Specific Against HydrOphobia.

DR.. Grzyvala, of Krivoe Ozeroe,
Podolia, Russia, for whose trustworthi-
ness Prof. Gubler, of Paris, vouches,
declares that, after a series of critical
trials, which he describes at length, he
has found that, after having had oppor-
tunities of treating at least 100 cases of
men bitten by rab1d dogs, with the
XahthiaInl Spi11osaIna, he has never in
any one of these case failed to ward off
the hydrophobia. He gives some
startling examples. During the Crimean
war, a family of twelve persons had
been bitten by hydrophobic wolf.
Six of them entered his wards in the
hospital of Olschanka, Government of
Podolia, District of Balta. They were
treated with infusion of the leaves of
the xanthium, and all recovered. The
six others, who were treated by the
actual cautery and the daily use of
genesta tinctoria and other drugs, died
with hydrophobia in the course of
twelve to sixty days. He recounts many
other facts not less striking. For an
adult, the dose is sixty centigrammes of
the dry powder, repeated three times a
day, and continued during six weeks.
Children under IL take half that guam
tity. The dose for animals is much
larger. A herd of thirty oxen had
been bitten by mad wolf; eight had
succumbed with symptoms of hydrolalc-
bia. The Commissary of Police cA.ne
to DR.. Grzyvala for his antirabic
powder" He gave three ounces of the
powder, with bran, daily to each of the
remaining animals; none of them suf-
fered frcm the disease. There are ex-
amples of which DIR. Grzyvala says he
has 100 others.-British-American

HOW SOLDIERS FARED IN '76.

Some curious old papers, some of them
on State affairs, have come into the
possession of the Secretary of War at
Washington. The following is sadly in
teresting for the disclosure it makes of
terrible privations in the patriot cause
in the Revolutionary days, such as
finally tempted too successfully one
brilliant officer to become a traitor.
Arnold's suffering does not excuse him,
for the rest suffered as much as he and
remained true.
Among the papers is letter of Bene-
dict Arnold, written just thirty-four
days before he consigned his name to in
fanny. 1t is dated at West Point, and
addressed to Colonel Pickering, quarter
master at Philadelphia. 1t tells a sad
story of the privations of the Revolution
ary heroes. He states "that there is
not tent or any kind of camp equipage
at this poverty-struck place" that "the
quartermsster's department is entirely
empty, and that there is only one camp
kettle to eighty or one hundred men,"
He complains very bitterly of this
state of things, and begs Colonel Picker
ing to find remedy, and adds post
script to his letter in which he says:
"There is not quire of paper or article
of stationery at this post or in the de-
partment."
To this grievous complaint Colonel
Pickering replied: al am unhappy to
inform you that have not yet received
one farthing of money for any purpose
whatever; nor can get any, there being
none in the treasury, and the articles
cannot be supplied. You shall hear from
me again when 1 get to headquarters
which shall be when 1 can obtain money
to defray the expenses of my journey

GERMAN post-ofices are geological gar
dens on a small scale. In the course of
a year as many as forty thousand live
animals are sent by post, and if crabs,
frogs, bees and small insects are counted,
the total will be among the million.
The post Office authorities haye the
privilege of excluding such animals as
may be deemed either dangerous or dis
agreeable; but within the last six months
only thirty-nine packages of living ami
mails were refused, among which were
an alligator, done up in box considered
too fragile; lot Of dogs, whose persis-
tent barking could not be quieted; and
number of pigeons loosely tied up in a
sack. On the other hand, during the
same period, a crocodile, scores of birds
of prey, monkeys, serpents, leopard,
and four living bear cubs were trans
mitted by post.

A POETS TESTIMONY.

Mr.. William Morris, the poet and ar
tistic furniture designer, in an address
which he delivered the other day in
Birmingham before the students of the
Society of Arts and School of Designs,
upheld the idea that the great reason
why English work was 80 bad was that
the men hated their work. This he as
cribed to the fact that the work was
ugly and that there was no art in it. He
said: 1t is quite true and very sad to
say that If any one nowadays wants
piece of ordinary work done by gar
dener, carpenter, mason, dyer, weaver,
smith, or what you will, he will be q
lucky rarity If he get it we'll done. He
will, on the contrary, meet on every side
with evasions of plain duties and a dis.
regard of other mems rights" He adds
that " the blindness and hurry of civil
ization as it now is have to answer a
heavy charge as to the enormous amount
of pleasureless woodwork that tires
every muscle of the body and every
atom of the brain, and which is done
without pleasure and without aim work
that everybody who has to do with it
tries to shuttle off in the speediest way
that dread of starvation or ruin will al
low him. / am sure that the dishonesty
in the daily acts of life, complaint Of
which are in all mems mouths, and
which ! can answer for does exist, il
only the inevitable result of the world
in the hurry and the war of the count
ing house and the war of the battle field
having forgotten that pleasure in oul
daily labor which nature cries out fol
as its DUE"
Mr.. Morris may be very sensible il
wishing to induce a greater feeling o.
art in common life, which would MAKE
work more interesting and agreeable
and daily life pleasanter. But both HI
and Mr.. Ruskin and his companions O
the Guild of st. George are mistaken j
they think that that can only be accom-

A Family Saved by a Cat.

