A VICTIM OF RABIES,

HORRIBLE Denth Of q Deta,Oore Nan from,
Hyc1rophobta.
A dispatch from Wilmington, Del, Dec. 18th,
says: as long ago as last June. George Sedge-
wick, an employee of the Delaware Western
railroad was bitten by dog. This evening he
died in the city hospital from hydrophobia, af-
ter suffering untold agonies. At the time
when Sedgewick received the wound which
caused his death he was locking the dog into a
freight car. The animal turned on him and
bit him on the bark of tho right hand inflict-
ing severe cash. In the course of time the
wound healed, and nothing further was
thought about the matter until Sunday after
noon, when Mr.. Sedgewick was taken with
chill, followed by slight fever. He slept
very little during the night, and sent for
physician, who suspected the patient had been
bitten and administered the usual remedies.
Yesterday the symptoms of hydrophobia
were more pronounced and distinct. The sight
of water caused spasms, and when DR.. Draper
waved hat in front of his face the slight
draft OF cool air caused him to raise his hands
and throw back his head, while convulsive
shudder distorted his features. He also sighed
frequently. and occasionally gasped for breath.
At his own request he was taken to the city
hospital where he has since beeen under the
treatment of DIR. Shortledge.
Last night the patient became delirious and
violent, and at midnight he became SO wild it
was found necessary to put him in irons. At 3
o'clock this morning he arose and wanted to
know who brought him to his present location.
He insisted that he was perfectly we'll. and was
determined to go home. Finally the delirious
attack passed off, and he became passive again
AT daylight he appeared better, and swallowed
some pills with great difficulty. His wife vis-
lied him during the forenoon, and he talked
nationally with her. Occasionally he would be
attacked by spasms, and when he forced down
glass of milk the effort was agonizing to wit
ness. He could not eat, and nothing solid had
passed his lips since Sunday. This afternoon
he said he was going to die, and talked about
his death. BY the middle Of the afternoon he
became delirious and struggled desperately.
At 6 o'clock he died, after coming out of a con
vulsion.
Complaints are made generally that quite
number of persons have been bitten during the
past few months in various parts of the city.
On Friday afternoon man was severely bitten
on the calf of the right leg by dog which ran
out of yard and came down Eighth street to
attack him. The man went over to the city
hospital and had the wound dressed by DR..

AN EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES.
Why Sherman Permits Large Balances OF
Government Funds to Remain tn CeY-
tain Banks,

V"U oHeFHsNH Ier7HttS Large B0tNuceS OF
Government Funds to Remain tn Ger
tain Banks.
Washington Special Dec 20) to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
When Secretary Sherman answered Judge
Kelleys first resolution, calling for a statement
of balances held by national banks on loan ac-
count on Sept. 80 and Nov. 80, 1878, he did so
without any further explanatory statement
than to give the figures, and to add that th ere
was no such account with other than author
lied national repositories. Judge Kelley then
offered another resolution, going back to March
l, 1876, and going forward to Jan. l. 1879, for
he had no expectation that the resolution would
be answered before the holiday recess. The
answer came in to-day, however, and in it Sec
rotary Sherman goes somewhat into details, and
explains the why's and wherefores of such large
| balances. The period embraced is from last
March, the secretary stating that there were no
balances on loan account standing to the credit
of the treasurer of the United States in any
national bank from March, 1875, to January,
1878. He explains how it happened that there
are such heavy balances especially ia
the First National bank of New York,
and announces his purpose to continue the
same mode of deposit in and Of the sale of
4 per cent. bonds during next year. The
| answers to these resolutions have brought out
just what Judge Kelley intended they should,
viz: that Eastern banks, and especially the
First National Of New York (the syndicate
bank), were especially and peculiarly favored
in this regard. Between the dates covered by
tire reports March and December inclusive)
the lowest balance in all the banks was on
March LIST. when it was 1924 1886; and the high
| est in October, when it was 1854, 207. Sl5. The
balances for this period aggregate $685. 1913, 9S1 ;
and of this immense sum 1898. 783, 020 was in
the First National, leaving 1897, no. 96l to be
distributed in repositories IN diff
ferent parts of the country, and
of that balance two-thirds was held in
other banks in New York and in New Eng
land repositories. The First National had an
| average of over $26,0O0,G00 per month. 1t
does not appear from the report that 1T had
any balance in March. In April it held within
S5l1, APT of the whole amount, the total bal
| ance in all the banks being S3.023.065. In
May, when the balances aggregated $40, 732 .025.
it held SIG, sec, 652 In June, out of a total of
| $2l ,1O4 ,169, it held $l5,S65 083. In July it
held $32, 655 1874 out of $40 041, 93l; in August
1886, 875, 220 out of S5O,095, 737; in September
S4l, 914,946 out of $50, l63, OBJ; in October,
| S45, 097 062 out of 1854. 207. SIS; in November,

