A correspondent of the jV0rld sends to tl9t
journal an extract from a pamphlet on hydro
phobia translated from the French Of NJ IL.
Bonley by Professor A. Liautard, Of the
American Veterinary College OF that city.
The facts are not new, but there is so much
public misapprehenslon concerning them
that they are vol worth reproduction. NJ.
Bonley says:
| "Bcware of q dog which begins to be sick.
| All sick dogs, as principle, must be sns-
pected. Beware especially OF one that is sad
morose and seeks for solitude; one that does
not know where to rest; one that goes and
comes, rambles about, snaps and barks with.
out reason, whose looks are dull and gloomy
and whose bright expression is lost. Beware
of the dog that looks about and attacks I'M
aglnary phantoms. Beware Of one that is
suddenly too aifectionatc, asking for your
caresses by his pitiful and repeated cravings.
The mad dog is not of necessity hydrophobic.
He is not afraid of water, and he will not run
away if one offers him drink. He will
drink as long as he is able to swallow. Rabid
dogs have been known to swim across rivers.
The bark of the mad dog is thoroughly char
acteristic Instead of the normal and sue.
cessive barks II Is hoarse, lower in tone, pro.
longed and not so strong. After the first bark,
made at full strength a series of five, SIX, sew
en- or eight others Immediately succeeds low
er in strength and thrown out from the throat
The bravest and strongest dog will IN the
presence of mad dog show cowardice, and
instead of attempting to fight with him will
try to escape. The rabid dog Is always vio-
iently impressed and irritated by the sight of
animals OF its own species. 1t is generally
believed that mad dog saivates abundantly
that he froths at the mouth. This is seri.
Gus error. The salivary secretion is increased
in hydrophobia only when the disease is at
it paroxysms."

Frozen Mines.

town in that territory, in communication TO
Silllman's Journal One Of them is the Stew.

hundred feet above the level OF the sea, in
Clear Creek county. At depth Of from six
" to two hundred feet, the hole or vein of
silver ore, as well as the surrounding rock,
was found to be frozen solid. There are no
indications of thaw summer or winter; the
whole frozen territory Is surrounded by hard,
MASSIVE rock, and the lode itself is as hard
and solid as the rock The miners being IN.

FORCE OF HABIT.-Slr George Slaunt0n
visited a man in India who had committed q
murder, and in order not only tn save his life,
but what was of much more consequence, his
caste, he submitted TO the penalty imposed /;
this was, that he sholld sleep Cor seven years
on bsdstead without any mattress, the whole
surface of which was studded with points o..
iron, resembling mails, but not so sharp as 20
penetrate the flesh. Sir George saw him ia
the nth year of his probation, and his skin
was then like the hide OF rhlnoceros, bu;
more csllous; at that time, however, lac could
sleep comfortably on his " bed ofthorns," and
remarked that, al the expiration OF the term
OF his sentence, he should most probably con-

THE eoLORED WEST POINTER.

In the West Point graduating class for 1877
was the co!ored young man Fllpper, the first
of his race. 1'f his experience and prospects
correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
gives the following account:
Flipper, the colored cadet, VINO graduates
pretty well up IN his class, said today that he
is determined TO get into either the Ninth or
Tenth colored cavalry regiment II possible
He seems 10 be very happy in view OF the
honorable close of his academic career, and
entertains little doubt that he can procure the
appointment he wishes. When asked wheth-
er he was not aware that there was law pro-
viding that even colored troops must be Off.
cered by white men, he replied that he had
heard something of that years ago, but did
not think it was true. /" If there is such q
law" he said emphatically, but with good
humor, at Is unconstitutional and cannot be
enforced" He added that several weeks ago
he wrote to prominent gentleman in Ala
bama to inquire what the existing law on the
subject was, and had not yet received an an.
swer | questioned him about his expert
ence in the academy, and he said that he had
suffered but little ON account Of his race. The
first year was very hard, as the class al made
their dislike manifest in a variety of ways.
d" That" he said, was in great measure
caused by the bad conduct of Smith, the col.
ored cadet who preceded me. When the class
found out that | was not like him they treated
me we'll. The professors acted toward me In
every respect as toward the others, and the
cadets, think, do not dislike me. But they
don't associate with me. | don't care for that.
If they don't want to speak 10 me | don't
want them TO, I'm sure" Save IN the recita-
ton room Flipper never heard the sound OF
his own voice for months and months al a
time; he was kept so hard at work all the
time that he did not mind it. II he should
Join a regiment, however, he would be more
alone even than lac has been here, for the rs.
ISOLATION with other officers IN the line of Gu.
" would not be so close as 1t has been with
the cadets. He would be isolated-os,racised
and he would feel II more keenly, because
he would have more leisure for socisl inter
course, aud his mind would not be 80 occu-
pied ~ il has been here with studies.
Senator Blaine, IN the course OF q converse
ton last night thought the career Of Fllpper
would be 10 90 south and become leader OF
his race. He could in that way become fam.
Gus and could accomplish much good for tie
country.

An Energetic Cripple.

The enterprise of a recent employe OF the
New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road cannot be too much praised. While
taking trunk out of baggage car from
Boston in the Springfield depot some time
ago, he was thrown down and hurt. He
suffered terribly and crawled around on
crutches until The Boston and Albany and the
New Haven roads united and gave him
$4,000, when lie was ils,altaleously aud
completely cured. Shortly afterward man
on the Boston and Albany read was killed
and the company gave the widow $1,000
The former cripple who had scored $4,000
already, soon married her and thus counted
$4,000. He recovered his health SO complete
ly that he was able to work again on the
railroad, but finally, not being hurt again
within a reasonable time, he retired to e
farm, which he had bought with part of the
proceeds of his former calamties, and where
he is living in peace and qule,uess and under
the consultations of the reflection that virtue
is ITS own reward,

London, England, covers an area OF ,S,0SO
acres, or l22 square miles. When the census
was taken last year, there were 1000 miles OF
streets 1900 miles Of sewers 4l7,7G7 inhabited
houses and population OF 3,4e9,42S. The
Inclusion of fifteen miles around makes the
population 4,2s6,G06. There are over 1000
professional men, 2l1 900 of the commercial
class, 505, 900 mechanics, C5,O00 laborers, and
$4,000 whose occupation is underlined. There
are 1,G3322l males and 1,S66,207 females.
OF the women, 500, $50 are married and $780,
COG are domestic servants. There are 5000
millners and dressmakers, 81 900 seamshesses
and shrtmakers, and $4,000 laundresses.
Twenty.nlne thousand are returned as gentle
women. The number Of children reported
as attending school is 314, 600. London, though
much larger in population than New York,
is not as densely packed as the latter. New
York, in 1870, with population Of 942, 292,
had only G4O44 dwelling'houses, and the
averge number of persons to dwelling was
14,72. In London, the average last year was
$685. and this was smaller than the average,
