HydrOphObia.

Another initiative disease is the much
dreaded hydrophobia for it has been
proved by medical men of no mean
reputation that in many cases, where
four or five people have been bitten by
a mad dog, only one of the number has
| died. Some times since a man was
bitten by dog that was known to be
perfectly well. The victim, however,
brooded over the idea that sooner or
later he would die from the effects of
the wound, although there was no mani
festations of serious character. But
his apprehensions made him anxious
and restless and almost frenzied, and
in few days he brought upon himself
hts of an alarming type. From all the
circumstances it was evident that the
man was in dangerous condition, and
needed mel 3ical attention. Physicians
were called, but he soon expired in great
agony. From beginning to end, this
mans case, so far the dog was con-
cerned, was one entirely of imagina-
tion. A celebrated German physician
says that he regards hydrophobia as
morbid affection, induced by fear, and,
in support of his opinion, cites many
interesting cases. A notable instance
is that of physician of Lyons, who.
having assisted in the dissection of sew
eral victims of the disorder, imagined
that he himself had become inocuiated.
On attempting to drink he was seized
with spasms of the pharynx, and in
this condition roamed about the streets
for three days. At length his friends
succeeded in convincing him of the
groundlessness of his approhensions,
and he at once recovered. If anybody
questions the effects of imagination,
let him turn to the history of witch
craft in New England, where supersti-
tion was fostered to the extent of taking
life. People sickened and died under
imaginary spells, and pious clergymen
and wise magistrates countenanced the
hanging of innocent victims. But we
of the nineteenth century should be
wiser than our predecessors, and care
fully secure ourselves from imaginary
ills of all kinds.

Gambling.

A professional gambler in Chicago
recently "bucked the tiger" for fifty
straight hours, without pause for
sleep or refreshments, and managed in
that time to lose $1l, 900. The case is,
perhaps, without parallel /; though
men have done many things for twenty
four or thirty hours at stretch, no
case is before recorded of so long a
labor. 1t shows also, as the Times re-
marks, the absorbing power of gambling.
One watching by the bedside of dying
child would succumb in less than that
period. A man who has the certainty
of living but fifty hours would probably
spend one-fourth of it in sleep, and
would give due attention to his food.
One escaping from a deadly foe would
not fly for so long a time without
snatching now and then momentary
rest. In short, one can conceive of no
other circumstances in which man
would give fifty hours to single task
circumstances more especially which
should tear the chief actor with hope
and fear, and harrass him necessarily
with the operation of the most destruc-
tive of emotions.

Not Afraid.

The Emperor of Russia, during his
recent visit to Ems, lived in large
old building called the "Castle of the
Four Towers" He put aside all cere-
mony, and walked about quite alone,
stopping to shake hands with one per-
son, and to talk with another, and had
something like the looks and behavior
of a lord of the manor in his own vii
lage. No visible policemen are ever
seen on the watch when he is abroad,
and though several attempts have been
made to assassinate him, he has evil
IDENTIFY no fear of danger. There was
only single footman in attendance at
the Castle, so that man of enterprise
would have had little difficulty about
walking into his presence at dinner
time, or questioning him as to his in
tentions respecting British India and
the liberty of the press.

Nor THE SEASON. Statistics drawn
from the communal reports in France
the only country where statistics
have been taken-show that the great
est number of cases of hydrophobia
occur in the spring winter and sum-
mer being about equal, and autumn
showing fewest of all l.; SO that the in
sane dread of the disease in hot weather
Is most illogical and unreasonable, and
the muzzling of dogs in warm weather
is directly promotive of sickness which
may result in the disease.

NObody's Dog.

Will nobody pity nobody's dog
Will nobody hide me away?
Or give me at least one meal in the year,
And that on a July day
For hunger tempts to an evil course;
And if I've no soul to be saved,
Why should 1 shrink from stealing a bone,
Or try to be better behaved1
True, nobody's dog no wisdom Affects
He feels he's a vagabond thing,
With a hang-dog look and tail depressed,
Always prepared for a hing
Never surprised by blow or kick
Yet. if he were somebody's own,
Not tail would be carried with loftier air,
Nor truer dog be known.

The bids for stocks at the close of the Exchange

The financial advices from London reported money
active. with a probability existing that the min
imum rate of discount at the Bank OF England
would soon be advanced. British Consols and
American securities, though dull and steady at the
opening, closed weak and lower The foreign ex-
change market opened firm at the closing prices OF
Yesterday, but later, on an improved demand, the
standard drawers advanced their rates to 4s6 to the
pound for 90 days bills and 4S9 for demand drafts.
Business is also done pretty close on to
these rates The advance had the effect
OF stiffening gold, and after opening and
ruling at l0l until nearly noon advanced to 1lO.
There were no other influences bearing upon the
market and the days business was small. On gold
loans the rates per cent for carrying and fiat
Oh the borrowing side. The export clearances of
domestic produce for the week ending to-day,
amounted to 81, 2l9 in currency valuation. The
Assistant Treasurer redeemed $4,000 in called
