How to Cure HydrOphObia.

correspondent of the Detroit Trib-
1n1e describes at some length fearful
case of hydrophobia, where a man was
in commissions, " barking like a dog"
frothing at the mouth and making
strenuous efforts to bite everything that
came near. During these convul sons
the patient would seize the pillows from
his bed in his teeth, and shake and
rend them with all the seeming ferocty
OF an angry dog. An intense Dir -ad of
water also exhibited itself. The doctors
decided TO place the patient upon the
same treatment which had been sue.

aid it may be to others who suffer from
this malady, we here give, as follows:
The injection under the skin of
large doses Of morphine, and the adj.

which is a powerful anti-spasmodic.
About one grain of the sulphate of NOR

given internally. The effect was to
produce sleep in about half an hour,
which lasted about an hour and half,

that time he has gradually improved,

From the Paris Figaro, June %.

From the Paris Figaro, June %
Ii is known that the railroad from San
Francisco to New York passes through
the reservations of several tribes OF
Indians, who invariably regard the To-
comotives as terrible monsters created
by the Manitou TO exterminate the red
man.
Several times already the Indians
have attempted TO throw the cars on
the track. In these enterprises they
were led by one of the tercest OF their
chiefs, Cherokee named Naha, and
surnamed Mocking Bird. All their at
tempts having failed, Naha resolved to
change his tactics.
Accordingly, on the I'd of June last,
he concealed himself near the rails, and
with extraordinary activity bounded
upon the footboard Of train No. 81,
from San Francisco to New York. He
then slipped along the train till he
reached thu locomotive, where he killed
the fireman with a blow of his toma-
hawk, stabbed the engineer with his
knife, and, after scdlpng them, jumped
on the tender brandishing the scalps
and bowling out savage war song.
The settlers along the line became ter
ritied as they saw the tram, which now
dashed along at II fearful speed, driven
10y the ferocious engineer. Their situa-
ton was extremely periious; III fact
they were running into the jaws OF
death.
Finally an officer of the navy, Mr..
Henry Pierce, determined to sa.cihce
himself to save his fellow.passenger
Armed with long dirk knife he ran
along the footboard of the train and
jumped upon the engine. The chief
uttered war cry and brandished his
tomahawk, and hand-to-hand strug.
gle was commenced over the bodies OF
the engineer and the fireman.
The passengers put their heads out of
the windows, and with an anxiety which
may easily be imagined, tried 10 see the
fight. In about minute Mr.. Pierce
fell MORALLY wounded under hooking
Bird, who, in the twinkling of an eye,
scalped him. But while he was tri-
umphantly waving the scalp of the vic
tim in the air, Mr.. Pierce, who was still
living, had sufficient strength to Jump
up and lunge his knife in the Indian s
breast, killing him instantly. He then
crawled to the valve handle, shut off
the steam, and the train stopped.
The passengers ran to the assistance
of this brave officer, but it was too late

How Money is Made by Farming.

Much labor is done on farms that is
not farming in the true sense. By such
labor no money is ever made. A man
may support himself and family, keep
out of debt, and have few dollars in
his pocket by practicing the MIST strin
gent economy. If he is otherwise than
industrious and sober, he is on the
down grade with loose brakes, and the
end is soon reached. But farming, in
its true sense, is a profession equal to
that of the law or medicine, and needs
equal study, mental capacity, and in.
diligently directed labor to command
success In 1t.
The principles which underle the
practice of the true farmer must be well
understood, and steady, consistent
course of operations must be followed.
Having thoroughly learned the nature
and capacity of the soil he possesses,
and chosen the rotation most suitable,
and the stock to be most proftably kept
on 1t, he does not swerve from his
chosen course, but in good mark and
bad raises his regular crops, and keeps
his land in regularly increasing fertility.
No special cry tempts or affrights him.
He does not talk dairying this season
or crops the next, but doubtless, if any
particular product be in demand and
bring good price, he has some of it to
sell and reaps share of the adv2nt.
ages. He saves as much money as some
men make by care and economy in psr.
chasing and preserving tools, seeds,
manures, and machines, and his bust.
ness habits and constant readiness for
all occasions give him reasonable secu-
rity against the effects of adverse sea.
sons and bad weather. Always pre-
pared, he is never too late, and always
calm, he is never too soon, and thus,
=" taking time by the forelock," he has
the stern old tyrant at his command,
and turns him at his will. He has no
losses, and his gains are steady.

Foreign Gossip.

PIERRE ZAcoNNE, one of the most
popular writer's of light fiction in
France, is only "a years old, and yet he
has issued already 325 volumes.
The Japan Herald, in an article re-
specting the Mikado, gives some inter
esting facts connected with his history.
He was born in 1852. He assumed the
title of Prince in 1860 He assembled
the throne in 1868. By Japanese reck-
oning he is u years of age. 1t is
claimed that his pedigree can be traced
back l22 generations, extending over a
period of 1000 years. If these state
NESTS are correct, the Japan dynasty is
the oldest upon the face of the globe.

Feeding Cattle.

Grasshoppers came down on Maine
in such manner as TO almost make the
inhabitants think they were in Utah.
The result was great scarcity of win
ter food for cattle, and Yankee inge-
nuity was driven TO some queer expe'
pedients to overcome the difficulty.
Among others was the feeding of fish to
the cattle. After little while they
became very fond of this strange food,
and it seems TO have answered very
well for them.
The scarcity led many thoughtful
people to weigh every mouthful OF food
eaten by their cattle, nd TO make care
full observations. One gentleman finds
that 30 pounds of hay divided into three
equal portions will keep a cow in good
condition twenty-four hours. Or ten
pounds of hay or five pounds of corn
meal will accomplish the same thing.
Twenty bushels of corn are found to be
equivalent to a ton of hay-that is,
when the hay j. cut in blossom and
cured without rain or dew.
Another gentleman kept a yearling
colt in a constantly growing condition
on one quart of oats and four pounds OF
hay per day. This is not remarkable.
The colt must have been an easy keep
er naturally. This ration was divided
into three equal parts, and fed at early
morn, at noon and just before dark.
When the hay was timothy, he cut
it: when red clover, he fed it without
cutting. In all cases he wet his hay
and oats with warm water. He fed his
COWS ten pounds of hay and four quarts
of corn meal, wetting it in the same
