The Kansas Governors Message.

Topeka, KANSAS, January l5--The
governors message was read to the leg
islature to-day. 1t treats of the rapid
growth and development Of the State
during the past year, favOrs an increase
OF the national currency, and the aboli-
ton Of national banks, and the election
of United States senators by the people,
the semi-annual payment of taxes, a
institutional convention, and repeal of
the law assessing railroads on their
gross receipts. The finances of the State
are shown to be in an excellent condi-
ton, there being at present no warrants
outstanding, and with a balance in
the treasury, q thing never before known
in the history of the State. On the
subject Of the disputed title to the Usage
ceded lands, the governor says: SIT
is estimated that there are more than
twenty thousand people on these dis
puted lands. The courts of the country
are, for the purpose Of this controversy,
closed against them and will remain
closed unless the government of the
United States should come to their re-
lief. To conclude that these people are to
be deprived Of their houses without
having first had an opportunity to
test the legal questions involved
before the prOperly-constituted tri
bunals of the country is to aTraign the
government as fragrant oppressor and
wrong-dOer. / am not prepared for
such conclusion, but, on the contrary,
believe that congress viii, if properly
appealed to by you, adopt such legisla-
ton as will result in final settlement
Of this troublesome controversy by the

Hydrophohla Fatal Result.

WooDvILhE, July 21.-A case of hy~
drophobia resulted fatally at Culpeper
Court House on Friday last, the vic
tim, a negro chilo, who was bitten
about six weeks, as nearly as can be
ascertained, before the disease made
its appearance. The girl had been in
usual health up to few days of its
death, when it was attacked with the
usual symptoms of this disease, violent
and continually recurring spasms, dur
Ing which strong men were scarcely
able to restrain her from biting those
around her, followed by great nervous
prostration and intervals of quiet con
ciousness. There can be no doubt this
was case of hydrophobia. The scar
of the dog bite was plainly seen. -
Nearly, if not all, the usual symptoms
and characteristics were present, and
to satisfy himself still more fully, one
of the attending physicians, DR.. Rixey,
determined to apply the water test.
The child at this time had recovered
from one of the violent fits and was
subsequently, very weak indeed
its mother said it could not move So
great was its prostration. DR.. T. first
began by letting water fall from cup
into bucket of water This, though
out of sight of the child, could be
heard by it. The effect was plainly
seen, for at the first sound of the falling
water the child seemed wild with ter
ror and fright, accompanied by spasms,
and SO continued so long as the falling
water was heard The doctor then
placed small piece os ice in the open
hand of the patient, and weak and
Frustrated as it was. it gave one sud
den start followed by jump, which
Landed the child some six feet from the
bed on which it was lying. She died
/ in few hours after this unmistakable
proof of hydrophobia.

nineteen years standing" AS far as
it goes this is perfectly satisfactory j;
but we want light upon another view
of the matter. Suppose mans rheu-
matism is only of three years standing,
mast he let it stand sixteen years more
before the medicine will cure it? Or
if it has stood twenty years is there no
hope of remedy? We want to know
