Crosse had been bitten severely by a cat,
which, on the same day died from hydropho-
bia. He seems resolutely to have dismissed
from his mind the fears which must natural
ly have been suggested by these circumstan-
ces. Had he yielded to them, as most men
would, he might not improbably have sue
cumbed within few days or weeks to an at
tack of mind d-created hydrophobia-so to de-
scribe the fatal ailment which ere now has
been known to kill persons who had been bit
ten by animals perfectly free from rabies.
Three months passed, during which Crosse
enjoyed his usual health. At the end of that
time, however, he felt one morning severe
pain in his arm, accompanied by severe
thirst. He called for water, but, ''at the in
stant," he says, that was about to raise
the tumbler to my lips a strong spasm shot
across my throat Immediately the terrible
conviction came to my mind that was about
to fall victim to hydrophobia, the conse-
quence of the bite l had received from the
cat The agony of mind l endured for one
hour is indescrbable the contemplation of
such horrible death-death from hydropho-
bia-was almost insupportable. The pain,
which had first commenced in my hand,
passed up to the elbow, and from thence to
the shoulder, threatening to extend. felt
all human aid was useless, and ! believed
that / must die. At length began to reflect
upon my condition said to myself, Ell
ther shall die or l shall not if do it will
only be a similar fate which many have suf-
fered, and many more must suffer, and l
must bear it like a man; if, on the other
hand, there is any hope of my life, my only
chance is in summoning my utmost resolu-
ton, defying the attack, and exerting every
effort of my mind. Accordingly, feeling that
physical as well as mental exertion was neces-
sary took my gun, shouldered it, and went
out for the purpose of shooting, my arm ach-
ing the while intolerably. / met with no
sport, but walked the whole afternoon, ex-
erting at every step went strong mental
effort against the disease. When | returned
to the house | was decidedly better | was
able to eat some dinner, and drank water as
usual. The next morning the aching pain
had gone down to my elbow, the following
day it went down to the wrist, and the third
day left me altogether. l mentioned the cir
cumstance to DIR. Kinglake, and he said he
certainly considered had an attack of hydro
phobia, which would possibly have proved
fatal had not struggled against it by strong
effort of mind. Tile COrRhiH NdgaziHe.

Two miners, says the Pittsburg Telegraph,
sat down in the wilderness Of southern Utah
few months ago to munich their bread and
then pursue their wanderings and their search
for wealth. They were "prospectors' who
having left the beaten track of treasure. seek
ers wandered off to the amusement of their
fellows, into the comparatively level country,
where months of searching had revealed moth
ing.
''We had better get back into the mountain
country jim, said his 'pard. -
As he spoke his tool struck something few
inches under the sand, and the prospector
found a fracture on the rocks and picked up
a small yellowish piece Of stone.
"What is that = said Tom as he saw with
what feverish oagerness his 'pard" examined
the piece, ,,,,.,.,.,-.
They were out of provisions and clothes
they had not means with which to pay the fee
for securing their "ind" After opening
their prize sufficiently to show that a vein of
ore existed they offered it to Mr.. Ben Morgan
Of Pittsburgh, who is operating smelling
works few miles below Salt Lake City, for
SIS, 600 Mr.. Morgan sought the advice of
the Superintendent Of the Ontario Mine To-
getherthey carefully examined the new find
and, unfortunately for them, they decided it
was not worth rsking the money on. The

again were stranded, when one of them wrote
to two Irish friends who had already lost
money on supposed finds" and besought
them to try their luck once more. After much
importuning they invested enough money to
give the miners good start, when the devel-
opment Of the mine proceeded rapidly. -Four
shafts were sunk and number of interme-
diAte galleries run which connected the shafts.
The work was pushed solely with view to
show the magnitude Of the deposit. It was
the marvel of the whole country. Conserva-
tive old engineers measured the ore-bodies
actually in sight taking nothing for granted,
and made many analyses in all parts Of the
mine TO determine its richness, and the most
cautious calculated the silver in sight to be
worth S27, 600, 600. Jay Cooke hearing of
this prize, secured an option of one half in
terest for -, 800 600 for a short time, and,
Fastening eastward, he induced number of
Englishmen in New York to invest, and they
took it at this price, the four original owners
declining to sell the remaining half at any
price This is the now famous Horn Silver
Mine or "New Bonanza" around which
town has in n few months clustered called
Frisco, and to which one mine the Utah
Southern Railroad will this summer be ex-
tended nearly three hundred miles.

ATTRACTIVE LUNcHEoNs A writerin Scrib-

ing the school luncheon so unattractive as to
destroy the chid's appetite. She says =
"rhere is something very damPening to the
appetite in the aspect of thick bread and but

a cookie or two sticking to the parcel, and an
apple covered with crumbs at bottom of pail.
Such a luncheon will often prevent delicate
child from eating at all. A little care spent
in preparaton-in cutting the bread trinity
and neatly, packing the cake in white paper,
and the whole in fresh napkin, in choosing
a pretty basket to take the place of the tin
pail-is not pains thrown away, Some chill
dren are born fastidious and with a distaste
for food. They require to be tempted TO eat
at Attempted, not by unwholesome good
les, but by taking trouble to make simple
things dainty and attractive to them. We
have heard a grown woman, whose fastidi-
BUSINESS had survived her childhood, decribe
with shudder the effect which her dinner
basket at school had upon her. The very
sight of it took away all appetite, and she
went through the afternoon faint and fasting
rather than meddle with its contents By
all means bake the custard in a pretty cup,
and do what is possible to give the luncheon
an appetizing appearance to the little people
who depend upon it for the working force of
their long school day"

The DEADLY Poison OF THE CENTIPEDE.-
Several Mexicans were in camp at the mouth
of Memphis Greek, Utah Territory, and
were lying about the fire, when one of them,
Telestoro Crucas, saw large centipede, fully
nine inches long, travelling slowly over his
leg. Knowing that the least motion would
make it sink its deadly claws into his skin,
without moving his leg he got out his revol-
yer and waited until the beast had almost
reached his knee, when slowly putting the
mouth of the pistol to his head he pulled and
the centipede was gone. But c4ntipede's
claws are quicker than gunpowder, and Crucas
began to have cramps in few minutes.
The track of the reptile along his leg turned a
brownish yellow, and the place where it was
killed swelled frightfully. He rapidly grew
worse, and in a little over four hours he died
in great agony. The most singular part of
the story is that the bullet from Crucas's pis-
tol cut small nick in the foreleg of a mule
that was tethered near by, and at daylight
next morning the mule was also dead, with
its leg SO swollen that the skin had burst in
several places. Canton (Ie1as) Pfgildne.

A good many persons have puzzled them
selves, no doubt, over the queer little square
notch which projects from Massachusetts, into
Connecticut about half way across the north
ern boundary. A writer in the New Ha-
ven Register explains that years ago when
the boundary at the point in question was un-
settled, a local Connecticut politician belong
ing to the Federalist party got the State Leg
islature so TO ''geTymander" the town OF
CRANKY as to give the part included in the
notch TO Massachusetts. As most of the
Democrats in the town happened TO live in
the ceded part, the Federalists were thus en-
abled to maintain their local predominance.
CRANKY has for years been steadfast Re
publican town, while Southwiek in Massachu-
setts, which got the ceded part, has been as
steadily Democratic.
