A Gennine Case of HydrophObia.

A strange ease of hydrophobia has presented itself to the public, the victim being a bright little fellow, Mortimer Hinman, aged thirteen years, son of II. M Hinman, Esq. Last December, while visiting in Connecticut, the family at whose house he resided owned large Newfoundland dog. The dog being old and decrepit and the child being of a very loving and sympathetic disposl- tion made great pet oe him. Last De cember the child, while caressing the animal, was bit on the ear. The bite was very severe, but the wounds soon healed. The dog was immediately killed and nothing more was thought of it. Last Friday the little boy, in com pany with other children, went to a church entertainment and seemed to be ingood health and spirits, and retired as usual. The next morning he did not l leave his bed and complained of earache. Remedies were applied to relieve his pain and Dr. Bailey, Sr., was immedi- 1 ately summoned. On his next visit, on 1 Sunday, he was told that the child had a great aversion to water. Not taking any notice of that and thinking it was l caused by nervousness, the doctor told l the mother to calm him by giving him
 teaspoonful of water. Upon his next visit. Monday afternoon at four o'clock, the medicine had been administered reg ularly, and the boy sat up in bed and exclaimed: II am all right, doctor,
 and he had quite :, healthy appearance. About nine o'clock at night he became worse and exhibited symptoms of a gen. uine case of hydrophobia., He was ex- tremely violent and made large scratches on the hands of those who held him. Dr. Stickney and Mir. Vogel were then summoned, and they asked that Dr
 Bailey be called in. The latter, being indisposed. could not come. Dr. Stick
 ney then tried to alleviate the suffering
 of the patient, and said it was impossi.
 ble to save him. Morphine was injected
 into his arm. but had no effect. and after
 night of the most horrible suffering tho
 child expired at eight o'clock the fol
 lowing morning -NeaD OrLea1ss Iinles.

An Indian Outlaws Fate.

A fortune-hunter in the Black Hills in describing some of the episodes there thus alludes to the recent capture and death of the Indian known as General J Scott:
 Our camp had mystery which the cutest could not unrayel. Tools, pro- visions, gold dust, clothing, cooking utensils and other truck were stolen away in the slyest manner and in spite of the closest vigilance. A ravine, hay ing two or three feet of water in it and crossed by a bridge, divides our camp, and it was at length concluded that the thief must come and go by this dark road. One night guards were posted along this ravine, which then contained thirty inches of ice cold water, and the night freezing one. Soon after mid night an alarm was raised, and the guards fired upon some man ~or animal coming down the ravine into camp; but owing to the darkness the unknown got away.
 A lazy, greasy old "Lo,r nicknamed General Scott, was driven out of our camp at the close of winter for stealing, and had been frequently seen on the have dared the ravine and its rush of ice water for what he could steal, but it was believed that General" Scott would, and that he was the thief. Pre- parations were therefore made for run ming him down. Twenty-one miners, all well armed, turned out on the hunt Half a mile above camp we found the "General's trail, or the spot where he had descended and ascended the ravine.
 After slow and careful hunt, in which we traveled about a mile and half, we suddenly got news of the ''Gen- eral." He had discovered us, knew our mission, and was bound to have the first shot. His bullet plowed furrow along the scalp of a miner named Chalmers, from Pittsburgh, knocking him over and laying him on the shelf for while The Indian was jubilant at first, but it was not ten minutes before he had to skip. He knew that he was surrounded, and yet he was game. When he swarmed out he opened fire with revolver, driving three men to cover, and next we knew he. was crossing valley for the shelter of the timbered hill beyond
 The Indian knew the risk he ran, and as he flew across the valley he zig Zagged his course to embarrass the rife men ready to fire. When called upon to halt he uttered defiant yell, but was next moment struck and brought down. When he fell he rolled into sink-hole and was again at bay, having a freshly loaded revolver in his hand. The yells Ol Clle miners were answered with shouts of defiance, and it was plain we had not won the fight.
 After brief consultation five of the miners made flank movement to gain a point overlooking the sink-hole. This point gained, they could pick the Indian off with their long-ranged rifles. This left fifteen men in body, and while most of them were sitting down the General" suddenly rose up and ad- vanced upon us, hobbling dreadfully on his wounded leg. He knew his fate, and he was ready to die game. He was within pistol-shot before any one moved, and he blazed away as fast as he could Chas. Judson, of New Jersey, and knocking the hat ofanother's head Even as he went down his finger pressed the trigger once more, sending bullet among the clouds.

