Remedy for HydrOphobia

Mr.. Z. s. Tutwiler, of Lexington, Va, has
communicated to US for publication "a receipt
for the cure of hodrophobia," which, he says,
has been tested and proved to be sovereign
remedy. The mode of treatment referred to
by our correspondent was published years ago
in the Southside Democrat, and is explained in
the following extract from that paper, sent to
US by MIR. Tutwiler! 5a2-sl eli
"A servant boy was seized by mad dog,
which bit him in a dozen places, infcting
ghastly wounds; an eminent physician being
sent for, had the wounds washed with CASTLE
soap and plaster of mercurial ointment APP
piled to each wound. Calomel pills were ad-
ministered In the interim, causing saliuation-
The boy recovered and was living a few years
ago, never having manifested the slightest
symptoms of hydrophobia. A horse and two
COWS, known to have been bitten by the same
dog the ensuing day, went mad and died. !"

It is curious fact illustrating the
necessity of cleanliness, aud of keeping
the pores of the skin open, that if a
coat of varnish, or other substance i'm
pervious to moisture be applied to the
exterior of the body, death will ensue
in about six hours. The expert
ment was once tried on child at Flor
ence. On the occasion of Pope Leo
Tenth's accession to the Papal chair, it
was desired to have living figure to
represent the Golden Age, and so
child was gilded all over with varnish
and gold leaf. The child died in few
hours. If the fur of rabbit or the
skin of pig be covered with solution
of india>rubber in naptha, the animal
will cease to breathe in couple of
hours.

DFFALCATIONS.

I desire here to correc. false i'm
preston put forth by Democratic
speakers, Of the defalcation Of revenue
collectors, aud the large amounts due
from them to the government.
The Democratic Congregational adj
dress, issued from Washington IN March
laes, states that twenty -fge rillions
have been thus lost to the Treasury. Il
needs but brief explanation to ce-~ect
this error. The law requires collectors
to receipt monthly to assessors for the
amount Of the tax lists turaed over for
collection. The lists thus received and
receipted for by the collector are
charged against him at the Treasury
Department, and so remain charged
until accounted for, either by money
collected or by abatement as uncollect>
able, in the settlement of his accounts
The law requires this process, though
the collector resigns or is removed, and
the tax lists are in the hands Of his
successor. The accounts are, therefore,
frequently charged with large sums not
collcctable, and for which the Treasury
Department does not expect, nor does
it desire, to hold them responsible. On
final settlement, they are credited with
all taxes uncollectable, and their liabii-
ity, which appeared large on the Jooks
of the Treasury, in fact may have been
nothing.
The frequent delays in settling Off
GERS accounts, owing to deaths, rcsig-
nations and removals from office, causes
the apparent balance to be reported
against them.
From recent official report, it ap>
pears that the cash balances against
collectors reach the exact sum of ST.
768, ,397 SO, less than one sixth of one
per cent. of the internal revenue collec
tions; and these balances are secured by
sufficient bonds in penalties amounting
to ten millions of dollars The truth,
then, only lacks twenty>three and a
half millions of the Democratic story
But who are these dcfaultefs7 And
whose administrative service did they
perform
The balances are charged against col
lectors during their official term, as
follows:
To collectors appointed by Pres-
dent Llncoln....... 5 899,05S 50
To collectors appointed by Presi
dent johnson ..............$l, ,Sl3T5G II
To collectors appointed by Presi-
dent Grant t......................... 1851 76
Of the yearly excise of one hundred
and eighty five millions of dollars gath
cred by President Grants collectors,
there remains but sixty~four thousand
five hundred and eighty-one dollars and
.seventy-six cents not paid over to the
Treasury. Whether or no this fact will
shut the mouth of complaint and de-
traction, it shows decent ard unex>
ampled respect for official obligation and
accountability not to be found in the
financial history of any former admins
tration.

THE SCHOOLMASTER,

Inc art OF teaching, like that OF
poetry, may be acquired by patience
and diligence but the true school
master, like the poet, is born, not made.
A successful teacher must know not
only what he processes, but he must
know it better than others. He who is
only few lessons in advance of his
pupils need not be surprised if their
unsatisfactory progress disappoints both
himself and them. The success of the
teacher mainly depends on a proper
estimate and appreciation of what is due
from him. The superficial, half. hearted
teacher who has probably adopted the
profession when everything else has
failed, AID to whom the labor of teach
ing is drudgery and wcariness, is sorry
spectacle. 1t should he the aim Of Il
teacher to educate An inferior teacher
may instruct, but that is not education.
To instruct is to put in; to educate is
to draw out. 4 man must have con-
sciousness Of something more than the
dignity Of his profession in order to a
proper discharge Of his duties Of
sense Of their personal importance
members Of the scholastic profession
have, generally speaking, no lack As
a rule, they were, perhaps, the most
conceited OF m0rlals. though they may
not all have gone the length of Parson
Adams, in holding that schoolmaster

himself the greatest of schoolmasters

in whose estimation the pursuit assumed

New DISEASE AMONG Cows.-A
disease has lately appeared among the
cows of Jackson County, Mo-, which
has caused considerable loss to stock
raisers. The eyes alone are attacked,
and throw off water for nearly two
weeks, at the end of which time film
covers the eyeballs and completely
destroys the sight. The appetite mean
while does not seem to be affected, nor
is the general health of the animals in
any way impaired. The COW doctors of
Kansas City and neighborhood are very
much exercised over the matter, but as
vet have been unable to find either a
name for the disease, or specific for
its treatment.