this would seem to indicate special favors. Mr..
A. 8. Hewitt, who in part represents New York,
| seemed to so regard it, and took special pains
this afternoon to refer to the fact and thus
bring it prominently to the attention of the
country.

Grape Culture.

1t is surprising that so many families
in the country are willing to live year
after year without cultivating single
grape vine about their dwellings. They
are compelled to purchase this delicious
fruit for the table or not taste it during
the season. There is a common I'M
preston that to cultivate grapes per-
fectly IA vast amount of knowledge and
tact is required. To many the simple
trimming of vine is Il mystery. This
is an erroneous view, and ought not to
prevail. Any person of common in
telligence can learn in an hour how to
trim and nOurish vines; and if instruc-
ton cannot be obtained from some eX-
perienced cultivator, there are books
filled with cuts and illustrations which
make everything plain. Three vines of
as many different varieties, planted i'll
some sunny nook or by the side of some
building so as to obtain shelter, will, if
properly cared for, furnish many a
bushel of delicious grapes every year.
Select Concord and two or three other
varieties. Make the ground mellow
and rich by the use of spade, and by
employing old manures, finely ground
bones and ashes, and set cut the plants.
In three years the rich clusters will ap-
pear, and in four years the product will
be abundant. 1t is well to have vines
planted SO that the waste liquids from
the dwellings, can be used in fertiliza-
ton. If there is any food that the vine
especially loves, it is the soapy liquids
which accumulate on washing days in
families. Vines drenched every week
with these liquids will flourish astonish-
ingly, and extend themselves SD as to
cover large buildings, every branch
bearing fruit. We say to our readers,
plant vines.-N. E. Homestead

Doing Without His Beer.

Thousands of workmen toll to keep
some brewer rich or to clothe the wives
of the rumseller in silk, while their own
wives dress in cheap Calico To such
we commend this anecdote: In Eng
land there was man named VIM.
Bailey, who had once been farm
laborer, and who now owns an estab-
lishment whose business amounts to
thousands and thousands of dollars.
Some years ago. this man happened to
cross a wheat field and saw some la
borers at work moving. He was dressed
in fine suit of black, but walked over
among the labOrers, and asked one OF
them if he might be allowed to NOW.
The man said s'Yes,n and Bailey took
a scythe and began to work. He had
not been long engaged when one OF the
laborers said, in some surprise, noticing
his attire and .deeming him wealthy
gentleman, 'fWhy, you have moved
before !" .,.,
eyes, I have" Bailey responded, 'sand
used at one time to drink beer regu-
larly when | did. But while l was
moving one day, and drinking beer,
the idea suddenly came to me that !
could NOW just as well without beer"
"Oh l couldn't work without beer"
interrupted one of the laborers. 81
never could get on"
"Well,n continued Bailey, latter |
began to NOW without the beer, l soon
dicovered that could get on without
moving altogether"
eve should like that very WE'LL" said
the labOrers.
"Oh, no." returned Bailey "you
cannot do without your beer, and you
will go on moving and moving all
your lives, without rising to anything
better"
