REyoLUTIoN IN MARYLAND.

Advices from Northern and Western
Maryland, including Baltimore county,
represent that the political contest there
is growing exciting. The Union men
show no signs of backing down from the
platform of the Republican party, and
the soldiers who fought-on the Union
side declare that whatever the decision
of the Legislature or judiciary concern
ing the registry law, rebel soldiers shall
not be allowed to vote. They avow their
determination to return at every hazard
their Union member to Congress.
So says dispatch to the radical St
Louis Democrat 1t is the outcropping
fthat new revolution which the enemies
of The Southern people appear intent
upon plunging the country into. Resist
ance to the solemn adjudications OF the
Courts is as much treason and revolution
as the rebellion of the South. 1t will be
the duty of the President to suppress
the Maryland rebellion.

A. Wonderful Memory.

The learned Bishop Jewel, who died in
1871, was blessed with most wonderful
memory. He could exactly repeat what he
had written at any former period after once
reading it. During the ringing of the bell
for public worship he could commit to mem
DRY whole sermon and pronounce it with
out hesitation. His usual custom was to
write the heads Of his sermon on his mem
DRY, and so firmly were they, after few
minutes, impressed on his mind, that he
used to say that if 10000 people were fight
ing and quarreling all the time he was preach
ing they could not confuse him. To put
him to full trial, DIR. Parkhurst uttered
to him some of the most difficult and bar
barous words he could find in calendar,
and Bishop Hooper, Of Gloucester, gave him
forty Welsh, Irish, and foreign words, and
after twice reading, and little recollection,
he repeated them backward and forward.
In the year 1868 Sir Nicholas Bacon, lord
keeper Of the great seal, having read to
him from Erasmus's Paraphrase the last
clause Of ten lines, confused and imperfect,
with view of more fully trying his gift,
sitting silent awhile, and covering his head
with his hand, he rehearsed all the broken
parts the right way and the reverse without
hesitation. He protested to teach this art
to others, and SO instructed his tutor, Dir.
Parkhurst, at Zurich, that within twenty
eight days, by giving only one hour day
to the subject, he learned all the twenty
eight chapters Of the gospel of Matthew 40
perfectly that he could repeat any verse,
telling what went before and what followed.

In these days Of swindling Gift Enter
prises, when experience is about the only
harvest of the investment, the following note
will be read with interest:
Some years ago, when all the world were
mad upon the lotteries, the cook of mid
die aged gentlemen drew from his hands
the savings of some years. Her master
curious to know the cause, learned that she
had repeatedly dreamed that certain num-
Der was q great prize, and she had bought
it. He called her fool for her pains, and
never omitted an occasion to tease her upon
the subject. One day, however, the master
saw in the newspapers, or at his bookseller s
country seat, that the number was actually
the $4,000 prize. Cook was called up, a
palaver ensues; had known each other for
years, 10th to part, &c, in short, he pro-
posed, and is accepted insists ON marriage
being celebrated next morning. Married
they were, and as the carriage took them
from the church they enjoyed the following
dialogue.
"Well, Molly-two happy events in one
day. You have married, trust, good
husband. You have something else-but
first let me ask you where have you locked
up your lottery ticket?"
She, thinking that her master was only
bantering her upon the old point, cried
"Don't We say no more about it.

should hear the end ont, so sold it to the
baker of our village for guinea profit; SO

Cure fOn. Hydn'OphObia.

Some time ago, Mr.. James Garth Mar
shall, of Leeds, published cure, or, rather,
preventive of hydrophObia, which may,
perhaps, be usefully repeated at the present
moment. Mr.. Marshall, having seen in
print French method of treatment of the
disease, wrote to his family physician in
London, one of the most eminent members
of the faculty, to inquire whether it was to
be relied upon, and he received q reply, the
main portion of which we subjoin: "About
twenty years ago | was gent to see the
present Lord L, then fine healthy lad,
who, it was said, had been licked, not only
over the lips, but within the mouth, by
little terrier, which was found sitting on
the sleeping lads chest, and dipping his
tongue into his masters mouth. Mr.. Youatt,
the veterinary surgeon, at once pronounced
the dog as laboring under hydrophobia, and
turning to me, said, If you will come to
me in five days, at our dog hospital, we can
dissect the animal did so, and found
the dog dead and Youatt busy in opening
the carcass. I naturally was sly in touch
ing the animal, and asked if he was not
afraid NO. he answered; Il have re-
peatedly been bitten He, think, owned
to at least eight, and, l believe ten, I'M
doubted introductions of the virus; and be
III remembered tnaJ tne aJLacKS OF DlteS were
all on the hands of these men, so it could
not be wiped off by an intervening garment.
Youatt then told me that his remedy was to
allow the common nitrate of silver, easily
procurable, to filter into the wound it de-
composes the saliva, and in doing this de-
stroys the virus The above was stated in
some blue book about thirty years ago by
Youatt. Brodie and | acted on it, and made
young Lord LIS lips, palate and throat
as black as that of his thoroughbred mad
terrier; and he, if you ever see him, will
tell you this tale. The poison of hydropho-
bia remains latent on an average of six
weeks the part heals over, but there is
simple wound more or less irritable it then
becomes painful, and the germ, whatever it
is, becomes ripe for dissemination into the
system, and then ali hope is gone. Never
theless, between the time of the bite and
the activity of the wound previous 20 dis
semination, the caustic Of nitrate CT silver
is sure preventive; after that it is as use
less as all other means. The best mode Of
application of nitrate of silver is by intro
ducing it into the wounds. 1t melts in an
equal quantity of water. IF already healed,
the ccatrix should be rubbed and causti-
Gated away entirely. "-Leeds Times.
