Mad DoGs.-The Cleveland Plain Dealer
understands that several mad dogs have been
shot IN that city lately. The cause for hydrop.
pobia, it says, is attributed to the late cold
weather, which has prevented the animals from
getting at running water-the creeks, cutters,
&C., being all frozen up.

correspondence OF tho n. I. TRIBUNE
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 17.-All the soon
trabands" have been turned out of Jail here.
Their history reveals deep measures and
wicked on the part of portion of the people
Last fall, when Buel's army was here, hum
dreds Of ex.slaves came with it, and were
picked up by the police and thrown into iail.
According to Kentucky law they could not be
sold until they had been in prison eight
months, but the Jail being full they were sent
to Jails in different parts of the state. To
meet the emergency the legislature last win
ter changed the term of Imprisonment from
eight months to thirty days before sales could
take place, thus prohtng the state at the ex-
pense of other states.
While in prison more than hundred of
the poor creatures died. The water they had
to drink was SO filthy that it became their
poison. Many of the survivors were sold
out, and went abroad to tell this story of suf-
ferlngs, and it hadits effect. The military au-
thorities took the matter up. They cleaned
the Jail of the poor ex-slaves, and liberated
many that had been sold The friends of lib
erty have eXerted themselves in their behalf.
They proceed as follows: After finding the
"contraband," and taking down his story four
soldiers are sent, with fixed bayonets, to
bring him to camp. The claimant can follow
if he chooses and have fair trial. If from
another state the "contraband" is released.
We set them to work on the Notifications.
Most of them are willing to do anything we
ask. They work faithfully ten hours day,
and do more digging than a much greater
number of our white boys. They also want
to fight, and are quite willing to enlist for
three years. They say, Life is nothing TO
us unless we can have our freedom, and to go
north for our own safety, while needed here,
we can't think of it." They talk with enthu-
siasm about fighting their way to their tami-
lies i'll the south.
have twenty now that l drill once a day.
They are very apt, and and in shooting at a
target even beat some of the white soldiers.
Three months ago many of our soldiera here
said they would not fight with negro, but on
getting word the other day that the rebels
were about to attack u.s. a team was dispatched
for guns for our twenty contrabandS, who
took their places by the side of our white boys
who felt glad that they could avail themselves
of their aid.

curious and quite unexpected incident
has just interviewed IN the contest between the
Crown and the people OF Prussia, and may be
OF decisive influence upon its ultimate issue.
The Crown Prince has openly and firmly
ranged himself on the side of the opposition.
in public speech at Dantzic he declined all
responsibility for the foolish DEGREES by which
his obstinate father has cstranged both the at
lection and the respect of the immense ma
Jority of his people. The sincerity of this
declaration was, at first, doubted by many
Liberals, but, according to the latest accounts
from Prussia, both the King and the Prince
look upon it as something very serious. The
King has demanded of the Prince public re-
TRACTION Of the views expressed IN his address,
and threatened to deprive him, in case of re-
tusa, of all his dignties and appointments.
In this trying and embarrassing position, the
Crown Prince acted with tirmness which has
taken the country by surprise. He refused to
retract anything, offered to resign his COM
mand and his hOnOrS, and requested leave to
retire with his wife and family to some place
where he might be free from the suspicion of
interfering in any way in the affairs Of State
The English papers, with just and natural
qualification, mention the fact that the crown
princess in this question not only fully SYM
pathzes with her husband, but that she gives
to her oplnDn an even more emphatic ex-
preston. She is said to have assured the
magistrates OF Elbing that her husband was
anything but pleased with the present regime,
but did not willingly express himself on the
subject; "but," she added, "tell the people
have said so to you"
If it be true that this firm position has been
taken by the crown prince of Prussia, the
danger ola revolution i'll that country is prob.
ably passed. The Prussian people were aware
that they were almost unit in opposing the
unconstitutional measures of the ministry.
They were sure that their unanimity would be
able to overcome at length any despotic pres
sure to which the king and the aristocracy
might have recourse. Still, an excess of vio-
lence might have plunged the country, almost
against the will of the people, into civil war,
and war at the present Juncture of Euro
pean politics might have seriously endangered
the prospects of the progressive party, which
now polls in no country of Europe a larger
vote than in Prussia If the nation knows
that the heir-apparent is in favor of keeping
the constitution inviolate, they will be sure
to endure patiently the vagaries of the blum
dering old king, hoping that time will soon
give them an opportunity of marching peace
ably onward on the road of constitutional and
democratic REFORM Tribune.

The "BULLs" IN THE Coal MARKET.-It
was shrewd speculative trick of the coal men
to telegraph from Philadelphia, on Monday
morning that the colleries would be closed
''until the crisis has passed" Its intended
effect was accomplished with the speed OF the
wind. The papers spread the news, the coal
dealers in every city and i'll every little town
scented it aiar, coal jumped up dollar ton.
The spectators made fine job of it, and the
wretched housekeepers logged out reluctant
"greenback" to pay for that which was no
more valuable on Tuesday than it had been
on Monday morning
The rebels had been nowhere near the coal
mines of Pennsylvania-but coal went up.
Lee had no particular spite against the Golfers
but the cullieries were promptly closed.
jenkins had other use for his cavalry than to
send them 60 or 20 miles to the northward to
wage war in the coal region-still, the coal
men shut up shop. The Pennsylvania mines
have neither been threatened by the rebels nor
the production of coal been endangered-an
coal is up a dollar ton. The spectators
have made Il very good thing of it, Now
that Lee is retreating and Meade preparing to
defeat him, perhaps the coal men will be con-
tent with the panic they have raised and the
money they have made, and go back to the
market as it was before the Operations for a
rise. N. T. EUening Post.

THE BREATHING OF TREEs-How to Restore
Health to the BloOd.--A few years ago, if it had
been asserted that trees had lungs md breathed the
idea would have been secuted; yet it is true. The
leaves of trees and plants abstract the vital mir
oxygen from the atmosphere and create the sap
pretty much in the way that the lungs of ami
mails @reae the blood. Upon the condition of this
fluid, 1--WE mean the blood) the health of the system
through which it circuutes absolutely depends.
The lungs cannot purify from the seeds of disease
Indeed, they exist in it, the lungs themselves will
be in morbid state. These things were well un
derstood by Dr. HOLLOWAY, when quarter of a
century ago he gave to the world his PILLS and
OINrMENT now so celebrated in every region of The
earth His design was to penetrate TO the sources of
internal and external disease in the circulation and it
would seem that his preparations accomplish this
opJect with singular rapidity and dircctness. Hence
the uniformity of these cures, we presume. They
seem to produce precisely the same saluary effects
In all cases, in all climates, and nnder every variety
of circumstances "A strong proof that they operate
upon the rather than the consequences of dis
ease BE this as it may, the fact is undisputed, that
the PILLS and OINTMENT have become the great
popular medicines of all countries because of their
intrinsic excellence In diseases of the organs of
respiration, SO common in this country, also in
every species of every eruptve and ulcerous disor
der, the Ointment works wonders; while for dys-
pepsa the Pills stated to be positive specific

over there; we want to go over and talk to

crossed to our lines and entered into a con-
versation which continued for upwards of an

most friendly manner, and the rebels finally
expressed wish to remain on this side; but
