A Fatal Hunt.

Another instance of the pitcher going
once too often TO the well has occurred
in India. Captain Doig, an infantry
hunter, and the fame of his exploits
had even reached Europe. He was sup
posed to be invincible, had performed
almost fabulous feats, and was held by
the natives to bear charmed life. The
poor gentleman was Notwithstanding,
killed by tiger early in September.
He went out one day and had a
brilliant success, Staying fine tiger
single-handed. Four or five days after
news came that another tiger was Turk.
ing in the same place, about six miles
from the cantonment. The new arri-
val at once began to distinguish himself
by slaughtering bullock, and Captain
Doig resolved to bring his sport to an
end. Unaccompanied save by his own
Shikaries," the hunter repaired to the
spot. The savage beast was soon found,
and Captain Doig got rather long shot
at him, and felt sure that he had hit
him in the head. His impression, how
ever, was that the tiger had got off into
the jungle not much hurt, and that he
must beat again for him in fresh quar-
ter. While preparing to do this, Cap
tain Doig being at the moment alone,
the enraged animal leaped from cover,
and in an instant seized his foe and
bore him to the earth. Captain Doig
afterward said that the onset was so
swift that he never even saw the beast
until he himself was on the ground,
and being, as he expressed it, "calmly
eaten" A horrible struggle ensued,
the "Shil<aries" sprang to the rescue,
and the intrepid hunter actually fought
himself out Of the tigers clutches, and
not only that but managed to destroy
him. The encounter was nevertheless
fatal. Captain Doig had the pluck to
ride back to the cantonment, being
lifted to the saddle for that purpose.
But he never recovered from the shock
and the frightful laceration he received,
and five days after breathed his last.
For men who get celebrated for this
kind of achievement its pursuit seems
to have irresistible fascination, and the
sad case of Captain Doig has many
precedents.

Well Informed Ladies.

How much more intelligent and
fascinating the majority of young ladies
would be were they to give little more
attention to newspaper reading. We
do not mean the flash papers of the day
which are filled with matter which, if il
does no harm, can certainly do no good
but to newspapers-those which make
us familiar with present character and
improvements of the age. 1t is well
enough to know something of the
worlds history, but it is with the pres.
ent we have mainly to deal, and we
know of no more engaging trait in a
lady's character than fair acquain.
lance with passing events. Every
young lady should have an intelligent
opinion on the moral, mental, political
and religious subjects of the times,
and the best and indeed the only way
to find this, is to read good newspapers
diligently.

Specific for Diphtheria.

The Italian journals publish letter
from DR.. Giovanni Calligara, describing
the remarkable success which has at
tended his treatment of diphtheria with
picnic acid. He relates the losses ne
formerly experienced among his patients
when treating them with emollients,
solvents, and cauterization with hydro
chloric acid, and observes that this
cauterization can no more eradicate the
morbid principle than tearing the leaves
off plant will destroy the root. He
now simply uses a gargle of picnic acid
and distilled water, with external appli-
cations of new flannel; the food and
drink to be taken cold. After the
adoption Of this treatment, DR.. Calligari
lost but one patient out of fifty-eight.
He requested the Italian journals to
publish this discovery. Picnic acid is
the agent which is now being used in
this country as a remedy for cancer,
and seems likely to effect an immense
saving of lives formerly hopelessly sac
rificed to that disease.

A GENTLEMAN of Norwalk, Va, who
had been tortured for long time with
neuralgia, hearing of a noted physicion
in Germany who invariably cured that
disease, visited him for treatment. He
was permanently cured after short
sojourn, and the doctor freely gave him
the simple remedy used, which was
nothing but poultice and tea made
from our common field thistle. The
leaves are macerated and used as a
poultice on the parts affected, while a
small quantity of the leaves are boiled
down in the proportion of a quart to a
pint, and small wine glass of the de-
coction drank before each meal.

Four remarkable children were F.,

Four remarkable children were re-
ported last week in Connecticut. Two
of them have recently been born in
Watervlle. One of them was born
minus the left hand, and the other
weighed thirteen and a half pounds at
birth. At Dover South Mills, there is a
child nearly a year old, which is bright
and active, but has no eyes. In the
same neighborhood there is a little girl
twelve years old, who, as if to make up
for the lack Of vision in that section,
has eyes as large as horse-or rather,
a horses eyes.

Simple Cure for Burns.

A varnisher of metals, in Paris, one
day got his hand badly burned, and in
his agony thrust it in,o pot of varnish
at his side. To his establishment the
pain at once ceased, and the wound
rapidly healed. The fact being reported
around, persons in the neighborhood who
had got burned came to the varnisher
and were cured in like manner. The
news circulated far and wide, and finally
reached the medical faculty, and the
varnisher was sent for to try his skill in
the hospital. He responded to the call
and succeeded in curing all on whom
he operated. The philosophy of the
cure is, the varnish keeps the burn
from the air, and gives nature chance
to supply new skin under its protec-
ton.
