HYDRopHoBIA.-The papers already announcing
cases of hydrophophia in various parts of the
Try. Innumerable cures of incurable diseases are
heralded through the newspapers and never heard Of
again. In our exchanges we note the following,
which sufficiently RATIONAL at least to be worth
a thorough trial:
DR.. Blisson, Lyons physician, claims to have dis
covered a certain remedy for hydFophobia. lie re-
lates that in attending female patient in the last
stages Of the canine rabies, he mprudeutly wiped his
bands with handkerchief impregnated with her
saliva. There happened to be slight strateA The
forefnge Of tie left hand, and, confident Of Ills
curative system the doctor merely washed the part with
water. However he was fully aware of the impru-
dence he had committed, and gave the following
count OF the matter afterwards:
Believing that the maladY would not declare itself
until the fourteenth day and having many patients
20 visit he put of from day 10 day the application OF
any remedy, that is to say, vap0r baths The ninth
day, being in his Office he felt all at pain in
his throat and still greater one in the eyes. His
body felt So light that he felt as if he could jump to
a prodigous height that if he threw himself out
OF the window, he could sustain himself in the air
His hair was SO sensitive that be appeared able TO
count each separately without looking at it. Saliva
kept continually forming in his mouth. Any move
mcnt Of the air indicated great pain to him, and he
vas obliged to avoid the sight Of brilliant objects He
had q continued desire to run and bite, not human
beings but animals and all that was near him. He
drank with difficulty, and be remarked that Che sight
Of water distressed him more than the pain in his
throat. He believed that by shutting the eyes any
one suffering from hydrophoba can always drink.
The ft came on every FIVE minutes and then he felt
the pain start from the forefnger and up the
nerves to the shoulder. In this state, thinking that
this course was prescrvave and not curative lie took
a vapor BATH not with the intention of cure, but of
suifocatng himself When the bath was at a beat Of
SO centrigrade (I23 flhrenheit) all the symptoms
disappeared, as if by magic and since then he has
felt nothing Of them.

The passage of the Pittsburgh and Con-
nellsyille and Cleveland and Mshoning
railroad bills through the House of Rep
resentatives on Wednesday and Thursday
last isa step towards the construction ofH
new railroad route from Washington 10
this city and the Northwest, This route
lies from Washington direct to Point of
Rocks, instead of around by the Relay
House from Point Of Rocks to
Cumberland; from Cumberland to
Connellsville, PENN from Connells-
vile TO Pittsburgh from Pittsburgh to
Newcastle, Penn. and from that city to
Cleveland ria. Youngstown. The line
from Point of Rocks to Cumberland, from
ConneAv VIII to Pittsburgh, and from New
castle to Cleveland is already constructed,
and that from Washington to Point of
Rocks is in process of construction. The
only parts of the line to be constructed
are from Cumberland to Connellsville,
ffty-fve miles, and from Pittsburgh to
Newcastle forty-fve. But the selfish rapae-
ityofthe Pennsylvania Legislature ledthem
to refuse the necessary charters for the
building of the roads, and the enterprise
was blocked. At this stage Congress steps
in and claims the right 10 authorize the
completion of the roads in question under
the clause in the constitution giving Con-
gress power to regulate commerce be-
ween the states. Mr.. Stevens bill, author
izing the Pittsburgh and ConnellsvIlle
railroad to extend the railroad to
Cumberland, passed the House on
Monday last by svote of 65 to 81, and
Mr.. Garfeld's bill authorizing the CleVe-
land Mountaineering railroad to extend
their railroad to Pittsburgh, passed the
House on Thursday, by ITO Al. If these
two bills pass the Senate, and arelApprov=
ed by The PresidedEy authority will be
given FOR the completion of an entirely |
new railroads from this city to Wash
ington, much shorter than any now con-
structed. Mr.. Garfield, the able and faith
full representative of the Nineteenth Con-
gressional District is entitled to much
credit for his effortsin behalf of the new
route.

~aReesnt adyices from South America in
dictate the probability that the wal which
little Paraguay, under the leadership of
the gallant Lopez, has been waging
against the combined forces of Brazil,
Uruguay and the Argentine Republic,
will be ended, by the vast preponder-
ance of forces, in favor of the allies. The
struggle, which was at first made upon
the territory of the Argentine Confeder-
alton, has been transferred to Para
guayan soil, and instead of Lopez being
the invader, as he was during the first
year Of the war, he IS struggling unsuc-
cessfuIly to repel an invasion of his own
country. Six months and more ago he
fell back across the Parana river into
Paraguay, and constructed six miles back
from the river a strongly i%ntrenched
camp. Meantime he made all prepare
tions possible to prevent the allies from
crossing the river. At last, after a long
time spent in preparation, the Brazilians
commenced their forward movement. On
the 9TH of April, two Brazilian brigades,
embarking in ships, ran past Fortress
Itapiru, q formidable Paraguayan fortress,
overlooking the river, and occupied the
island Of Carvalho, near it. On the 10th
a large force of Paragraphs attempted
TO dislodge them, but were repuised, losing
in killed, wounded, prisoners and drowned
nearly 1000 men, while the losses of their
opponents did not exceed $50. On the
18th 10000 Brazilians crossed the river
above the fortress and attacked it in the
rear, engaging q forcs of 5000 Paraguay
ans, defeating them with great loss, and
taking possession of Itapiru. On7the 18th
the remainder of the allied forces crossed
the Parana, and advanced on the entrench-
ed camp of the Paraguayans six miles
distant. On their approach Lopez,
conscious of his weakness, abandoned his
position and fell back en- Humaita, on the
Paraguay river, a few miles above its
junction with the Parana. The allied
forces are now marching against that
place, and it has probably been taken by
them ere this.
fWhileth this campaign has been conducted
on the southwestern boundary of Para
quay, another is in progress on its eastern
border. Twelve thousand Brazilians have
invaded Paraguay from that direction,
and sre marching against Asuncion, its
capital. We 0 expect to hear of the
termination of the war, which will pro-
baby bring about the abdication of Lopez
and a radical change in the Paragusyan
constitution

