AnoUT MAD Doas.-It often happens

ABOUT MAD Doas.-It often happens
that dog, as soon as he feels i'll, runs
away from home. One would say that
he IS conscious of the danger which his
presence might cause to those he loves,
and that he intentionally goes to die In
a corner or get killed in street. Some
times. and exceptionally, yielding to
a natural attraction, he returns, and re-
spends to a caress with a bite. Once
really mad, and running about at librrty,
he attacks every living creature he meets,
giving the preference to dogs over other
animals, and prererring any animal to
human beings. It is a great consolation
to know that person may be bitten hy
a really mad dog without contracting
the disease. A bite through clothing
has rarely serious consequences; the
saliva-the only vehicle of Infection
being thus wiped from the animals
teeth. Olt of twenty individuals bitter,
it is uncertain how many will go mad !;
perhaps none. But it is quite certain
that they will not all go mad. The cause
of the escape is unknown; but such
escapes make the fortune of charlataps,
cunning men, and practiscrs of superstl-
tons. Bitten persons, who have taken
such and such drugs, or have gone
through such and such devotional forms,
and remain unharmed, never fail, they
and theirs, to attribute the result to the
means employed. Bat it is reassur
ing thought, likely to have favorable
influence, without hindering the en-
pIoymc Mt of rational precautions, to know
that, although bitten, 1t is quite posi-
BILE not to be touched by the poison.
Infinitely better is it to persuade the
patient of this than to hazard remedies
which will make as many victims as there
are persons foolish enough to try them.

FORBADE The BANs.-A little church
in Iowa, at place called Tete des Morris,
was lately the scene of such an exception,
and the uproar created by it appears to
have been intense. A young couple were
in process of being united, when a gentle
man rose in the church and forbade the
marriage. He proceeded, amid extraor-
dinary excitement, to set forth the Just
cause or impediment, which, in his view,
rendered the proposed union inadmissible.
The lady, it appears, had been previously
engaged to himself, in proof of which the
Tilted one forthwith began to read in
loud voice some of her lrve.letters which
he drew from his pocket, and which were
couched in a strain of extraordinary
warmth and eloquence. On this, the
friends of the bride, naturally averse to
publicity being given to her gushing
effusions, set up an indignant outCry, and
tried to silence the read.r. His friends
on the other hand, stood by him and
insisted he should 90 on. A violent
alteration ensued, which the clergyman
vainly sought to suppress, and at last the
church became what a Dubuque paper
calls ga perfect pandemonium" of shout.
ing and recrimination. With infinite
difficulty, the combatants were got out of
the sacred editice, only to continue the
row in the church-yard but the main
object of the interruption was, at all
events, secured, tor the marriage was
stopped. and is now said to be indefinitely
postponed.

SUGGEsrIvE.-The following pleasant
news for wine connoisseurs is contained
in a letter from Carlsruhe "Jnst as
usual, several cart-l loads of bilberries are
passing through our city en- route for
Wurtemberg, where they will undergo a
process of pressing, and be sold to the
wine dealers for coloring wines, etc.
Many a wine drinker thinks, while he
quaffs his red wine, that its tint has been
derived from the glowing sun of Bordeaux
or the Upper Rhine, whereas, IN reality,
it is indebted for it to the pine forests OF
Odenwald.'"

DETECTION OF SULP6URIC ACID IN
VINEGAR R-Tbe following process for de-
tecting the 5O0th part of free sulphuric
acid in vinegar, it is stated, is sufficient
" accurate for all practical purposes.
A fluid ounce of the vinegar to 5e ex-
amined is, by evaporation upon water
bath, reduced to about half a drachm,
or the consistency of thin extract;
when quite cold half a fluid ounce Of
strong alcohol is to be thoroughly In
corporated; the free sulphuric acid will
be taken up by the alcohol to the exclu-
sion of any sulphates; the alcoholic
Iionid solution should stand for several
bours and then be filtered; add to the
fl rate one fluid ounce of pure distilled
water, and evaporate off the alcohol by
the application of gentle heat; the re-
naming liquid is again left standing Tor
several hours and again filtered; TO the

To break in spray Of tears

The Car o Juggernaut.

The Indian correspondent OF the Lon
don Times recently wrote letter in re-
lation to the Juggernaut festival in
which he said he thought the cruel cere-
monies hitherto in vogue were no longer
common. In reply to this another gen.
tleman writes:
Some twenty-five years ago, 1 was
managing large estate in Lower Bengal
belonging to Hindo gentleman. In
the chief village of this estate there was
a Ruth, or Juggernaut car, which hav-
ing become dilapidated, underwent rath-
er extensive repairs. These cars are
supported on q number of wheels which
are invisible externally. On the day
when the Ruth ought to proceed on its
journey, the huge multitude found it
impossible to move it. AS afterwards
learned, the priests had locked the
wheels. For two or three days the peo-
pie tried to move it, but in vain. At
last it began to be whispered thet hu-
man sacrifice was required to inaugurate
the newly repaired car. A day or two
more, and was told that the victim had
been procured in the person of leper,
who hid sold himself for the sum OF 96.
I was also told that the Darogah, or Su-
perintendent of Police, had been hand
somely bribed, and that he would report
to the magistrate Accidental death.
did not believe all this, especially as my
informant was woman who, thought,
might have been imposed upon b, what
we call bazaar gup,' or common gossip;
but in two or three days more I was in
formed that, to the JOY of the whole
country round about, the Ruth had at
last moved, but that unfortunately, a
poor leper falling under the wheels had
been crushed to death. 1t was, how
ever, purely accidental occurrence, for
after most searching inquiry, the Do
rogah had so reported. After this ex-
perience made practice of watching
the Ruths, of which there are a great
many in Bengal, and invariably found
when one refused to be dragged by the
people, as the smaller car of your cores
pondent did, it's first motion was attended
with serious if not a fatal accident.
Your correspondent thinks the fact that
the man whose thigh was crushed drank
gin proves that he could not be a fit SUBJ
ject for a Hindo sacrifice. It appears
he does not know that all those who
swing at the Churruck Poojah are per-
sons of the very lowest caste, or rather
no caste at all, who are paid by wealthy
Hindoos to do this penance in their
stead. The fact of the mans being an
outcast, is a very strong proof that he
was purchased victim, and this is still
further confirmed by the native-like at
tempt to divert the suspicious of the
S ,hebs by the loudly-expressed blame
of the god for furnishing him. Another
suspicious circumstance is that the po-
lice had got themselves and the station
magl ,trates away from the smaller car,
so that there might be no interruption to
what was about to happen"
