A Perilous PredicamenS.

Hon. Joseph Mosby, of Rolla, Mo-,
wished to make some slight repairs ON
the top of his residence, and for this
purpose had occasion to tear up few
shingles. In doing so in quiet and M
offensive manner, he was astonished 10
find that he had disturbed hornetS
nest. The hornets swarmed out upon
Mr.. Mosby. They made it hot for him
at the very first onset. He rushed to
the ladder. attacked from behind, when,
horror of horrors, neighbor had bor-
rowed his ladder. Mr.. Mosby cavorted,
he tumbled, he rolled from one end Of
the roof TO the other, screaming as he
went. "Ladderr I" LADDER" The hor-
nets continually increased /; they few at
his nose, his ears, his cheeks; they
danced on his forehead, they crswled
down his back, they flew up his breeches
leg, they met half way and fought each
other. They stung, here and there and
rywhere-before, behind, above, and
below. Mr.. Mosby's wild gesticulations
and terrific shouts attracted the atten-
ton of the whole neighborhood. His
friends mistook the shouts of I" Ladder I"
&" Hornets !" for " Hayes and Wheeler"
and thought he was raitfying, but 40
much seriousness was depicted ON his
face that ladder was finally procured
and rescue effected. Mr.. Mosby ic
laid up for repairs now.

Strange Case OF RydrophobIa.

An extraordinary case of hydrophobfa
occurred in Augusta, Me-, last week. A
gentleman from Portland, while smoking
with friend in the front yard of his
boarding house, remarked that fit was
coming on, as he felt the symptoms.
He was soon rolling on the ground,
frothing at the mouth and barking like
a dog. Five persons attempted to hold
him, but we're unable to do so during
his most severe commissions. The poor
fellow was in this condition twenty-foui
hours, and did not appear to be greatly
exhausted when he came to himself.
He remarked that the reaction always
came two or three days after the attack.
He said that twelve years ago he was
bitten by a dog, and ever since has had
an attack like this once n year. Last
year he was attacked in June.

Sitting Bull the Greatest.

Gen. Jas. 3. Brisbin, now with Terry
as Major of the Second cavalry, has been
interviewed on the Indian question.
In answer to the question, "Are there
any noble Indians, such as we read
about in the books2" the General an
swered: "Yes, plenty of them, and
greater chiefs now living on the plains
than ever were Powhattan, Logan, Red
Jacket, or Tecumseh. Sitting Ball, as a
warrior, is a greater Indian than has
ever appeared in America. The late
campaigns on the Yellowstone show that
he is equal to the best generals in man.
aging battles. A few years ago he was
a blanket Indian, without influence or
wealth, and by his own energy
he has raised himself to the head of the
most powerful Indian tribe on the plains,
and is the acknowledged leader of
all the hostilities. Red Cloud will COM
pare favorably with any chief that has
ever lived, and Spotted Tail is not far
behind him in ability. / remember
Washakie, Chief of the Shoshones, who,
if he had been born white instead of red,
would have been leader of the people
in any State-a Governor or Senator.
In personal appearance this Chief
strongly resembles the Father of his
Country, as painted by Peale-tall,
straight, white-haired and dignifed-he
is the personifcation of noble red man.
