Whether this result has been oc-
casioned by the inordinate storm of
temperance petitions pouring in from
nearly all parts of the State, or by
gentlemanly habits and sense of pro-
priety on the part of the members, it
is not easy to determine, nor is the
question of material Importance, since
in either case the fact remains un-
changed that this Legislature has not,
like many of its predecessors, out

The following particulars of fatal
case of Hydrophobia, for which your
correspondent is indebted to the
obliging local of the Daily Herald,
will be interesting to your readers:
"PoPE.-About two weeks since, as
Mr.. ALEXANDER Pope was walking
along Virginia Avenue, he was at
tackled by strange dog, which fero-
ciously sprang upon him, without any
provocation or warning, and continued
biting until it had terribly mangled
both of his hands. Mr.. PORE fought
the dog for some time with his hands
and feet, and then taking out
his pocket knife, opened it
with his teeth, and stabbed the brute
until it was dead. The animal held
on to his right hand until it was
weakened by loss of blood, and then
dropped off and died. Mr.. Pores
wounds were cauterized and soon
healed. He experienced some anxiety
at the time, through dread of hydro
phobia, but SO long time having
elapsed the circumstance had almost
passed from his mind. Last Wednes-
day night, however, he complained of
feeling strangely, and passed a restless
and feverish night. In the morning
he did not get up, but sent out for a
bottle of ale. The ale was brought,
and he drank about half a glass, but
did not seem to relish it. In about an
hour he attempted to drink some
more, but the moment the glass touch
ed his lips he was seized with slight
shuddering spasm, and an uncon-
querable dread Of liquids. From that
time up to a few hours before his
death, no liquid passed his lips. He
complained of construction about the
chest. difficulty of breathing. sharp
pain in one of his shoulders, and a
great thirst. Several physicians were
called in consultation, who admins
tered opiates and other medicines, but
could not prevail upon the sufferer to
drink water or liquids of any
kind. He would attempt it, |
but the moment, glass or
spoon containing liquid approached
his lips, he would be seized with
spasm, and would gasp as if he had |
lost his breath, One of his attend
ants fixed hollow reed and got the |
patient to take it between his teeth,
telling him he would place the other
end in a cup of water out of sight,
and he could then suck it up. The
moment, however, the other end of
the reed was placed in the water, Mr..
Pope was seized with spasm. He
fingered until ten o'clock Saturday
night, and then died, having been
all the time, and without any
violent spasms.

FAITH AND TRUST. One of the children's
papers illustrates faith and trust as follows
There was once poor man who wanted
to build house upon some little land which
he owned, who went to a rich neighbor who
lent him $500 to put up the building He
was to pay back $50 each year until the
whole was paid. 1t so happened that pretty
soon after he had paid $3.50, the man died,
leaving widow and little Willy his son.
So the widow had, as she thought, a house
OF her own, with but $50 more to pay on it.
This she was striving and expecting to do,
although the dollars came in very slow.
Before the next payment became due, the
man who lent the money to her husband,
died, also. When his son came to look over
his fathers accounts, he found this charge
OF $500, and finding no credit for any money
paid, called and asked for it, In vain she
told him that all but $50 was paid of the
sum. She could show no receipts, nor bring
any one who could prove anything had been
paid. This being the state of the case, he
said he must sell the house.
This was sad news to the widow. The
little boy, seeing his mothers distress, asked
her, Ma, have you told Jesus about it p
On answering him that she had not, he said,
: will tell him. and going into corner of
the room, he knelt down and prayed with
his mother thus, oh, dear Jesus, don't let
that man take away our house. or please
give us one that We can live in &c. &c.
Not long after this a lghtning-bug flew
into the room. The child tried to catch it.
but the insect got behind a bureau This
the child asked his mother to move, so that
he could get the lightning bug; on doing
which, something fell down on the floor,
which, the child picked up, which, to the
joy and surprise of the mother was her hus-
bands receipt-book, with receipts for $3.50
paid for the house The young landlord,
ON hearing the whole of the circumstances,
was so touched that he gave the widow a
receipt in full-a gilt she would not have re-
ceived but for little WHY'S faith in telling
Jesus.

WHOLESOME MEAL BREAD.-Iti is well known
to chemists and Psychologists that the
very finely-bolted and white -four which
is SO much sought after, is far less nutri-
tious than what is termed middlings or
unbolted flour. The most nutritious in
gradients of the grain-the wheat phos-
pilates and glutin-are removed to obtain
the desired whiteness. Dr. Henry McCor-
mac, an eminent physician of Belfast, Ire

subject, says:

preparation of wholesome meal pread-bread

Rooth,s Burial Place.

The following passage from General L. G.
Bakers history of the Secret Service Depart
ment sets at rest the dispute as to the final
disposition of Booths body:
In order to establish the identity of the
body of the assassin beyond all question, the
Secretary of War directed me to summon
number of witnesses residing in the city of
Washington who had previously known the
murderer. Some two years previous to the
assassination of the President, Booth had had
tumor or carbuncle cut from his neck by
surgeon. On inquiry, ascertained that DR..
May, well-known and very skillful surgeon
of twenty five years practice in Washington,
had performed the operation.
Accordingly, l called on DR.. May who,
before seeing the body, infinitely described
the exact locality of the tumor, the nature
and date of the operation, &c. After being
sworn he pointed to the scar in the neck,
which was then plainly visible. Five other
witnesses were examined, all of whom had
known the assassin intimately for years.
The various newspaper accounts referring to
the mutilation of Booths body, are equally
absurd. General Barnes, Surgeon General
United States army, was on board the gun
boat where post m0rtem examination was
held, with his assistants. General Barnes
cut from Booths neck about two inches of
the spinal column through which the ball
had passed. This piece of borne, which is
now on exhibition in the Government Medi-
cal Museum in Washington, is the only relic
of the assassin's body above ground, and
this is the only mutilation of the remains
that ever occurred. Immediately after the
conclusion of the examination the Secretary
of War gave orders as to the disposition of
the body, which had become very offensive,
owing to The condition in which it had re-
manned after death. The leg, broken in
jumping from the box to the stage, was much
discolored and swollen, the blood from the
wound having saturated his under clothing.
With the assistance of Lieutenant L. B.
Baker took the body from the gunboat
direct to the old penitentiary, adjoining the
old arsenal grounds. This building had not
been used prison for some years previ-
ously. The Ordnance Department had filled
the ground floor cells with fixed ammunition.
One of the largest of these cells was selected
as the burial-place of Booth. The ammu-
milton was removed, a large fiat stone lifted
from its place and rude grave dug; the
body was dropped in, the stone replaced,
and there rests to this hour all that remains
of John Wilkes Booth.
