Cure YoR HYDRoPHoBIA.-M. Gulabert, a sur
Yeon Of the first class in the French navy has just ad
dressed letter to the Academy Of Sciences in Paris,
on a specific which enjoys great reputation in Greece
as a sovereign remedy for hydrophoba. In 1852, he
received orders to visit the Convent of Saint Mary
Phaneromene in the Island'of Saamis noted for many
wonderful cures, in order TO examine the remedy, and
inquire into the treatment Of the patients aboring
der that terrible malady, and in 1855 some of his OBJ
servations were communicated to the Academy Of
Medicine. The treatment is as follows:
1.-THE bite e first cauterised with boiling oil and ID
grains Of powder, composed of equal parts of the
radical bark of the SywaRchum erectu and insect
known in entomology by the name of Uylobris smacu.
5ata are administered inwsrdly DR.. Camescasse then
chief physician to the navy at Smyrna subsequently
sent both the plant and insect TO the French Minister
Of Commerce. Although the efficacy Of the specific
vss doubted, not only by the above gentlemen but
by Dr. Rozer physician TO King Ohio of Greece, it
Was resolved that it should be put to the test at
the first opportunity. As DIR. Rozer had often been
Obliged TO cure the effects produced by the treat
rnenf of the monks of Salamis such violent vomt
ing and purging he determined to modify the prescrlp
ten. The first case of hydrophobia that presented
itself be treated as follows the wound cauterised
with a red.hot iron, and half grain of canharides
administered internally, and repeated until symptoms
of gastro-ntestinal irritation appeared. As for the
synancham which is weak purgative, he admins
fsred under the form Of decoction in the proper
ton Of ~ grammes per kIogramme OF water. The
patient was saved
RUNAWAY SLAVES IN ILLiNoIs.-Some time since,
the agents Of the Illinois Central Railroad permitted
runaway slave from Missouri 10 ride over the road
from Cairo TO Chicago. The Missouri owner OF the
chatte sued the Railroad Company for the value OF
his property, and the case has just been decided by
the Supreme Court of Illinois According to the Che
caeo Democrat the opinion of the Courts Is in effect,
that the constitution and laws OF Illinois recognise all
men within the State as free men; that Slavery Is an
institution Of mere local law in the States where 1t
exists which local law extends to other State that
fhe law Of Missouri under which the alleged slave is
claimed by the plaintiff, has force whatever in the
State Of Illinois, but s "repugnant TO our laws and
tka. mt lou nf
has no property in the fugitive and can here, under
State authority, assert no property in or authority
"over him." The Court fnrtner give the opinion that
the that comes under the jurisdiction OF the
Federal Courts, and that State tribunal cannot take
Cognzanee of such causes-and concludes that prop
ery in persons being repugnant TO our laws and the
"genus Of our State institutions, our Courts will not
"enioroe as general rule, the laws OF other States
recognizing this species Of property, where the cause
" Of action based upon such laws arises IN ths state.
1t is said that the will be carried TO the Supreme
Court of the United States.
