An article in the American Jour
nal of Science and Arts, presents
the unpleasant animal called the
skunk in q new attitude. It ap-
pears that at the West these crea
lures have a habit of biting people
at times, and that the bite always
results in hydrophobia. A large
number of cases are cited in illus
tration. The hydrophobia produced
by other animals is much less fatal
than that from the skunks. From
this it is possible to infer that the
disease originated by these animals,
and they have transmitted it to
others it's power being, as always,
lessened by transmission. They
are it's originaters. Then to carry
out suggestion offered i'll the
article, it is noticeable that the
odorous secretions of the skunk,
when administered in proper guam
titles, have very beneficial effect
upon all sorts of convnlsive trouble
and attacks of that kind. The in
ference is then made that the liquid
is an antidote for the poison of the
bite, and the idea is thrown out
that in the skunk the scource and
cure of hydrophobia may be stimuli
taneously discovered, if any scien-
tifc person feels inclined to wrestle
with a problem of such innate
strength.

At the present time there are but
slight rewards for efficient, conscien-

held to be far above the generality of

is SO contemplate a bodyas some vul-
lures and vampires Of the press would
have us believe, that body ought to be
wiped out of existence at once. There
are to-day men in Congress from our
Western States who will one OF these
days arrive at high positions of honor
and usefulness,-if they are sustained
at home,-but aspirants are already
following in their track, and swapping
at their heels, some of whom may sue
ceed in winning their places at the
next election, to be in turn held up to
the most yirulent detraction, and after

A fastidious man from abroad
and q local mine owner sat opposite
each other at dinner in Virginia
City, and the Enterprise gives this
version of their conversation:
Dundreary-"Deah me. this is
disgusting holding up his knife
and gazing fixedly at the point]!
This is eithaw the second or the
third hair-I think it is the third
that I've found in this buttahr'
"Comstocker-"You've not been
here long, I Judge; otherwise you
would not have complained oil hair
it the butter" Dundreary-"Not
complain of hair in the buttah!
You surprise me, sir. How could
I do otherwise" Comestocker-
''Those hairs, sir, are just as ma
tural to Washoe butter as butter is
the natural product Of milk. They
are just as good and just as clean
as the butter. All our butter
comes from the great valleys of our
State, where fourishes that most
nutritious and truley wonderful plant,
the white sage. On this our cattle
feed and fatten. This white sage
has many virtues. Strange as il
may appear to you, sir, from the
white sage is manufactured a most
wonderful and popular hair restor-

where all the COWS feed on the
white sage, do you think it likely
that the butter will be bald headed?'

In their late convention, the
Democracy Of this State savagely

arraigned Senators Morton and

years ago this party, headed then
a. now by Mr.. Hendricks, support

who, less than ninety days previous
to his nomination, said:
81 trust that the day il not far
distant when their 1.-THE black mans
common rights to any public con-
veyance and in public meetings and
institutions will be recognized, as
they we're not recognized Of old,
and as they are but imperfectly
recognized still. I hope the time
will come when our educational in
situations and seminaries will be
opened to men of all races, with a
freedom, with q hospitality, which
has never yet been enjoyed. I
trust the time will come when no
mans color will exclude him from
any church or any religious organ
ization whatever. So then, I say
with regard to our common schools,
where q rural district contains but
twenty-five or thirty families, it is
simply impossible, where two or
three of those are colored, to have
separate schools; and. in those
cases, to say that black children

children is to say that they shall

The Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-
Secretary of the Treasury, now en-
gagged in Banking in London, is
visiting his former home at Fort
Wayne, in this State. He was
interviewed by q reporter of the
Fort Wayne Sentinel, few days
ago upon the financial questions of
the day, and expressed the belief
that the new financial bill will have
but little effect upon the business
interests OF the country. He de-
nounced the policy advocated in
the Democratic platform, of paying
the 5-2Os in greenbacks as step
toward reputation and national
dishonor, and regards the oppo
sition to the National banks as un-
wise, and says the system should
not be abandoned until a better
one is devised. He prefers the
bank notes over the greenbacks, as
q circulating medium. Mr. Nc
Culloch was an old time Democrat
and his views worry his old party
friends.

The first blood" of the campaign
must be scored up for the Democracy,
and, by the way, it is Democratic
blood, too. 1t happened in Salem,
Washington county. Col. Horace
Heffren, somewhat notorious Demo
crat of the blatant school, is the edi-
tor of little six-by ten campaign pa
per in that town, which is specially
devoted to showing up the rascalities
of the Democ ratio county ring, and
making things generally uncomfort-
able for the party managers. A few
nights ago the Office of this dangerous
and inAammatory publication was Wis
tied by small but select mob of out.
ragged Democrats, who proceeded to
break the press, destroy the cases and
empty the type into the street. The
value of the property destroyed was
doubtless Insignificant, but the event
shows that the good old Democratic
spirit still survives in its strongholds
and that the party is in no mood to be
trifled with. We congratulate the De.
mocracy on this carly and successful
opening of the campaign.

In his address before the Amer

Francis A. March favored phonetic
spelling. 1T is no use," he said,
ito try to characterize with fitting
epithets and adequate terms of
objurgation the monstrous spelling
of the English language. The time
lost by it is large part of the
whole school time of the mass of
men, and with a large majority of
those who are said to read and
and who can read if you give them
time, it is fatal bar through life
to that easy and intelligent reading
which every voter, every human
being ought to have at command
Count the hours which each man
wastes in learning to read at
school, the hours that he wastes
through life from the hindrance to
easy reading, the hours wasted at
school in learning to spell, the
hours spent through life in keeping
up and perfecting this knowledge
of spelling, in consulting diction-
aries-a work that never ends-the
hours we spend in writing silent
letters; and multiply this time by
the number of persons who speak
English, and we ehall have q total
of millions of years wasted BY each
generation. The cost of printing
the silent letters of the English
language is to be counted by mil
lions of dollars for each generation,
