Successful Treatment Of Hydrophohia.

The New York Tribune gives a
Northumberland case of cure of hy-
drophobia. A MIR. Burt True, of Flint,
Michigan, was bitten by a rab,d dog in
May, 1871. The animal left the i'm
press of several teeth in the center of
his right hand. The wound was eau
terized about twelve hours afterward.
1t healed kindly, but in January, 1872,
well-marked symptoms of hydrophobia
developed themselves, and DR.. AFFORD
was sent for. The following course of
treatment was pursued: One grain of
morphia sulphas was injected under the
skin every four hours, and half a
drachm of castor oil was given per
orena, mixed with strip. The effect
was the alienation Of commissions and
repose, when, two days thereafter, Sun
day morning, the patient was wrapped
in wollen blanket saturated with
warm solution OF murlate OF ammonia.
Except the occasional Inhalation of
small quantities of chloroform, the en-
tire treatment has been given Vomi-
ting proved troublesome for several
days, but on Monday the patient be,
came comparatively quiet and grad
ually convalesced from that time. Dr..
AFFORD had treated similar case with
the same result some time previous.
During the commissions. the patient
would seize the pillows with his teeth,
shake and tear them like an angry dog,
and the strength Of FIVE men was re-
CURED to hold him.

PARTING.

II thou dost bid thy friend farewell ~
But for one night though that farewell may be,
Press thou his palm with thine. How canst thou tell
How far from thee. ~
Fate or caprice may lead his feet -s
Ere that tomorrow comes? Men have been known
To lightly turn the corner of sti eet,
And days have grown "a
To months, and months to tagging years,
Before they looked in loving eyes again
Parting at best is underlaid with tears
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come between,
Or time or distance, clasp with pressure true
The hand of him who goeth forth unseen
Fate goeth too
Yea, find thou always time to say
Some earnest word between the IDLE talk
Lest with the henceforth, ever night and day, q
Regret should walk.

THE TUsCUMBIA TRAGEDY.

THE PARTICULARS OF THE SHOOTING BY con-
GRESHAM sLOSS-THE PUBLIC OPINION
CONCERNING THE DEED.
The shooting of Mr.. Long at Tuscumbis,
Alabama, by congressman Sloss, was lately
given and the following additional particu-
lars are given by correspondent writing to
the Memphis Appeal: More than year
ago George f. Long, of this place, began to
evince show of affection for Miss Sloss, the
youthful and attractive daughter of the
present member OF congress from this dis
trict. When Mr.. SlOSs discovered the facts
he objected to any intercourse whatever be-
tween his daughter and the young gentle
man. The latter was deeply incensed, and
accustomed to denounce the father and as
sert unworthy acts on the. part of the
daughter. His language was such, ana his
assertion was so commonly known, that the
pretty girl had withdrawn from society and
led life of perfect seclusion. Meanwhile
the father was in Washington. He came
home Friday afternoon, and heard the whole
story from his family and friends. Long
was advised to leave Tuscumbia, and SAID
to-day, just before he was shot, while sitting
in front of Aydlett's Hotel, "that he never
expected to spend another SabbOth in Tus.
cumhia," He never will. Rising from his
seat he went into the bar-room drank glass
OF ale, and sauntered along leisurely down
the sidewalk. lie Lurn60 10 the rlSuG, ana
was going toward his home, and at the very
instant that he touched his hat and bowed
to friend approaching him, a gun was fired
from the second-story window of Warren's
store, on the opposite side of the street, and
Long fell, two buckshOt penetrating his
body, one passing through his neck, but
falling to touch the artery, and fourth en-
tering the skull just behind the left ear. He
fell, bleeding pIofusely. Even row broad
blackened mark of blood extends across the
brick sidewalk. and stains the sand in the
gutter. Long was soon removed to his
home, and DR.. Abernathy, and other sur
geons sent for, but their skill can avail
nothing. The young man is surely dying.
he said just now that he thought he was
shot by young Warren, a nephew of Col
Sloss, but since it was Col. Sloss himself, it
was "all right Nothing could justify

