FEET OF SIZE.

Take them up tenderly,
Lift them with care
Fashioned 50 slenderly--
A beautiful paif.
Look at those number "twelves,"
4 sight OF themselves,
Made from two OK hides;
The truth shall I tell?
Male for q toung bride,
A Terre Haute belle.
Touch them not scornfully,
Think of her mournfully
Who has to wear them;
To naught on land or sea,
Under the canopy,
Can we compare themi
How we're her fathers feet?~
How were her mothers?
How were her sisters feet7
How We're her brOther's2
What had the maiden done
That she should merit 1t?
Was 1t Judgment,
Or did she inherit it?
Alasi for the rarity
OF Christian charity
Scarcer than pearls;
On! IL was pltlfuI
To see whole city full
OF big-footed girls.
Ali those huge bridal shoes,
Look at their sOlesl
laces like clothes lines
Pass through the holes.
Take them up tenderly,
Lift them with care
Fashioned 80 slenderly-
A beautiful pair.
If such her slippers,
What were her stogas2
Fabrics of leather, like
Two "Ssratogas."
Droves of horned cattle,
While passing around,
Look at her brogans,
Then paw up the ground;
Believing all the while,
Knowing fun well,
The leather required
For Terre Haute belief
She has a good understanding,
That's morally certain;
Her footing is proper
So let's drop the curtain,
And pledge in a bumper,
With proper sOlemnity,
A health to the fair brides
Pedal extremity.

There is nothing to authorize a change
in Yesterdays quotations. The market has
been quiet and weak, though the feeling
has been cheerful. Buyers and holders
have kept apart and transactions have been
light.
To-day a count was taken, according to
which the stock on hand is $685. bales.
This exceeds our statement of yesterday by
3,30S bales. In the cotton statement below
we work the excess into previous receipts
so as to adjust the statement as nearly as
possible to the count.

HYDR0PH0BIA

3 Remarkable Case i'm New York.
New York (,iune 10 Special to the Chicago Tri-
bune.
Concurrently with the arrivalo of every
June, Common Councils and Village
Trustees begin toissue orders and frame
ordinances restrictive of canine liberty.
and discussion on the pIopriety of tie
work Immediately begins. Its object,
of course, to prevent hydrophobia. One
eminent scientist contends that n.y.
drophobia is a disease peculiar to dogs
during the hot months, and capable of
transmission by bite to other animals.
Another, equally eminent, asserts that
it is a disease of the cold as well as the
hot months, and that the so called hy-
drophobia of human beings is only
nervous disorder, superinduced by fear.
This latter theory has received a
pretty severe knock, within two or three
days, from this city. Francis Butler,
a man Of superior education, began the
business of training and dealing IN
dogs IN this city about twenty years
ago. He was an accomplished inguist,
and had been connected with several
educational institutions as professor Of
languages. He began the business be-
cause Of his love for the animals. In
his shop could be found any breed,
from a King Charles spaniel to Sibe-
rian bloodhound. He wrote a popular
book entitled Dog Training" and his
skill in controlling the animals was
marvellous. Often mas he led, without
,--,-4,y,0g, f-,...Tg,,g d. +t.,k ,-+,.l-.I
every one else who approached them.
Throughout his life he has expressed
the utmost contempt Of hydr6phobia,
and has always asserted that. in men,
1t was only a nervous excitement brought
on by fear. Six weeks ago a small
spitz dog which was sick, was brought
to Mr.. Butler TO receive the best care.
While he was administering the first
dose Of medicine, the animal bit the
thumb Of his right hand, SO as to draw
blood. He had the wound dressed, and
soon forgot the occurrence. In taking
the animal to Mr. Buffers Brooklyn
Office next day. it escaped. and bit a
man in the leg, and was subsequently
shot by a policeman.
Last Monday morning MIR. Butler at
tempted to drink some tea at the break
fast table, and found that his muscles
would not obey his viii. He said to his
wife: Il can't get my tea to my lips.
What can it mean:" She told him his
nerves were disordered. He tried to
eat but failed, and few hours after
wards indisputable symptoms Of hydro
phobia were recognized. He ran about
the house and tried to strike and bite
every one he could get at, tore his
clothing to shreds, and dug his fingers
into his flesh. Physicians were called,
and after Il severe struggle secured him.
and injected morphine in his arm,
which checked the paroxysms. He lost
the power of speech, and thenceforward
barked ike a dog. His tongue hung
from his mouth, and foam was on his
lips. On Tuesday night he died, yelp-
ing and groaning like the most Zero
cious of his pets. He was 81 years cid,
and leaves n wife and nine children.
Surely this man was not the victim Of
fear.

LONGEVITY OF APPLE TREES.

The Country Gentleman says: Some
of the members of the Alton Horticul.
tural Society had an animated discus
sion on the lifetime Of orchard apple
trees. DR.. Long said be was cutting
up his apple trees, now forty-two years
old, as he thought they had reached
their limit of life Dr. Hull dissented,
and did not see why they might not
live forty-two thousand years. He
thought tree properly cared for might
live an indefinite number of years.
Whatever may be accomplished by
special management, our OWN observa-
tons are that apple orchards in the
East rarely flourish, grow freely and
bear well, over sixty years planted;
and at the West they more rarely at
tam fifty years. This remark applies
TO trees under good cultivation and
management, as well as to those left to
take care of themselves. We have &C.
casionally met with trees seventy years
old and upwards, and the oldest tree
We have seen was the famous apple tree
near Peekskill, n. Y, on the farm of
Henry Ward Beecher, which measured
over four feet average diameter four
feet from the ground, and was about
hundred years old; but these were ex-
ceptions. and the Beecher tree has since
gone by the board.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Provisions of the New Bill Passed by

Provisions of the New Bill Passed by
Washington CJune ~ Special to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
The principal points of the new
bankrupt bill, which only requires the
Presidents signature to become a law,
are as follows: Forty days are allowed
to elapse before merchant or trader
who fails to pay his commercial paper
Is liable to be thrown into bankruptcy.
The assent of one-fourth in number
and one-third in value of the creditors
is required to throw debtor into bank
ruptcy. This provision relates back to
the lst of last December. Proceedings
may be discontinued whenever adebtOr
pays those secured debts which
were the ground of throwing him
into bankruptcy, or whenever, with the
consent of the Court, he and a MAORI
ty of the creditors shall ask for dis
continuance of the proceedings. In
order to set aside hypothetical pledges
or liens on the bankrupt's estate. it
must appear that the party dealing
with the bankrupt knew that be intend
ed TO perpetrate a fraud on the bank
rupt law, and that he intendedtO go in
to bankruptcy. When Il loan is made
to a bankrupt in good faith and secu-
rity taken, with the intention of aiding
him TO pu through, 1t shall be consid-
cred as having actual value, and the
security shall not be invalidated by
proceedings in bankruptcy. A volun-
tary bankrupt may have his discharge
if his estate pays 30 per cent of his
debts, or, provided he obtains the as
sent of the same number of his credi-
tors as is necessary to throw him into
bankruptcy. An involuntary bankrupt
can get his discharge if his con-
duct is free from all fraud. and
he is innocent Of any violation or in
fringement of the bankrupt act. As
