THE PIONEER VETERANS.

Next to the soldiers of the Revolution, those
of the war with Great Britain in 1Sl2-13, attract
large share of popular attention. AS each o
these old heroes pass to the grave il seems like
the remoral Of an ancient landmarks whose re-
cordis precious to the memory. NOt onty are
those old men fiding from'the sight, but also the
scenes. .of their conflict are losing their past fa-
miliar aspects. The sword has been superseded
by fhe ploughshare, the thunder of the cannon
has merged into the shrill scream Of the steam.
whistle, and sanguinary strife on the battlefield
has given way to the peaceful enterprises q
commerce and agriculture, with their unequalled
scientific developments. Such is the programme
of American civilization.
An unusual interest has arisen on those mat
tiers, from the fact that some of the noble old
veterans from Kentucky notified US of their IN
tentons of visiting, on the 24th inst the historic
locality of Fort Maigs, the theater of their form
er warike exploits.
In order to accord them fitting reception a
meeting of the citizens of Perrysburg was held
in Baders Hall on Saturday evening last for the
adoption of definite programme, his Honor, the
Mayor, presiding.
The object OF the meeting having been stated

SHOULD DOGS BE MUZzLRD,

At q recent sitting of the Academy
Of Sciences in Paris, NJ. Bouley, one of
its members, read paper on the num-
Der of deaths caused by the bites of
mad animals According to NJ.
Bouley, who admitted, however, that
the statistics from the different depart
ments were not so complete as might
/ be wished, there were from 1852 to
1868 inclusive, 800 persons bitten IN
France; of these 800, l29 died, 4. E..
there was a mortality of forty per cent.
escaped without furt her effects. The
remaining twelve per. cent. failed to
report the consequences of their being
bitten probably they also escaped
unframed. Much fewer women than
men were bitten. a fact which Nj.
Bouley does not hesitate to ascribe to
their petticoats and crinoline. OF the
bites by animals afflicted with rabies,
284 were caused by dogs, and only
twenty-six by bitches FIVE by cats and
five by wolves. NJ. Bouley's report
shows, as has long been asserted by
men of science, the idea that. canine
madness is moIe prevalent in summer
than in winter, is mere vul gar error.
In the spring Of the different years
over which his researches have exten.
ded, there were eighty-nine cases re-
ported IN the summer, seventy four !;
in autumn, sixty four; and in winter,
seventy four cases. The period of the
incubation was generally about two
months; after that time has elapsed
any one who has been bitten is justified
in considering himself out of danger.
When madness supervenes it is gener :
ally fatal on tue third day. Bites in
the face would seem to be most danger
Gus; out Of thirty-two persons-bitten
in the face twenty nine died-three
only escaping.
AS to the remedies to be adopted,
H. Bouley did not hesitate to affirm
that the hot iron was the on y one on
which any reliance could be placed
Out of 1874 wounds which were eau
terized, there were only forty, two fatal
cases; while of sixty-six wounded
persons who neglected casterization, no
less than fifty six died, only ten escap-
ing Other remedies should only be
used when the hot iron connot be i'm
mediately applied, but they should be
regarded as maaeshift. Marshal
Valiant made some interesting re-
marks with regard 20 the use of the muz
zle, and related the following anecdore !:
cat Dion, said Marshal Valiant"
the Mayor, NJ. Vernier, who is now
member of the conseal u Fiat, was SO
persuaded that the muzzle only pre-
disposed dogs to madness, that he for
babe its use. Mo- cases of madness
appeared when the use of the muzzle
was not enforced. His successor had
the rule as to- the wearing cf the
muzzle reinforced, aud cases of mad.
ness were immediately reported. In
Constantinople( continued the MARSHALL
the muzz G is never used, and they 10
not know what,madness among dogs is.
In Prussia the less the mazzie is used,
the less madness is there" Baron
Larrey, agrees with his colleague in
denouncing the use of the muzzle.
L. Bouley promised to give some more
information shortly on this subject.

q HUGE SWINDLE

The most singular case of swindling
aud deception that has ever come under
our notice has just come to the atten-
tion of the police of this city. We
did not suppose that any portion of
Milwaukee contained people who could
thus be duped, nevertheless it does
contain such people, and they have
been made the victims, while the sue
cessful confidence woman has gone of
with over 81 900 in money.
Some days ago, an apparently
intelligent German woman came to the
city and stopped in the Ninth Ward.
Studying carefully the ground and Sc
lecting houses where it was known that
some money had been saved. the woman
would 60 to the house ia the absence
of the husband and made the acqua-
intance of the wife. She would work
into her confidence and then tell her
that she, the confidence woman, was in
communication with spirits, and that
they had divulged the fact to her that
sums all the way from one to ten
million dollars were buried on the lot.
In each case she agreed to aid the
parties in securing this money and the
same programme was necessary, to
bury from $50 to 500 on the lot, shat
the larger quantity might be found.
Confidence felt SO certain OF the result
that she would furnish one-half the
money 1t seems singular that such u
story should be believed even by the
most ignorant, but it was, and in Il
number of instances the women went
t. the hiding place of the family
money and taking out the amount re-
CURED gave it to the stranger, who,
with an equal amount of her own,
buried it. 1t was, in every case, a
part Of the compact that the hitter
must be kept secret, and not even
the husband or any person could be
told of it. IN one case where $500
was paid over the charm did not work,
and $500 more vas added. taking the
hard earned Savings Of the family for
years. It is now known that over g.
900 was raised by this woman, all from
poor families. When the bubble
burst aud the frightened and sold par
ties went to look for their money it
was gone Of course-was dug up at
night and carried away by the woman,
who has left the city.
The husbands of the women who
had thus given away their money are
in great circulation, and the poor vic
tins are overwhelmed with grief at
their folly.-IKii,caukee Wisconsin Ist.

ON ADVICE.

Advice, like physic, is better to
give than to take.
Everybody has got a stock of it on
hand ready to administer it at the
slightest provocation.
If you want to- sound the depths of
human generosity, just ask somebody
for advice
You will get any. quantity of it for
the asking
And you sometimes get good deal
without asking.
On the other band, it is difficult to
get anybody to take advice.
There are two kinds of advice, pIac-
tical advice and impracticable advice.
For instance, when in a father ly
manner l advise Themistocles
"My son, don't climb over that
fence, because if you tear your trowsers
again, your mother will wallop yon
sure
. Here is something practical a
warning is conveyed of consequences
not to be contemplated by youthful
mind without dismay.
But when young man informs an
experienced relative that he is going
to get married, and the experienced
relative says don't" it isimpracticabIe
advice.
Because when a young man has
gone so far he can't retreat.
There is reasonable advise and un-
reasonable advice.
What is the use Of advising a man
to keep cool when the thermometer is
at 95? =
Or to get rich ?
Which is just what he would like to
do, without being told.
Some people seem to be born with
the gift of advice.
The fact that nobody ever takes it
don't deter them from giving advice !;
it is a species of generosity of which
they never tire.

IRISH LAND BILL. The irish Land
Bill which recently passed the House
Of Commons is not so great a measure
Of reform as its import implies. and
only goes to show how very difficult it
Is for the British Parliament to do any

merely gives the tenant if the landlord
chooses to eject him, right to com
pensstion for any improvements he may
have made within the proceeding TWEEN
~ years to purchase the land at an ap-
praised value, and to enable the tenant to
make tie purchase the government lends
him two-thirds Of the money out of the