rendered TO General Butler. Mr.. Shepherd,
Mr.. Richardson and other eminent gentle
men, whose public services have entitled
them to the rest and relaxation or a
voyage of this kind. Parties desiring to
make the round trip Will have extra accom-
mediation. The entire voyage will be compile
ted and the passengers landed in New York
again on the Nth day of December, 1901.
This is, at least, forty years quicker than
any other comet can do it in. Nearly all
the back-pay members contemplate making
the round trip with us in case their constit-
uents will allow them a holiday. Every
harmless amusement will be allowed on
board, but no pools permitted on the
run of the comet--nO gambling of any kind.
All fixed stars will be respected by us,
but all stars as seem to need fixing we
shall fix. If it makes trouble we shall be
sorry, but firm. Mr.. Coggia having leased
his comet to us, she will nolonger be called
by his name but by my partners. n. B.
Passengers by paying double fare will he

moons, comets, meteors and magazines of
thunder and lightning we shall discover.
Patent medicine people will take notice that
we carry bulletin boards and a paint
brush along for use in the constel-
lations, and are open to terms. Gre
mationists are reminded that we are
going straight tO-sOme hot places-and are
open to terms. To other parties our enter
prise is pleasure excursion, but individu-
ally, we mean business. We shall fly our
comet for all 1t is worth. For further par
ticulars, or for freight or passage, apply on
board or to my partner, but not to me,
since do not take charge of the comet until
she Is under weigh. It is necessary, at a
time like this, that my mind should not be
burdened with small business details.

The New York Tribune says: Recently
the venerable and kind hearted Thurlow
Weed, while rummaging about some of the
old bookstores and print shops of Nassau
street, accidentally fell upon a photographic
portrait of Horace Greeley. It had been
taken in the earlier days of the great editor,
and though crude, was an excellent like
ness. Mr.. Weed purchased it at once, and
carried it over to the Aston House, where
he showed it to his old friend Colonel Chas.
A. Stetson. After gazing at it for some min
utes, with so much emotion that the tears
came TO his eyes and ran down his cheeks
the veteran said with broken voice: "That
is exactly his look as it when I knew
him thirty years ago. II l had not forgiven
him in my heart and asked to be forgiven
before he died L should forget all the differ
ences that have been between US, as / look
on this sweet, honest, noble face ofthe man
whom have SO sincerely honored and truly
loved. That face calls back all the past and
makes me see, as haYe never seen before,
that genuine friendship for good and
true man is worth all the empty glory the
world can give"

had been done the day Col. Sloss reached
home, there would have been never a ques-
ton as to the propriety of his conduct. He
had the perfect right, it is argued, and
properly. to regard the man savage wild
beast who traduced his daughter, and if he
killed Long as soon as he was satisfied the
girl had been assailed by the breath of SIAN
der, there is an end to it. In any event
Sloss need never fear a jury, one of its
members having daughter. If Sloss had
taken the gun into the street and gone
through the form of telling Long to "de-
fen6" himself there would never have been
even the form OF a trial. But we can't rea-
son about matter of this Sort He who
wrongs a woman's fame deserves death,
and that's the proper verdict of juries and
OF mankind. Mr.. Long was often told that
he should leave Tuscumbia before Sloss
came home. He had at length agreed to go
away. and in this he confessed his guilt and
admitted the propriety of Col Sloss' conduct.
Long was wholly fearless, and it was only
because III geo to do so by his friends, of
whom he had may here, that he had con-
sented to leave Tuscumbia. His father and
kindred are excellent people, and it is only
said of the young man and in derogation of
his worth that he has been a village-idler
for some months. An idler will talk too
much. and, if be habitually airs his elo-
quence in front of the corner-grocery, there
is often death and damnation in very inno-
cent words that bubble up from fountains
of whisky. Long NAV die within the hour
in which he was Shot, and within which this
is most hurriedly written, and he may
survive one or two, or even three days. No
vital organ is touched, but die he must.
Such wounds in such weather must prove
fatal. Col Sloss is i'm charge of the sheriff,
and one of his deputies occupies the room
from which he fired upon Long. Desperate
deeds have distinguished the spot where
Long fell. Bayless Morton, even there, on
the self-same sidewalk, shot Mr.. Anderson:
a negro was killed on the same identical
spot, and man was stabbed to death 100
yards away, and the bloody knife of the
assassin was .found hard by. These were
incidents of the devilish period of internal
Reconstruction" and it is only singular
that Long fell on this fatal spot.
