HTpRoPHoBIA. - An exchange paper
says: Now that the cheated term is near
at hand, and an occasional mad dog may be
expected, the following cure for hydropho-
ba will be apropros. Spirits of hartshorn
isa certain remedy for the bite of mad
dog. The wound should be bathed cor
s'antly with it, and three or four doses, di-
luted, taken inwardly during the day. The
hartshorn decomposes chemically the virus
lnsiuaated into the wound, and Immediately
s!ters and destroys its deleteriousness.

IHE CANADA THISTLE some sections
oi the country this pest has become so
formidable that several of the State Legis-
atures have lately enacted laws to facilitate
Us destruction and eradication. In our own
legislature, 1t will be remembered, some
nve years ago, there was similar law pass
70 against this the vilest of all encumbran-
1s 1eS OF farm-mortgages scarcely excepted.
MS law provides, in effect, that:
~ Hereafter any individual or corporation
tt!:cWlng the Canada Thistle to ripen seed on
S SIa or their premises, shall be liable to
ane OF ten dollars upon each complaint that
: properly established and any one who
uay lear the spread of the Canada Thistle
3 apon his premises from the lands of his
sSaleieSs or thriftless neighDor, may, after
- oays notice. enter upon any lands where
~. .ne weed Is found growing, cut it, and re-
,eF ", iuli costs for the labor and trouble. y
MS Is to the point, and in order that far
-lefs may know it, the newspapers through
vu' =, the State should republish the law or
''''s article. If the people of Pennsylvania
''ula see to what formidable extent this
pest has taken possession of several of the

Mr. Cragin made an adverse report on
the resolution, directing the Sergeant.at-

The vote was taken on the resolution
and it was disagreed to.

From the London Times, March 2p.l
Congress and the Fenian Move
nnant

A certain spirit Of hostility to England
has been lately manifested by the House
Of Representatives. The loyalty Of Cana
do has always been somewhat displeasing
to its Republican neighbors, and the inju.
dicious proposal, never seriously enter
tanned, OF giving the title Of Kingdom" to
the new confederation was sure to give
offence in the United States.
The House Of Representatives reflects,
but too faithfully, every passing impulse
Of popular vexation which electioneering
agents can utilize. 1t appears that, on re-
ceipt Of intelligence Of Fenian outbreak
in Ireland, Mr.. Fernando Wood hastened
to propose vote Of sympathy with the in.
surgents "in their pending struggle for
constitutional liberty" The resolution
went on to declare that al if the despotic
Governments Of Europe shall be allowed
to establish Governments in America, so
should the United States foster and pro.
mote the extension of republican institu.
tions in Europe" This foolish proposition
was referred, at the suggestion Of General
Banks, to the Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs; but we regret to hear that votes ex-
pressive Of sympathy with the people in
Ireland and Canada in their struggle for
nationality" have since passed the House.
Such incidents as these might suggest
grave misgivings as to the future relations
Of the two countries, if they represented
the deliberate convictions Of majority in
the Congress. But no one acquainted
with American institutions would fall into
this mistake. II such resolution had
been carried by our own House Of Com
mons, or even by the American Senate,
considerable significance must have been
attached to it. In the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the contrary, it probably
means little or nothing beyond bid for
the Irish vote" the competition for
which is, perhaps, the most degrading in
auence in American politics. But this is
not all. Nothing can be more unjust than
to estimate either political opinion or po-
litical morality in America by the public
acts Of its politicians.
| The error is almost inevitable, because
1t is they, and they alone, who come under
the notice Of the ordinary English reader;
bpt that it is an error is attested by the
experience Of oil who have visited the
United States. In America II is the peo-
pie that are great, and the greatness Of the
people seems to dwarf the character OF
the political leaders.
Happily, il the war has proved anything,
it has proved that American policy is die.
tated, in the last resort, by the people it.
SELF There never can be serious rupture
between the United States and the Old
Country unless it be the will of the Amer.
lean people, and the good understanding
between the American people and the Eng
lish people lies deeper than mere politi.
clans are aware.

admired play, "Don Cesar de Bazan." II

it to perfection to good and full house.
Such house ought TO rcplenish her ex-
