had been SO lately
drawn. Many times was he in imincnt peril,
but a merciful Providence watched over him
whose end was mercy. 0utram gained the

hearts of the robbers; he hunted with them,
md astonished them by his feats Of daring he
taught them mechanics he dressed their sores,
he listened to their tales; he prescribed Tor
their diseases; those whom the sword could not
subdue, were subdued by the pOcer Of kindness!
The young British officer enlisted the wild Bheels
into military corps; those who had carried
terror in their name throughout the c. nt'
became now its defenders, and in less than two
years those who had been formerly trained only
to slaughter and rapine, had shed their blood
freely in the cause Of order.
sHall we draw no lesson from facts like these
Behold the porer of kindnessi Are we not
called upon to ciyilize, in our lanes and alleys,
os' whose education has, alas too much re-
sembled that of the robber tribes of Candeish
There are hundreds and thousands of unhappy
boys trained up to vice, living as pests to socie-
ty, who require but the voice of kindness, the
fostering hand Of benevolenee t. become, under
the Divine blessing, defenders Of the peace which
they now break. Who will enlist them under
the banner of the Cross o will come forward
to enroll them us the soldiers of Christi Who
will venture into the haunts Of misery and guilt
to seek the outcasts by the force of kindness,
the spell Of sympathy, to draw ortr the LATENT
good that may possibly lie in bosoms now fa-
miliar with crimel

Of Candeish, can it he wanting to those Chris
tian heroes who go forth on like GRAND of mer-

RULES TO AVOID RAILWAY ACCIDENTs.

RULES TO AVOID RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
In the last number Of IA very Useful publca-
ton, called The Museum Of Science and Art,
Dr. Lardner publishes the following
PLAIN RULES FOR RAILWAY Travellers.
|. Never attempt to get into OF out of Il rail
way carri4ge Will. it is moving, no matter how
slowly
2. Never sit in any unusual place Or posture.
8. 1t is an excellent general maxim in rail
way travelling, to remain in your place without
going out at all until you arrive at your desti-
nation. When this cannot be done, go out as
seldom as possible
A. Never get out at the wrong side of q rail-
way carriage,
5. Never pass from one side of the railway to
the other, except when it is indispcnsably neces-
sary to do SO, and then not without the utmost
precaution.
6. Express trains arc attended with more dan
ger than ordinary trains. Those who desire the
greatest degree of security should use them
only when great speed is Indispensable.
=, Sr-~a~lasa;s,o, ~-o...a,g.. v...l,.s-
other exceptional trains on railways are to he
avoided, being more unsafe than tho ordinary
and regular trains.
8. If the train in which you travel meet with
an accident by which it is stopped at part of
the line, Or AZ "a time when such stoppagc is not
regular, it is more advisable to quit the carriage
than to stay in it, but in quitting it remember
rules l., / and S.
0. Beware of yielding to the sudden impulse
to spring from the carriage to recover your hat
Which has blown off, or parcel dropped.
TO- When yol start on your journey, select
ii you can, a carriage at, or as near aS possible
TO, the centre of the train.
IL. Do not attempt to hand an article into %
rain in motion.
II. II you travel with yoar private carriage,
do not sit in it on the railway. Take your place
by preference in one OF tho regular railway
carriages.
l3, Beware of proceeding on Il coach road
across railway at a level crossing. Never do
50 without the express sanction of the gate
keeper.
Ii. When you can choose your time, travel
by day rather than by night; and if not urgent
ly pressed, do not travel in foggy weather

continual perspi ton he relates the following

many other persons, who died with hydropho-

Of the disease, he took to dancing night and day

dancing as being a remedy for the bite Of a tar

81 know by deaths dark surges driven
Thy barque hath reached the port Of Heaven"
They tell me she is dead
That light has faded from her soft blue eye
That meekly her young head
She bowed upon pillow cold to lie
As with heart serene, in holy trust,
She yiellst clay to clay, and dust to dust.
Can that kind heart be cold -
My chdhood's friend, my friend in early youth
Shall no more behold
fhe gent. face that beained with love and truth
Long happy hours I've fingered by her side
Death death why part from US the true and tried
Scarce can deem her passed
Away from earth !; l seem to see her now
.., As when / saw her last
Her hair smooth parted DER placid brow,
And on her lips smile of tranquil joy
Watching the slumbers Of her infant boy.
Alas death needed not
A mothers love for those sweet budding charms
The heaven her faith had sought
Hath won her from affections twning arms
And lie who beareth on his bosom mild
The tender lambs, will guard that orphan child.
They tell me she is dead
And those who saw her wasting day by day,
Fond bitter tears have she'd
And loves last tribute paid to liieless clay -
Yet, yet she liveth Faith with purer sight,
