Signs of Madness in Dogs.

THE British MedlcdL Journal calls atten-
ton 10 the measures recommended by The
Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux for the
better protection of people against the
dangers of hydrophobia. 1t is well I'M
derstOod that the madness of dogs has a
period which is premonitory and harm
less. If these periods We're generally
known, the dogs could be put out of the
way before they became dangerous. On
this subject the Council of Hygiene has
issued the following Instructions:
A short time, sometimes two days, after
madness has seized dog, it creates symp-
toms in the animal which it is indispensa-
bic to recognize.
/. There is agitation and restlesness,
and the dog turns himself continually in
his kennel. If he be at liberty, he goes
and comes, and seems to be seeking some
thing; then he remains mOtionlcss, as If
waiting; then he starts, bites the air as If
he would catch fly, and dashes himself
bowling and barking against the wall.
The voice of his master dissipates these
Authorizations the dog obeys, but slowly,
with hesitation, as if with regret.
2. He does not try to bite; he is gentle,
even affectionate, and he eats and drinks
but gnaws the litter the ends OF curtains,
the padding of cushions, the coverlids OF
the beds, the carpets, etc.
3. BY the movement of his paws about
the sides of his open mouth, one might
think he was trying to free his throat OF
bone.
4. His voice undergoes such change
that it is impossible not to be struck
by it.
5. The dog begins to fight with other
dogs; this is decidedly characteristic
sign, if the dog be generally peaceful:
The three symptoms last mentioned in
dictate an advanced period of the disease,
and that the dog may become dangerous
at any moment, if Immediate measures
are not taken. 1t is best to chain him up
at once, or better still, to kill him.
The Boston Medical and Surgical Jou1n-
! al suggests that this advice may be insert

A Fortunate Blow.

AN engineer on the Detroit and Lansing
road named Frank Dolan, saved mans
life Monday in a rather singular manner.
He was coming in on wet track with a
heavy train, and soon after leaving Howell
put on more steam to make up for lost
time. The train was running at the rate
of about twenty-five miles an hour when
DOlan caught sight of a man on the track,
about half mile ahead. He was certain
that the man was deaf from the way he
walked, but he opened the whistle and
rang the bell. The man paid no attention
to the sounds, and Dolan whistled for
brakes They did not take well, and, al
though the engine was reversed it was
plain that the pedestrian would be run
down unless something was done prompt
~. Dolan ran forward over the engine
and down on the cow-catcher. By this
time the pedestrian was not three hundred
feet away, and was trying to walk one of
the rails, swaying this way and that, but
apparently not feeling the rumble of the
train, as it would naturally be expected he
would. Dolan, leaning forward, reached
a foot beyond the cOW-catcher, and as the
train came close upon the mans heels
struck him in the back with both fists.
The victim was not on the rail at that
moment, ana he caugnt IL Win MS leet as
he went over, so that lie was whirled
around lengthwise of the track and was
cut in the scalp by some portion Of the
first pair of trucks. He was t1oundcring
in the ditch when the train stopped, and
when he had ascertained what the fuss
was about he squared off and wanted to
whip somebody. He was 50 deaf that the
railroad employees had to scream in his
ears to make themselves heard, and so
mad that he would not let them examine
his wound or do anything for him. He
was recognized as a farmer living near
Plymouth but would not even accept a
free ride hOme.-Detrot Free Press

WASHINGTON, Tuesday sept. 16, 1873.
Gov Shepherd to-day, in a speech to members Of the
Legislative Assembly, announced bis opinion regarding
the District follows:
As the President OF the Council has alluded TO financial
embarrassInents, he could not agree with him IN
this remark; he believed the District really
in better financial condition than most other cities IN
"A country the same size. II was natural that IN the
sleepy condition in which they had found affairs when
the present Government was inauguraed they shOnld
incur large DEBT in securing such improvements as
would guarantee the stability OF the city a. the seat Of
the General Government; and he believed that IN a
much shorter time than most aware OF,
the District would he freed from this debt
nv the aid of the Government. He believed
the General Government would recognize the justice Of
doing what should have been done heretofore IN that
direction. He hoped TO receive the encouragement or
the citizens Of this District under the embarrdssments
alluded to, and trusted that there would be
no croakers among them but that all things would tend
toward Treating the district from debt and that they
would secure the cooperation OF the legislative depart
ment OF the General Government as well a. Of the tx
