Spitz Venom.

Two cases of hydrophobia are report
ed from Staten Island, and In both the
victims were bitten by Spitz dogs. ln
one case it is reported that the dog was
not rabid, and he appears to have been
only irritable in the other. Before the
great increase now noted in the fre-
9uency of these accidents it was thought
that society paid sufficiently for the ad-
vantage it derived from dogs by the
deaths they caused in communicating
rabies; yet that was when there were no
dogs about but the old accllmated
breeds, that did not go mad often, and SO
far as close observation could discover
did not cause hydrophobia save when
they had it themselves. 1t was bad
enough that way, and certainly it is IN
finitely worse to have in all our streets
and in many houses an animal which
seems to possess a virus capable OF
causing hydrophobia while the animal
himself is to all appearance In a normal
condition. Persons who care for the
lives of their little children should take
notice that the number of cases reported
is now large in which this dog, while
himself apparently pet mad, has caused
hydrophobia by his bite. They have
not, therefore, in regard to this species,
even that slight assurance OF safety
which, in-regard to other dogs, is derived
from the warning of evident sickness IN
the animal himsef.-Ne,o York Herald.

Patti, the Singer.

Adelina Patti, who is now creating
something of sensation in Europe on
account of her separation from her hus-
band, the Marquis de Caux, is now thirty
six years of age. She was born of Italian
parents at Madrid in 1S43 according to
her biogapher). Her mother, Madame
Barii Patti, was the prima donna Of the
Grand Theater of Madrid, and soon after
Adelina's birth she remo7ed to Milan.
She had four daughters, CloSilda, Amalia
(Mrs. Strakosch), Carlotta and Adelina.
Strange to say, Nadine Barii Patti
soon after giving birth to Adelina COM
pletely lost her fine voice. Adelina came
to this country with her parents when
only few years old, her father appear
ing in the old Chambers Street italian
Opera House with the Languirico COM
pany. At the age of nine she appeared
in the provinces when Strakosch made q
concert tour with Ole Bull and other
artists and sang the songs made famous
by Jenny Lind, Sontag, Bosio aud Others.
It is related that Sontag predicted al
ready then that Adelina would become
the greatest songstress of the age. Her
first great starring tour, however, was
undertaken at the age Of fourteen, when
she went with Strakosch, Gottschalk and
Others to the West Indies, and it is men
toned that at that early age already she
had an offer of marriage at Porto Rico
from the richest planter of the island.
In 1859, then girl, "not yet seven
teen," she created furore in opera IN
this country, and then returned to Eu-
rope where she met with a fervent well
come everywhere. She was great fav-
orite of European sovereigns, and sang
before no less than thirty of these.
When she married the marquis she was
twenty-five years old, end the bridegroom,
who was equerry to Napoleon, was nearly
seventeen years her senior. The Duke
of Manchester and Mr.. Costa gave away
the bride. Napoleon and the empress
used their influence to bring about the
marriage, and it was through them that
it was accomplished. He was Of an aristo-
cratic family, but poor as poverty ITSELF
Patti was wealthy and ambitious, and
the new union gave her an undisputed
entrance to the magic circle OF the
French court. No happiness could be
expected to result from such marriage,
in which the wife, on the one hand,
sought title, and the husband, on the
other. fortune. She could well afford
to pay 100000 francs in order to get rid
OF the marquis. When she married the
marquis one-third of her future earnings
was to 60 to her personally and two-thirds
were to go to the joint account OF herself
anil the marquis after having paid their
expenses, the marquis to accompany her
on her musical trips.

front of the poles, surrounded by these
coils of wire, is diaphragm of iron. A
mouthpiece, whose function is to con-
verge the sound on this diaphragm, sub
stantially completes the arrangement. The
operation of the instrument is thus des-
cribed by Prof. Bell: The motion OF
steel or iron in front of the poles OF the
magnet creates current of electricity in
coils surrounding the poles of the mag
net, and the duration of this current OF
electricity comedies with the duration OF
the motion of the steel or iron moved or
vibrated in the proximity OF the magnet.
When the human voice causes the dla-
phragm to vibrate, electrical undula-
tions are induced in the coils around the
magnets precisely similar to the undula-
tions of the air produced by the voice.
The coils are connected with the line
wire, and the undulations induced in them
travel through the wire, and passing
through the coils of another instrument
of similar construction at the other end
of the line are again resolved into air in
dulations by the diaphragm of this un-
strument. The voltaic battery is entirely
dispensed with. The line wire may be
of any given length, provided the insu-
lation is good. Prof. Bell further says
that soft tones can be heard across the
wires even more distinctly than loud
utterances, even whisper being audible.

