New CASTLE, July 20.
1t will be remembered that when the "Bank
Burglars" escaped from New Castle Jail, they
liberated Eben Frazier, also, who was about 10
years ago sentenced to life time of imprison-
ment for the murder Of his brother-in-law, John
A. Eliason, of Middletown. Nothing has been
heard of Frazier since his escape, until within a
few days. A gentleman who visited some CON
necton of his, living here, reports that during a
trip to Savannah, Ca, last month, he saw Fra
zier. He was standing on street, apparently
looking at the people passing, and was well
dressed and looked quite well, though little
pale. He only saw him for few minutes when
he disappeared and he was unable to find him

The Patti Family,

Antonia 'Barili, half brother of Ade.
lima and Carlotta Patti, has been tell
ing his family history to correspond
ent of the Chicago Post. "My par
ents," he said, were show people. My
father, francesca Barili, was celebra-
ted composer of Rome. He married
one of his pupils, who travelled q sea-
son in this country, and was popular
here. They were members of an opera
troupe. Well, in the troupe was tenor
named Patti. My father quit the
troupe and took to drink. 1t finally
broke him clear down, and he died. MY
mother at once married Signor Patti.
My step-sisters, Amalia and Carlotta,
were afterward born. My parents moved
to Spain, and there Carlos and Adelina
were born. Adelina's native city is
Madrid, not New York, as many sup
pose. Amalia was a eIl-known prima
donna in this country, and married
Strakosch. Carlos was noted violin
list of New Orleans and New York, and
died not long ago. Carlotta and AIDE.
lima have fame which is world wide.
Clotilde married Alfred Thorn. He
was lost at sea few years later, and

shortly after in the West Indies. Nicola
and Ettore, my two own brothers, were
both educated early in life, and have
made fine musicians. Nicola is now in
New York and Ettore in Philadelphia.
In 1845 my mother was singing in Va.
lencia, in Spain. Amalia was a young
girl. She was kept very busy, and
Amalia and myself were allowed to
roam about much as we liked. One
day, while We were strolling the crook.
ed streets, who should arrive but tat.
tered young musician in want of aid.
He claimed to have talents, but no op.
portunities. A benefit concert was
proposed. He wanted Amalia to sing
and mother granted his request. The
tattered young maestro was Maurice

LATENT POISON IN THE SYSTEM.
Undue Popular Apprehension ON the
Subject of Hydropioh,n SO Prompt
Cauterization a sure Preventive

Subject - G.EouHpt
Concentration a sure Preventive
Very many people, says well-known
surgeon, writing to the ITt6une, are
becoming intensely nervous about
hydrophobia, to degree which is
totally uncalled for but when we take
into consideration the fact that no cure
for this disease exists, and the inevitable
fate, sooner or later, of every one who
has been inoculated by the bite of rabid
dogs, it does seem as if efficient action
Of some sort is needed for public pro.
lection, and that We ought not to per-
NIT our sympathy for " "canine friends !"
to ieopardize the lives of human beings.
I have used the word inoculated, 6e-
cause not every one bitten is inocula-
ted. Statistics show that only one in
twelve of those bitten dies of hydro
phobia. Some, of course, are bitten
by dogs cnly supposed to be mad. Some
escape incubation, and others, owing
to the long period of time it sometimes
continues latent in the system, die of
other diseases before its development.
Bites upon parts uncovered by clothing
are more fatal than upon parts that are
covered, for the reason that the poison
is exclusively in the saliva and as the
teeth pass through the clothes they are
wiped dry, and no saliva comes into
contact with the wound. l will relate .
case which came under my observation
about six years ago. A man and child
were bitten by the same dog, almost at
the same time-the man upon the bare
hand, and the child also upon the hand,
which was covered, however, by thick
glove. The man was intoxicated, and
would neither wash his hands nor
permit treatment. The parents of the
child pulled off the glove and washed
the wound with warm water and soap,
and about an hour afterward the wound
was thoroughly cauterized with the
solid nitrate of silver Qunar caustic).
The man died three months after with
unmistakable hydrophobia. The child
is living still and is perfectly well. The
parents, however, are harassed with ap-
prehension.
The earliest SYMPTOMS of hydropho-
bia in the dog are not very distinctly
marked, and the animal may be capable
of imparting the germ of fearful and
inevitable death several days before
any evidences of the malady can be de-
tected.
When person has been bitten, some
one should wash the wound immedi-
ately with water and soap. Warm
water is best. Do what you intend to
do with as little delay as possible.
Then cauterize the wound most thor
oughly WITH lunar caustic, or, if it is
not readily obtainable, use wire heated
to O white heat, and plunge it to the
bottom of each cut made by the teeth.
Don't hesitate life is in danger. At
terward the part may be cut out if the
surgeon thinks it advisable.

A Minnesota GirPs Little Trick.

Another of those devices that some
females are so full of has come to light.
A young lady of Hutchinson, who is
fair to middling in looks, puts on a
good deal of style, and would like to be
popular, and who dwells in house
that, while it is decent and respectable,
is not grand, had the luck some time
since to receive an Introduction to q
stranger who hailed from neighboring
town. 1t was at church that she was
made acquainted with him, and he
asked to see her home /; she accepted,
and they started. 1t occurred to her
as they walked onward, that after what
she had said it would hardly do to en-
ter her humble dwelling, for the lad
might think she was not what she
seemed. A few houses distant from
hers stands fine-looking residence,
before which she halted. He, not be-
ing acquainted with Hutchinson or
her, supposed, of course, that every
thing was all right, and left the gate
with bright visions dancing through
his brain, while she hid behind the
stoop until he got out of sight, and
then went home happy.

The Abuse of Appetite.

Upon this subject a medical writer
makes the following reasonable sugges-
tions The appetite is one of the least
appreciated of natures gifts to man.
It is generally regarded in this work-a-
day world as something to be either
starved or stuffed-to be gotten rid of
OF all events with the least inconvenience
possible. There are people who are
not only not glad that they have been
endowed with sound, healthy bodies,
for which nature demands refreshments
and replenishments, but they are actu-
ally ashamed to have it known that they
are sustained in the usual manner. The
reason of this we are at loss to con-
ceive. Everybody admires beauty, and
there can be no true beauty without
good health, and no good health with
out a regular and unvarying appetite.
We are disinclined to let appetite
take any responsibility on itself. If
we happen to consider it too delicate,
we try to coax it, perhaps stimulate it
with highly-seasoned or fancifully-pre-
pared food. There are times when this
may seem necessary, as in the case of
person SO debilitated as to depend for
daily strength on what he eats. But,
usually, the cajoling process is mis-
take. If the appetite of an individual
in fair bodily condition be occasionally
slender, it is no cause for alarm, and it
should be allowed to regulate itself. 1t
may safely be considered natures pro-
test against some transgression, and it
is wise not to attempt coercion.
At certain seasons, as in spring and
summer, the appetite of even the robust
is apt to fail, and the relish for meats
and heavy food to wane. This is all
right enough, for animal diet in warm
weather heats the blood, tends to head
aches, and is generally unwholesome,
unless sparingly used. On the other
hand, fresh vegetables, berries, fruit,
and bread are cooling, corrective, and
what the palate most Graves. Don't be
afraid to go without meat month or
so and if you like, live purely on o
vegetable regimen. We will warrant
that you will lose no more strength than
is common to the time, and that you
will not suffer from protracted heat, as
when dining on the regulation roast
