A Lunatic's Bite and Its Consequences.

The disputed question as to whether
the bite of human teeth is ever po1s-
onous would seem to be settled II the
affirmative by case which recently
occurred at the Schenectady poor
house. About three months ago an ID
mate was bitten in the hand by ma
MAC confined there, and although no
bad symptoms exhibited themselves at
first, the wound did not heal up rapid
ly, and in short time the hand began
to swell, evidences of poison becoming
manifest. After suffering intensely for
three months with the disease, which
gradually extended up the arm, it was
decided at last to perform an amputa-
tion, which was done few days ago,
and the patient is now in fair way Of
recovery

and other European powers concerning
allegiance, once subject always a
subject" having at last, through the
efforts of the Republican party, been
abandoned, and the American idea of
an individuals right to transfer his
allegiance having been accepted by Eu-
ropean nations, it IS the duty of our
Government to guard with jealous care
the rights of adopted citizens against
the assumption of unauthorized claims
by their former Government, and we
urge continual and careful encourage
ment and protection to voluntary I'M
migration.
Tenth-The franking privilege ought
to be abolished, and the way prepared
for a speedy reduction in the rates of
postage.
Eleventh-Among the questions
which press for attention is that which
concerns the relation of capital to la
Dor, and the Republican party recog-
nize the duty of so shaping legislation
as to secure protection and the simplest
field for capital and for labor, the crea-
tor of capital, the largest opportunity
and joint share of the mutual profits
Eon.
Twelve-We hold that Congress and
the President have only fulfilled an i'm
parative duty in their measures for the
suppression of violent and reasonable
organizations in certain lately rebel
lious regions and for the protection of
the ballot box, and therefore they are
entitled to thanks of the nation.
Thirteenth-We denounce repudia-
ton of the public debt in any form or
disguise as a national crime. We wit
ness with pride the reduction of the
principal OF the debt and of the rates
of interest upon the balance, and
confidently expect that our excellent
national currency will be profted by a
speedy resumption of specie payment.
Fourteenth-The Republican party,
mindful of it's obligations to the loyal
women of America for their noble de-
votion to the cause of freedom, their
admission to wider fields of useful
ness is received with satisfaction, and
the honest demands of any class of
citizens for additional rights should be
treated with respectful consideration.
Fifteenth-We heartily approve of
the action of Congress in extending
amnesty to those lately in rebellion,
and rejoice in the growth of peace and
fraternal feeling throughout the land.
Sixteentb-The Republican party
propose to respect the rights reserved
by the people to themselves as carefully
as the powers delegated by them to the
State and to the Federal Government.
It disapproves of resort to unconsti-
tut1onal laws for the purpose of remov-
ing evils by interference with rights not
surrendered by the people to either the
State or National Government.
Seventeenth-It is the duty of the
General Government to adopt such
measures as will tend to encourage
American commerce and ship building.
Eighteenth-We believe the modest
patriotism, the earnest purpose, the
sound judgment, practical wisdom,
incorruptable integrity, and illustrious
services of Ulysses S. Grant have com
mended him to the hearts of the Ameri-
can people; and with him at our head
we start to-day on a new march to vic
/ tory.

The Steamship Cuba Encountering &
School OF Whales.

On Saturday afternoon, June %, the
Royal mail steamer Cuba, when about
1000 miles from New York, ran through
large school of whales. The attention
of passengers was first drawn to the
apparently extensive play of fountains
on the horizon, and upon a nearer ap-
proach each discharge of water could
be distinctly heard, like a locomotive
blowing off steam. Soon, however,
what seemed like fleet of canoes,
turned out to be whales, some of them
being small black bottle-nosed whales,
while few were fine spermaceitis, COM
puted to be at least 60 or 70 feet long.
One or two enormous fellows obliged
the Cuban voyagers with very close
inspection of their lordships blowing
their clouds and turning up their tails.

claimed to be found in immense guam

THE BENNETT FAMILY.-James Gordon
Bennett, the founder and proprietor of the
New York Herald, whose death has been
announced, was born about the year 1900
at New Mill, near Keith, Bantfshire, in the
Highlands of Scotland. He was one of a
family of four children. His parents
lived in the vicinity of Duff House. one of
the residences of the Earl of Fife, and
there the earlier years of the future jour-
nalst were passed. The Bennetts OF
Keith trace their ancestry, as Mr.. Bennett
himself was at the pains to show in the
columns OF the Herald in later years, from
French family named Benoit (Anglice
''Benedict''y, which crossed the channel
with William the Conqueror. From one
branch of this family the English Ben
netts, Earls of Tankerville, are undoubt-
edly descended, and the editor of the
Herald maintained that another branch,
gong 10 ocOIlanu Will I'LL ahoeS-
tor of the Gordons, Dukes of Gordon,
laid the foundation of the family from
which he himself descendent. The par
ents of the journalist were of respectable
standing in the not very large community
in which they lived, and, as the manner
of their race is, cared well for the educa-
ton of their children. At the usual age
he was sent to school at Keith, his native
town. When he had attained his four
teenth year he was sent to Catholic SEM
mary at Aberdeen, where he remained
for two years studying for the priesthood
in the Catholic Church, of which his par
ents were members.

FIGHT BETWEEN A MAN AND A HYENA.
The Indian papers publish the following
account: ga party of six natives coming
toward Deyra through Mohun Pass were
attacked by hyena; it made straight at
one of them, and few at his throat. The
poor fellow stretched out his hands to
keep off his assailant, on which the hy-
ena bit them severely; his companions,
instead of coming to his aid, took refuge
in some adjoining trees. The man, finding
himself thus deserted, and his bands in a
mutilated state, pluckily turned on his en-
emv. and seized lis nose with his teeth,
roaring out in the best way he could for
assistance. BY this means lie secured the
animal, and his companions, taking cour-
age. came down from their secure position.
and belabored the brute to death with
sticks. saw the unfortunate man at the
dispensary, where he had gone to have
his wounds dressed, and was shown the
head of his enemy having his teeth. marks
on the nose. | believe this is almost un-
precedent instance in the annals of natu-
raj history, as hyena is well known as a
most cowardly brute, never venturing to
attack man, but preying chiefly on dogs,
carrion, and young children"

The Woodland Princess.

What II we met in an old log road,
Where the leaf-mold clung to her email bare
heels,
And instead Of woodland flowers, her load
Was a string Of trout aud silver eels? ~,--
Her gown was ragged and limp with dew,
But itroaaded-a painsfsplendid hips;
A rich red torrent was flashing through
e &Her startled pu'sesto,cheeks andlips.
The wholesome bronze Of her ruddy face
Was like ripe fruitin-s bower of green, .-.
And She walked theworld with the easy grace
And firm, free step of woodland queen.
The dew had molstened the jetty bair
That waved and fioated ABOUT her head
caught glimpse of the shoulders bare,
The sparkling eyes and the lips Of red.
Only glimpse of the tattered gown,
AS she dimmed from view in the eafy way
A glance of the shoulders, plump and brown,
And leg as plump and brown as they.
And wandered on by tho yeasty stream
70 try for the trout that would not rise;
For walked all day in misty dream
Of lips and shoulders and curls and eyes.
And l thought of damsel city bred,
Of narrow shoulders and doubtful spine;
With false hair frizzled about her head,
And false life beveled by rule and line.
Unskill@ and needless in wifely cares,
Expensive, vapory, worthless. When
The mother half hates the child she bears,
Where shall we go fer the nations men?
I take the lot that the Fates decre9,
And my fancles fail me one by one;
But the woodland maid in her beauty free,
Is the dream III dream till my life is done
