A Specific against Hydrophobia.

DR.. Glzyvala, OF Kriyoe, Ozero, Podo-
liza, Tor whose trustWorthfness Professor
Gubler of Paris, voucnes, declares that
after series OF crucial trials, which he
describes at length, he has found that,
after having had opportunity of treating
at least one hundred men bitten by rabid
dogs with the Xdnthtuns spinoSUna, he
has never in any one OF these cases
failed to- ward off hydrophobia. He
gives some startling examples. During
The Crimean war, u family of twelve per-
sons had been'bitten by a bydrophubic
woll. Six OF them entered HIS wards in
the hospital OF Olscnanka, Government
OF Podoiia, District OF Balta. 2e'iaJ e
They were treated with infusion of the
leaves OF xahthium, and all recovered. !.
The SIX others, who were treated by the
actuel eautery and the daily use OF
Genista tinctorid and other drugs, died
Win nydrophobia in the course OF twelve
to sixty days. lie efecounts many other
facts not less striking. For an adult the
dose is sixty centigfammes of the dry
powder, repeated three times DAY, and
continued during six weeks. Children
under twelve take half that quantity.
The dose for animals is much larger. A
herd of thirty oxen had been bitten by a
mad wolf; eight had succumbed Win
symptoms OF hydfophobia. The Com
missary OF Police came TO DR.. Grzyyala
Tor the '.antirabic powder" lie gave
three ounces OF the powder, with bran,
daily, to each OF the animals; none oi
them suffered from the disease. These
are examples OF which DR.. Grzyvaia says
ne has one hundred others.

that ought to be secuted by every men,
Der OF Congress-. Congress is seriously
debating the subject, while it is per-
feetly we'll known tIat the change from
their Territorial condition is net now
desired by the American portion Of
the population, and that the Mexicans
and half breeds OF the Territory know
nothing and care nothing about the mat
ter. A few men, ambitious to shine as
ornaments of official life in the public
places to be created by State govern
ment, have combined to urge the ad-
mission before Congress.
Were the admission granted and
New Mexico erected into State,
the number of offices to carry on
the State government would be
about equal to the number OF persons
seeking the admission. Consequently
the whole ring would be benefited. In
the last Territorial Legislature there
were but six persons who could speak
the English language, and that not gram
maticaily. There are not a half q dozen
public schools in the Territory, and those
few are most without scholars. The
common people know little or nothing
about the measures on loot to effect the
change into State, and care
less about it. The whole concern is a
fraud upon the Union. But then the
men who hope to be Senators and Con-
gressmen and Governors and Judges and
Legislators and officials Of all degrees,
are urging the thing before Congress
| with all the pertinacity peculiar to men
prompted by the motives of self-interest
\ and ambition.
There is nothing in the condition of
| that Territory that would warrant the
| change proposed, at this time. Its peo-
pie are in no special need Of any other
government than such as they
now have. They are in no
| condition to support separate
State government. The whole thing is
an absurdity, and Congress ought to
silence the matter by prompt refusal
10 grant the admission until larger
population and better social condition
would justify the request Tor admission
as o State.

1.-THE PLEASURES OF ANGLING"

s'THE PLEASURES OF ANGLING"
is handsome little volume just issued
by Sheldon & Co., New York. Its peru
sal has certainly afforded us. much
greater pleasure than was at first con-
templated. The author, MIR. George
Dawson, is one of the best known and
most experienced and iudefatigable
piscators OF New York. The thirty-odd
chapters comprising it were originally
given to the public at intervals during
the last three years, through the col
umns OF the Albany Evening journal,
where they attracted the most favorable
attention.
The subject is rare one in our cur
rent literature, and in all probability it
has never, as in this instance, been more
,killlully and pleasantly treated SINCE
The time when good OLD Izdac Walton

ity, oultit, etc., best suited for this en-
ticng sport. In several chapters the
,uthUr tells what he knows, aud that is
great deal, by the way, about the art OF
pisciculture and Its necessity in this
country for filing or restocking our lakes
aud rivers.
Other chapters are devoted to an agree
able discussion of the ''gelttle art" III its
various ph hses Of eujuy menb, health
producing, mental diversion, and so on !;
with sketches OF famous amateur anglers.
The language is plain anu simple, but it

