RARITY OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Opinions of an Experienced Veterinary
Surgeon.

Dr. Edward s Smith, an old and expert
enced veterinary surgeon, has given the fol-
lowing opinion about hydrophobia, its causes
and its preventives:
when a person has been bitten by
mad dog it is generally thirty or forty days
before any development of the disease is
perceptible, or he becomes affected with the
disease. The first symptoms of hydrophobia
are as follows the bitten part becomes very
painful, and the whole system begins to be
affected The wounded part becomes hard
and elevated and sharp pains shoot from
it through the entire system to the brain.
''The terror of having it is altogether
out of proportion to the danger of taking
it. The actual danger, in fact of having
hydrophobia, is not fiftieth part so great
as of being struck with lightning, about
which people have, comparatively, but very
little concern And our advice to all who
may be bitten by dog, and who wish to
avoid all bad results therefrom, is to have
the bitten part laid open by the knife to
the very bottom as soon as possible after
the accident has happened, and to
thoroughly cleanse the parts with a strong
solution of table salt and water. After
drying the parts well, cauterize the wound
with nitrate of silver, and be sure you get
to the bottom of the wound with your
caustic. Wet the diseased part several
times day with strong solution of crude
carbonic-acid. The sooner this is done,
the safer the patient and if properly done
soon after the bite, the success will be
almost certain, and the patient need have
no apprehensions of the consequences.
Having been bitten by dogs myself several
times during my veterinary practice, and
knowing of several other persons who have
been-bitten by dogs when sick, L have
treated them in the manner here described.
No bad results whatever have ever occurred
therefrom.
ssProf Butler, | believe, did not die of
hydrophobia, but Of lockjaw, or tetanus.
Tetanus is generally developed in from
eight to twelve days after the wound Is
received, or the injury which is the cause
of it. 1t may, however, arise from lrrltat-
ino substances in the stomach, and
exposures to cold while the pores are open
and the body is in a protuse persplratlon
| The locklaw is much more frequent IN warm
! than cold weather.
'sIf we set apart one case out of every
hundred of cases reported as canine mad
ness. we should over-estimate the number
of animals suffering from this form and
| character of disease. The animal is suffer

brain. The cause of this abnormal state OF
the. brain is the want of proper hygieni'
care; their food has been scanty and IL
most cases putrid, or else the dogs have
been unable to procure water, and they
must suffer at the hands of street rough'
of all ages. What can we expect from thl

The humbug of giving chromos to IN

well hit off in the following from the FL

COunterfeiting.

The report of the labors of the United
States Secret Service Division shows that
even in this advanced age the counterfeit
ing industry-for such it would seem to be
has kept pace with all the improvements
of modern engraving. The following is
list of implements captured from 1869 to
1874:
Twenty-eight complete sets of dies,
swedges and molds for counterfciting gold,
silver and nickel coins-mainly twenty-five
and ffty-cent silver coins, and one, two
and a half, three, five and twenty dollar
gold coins.
Eighteen complete sets of steel plates for
counterfeiting the Lincoln head, Goddess
of Liberty head, Spinner head and postal
tractionl currency.
Five sets of plates for counterfeiting
United States coupon bonds
Seven complete sets of plates for coun-
terfeiting internal revenue, tobacco, beer,
and proprietary stamps; one of the latter
capable of producing 420 different subjects.
and of defrauding the Government of
100000 annually.
Seventeen complete sets of steel plates
for counterfeiting the greenbacs, Legal ten
der, and national bank notes
Ten complete sets of steel transfer-roIlers
and bed-pieces for multiplying counterfeit
plates. Also large quantity of unfinished
plates, vignettes, pieces Of lathe-work, &c,
all designed for the purpose of counterfeit
ing the currency and securities Of the
United States
Twenty-three presses for printing coun-
terfeit money were alse captured, together
with an amount of counterfeit money esti-
mated at about one million of represer a.
tive dollars.

him for forgery, and showed him his official
papers. His baggage was then examined,
and in the hustle of Mrs. Esser about
$500 in crisp Bank of England notes was
found. The wife is said to be beautiful
woman, native of Russia, and has been a
resident for some time in Essex street,
near the county Jail, New York. Her
father fell in the late civil war in this
country A handsome music box, which
cost some e40 in London, was also re
covered. The following morning the ex-
tradition papers of Esser were duly pre-
pared. He consented to waive examina-
ton before the United States Court, and
to 90 back, on the steamer Minnesota, to
Liverpool His wife and four children
were placed in hotel, while he was kept
in custody till the Liverpool steamer started.
News has been received by telegram that
he has been delivered to the officers of Bow
street Police court, London. His family
went with him. No news has yet been
received of the whereabouts of his ac-

solo, butis dexterously checked by his
mother swabbing his voice with sponge.
The manner in which a stream of soapy
water is represented running down in the
urchin's right eye IS very finely done. Into
the other eye is thrown all the added emo
ton and pent-up grief end sorrow that
knows no tongue" We defy any man to
see this picture without being stirred to
his inmost depths Mrs. Snooks' face is a
study. 1t is such an expression of mo-
therly love, house-wifely zeal, and beauti-
full devotion to duty, as can be likened to
nothing except that seen upon the face of
our mothers on washing-days and at house
cleaning times
Three of the children have already been
washed. Their rosy countenance, bright
with exuberant health, have been further
heightened by the art of the limner, who
has depicted them suffering with colds as
one result of their baths. At the same
time their complexion forms an agreeable
contrast to the three behind the tub who
have not yet been bathed. This is finely
done and cost world of labor.
The whole forms an agreeable contrast
to the naked cherubs sent out by the reli-
gious press. 1t is a domestic scene, full of
holy joy, and tranquilized by sweet and
dream-like peace.
In order to delicately convey the idea
that even in so perfect home as this, sor-
row must enter, the artist has depicted one
of the children suffering with the measles.
The way in which the measle blotches are
struggling with the Dirt on the nose, hay

of the best things in the chrome line that

Midnight Capture of FOrger.
NEW ESE For 4 RrSTLE.

