How TO TREAT THE BITE OF A MAD
DoG.-Dr. Stephen Ware, of Boston,
in his testimony in a recent case which
grew ont of the injuries FROM the bite
of dog, furnished the following valu-
able advice:
fIn the case Of the bite of dog,
where the teeth of the animal penetra-
ted the flesh, whether the dog was
known to be mad or not, he should use
the same precautions. lie would wash
the wound with warm water, extract
all the virus possible by sucking the
wound with his lips, and then cauter-
ize it deeply with the caustic most
readily obtained, but should use pot
ash il II could be procured ut once
The time in which the effects of the
bite of mad dog would be seen varied
from two to three days to as mary
years, but if no effects werc felt after
two or three months, as a general thing
the patient might consider himself safe,
Bites made through clothing are sell
dom productive of much harm, as even
if the dog is mad the clothing absorbs
the virus before the teeth touches the
flesh. Most of all the fatal cases are
where the person was bitten on some
naked spot"

When God with all creative power,
The earth had formed, the Heavens OUT
spread,
Had reared each tree, decked every flower,
And last made man creations head;
He called each charm from Heaven and

And ningiingly all, give woman birth.
The tree must fall. the flower decay,
TIE rose and lily droOp and die,
But thou, though youth must pass away.
Shall still in mind with angels vie
In beauty's ruin sweetly blend
The smiles of mother, wife and friend.

A REBEL ANEcDoTE.--Ih the work by
John Esteu Cooke, entitled wearing of
the Gray" the following anecdote occurs,
which may, perhaps, be appreciated under
the present circumstances
In 1861 the enemy caught an old coun-
tryman near Madison Court House, and
informed him that he must do one of two
things-either take the oath OF allegiance
to the United States Government or pre-
pare to be buried alive. He declined tax
ing the oath, when lis captors deliberately
proceeded in his presence to dig or We
and when it was finished they led him te
it and said
"Will you take the oath p

IF you don't take the oath you will b

him, and then turning round, with his hand
in his pockets, calmly replied:

he arose and attempted washing himself.
The sight of water threw him into par
oxysms. Medical aid was summoned, but
the malady increased during the day, and
at night he foamed at the mouth, snapped
at members Of his family, and was seized
with commissions. Every few minutes he
realized, dtring his lucid intervals. his sit.

THE Power OF LEGISLATURES TO COMMIT
REFRACTORY WITNEssEs.-T power of
Legislatures to commit refractory witness
ses is subject coming up for decision be-
fore Tho Senate of Massachusetts. Mr..
Thos. Drew, formerly editor of the Wor-
cestor Spy, has been arrested by the Ser
geant-at Arms for refusing to answer the
question of a committee appointed to in.
vestigate the influence alleged to be exer-
cised by the railroad and other corporations
of Massachusetts, to obtain the passage oil
laws. The witnesses claims that he can
not be lawfully made to answer questions
respecting his private business where 10
specific charges have been preferred against
any particular person, and that the Legis
lature has no power to resolve itself into
an inquisitorial body to ascertain whether
evidence can be obtained of charges which
do not furnish basis Of civil or criminal
proceedings in courts. 1t is stated that
only one precedent Of the imprisonment o.
a refractory witness is to be found in the
history of the Massachusetts Legislature

WAnN1xe.-.State Of lie ccuntry, moral
IN, politically and socially.-The New
York Round Table collates fearful pic
ture of the present state of the country,
morally, politically and social, in leader
on "Names and Things" which says:
Compare prevalent dogmas with existing
facts for moment, and see hoa this asser-
ton is verified. The popular theory is
that this is a government Of the many for
the many; but for the sake of enrcbing a
very few the entire community is taxed to
burdensome, indeed. to an affecting de-
gree An extravasent protective tariff is
ia operation. which while, it encourages
special fraud, builds up large fortunes for a
minute fraction and impoverishes the great
majority Of the community. The ndmer-
Gus projects for taxing the public in the
interest OF corporation-and We are only in
this respect at the beginning ola series
that is certain, if unarrested, to become
gigantic in number and extent--are direct
couspiracies against the many, conceived
and carried ont for the benefit of the few.
In the ..rotton and effete" old countries OF
Europe these things are not permitted, and
it is safe to say that neither in England
nor France would the people endure them.
Being unsupposed by the ultra Democratic
dogmas that console us here, they would
take a highly practical view of things, and
each man, instead of comforting himself by
the continual assertion that he was as good
as every Other man, would insist that, let
the assaiants of his pocket be who or whst
they might, he would not be chuated by
| them.
| It concludes: "Those who value the
name of liberty or republicanism more
! than the real benefits they are supposed
to confer, are pretty sure to object to these
observations and the caution they arr
intended to convey, bit those who agret
| with us III thinking that human happiness
| is of more value than sOt1nting words,
that comfort, security, low prices, higl
| wages, and an honest Judiciary, ate o

boleths of spurious democracy, will no
! think such words of warming either tot

the United States do not wish to see thei
country raled by a. dictator OF IN emrero

title invented for the occasion, such warn
ings and the precautions they suggest ar
not supertuone; and nothing is more Gel

should be inverted for our Temporal
| benefit and ultimate destruction, than tina
