Curious Controversy.

An antiquated writer in the Mem
pllis Appeal has dug up out of his
memory the following rich story. The
young lawyer referred to is still -four
ishing in Memphis:
"There was never greater local ex-
citement than that which grew out Of
this internal nayy-yard business. Half
the people were in favor of accepting
the property and half or more OPP
posed to it, the latter thinking that
the Government might be induced
even yet to make liberal appropria-
tions and perfect the navy-yard and
build ships and steamers here. There
were two newspapers published here;
one, a morning publication, edited by
a gentleman of no ordinary ability,
named Bankhead, who was tragically
and mysteriously assassinated some
six years ago. There was another, an
afternoon paper, called the Neus Il
believe that was its nalne), edited by
a man named Yancy. These two ed
itors opposed one another on the
yard question, and their discus
sions had begotten a good deal Of ex-
element, when both went away for
the summer, and each without the
others knowledge employed the same
man, this young lawyer, to conduct
his paper in his absence. The young
limb Of the law naturally enough took
to both sides Of the question. He
made the controversy between the
two napers hotter and hotter on each

SILENT MEN.-Washington never
made u speech. In the zenith of his
fame he once attempted it and gave it
up, confused and abashed. In framing
the constitution of the United States
the labor was almost wholly performed
in committee of the whole of which
George Washington WAS, day after
day, the chairman, and he made but
two speeches, in which he used but
very few words. The convention,
however, acknowledged the master
spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity
and the thirty words of his first
speeches, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon, the constitution
would have been rejected by the peo-
pie. Thomas jefferson never made a
speech; he couldn't do it. Napoleon,
whose executive ability is without a
parallel said that his greatest difficulty
was i'll finding men Of deeds rather
than words. When asked how he
maintained his influence over his SUI
periors in age and experience, when
commandcr-in-chief of an army in
Italy, he said, ''By reserve" The
greatness Of man is not measured by
the length of his speeches and their
number.

HydrOphObia.

Whatever charlatans may say, there
is no known remedy for canine mad
ness. When bitten, the surest means
to escape infection is the application
Of a red-hot iron with a firm hand,
and us soon as possible. A curtain
rod, a small poker, bit of stout wire,
a knife, any iron nearest to hand, !,
heated to bright red, will suffice.
With this the wound must be sounded
and burned. 1t is good to put the iron
again into the fire, and repeat the OPP
Grafton etfectually. The pain is quite
supportable. M.Leblanc, senior, says
that the cauterization gives the per-
sou bitten, not exactly pleasure, but
decided satisfaction, because the sense
of preservation and safety completely
overpowerst the pain inflicted. In
Hayti, where canine madness is COM
mon, they apply gunpowder to the
wounded parts, and then set fire to It..
After this a blister, and mercurial
treatment carried to salvation, COM
plete the cure, or rather prevent the
disease. OF course, after these neces-
sary precautions, any known nostrum
may be employed. Old women's pre-
cepts and popular prescriptions can
do no harm, and may do good by
keeping up the patients spirits and
inspiring him with hopes Of a favora-
bic result. -t.. n.....
1t is a great consolation to know
that a person can be bitten by a real
ly mad dog without contracting the
disease. A bite through clothing has
rarely serious consequences; the sali-
va-the only vehicle of infection-be-
ing thus wiped from the animals
teeth. Out Of twenty individuals bit
ten, it is uncertain how many will go
mad; perhaps none. But it is quite
certain they will not all go mad. The
cause of their escape is unknown, but
such escapes make the fortunes of
charlatans, cunning men and prs,c-
tisers of superstitions. Bitten persons
who have taken such and such drugs,
or have gone through such and such
devotional forms, and remain un-
harmed, never fail, they and theirs,
to attribute the result to the means
employed. But it is a reassuring
thought, likely to have a favorable
influence, without hindering the en-
ployment of rational precautions, to
know that, although bitten, it is quite
possible not to be touched by the poi
son. Infinitely better is it to persuade
the patient Of this than to hazard REM
edies which will make as many vic
Tins as there are persons foolish
enough to try then4.--4ppleton's Jour
nal.

approached the settlements, and un-
less our horses can 60 to the Stone
| tavern in Parma before we are over
taken, we are lost
" At this juncture the old, curly
horned leader, tired and out Of wind
from the long run, gave vent to a
prolonged bleat, which was enough
to scare girl less timid than Fanny.
| sawed on the horses bits, and flour
ished my whip frantically around
them, until they were excited and APP
parehtly doing their best to escape
the fate behind them, but was Sc
cretely holding them back to allow
the wolves " to get closer. On came
the bloody horde, painting for breath,
nearer and nearer, until / began to
throw out robes and blankets. These
will keep them chewing a few min
utes,' said, and we may escape
But the sheep had no appetite for the
robes, and were close behind us.
81 arose in the sleigh, gave the
reins to Fanny, saying, Drive for
your life-I will sacrifice myself for
you, and made movement as if to
jump out Of the sleigh. Never,
never!' she screamed, I'VE viii die
together and she pulled me down
beside her, to await her fate. While
thus employed, l succeeded in OBJ
tanning hasty avowal from Fanny, at
the same time I was holding back
horses, to let the pursuers go by.
They came; the monsters separated
and passed us on either side, while
held my hat over her face, that she
might not see the dreadful deception
l had played upon her.
"She tainted the moment we were
overtaken by the wolves, and without
trying to revive her, l turned the
horses backward and only stopped
to pick up the robes which had been
thrown out to check the ferocious ami
mails. After driving q mile or two
my now atfianced wife revived sufli-
ciently to hear how we. were saved
by a party Of sleigh-rlders, who met
us just as we were surrounded.
Though nervous and weak from the
excitement, she recovered her buoy
ancy Of spirit before we arrived home,
and had promised to keep onr adven-
ture q secret, as l informed her the
owner Of the horses would charge me
a fearful price if he knew to what
tests his stecds had been put And
that is my adventure with wolves,
and how l came to marry"
"But did your wife never find out
the deception you practiced3 we
asked the old settler, and he laughed
again, while thinking Of his boyish
pranks.
"Not until eight years ago." he re-
piled, ''wllen told her Of it ono eve-
ming when she was ironing"
What did she say?"
"Not much-not very much," an
swered our old romanccr, but rcmov-
ing his hat he showed MS Il triangular
space upon his head, such rs might
have been made by a smoothing iron,
and with not hair upon its surface.
We thought Fanny was revenged.

The freaks of lightning grow more
and more remarkable every year. In
Alabama it struck and killed Il lady,
leaving uninjured child in her arms.
In the same State, two buzzards, high
up in the air, were struck, and their
flight peremptorily arrested. But the
greatest achievement in this line, yet
reported, occurred i'll Tennessee, where
a man was struck by lightning, and
driven into the ground up to his neck,
without being materially injured.
Perhaps the electric fluid will open
an air line to China yet in this way.
