Rally round the standard boys!

With our heroes in the field,
Let us shout the battle cry.
Stand firmly to your post,
Tho the storm of bpttle lowers
When the smoke has clear'd away,
The victory will be ours.
Then let no trai:orous lips,
With treacherouS kiss beguilc US;
Nor with their vandal touch,
Unholy hands dcGlo US.
Labor now for freedoms cause,
We can-we must obtain it,
Success indeed, to those belong,
Who toll aud strive to gain it.
Spread the news from sea to sea;
And sing the triumph freely
Make the hills and valleys ring,
With shout for Horace Greeley,
Don't leave the ship of State,
In hands that have betrayed US,
If we'll but help ourselves,
True Northern hearts will aid US.

General Durbin Wnrd, of Cincinnati,
was n conspicuous War Democrat, has
been the candidate of his party for At
torney-General, and frequently for Con-
gress. At the time Of the Cincinnati
Convention he was, perhaps, the most
outspokon leading Democrat in South
ern Ohio, in declaring that he could not
support Mr.. Greeley. General Ward,
however, has seen cause to change his
opinion and frankly avows the change
in letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
And thus it is everywhere. 1t will not
be long before the New York World falls

Rqeeher on Dammatory Prayers.

Beecher on DammatOry Prayers.
Henry Ward Beechel has received tho
following note:
p2aR SIR--A short time ago I heard

following story to the congregation. lie
said thatin ono Of the Eastern States q

influential men in the noighborhood were
iniidels, who would not attend church,
and influenced others to stay away
After he had tried in vain to convert
them, he prayed fervently that they
might be removed. He said there were
five of them, and that in few days -four
were removed by denth, and the other
was "terribly shaken" as he expressed
it. Now | wish to know if you think
the story true, whether it was right for
him to pray for such thing? Is there
anything in the Bible in favor of such n
course?'
Mr., Beechcr writes to The Ledger that
this story IS every suspicious" but he
gives his opinion on the general subject
thus;
"What time there would be if every
unsuccessful preacher should be justified
in denouncing those who did not feel
moved by his sermons! Broad as is the
road that leads to destruction, it would
have to be widened still more to take in
all that would swarm it, if everybody
was to be damned that poor preachers
and unwise sermons did not convert.

HydrophObin and It's Prevention.
Now that the warm season is upon us,
mad-dog p0nics may lie expected. Yigi-
liant policemen viii slay every canine Of
suspicious aspect, timid people will be
in a state of constant trepiaation, and
fearful rumors Of bitten victims will fly
thick and fast.
Dogs do not become mad in day or
two, OF three days even, and the symp-
toms with which hydrophobia manifest,
itself can be easily detected by dog
owners. When the disease begins, the
animal loses his accustomed cheerful
ness, andappearsmelancho ahd sullen,
frequently refusing food, and always
shuns water and becomes stupid and
suIlen. Although all Of these symptoms
may not manifest themselves in every
case of hydrophobia, some one or more
Of them, especially the animals aversion
to water will most likely do so in SO
marked n degree rs to icave no doubt as
to the nature Of his complaint.
\ correspondent OF the Country Cen
tleman gives the following as cure for
hydrophobia;
[ can give some facts which may be of
use to somebody, thereby saving life.
The time between tbs biting Of au ami
nal by II mad dog and showing signs of
hydrophobia IS not less than nine days,
bnt may be nine months. After the ami
NAL has become rabid, bite OF scratch
with his tooth upon person, or slabber
coming in contact with sore or raw
place, would produce hydropho5ia Just
us soon as though he had been bitten by
mad deg. Hydrophobia con be pre-
vented, and l will give what is well
known to be an inmllible remedy, if pro-
perly administered, for man or beast. A
dose for a horse or COW should be about
four times as great MS for person. 1t
is not too late to give the medicine any
time before the spasms come on.
The first dose for 4 person is one and
n half ounces Of clecampane root, bruis-
ed; put IN It pint Of new milk, reduced
to one half by boiling; then take all at
once III the morning, fasting uutil after
noon, or Mt least very light diet after
several hours have elapsed. The second
dose the same NJ first, except take two
ounces Of the root; third dose same MS
last, TO be taken every other day. Three
doses are all tLat is needed, and there
need be no fear. This ] know from my
own experience, and know Of number
Of other cases where it has been entirely
'ucccssful This is no guess work These
persons allude to wcrc bitten by their
own dogs, that had been bitten by lnbid
dogs, and We're pcnncd up to see if they
would go mad. They did 20 mad and

years, and never knew case that failed
where it was properly administered.
Among other cases he mentioned was
one where u number of cows had been
bitten by Il mad dog. To half of the
number they administered this remedy,
TO the other half not. The latter all
died with the hydrophobia, while those
that took the elecampane and milk show

J. c. DeMoss, Louisville, Kentucky:
Tobacco bonded after June 6, if with
drawn for consumption, will be liable to
thirty-two cents tax.
j. W. DOUGLASS.
An impression has prevailed in some
quarters that tobacco could be made nov
and bonded, aud withdrawn after July /,
after the ue& law goes into effect, unGer
the reduced tax. At least that seems to
be the only sensible construction ether
wise the factories mightas we'll stop man
ufacturing until the new law goes into
operation, as they are not likely to find it
profitable to make goods udder S2-cents
tax to put on the market in competition
with goods that pav tax of ouly ~ cents.
This absurd and unjust decision by Com
III ,sioner Douglass will have the effect to
d,moralze the tobacco business Of the
country for nearly month.
