Death from HydrOphObia.

A famous Western trotting horse,
Ripon Boy, lately died from hydro
phobia. The first suspicion that any
thing was the matter with the horse was
when the groom took him to water.
He drank sparingly, and at each attempt
to drink thereafter would tremble in
every limb. The horse allowed his
keeper to approach, but exhibited great
vice when he attempted to touch him.
He supposed that the horse might have
been poisoned by eating sumac with
the hay. After watching the symptoms
of the animal for few moments, his
owner pronounced them those OF hy-
drophobia. Water was several times
offered the horse, but when he under
took to drink he was seized with spasms,
followed by extreme viciousness. The
doctor says the actions of the horse
we're terrible to behold. He would rub
his head against the stall so forcibly as
to knock out his upper teeth, and finally
fracture his jaw. Finding that the life
of the horse could not be saved, Mr..
Van Brunt ordered the stall to be
boarded up SO as TO prevent him from
doing any mischief, when death ended
his misery.

The Famine In Bengal.

The latest reports from Bengal are
anything but encouraging. The famine
seems inevitable. The recent failure
of crops involves the subsistence OF
some thirty millions of people. "1n
some villages of Dinagepore," says a
correspondent Of the London Times,
"the people are eating jungle produce
and the pith OF the plantain tree, while
they give sort of tamarind stew to
their children"
The Bishop of Calcutta has prepared
a form of prayer to be used in the
Christian churches, and the "Santana
Dharma Rakshani Sabha," or Society
for the Defence of Eternal Religion
that is, orthodox idolatry-has issued
the following formula
"I. O Almighty Supreme Vishnu
Thou art the Preseryer in this world
save, therefore, Bengal and other places
from the impending dearth.
"II. OGod we, thy devoted people,
humbly pray that thou wouldst rescue
us always from future grain scarcity.
"ITI. o Asylum of Mercy pour
down thy bounteous showers of kind
ness, and cause the world to be sup.
piled with plentiful harvest.
CIV. In this kaii-yuga (age OF vice.,
we human beings live upon grain so
save our lives by that food, and spread
abroad thy Divine glory over the uni
verse.
"V. o Lord Governor Thou art
the sole protector of the helpless
kindly pardon our sins, and, hearing
our solicitations, bestow upon us thy
universal benediction.
"VI. And also prolong the life Of the
sovereign, who is our ruler, for the
prosperity of the subjects entirely de-
pends upon the monarch's veal"

"God bless you" Then he had lain
quietly back, with his fading eyes upon
that glimpse Of heaven beyond the lat
tice window, and had died quietly at
midnight.
Whatp The money? Don't ask me
what became of the money. Over those
five notes worried myself at last into
the most serious brain fever that ever
man came back from into life again.
They we're gone. No trace could I ever
find of my old pocket-book, though 1
made it we'll known that the numbers
of the notes had been taken. When l
had offered ESQ reward, and that did
not bring them, I doubled it and offer
ed s100. Who would care to keep them
then Who would keep five notes which
were stopped, when they could receive
FIVE available ones of equal value by
only bringing the worthless old pocket
book to nae? But no one brought it,
and then I advertised anew, offering
G15O reward for those five EGO notes.
OF course, I tried to make out that it
was the old pocket-book I set the value
on, but, after al, L didn't much care
who had the laugh against me if I could
only set this matter straight, and give
it an air of daylight reality. But no

The Desperation OF Despair.

Many of cur readers, says the New
York Evening Post, may remember the
little piece of verse in which company
of British officers in the Indian service
are represented as getting together, du-
ring an unusually violent epidemic of
cholera, and singing song, the chorus
of which, as we remember it, ran thus;
"Here's health to the dead already,
And health to the next to die"
An incident is reported to have oc-
Cured in Memphis, which indicates the
existence in that city of similar dis
position to make jest Of death. A
man, some days i'll with the yellow
fever, perceived one day that the disease
had taken fatal turn. Remarking that
he was going to die, and that he was
determined to die happy, he thereupon
drank large quantity Of brandy, and
died in the middle of the fit of drunk
enness which was thus produced.
However horrible such a scene may
be, it must be confessed that it is not
unnatural. Few men are able to main
tain an Indifferent bearing when they
are forced to keep still and watch the
constant and irresistible approach OF
death. One may face the danger OF a
desperate charge on battlefield with
comparative calmness, because there is
something to do. But to lie still and
wait for death to make an end OF one
requires q philosophical courage such
as few men possess. The poor man who
got drunk in order 'to die happy" was
probably too frightened to be fully re-
sponsible for what he did; but his con-
duct shows under what q tremendous
strain human life is maintained in those
districts of country where the yellow
fever has been raging for the last few
weeks.

