The Skunk Dangerous Animal.

Another animal has been added to
the list of those known to communicate
hydrophobia by their bite. A communi-
cation made by the Rev. II. G. Hovey
to the May number of the American
Journal of Science, contains an array of
facts proving that the skunk, which is
already in such bad odor that it is I'M
namable to ears polite, deserves still
deeper opprobrium from its tendency to
rabies. 1t is no longer to be recognized
as simply one of the most disa-
greeable of quadrupeds; henceforth it
must be reckoned as also one of the
most dangerous. Mr.. Hovey has shown
that the saliva of the skunk is naturally
poisonous, OF that it is often rendered
so by disease. In any case its bite is
fatal, engendering that awful and in
curable disease, hydrophobia. Persons
living in regions inhabited by the ami
NAL should be on their guard when ex-
posed to its attacks.
The skunk is a native of America,
and is found from shore to shore of the
continent. The number of species has
not been determined, but there are
probably several. The common skunk
is about the size of a cat, of a black or
dark color, striped along the
back with white. 1t burrows in the
ground, and feeds on mice, frogs, in
sects, fruits, etc. 1t will suck hens
eggs, and sometimes enter houses to
rob store Its fur is popular
under the name of Alaska sable.

Poisonous COmfitS.

In Mr.. Atcherley's receipt book, ex-
posing some of the present practices in
adulterating food, he states that whiten-
ing, plaster of Paris, and terra-alba
form the basis of many comfits and
" dragees," which should consist of
flour and sugar only. Prussic acid may
be found IN many sweetmeats and
havorings where impure oil of bitter
almonds or nitro benzol has been used
to convey the tastes of noyeau, bitter
almonds, cherry and peach kernels, etc.
The colorlng materials are either paint
ed on the surface or are diffused
throughout the mass of the article I'M
der treatment. Prussian blue has been

lutte lgnoramuses-apo pigment:
but there is no evidence that it is really
regarded as such. Thus an analysis

the following description Of a "baby

A Weasel's Stratagem.

An exchange gives the following ac-
count of weasel's stratagem, with the
suspicious remark that it is vouched
for by friend A grist mill was in
tested with large rats until weasel
came there and destroyed nearly all of
them. There was however one large
rat which he could not conquer. They
had several pitched battles in which
the rat whipped the weasel, until when
ever the rat appeared the weasel would
seek safety in flight They were
watched for several days, when the
weasel was observed to be digging a
hole in the earth under a pile of lGm-
Der. After he had completed it he ap
preached the mill and the rat came al
ter him as unual. He made some show
to fight until he got the rat interested
and then ran into his hole. The rat
followed, when the weasel was seen to
come out at the other end of the hole
and run in at the entrance after the
rat. Subsequent examination proved
that the weasel had made the hole large
enough for the rat to enter, but had
contracted the other end so that he
could not get out. Having thus trap
ped his antagonist, the weasel took him
III the rear, and thus easily conquered
him.

SENATOR SCHURZ

Senator Schurz recently addressed a
meeting in ST. Louis, called to ratifv
the ticket nominated by the Peoples
Party of Missouri. He reserved for a
future occasion the expression of his
views on questions of national concern;
and merely indicated his approval of
the Independent movement, and prom
ised his support to its candidates. The
attitude of the new party in regard to
the finances is not all he desires, vet
it is encouraging. The party may be
considered ''on the fence" in this re-
spect, and the Senator will do all he
can to bring it down on the right side.
He denied that the Reform mavement
was part of scheme to secure his re-
turn to the Senate, and asserted that
he scrupulously held aloof from it in
the beginning that it might not be in
terpreted as means to personal ends.

STANLEY's EXPEDITION INTO CENTRAL

his new exploring expedition into Cen
trail Africa. Some of the apparatus he
takes with him is Of bis own contriv-
ing; notably, a boat for Lake service,
weighing 400 pounds and capable OF
carrying sixty men. His outfit will be
a very perfect one, and will include
instruments sufficient for scientific
purposes. He has spent all the time
he could get since the expedition was
resolved on III studies Of scientific
methods and of theuse of Instruments
This will enable HIM to make an accu-

EFFECT OF IMPROVED ARMS IN WAR

The French War Office has worked
out the statistics of the question of
the effect on losses in battle of i'm
proved firearms. and the following are
some of the results: At the battle of
Friedland the French lost fourteen per
cent. and the Russians thirty per cent.
of their troops, and at Wagram the
French lost thirteen per cent and the
Austrlans fourteen per cent. At Mos
COW the French lest thirty three per
cent. and the Russians forty-fo per
cent. Again, at Waterloo the French
lost thirty six per cent. and allies
thirty per cent. of theirforces engaged.
Forty years later, when the new wea
pons were employed, the loss of the
French at Magenta was seven per cent.
that OF AGstrians the same. At Softer
inc the French and Sardinians suffered
a loss o. Ter per cent. and the Austri
ans of only eight per cent.

Wall Streets Forgotten Names.

AS 1 stand in Wall street after the
lapse Of these ten years (Which does not
seem one-quarter that time), [ look
around and call these once powerful
names-but no one answers. Where is
the once mighty Leonard Jerome? His
name is almost forgotten in the scene
of his former triumph. He lost all his
splendid fortune and is now supported
by his wife. Ketchum is poor, is get
ting his living from hand to mouth.
LIE Grand Lockwood lost every dollar,
and his splendid picture gallery was
sold at auction for the benefit of his
creditors. The Norwalk palace went in
the same manner. Its owner died in
debt and overwhelmed by misfortune,
though not but a short time previously
he was worth a million. Dimmick, who
built palace in New Jersey, has gone
to ruin, and out OF half million hardly
a dollar is left. AS for Morse, who
created such an astonishing sensation
and who was the model after which so
many shaped their course, he fills dis
tant grave He was the creation of that
time of bubbles. Essentially inferior
in intellect and morals, and peculiarly
dishonest, he succeeded in placing him
self high in the confidence of his ac-
quaintances, and decoyed them to put
their money in his hands, whence it
never returned. Without any talent
except "cheek" he kept Wall street in
ferment, and led the stock exchange
in it's ridiculous outbiddings, trod his
upward path on the bubbles of the day.
and then sank to ruin They are all
gone The street and the buildings re-
main; but when one exclaims, ''Where
are the former kings of the stock mar
ket?" echo answers where? During
the interval a new race of operators
have come and gone-some to bank
ruptcy and others to the grave. The
chief of these was jim Fisk, who was
the author of Black Friday, time of
financial distress such as has seldom
been equaled, excepting the late panic.
Black Friday was simply an attempt to
corner gold and advance its value, in
order, as Fisk subsequently said, to
raise the value OF western produce and
assist freights on the Erie road. Like
many other corners, it failed, and he
lost heavily, which, indeed, he richly
deserved. Fisk was then great man
in Wall street, but he has disappeared,
and now his career seems like dream.
There is the opera house, the splendid
equipage, the lavish luxury of his life,
and his voluptuous paramount, and then
the bloody end and the empty display
of the funeral-all passed, and we do
not want To see its ike again
