Franklin Dyre, a highly respectable
and intelligent farmer, of Galena. Kent
county, Maryland, gives the following
as a sure care for the bite of mad dog.
As will be seen he has tested it, with
the most gratifying results:
Elecampane is plant well known to
most persons, and is to be found in
many gardens. Immediately after be-
ing bitten take one and half ounces Of
the root of the rlant-the green roots
are preferable, but the dried will ans

boil down to a half pint, strain and
when cold drink it, fasting at least six
hours afterward. The next morning
repeat the Gose, fasting, using two
ounces of the root. On the 3rd morn

last, and this will be sufficient. 1t is
recommended that after each dose moth
ing be eaten for at least six hours.

Singular Depravity.

p A letter from Greenville Tenn, says
The Cholera at Greenville has developed
a few cases of monstrous deprayity ,one
of which will relate without mention
names. And old gentleman, probably
near seventy years of age, who lived a
mile or two in the country, and is noted
for his recklessness and utter defiance OF
the laws of God came into town one day
and passing down street, cried out that
he intended to spread the cholera over
the town. He then went to an under
taker and wanted to know if he could
make him coffin and what he would
charge. The reply was that if he want
ed it before his death he would charge
him twenty-five dollars, but after he
would charge only fourteen. He told
him to proceed with the matter, but to
be sure to make it out of ftwo-inch plank
and leave it open at both ends, so that
if the devil comes in at one end he
could escape at the other. That night
he was striker down with the Cholera,
and by morning was corpse.

A Reader Alienated.


A Western contemporary thinks it
smart to relate that an Iowa editor, re-
Gently, to keep up with the styles, ran
away with another mans wife. He did
not get off so easily, however, as he
he would. The man follow
ed and overlook the truant pair. The
editor got behind the woman and pre-
pared to sell his life as dearly as possi-
bic. He was uncertain as to whether
the outraged husband would shoot him
or murder him with a carving knife.
He stood there, like the boy upon the
burning deck, and calmly awaited the
result. The outraged husband came up
within about two feet of the editor, and
said. ..::Cuss your impudence. L want
you to stop nay paper" That was all.
The editor recovered himself, and said
he would have the matter attended to at
once. During all the trying scene the
woman stuck to the editor like sand
burr to girls stocking. Some people
get mad and stop their paper for almost
nothing-it beats all.

The Dog Nuisance.

All who have bowling dogs had bet
ter tie up their mouths at night. In
protecting people from the noisy nui-
sance, it is said by the papers that Ca
leb Cushing steps to the front as world
benefactor. In the Washington Police
Court on Friday the owner of the bark
ing dog who disturbed Caleb's slumbers
was fined $25 and costs and ordered to
remove his dog from the premises or
kill him. The precedent was valuable
one, and about dozen complaints were
entered on the following morning, in
one case the owner being ordered to
pay fine of two dollars per day until
the dog was killed.

80 5aI 10 SUDDEN DEATH.
Emanuel Sucker is dead. He died
on the fifth day of July.
He was rugged and healthy,-fell sud-
denly in the street,-was carried home
and soon expired!
What caused his death?
The legitimate cause was strong drink
dissipation. Some persons say he
swallowed large dose of whisky in a
saloon on boast; walked out into the
street and fell-to rise no more. One
thing is certain, if he had never fallen
a victim to the influence of saloon
keepers, to-day he would have been an
Industrious and honorable young man.
But he was their victim, and has gone
to drunkard's grave, to drunkard's
doom. ,.-. s5s

the responsibility rest? +-e.r

The noble work will ennoble the most
common life. Even the mest common
work, if nobly done, and done with a
realization of its place in the grand
harmonious whole, may be worthy of q
life's devotion.
The most soul-stirring poem is formed
but of our common words; the most
exquisite painting is finished, touch by
touch, with the same materials, as the
veriest failure of the school-boy artist.
1t is not because the work is common,
but because the object is unworthy, that
the gaining a little more wealth, little
more fame, or step higher upon the
social ladder, should not be the life
work of an immortal being. A few

ah, careworn mother. when her heart
is suffering for sympathy, little extra
pastry upon your table, oh, housekeep-

promised her in her youth. We have

To Guess the two Ends of q

Cause set of dominoes to be shuffied
together as much as any of the COM

the room in which the audience are as

retreat, wherever it may be, you can see

composed of the entire set, according
to the rules established for laying one
domino after another in the draw game.
All the magic consists in taking up
and carrying away, unknown to every

be the same as those on the ends of the

"A considerable number of the
leading physicians of New York city
have signed petition to the State
Legislature, praying for the passage
Of a law suppressing the traffic in in.
toxicating liquors. Petitions bearing
some forty thousand signatures have
also been forwarded, protesting
against the exemption of beer from
the restraints of the existing laws reg.
ulating the sale of Intoxicating drinks.
There is little doubt that the times re.
quirc new and fuller presentation of
the wrongs of intemperance, as also
more rigorous enfercment of existing
penalties against drunkenness in pub.
lie. 1t may be questioned, however,
whether legal enactmcnts will ever do
more than secure q partial remedy
against this curse Of modern society.
Prohibitory license laws will do some
thing toward checking a traffic that
sometimes seems TO regard neither the
condition nor the interest of the buyer,
but it is to be feared they sometimes,
also, augment the evil they strive to
remove. A law has recently been
enacted in France which provides a
sliding scale of punishment both for
the inebriate and the man who sells
to him. The law does not propose to
prohibit drinking, but rather to ter.
rerize the drunkard and those who
supply him at improper times. a sim
liar law is canvassed in Great Britain.
Why not adopt the plan here? The
virtue of temperance, however, like
all other Writes, must proceed, pri-
marily, from the mind and conscience.
