A Dental Rehearsal.

We know a young man in this
county" says the Walla Walla, W. T.,
Union, "who writes Dr. before his
name, and NJ. l.. after it, who, after
having, to his own satisfaction, master
ed the science of medicine and surgery,
has concluded to turn his attention to
practical dentistry. In order to enable
him to pull teeth without pain, he pro-
cured the head of sheep that adlately
been slaughtered, and repaired to the
brush along the bank OF a creek. When
thus secluded, as he supposed, from
prying eyes, he produced his forceps,
gently smoothed the sleeps face with
his hand, probably to inspire the pa
tient with confidence, then opened it's
mouth. laid firmly hold of a molar with
his tooth-hooks,' and gave surge
that brought out the tooth. He then
stepped back, wiped his forceps on the
seat of his pants, and said, in the most
soothing tones = Madame, did it hurt
you 2 A man who was fishing in the
creek, not twenty feet away, didn't hear
what the sheep said"

HVdr0DhOhia.

At the meeting of the French Acade-
my OF Sciences, on April Is, NJ. Bouley
laid before it a memoir by NJ. Bourrel,
a veterinary surgeon of Paris, entitled
a "OOmplete Treatise on Rabies in the
Dog and Cat, with a Method of Pre-
serving Oneself Against It." The
means of preserving from rabies. to
make known and disseminate the
knowledge of which is the principal
aim of this memoir, consists in taking
off the edge of the teeth of the dog by
the aid of nippers and files. NJ. Bourrel
had the daring to perform this opera
ton of filing down the teeth on three
dogs when they were in condition of
raging madness, notwithstanding the
danger Of incubation he incurred both
during the preliminaries and the diff
ferent stages of the process. Six dogs
kept for experiment, were then deliv-
cred over to the mad animals, who pre-
cipitated themselves on them and bit
them furiously, but without breaking
the skin on any one of them. The
dogs experimental on were watched
during six months, and madness did
not show itself IN any of the number
M. Bourrel, convinced that the blunted
tooth of the dog could not penetrate
through clothing, gave his hand, COW
cred with glove, TO one of the mad
dogs. When," he says, the dog re-
leased it the glove was intact, and the
bite had only produced a deep i'm
preston. This experiment, repeated
on dogs who were not mad, to which I
gave my naked hand to bite, proved to
me that the blunted tooth can but very
rarely, however great may be the con-
traction of the muscles of the jaw,
break the epidermis of animals, whose
hair, necessarily deadens the pressure
exerted, and can only injure the human
epldermls IN very exceptional cases."

A japanese Tragedy.

A dreadful quadruple nu eder al Kobe.
the scene of the crime being not more
than couple of hui. dred yards of the
Saibansho, is recorded by the Japan
Herald. The victims are Mr. Yamada,
his wife aid two children, one aged two
years, and the other an infant twenty
one days old, who were all butchered
in their sleeping apartment, room
about nine feet square. Mr.. Yamada
was we'll known and generally liked in
Kobe. He received a severe cut under
the left ear, severing the jugllar vein,
several slashes ofhis chest and stomach,
and his back was literally hacked to
pieces, his spine being cut through in
eight or nine places. From the appear
ance of his wounds it would seem he
struggled with his assailant, and was
set upon by another from behind. His
wife with an infant 81 days old in her
arms, had her right arm severed, and
her left wrist cut badly, frightful
cash from her foreheadto her chin, cut
ting out one eye, and cutting her head
in half, and slash that laid open her
left shoulder and fractured her SPINE
Her baby, apparently, was smothered
by her falling upon it, as the only
wound it has IS small cut on one of it's
toes. The other child, a little boy, had
his head entirely severed from his body,
and his right hand cut through the
middle, cutting off the thumb also; the
left hand had the first two fingers cut
off, What the motives of the murderers
were will probably never come to light,
unless the miscreants are caught and
confess, as the clothes Of the murdered
persons seem to have been overhauled
only. The assault must have been sud-
den and the strife Of short duration, as
the inmates Of the houses adjoining on
either side appear not to have heard
anything of an unusual nature. Many
Europeans employed on the railway also
live within stones throw, and heard
nothing of the affair until noon.

suberb of Hillsborough the place was
like battle field not that many had
been drowned on the spot, but those
drowned all up the valley by the flood
at it's highest, they had been brought
down and deposited in thick layer of
mud left by the abating waters. Some
were cruelty gashed and mangled by
the hard objects with which they came
in contact. Others wore q peaceful
expression, and had color in their
cheeks. One was lovely little girl,
with her hands before her face to keep
out the sight of death.
How near photograph are the above
details of the scene which occurred,
our readers can determine both from
the record in our dispatches and their
imagination of what the real calamity
must have been.

Penalties of Public Singers.

A fact little known to the public re-
garding the singing voice is, that al
most all vocalists' Threats are in chron-
ic state of Inflammation, or an approach
to it, which would be considered down
right soreness by anybody else. A
friend of mine, who is a prima donna,
goes through life with pair of red
swollen tonsils which would serve me
very nicely for the quinzy. Familiarity
in such cases breeds contempt, as the
proverb teaches, for the abnormally en-
larged tonsils create no disturbance in
my friends mind. She remarks that a
physician who was unacquainted with
artists throats would send her to bed if
he got a peep at hers. But it is seldom
necessary to caution the possessor of a
singing voice to vigilance in the care of
it; it is too precious possession to be
lightly guarded A voice which in the
money sense is equivalent to row of
brown stone fronts in Fifth avenue, Or I
know not how many oil wells in Penn
sylvania, will be treated with the ut
most respect by a wise possessor. I'm
fortunately, the singing voice is short
lived, if it be used. The exactions of
modern operas are SO destructive in
their effects, that it is calculated the
average duration Of freshness of
soprano voice is eight years, and of
tenor voice only six years. The bari
tone is somewhat harder, while base
voice will generally last lifetime;
though there are well-known instances
of once celebrated bassos who still walk
the earth in their manly physical vigor,
but sing no more.-Ihe GALAXY for

Swindling Trades-People in Paris.