BIOndin OutdOne-The Latest sensa-
ffQu.-

From the N. Y. CERES of the Hartford Press.
You may recall one De Lave, a tight
rope performer, who a long time ago as
tonished the natives of Rochester BY his
feats above the Genesse Falls. He has
just returned here from many years spent
in South America and Mexico, and is go
ing to give the public a new sensation.
He proposes TO cross the Falls of
Niagara on a small wire, as "the Ameri-
can Eagle" To explain, he is now having
a large leather eagle made here in the city.
which is to be stuck full OF feathers
and otherwise manipulated so as to re-
semble a live one of monstrous propor-
tions. This is to fit closely about his
body, and on walking the wire he will
balance himself by tapping the artificial
wings. At the game time a rope is to be
suspended by him below the wire, to
which his son, a boy eight years old, will
cling and go through with various athletic
performances as the father advances
across the Falls. De Lave likewise pro
poses TO walk on a wire over the Falls,
carrying both his wife and son on his
back. This promises to be the great SEN
sation Of the season. De Lave has been
performing at the City of Mexico, where
he occasioned a considerable farore. He
brings with him a medal received from the
Emperor Macmillan.

The latest New York scandal is of a
fashionable couple who quarrelled a few
mornings since, whereupon the wife, by
the advice of her parents, sued for a d.
vorce- The case is only noteworthy from
the ridiculous cause of the quarrel. One
morning itseems thatthe husband washed
himself, as usual, in the bowl used by
both, but the lady for some reason refused
to use it that morning, and rang the bell
for another. 1t was brought, when the
now indignant husband flung it violently
on the floor, breaking it in pieces. The
wife thereupon called him hard names,
when he locked the bedroom door and in
sisted that she should use the bowl. She
vowed that she wouldn't, if she Hyent
with a dirty face for a week. He swore
she should, and so filling the bowl, he
seized her hands, and using sufficient
force, washed her face for her. He then
unlocked the door and went to his bust
ness, while she went to consult q lawyer,
and the suit began.

The Record.

The removal from Office of Union office
holders during the last few months, sim
ply on account of their steadfast fidelity
to the Union party and its principles, have
of late been sweeping and wholesale. The
course of the President in prescribing
these men, and in attempting, by his pat
ronage, to purchase the support of the
Union party to Amy policy has drawn
down upon him the condemnation of all
members of that party. In order to limit
The Presidents abuse of power in this re-
gard, Mr.. Farnsworth, of Illinois, intro
duced in the House the following amend
ment to ths3Ex bill:
HAnd be It further enacted, That all as
SCISSORS, colleetors, and revenue agents pro-
vided for by this act, or the several acts TO
which this act is a%mendatory, shall be ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States, with the advice and consent of the
Senate and the advice and consent of the
Senate shall be given before any such off
Ger shall be removed from Office, unless
such removal shall be for malfeasance in
office, during the recess of Congress"
This is the mildest of the several at
tempts that have been made to limit the
Presidents power of removal. 1t applies
merely to several offices provided for by
the act in question. 1t does not interfere
with vacancies created by resignation, or
by expiration of office. 1t gives the Pres
ident ample power TO dispense with IN
worthy public servants-those who, in his
opinion, have been guilty of malfeasance
in ofice-during a recess of the Senate.
1t merely provides for the assertion of the
coordinate power oyer the Federal ap-
pointments which the Constitution ex-
pressly guarantees to the Senate Of the
United States. And the object for which
it is proposed to exercise this power is 10
protect the Union incumbents of Federal
offices from the blind rage of a pro-
scriptive President. We find that a ma
jority of the Unionists in Congress voted
for it, but that a minority, cooperating
with the Democrats, defeated it, and re-
tanned the power of making removals in
the hands of the President. Five of the
seventeen Union Congressman from Ohio
voted with the Copperheads against this
amendment and helped to defeat it
Their names are as follows James Il.
HuJ5eH, R. P. Bueklaapd, Columbus Detano,

radical o~fiee-holders in this district are
removed because of their refusal to accept

for their removal.
