/ d. Hyd,ophob.a.-Dr. Stephen
Ware Of Boston, in his testimo-
ny in a recent case which grew
out of the Injuries from the bite
of a dog, furnishes the following
valuable advice: a~
In the case Of the bite Of Il dog,
where he teeth Of the anilnaI
penetrated the flesh. whether the
dog was known to be mad or not.
he should use the same prccau-
tons. He would wash the wound
with warm water, extract all the
virus possible by sucking the
wound with his lips. and the eau
terize it deeply with the caustic
most readily obtained; but1should
usespotash if it could be procu-
red at once. The time in which
the effects Of the bite Of a mad
dog would be seen varied from
three days to as many years, but
If no effects were felt after two or
three months, as a general thing
the patient might consider him
self safe. Bites made through
clothing are seldom productive
of much harm, as even ifthe dog
is mad the clothing absorbs the
virus before the teeth reach the
flesh. Most of all the fatal cases
are where the person was bitten
on some naked spot.

A Story OF THOMAS CoRw1N's
|SNoRING.-He arrived at DAYTON,
Ohio, late one night, very tired
from long stage ride during the
day. The great humorist and
statesman retired to bed, obser-
wing Us he did so that some one
occupied another bed in the OPP
posite corner. The honorable
Tom was soon fast asleep, and
snoring tremendously. The other
traveller bore this ihtliction as
human endurance could go, and
then he sang ont: "Oh! sir, sir,
sir" Hello. hello" Grid Tom,
sitting up wildly in bed. what is
the matter??'' "Oh, sir" exclaim-
ed the sufferer, you snore, sir -
Did l snore, sir?" demanded
Corwin, "Is.it possible? Ireal-
]y beg your pardon, sir And
SO saying, he dropped asleep a.
gain-and again the dreadful
snoring went on. The poor man
in the next bed again complained.
"Sir, Sir, Oh! sir" !" Il say what is
it?" responded Corwin. You
are snoring again. SIR" why,
really, sir, | am ashamed of my
self; | beg a thousand pardons
for my impoliteness." And again
the Senator sought repose; but
the snoring was worse than ever,
and the sufferer once more called
attension to the offence. "Look
here, sir," cried the Senator. ''you
have wakened me up three times,
and twice l have apologized.
what more can a gentleman ask?
Now l am tired and sleepy, and
if'yeu disturb me again, why,
damn it, III brain you with a
bOOt-.lack. z~.ef ....t. ... d.. .-..,

Somebody has said that the worst possible

The clique Of conspirators known ms the

are sometimes nominated for Offices within

While IL is not at all strange that the
Tammany conspirators should endoavor to

strange aud lamcntable that men of good

Hamilton Fish should not Remain IN

Tie attitude Of Senators CARPENTER,
MopToN, HowE, and SHERMAN on the Cuban
question is full Of hope for the cause of free
dom and justice, that has been outraged SO
persistenly by the Secretary Of State with
the connivance Of CHARLES SUMNER and SID
NEY WEBSTER.
Ever since the death Of Gen. RAwLINs the
Administration has uctcd as an ally of Spain,
and not as the representative of American
principles or institutions. The argument
that the Cubans had not reached q condition
that entitled them 70 bell gercnt rights was
tne argument Of Spain.
In the last century similar arguments
were put forth against the recognition Of the
American Colonies but their independence
wns acknowledged by Holland and France,
although the British were still powerful on
this eide OF the Atlantic. Similar arguments
| have been over aud again urged by tyrants

euce long enough for the statutes to be very

thousand dollars for the benefit Of the insane

discretion Of three persons chosen by the 10
qislature itself for tho purpose increased
the fees Of shcrifIs; and finally proceeded to
elect its own nominees TO offices to which the
Governor Of the Territory. according to the

of appointment.
Now, all this, and much more OF like char.
ncter, was done at one session of tho Mon.

the tizens of Montana 1t ia true that Lo-
gslative appropriations here exceed in
amount those mentioned there but in that
spnrsely settled Western country tax Of
thousand dollars is as much in proportion as
a million In New York We must remember
that we lack all those much Landed bless
ings Of primitive civilization which are TO be
found in Montana; as vigilance committees,
frequent and summary hangings of alleged
murdercrs to the nearest tree,-it sometimes
happens that the wrong man is hung, and
then it has 20 be done over agnin,-n other
improving and pleasant things. There are
certain people who talk az If they wished we
could have some Of these things here but
we are amply satisfied with our resemblance
to Montana in the matter of legislature, aud
we prefer to leave the vigilance committees
out for the present.