Lucy 81. Hooker, writing from Paris
to the Philadelphia Press, says: T
still hear daily of cases of swindling at
tempted or achieved On unsuspicious
Americans by trades-people and hotel
keepers, and will try to warn my coun-
trymen against such impositions as fully
as possible. Among the last noted of
these affairs is that of gentleman who
wished to have photograph taken of
his library to send to the United States.
He went to a celebrated photographer
and engaged him to execute the task,
but, unfortunately without making an
agreement about the price beforehand.
The work was done, the photograph of
the single room was taken, and bill of
$500 francs (S500I was sent in, the first
item in which was a charge of 800 for
moving the apparatus from the photo
grapher's studio to the gentleman's
rooms. Of course he had to pay the
bill, as no agreement beforehand had
been made. In another instance
lady went into a well-known establish
ment to price some articles. The shop
girl, with great eagerness and empress
seme,at, insisted on showing and fitting
on number of things, but as the prices
were exorbitant the lady merely order
ed one or two trifing articles to be
sent her, with the bill, at Nice. When
the parcel arrived at Nice, it was found
to contain everything she had examined
Or tried on at the shop, besides the few
things she had really ordered. She
packed up the others, and sent them
back, butthey were returned to her with
very insulting letter, threatening le-
gal proceedings if she did not pay for
them at once. She was al elderly lady
and a timid woman, and a widow be-
sides, so rather than incur in her
unprotected state the trials and annoy
ances Of lawsuit in a foreign land, she
paid the bill and submitted to the I'M
position, which was just what her per-
secutor had expected. ..

The Maiden's Last Farewell.
IN THE DAY OF CREMATION.

IN THE DAY OF CREMATION.
Then the night on and we knew the worst
That the end of it all nigh;
Three doctors they had from the very first
And what could one do but die?
80, William" she cried, " strew no blossoms OF
spring,
For the apparatus might rust
But say that handful of shavings you'll bring,
And linger to see me combust. 81
And when nlourners and stokers convene,
You will see that they light me some solemn, SLOW
And warm then ag ainst kerosene.
1t would cheer me to know, ere these rude breezes
watt
My essences far to the pole,
That one whom love will look to the draft,
And have fond eye on the coal.
Then promise me, love y and her voice fainter
sWhile this body of mine calcifes.
You will stand just near as you can to the fue,
And gaze while my gases arise.
For Thomps on--sir Henry-has found out way,
(Of his process you've surely heard telD,
nd you burn like parlor-match gently away,
Nor even offend by smell.
So none of the dainty need snuff in disdain
When my carbon floats up to the sky;
And I'm sure, love, that you will never complain,
Though an ash should blow into your eye.
Now promise me, love and she murmured low
ssWhen the calcfcation is DER,
You will sit by my grave in the twilight glow
mean by my furnace door;
Yes, promise me, love, while the seasons revolve
On their noiseless axles, the years,
You will visit the kiln where you me resolve,
And leach my pale ashes with tears"

febrile condition soon results. The
blood is debased infammatory action,
congestion, and impaired secretion are
often followed by unnatural discharges,
and variety of troublesome disorders
supervene. Of these the most preva-
lent are bronchial affections, coughs
with copious nasal discharges, and
rheumatism. Sometimes these by
neglect become. chronic, and the
value of the animal affected is
greatly impaired. It is wisest to pre-
vent these i'll results by timely precau-
tons.
In the first place it is we'll not to
overwork any animal, nor to stint it in
it's supply of food. The increased APP
petite consequent upon harder work,
should be met with concentrated
rather than bulky food, for the stomach
cannot safely be overloaded when the
system is overloaded by labor. Diges-
ton should be aided by regular sup
plies of salt and an occasional tonic
consisting of a spoonful of ginger
with dram of sulphate of copper
(blue vitrioD. In the second place
when heated with work an animal
should not be left standing out of doors
exposed to sweeping shower, as is
frequently the case, while it's owner Or
driver shelters himself by the warm
stove. Many rheumatic cases are thus
caused, which come up suddenly, pro-
ducing great stiffness and lameness.
Such case came recently to my knowl-
edge, which being typical one, l here
record it's history:
A young horse had been driven until
he was heated, and was then brought
home in cold rain and placed in the
stable in the evening, without any at
tention being given to nina frequent
occurrence. In the morning the horse
was found in great pain, and unable to
rise in his stall. One fore-leg and
shoulder were very tender, and when
the horse was raised the limb was use
less, and he soon dropped again. Hot
water was applied to the limb and blan-
kets wrapped around it and stepped IN
hot water, which was renewed contlnu-
ally twenty-five drops of tincture Of
aconite root was given every four hours
until six doses were administered. A
soft bed was given, and the horse was
covered up with blankets. The next
morning he was able to rise alone, the
pain disappeared and in few days: hewas
recovered. Prompt treatment in this
case undoubtedly preventeda prolonged
attack, but it was wholly avoided by
timely care. Sudden checks to. free
perspiration are excessively dangerous
to both man and beast, and cannot do
better here than to reiterate this eau
ton, including along with the horse his
sometimes equally but self-injured
master