When some three hundred yards out
in The stream one end OF the net was
thrown overheard. Its end was marked
by large buoy attachment, which in
turn was fastened to acapstan OH shore.
AS the darkles pulled further and fur
ther out, gradually turning towards the
upper shore, their co.oreu broLhers at
the capstan began hauling in. The boat
sped out under the influence OF much

The IMPEACHMENT.-Itis is evident that
Congress is becoming thoroughly dis
Vusted with the business of Belknap's
impeachment. The Senate having de-
rlared that they have jurisdiction by a
vote of 81 to 20, now come the counsel for
Belknap and move to dismiss the pro-
seedlings for want Of jurisdiction, be-
PAUSE OF less than majority of two
thirds voting for taking Jurisdiction.
We intimated in these columns some
days ago that this point would probably
be raised, in case of vote of less than
two-thirds for jurisdiction; for the rea-
son that, as two-thirds are required to
convict, those voting against jurisdic-
tlon would scarcely be expected to vote
tor conviction under proceedings that
they had held and must still hold to be
Illegal.
This latter question is likely to be as
tediously debated as was the former.
II decided against the motion, then
comes the trial, which with the argu-
ments will consume two months of time,
and this in midsummer, and in the
midst Of a Presidential campaign in
which Congress smen would be anxious
TO participate for the sake OF their own
seats by reelection, And even If d ver-
diet of conviction should be found and
}udgmentpronounced debarring Belknap
from holding office hereafter, which he
would probably be neither able nor will
ing to do, what good would that do the
country? Why keep Congress together
all summer for such an insignificant out
some as that?
In view of all these disagreeables,
various devices are suggested to get out
Of the scrape. Some members propose
TO have the House adjourn and 60 home,
leaving the Senate in session as court
and the Managers to conduct the prose-
sutton just as though the House were in
session. But the Senate don't like 10 be
made the pack-jacks to carry the burdens
Of the House while its members 60 off to
play. Some propose to continue the
ease till next winter. But Belknap de-
mands "speedy trial." And others
again, as nothing Of any moment can
come Of the trial in any event, and now
that the question Of Jurisdiction is set
tied, propose to abandon the further
prosecution OF the case altogether. But
that would be chilVs play with the most
solemn functions of government. We
DO not believe that the question Of juris-
niction was properly determined; but
the Senate, having sotued 1t in their
swn way, they are bound to proceed
with the Jurisdiction they have assumed,
no matter how much the tedium OF
the thing may disgust them, or how in.
significant may be the sum total OF adyan.
tage resulting from their service in that
behalf. Having taken jurisdiction they
ere bound to fight 1t out on that line IL il
takes them all summer.

Few events have caused more pain
full sensation throughout the country
than that connected with the charge
against Speaker Kerr in the matter of
receiving money for procuring an ap-
pointment in the regular army. Even
the Belknap downfall excited scarce
more wonder and dismay than has this
charge against Mr.. Kerr. To be sure,
he has denied it unequivocally and in
the broadcast terms under oath. And
this certainly should and does go far to
satisfy public opinion of the groundless-
ness Of the charge. Nevertheless. the
testimony of Harney, the man who
swears that he paid Kerr the money,
$3.50, and OF Green, the appointee, who
swears that he paid Harvey $500 to pro-
cure tile appointment, that he was intro
duced to Kerr by Harney, that on Mr..
Kerr's invitation he called on him at his
rooms, that they went to the War De-
partment together, is altogether direct
and positive. Green corroborates Har-
iney as to the manner of payment OF the
money. The records Of the War Depart
ment also show that Green was appoint
ed about the time referred to, in 1866,
that his appointment was made on Mr..
Kerr's request in his own handwriting.
TO have to meet these things now in
Mr.. Kerr's public position, and in his
exceedingly delicate state OF health,
awakens the utmost sympathy for him
in The public mind. His friends are as
founded, ana can account for the ap-
pearance of matters only ON the suppo-
sition of conspiracy to destroy Mr..
Kerr politically. But what motive can
be ASST sned for such purpose, no one
can conceive. Mr.. Kerr is not candi
date for any place in public life. He
has even declined reelection to Con
gresss on account OF his health. Boil
Green and Harvey are plain, unassum-
ing men; and so far no important dis
crepancy in their testimony can be de-
tected. We sincerely hope that MI
Kerr will he able to meet the charge
with successful contradiction by sutfi-
cient proof; for we are slow 10 believe
the allegations made against him, ant
founded, too, upon so trlfiing sum as
B45O.