No Smoking in Here.

"You can't smoke in here," said a John street conductor to a man who vas pulling away vigorously, at five cent cigar in car half full of ladies.
 The man didn't seem to hear.
 ''I say," cried the man of the bell punch, in a louder key, $ if you want to smoke come out here on the platform"
 All right" returned the passenger, and he stepped out. Didn't think 1t would hurt nothin'," he said, apologet- ically; sseein's there ain't any straw in the car to catch fire"
 "But there are ladies there. :"
 aOh, yes Didn't think nothin' bout that. Might get ashes on their gowns and spile 'em.'
 Ut isn't so much that, explained the conductor, < but ladies object to smoke. ?
 :. We'll I didn't ask any on 'em to smoke, did I? They needn't object be- fore they are invited.
 You don't understand. Smoking is disagreeable to ladies'"
 ..Best reason in the world why they shouldn't practice it. Catch me smokin' if it was disagreeable to me!o And he tranquilly puffed away at his five-center. - Csncsnaaats Saturday Night.

The Funny Small Boy.

The room it was hot,
 And the room it was school; So the schoolmaster got
 Fast asleep on his stool, While the scholars were having A frolic Berett of all reason and rule. When ball. badly aimed,
 Struck the schoolmaster's nose, Which was long and quite famed
 For it's terrible blows; Then he scowled on those innocent scholars In a way he could scowl when be chose. Come hither, my child,
 Thou art writing, see;" And the schoolmaster smiled,
 "Come, now, right on my knee; The up-strokes, you see, are made lightly, The down-strokes are heavy and tree." While that small boy was tanned, Came his laughter--a roar, And the teacher, so bland, !. Was now vexed and he swore; For the way that the awful boy giggied Was something unheard of before. The teacher was beat
 And deprived of his wind, So he stood on his feet
 That small boy, who just grinned, And who shook with mirth that was jolly And felt of his back which was skinned "Now tell me, my son,
 Ere this rod I employ Once again for thy iun,
 Why this wonderful joy?" ss G.
 laughter,
 "You're whipping-ha-ha the wrong boy.

To Get PIunls.

Almost everybody knows that we get few plums in our country, because small beetle called the curculio deposits an egg in the immature fruit, which then rots, and falls before 1t is ripe. It has been the great problem with fruit-grow CTS how to get plums in spite of this in sect, and to this day it forms the staple topic with all pomological assemblages. Some time ago, Dr. Huffman, of Iowa City, gave plan for smoking them out. Many of these notions are started by people who never try wha' they recom- mend. In this case we happen to know Dr. Huffman, and can say that he Is q thoroughly painstaking gentleman, and very careful to know what he is to write about before he takes his pen in hand. We have great faith in what he may say, and so give here his plan:
 During the summer of 1874 procured from the gas-house several gallons of coal or gas tar. put about a quart into long-handled stew-pan, and with few shavings and a match soon had a dense, black smoke. This I carried un- | der my plum tree, so that the dense smoke pervaded all parts of the tree. My 1 first efforts were very gratifying in see 1 ing insects of all sorts hurry out of the 1 tree. Ants came running down the tree, | various kinds of worms and spiders let | UIlSI1lSelNS SS uO"I DJ tICll WCpo- anu sli winged insects flew out, leaving the tree deserted of all insect life. spent about half an hour in smoking forty two trees, and this I repeated three or four times each week, unless rain had washed off the smudge, when l again repeated the smoking After my first efforts 1 tried the shaking process, but invariably
 ailed to catch or see single specimen of the curculio. continued this process until near the time of ripening, and got my first crop of plums--over thirty bushels. The whole cost of coal tar for those forty-two trees during the sum- mer was less than two dollars. l began the smoking little too late, after 1 had tried for some time the jarring into the sheet-therefore, some of the fruit had been stung; and had it not been for this my crop of ripe plums would have been still larger During 1875 the plum crop was an entire failure, and 1 had no op- portunity to continue this experiment i;
 but the summer of 1876 brought large
 plum crop, and at once resorted to my
 fayorite remedy. Icommenced smoking
 my trees as soon as the plums were the
 size of a hazel nut, and continued up to
 the time of ripening, and not a single
 curculio sting was to be seen on my fruit. the trees ofwhich were treated to
 the coal tar sa.okc. 1 purposely left trees
 of different varieties unsmoGed, and al
 the plums excepting one were stung and
 dropped off before ripening. = Rura
