girl Of ten years, attempted to defend
the little dog, when the rabid brute seized
her by the arm, INJECTING severe wound,
and then by the hand, lacerating it with
his teeth in fearful manner. lie then
passed on, stopping to very dog of

At Harwood he bit several dogs, and at

avert the fearful consequences attending
the bite Of a mad dog.
All the dogs which he was known to
have bitten were Immediately killed. A
fine horse belonging to Mr.. Finlay is also
supposed to have been bitten by bim.-
In fact, the damage which it is known
he has, committed is fearful, whilst in all
probability we have much more to learn
of the ravages of this one rabid animal,
The consequences which may be the re-
suit of His mad career we shudder to i'm
agine. Those living in the localities
through which he run will require to ex-

Curioaities Of Eating.

An old beau, formerly we'll known in
Washington City, Was accustomed To eat
but one meal III twenty four hours if, af.
ter this, he had to 30 to a party and take u
second dinner, he ave nothing at all next
day. He died atthe aye of seventy years.
A lady Of culture, refinement, aud un.
usual powers of observation aud compar-
son, became widow. Reduced from af.
haence to poverty, with large family of
small children dependent on her manual
labor for daily food, she made variety of
experiments to ascertain what articles
could be purchased for the least money,
and would, at the same time, ego the far
thest," bJ-keeping her children longest
from crying for something to eat. She
soon discovered that when they ate buck
wheat cakes and molasses, they were qui.
ct for longer time than after eating any
other Kind of food.
A distinguished judge Of the United
States District Court observed that, when
be took buck wheat cakes for break fast, he
could sit on this bench the whole day with.
out being uncomfortably hungry if the
cakes were omitted he felt obliged to take
lunch about noon. Buckwheat cakes
are a universal favorite at the winter
i; breakfast table, and scientific investigation
and analysis has shown that they abound
in the heat-forming principle, hence Ma
ture takes away our appetite for them in
summer.
During the Irish famine, when many
died of hunger, the poor were often
found spending their last shilling for
tea and tobacco and spirits. 1t has also
been often observed in New York, by
those connected with charitable institu,
tons, that when money was paid to the
poor, they often laid out every cent in tea
or coffee, instead Of procuring the more
substantial food, such as meal, anl -four,
and potatoes. On being reproved for this
apparent extravaganza and improvdence,
the reply in both cases, was indentical !;
their own observation had shown them
that penny's worth Of tea, or tobacco, or
liquor, would keep off the sense of hunger
longer than penny's worth of anything
else. Scientific men express the idea by
saying, "Tea, like alcohol, retards the me-
tamorphosis of the issues" in other
words, it gives fuel to the fame of life,
and thus prevents it from consuming the
fat and flesh of the body.
If "A person gets into the habit Of taking
lunch between breakfast and dinner, he
will very soon find himself getting faint
about the regular luuchcon-time; but let
him be so pressed with important engage
meuts for several days in succession Us to
take nothing between meals, it will not be
long before he can dispense with his lun-
cheon altogether. These things seem to
show that, to certain extent, eating
often, is mere matter of habit Whole

Grlhood.

Who more gleeful, happy, charming
and fascinating, than simple, cheerful
girls, from twelve to fifteen years of age :?
This epoch of their life resembles that pc
culiar period of a summer morning, known
only to carly r!sers, which combines the
soft light of the dawn with the magnii.
cent splendor Of the full-orbed day. In
the full promise of dazzling noon is seen
the clustering, sparkling dew drop, the
half blown flower, while wood and field
and lawn are vocal with the rapturous
songs Of birds.
Such is picture of the morning of
girlhood, which precedes the glory of true
womanhood, sparkling with angelic Juno

EASTERN FANCIES.

