Strange Case of Hydrophobia.


Sad Death Of n Learned Dog Fancier.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-Francis Butler,
well known dog fancier and regarded as
an authority on dogs, died at Brooklyn
yesterday Of hydrophobia. He was bitten
at his store in this city six weeks ago by a
small spitz dog while endeavoring to make
it take some medicine. He was a native
of England, an accomplished linguist and
has been connected with several educational
Institutions as professor of languages. Some
years ago he went into the business Of
training, buying and selling dogs, and his
ability in controlling them was marvellous.
He wrote book entitled '.Dog Training"
He had no fear of hyjrOphObi, and often ex-
pressed the opinion that il was simply a
nervous affection and that the bite of a
dog would not produce disease until fear
supervened and occasioned it.

West Point Graduates.
The ceremony of awarding diplomas to
the graduating class of 1874, at West Point
yesterday, drew together as usual fash
ionable attendance. The proceedings were
somewhat marTed by rair, which prevented
the anticipated outdoor exhibition. After
an address by Prof. Maryland and a parade
by the cadets, the graduates were dismissed
by Commander Upton, with the earnest
wish for their success in life. In the even
ing, at one of the hotels in the city, the
graduates and few friends had a parting
dinner.

Letter FROH WIN. B. STOKES.

I
ALEXANDRIA, June Is, 1S74.-Gen-
tlemen: l see published in your col
Umns. Of the lltb inst, an extract from
the NetU York World, of the Sth inst,
which is untrue, and does me Injustice.
Knowing you to be honorable journal
lists, L beg of you to insert this, in JUS
tlce to one who has no voice in the
halls of Congress to defend himself.
Judge Lawrence, a member from
Ohio, has seen fit to attack me, at least
your extract from the Ne1C York World.
Of the Sth inst, so represents him.
Now, l have only to state, in round
terms, that every statement or
insinuation made by Judge Law
renee In said extract is untrue.
Not one word of truth is to be found
IN the extract from the World of the
Sth inst, from the beginning to the end
of it.
Judge Lawrence knew when he made
the charge IN the House of Represen-
tatlves, that it was untrue. But he
knew that l had no opportunity or
privilege to defend myself on the floor,
and was not even in the city, to look
after him, when he threw off the robe
of protection.
/ know Judge Lawrence, and there
Is no narrower, or more contracted
piece of human flesh than he is. He
was always the contempt of the mem
bers Of the House, too little and penu-
TiOus to even entitle him to the respect
of the most obscure and humblest of
the members. In fact, he was always
looked upon as a deceitful sort of
man.
Please insert the above in your daily,
and much oblige your friend and ODE
dent servant, w. b. STOKES.

SARATOGA PoTAToEs.-Some years ago every
body ate of tho fried potatoes prepared in some
of the hotels at Saratoga, but more especially at
the oIake House" at Saratoga lake, whore thoy
woro prepared in perfection. On one occa-
sion. being thero with friend, lady and gen-
tleman made their appearance on tho piazza
whore little tables are placed, at which many
persons woro sucking their cobblers and eating
those pretty, curlod up potatoes. The party was
oyidontly English and stylish society people. Tho
lady stopped at our table, and partially STOPPING
down to SEQ what in tho world we could be eat
ing when we quietly blurtod out Potatoes !"
She laughed and passed on, but in few minutes
they we're trying tho article themselves much to
their apparent satisfaction. Now, however, we
have potatoes cooked here in Philadelphia just
as artisticaly and toothsomely as Mt Saratoga
lake. The way it is done is no longer secret,
and is as follows The tools are a common cab
baqo cutter, two wire stoves and spider"
Take. eay eight largo potatoes, pare them and
slice very thin with tho cutter, soak the slices
for two hours in cold water, stir into 1t ono tea
spoonful of salt to quart, and lot tnem remain
half an hour in that. Pour them into tho siove
to drain, and when well-drained wipe tho slicee
dry put a pound of lard into tho spider, and
when it becomes smoking hot put in tho pota-
toes. They must be constantly stirred to prevent
the pieces from adhering to one another and un-
til they are sufficiently Drowned to make your
mouth water, whom they should be served at
once.
BnRAD MUFFINs. .--Take four slicos OF bakers
broad, and cut off all the crust. Lay them In a
nan and pour boiling water over them, but bafo-
iy enough to soak them we'll Cover tho bread
and after it has stood an hour. draw Off tho wa
tor, and stir tho soaked bread till it is smooth
mass; thon mix in two tableepoonsful of sifted
flour and n half pint Of milk. Having beaten
two eggs very light, stir them gradually into tho
mixture Grease some muffin rings; set them
on hot griddle, and pour into each a portion of
tho mixture. Bake them brown; send them to
tho table hot; pull them open with your fingers,
aud spread on butter. They will be found an
excellent sort OF muffin, very light and nice.
DELAWARE BIsOUIT.-I think L have, very
lately, made decided improvement in my bis
cults. take as much flour asl think will do
and uso my judgement with regard to the
amount of lard. Some folks like moro and
