A CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-W
find the following going the rounds Of
our exchanges, and give it for what it
is worth:
The effects resulting from the bite of
a rabid animal are SO inconceivably
heart-rending that the writer deems it
but an act of justice to make the SUBJ
joined remedy public, for the benefit of
the unfortunate hereafter. Within the
past two weeks there have been two
cases of hydrophobia, of the most dis
tressing character-one in this city and
one in New Jersy-and daily reports
are made in the newspapers of mad
dogs being seen in and about the city.
Every individual in the community,
therefore, should procure and preserve
a copy of the following cure, to use in
case of an emergency.
William Hoffner, Esq, of Passyunk,
the gentleman from whom the writer
obtained this invaluable receipt, states
that he has known several instances of
men and animals who have been bitten
in the severest manner by mad dogs,
but who having taken this remedy,
never experienced any effect whatever
| of the disease:
"Take of the root Of elecampane one
ounce and half, cut it fine, then boil it
in one pint of new milk down to half
pint; take this three mornings fasting,
and eat no food until four o'clock in
the afternoon. 1t should be taken ev-
cry other morning; the last two doses
must weigh two ounces each. This
remedy will have the desired effect if
taken at any time within twenty four
hours after the accident"
The press generally, by giving the
above receipta conspicuous insertion,
will advance the cause of humanity.

YANKEE DOODLE AN OLD SPANISH
TUNE.-There have been great many
asserted origins of Yankee Doodle.
The following is the last, related in a
letter from Spain by VIM. C. Byrant,
the poet:
"tSome time since, when Mr.. Perry,
Secretary of the American Legation at
Madrid, was in one of the Basque prov
inces, he heard band playing their
old national airs. The Basque have
preserved whatever ispeculiar to them,
their language, their customs, and
many of their political rights, from the
earliest periodin which they are known
to history; their national music is claim
ed to be of the same antiquity. After
the band had played several airs it
struck up Yankee Doodle, the very
tune, in every note, which is so iamil-
lar to American ears. Mr.. Perry i'm
mediately claimed it as our national
air. 1T is one of our old tunes,' said a
gentleman to whom he spoke, and L
can convince you of the fact For
hundreds of years it has beenapopular
air among us. The gentleman after
ward made good his assertion by show
ing Mr.. Perry manuscript of great
antiquity which contained theidentical
musical notes of Yankee Doodle"

THE London correspondent of the
Boston Journal, in noticing the upris-
ing of the Fenians in Ireland, OBJ
serves:
"What seems strange to an American
is the fact that of the men found on
British soil not one was arrested, but
all were allowed to depart in peace and
go their several ways, though the fact
that they were Fenians was well known.
This fact brings out one peculiar ele-
ment in the English character, and that
is the sacredness of personal liberty.
Suspicion will not answer. A man
must do some wrong to be arrested. A
well-known thief or pickpocket going
into a crowded assembly may not be
hindered in his going in, though his
intentions may be well known. The
Fenians at Chester simply gathered in
a crowd, and Ioitered round the city
and attempted no violence. Though
Parliament was moved, London all in
a ferment, the Queens Guards, that
seldom leave London, posted by ex-
press to the scene of invasion, though
the train bands were called out, men
enrolled as private constables, and Liv-
erpool sent her forces to the place of at
tack, yet none were arrested; the inva-
ders looked on, saw the Guards disem-
L,r bnar rI tho al of fhn Castle
and then quietly stroiled away into the
country and were seen no more. after
all this stproar British subject could
not be arrested aoaLeSs he had committed
some Urong uct. Even in Ireland, Fe-
mans are allowed to depart if they will,
and their passage would be gladly paid
if they would go to America.
This does 'seem strange to an Amer
ican;" but is it not sad commentary
upon republicanism that such is the
case? How many men have been ar
rested here on suspicion within the past
six years is known only to Secretary
STANTON and his subordinates; and to
such an extent has this disregard for
personal liberty permeated national,
state, and local governments, that, but
short time ago, the police of this city
were ordered to arrest any person, on
the public conveyances, whom they
had reason to believe was thief. Yet
this is "the land of the free and the
home of the brave" while Great Brit
ain is a monarchy World.

