TOO HAsTY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT DOGS.

SIR: Whatever may be the final opinion with
regard to the truth OF Dr. Hammonds conclusions as TO
the nature of hydrophobia, 10 will be long tlme be-
eve before the world will accept The dictum down so
positively by Dr. Cross IN your paper OF Wednesday that
all the dogs the cities should DO killed. being only
"a nuisance and terror" The Doctor would allow the
country mastiffs TO liye but the city black-andtans
be killed. and houses left without their
efficient protectors from burglars. because man has
died from the bite OF dog that Dr. Cross has decided is
not mad. Tho remedy proposed can only be compared
to the proposition TO burn down barn alled with hay
TO get rid Of the rats.
There is use for dogs or they would not DO In the

Results OF the Temperance War.

The results of this uprising will be
these Multitudes of the young will
this year keep back from the intoxicat-
ing cup; hundreds of villages where all
know each other by name will form
temperance friendship which will purify
their home atmosphere for years to
come our towns and villages having
been morally improved, the ruin in the
cities will still leave the nation moral
hope in the nobler millisns outside,
the hope of America being not in its
cities, but in its almost infinite country
life come and yet to come. Rising up
out of religion, by its impulse and fol-
lowing its entreaty, this commotion will
go far to compel sects to stand upon one
level, and will compel the palpit to
abandon the endless definition of Chris
tianity in favor of an application of its
blessedness to the strong men bowling
beneath dreadful vice and to the hearts
of their families bowling under hunger
and cold and all private neglect and
public disgrace. After so long time
the use of Christianity should follow its
discovery. From women the cause will
pass to the columns of the newspapers
and to the Legislative halls and to the
bench of the Judge and bosoms of the
jury. Hence we cannot but hope this
awakening will go forward, spreading
out storm cloud over parched fields in
June, and that whereas in the dark ages
crusades were made in the name OF
Christianity in search of only tomb in
dead rocks where at the best nothing
had ever been but dust, and as now q
few devotees are making pilgrimages tc
rescue, not an empty tomb from inf
dels, but some from death, and are
chanting their hymns, not where some

Nv Grandfather's Story.

Ny grandfather tells the following
story In the course of a journey
through the West, he came to a remark
ably healthy locality, where people
lived to wonderful old age. AS he APP
preached the village tavern he beheld
the oldest white headed man he had
ever seen, seated on the porch, crying
like q child. In answer to an inquiry
as to the cause of his grief, he sobbed
out:
my father has just been licking
me-"
Thinking the old man insane, my
grandfather went into the bar-room,
and, seeing another man there, much
older than the first, and thinking to
have little sport with him, he said:
"Sir, your son out there says you
have been licking him.
Yes" replied the landlord, for such
he was, 81 could not helpit. The young
rascal was chasing his grandfather
around ten acre lot, and throwing
stones at him. SO I had to interfere,
stranger"
That settled my grandfather. He
concluded he had either stumbled upon
a pair of lunatics, or that he had come
across a remarkably healthy country.

Decentralization i'm Jerusalem.

The London correspondent of the
JeWiSh Messenger says that he is in re-
ceipt of private letter from Jerusalem,
which gives sad account of the state
of things in the Holy City. Beggars
are many, laborers few. 1t is, indeed,
sad to hear these continued descriptions
from impartial witnesses of the misera-
BILE, beggarly position of the Jews of
Jerusalem. A great deal of the present
misery of the Jerusalem Jews is direct
ly traced to the misplaced, ill-advised
generosity of the European Jews, who
think they are discharging re-
ligious duty, as well as performing a
charitable act, by sending money i'll the
form Of Cheiuchdh to Jerusalem. Old
men, middle aged men, and even young
lads who can and ought to be made to
work for their living, center their whole
object in life upon sharing in the funds
obtained from the Jews outside of Je.
rusalem. The worst of it is that the
young children follow, and, in fact, are
made to follow the pernicious example
of their parents. There must eventual
ly come q time when concerted actor
will be taken by the Jews of Europe
upon this question. Undoubtedly great
good could be done with the money nov
sent to Jerusalem if better system o.
distribution were organized. AS it is
under the present system, the money
does much more harm than good.

