The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-05-11


from Bucharest, giving an account of the present
state OF things In Roumania The correspondent
says that the Roumanians seem to be already tired
OF their new Prince, and that his unpopularity is
being constantly shown by various political demon
strations. One OF the most significant OF these
was the late election OF Prince CouZa as member
of the Ronmanian Parliament. The Prince has many
supporters, especially in the army and among the
country population; and although he has given evil
dence OF political wisdom in declining to take his
seat there Is no doubt that public opinion is
gradually becoming favorable to his restoration to
the Roumanian throne. The Couza party, who pro-
fess to act In connection with NJ. Rochefort In
France and the Mazzinists in Italy, lay much stress
on the advantage OF having native Roumanian
Prince the throne, urging that he would be much
more amenabe to public opinion than the present
Hohenzollsrn sovereign, who, they say, has no
sympathy with the Roumanans and could easily be
persuaded to abdicate. The power of this party
strikingly shown ON the occasion of the debaie on
Prince Charles civil list, when their proposal TO re-
fuse any increase to the Princes income was car
ried by acclamation. The civil list at present
amounts to 100 600 ducsts e5O 0eO, which is higher
than that Of the King OF Bavaria. In 1866 Prince
Charles volunteered TO give up 00e ducats OF his
income to relieve the public treasury and In 1867 he
subscribed 1z00e ducas for the relief OF the suffer-
ers from the famine in Moldavia, and 5000 more
for the rebuilding OF the Jewish synagogue at
Bucharest. The persecution of the Jews, adds the
correspondent does not proceed from any religious
motive, but simply from the fact that all the COM
merce Of the country, and consequently much Of its
wealth, is In Jewish hands. There are two classes
OF Jews in Roumania-the native Jews and the
Jewish immigrants The latter chiefly proceed
from Gslicis, Bukovne, and Bessaraba. They are
somewhat better educated than the Roumanian pea
SAINTS, and are far more enterprsing: they cOnse-
quenty get on much better than the peasants, and
these, jeaous OF the superior wealth OF the Jews,
take every opportunity OF attacking them. The i'm
migrant Jews, concludes the correspondent are
naturally more exposed to this sort OF persecution
than the native Jews, who, however equally de-
tested for the same reason. Even in the towns the
Roumanian naturally extravagant and idle, finds it
impossible to compete with the jew and accord
ngly does his utmost to drive him from the country
AT A RECENT sitting OF the Academy OF Sciences
in Paris, NJ. Bouley, one OF its members, read
PAPER on the number of deaths caused by the bites of
mad animals. According to M. Bouley, who ad-
mtted, however, that the statistics from the diff
! ferent departments were not so complete as might
be wished there were, from 1868 TO 1868 inclusive,
s2O persons bitten France; OF these $780, l2s died.
I. e., there was a mortality OF 40 per cent. or the
| 800 persons bitten 3S per cent. escaped without
any further effects. The remaining 12 per cent
failed to report the consequences OF their
being bitten; probably they also escaped un-
harmed. Much fewer women than men were
bitten, tact which NJ. Bouley does not hesitate
TO ascribe to their petticoats and crnoline. OF
the bites by animals afiicted by rabies, 2s4
were by male dogs, ana only 26 by females; by
cats, and by wolves M. Bouley's report shows
that as 1t has long been asserted by men OF science,
the idea that canine madness is more prevalent in
summer than in winter is mere Vulgar error. In
the spring of the different years over which his
searches had extended, there were 80 cases re-
ported; in the summer, IA; in the autumn 81; aud
in the winter IA cases. The period OF incubation
was generally about two months; after that time