RADICAL CHANGE IN THE GOVERN
MENT OF THE UNITED STATEs.-The
Times thus announces that adespOtism
has replaced the Constitution and the
Government of the United States:
eve do not wonder that they deem
the terms (OfreconstructiOn) required
harsh and illiberal. We agree in so re-
garding them unjust and ineXpedient-
at war with the Constitution and hos
tile to the dictates of wise and cOnsid-
crate craftsmanship. But how does
this help their case? Suppose theterms
imposed are unconstitutional, how does
the South expect to avert their imposl-
ton? Has it not discovered that, Wher-
ever the right may be, the power OF
this Government rests with Congress
That body Over-rules alike the VetOes
of the President and the decisions OF
the Supreme Court; and in neither case
is there any authority that can overrule
its authority or avert its action"
What is this butan acknowledgment
that the people have surrendered their
rights and their freedom to politicians
without struggle, and that hereafter
they are at the mercy of any political
party that secures a majority in Cong.
ress? All the limitations to the exer'
else of power contained in the Constitu'
ton, the opposition of the President
and the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States, having been SET
aside and overriden by Congress. Thus
has our vaunted form of Government
been revoIutionised by war,-M K

MEASURING DISTANCE BY SOUND
A bell rung under water returns tone
as distinct as though rung in the air.

A bell rung under water returns tone
as distinct as though rung in the air.
Stop one ear with the finger, and
press the other to the end ofa long stick
or piece of dead wood; and if watch
be held at the other end of the wood,
ticking will be heard, whatever the
length of the stick of wood.
Tie poker on the middle of a strip
of flannel two or three feet long, and
press your thumbs or fingers into your
ears while you swing the pokeragainst
an iron fender, and you will hear n
sound like that of a heavy church bell.
These experimt nts prove that water,
wood, and flannel are good conductors
of sound, for the sound of the bell, the
watch, and the fender pass through the
water, and along the deal and flannel
to the ear.
1t must be observed that body in
the act of sounding is in state of vi
bration, which it communicates to the
surrounding air, the undulations of the
sound affect the ear, and excite i'm us
the sense of sound. Sounds Ofall kinds,
it is ascertained, travels at the rate of
fifteen miles in minute; the softest
whisper travels as fast as the most tre-
mendous thunder. The knowledge of
this fact has been applied to the meas
urement of distance.
Suppose ship in distress fires gun,
the light of which is seen on shore, or
by another vessel, twenty seconds be-
fore the report is heard, it is known to
be at distance of 1900 yards, or little
more than four and quarter miles.
Again, if we see vivid flash of light
ming, and in two seconds hear tre-
mcndous clap Of thunder, we know
that the thunder cloud is not more than
76O yards from the place where we are,
and we should instantly retire from
an exposed situation. n.-Scientjfc Amaeri-

THE NEW RADICAL ALLIEs.-1t is
not enough for our Radical rulers that
hundreds of thousands of ignorant ne
groes in the South are made voters; but
in order that these miserable creatures
may more surely become mere instru-
ments in the hands of Northern adven-
turers, the mode of voting commonly
used in the South is to be changed. If
one of these new voters was permitted
to name to the eelection officers hisfavor-
ite candidates, he would at least know
for whom he had voted; but Congress
don't allow any such freedom the men
who are fed, clothed, and guided by the
Freedman's Bureau are to be provided
with printed ballots which not one OF
them can read, and under the eye of the
Government officers thee are to be de-
posted. What wicked farce is ali this
first clothe with the very highest trust
whole race of slaves, too ignorant to
make bargain of fhiring, and unable to
take care of their earnings unless assist
ed by public officials-and then enact
that they shall use the printed ballot,
which their guardians can read, but
which they cannot. Can any fair mind
ed citizen doubt that the whole arrange
ment is for the mere purpose ofstrength-
ening the Radical party and keeping in
office the knaves who are wasting the
public money on useless extravaganza,
while the land is full of tax-gatherers.
