HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A DRUGGIST.
A jury in Massachusetts has just given a
verdict for fifteen Thousand dollars dam
ages against firm of Boston druggists,
under remarkable circumstances. A wo.
man living in Taunton, Mass, bought of
neighboring druggist what was supposed to
be dose of picra, but on taking it she was
seized with commissions, which nearly
caused her death, and injured her probably
for life. A chemical analysis proved tie
drug to be the terrible poison aconite,
which, by carelessness, has been substitut-
ed for picra by the Boston house from
whom the retail druggist made his pur-
chase. The Injured woman sued the D,s.
ton druggists to recover damages resulting
from their carelessness, and her counsel
succeeded in convincing the jury that she
was entitled to the large amount which they
awarded. The case has gone up on APP
peal to the court of last resort; but the
fact of which the druggists need to take
noteis that carelessnees on the part of
themselves or their employees may subject
them to heavy loss. Too much care can
hardly be used to avoid mistakes :; for
even if this case is, on appeal, decided f,
vorabty to the druggist, it cannot be ex-
pected that every case will be so decided.
And this verdict, too, puts the whole re-
lation betweee the State and the druggist
on precisely the right footiDg-Laws that
single out a particular employ ment as one
and discriminate against it by putting OPP
pressive restrictions on it's transactions,
are in themselves objectionable and com
monty fail OF their object. To compel
druggists and their clerks to submit to
examination oy boards of self styled ex-
perts. forbidding them to earn their living
at their business unless allowed to DO so
by such boards, is a violation of the rights
of cit zens, and will in one way or another
lead to evasiops or other evils. But leave
the druggist free to- conduct bis business
on the same terms whereon any other
with the understanding that he is to meet
the consequences of any negligence, and
the common law remedies will be found
sufficient to protect his customers.

TEMPERs.-Few men have sweet tenn
pers, or hold such as they possess under
invarable control, though they are men
who, without this sweetness of nature,
however much tried, never seem to lose
their self command. No public man can
get ON long who has not his temper well
in hand but with the same amount of
intlammable PARTICLES, men differ much
on the occasions that set fire to them,
Some people, who are all composure when
we might reasonably expect and Justly
excuse an explosion, will break down into
provocations. We have known men,
quito remarkable for we'll bred serenity
to be unreasonably and childishly testy at
some transient annoyance ola sort they
are not used to. Highly sensitive organi-
cations and intellccts kept on the stretch
are always irritable. De Quincy, who
has no heroes, says that Wordsw orth,
with all his philosophy, had fits of ill.,
temper, though the unexamped sweetness
of his wife's temper made it impossible
to quarrel with her. The two great hymn
writers and good Christians, Newton and
Topiady, met but once, and for few min

which upset Tcplady's equanimity, and
made his parting words, we are told by
the friendly by-stander, not very cour-

their display of i'll temper to a holy i'm

a Suggestion to the Ladies.
IN. Y. Journal Of Commerce


One of the most effective movements in
the cause of temperance that could be made
would be one among the women themselves.
SO long as many women, and they among
those who are deemed respectable, are ia
the habit of drinking wine, punch, etc. and
drinking of alcoholic liquors will be very
strongly intrenched in social usage. Many
o man can trace his downfall to the glass
of intoxicating drink offered him by a
young lady on New Years day, or at q
party and the fact that in many of what
are considered by some to be the best cir
cles young man who does not drink such
beverages is deemed an eccentric, has
great influence in a wrong direction
throughout society. A movement which
should involve the Punishment of wine
and other liquors from the dinner tables
and the social gatherings Of "our best So
ciety" would do more to aid the cause of
temperance than anything yet attempted.
If the ladies would refuse to attend So
cial gatherings unless all liquors were ri
gidly excluded, or at such Assem- blies
would take care to make it evident that
they did not consider drinking respectable,
and would show that they preferred the
company of total abstainers, total absti-
pence would soon become fashionable and
the fashion being once set in that direction,
the effect would be far-reachiDg and sure.
Every community is full of men who are
striving to win the respect of their neigh
bors. If they were made to feel that total
abstinence raised them in the esteem of
their acquaintances, they would be very
apt to practice it. When the ladies who
have unsuccessively appealed to rumseilers
appeal to the moderate drinkers-from
whose ranks the army of druukards is
yearly &cruited-and when they ask their
sisters to exert their influence against
drinking instead of against mere selling,
the chance of success will be far greater
than it has heretofore been.

A Cure for Hydrophobia.

