Performance of a Rabid Dog.

On last Wednesday evening, as
number of gentlemen were seated
around the Office stove at hotel on
Woodward avenue, in Detroit, pecu-
liar scratching at the street door at
tracted their attention. Thinking that
some one outside vas unable to find the
latch, one of the gentlemen near the
door arose and opened it, when to their
surprise dog trotted in, and walked
leisurely toward the stove. This created
a hearty laugh which was of short dura-
ton, for the discovery was made that
the animal frothed at the mouth and
showed other unmistakable symptoms
of bydrophobia. General CONSERVATION
ensued, and elevated positions were held
at a premium. His dogship perceiving
that he was master of the situation,
CRASHED his teeth in defiance, and COM
PEELED every person in the room to seek
place of safety. The stove was thrown
over, and chairs, tables, and Office furni-
ture generally demolished in fact, one
more frightened than the rest mounted
the red-hot drum attached to the fallen
stovepipe, which unenviable position,
however, he did not retain but mo-
ment. The dog in the meantime had
been making unsuccessful attempts to
bite several of the "perched gentle
men. At this juncture hasiy consul
tatlon was held, and it was decided to
make simultaneous rush for the door
This would probably have been done,
had not one of the men succeeded in
constructing a barrier composed Of
broken furniture between himself and
the rsbid animal, thereby precluding
the necessity of this change of base
Having accomplished this he opened
the door, and was soon making double
| quick time down the avenue, the dog
following close at his heels. He fortu
nately eluded the crazed animal, who
was last seen making a beeli for

A New Irish Trouble.

A meeting of an unusual character
has recently been held in Ireland.
About two hundred years ago an ances-
tor of Lord Masserene-whose great
grandfather was the last Speaker Of the
Irish House of Commons-let a large
extent of property on leases renewable
forever, subject to the condition that
the tenants should supply him with a
given quantity of poultry and other
commodities. For convenience sake,
the value of the articles was presently
paid instead, and this arrangement has
continued, but the tenants have only
raid the market value of the articles at
the time the leases were given-fve
cents for fowl which may now be worth
twenty-five, and SO forth. The present
Peer has intimated that he must either
have the ducks and geese themselves,
or their value in to-day's market, and
the tenants met under the Presidency
of one of their number, Justice of the
Peace, to consult what to do, being
much exercised at the prospect of pay
ing the value which, in fact, their an
cestors paid. If they elect to give then
tributes in kind, we should be sorry to
dine off them until they have had sew
eral meals at his Lordship's expense
Irish chickens are at the best apt to b.
but lean and ill-favored.

Juvenile ReYiYals.

That the average child is much in
need of instruction in the minor moral
tiles, will scarcely be disputed that said
child will learn them much better at
home than at church, is equally true.
We fail to recognize the usefulness of
the two or three doubtless well-mean-
ing persons who travel the country in
the guise of Revigalists," and make
the awakening of the juvenile mind to
its sins their special field of effort.
Their one unvarying method is painful
ly like to that described by Jonathan
Edwards as the cause of his conversion ::
"God opened the fiery pit and shook
me over the mouth thereof" 1t is
possible that highly colored pictures OF
roasting sinners may be productive OF
piety (God moves in a mysterious way)
but, as general rule, children are far
more apt to be scared into commissions
than into goodness. The piety which
needs to be protected by fear is OF a pale
and sickly cast. These Juvenile reviv'
ais are certainly unseemly in their pro-
gress and unhappy in their results
The mind is wrought up to feverish
unhealthy pitch of excitement, under
the influence of which obligations fol
| life are hastily and ignorantly assumed
only to be cast off at the cost of lii
some cases) bitter mental suffering

A. 7. Stewards Palace.

Stewards marble building, on Fifth
avenue, which he has erected for a
house, is approaching completion. 1t
is nearly furnished, and will be ready
for occupancy early in the spring. 1t
is, without question, the most superb
private residence in the country. 1t has
cost three millions, without the furni-
ture. The most celebrated artists have
been three years in frescoing the cell
ings. The frescoes are unequaled, ex-
cept those in the Prince Albert ball
room at Buckingham Palace. The style
of the building has been adopted, be-
cause Stewart intends to denote it to
the city for a gallery when he gets
through with it. 1t is sepulchral
place, with its stone floors and stone
stairs, nay, re quiring fire in summer
and winter to keep it habitable. Mrs.
Stewards room is an exception. The
wood work on her suite alone cost
$4,000. Every room has a carpet i'm
ported and made to fit, and the color of
each room is different. The doors are
solid rosewood with silver trimmings,
and it cost 5000 to hang each door in
the parlor. The picture gallery is COM
plete. Several of the pictures cost over
$4,000. The two most celebrated are
1.-THE Prodigal Son" and "The New
England Thanksgiving Dinner" The
water, works are marvels of elegance
and of ingenious contrivance. After
the parlors, the two most celebrated
rooms in the house are "Gen. Grants

elegance, for Mr.. Stewart and the
President are great friends then comes
the servants parlor." That is fitted
up more gorgeously than any gentle
mans parlor that have seen in this
city. Curtains, mirrors, imported car
pets, elegant chairs covered with red
leather, and pictures adorn the room.
Huge ranges, and every conceivable
modern convenience, can be found in
the kitchen. The doors are barred
against visitors generally, and the
house when done is not to be put on

