The New York Times gives an idea in
the following of the course pursued by the
democracy of New York: There can
''be no doubt that what the democrats
cannot win by argument during this can
"vass. they expect to win by money. The
attempts of the World TO prove by the
multiplication table that Gen. Dix must
e ''be defeated this year, may not produce
much effect on democratic voters but
thousands of them are peculiarly sensi-
''tive to the gentle influence of ten or
"twenty dollar bill. Where the money
''has come from we do not know-but il is
"quite clear that the democratic Treasury
sin this State has lately been in uncom-
"monly good condition. The democrats
"are also working rather more quietly and
"more actively than usual, and we advise
"our friends everywhere to make note
"of that fact"

The Portland Advertiser is at its old
trick of trying to split the republican par
ty in the legislature and effect a coalition
with the democrats for the election of
United States Senator We should think
the humiliating defeat of the Advertiser at
this game when Senator Morrill, was last
elected would be sufficient to teach it bet
ter than to try its hand against like
scheme. The Advertiser is wolf in
sleeps clothing doing its best under the
pretense of being a republican paper OF
playing into the hands of the democracy.
Fortunately the republicans of Maine I'M
derstand it. We shall see the republican
members of the legislature acting in har-
mony in the caucus next winter, as they
have in times past, the minority yielding
gracefully and loyalty to the majority. and
all supporting in good faith the decision
of the caucus.

named Jones of Smoky ,iiountaiu, who for
some years past has been uoing an illicit
sus,ness in whisky manufacturing. lie had
been hunted from place to place until
tlaally he located securely in n mountain
recess four miles from his residence, visit
ing his family once a fortnight. Oseistaying
tine time of his periodical visit, his wife,
with some of his ne'ghbors, visited the
se cret locality ofhis dislillery. On reach
ing the bniltllng the door WIS found bolted,
and no sign OF Jones or any ono could be
seen. But upon attempting TO force an en-
trance they wero greeted with those pc
culiar notes OF warning which the ear Of
The East Tennessee mountaineer never
fails to recognize. The door was at once
broken down, and sight met them that
caused all TO start with fright and horror.
The form Of the distiller lay upon the floor,
with eyes starting from their sockets. the
features horribly distorted, and body swol-
len TO twice its usual proportions, while
the whole interior Of the building was alive
with rattIesnakes, soms in coil aud ready
for battle, but the larger proportion stupid
and inert, az though they had been imbib-
ing literally of the illicit fruit OF the still.
As 1t was impossible to rescue the body Of
Jones without incurripg fearful risk, it
was determined to reclose the entrance
and other aperIures, and fire the building,
which was done.

REMARKABLE CASE OF HyDRopHoBfA- .
DEATH OF A LlTTLs GIRL IN Chicago
A remarkable case OF death in hydrophobia
occurred in Chicago Saturday. The last
week in Jnue small terrier dog, owned
by John Solhtt, who lives on Western
avenue, suddenly became lazy and irriti-
bic, and one day as Mra. Solli,t's little
daughter, LetIie, attempted 10 put him ia
kennel he biz her on the cheek, drawing
blood. The dog was soon after killed, ON
account Of his temper. The wound caused
no alarm, and soon healed, but last We'd
nesJay Lettie was seized with sickness,
which gradually increased until Saturday;
her face grew livid, her breathing became
irregular; she frothed at the mouth, and
with her body wreathiog with commissions,
died. The case was deemed remarkable
because it disproves the theory of DR..
Hammond's disciples that children do not
die Of hydrtphobia, and because death
ensued in this case much sooner than
usual.

A CRUEL HUSBAND.

lady of Croton who had some troubl,
with her husband determined to punish
him. She had read in the papers of the
revenge of Pennsylvania woman whose
husband had struck her, and she deter
mined to initiate that females action
When the Pennsylvania woman was struck
she threw herself into tragic attitude
/ and exclaimed: Villain nothing but
death can wipe away the stain of you1
! blow ~ Then she rushed out of the house,
ran to the canal, and throwing her hat
and shawl on the bank flung in a big
stone, which made loud splash She
then hid in the bushes and watched with
demonicism for her husband and party
of friends graphing for her body. When
she thought she had sufficiently punished
her lord she made her appearance, and was
received by him with demonstrations of
JOY and he begged her forgiveness, took
her home, and promised to be kind and
loving to her forever.
The other day the Croton woman had a
battle royal with her husband. He didn't
strike her, he was to manly for that-but
he said such irritating things that she was
driven to madness. "Inhuman monster ~
she shrieked. 81 will never again rest
beneath this roof. The river bed shall be
my tomb-its waters my winding sheet"
Out she rushed to the river. which ran a
quarter of mile from the house, threw
her handkerchief on the bank-she had
neither hat nor shawl on-and then she
flung into the clear water large stone.
This done, she hid in some trees and await.
ed the coming of the remorse-stricken
husband. She continued to wait for about
eight hours but the remorseful man didn't
come. Horrible thoughts began to agitate
her mind. Perhaps he had killed the
children and then committed suicide.
She could not bear the suspense longer
1t was dark now, and she quietly stole to
the house. There were lights in it, and
everything looked as CHEEKY and pleasant
as usual. She crept to the window and
looked in. There sat the remorse- stricken
husband with his arms around the waist
of young lady neighbor, and he was
saying: "Jennie, the old woman got her
back up to-day, and she went off and
drowned herself. Now, you see, 1 don't
want to break up housekeeping, and if
you'll get hitched in two weeks. What do
you say9"
"She shan't do anything of the sort
and neither will you, you miserable, un-
feeling, heartless wretch - came from the
! wife as she dashed into the room. For a
few minutes Jennie was tossed and tum-
bled about by the undrowned woman in
the most horrid manner, and when Jennie
retired from the house she looked as
though she had been through carding
machine.
The Croton woman doesn't intend try
ing any more sensational experiments on
her husband, but will hereafter do all her
fighting in the old fashioned way. 1t
need hardly be mentioned that her hus-
band is not living in state of perfect and
unalloyed beatitude at present.