The Salmt Public of Lyons says DR.
Buisson claims to have discovered RENE
dy for this terrible disease, and to have
applied it with complete success in many
cases. In attending a female patient in
the last stage of canine madness, the Doc
tor mprudently wiped his hands with a
| handkerchief impregnated with her saliva.
There happened to be a slight abrasion on
the index fiuger of the left hand, and, con
| fident in his own curative system, the
Doctor merely washed the part with water.
He was fully aware, however, of the i'm
| prudence he had committed, and gives
| the following account Of the matter after
ward: "Believing that the malady would
not declare itself until the fortieth day,
and having various patients to visit, Put
off from day to day the application of my
remedy-that is to say, vapor baths. The
ninth day, being in my col inet, felt all
at once pain in my eyes. My body felt
so light that felt as if l could jump to q
prodigious height, OF if thrown out of q
window l conld sustain myself 10 the air.

forming IN my mouth. Any movement of

all that was near me. / drSAk with diff
Guilty, and l remarked that the sight of
water distressed me more than the pain
in my throat. 1 believe that by shutting
the eyes nrone suffering from hydropho-
bia can always drink. The fits came on
every five moutes, and l then felt the
pain start from the index finger and run up
the nerves to the shoulder. In this state,
thinking that my course was preservative,
not curative, took vapor bath, not with
the intention of cure, but of suffocatibg
myself When the bath was at the heat of
So centigrade (93 3 5 Fahrenheit), all the
symptoms disappeared as if by magic, aud
since then have never felt thing more
of Their. l have attended more than
eighty persons bitten by mad animals, and
have not lost single one" When a
person is bitten by n mad dog, he must for
seven successive days take vapor bath
ga la RuSse," as it is called-of So to 63
degrees. This is the preventive remedy.
A vapor bath may be quickly made by
putting three four red hot bricks in
bucket or tub of water and let the patient
sit over it on cane bcttnmed or willow
chair, developed in large blanket, tor
fifteen or twenty minutes. When the dis
ease is declared, it only requires one vapor
bath, rapidly increasing to 81 2tigrade,
then slowly to SO, and the patent must
strictly confiue himself to his chamber un-
til the cure is complete.

state Of the Church in Hayti.

Some very interesting details and statis-
tics appear in the Journal de Florence
concerning the actual condition of the Ca
tholic Church in Hayti. CAT present
there are sixty four priests belonging to
the Mission of Port au Prince The faith
ers of the Congregations of the Sacred
Heart of Mary serve the seminary the
seminary of Port de Paix is attended by
the priests of the mission society of St.
Lawrence. The grand seminary was
founded in 1864 by Mgr. Testard du Cos
quer, and has supplied the islands with
forty one priests. 1t was closed for some
years for want of funds but reopened De-
cember 3, 1872, and placed under the pat
ronage of the Sacred Heart and of st.
Francis Xavier. 1t contains now twenty
nine scholars. There are sixty six parishes
OF which the arch diocese of Port au-
for population Of 800, 900. The diocese
of Gonaives has eight parishes, six priests
and 10000 inhabitants; Coyes, twenty
parishes and twelve priests for 100000;
Cape Hayti, nineteen parishes and eleven
priests and $50, 600 souls; the diocese of
Pot de Paix contains four parishes served
by four Marists and a population Of 10000
souls. The churches are too few and too
small to contain their rapidly increasing
congregations. In 1873 there were Al 423
baptisms throughout the entire republic,
9OSl first communions and 1925 marriages.
There are at present thirty-four rural
chapels, some of which have been recently
completed and the rest are in process of
erection. There are four confraternities,
1. The Sacred Heart 2. The Sacred Heart
of Mary; 3. The Rosary; A. The Holy |
Sepulchre. The general condition of the
mission is excellent, but there are many !
obstacles to be met with, as, for instance,
the pernicious influence of the Protestant |
and the traditions of pagan |
superstition which are still powerful! IN this

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CAsHEL ON THE TEN

Catholic Total Abstinence Union of New York,
makes some very practical remarks on sub
ject of great Importance. While believing firm

the use of the Sacraneuts as the only remedy
for confirmed drunkarGs, lie g"es to say
that an experience stretching over many years
makes him believe that this should not bind
him to Perpetual Abstinence nor pledge for
life to Total Abstinence. Thas consider
not only not good, bnt most dangerous.
a man bound Total Abstinence for
life does well for time, till his first fervor be-
gins to cool down. Then Incompetence, the
old enemy, the demon whispers TO him Oh!
it is too much to be bound for life you cannot
keep snch q pledge And SO he loses heart,
then despairs of being able to keep his pledge,
then breaks it. That is the history of Per
petual Teetotalism in ninety-nin cases out of
a hundred. Instead of a perpetual pledge,