Origin OF Gipsies.

Charles Leland, in his work on Eng
lish Gipsies, speaks of the race of which
they are a part as "the descendants OF
a vast number of Hindoos, of the prim-
tive tribes of Hindoostan who were ex-
PEELED or migrated from that country
early in the fourteenth century" The
migration probably began earlier, for
there are intimations of them as far
west as Germany in 1416, and in 1427 q
troop of them, numbering O hundred,
appeared in Paris, where they gave
themselves out as Christian Gipsies ex-
PEELED from Egypt by the Moham-
medans. No settled account of their
origin is given by the Gipsies OF any
two lands in the Old World, but their
tradition tends on the whole towards
the Egyptian origin, which the popular
notions of European nations had in
general till of late assigned tothem. Yet
that the Rom or Romni are to be iden-
tilted with the Dom or Domni castles of
Hindoos, allied to the Mats, the real
Gipsies of India at the present day
the letters D and r being hardly dis
tinguishable in Gipsy mouths-is not
only attested by the name they give
themselves, but borne out by proofs
without limit from the study of their
speech and of their characteristic GUS
toms or habits.

InnocentIy Executed.

One of the most notable executions
that ever occurred in Kentucky, says
the Louisville Journal, was the hang
ing of Captain William P. King and
Abraham Owens, at Franklin, in June,
1867. King was the leader OF a gang OF
thieves who stopped several trains on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
and robbed the passengers, and Owens
was member of Kings gang. The two
were convicted of numbering Harvey
King, half-witted brother OF Captain
King, and it was asserted that the muir
der was committed through fear that
the half.witted brother would expose
the robbers.
The day on which the hanging took
place was intensely hot, and the crowd
in front of the gallows, suffering under
the blazing sun, grew impatient at the
seemingly interminable speeches OF the
doomed men, who again and again re,
iterated their innocence, and called
upon God to witness the truth OF what
thew said. The Sheriff was at length
forced to admonish them, and they
stopped and made ready to die. The
body of King twitched horribly after
being swung off, and he appeared to
die hard. Owens struggled some, but
did not suffer 80 much as his compan,,
ion. Everybody familiar with the trial
seemed to feel almost certain that the
men were guilty, but their almost fran,
tic assertions Of innocence did not fail
to make IN impression. -,
Some time ago man by the name OF
Evans was lynched in Kansas, and re-
port of the lynching in one Of the Kan
sas papers alleged that before his death
he made confession, in which he said
he had once committed murder In
Kentucky, for which two men had been
hanged. It is now''said that the Evans
who was lynched in Kansas was one OF
the principal witnesses against King
and Owens, and that they are the per-
sons referred to by him in his confes-
sion. Should these statements turn
out to be true, they will be likely to
cause unpleasant feelings in Simpson
county. 1t is to be hoped that this
publication may lead to an investiga-
ton that will give us trustworthy infor-
nation.

A " Bear.BOy."

An Indian bear-boy has been on ex-
hibition in San Francisco, and the
papers have discovered that the mon
strosity is q case Of cruelty. The bear
boy is a born idiot, and that is about
all there is unnatural about him. His
points of resemblance to bear have
been stimulated by barbarous cruelty.
His keepers story is that his mother
was frightened by bear before his
birth. This could scarcely have broken
his ankles and cut the tendons behind,
so that the feet bend beneath the legs,
their upper portion touching the shins
and rendering it impossible for their
owner to stand upright. The inference
is that the Indian boy has been cut and
slashed and hswed into q rude imitation
of an animal going on all-fours. His
idiocy aided the transformation, and
renders him valuable as show. The
matter was brought before the courts
through the efforts of humanitarian,
and the boy was sent to the alms-house.
