A correspondent writing from San
Francisco utters an earnest warning
against New Englauders going there
in hope of finding business. lie says:
''This State is full of bankrupt farmers
and merchants. This city alone has
$4,000 men to-day out OF employment,
and still they are coming faster than
ever from the East, farmers, miners,
printers, book-keepers, lawyers and
doctors-men with their families, and
after arriving here have hardly funds
enough to take them out of sight OF the
city. 1t is very hard and pitible
sight to look at them in every part OF
the city in search of something to do
TO keep them from starving.

On the 8th Of next month the "feed
motion" patent in sewing machines will
expire. 1t has reached the utmost
limit by law, and with its ending must
in time greatly decrease the price Of
sewing machines. The cost of manu-
facture for So sewing machine is
said to be about 1925; an $50 machine,
ready for shipment, about so. These
prices and profits are possible on ac-
count of the monopoly given the max
ers by the patents, of which the feed
motion" is one of the most vital. After
this expiration any shop in the country
can turn out a sewing machine with the
lock stitch and wheel or ratchet feed,
and competition must bring down the
prices fully one-half. a good machine
should not cost over S25.

A Mammoth Sugar Plantation

The Krull estate, on the island Of
Kauai, which comprises some $4,000
acres Of rich sugar and pasture lands,
well wooded and watered, together with
5000 head OF choice cattle, boiling
down works, and valuable permanent
improvements, was recently purchased
by His Majesty, Kalakaua, Captain
James Mckee and G. w. Macfarlane,
in the proportion of one-fourth, +, five
eigths, and one eighth respectively, for
the purpose of converting the same into
first-class sugar estate, for which the
property is admirably adapted, having,
perhaps, more natural advantages lin
the way of abundant supply of water,
rich soil, fiat, clear, and unbroken
land, woods etc. y than any plantation
property on the islands. A joint stock
company has been formed for car
rying on the business, and on Saturday
last the Privy Council received the ap-
plicatiOn of the company for charter
from the Government to incorporate
themselves as the Makee Sugar Com
pany, with capital of $4,000 in 160
shares of the par value of $1,000 each,
with the liberty to increase their capi-
tai stock to S500,000. The application
was passed unanimously by the council.
We learn that operations will be COM
menced at once and cane-planting be-
gun without delay. 1t is proposed to
adopt the cooperative or central-fac-
tory system, and already we hear of
parties with means who have engaged
with the company to plant cane for the
mill. Natives and foreigners alike will
be allowed this privilege. From Hon

as principal, must be suspected. Be-
ware especially of one that is sad, mo-
rose, and seeks for solitude; one that
does not know where to rest; one that
goes and comes, rambles about, snaps
and barks without reason, whose looks
are dull and gloomy, and whose bright
expression is lost. Beware of the dog
that looks about and attacks imaginary
phantoms. Beware of one that is sud-
denly too affectionate, asking for your
caresses by his pitiful and repeated
cravings. The mad dog is not of neces-
sity hydrophobic. He is not afraid Of
water, and he will not run away if one
offers him a drink. He will drink as
he is able to swallow. Rabid dogs have
been known to swim across rivers. The
bark of the mad dog is thoroughly
characteristic. Instead of the normal
and successive barks, it is hoarse, low
er in tone, prolonged and not so strong.
After the first bark, made at full length
series Of five. six, seven, or eight
others Immediately succeed, lower in
strength and out from the throat. The
bravest and strongest dog will in the
presence of a mad dog show cowardice,
and instead of attempting to fight with
him will try to to escape. The rabid
dog is always violently impressed and
irritated by the sight of animals of its
own species. 1t is generally believed
that the mad dog salivates abundantly
that he froths at the mouth. This is
a serious error. The salivary secretion
is increased in hydrophobia only when
the disease is at its paroXysms. The cat
may become rabid but fortunately sell

