The feeling of the gold men is rather that of
encouragement over the large vote given for
the Matthews resolution in the Senate indi-
eating that the silver bill may be passed over
q veto. The New York World takes a gloomy
view of the situation. and says the fact tina.
the resolution will not have the effect of law
binding on the Executive is important in a
legal aspect, but of little significance as
against the moral weight of a declaration on
such subject made by nearly twO-thrds of
both houses. The Times remarks glumly that
the fact that there is a prOpOrtiOnately larger
majority in the upper than the lower house
Tor the debasement of our currency and the
lowering of our credit, is the most telling com.
mentary that could be made on the deteriora-
tion OF the United States Senate. The Herald
endorses the declaration by August Belmont
'that the measures of covert reputation now
before Congress, and which have debauched
the democracy of the west, will. if successful,
put lasting stain on our public fame and for
ever destroy our national credit"
Evidently Wall street is in a state of mind
over the Senate vote.

HydrODhObia. Again.

We recently gave the details of a well-deyel-
oped case of hydrophobia in Georgetown in
which young man was bitten by a vagrant
dog. and hydrOphobia did not develop until
after the wound had healed and all fears of
danger had been dispelled. The medical fra
ternity found none of the alleged remedies
for the disease of any avail. a similar case
has just occurred at ChicOpee. Mass, where
the victim, a robust, intelligent man, was bit
ten by a yagrant dog After an interval of
two months from the time of the bite this
man, not fanciful, nervous Individual tor
tured by his fears, died in all the agOnies of
hydrOphobia. Hot vapOr was tried as rem
edy, but failed, the moisture throwing the sick
man into commissions. The drug curdri was
also tested. Sufficient quantities were injected
into his blood every hour to cause paralysis
and almost instant death in any other person
than a hydrOphObic patient. The sick man
was greatly relieved by this treatment, and his
commissions were checked to a considerable
extent; but no cure was effected, and the
world has yet to discover a certain remedy
for hydrOphObia. The good effects of the drug
were, however, sufficiently plain to recon-
mend its use in similar cases. The victim met
his death with cOmpOsure, but expressed the
natural feeling that lit seemed hard that a
strong well man should have to go for dog

Shot His Brides Foot OF.

The strangest of strange accidents
and one which might have led to graver
results, happened at the residence OF Y
H. Finn, near Houston, last FRIDAY
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Finn, who were pu'
lately married, were awakened by noise
which they thought came from under
the bed. Surprising burglars to be inc
cause, Mr.. Finn hurriedly jumped from
from he'd, got shotgun, and returned
Mrs. Finn, all excitement, was just Ms
ing, and her right foot hung over the
bedside. Mr.. Finn, supposing the
moving foot to be the head of the IN
truder, who was coming from his place
of concealment, without any ado vi
hesitancy, fired. The wife screamed
and the husband flew about in DELHI
UNI. A light was brought, and MI
Finn discovered that he had shot ms
wife instead of a burglar. Meanwhhe'
the bed-clothing caught fire from inc
discharge of the gun, and was soon
ablaze, but was quickly exlinguisheu.
Mrs. Film had a large part OF her icO'
torn away, and was bleeding proiusel!,
1t was first thought that amputaiion %
the whole foot would be necessary Ou'
it was sfterward found that three ioes
and a portion Of the side Of the lOO'

one year in new home the locusts in
variably wing their way back to their
permanent breeding-grounds, though
nearly all die of parasites or disease on

this. They prefer a law compelling