A Religious Quarantine.

he vouches-more than we are willing

A Celestial Kite-f1ver.

The extreme spiritualistic circles of
New York city are agitated over the
sudden appearance of Benjamin Frank
lin in their midst. The philosopher
does not bear strong resemblance to
his lately-built statue, inasmuch as he
has returned to earth in the guise of a
cadaverous woman, who calls herself
the Celestial Kite Flyer" The thrifty
spirit within her has revealed the fact
that she must make, and setl for 81
each, precisely 9,999, 999 magnetic kites.
She is, consequently, busily engaged in
making them. They resemble the ordi-
nary plaything, and are supposed not to
become endowed with their wonderful
virtue until the whole number have
been sold. When this happy consum-
nation has been arrived at, the nine
million nine hundred and ninety-nine
thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine
owners are to meet and fly their kites.
When they reach the requisite height,
their magnetism will become apparent.
The luckless spirits who, according to
Franklin, are floating around in space,
will be attracted and held fast. At a
given signal, the kites will be hauled
down, the kite-fyers will grab the spirits
thereunto attached, and in some I'M
known way hold them, and they, once
brought to earth, will regenerate it
| forthwith. The scheme is promising
one, and the only thing lacking Is sufh.
Gent faith to furnish the cash. The
spiritualists of New York do not think
it right to monopolize that privilege
and the whole world is invited to share
it with them.

o.!

Our American Ruloff was supposed to
devote his leisure between murders to
demonstrating that all human languages
were evolved from the sound repre-
sented by the letter "R," and there is
no knowing how complete he might
have made his demonstration if the law
had not checked his researches with
rope. But now comes an English
writer, one Morgan Kavanagh, and
seeks to promote the letter 20" to that
dignity. He had published two large
volumes to prove that 30" was the first
letter ever pronounced by human lips,
and in defense of his theory he brings
forward such cogent considerations as
that this letter represents the disc OF
the sun and the shape of the human
mouth when open. Really the most
impressive argument, so far as appears
at present, is his defiant proclamation
of a willingness to bet 5000 on it, and
| leave it to committee of referees con
sisting of the ablest philologists in Eu
rope, such as Max Muller, Littre, ans
Renan. This presents to the scholiass
the sporting dilemma, Put up or shu
up" and is happy device to bring tn
mooted questions of science to tn

A Condensed Novel.
From the Chicago Tribune, Feb. is.


A divorce case with some new features
was = brought into court yesterday.
Stephen p. Hicks asks that he be re-
Ieved from the bonds of matrimony
now existing between himself and one
Anna. The complainant says that upon
the 2Sth day OF November last, he being
resident of and farmer in the county
of Black hawk, in the State of Iowa,
visited the town of Waterloo, having in
his custody wagon load of wheat for
delivery on commission to a warehouse
man in the town. AS return load he
had to take back quantity of stone,
awaiting the loading OF which he stood
upon the street corner where he met
one Alfred Alline, who was in buggy
drawn by a team of horses. Alline
stopped and invited complainant to ride
with him. He rode, as he supposed,
upon his friendly invitation, when he
was carried to Alline's house. During
the ride there was some friendly con-
verse. When the ride was completed,
Alllne invited complainant in. He OBJ
jected, by reason OF something he saw
In the invitation which indicated dan
ger, but being induced thereto by the
protfer of a pistol and the threat of
shoot, he did alght and entered the
house. Having entered the house, he
was encountered by one Anna Severance
(the defendant) and her aunt, Clara
Severance. Being in custody of these
females, the man Alline left, shortly to
return with some person who was repre-
sented to be a Justice of the Peace,
whereupon Alline produced lawful au-
thority for compliments marriage with
the woman Severance. Having pro-
cured this Alline demanded that the
marriage should take place forthwith,
because if it did not, then there
would bea killing. Under these threats
tae ceremony was gone through with,
but under duress and without consent,
and thereupon complainantleft defend
ant, wherefore, under all these circum-
stances, he claims that the marriage is
void.