G. ,unterfeit Coin.

There Is large amount OF counterfeit
coin in circulation, the New York Sun
says, Judging from the complaints OF
people engaged in all branches OF busl-
nesa. The counterfeits are Of all denom-
nations, beginning with a tive-cent
nickel and ending with the trade dollar:
Only few of the latter are in general
circulation. Half dollars, however, are
handled by everybody, and upon these
the counterfeiters have exerted Their
highest art. There are at present coun-
terfeits of four or five different substances
which closely resemble the genuine sill
yer half dollar. The most dangerous OF
these is conceded to be made of glass,
silvered over by some process, which
makes the counterfeit similar in appear
ance and feeling to the government coin.
Saloon keepers say that it is exceedingly
difficult to detect the fraud, particularly
as the ring is perfect. In an uptown
barroom one was taken from customer,
and the fact that it was counterfeit point
ed out to him. The barkeeper then gave
him change, saying "We get these glass
half dollars in every day, and they are
so good that with our customers we sell
dom say anything, as they pass ont with
out difficulty" The counterfeit quarters
are exceedingly numerous, and are well
calculated to deceive people who are not
used to handling coin. The stage lines
and the street cars without conductors
suffer considerably from the abundance
of counterfeit coin, as passengers can
slip bad money into the boxes in pay
ment of fares without discovery. The
losses in consequence are so serious that
the advisability of taking out the boxes
and employing conductors is under con-
sileration.

dreary and hopeless definitions are

A Victim to the Opium Habit.

The following particulars of the sui
eide of NJ. NJ. Wishard, late superinten-
dent of the Soldiers Orphans Home, at
Knightstown, Ind, are CLEANED from the
New Orleans Times:
With erect bearing and deliberate
movements, he entered the st. James
Hotel and straightway sought one of the
closets, from which he emerged wounded
to the death. He first cut his throat
with penknife and then inserting a
pair of scissors into the wound, vainly
attempted to sever the main artery to
better consummate the end, but before he
accomplished his purpose he fell ex-
hausted to the floor. Here he was found
still breathing. A stretcher was impro-
vised and the man was borne to the hos
pital, but ere many squares had been
traversed he breathed his last. Upon
his person was found the following let
ter, written in bold, firm hand:
Ny own true name is NJ. NJ. Wishard,
late superintendent Orphans Home,
Knightstown, Ind. I am paying dear
for my sin. Opium is the cause of it
all. Write DR.. Hannaman some one,
please, when am gone. God only knows
how [ have fought this terrible habit,
but whenever it gets hold of the system,
it is too late. am expecting every mo-
ment to be arrested and taken to jail,
where shall never come out alive.
God pity the opium eater. Am almost
past going now.
In the inside of the sheet, evidently
written while nerving himself to the des-
perate deed, was the following:
Oh that I had been wise in the day
of this visitation. I have faint hope OF
forgiveness. I then began to fight it
with the desperation that almost crazed
me, and when nearly well, would become
discouraged and go back again. My
dear family is my regret. Oh! that |
had been wise in time. No man ever
had dearer family than I had. A bet
ter wife and children no man ever saw
How cruel I have been. If through
Jesus blood. Although [ have been a
great sinner, was SO much intoxicated
by opium that I thought was a Chris
tian, but alas, alas, when too late, [ fear
I find was not. The opium habit was
contracted more than ten years ago,
though not confirmed until only about
eight years since. I live, of which !
have little hope, I would cheerfully
serve them. I fear my wife and little
ones are dead or insane. God knows
cannot recall my life.
The Beaufort tribune and Port Royal commercial. [volume] (Beaufort, S.C.) 1877-1879, 1877-03-22

SO ended the letter. Poor man! [
inquired of my father if nothing could be
done to trace him, and get him to return.
He replied that he would do what he
could. We succeeded in tracing him to
New York, and there the clue was lost.
We tried every means which occurred to
us for discovering his whereabouts, and
inserted advertisements in the New York
and the Canadian papers, begging him
to let us know at least that he was alive
and well; but all our endeavors were
yain-we never heard of him again.
We often think of him with pity and
regret, for, whatever were his faults,
there must have been some good in a
man who was capable of feeling such
profound and sincere contrition for "a
guilty intention.-Nlustrated Weekly.