dangerous than the dog. The rabid
cat knows it's master no longer. 1t
aims its blow at the face. The danger
of mad dogs in winter is about the
same as in the heat of summer. In the
spring cases are more frequent and in
the autumn least frequent. Sensitive
ness to pain is greatly diminished in
the mad dog. When whipped. burned
or wounded he does not cry nor COM
plain. The mad dog runs away from
home, but after two or three days alb
scence returns to die near its master.
The surest way of preventing the ef-
fects of rabid incubation from the bite
of a mad dog is the immediate cauter-
ization of the would with the actual
cautery or with burning gunpowder or
some other caustic agent. If the eau
terization cannot be done Immediately
after the bite, one must, while waiting,
wash the wound, press it Thoroughly
to squeeze the blood out, suck it with
the lips (spitting out the liquid imme-
diately,) compress the edges of the
wound, and, if possible, apply a ligature
about the limb to arrest the circulation
of blood"
1t is to be hoped that these few ex-
tracts from this useful work NAV bring
forth good fruit.

TO AVOID HYDROPHOBIA.
How Rabid Dogs May Be TOld-Prsvsntion
of the Disease.

There is a pamphlet on hydropho-
bia, the means of avoiding its perils
and preventing its spread, translated
from the French of NJ. H. Bouley by
Professor A. Liautard, principal sur
geon of the American Veterinary Col
lege of New York, which should be in
the hands Of everyone. Some of its
sentences should be printed in huge
letters and posted everywhere, so that
he who runs may read. The author
says:
'sPeople generally imagine when dog
is mad his desease is Immediately
characterized by furious manifestations
and frantic movements. This is false
idea, Often quite the reverse takes
place. An affectionate dog will not
become ferocious and estranged in a
in a single day; it is by slow degrees
that the transition comes. But even
in that first period, from the moment
that the first symptoms of hydrophobia
show themselves, the saliva of the ami
NAL is virulent. Beware of dog
which begins to be sick. All sick dogs

The English journals are comment
ing upon the new sCritical History of
the American Civil War;" DR.. A Ma
han. The writer is close critic, who
speaks er cathedra, as if he had the
military experience Of Wellington or
Cesar. He writes apparently to VIM
dicate himself, for in 1868 he read a
paper to Lincoln on the conduct of the
war, and if his plan had been followed,
the war would have been finished in a
year. The great error of our war was
in scattering our forces; although we
had twice as many troops as the rebels,
we always met them on equal terms;
during Grants command the unionists
outnumbered the rebels four to one,
yet in all important battles the forces
were about evenly matched. The Doc
tor lays all the blame on the union gen.
erals; he says that "the union army
was the best constituted and worst
commanded army in the world" ac-
cording to the report of the French ad-
jutant-general. The federal generals
are condemned without reservation,
for sacrificing primary to secondary
objects, for dispensing their forces, for
losing sight of the fact that the con-
federacy was the chief confederate
army, the destruction of which would
have ended the rebellion. In short,
the federal generals were not superior
men, and they received far more credit
for brute force, clumsily applied, than
they deserved. Mr.. Mahan reserves
all his praise for the rebel generals.
The object Of his book is to inform the
American people how their war should
have been conducted in order to have
avoided such tremendous waste of
life and money. A feeble desire has
been expressed to know who DR.. Ma
han is, but no information is forth
coming. If he is as good hand at fight
ing campaign as telling how it should
have been fought, there is an excellent
opportunity for the exercise of his tai
ents on the Danube.

Mr.. Joseph Arch, who has acquired
fame as the sensible champion of higher
wages for the agricultural laborers of
England, and who has been, with other
radicals, agitating for giving them the
parliamentary franchise, has now ad-
vanced another step. He wants the
franchise for them in order that they
may elect parliament which will re-
distribute the real estate of England.
This open proclamation Of communism
has created some stir in England. At
a recent meeting, addressed by Mr..
Arch and Mr.. Young, with this object,
letters Of sympathy were received from
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Stanfield; and
it was doubtless these letters that spread
the alarm that Mr.. Gladstone was en-
tering upon revolutionary course
agitating for distribution of the lands
of the aristocracy, for the abolition
of the titles of nobility, and for the de-
struction of the house of lords. Mr..
Arch and his friends are all admirers
of Russia.