Last Saturday, Hiram Holdridge and
wife, of this city, went to Webster to
spend the Sabbath with their son-in-
law, J. 81. Van Antwerp. The family
and their guests sat up quite late, and
it was after the midnight hour when all
retired. About o'clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Van Antwerp was aroused by
the loud mewing Of a cat that has been
a pet of the family for many years. Iu
fact, "puss" seemed unusually dis
turbed, and, contrary to all previous
conduct on her part, made quite a
" racket" at the chamber-door. Mr..
Van Antwerp paid but little attention
to the noise as soon as he ascertained
the cause, and fell asleep. Shortly after
4 o'clock, however, he was again awak-
ened in the same manner, and was ter
rifed on discovering that the whole
house, even the room in which he was
sleeping, was wrapped in flames. He
awoke his wife, jumped from the win
dow, with difficulty got the badly-fright-
ened lady from the proximity of the
flames, and then gave the alarm to Mr..
Holdridge and wife and other members
of the household in time for them to
save themselves. = Rochester Demo

The President Veto Message.

The President sent message to Congress
vetoing the Army Appropriation Bill 1t is
quite lengthy, and goes considerably into
details. In the first place the President
says there is no objection to the ApproprIa
tion Bill itself, and no objection would be
offered if extraneOus matter had not been
attached.
Second, the sixth section repeating the
law allowing troops to keep the peaceat the
polls, is already the law of the land--that
is, troops are prevented from going TO the
polls by what is called the posse comitdtus
law, passed by the late Congress. Since the
passage of that law no troops have been
allowed near the polls at any election
and will not be as long as the present
Executive occupies his office or the
law remains on the statute books.
There is no disposition on his part to vio.
late this law or to allow it's violation. There
fore, with that law in force and undisputed,
it is necessary to pass another containing
virtually the same provisions, and still less
excuse for attaching it to an appropriation
bill.
The President goes on to show that when
the posse conaitdtus law was passed its friends
claimed (which aim was admitted by its
opponents) that it settled the question of
troops at the polls, and since then the
law has been vigorously obeyed, and
would continue to be. There is therefore
no need offurther legislation on this subject,

Nearly Buried During a Trance.

Mrs. Owenslagle, who lives about five
or six miles southwest of this city, was
taken violently i'll several days ago, and
in short time died, to all appearances.
The friends and relatives were con-
vinced that the lady was dead, and
preparations were made for the inter
ment of the remains. Saturday the
body was dressed for burial and placed
in coffin. The friends began to col
lect at the residence of the bereaved
family. Suddenly slight moan was
heard to issue from the coffin in which
the body had but recently been placed.
This greatly startled the assembled
neighbors, and the people were about
to rush from the room when the hus-
band of the lady approached the coffin
and was astonished to find the body
moist and warm. A closer examination
disclosed the fact that the woman was
breathing. Restoratives were applied
and the supposed dead came back to
life, and soon was able to sit up and
converse Orego1aian.

An Englishman writes to local Eng
lish paper that having spent about a
year and half in Missouri and Kansas,
he pronounces the opinion that English
folks thinking of establishing themselves
in those States had far better remain at
home, unless they possess frames of iron
and constitutions incapable of being in
jured by climatic influences. The
rapid changes of temperature and the
prevalence of missma are very trying to
the ordinary Englishman, while the
wsrst of it Is that he does not receive a
reward proportionate to his suffering.
Bad as the times are in England lately,
the writer declares that the English
working class "don't know the full
meaning of bad times until they go to
America" He himself was fully pre-
pared to meet any reasonable difficulties,
and to have uphill work for some years.
But what with constant illness in his
family, and the paralyzed condition Of
trade in every branch, his trials proved
insrperable, and he accordingly returned
home a sadder and wiser man.

A Good Word for the Hog.

Special trade journalism, which in
this country has produced newspapers
devoted to dry goods, iron, coal, drugs,
and even plumbing, has lately in France
given birth to Pork Butchers Mont
tor. One of its most thoughtful articles
thus far has been on the hog, personal
ly considered. This animal, hitherto
"frightfully illuminated" says the
Mo71iteur, nevertheless, like all truly
good creatures, repays ingratitude by
benefits. And, first Of all, what q lying,
malicious proverb is that which says
dirty as pig He dirty? Come, now;
you don't know him. Study him with
attention, examine him seriously, 10y
ally, as an upright, impartial judge, and
you will agree with us that, on the con-
trary, he is of exemplary cleanness, and

the yard to the pike, when the elder Pavey
came out of the house, he having been in
bed, and ordered his wife, with threats, to
go into the house, and ordered Link to
leave. High and hot words followed,
which aroused Taylor Pavey, who was in
bed, and he came out partly dressed
aud started with his father out into the
road after Link, who was retreating
toward his horse, which was hitched to the
fence, about seventy-6ve yards north of the
house. He was followed to large white
oak tree, which stands beside the road, and
at that point three shots were fired, and at
the foos of that tree, almost touching each
other, !sy Samuel Pavey, shot through the
body, and his son, with two bullets in his
body, and both dead. The weapon was a
thirty-two caliber fve-cartridge revolver.
The young man Went to Leesburg, and gave
himself up.

Statistics.

The records of marriage offer some
curious columns. Statistics are con-
tinually forcing upon our notice fixed
percentage of repentant old bachelors;
also, of young bachelors that marry
widows; also, of young women that
marry old men, and of widows that re-
new their VOWS; while the ratio of second,
third and fourth marriages is very con-
slant.
Indeed, it has most profanely come to
pass that, just as the stars are nothing
but points of vast triangles and diagrams
to cold -blooded astronomer, SO every
unmarried woman stands as an algebraic
symbol to the eye of the social mathe-
matician; if she is 20 years old, repre-
senting three-quarters of likelihood
that she will change her name; if 25,
standing for one-quarter of the same
possibility, if 80, reduced to fraction of
one divided by ten: and then decreas-
ing in geometrical ratio which it would
hardly be polite to put into figures
here.
On the contrary, a man of Is repre-
sents the fraction one-half as to the
probabilities of marriage, which is so
vulgar a fraction that most young men of
that period strive ardently to annihilate
it by finding the other and better half
which rest ores their integrity, subtance
and show
