HydrOphObia.

Some curious developments in regard to
this disease have occurred the past week
in the stables Of Mr.. Buckley, in Philadcl-
phia.
Although the developments have beer
comparatively 1ecent, the instieation of
them can be traced back as, far as August
last when dog, supposed to be mad. found
its way into the yard Of Mr. Bickley's prem
ises was driven off and shot at Fifteenth
and Market streets by q policeman. It was
not known that the rabid canine had bitten
any of the stock in the stables, but recent
developments have proved that considera-
BILE mischief was effected.
About month ago, mule stubborn bv
nature, but made more so from some rea-
son, refused to be harnessed, and finallv
went into spasms, and remained so for four
days, at the end of which time death put
an end to the sutterings of the poor beast.
MIR. Alexander Montgomery, a workman
in the employ of Mr.. Buckley, cared for the
mule, which, on once occasion. bit him So
verely on the arm. The animal held him
by the limb so tightly that he was unable
to eXtricate it, and but for Mr.. Buckley
Montgomery might have been killed. The
latter seizing pitchforl, thrust the prongs
into the body Of the animal, and forced it
to let go it's hold.
After this two goats belonging to Mr. B.
became affected with the disease and wers
killed. The larger one ran under a grew
horse, and rising abruptly, threw the ami
nal on its side. One of the workmen un-
dertook to battle with this goat, but was
chased from one part of the inclosure to
the other He sought refuge in large
sized wheelbarow. The result was that
the 1nturiated beast upset the wheelbarrow.
workmen and all, and the terror-stricken
laborer was only rescued by gang of men
who managed to secure the capture of the
quadruped, which was killed after four
bullets had been discharged into its body.
On Monday morning last, a bay horse, worth
5000, died of hydrophobia land on Wednes-
day last another animal was found dead in
stall, from the same cause.

Anecdotes of Dueling.

The history of dueling has its comic and
romantic aspect as well as its tragic and it's
diabolical. Some of the excuses given for
not fighting are droll enough. Franklin
relates the following anecdOte
A gentleman in coffee house desired
another to sit further from him. "Why
so?' said the person thus addressed. "Be-
cause, sir, you smell.'' "That sir, is an
atfront, and you must fight me-" 81 will
fight you if you insist upon it but don't
see how that will mend the NATTER for if
you kill me, l shall smell too and if kill
you, you will smell worse, if possible than
you do at present" Amadeus " os Sa-
voy, sent challenge to Humbert II, of the
same duchy. The latter replied to the
bearer Of the challenge "That the virtue
of prince did not consist in strength of
body and that if his principal boasted of
his strength, there was not bull which
was not stronger and more vigorous than
he could possible be; and, therefore, if he
liked, one should be sent to him to try"
The French poet, Voiture, was a noted du-
clist, but he would not always fight. On
one occasion, having been challenged by a
gentleman on whom he had exercised his
wit he replied: "The game is not equal !;
you are brave, I am coward however, if
you want to kill me, l will consider myself
dead"
Anon g the duels which deserve to be re-
corded is, that between the celebrat ed Irish
barristers, John Philpot Curran and John
Egan, nicknamed Bully Egan.' The
latter was man of immense size, while
Curran was slim and short. The chances
for being hit were therefore in favor of the
former, for Gas Curran said) it was like
firing at haystack. Curran, therefore,
proposed to exqualize the chances by chalk
ing lines on Egan's body, so as to mark out
(CuTans) size thereon, and by agreeing
that no shot should count which took effect
outside of these lines.

GOOD ADVICE.

Saith Paul. :" If eating meat shall cause my brother
to offend
no meat shall ever pass my lips till moral life shall
end"
0 what a blessing it would be, if Gospel preachers
all,
Who chew their quid and smoke cigars would think
and act like Pu.
Mems chief end (they preach to us) is God to
glorfy;
And this to do each Christian man AYERS he'll al
ways try.
But who can glorfy the Lord,by breaking natures
law;
by poison sucked into his throat or ground between
his jaws?
All brandy whiskey, gin and rum, with vengeance
they persue
But chewing leads to drunkenness, and they both
smoke and chew.
For sake of missions and the poor, your appetite
deny:
And what you lose thereby on earth you'll gain
above the sky.
But if you have not grace enough to let the " weed"
alone;
Don't preach against your neighbors sirs till you
forsake your own.

My First Patient.
A DOCTOR',S STORY.
CONCLUDED.

