Death of a Man Bitten by q Dog

Death of a Man Bitten by q Dog
il DIay-The Falaoy Of the Mad
Stone.
Mr.. John Sayers, laborer in the North
Missouri Railroad car-shop, died yesterday
morning of hydrophobia. As the facts con
nect"d with the unfortunate event possess a
peculiar interest at this season of the wear. we
give II brief narration of the circumstances
conn ected with the case: Savers was q mar
ried man, 80 years of age, Of a robust and
powerful frame. and until recently in very
good health. On the 24th of May little
poodle dog belonging to him was fighting with
another dog, when he attempted to separate
them. In doing so MS own dog bit him on the
inside tieshy part Of the hand. near the thumb
Deceased felt some pain from the injury, and
went to a in St. Charles, who had what
Is known a mad stoEc,* and it was applied
twice. The second time it is said to have ad-
heTed twenty minutes. About twelve days
ago Sayers Accidentally knocked the slim off
the place on the hand where the cut hal been
and soon after felt an acute pain which ex-
tended TO the shoulder. The pain increased,
and soon after he was obliged to quit On
Monday he went to DR. Gallagher, and on
Tuesday he said the pain had left his arm
His symptoms subsequently were not altogath-
CT such as usually accompany hydTophobia.
He was not violent or wild, but exhibited a
/ ledlIV aversion 10 water. lie could not
drink It. but was able to take some wine. On
Wednesday evening a change took place in
his condition, and he said he felt he was going
to die. 4 medical gentleman saw him al 8
clock, but he thought there was no danger
then. For about an hour and a half before
his death, Savers talked in an excited and in
coherent manner. lie died yesterday morn
ing at half-past and was buried in the after
noon. lie leaves a wife and one child. The
case Is a sad one, and illustrates the horrible
danger Of a dog bite in the summer season,
and the necessity Of taking proper measures
to prevent possible results when there is any
reason to believe the dog mad 1t further
tends to show that the virtues Of the mad
stone. in which so many believe, furnish but
poor guarantee for cure, and if it helps to
explode the hulahUg and lead people to re
sort TO the only safe measures, cutting out
the part, and severe cautcrization, it will not
have been entirely barren Of fruits! St

The Rhine Frontier.

BY an inspection of the map Of Western
Europe, and the geographical relations OF
France ana Prussia, attention is at once
drawn to three principal points, viz: the posi-
ton Of the fortresses which ire between the
eastern frontier Of France and the line of the
Rhine; the route which is naturally laid open
by these fortresscs to the heart Of France,
and the routes which connect these same fort
rcsses with the great centers Of Germany.
When the Importance Of these str0ngholds is
understood, and when it is remembered that
thcy are in the possession Of Prussia, II be-
comes easy to understand Why France should
be glad Of any prcJeXt to Justify her in making
an attempt TO get control Of them. As the
famous Italian Quadriateral was to the Aus
TRANS, so is this German Quadrilateral to the
prussians. IL enables them to repel invasion
an to resist any sudden attack, while it re-
serves for them base Of operations which IS
as favorable for them as could well be con-
ccivcd or desired The great fortified points
were until 1868, Cob.cntz, Cologne. Mentz,
and Luxembourg, but in that wear the latter
was dism& ntled BIZ the Prussians very I'M
willingly. and only on the strong representa-
ton Of the other powers, which insisted on
the fulflimclt Of the treaty of Prague, one
provision of which was also the abandonment
Of the fortress Of Mcntz, or Mayence, which
has not been complied with TO this day by
Prussia. Luxembourg having been partially
dismantlcd, the Frussians have since forti-
fed Saar-Louis, Germersheim, and Landau
which, in a very short time can be placed in a
solid ~ttitudc, and which in reality form but
one place and made to take the position re-
