Crystal Springs Monitor.I
About four months ago, as Mr..
L. j, Lackey, IL young man living
near Crystal Springs, was return
ing home from IA party late in the
evening, he was fiercely attacked
by rabid dog on the road. The
dog was IL powerful animal and he
had to fight for his life, which he did
with great courage. The dog seiz-
cd his left hand and held on to it
with great tenacity, mangling it
with his teeth. Find
Ing it impossible 10 rid himself from
the hold Of the beast, he drew his
pocket knife, which lie opened with
his teeth and severed the rabid an
finals head from his body. The
wound on bis hand WIS very se>
we're one, but it soon healed. APP
prehrnsIons of danger, however,
caused great unrasinesS in the
minds OF Ills parents, and no hing
was left undone TO prevent the SAD
result which has happened. He
WAS even sent to north Miss s ,ipl
to test the virtues Of tho mad

Talnagc's Triumph.

st. Louis Republican,
Talmage has been "triumphantly
vindicated." That is, twenty-five
Brooklyn presbyters voted him all
right, and sixteen voted him all
wrong. 1t is the Beecher jury on a
larger scale, and will have no more
effect upon public opinion. Those
who like the Talmage style of doing
spiritual business will throw up
their hats and shout. Those who
do not like that style will turn on
their heels and laugh. Aud if re-
ligion can be damaged by such ex-
hibitions of human folly, then the
cause for which Talmage and his
fellow>presbyters profess to be
working will receive more injury
than they can atone for in the rest
Of their natural liveS-runaing at
the rateOt two sermons a week. The
last scene in the last act of this
Glen ical farce is as rich as anything
to he found iu the whole range Of
ecclesiastical history:
"TaImage took the floor and said
he bore no grudge toward his ene>
mics. He likened those who OPP
posed him to creeping things, call
ed Mr.. Van Dyke a little Presby-
terrain Pope, and said he hoped to
to meet him in heaven, but not
until he had been there three or
four days. The brethren, he said,
had made more infidels by this per-
secution than they cOuId make
Christians in their lives. He
wouldn't listen to their preaching
for five thousand year He gave
them his benedictiOn and stamped
out of the church, and thereat sore
ot the brethren delivered bitter
speeches against him."
The hero of the farce will now
proceed to the conversion of sin
re s. with renewed zeal and sue
ess. His tabernacle will be crowds
ell as it never was before Arbuck-
les silver cornet will ring more
melodiously than ever organ and
choir will assist Arbuckle in the
department of praise, and the
whole will be vigorously supple
meuted by the popular and perse
cuted pastor who has emerged from
ii sea of troubles crowned with vic>
torious laurels. 1t some modern
Rabelais or Swift wanted material

Stone, as it. is called, which some
person lleers on hand
for such cases. Its applications, as
may be supposed, VAS utterly futile.
Tilap passed on without any dan~
gerogs symptoms appearing, and he
was engaged by Mr.. Girault as an
assistant teacher i'll his school at
Beauregard. He proved himself
uncommonly successful as ii teacher
and was much beloved by the prin-
cipai aud all his scholars.
On Tuesday morning, the 9Th
inst, he was taken with il chill aud
felt great uneasiuess in the arm
that had been bitten Ivy the dog
Thc pain emaTating from the seat of
the wound on the hand. He was
excessively nervous and complained
of his head. His brain, he said,
felt as if being crashed i'll a vice.
Seemingly realizing his condition
he seat word on Friday morning,
the 9th inst, by Mr.. Girault to tell
his scholars good bye as he mig mt
never see them any more.
The first positive proof that by
drOpD0Dia MAD SET III, was on trl-
day morning when he approached
i, basis OF water to wash. AS soon
as he touched the water he started
and said it was as cold as ice, when
it was really warm from sitting in
the sun several hours. This threw
him in paroXysin, and his eyes
soon became swollen and blOodshot,
with great sensitiveness to light.
On Saturd W, 10th insi., he was
placed on the train by his friends
and accompanied to Crystal Springs
by Mr.. Girault, DR.. Butler and
others whose names we did not
learn, arrived here at o'clock in
the evening. He was Immediately
taken to his fathers residence in
the county, where he died on Sum
day morning, three days alter the
first setting IN OF the symptoms.