Y HAD thought my patient one of the
Il most beautiful women had ever seen,
on the night before, and the clear morning
light served only to confirm this first i'm
preston, for, pnlike so many women who
seem only night blooming flowers, she had
no blemish of complexion, no lines of time
and care, for daylight to search out and re-
veal. She was dazzlingly fair, without
pallor, her abundant hair perfect bronze,
with those lovely waves and ripples that
art seeks to counterfeit, and her eyes a
rich golden brown, luminous and warm
Her figure was tall and full, and her ex-
preston at once noble and feminine. The
old familiar quotation came at ouce to my
mind as I regarded her.
"A perfect woman, nobly planned
TO warn, to comfort and command"
Her peculiar conduct of the preceding
night puzzled me, but she was woman
for whom it was impossible to entertain any
feeling contrary to respect.
When Tim had left the room she thank
ed me warmly, blushing brightly tTiewhile,
for helping me on with her little play of
the night before, and then dismissing the
subject, we fell into an easy, delightful con-
versation, until, at length | found myself
speaking of my business, or, rather, of nv
lack of it, thing which had never be-
fore done to any human being.

AnecdOte.

John w. Crockett and James Gibson
were able lawyers, and in full practice, in
the early days Of Jackson's Purchase
They resided at Fulton, in Hickman CO
Ky. On one occasion they were emploved
opposites of an ejectment case. before n
magistrate. The court was held in a school
house. Crockett was reading the law TO
the court, and when he got through. Glib
son asked him for his book, saying that the
statute just read was new to him. Crock
ett refused to give it to him on the ground
That 1t was his own private property, and if
MIR. Gibson wanted the benefit of law
books, there were some for sale Tho
court ruled that the book was private prom
erty, and that Gibson had no right to see
it except with Crockett's consent. Gibson
was puzzled, but being man of resources
he fell upon a plan which completely upset
Crocketts calculations. He stepped back
and found uuder a desk an old copy of No
ah Webster's spelling book, and in address
ing the court, he read from the speller =
be 1t enacted by the General Assembly Of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, that ali
laws heretofore passed (here fitting Crock
ett's law, )be and they are hereby repealed -
Crockett sprang to his feet with, "Let me
see that book" "No you don't.U saws
Gibson; "this book, sir, is private nroner-
ty, and am not in the habit of nact;nr
law books around for the benefit of others ?
1t is needless to say Crockett lost his case

Scarlet Fever.

DIR. Charles 7. Thompson reports in
the Lancet his method of treating scarlet
fever In the early stage of the disease
the patient is immersed in q warm BATH
and this is repeated frequently as often as
the strength of the patient W ill allow
This has at first soothing effect, but is
followed soon after by such an eruption
upon the surface-of so vivid q color, as
to greatly astonish those who have never
seen it before. After the first or second
bath the appetite begins to return, and nu-
tritious food is given. DR.. II. states that
he has used this treatment now for fifteen
years, and has not lost a single patient by
scarlet fever

and brighter until IL surpasses the splendor il
bad when Sir John Herschel saw it involved
in Debulous matter? Is it not far more pro-
bable that the existence of nebulods matter
around the star is necessary condition of
the stars brightness? that the star will re-
cover its brillancy when the nebulous matter
comes back to it and that the periodicity of
this star (ss probably of other variables) is
due to the periodic character of the motions
which take place in the nebula?
But our sun is himself a periodic variable.
Has he, then, nebulous food brought to him
in greater or less quantities at regular periodic
intervals? The flames which surround him
exhibit the very same bright lines as the
flames around the star in Argo. They only
need 10 bear greater proportion to the suns
extent to show their bright lines upon the
solar spectrum precisely as the bright lines
appear in the spectrum Of Eta Argus, only in
comparably more resplendent. But where
is the solar nebula which is required
to make the analogy complete !?
Surely we see it in the crown
of glory which shines around the sun
during total ecEpses. Those strangely
figured radiations, the peculiar contorted
structure of portions of the corona compared
by Arago to hanks of thread in disorderl, and
the variable brilliancY and extent of the ob-
iect during different eclipses, seem very
plainly to point to the conclusion that our
sun has, like Eta Argus, its nebulous surround
ing. Like Eta Argus, too, our sun is a star
in flames, and it only needs that the nebulous
matter round the sun should resemble the
Argo nebula in relative extent, in order that
the solar flames should shine like those round
Eta Argus, with asplendor overmastering that
of the orb they belong to.
