The newspapers In New York say
that most of the deaths attributed
to hydrophobia are caused by fright.
If fright has anything to do with it
there is smart chance for a few of
the citizens of this place to be taken
with convulsions, for dogs are like
toads after a shower, for numbers.

Prince Bismarck has had the honor
seldom enjoyed by any but crowned
heads. of having two attempts made
ON his life. Young Blind gave him
the benefit of four pistol balls, only
one of which slighly wounded the
statesman, in May, 1856, and
now Magdeburg cooper has failed
at Kissingen in a somewhat less de-
termined attempt on his life. 1t
was to the fury of German radical
ism, that the Prince was to be offer

hefanatical hate of Roman Catholic
ism that the promptings to his as
sassinat1on have come in 1874.

There is some very PLAIN talk in Presi-
dent Watson's affidavit in the case of
John @. Angel VS.. the Erie Railway
Company. After answering the particu-
lar allegations of the plaintiff, he saws he
is informed and believes that the only in
terest which said Angel has in the Erie
Railway Company consists in few shares
transferred 10 him by one of the brokers
or agents of Jay Gould ; that said Angel
is reputed to be without pecuniary means
or responsibility, and that he has hereto
fore allowed bis name 10 be used in legal
proceedings by said Jay Gould and one
James Fisk, Jr., now deceased that he
is not a bona .Jfde holder of either stock
or bonds of the Erie Railway, but is the
tool and secret agent of Jay Gould and
others in a conspiracy TO depress the
market value OF the Company's stock. by
litigation and otherwise, for their person
al gain. And finally, deponent saws
that the general plans of said jay Gould
and his co-conspirators are, as dependent
believes, substantially, set forth in the
concluding portion of said Angell's afida.

the corruption of employees ofthe Com1a-

so to embarrass and annoy the said

The question of the most concern TO |
the public atlarge is, whether the AttoT.
ney- General of New York, whom Mr.
Angel asks to prosecute his suit at nnh. |
lie action in the name of the people will
make himself the ally of jay Gould in
the premises. The New York Tribune
seems to think that he ought to do So
AT this distance, the reasons why he
should canDot be discerned. A statement
attached to MIR. Watson's affidavit signed l
by two railroad auditors who have been
called in TO make a special report upon /
the accounts and property of the Erie /
Company, mention the existence of a ire
elamation fund" amounting to IS, $50 ,463..

TO be the money paid back by
jouid after he was dispossessed of the
Presidency OF the road. If Gould was re-

In October, 1872 young lady of Mid
dletown, CT, set about the collection OF
100000 of postage stamps in two years.
Inspired by the absurditY of the enter
prise. and the inipossibility of its accom-
plishment, her friends promised all sorts
ofthiDgs when she achieved the million.
This she rather resented, and it set her to
work with greater determination than ev-
er. She is now on the three last months
Of the allotted time, and has gathered oyer
5000 900 stamps. The friends who prom
ised her gifts when she had gathered
million began TO weaken, and are inquir-

which were named as prizes to be award.

Hard by a sudden stream deScendS,
Prom ledge to ledge with break and bends

Across the bay green ripples flow
In endless falls and swells;
Clear shows the ribbed sea-fiow below,
And round dark rocks in whiteness glow
Smooth sands Of crisped shells,
Foamspecks before the wind that glide,
The sleeping sea-gulls float;
Amid ewes crimson shadows wide,
Rocked softly by the swaying tide,
Yet safe as anchored boat.
Their white and folded wings are laid
On tides that change and flow;
The daylight passes into shade;
Vet calm they rest, and unafraid,
Whate'er may come and 20.

Below the darkening sky,
SO safe my heart and / may bide,
Calm floating on times changeiul tide,
