The Slanderer.

There are two shameless characters in

She other is a base, crawling, eriaging
wretch, whose superauage of praise is
never given but for the purposes Of decepS
ton. But the former is the more infa-
nous Of the two. The latter is meaner
ly nature. Not so the other he is delib>
rrately bad. The prince Of the lower re-

The lest men and women are always the

Horrible Death of a Little Girl from Hy-
drOphotia,


About the beginning of November last, Melissa
Carhart, aged Il years, daughter of John Carhart
of Hickory Grove township, Iowa, was bitten on
the arm by dog. The Davenport Gazette thus
describes the result:
Last week she complained Of pain in her back
and general indisposition. Showing her dog
wound " to one of her school companions last
week, she said it was still painful, and her sores
looked intiamed. Saturday afternoon she laid in
bed. Sunday morning last she went into eonvul-
slons on the sight of water Her commissions after
wards were from few minutes to over an hour in
duration, and she was sensible between them. Dur
ing these spasms, she clutched at everything VIC.
iently, chewed napkin, and appeared made more
frantic by the appearance Of her own saliva on
the napkin. At times she shrieked fearfuly, vet
did not appear sensible. 1t was horrid spectacle.
Monday morning, during her rational moments.
she called the family around her, and babe them
an aectionate farewell being fully sensible of her
hopeless condition Her commissions gradually be-
came weaker, and Monday evening, at 81 o'clock,
she quietly died We learn these particulars from
Squire Green and Mr.. John Cavendish the latter
of whom was with her almost constantly from sun.
day morning till the hour of her death Her death
occurred about nine weeks after the date of the
biting. So far as we can ascertain, no other per
sons were bitten by this dog, nor any cattle, etc.
The dog, very large one, appeared suddenly and
mysterlously, and was utterly unknown in the
neghborhOOd.

According to the Ceuta correspondent Of the
London Times the war in Morocco is waged with
savage barbarity on both sides:
1t is positively stated and believed in camp that
the Moorish Emperor grants dollar for every head
and four for every live Spaniard brought in. We
are not aware that any four dollar premiums have
yet been granted. The galley slaves, who have
been armed and who fight desperately and have
had good many killed and wounded have been
promised a dollar for every live Moor ,hcy bring
in, and they go ont Of nights, on the prowl, in
hopes of captures. Although the much higher
price offered by the Moorish Government for living
than for dead would serve to indicate desire to
humanize the war, it has hitherto been carried on
entirely without quarter. The Moors began in that
way. with system Of pitifess slaughter, and the
Spaniards have been eXasperated almost to fero-
city BY this, and now scrupulousy follow their ex-
ample. Hitherto we have not brought in a single
prisoner. A very few have been made, but killed
by the soldiers before they got into camp at which
General O'DOnnell was very wroth.
The soldiers say that the Moors will not let them
selves be taken that they fight desperately until
killed and this is very likely to be the case in the
majority of instances, but it is difficult to believe
that some captures although only Of men wound
ed, might not be made. The Moors, they say, lie
down and will not rise, and their obstinacy pro-
yokes bayonet thrust They might one would
think, be bound hand and foot and carried in, and
it is not impossible that useful information might
be extracted from some Of them. Mercy In war
Is not however, one of the most conspicuous quail
tiles of Spanards, and moreover there are tales
and traditions current Of horrible crueties which
the Moors are in the habit of niicting on the enc
mics who fall into their hands and in fact, the
war has at this, its outset assumed the most san
culinary and ferocous character l believe any
Spaniard would prefer death to falling alive into
Moorish hands,

A MODEL LOVER AND HusBaSD.-About year
since young man was arrested in West Philadel-
phia on the charge Of attempting to shoot a young
lady. The shooter, it seems was in love with the
lady, who did not reciproeate the passion, and the
lover attempted to force his attentions upon her.
At the time OF the attempted shooting, the young
woman was endeayoring to avoid the young man,
while on the Darby road, and the loving youth
drew pistol and fired upon the reluctant dame,
but fortunately without hitting her. One evening
recently the young man was again arrested at the
suit OF the lady, who charged him with attempting
to kill her with razor. 1t appears that the couple
are now married. and this violent matrimonial life
is only sequence to the stormy courtship which it
followed. WAS ever woman in such humor
