HYDnoPHoBIA.- London Times,
in an article upon hydrophobia, says
that the stories about this disease oc-
curing seven years or twenty years
after bite are probably in most cases
fables and, if not fables, they at least
show that the disease may arise spon-
taneously f; but yet there is no certainty
with regard to the period of time at
which it can be said that all danger has
ceased. According to the best authori-
ties, when two months have elapsed
the person bitten by a rabid animal
may entertain a well-grounded hope Of
escape, and after ninety days the oc
currence of hydrophobia is almost ex-
ceptional.

WHY.-In an Irish paper was an adj
vertisement for horses to stand at livery
on the following terms: "Long-tailed
horses at 3s. Cd. per week short-tailed
horses at IS. per week. On inquiry
into the cause of the difference it was
answered that the horses with long tails
could brush the flies off their backs
while eating, whereas the short-tailed
horses were obliged to take their heads
from the Manager.

President M0Ainu.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
| writes the following political gossip from
the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs
1t is interesting:
Whilst the younger portion are busily
| engaged in conversation in the paror or
dancing in the ball room, the elder and
graver are discussing the condition of the
country upon the portic0s. or course,
the subject of the next candidate for the
Presidency is The most prominent topic,
and ii the sentiments of many of the
prominent and knowing Oues who have
visited the Springs this season. an d who
represent all sections of the country, can
be taken as an index of public opinion
then Governor Allen, of Ohio will be the
next choice of the democracy for the
Presidency of the United States. The
little excitement which existed for very
short period amongst our politicians of
the South In favor of Grant for third
term has entirely subsided, and the ad--
herents of that idea can now nowhere be
found. There are, perhaps, one half of
the States of the Union represented here.
and never before has there been the same
nnanimity manifested in regard to the
democratic nominee as exists among
these gentlemen. Governor Allen, Of
Ohio, seems, as have said, to have set
tied upon by ,hese as the standard bear
er.
He, they say, combines all the qualities
which the Democratic party require and
demand in the next campaign. A distin-
guished gentleman of the West furnishes
me short biography of him which
give you. Gov. Allen was born in North
Carolina, A. d., 1905, emigrated in boy
hood to I.ynchburg, Virginia, where he
learned the trade of saddler. When
about eighteen years of age, with no
wardrobe except what could be contain
ed in a cotton handkerchief, and which
embraced his whole worldly effects, he
crossed the Alleghanies on foot, and set
tied in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he has
thirty he was elected TO the House of
Representatives in Congress over Gov.
McAlthur, whose daughter he afterwards
married. In 1886 he was elected Sena-
tor in Congress, and reelected iD 1912.
lie Is the only member now living who
was in the Senate on his entrance into
that body. lie belongs to that old school
OF Democrats that ever made principle
their polar star.
His senatorial record furnishes evi
dence of his integrity, reliability and
craftsmanship. After a retirement of
twenty-five years, he is called to the
highest office the people Of Ohio could
give him, overcoming a majority of TWEEN
ty-five thousand votes. This gentleman,
or some one like him, will be the only
kind of candidate that will satisfy the
party in the next Campaign, as they are
tired and disgusted with experiments in
so grave and important matter. The
Democracy require no other platform or
plankS with such a candidate, and if
nominated, all Democrats and honest
Republicans,who equally desire a change
will rally around him. The wide and ex-
tensive circulation of the Sun throughout
the South and West has induced mt to
advise its readers of what at least is now
agitated by many distinguished citizens,
as well as politicians. SULPHUR.

A Trumpet Blast from ,Spur-
aeon.

Rev Charles Spurgeon, the eminent Bap-
tist preacher, recently preached one OF his
characteristic sermons in Accruigton, in
which he made a vigorous appeal to Chris.
tians to awake from the lethargy into which
they have fallen. The country was reapsing
into heathensm he said, and the churches
must bestir themselves. "You ministers
who have got to be fine and intellectual,
clear your throats and preach Jesus Christ
pull the velvet cut Of your mouths. ye gem
tlemen who use fine words, and speak 50
that the people can understand you; and
miad Christ and Christ crucitied. Yc Meth
odists who are getting to be very respectable
get to be as red hot as Methodists used to be:
ys Independents, be like the old Puritans !;
and ye Baptists, who seem to be damped
wish cold water or worn out, pray the Lord
TO baptise you with fire, and that will be the
very best thing that can happen you. Look
at your chapels, half full; your congrega-
tions, half asleep; and your preacher, often
reading from his book, not preaching at all,
or, when preaching, preaching as though he
were not awake much lower down than his
neck his heart asleep. and only his mouth
talking"

adjourned until this morning. The rel GU

The failure of Congress TO pass tile

measure, have, it is said, discouraged and
unnerved the co.ored voters of Virginia,
and while the white Conservatives of the
State, under the lead of Mosby and Gov.
Kemper, present the strange spectacle OF
preferring to support GrrnL for a third
term under certain contingencies, the
colored Republicans are surely, though
uncOnscionsly, perhaps, preparing to en-
ter into alliance offensive and defensive
with their old masters.-Pfess.

bit voraciously, hauling in four at once
all the time. One fish bit, tore himself
loose, and actually bit again, and was Sc
