How Seymour was Crowned.

The New York politicians, with Seymour
at their head, and the Western Democracy,
led by Pendleton, acted much III New York
that is analogous to Caesar and Antony, on
" the parties are reversed. Antony offered
the crown to Caesar. New York offered the
nomination 10 Seymour Caesar refused
the crown, and Seymour declined the use
of his name before the convention. Brutus
asks Casca, What hath CHANGED to-day
that Caesar looks SO sad r
Cdscd-Why, there was a crown offered
him; and being offered he put 1t by with the
back of his hand, thus: and he people fell a

Brqalls-They shouted thrice; what was the
last cry for?
Casca-Why, for that, too.

Cdsca-Ay, marry, vast, and he put 1t by
thrice, every time gentler than the other;
and at every. putting by mine honest neigh

Cassias-Who offered him the crown?
Cdscd-Why, Antony.
Brlaus-Tell US the manner OF it, gentle

but to my thinking, he was very 10th to lay
his fingers off it. And then he offered it the
third time; he put it the third time by; and
still, as he refused it, the rabblement hooted
and clapped their chapped hands and threw
up their sYeaty night-caps and uttered such
deal of sinking breath because Caesar re-

CURES FOR HYDRoPHoBIA. We cut fom
our exchanges the following remedies for
hydrophobia, which may be worth bearing
in mind at the present time:
One remedy is as follows: Horse radish
grated and mixed with little vinegar and
sweet OIL to form paste. Eat of this all
that can be swallowed and kept on the
stomach. Apply a poultice of the same to
the wound. Repeat the eating and renew
the poultice as often as necessary, to keep
up the stimulating effect of the horse rad
ish until the spasns are relieved and the
patient cured.
Another is: Take immediately warm
vinegar or tepid water, wash the wound
Herewith, and then dry it; then pour upon
the wound few drops of hydrochloric
acid, because mineral acids destroy the
poison Of saliva, b. which means the latter
is neutralized.
