Attacked BY Dog,

MRolday in Springfield between the
hours of twelve and one o'clock, lit
tie girl by the name of Desinger was
attacked by bull dog on Mulberry
street, and before rescued, was torn
and mangled in a fearful manner. 1t
appears that the unfortunate girl,
who is about eight years old, in COM
pany with others of her own age, was
returning from school and whilepass
ing on Mulberry street between Cen
tire and Factory to her home on Pleas
ant street, the next street south, was
set upon by dog belonging to Wick
Bretney and kept at his residence on
that street. The animal isanearly full
sized bull dog though only about eight
months old. 1t first seized the victim
by the back of the neck and by the
frighttui scars produced must have
taken a very determined hold. A
large portion Of the skin was raised
from its position and stript down to
the left ear, where a second cash was
made. The opposite side of the head
is also marked with bruises produced
by the fall when the onset was made.
While down she was bit in both arms
the right one having received the
greatest injury, as it IS torn from
shoulder to elbow, making ngitnecessary
to sew the several portions together.
The side is also lacerated in a cores
pOnding manner; as the dog SEEM
ed to have seized the body ofthe child
in its jaws, and stubbornly maintain
ed its hold until heneighbors, brought
forth by the cries of the children, sue
eeeded in separating it and the child.

I beheld a golden portal in the visions OF my
slumber,
And through it streamed the radiance OF
never setting day;
While angels tall and beautiful, and count

Were giving gIadsome greeting 10 all who
came that way.
And the gates, forever swinging, made no

Remedy for ChIIIs and Fever.

It is notorious fact that the medi-
cal fraternity have no remedy but
quinine for chills and fever, and that
so far as the patient is concerned, it is
a matter of doubt which does the
most damage to his eonstitutIen-the
disease or the remedy. Those who
have had any experience with the
disease know that the simple rene
dies used by those living in districts
infested by ehills are more efficaciOus
than all the prescriptions Of the ply
sicians. In view of the fact that there
is such a prevalence Of the disease in
the West, we are requested by gen.
tleman residing in an adjoining
county to assure all those suffering
from the affliction that the swallow

To Be CONTINUEI
Take Drink.


The Cincinnati Times tells a story
of a green young couple from Brown
County, Ohio who were 'dOingn the
exposition, which has this ending;
At last the "gal," whose name ap-
peared to be Jerusha, intimated to
Reuben that she was suffering for a
drink of water, and he, not caring a
continental durn" for expenses start
ed in search of some place where wa
ter could be found. Observing one of
the Babcoek's Fire Extinguishers-of
which there are a number in the build
ing, charged ready in case of fire-he
broke for it, under the impression
that it was hydFaht.
"Here, Rusha," says he, "is one of
them tarnal new-fangled city notions
where we can get drink"
"Why, Reube, what is that ?'
''That Why, that's hydrant, of
course. You can't fool me on any of
your patent notions. Pm posted. I've
been to town afOre, / have"
Rusha, whose confidence in her
'feller" elicted our unqualified ad-
miratiOn, took all he said as being
gospel, bat seemed puzzled, neyerthe-
less.
"Why, Reube" says she, chow do
you drink out of this jimerack con-
cern ?i
"Just take hold o. that brass con-
cern," indicating tina nozzle, Hand put
it in your mouth, and I'll show you
trick, by ginger"
Rusha did as directed. Applying
the nozzle to the capaciOus orifice in
her frontispiece, she awaited events /;
nor did she wait long, for Reube, turn
ing the cock, Rusha uttered scream
and what with splitting, and sputter-
ing, and making wry faces, Reube
saw more sights than he ever dreamt
of. At length Russia got her mouth
cleared.
Thunder and Mars, Reube What
on earth do you call that stuff? ? Why
it's bitterer than gall"
'Oh pshaw, Rusha, you're green.
Why, that's Ohio River water. It's
not near as good as the water in your
dads well--not by a long chalk; but
it's the only kind city folks drink.
Let nae shOW yoH how TO drink it,"
So saying, Reube opened what ma
ture intended for model for a trav-
cling cellar door, and putting the nOz-
eel there gave the cock another turn
and took one swallow, when he, too,
cavorted and tore around as though
a hornet had mistaken his mouth for
its nest.
"Well; by goll, I'll be gosh almighty,
goll darn'd. May be eternally fab
ergasted and cut ia bits, if that amt
the rottenest, tarnelest, ornariest,

you what it is, Rusha, that's some of
that new kind OF water Oity folks have
goS 10 drinking. SulpheF water, they
call it. always hearn tell that it
tasted like rotten eggs, and that's
them, sure, and no mistake. Let's go
to the hotel, Rusha, for begin to feel
squeamish in my inards." So saying,
Reube and Rusha walked off, while
the large number of visitors who
witnessed the scene were making
the building shake, and bursting their
sides with laughter over their ludi-

Blessed are they that are afraid of

IT is one of the dogmas Of the mod
ern lady that she must not do any
thing for pay; and this miserable
prejudice Of senseless cOnventiOnality
is at this moment the worst obstacle
in the way of feminine talent and en-
ergy. Let the cooperative house
keepers demolish it forever by declar-
ing that it is just as necessary and
just as honorable for a wife to earn
money as it is for her husband; let
them, moreover, resolve that time
and skill is what they will pay for,
and not sex, and the age will soon see
what efforts women can make after
excellence when there is hope Of just
reward for it. Then alone shall we

TOpham, the Strong Man.

Thomas Topham, the ''strongman,"
was born in in London, in l71O, and
was born carpenter, but afterwards
travelled on "his muscle" He was a
quiet, peaeeable man, of middle size
and weighs, made like other men, ex-
cept the usual cavities under the arms
and hands were, in this CAGE, filled
with muscles. The wonderful stories
of his feats are well authenticated.
He could hold under perfeetrestraint
and with ease to himself, the strong
est horse. He lifted q table six feet
long with fifty pounds on the end of
it, with his teeth, and held it in a
horizontal position a considerable
time. He rolled up a pewter dish
weighing seven pounds, with as much
apparent ease as the reader would roll
up piece of paper. He held
pewter quart pot arms length and
squeezed the sides together like an
egg shell.
He lifted two hundred pounds with
his little finger, and waved it gently
around his head. He lifted Mr.. Cham
bers, clergyman, who must have
lived on the fat of the land, for he
weighed three hundred and seventy
eight pounds, with one hand, Mr..
Chambers head being placed on one
chair and his feet on another. At
blow he struck a round bar of iron,
one inch in diameter, against his max
ed arm, and bent it like bow.
One night, observing a watchman
asleep in his watch box, he picked up
the box and watchman, carrying the
load with the greatest ease, and drop
ped them over the wall into Tindal
burying ground.
A butcher once passed a window at
which Topham was sitting. HestOOp-
ed down and took haitian OK from the
fellows cart with so much ease and
dexterity that the man swore that
the devil had flown away with the
beef.
At a race, a man insisted upon driv-
ing upon the track, so Topham took
hold of the tail of the cart and drew
it gently back, the driver whipping
the horses like a madman all the
time.
When he kept a public house, two
men were determined to fight him I;
so to satify them, he seized them by
the napes of their necks and Knocked
their heads together till heknOeked all
the fight out of them;