When speaking of Eastern fances, we
DO not aliude to anything having its life
or being in that region sometimes famili-
arly called here "down East" In this
latter land, there is much hallucination,
but no poetry; and there are fancies
enough, in all conscience, but no. such as
to enlist interest or to invite reproduction.
We have no admiration for Yankecdom,
or its peculiar ciuiHzation, or its represen-
tative men, or its morals, or its religion, or
its philanthropy, or for any of its distinct
tive traits. In inviting our readers then
to Accompanies Eastward, VIC mean to far
away regions of the old world regions in
which nor Christian nor Jew, nor even
Mahometan ever loses his interest.
"Immutability" says Wal burton, ''is
the most striking characteristic of the
East: from the ancient strife of Cain and
Abel, to the present struggle between the
Crescent and the Cross, its people remain
in their habits of thought and action less
changed than the countries they inhabit.
The fertile Vale of Siddim has become the
coffin Of the Dead Sea, ant the barriers of
the Nile have rolled down from Ethiopia
to the Delta; but the patriarch still sits
at the door of his tent, ON the plain of
Mamre,' and the Egyptian still cultivates
his river-given soil in the manner prac-
tised by the subjects of the Pharaohs."
Que can scarcely tire of traversng, in
books at least, the lands where romance
sill exists in every day life, and where be
i'll may fnd the 'politics and manners
of the time of Moses, Saracen society,
cloudts days, and Arabian nights
We fear that many Americans are in
the mental condition Of the young man,
who hearing some way-side Jericho an
nounced by a railroad conductor, re-
marked that he did not know there was
such place really as he had always

ELSEWHERE" says Warburton, Eve can
but dimly discern the actors aud scenery
Of the Elder World through the curtain Of
obscurity drawn over it by Time; but here,
the Past is 80 faithfully reflected in the
Present, that the drama of ancient life
seems never interrupted. When we look
upon the very scenes where Paradise was
lost and was regaincd-where the Pyru-
mlds and Karnac rose, and still vindicate
their early fame-we find that scenery
still peopled by the Ishmacite: and the
stranger still received by Sheiks of Abra

Garibaldi' 8 Speech.

To-day Garibaldi was publicly re-
ceived by the people and corporation of
this town, and presented with an address
of affectionate congratulation on his arri.
val in this country, in the ancient Town
Hall, which forms the upper story of the
we'll known bar-gate of Southampton
Everything passed off most satisfactorily
and with the utmost enthusiasm, the re-
ception accorded to the Italian patriot
wherever he appeared being most hearty
and thoroughly earnest.
The mayor made speech and the Town
Clerk read the corporate address to the
General.
General Garibaldi then bent forward
and remained for some minutes bowing, in
answer to the tumultuous applause with
which he was gree.el. He at last spoke
few words with evident deep feeling,
but with SO strong foreign accent and
symptoms of effort to overcome the diff
iculties Of pronunciation, that his de-
livery was remarkably slow, though at all
times clear and distinct. He said:

ceived proof of the sympathy of the Eng

enthusiasm with which these few remarks
were greeted, though, unfortunately, the

Bees and Honey Of Greece.

The honeys of Hybla and Hymettus are
at this day almost as celebrated as they
were in the the time Of the classic Greek
poets. The honeys of Cerigo, Of Zante,
and many other places, continental and
insular, are all fine, and each has its admi-
rcrs. The honey of Ieucadia is, perhaps,
almost as good as any, and the descendants
of the bees that fed Ulysses deserve some
consideration. I was interested then in
the little beo-garden on the site of the
city Of Leucas. 1t was rocky, barren
looking spot, and did not at first ght seem
promising, for the whole ground, for q
great distance around, looks naked and
without vegetation but it is not really
so. Every little crevice or interval be-
tween two stones, whether large or small,
and not few holes made by vegetation in
the solid rock itself, contain some little
towering plant especially patronized by
the honey bee. Rosemary aud sages
abound. Iwas not much surprised, there
fore to see the bees, but the hives rather
puzzled me at FIRST. They consist Of
small oblong boxes placed on cad on q low
stone, each box being covered by two or
three tiles, evidently to keep % the heat
of tho sun in the summer. Two round
holes, each about half an inch in diameter
sufficed for the bees to e'iter and emerge,
and it did not seem to matter much where
the holes we're pierced. The boxes were
constructed in the toughest manner, and
seemed to be not two feet apart, aud ea,h
box was about twenty inches high and
nine iuches square. The bees were ex.
