Hvdrophobia.

1t is time to pause in the hydro
phobia investigation, and sum up
what has been proved thus far. In
New York Mr.. Butler died of hydro
phobia, caused by the bite of dog
which subsequently died of the dis
ease; then Mr.. Mccormick died
from the effects of a bite by dog
which has not only never had hy-
drophobia, but is at present alive
and well. Then a printer, who had
been bitten by a dog not mad, was
haunted by his fears until he died in
some sort of hallucination which
the doctors have not thus far been
able to clearly understand. Fourth
ly comes the case of Mr.. Ames, of
East Orange, N. j., who, although
never bitten by dog or any other
creature, has just died in all the ag-
onies of u1mistakable hydrophobia.
He was neither morbid nor terrified,
but was attacked by the disease spon-
taneously, as though it had been
headache or fever. What, therefore,
does it all proYe2 One thing at
least it would seem to disprove, and
that is the theory maintained by
some physicians that there is no
such disease as hydrophobia, the
malady known by that name being
simply an acute form Of tetanus or
lock-jaw resulting from the wound
caused by a dog bite, just as it often
results in other cases from the wound
of a rusty nail or other dull instru-
ment. AS Mr.. Ames was not wound
ed, the lock-jaw theory would seem
to be disproved in his case. 1t is on
the whole a tough question.

A Georgia Heroine.

The following graphic description
Of the real jewels of the fair South
is given by a paper printed in the
State of Georgia: "Among the many
visitors who came to our city to sell
their produce, was a young lady from
an adjoining county who had chick
ems, eggs and butter for sale. Her
beauty was of transcendant excel
lence. Bright, flashing, intellectual
eyes, and face round and rosy, while
her calico dress was plain and neat
ly made, and fitted beautifully. Her
rich black hair flowed in luxuriant
richness. Highly educated, she con-
Versed fuently, and deported her
self with becoming modesty. She
wore no false hustle or purchased
complexion; had no top-knot on her
head, or false ixings to present, but
stood in the majestic beauty of a
created intelligence that would not
yield to the despotic dictates of
frivolous fashion. 1t has been a
long time since we gazed upon such
sight. The young men crowded
around her wagon with curiosity in
their eyes and admiration in their
hearts. The old men wept for joy
that there was one who had not
bowed to Baal. She sold her coun-
try produce, went home and MIXED
the COWS, cooked the supper for ten
farm laborers, and went to church
that night With her sweetheart"