Religious Wars.

Even the white mantle of religion is
too frequently dragged through the
bloody pool of war. Spain waged war
with England in the seventeenth GEN.
fury because the latter founded colo
MES in America. The former in behalf
of the Pope of Rome claimed that all
heather countries belonged to him as
the vicegerant of God upon earth. The
thirty years war, 161S-164S, between
Germany and France was a contest for
supremacy between Roman Catholicism
and Professionalism. The Greek and
Latin monks of Jerusalem disputed
about who should keep the key of the
Holy Sepulchre. Whereupon Russia
suspended diplomatic relations with
Turkey and war subsequently ensued.
Hence Edward Everett remarked with a
smile that Russia and Turkey went to
war, spent millions of treasure and
thousands of lives to decide who should
keep the key of the tomb of the Prince
of Peace.

YOked with a Calf.

A correspondent of a neighbuine
journal tells of county clerk in a rural
town who had pet calf which he was
training up in the ways of the OK. The
calf walked around very peaceably un-
der one end of the yoke while Mr.. Clerk
held up the ther end, but in an unfor-
tunate moment the man conceived the
idea of putting his own neck in the
yoke, to let the calf see how it would
work with a partner. This frightened
the calf, and elevatipg his tail, he struck
a, dead run for the village, and Mr..
Clerk went along with his head down,
and his plug hat in his hand, strain
ing every nerve to keep up, and crying
out at the top of his voice, " Here
here Confound it Somebody head
us off -

Fire..

According to Pliny, fire was long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptians, and when. celebrated as
tronomer showed it to them, they were
absolutely in raptures The Persians.
Phenicians, Greeks and several other
nations acknowledged that their ances-
tors we're without the use of fire, and
the Chinese confess the same of their
progenitors. Pompanion, Mola, Plu-
tarch, and other ancient writer's speak
of nations which, at the time when they
wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had
just learned it. Facts of the same kind
are also attested by modern nations.
The inhabitants of the Marian Islands,
which were discovered in 1861, had nc
idea of fire. Never was establishment
greater than theirs when they saw it on
the desert in one of their islands. AT
first they believed it was some kind OF
animal that fixed to and fed upon the
wood.

the brink.
Our hearts misgave us little when
we heard mild NEW and low, faint
struggles occasionally under the folds
OF Augustus long calico apron, but we
thought of the dead chickens and the
skinned milk, and, hardening our
selves, clambered resolutely over the
rickety red fence, and came to the edge

spot.
Il" Now is your time, Augusta. Throw
her as tight as you can, and then we
will shut our eyes and rum" said L,
winking my eyes together as spoke.
There was futter, dash, and q
spatter, and then sudden stiffness,
while we turned our backs and ran az
though an avenger were after us.
We walked awhile in the garden to
take off the first horror of our fatal
deed, smelling the feur-de-ts and the
budding lilacs that sweetened all the
air.
At last we went back to the house
feeling like conquerors as well as muir
derers.
"They say folks think of everything

knitting work. "Do you suppose tn

ing in with the dish-cloth still :ie'

How TO PREPARK CoFFEE.-French
cooks say good coffee cannot be made
by boiling; it must be leached the
aroma and flavor of the coffee goes off
in the steam if it is boiled. The ground
coffee must be put in vessel that is
like a fine sieve in the bottom, pour
boiling water on this, and as soon as it
passes through it is fit for use and if not
used Immediately should be placed
where it will simply keep hot and not
boil. We give this French method OF
making good coffee not for the benefit
of hygienists, for they will not use cof-
fee, bnt to those who still feel that they
must take coffee, we would say, if you
must have it, make it in the best way.
