A dog which IS at large is also to be rec
ognized as in dangerous state by its de-
meanor. A healthy dog in its progress
along street or elsewhere shows at every
step that its attention is awake to the sights
and sounds which it encounters. The rabid
dog, on the contrary, goes sullenly and uu-
observantly forward, and is not diverted
by objects obviously likely to attract it,
This statement. however, is subject to the
important exception already referred to,
that it is excited by the sight and sound of
an animal of its own species.
Of the symptoms which accompany the
final stage of the disease, the most impor-
tant and characteristic are those which re-
late to the organs in which it localizes it.
self-the mouth and throat Attention is
often drawn to the condition of
the mouth in an animal supposed to
be healthy by the observation that it tries
to scratch the corners of its mouth. as if
attempting to get rid of the ropy mucus
which is seen to be discharged from it. In
dogs that are tied up it is noticeable that
the bark has entirely lost its ring, and &C.
quires peculiar hoardkness, which can be
recognized even by the most unobservant.
As the disease progresses the discharge in

is often loss of power Of the hind limbs
II now the dog is watched, the peculiarities
of behavior which have been already no.
ticed are seen to present themselves in q
much more marked degree than before. 1t
is observed, first, that it is subject to par
oxysms Of excitement, in which it makes
often-repeated efforts to bite or gnaw all
objects (such as wood, straw, etc., within
its reach, while at the same time it con-
tinues to exhibit the tendency already
mentioned to devour its own excrement :;
and, secondly, even during the remissions
its excitement is at once renewed by the
sight or sound Of another dog.
1t may be we'll to note that the disease
occurs at all seasons, that the mad dog
continues to recognize its master and to
manifest pleasure when kindly spoken to,
that it does not shun water, and that in
many cases from first to last that wild fury
which is commonly supposed to belong to
the disease is conspicuously absent.

SymtOmS Of a Mad Dog.

We print the following from the
London Times for the benefit Of per-
sons who are anticipating the pleasure
of meeting with mad dogs during the
coming dog days. 1t will be conven-
lent to know how to recognize them
when met.
The premonitary Indications of rabies in
q dog are derived almost entirely from the
observation Of changes in it's demeanor: con-
sequently, although they may be too triflinp
to be noticed by casual observer. thew
are fortunately sufficiently striking to ar
rest the attention Of any one who is about
dog and is familiar with it's habits and
individual peculiarities.
A dog about to become rabid loses it's
natural liveliness. 1t mopes about as
if preoccupied or apprehensive, and seeks
withdraw into dark corners. q From the
first there is usually a foreshadowine of
that most constant symptom of the disease
-depraved appetite. Mad dogs not only
deyour NTH and rubbish Of every kind with
avldlty, but even their own excrement-
often Immediately after it has been passed.
Indications Of this tendency appear early,
and are more thaa suspicious
Along with this popularity Of behavior it
IS OF equal Importance to notice that an in

work less hardship to the debtor interest
than is likely to come from putting off the

in mind, that the credit interest had its

financial system was brought in by the su-

would further provide, that from and
after the date fixed for redemption, no bills,
whether Of National Banks or Of the United
States, returned to the Treasury to be exs
changed for new bills, should bereplaced
by bills of less denomination than $40,
and that in one year after resumption all
bills of less than SIS should be Withdrawn
from circulation, and in two years all bills
of less than $40 should be withdrawn. The
advantage of this would be the strength
given to the country against time of de-
preston resulting from war, failure Of crops
or any other cause, by keeping always in
the hands Of the people large supply of
precious metals. With all the smaller
transactions conducted in coin, many mil
lions of it would be kept in constant use,
and Of course prevented from leaving the
country. Undoubtedly poorer currency
will always drive better out Of circulation.
With pafer the legal tender. and at a dis
count, gold and silver become articles of
merchandise as much as wheat or cotton.
The surplus will find the best market it
can. With small bills in circulation there
there is no use for coin except to keep it
in the vaults Of banks to oredeem circulation.
During periods Of great speculation and
apparent prosperity there is little demand
for coin, and then it will flow out to mar
ket where it can be made to earn some .
thing, which it cannot do while lying idle.
Geld, like anything else, when not needed
becomes surplus, and, like every other
surplus, it

its presence can, it seems to me, be secured
and panics and depressions, which have oc-

Gle payments, if they cannot be wholly pre-
vented, can at least be greatly mitigated.
Indeed, 1question whether it would have
been found necessary to depart from the
standard Of specie in the trying days which
gave birth to the first legal tender act, had

| taxation where taxation can best be borne.
Increased revenue would work a
constant reduction Of the debt and interest,
| and would provide coin to meet the de-
mands on the Treasury for the redemption
| Of its notes, thereby diminishing the
| amount Of bonds needed for that purpose.
All taxes, after redemption begins, should
BE PAID IN COIN OR UNITED STATES NOTES.
This would force redemption on National
Banks. With measures like these, or
measures which would work out such re.
suits, I see no danger in authorizing free
banking without limits,

MEEDELssoHS CONCERT The theater
was filled with fashionable people last
night, on the occasion Of the presenta-
ton of the cantats, May Queen, by the
Mendelssohn Quartette Club, assisted
by the leading professional and amateur
vocalists and musicians of our city.
The music was fairly rendered, but the
cantata was too heavy to keep off weari-
ness from the audience. Monotony is
thing to be exercised if possible; in
music as at sea, everything that breaks
the monotony of the surrounding ex-
panse attracts attention. Many Of the
choruses were we'll and pleasingly rem
dered, as were also several of the solos,
duets and trios. The orchestral part of
the performance was somewhat faulty,
but still pleasing. As an amateur per-
formance, the cantata as rendered was
most creditable to the Mendelssohns and
their assistants.
