Signs that Failed.

We remember tn story Of the innke ,per
who became proud as he prospered, and
taking down his sign of the ASS, put up a
portrait of George w in its place. His
neighbor Immediately raised the cast-off
efigy, and ''by this sign he conquered. -
The first landlord, alarmed at the increasing
popularity of his rival, and understanding
the cause, wrote underneath the grim visage
Of his Majesty, This is the real ASS" But
more ludicrous incident of the kind is just
now told at the expense Of the good Bishop
of Llandaif. He took up his abode near
the head of Lake Windermere, when the
principal inn had been known as the Cock
but tho landlord, by way of compliment to
his distinguished neighbor, substituted the
Bishop as the new sign. An innkeeper
close by, who had frequently envied mine
host Of the Cock for his good fortune in
securing considerable preponderance of
visitors, took advantage ofthe change, and
attracted many travellers to his house by
putting up the sign of the Cock. The land
lord with the new sign was much discomft-
ed at seeing many of his old customers de-
posted at his rivals establishment so, by
way of remedy, he put up, in large, red let
ters under the portrait Of the Bishop,
This is the old Cock"

Case Of Hydrephobia,

The Madison wis., Journal igives the
particulars of fearful case Of bydrophobia
where six children have died from having
inoculated the disease by drinking the milk
Of COW that had been bitten by q mad
dog years ago. The Journal says:
"Mr. Henry Drew, Assistant Superinten-
dent of Public Property, has related to US
the particulars OF case of hydrophobia at
the village Of Waterloo, which surpasses in
tragic interest almost any stcry Of the kind
we ever read
Some six or seven years ago mad dog
went through the village of Waterloo, JEFF
ferson County, and bit number Of animals
Among others it snapped at the leg Of a
was examined but no mark was found, and
IT was supposed that it escaped being bitten.
The animal was afterwards sold to man by
the name of Garrison, who used her milk
very freely, as did two of his children. -
Some of the neighbors, including Mr..
Drew's family, were also supplied with the
milk of this COW.
'At different times during tho time since
the COW was bitten there has been inexpli-
cable and fatal sickness among those using
her milk, and two children Of Mr.. CARR
sons two of Mr. Drew's and two others,
have been attacked with spasms and died in
great agony. Mr.. arrison has also been
attacked at times with spasms. The mys-
terry of this sickness was solved by the death,
with every symptom Of hydrophobis,
short time ago, of the COW so slightly bitten
seven years ago, and in whose system mad
ness had been latent ever since.
The case is singular one and worthy
the attention of scientific men,"

Apology of Lord Paimersto0 TO
Mai..Gen. Butler.

When Gen Butler issued his celebrated
Order No. %, in New Orleans, known as
the woman order" he was denounced by
the rebel chieftain Beauregard as beast"
which epithet has net only echoed all over
the South, but was adopted in spirit By Lord
Palmerston, late prime minister to Great
Britain. Shortly afterward, the Kane-Pal-
merston scandal was set afoat, much to the
discredit of our noble lord. Gen Butler
took advantage of the fact, and addressed a
note to distinguished gentleman on the
other side of the Atlantic, in which he al
luded to the fact that Palmerston had re-.
peated the dirty scandal about his Butler's)
woman order, " that perhaps the learned
premier was not aware that the order,
which, in consequence of the beustly conduct
of the rebel women of New Orleans toward
the Federal troops. became military neces-
sity, was copied rer6atim from an order of
the city council of London, established dur
ing time of peace. Gen. Butler, baving
just heard Of the gossip about Mrs. Kane
and Palmerston, remarked, in the letter re-
ferred to, that probably his lordship had be-
gun to learn how good it was to be.slander
ed. Upon reading Gen. Buffers letter,
which embraced all the facts about the mis-.
conduct of women, making Order No. 2S
necessity, Lord Palmerston wrote letter
of apology to Gen. Butler, which the latter
still holds. Washington Republican.

the cars lawson sprang upon Mowrey,
seizing his rife by the muzzle and drawing

the barrel of the revolver, retaining his
hold on the stock of the musket. 1t was q

quit his grasp from either weapon. Then
began the terrible struggle for life or death
The ground is spoken of by persons who
afterward saw it as resembling the arena of

Appearance Of the Congress-
men.

The Washington correspondent of the
Methodist, writing to that paper of last
week, gives the following complimentary
characterization of the personal appearance
of the new Congress:
"The personal appearance of this Con-
gress in face, dress, manner and in that in
defnable something which we call air, is
far superior, as our memory reports, to any
thing in the history of the past. There
seenito be but few representatives of the
class of fast men, who formerly figured so
conspicuously in Washington-on dapper,
whipper-snapper looking specimens the
roughs, too, seem scarce, and the great mass
wear an air of thoughtfulness as though
they understood and felt the magnitude of
the errand that brought them to the capi-
tal."