In the town of Deerfield, Mass, they
keep in a glass case, guarded with all
possible care, what is considered one
of the most suggestive relics Of the
brutality of the American Indians OF
two centuries ago. 1t is the door of
Mr.. Sheldon's house. The Indians,
who descended upon the village, hacked
a hole in the door with their toma-
hawks, and putting rifle through it,
shot woman. Two hundred years
later mob of Mississippi Democrats
at De Kalb broke down door and
through the opening shot a woman and
a boy. Thus the white savage goes his
aboriginal brother one better. And it
may be added, that the Indians fled for
their lives, but the Mississippi murder
ers sit around at home, and the COVER
nor of the state says all is quiet.

SAD CASE or MURDER AND SUICIDE AT
BRANDON. ten O'Clock last Satur-
day morning the village of Brandon was
thrown into u state of excitement by ru-
NOR that man was shot ON the road lead
ing to Sudbury, about a mile and half
from The village. The victim proved to
be Frank Brasser, young man about Is
years old, in the employ of Z. NJ. Winslow.
He had gone out on hunting expedition,
carrying a breech-loading rifle belonging
to his employer. His body was discovered
by passer- by lying in ditch by the side
OF the road. The alarm was soon given and
the authorities were notified, and the body
was placed ia the care of Drs. Woodward
and Peek for examination. A bullet hole
was found entering the right side, between
the ninth and lenth ribs, and passing out
ON the left side, going completely through
his body. A bullet was also taken from
near the surface, in front of the upper part
Ol the left lung. About O'Clock on Salur-
day night John Pendergrass, track
walker Oh the Rutland railroad, while GO
ing north from Pittsfurd on the track met
man with rifle, who attempted to shoot
hun. A scutfle ensued and the rifle was
taken from the unknown man, and Pen
dergrass, with the rifle, proceeded on his
way until he met another track-walSer
from the north, who told him about the
murder of young Brasser, and upon an OK
animation of the rifle they thought it quite
probable that it was the one the murdered
man had in his possession when he was
shot. They both Immediately proceeded
to Brandon, where their surmises proved
correct. A party was at once made up,
and taking hand-car they started down
the track. About forty rods from the scene
OF the encounter with Pendergrass they
found the body of his assallant with bull
let hole in the right temple. The body was
lying between tue rails, and life was en-
trely extinct. The body was taken to
Brandon, and an examination made by
Drs. Dyer aud Page, who took from the
wound ball precisely similar in weight
and appearance to the one found in the
body Of Brasser. Other balls of similar
character were found in the Colts revolver
which lay by his side, leaving no doubt
that he shot Brasser and himself. He black
ed his face between the time of the murder
and his assault on Pendergrass, and had
evidently set out as highwayman, hav-
ing in his possession mask, burnt cork,
&c. A dispatch from Brandon on Monday
says that the body of the murderer aud su-
icide has been recognized by farmer
named Williams, as that of young man
who worked for him few months last
summer in Hubbardton, eight miles from
Brandon. He also came to Williams's
house Thursday night last and stayed till
Saturday morning, when he started for
Brandon, as he said, TO take the train for
Montreal to ship on board vessel. He
claimed his name to be Charles Williams
of Bristol, England, where he had rela-
lives, and was eighteen years old. He W as
despoudent because he was alone in the
world. Mr.. Williams says that he was
quiet, pleasant and inoflensive, quite we'll
educated and fond of reading.

PROFESSOR HAYDEN and his corps of
explorers have already been rewarded in
their search after knowledge in the terri
tory of the far West by the discovery in
Southwestern Colorado and in Southeast
ern Utah of the remains of pre- historic cit
les, which show that the fertile valley of
the Animas riy er must have been inhabit-
ed centuries ago by highly intelligent and
cultivated race of people. Upon the banks
of that river they find the ruins of their
habitations, Notifications, aud also pottery
ware and drawings, the latter bearing in
scripiions, which as yet have not been in
terpreted. The Navajo Indians say, in re-
