AMoEG English scientific men the
belief Is gaining ground that hydrophobia
may result from the bite of a perfectly
healthy dog. This theory would seem
70 be sustained by case which recently
occurred 10 New York. Several months
ago Mr.. Kelly was slightly bitten on
the hand by pet dog. The wound soon
healed, and a. the dog was apparently in
perfectly normal condition no uneasi.
ness was felt about the accident. A short
time ago, however, Mr.. Kelly exhibited
SYMPTOMS Of hydTophobia. All efforts to
relieve him were in vain, and after few
days Of intense suffering he died.

NJ. BouRBoUGE, Of Paris, has lately
been partially successful in collecting
spontaneous electrical currents from the
earth. This announcement, though in
itself of q simple character, contains sug-
gestlons Of a possible discovery of great
significance. IL may be safely suggested
that until some method il devised for
securing the service of these natural cur
rents, no great advance win be made in
the adaptation Of electricity to the per-
Torrance Of mechanical labor. Hence
all efforts in this field are to be COM
mended.

FOR REPUBLICANS.

Nearly three months of the campaign
have passed and but little CT no active work
has been done in the county. We have
less than two months left, and in that time
much real, hard, honest work must be done
if we hope to carry Cecil county for Hayes
and Wheeler. The election of the Repub
lican nominees is now a foregone conclu-
sion. Rutherford B. Hayes will just as
surely be the next President of the United
States, as that the sun will light the day
to morrow. We care not what pretense Of
hopes of success the opposition may eX-
press, they know in their secret hearts that
theirs is lost cause. The handwriting on
the wall is too distinct to need a soothsayer
to interpret. Now what is our business !?
To redeem our good old commonwealth,
now ground down by taxation, and ridden
to death by boards of office-holders. Then
up and at them; organize campaign clubs
in every town and district; call out your
speakers; hold meetings as often as posi-
ble and let the truth reach the people.
Our word for it, if the proper effort is made,
old Cecil is good for majority for Hayes
and Wheeler in November next. ewould
like to receive, within the next two weeks,
notice of the formation of scores of clubs
throughout the county. Let US hear of
them.

VICTORY IN MAINE!
A CLEAN SWEEP!
THE MAJORITY OVER $1,000 !

The Republican victory in Maine, on Mon
day last, was sweeping and complete. They
have carried the State for Governor Connor
by from 5000 to 10000 majority, being a
gain in majority of $4,000 from last year.
The returns indicate large gains in all parts
of the State. They have swept every Con-
gressional district, electing Republican Con-
gressmen by majorities ranging from one
thousand to four thousand. They have
swept every county, have chosen full Sena-
torial Board and elected fully twothirds of
the members of the incoming Legislature,
which will insure the election of Mr.. Blaine
to the United States Senate. Not one promi
nent Democrat is elected to the Legislature.
This is, all things considered, the greatest
triumph ever achieved by the Republican
party of Maine since its organization. The
Democrats had drummed out every man,
used immense sums Of money, but are every
where beaten. An immense vote has been
polled. The Republicans throughout the
State are holding meetings of rejoicing and
congratulation.

BOSS TWEED.

The news of the capture of ex Boss
Tweed in Spain is confirmed. Everybody
is surprised of course, as no one believed
that he had ever left New York. The idea
that he had wandered off to a foreign coun-
try, and last of all Spain was secuted by
the friends of his palmy days. 1t would
have been less astonishing had he turned
up in company with his old chums, Sweeny
and Connolly, but to stray off alone and
unprotected into Spain was incredible. So
when the news of his capture came there
were no believers. But now that it is set
tied that he is in custody, we think we hear
What are you going to do about it?" AS
we have no extradition treaty with Spain
he could not be reclaimed, but the Spanish
authorities have very graciously consented
to surrender him to the United States Off
Gals, and unless they are induced to change
their mind by some of his influential friends
on this side the water, we will have to take
him whether we want him or not. He is
not yet on American soil, however, and it
is not to be expected that the able counsel
who so earnestly defended him at home and
have been SO generously rewarded will aban-
don him in his emergency. If Spain has
habeas corpus, or officials susceptible of
the softening influence of specie, he may
never see his native land. If, by any means,
he could be induced to tell all he knows
about the New York ring, of which he was
the head, it would be worth while to secure
him, or were there any hopes of his being
punished for his crimes or making restitu-
ton for his plunderings, it would be worth
an effort to get him. But there seems but
little prospect Of his ever being punished,
and he has been SO badly plundered him
self that there is 10 hope of restitution. Is
not the fact that he is a fugitive from JUS

be inflicted upon him in case of his return?
If he is voluntarily surrendered, of course
we must take him and make the best of a

it would be better for his country if some
way could be devised to aid him to escape
from the Spanish authorities, and let his
name sink into oblivion.

In March, 1864, the great Metropolitan
Fair was held in New York. 1.-The
Tribute Book contained twenty pages Of
names of contributors-several thousands.
At this fair every trade and profession was
represented. A. T. Steward, $4,000;
James Lenox, $1,000; Morris Ketchum,
$1,000, and others, daily associates Of
Tilden, in smaller contributions. The
aggregate was 1851, 1884, and not one
dollar from Samuel j. TWden! What shall
we say of very rich man, who saw, every
day almost, other rich men, his neighbors,
giving money by the thousands to save our
country, and he refusing to give cent ?
His name is Samuel J. Tilden. Seventy
millions of dollars, it is stated in this book,
were voluntarily contributed in the North
ern States for the Union. Many thousands
of names of those who in some way helped
to raise this magnificent sum fill the pages
of this great volume. Samuel j. 1ildenS
name is absent from tile roll.

$33 PER TON.

II may be asked why we sell at $33,
while several other brands are selling
at $2S to $50 We desire to explain,
that at $33 per ton we believe our arti-
Gle is cheaper than most, if not all,
those selling at the lower prices. Dur
ing the past year we have procured
analyses of every brand of the Rock
selling in this vicinity, and while they
are generally represented to contain 10
per cent. Soluble Phosphoric Acid, not
one of them selling as low as $50 has
analysed as high as 8 per cent most
samples running from 5 l-2 to pr ct.
W Quality and price both consid-
cred, what We now offer is really much
CHEAPER than most of those in the