About the middle of June a telegram
was received in this city from Messrs.
Mullens, a well-known law firm of the city
of London, addressed to Messrs Burrill
Dawson & Burrill, lawyers in this city
stating that fugitive from justice, named
Alfred Esser had left Southampton by the
German steamer Neckar, bound for New
York, under an alias, and giving descrip-
ton of the man, who it was supposed was
accompanied by his wife. Further details
were subsequently received stating that the
forger in question had been the confidential
clerk of large seed merchant i'll London,
and had committed forgery to the extent
of 81, 900 $4,000 on the banking firm of
Glyn, Mills & Co., in Lombard street,
London, by drawing check upon them
for the sterling amount above mentioned,
which was paid, and subsequently found
to be forgery. The case was placed in
the hands of Detective Pinkerton, who
sent down one of his agents, named Davies,
to discover, if possible, the forgers alias
when he arrives upon the Neckar, and to
arrest him and recover all the property he
could Davies was accompanied by United
States Deputy Marshal Robinson. AT
midnight, on the 18th of June, the Neckar
came to an anchor in the Quarantine
grounds Detective Davies and the United
States Marshal went on board. The former
after conversing with several of the officers
came to the conclusion that "a. Becker
was the man he wanted. He accordingly
knocked at a. Beckers'' cabin door but
finding the room empty, went on deck
where, the individual being pointed out
officer Davies walked up to him, and
slapping him on the shoulder, said, "Esser

APPLES.

With US the use of the apple as an article
of food is far underrated Besides contain
ing large amount of sugar, mucliage and
other nutritive matter, apples contain vege-
tables acids, aromatic qualities, etc, which
act powerfully in the capacities of refriger-
ants, tonics and antiseptics, and when free
ly used at the season of mellow ripeness,
they prevent debility, indigestion, and avert,
without doubt, many of the ills which
flesh is heir to- The operators of Corn
wall, England, consider ripe apples as
nourishing as bread, and far more so than
potatoes. In the year lS01-which has a
year of much scarcity-apples instead of
being converted into cider, were sold to the
poor, and the laborers asserted that they
could stand their work on baked APPLES
without meat whereas potato diet re-
quired either meat or some other substan-
tkl nutriment. The French and Germans
use apples extensively so do the inhabi-
tants of all European countries. The la
borers depend upon them as an article of
food, and frequently make dinner of sliced
apples and bread There is no fruit cook
ed in as many different ways in our country
as apples, nor is there any fruit whose
value, as an article of nourishment, is so
great and so little appreciated

Swiss Delicacies.

In Switzerland there is certain dish, at
the sight of which we have seen British
matrons shudder and a bronzed pater-
famt2iGs turn pale, perhaps from peculiar
parental instinct, for it cannot be denied
that marmot, when served at table, is
rather suggestive of plat which is now,
we believe, the exclusive privilege of some
South Sea Islanders and few curious gour-
NETS in the interior of Africa. But this
feeling of dislike, however it arise, should
certainly be overcome, for your marmot is
most excellent creature. 1t is vastly like
sucking-pig, but has gamey flaver, and is,
of course, more mature. In the reign Of
the great landlord-chef, Herr Wellig, at
the Eggischorn, marmot was almost al
ways to be obtained if due notice was given,
and one of our last recollections of that
most excitable gentleman connects itself
with a specimen which had been procured
for our special delectation. Certain letters
arriving, rendered it necessary to leave
some two hours before the pretty beast
could be served. Though our grief was
great, we knew how to practice resignation !;
but Herr Wellig placed no control upon
his feelings He raved, he tore his hair,
he cursed the letters, cursed the postman,
cursed, we fear, the poor marmot himself,
while with the next breadth he lauded him
to the skies rs the finest, the fattest, and,
altogether, quite the most perfect marmot
he had ever seen. But alas the separ-
ton was inevitable ; we left him bathed in
tears, ourselves with saddened hearts. He
probably consoled himself eventually by
eating the luscious dish intended for us ;
if so, he must have forgiven us for what
he denounced as a base desertion. Noman
could eat abundantly of roast marmot with
out feeling profoundly benevolent to all
mankind. Another strange and delightful
dish once fell to our lot in the land of
glaciers, but it was and remains shrouded
in mystery. We were staying at a noun
tain inn in the neighborhood of the ST.
Gothard, not very remarkable for the good
ness or the abundance of its supplies, when
one day dish was handed around which
met with the loud approval of all, though
none could put name to It, We appealed
to the grotcsque hoyden who waited, and
who went by the name of Chfgnon from

Alpine Club to bestow upon her his wealth
