Was the Deg Mad.

Last evening at S o'clock as q littl.
girl named Viola Reed, I years of age
was playing in her parents yard on
Seventh street near Poplar, the ball
was threwn into the yard Of Joseph
Hyde who resides next door. Mr.. II
has q dog in his yard, and as the lttl-
child went into the yard after the ball,
the dog bit her in the calf of the leg.
Viola went at once home, and telling
her brother that she had been bitten by
dog, he at once attended to the wound.
From the information received this
morning, We were told that the dog
was not mad and that Viola's parents
are not in the least alarmed about it.
Viola is relation Of little Lawrence
Carson who was bitten by q dog a year
ago, and this happened within five
yards Of the place where Lawrence
had the struggle with dog.

London Correspondence dundee Advertiser.
RumOrs of vague but somewhat
alarming character have been current
for some days with regard to the health
Of the Queen. have not hitherto al
tuded to these reports, but they have
become so persistent that it would be
useless longer to ignore their existence.
1t is said that tor some time past Her
Aajesty's health has not been in very
satisfactory state. The death of the
Duchess OF Hesse gave her shock from
which she has not yet recovered, and
the fatigue incident on the celebration
Of the marriage of the Duke CT Con-
naught exercised depressing influence
On her health. The journey to Italy is
sot mere holiday trip. Sir. W. J-n-
ner considered that change of scene
and an almost entire absence from Off
sial duty of any Kind were necessary
for the Queen, and this is the reason
why she has buried herself on the SO
tluded shores of an Italian lake. 1t is
no doubt in consequence of the some
what gloomy statements regarding Her
Asjesty's health which are passing in
society that other reports connected
with the succession to the throne are
also current.
1t il said that unless q considerab BILE
change in Her Majesty's health takes
place she will no longer be able to dis
charge the functions which belong to
the severe gn Of the country, and ru
NOR points to the possibility of an alb
dication. 1t is an undoubted fact that
since the departure of the Queen for
Italy the Prince Minister has several
times seen the Prince Of Wales. On
Tuesday he had an interview with His
Royal Highness of more than an hours
duration, and the Prince would seem
to be since to some extent discharging
the duties of the Queen with regard to
public affairs during her absence in
Italy. In q matter where there is ne
sessarily a good deal of speculation it
would be idle to make definite state
ments, but there are those who think
that a somewhat startling surprise is
In store for Parliament before the pre-
sent session closes.

Judge Campbell's vote is by many
thousands the largest ever cast at g

ger than the vote given to Gov. Cros.
well last Fall. For Regents OF tbs Uni.

a majority over Sanford of 4,4O4, and

In the 40 cities of the State the Re-

In the House yesterday at Washing
ton, Mr.. Burrows made one of the mos,
effective and eloquent addresses v whieh
has been delivered sinos the debate b..
gan. He charged that the chief desir.
Of the Democrats In seeking to repeal
ths election laws was TO elect . Demo
cratic President, for II was well known
that If an honest election oould be had
in 1850 the Democratic party would no
more elect President of the United
States than that party fairly elected q
majority o. the members Of the last Or
the present Congress.
Referring to the causes which made
the extra session ne cessary, he said
that for four weeks after Congress was
convened, adjournment was had from
day to day in order TO give the Demo.
cratic caucus time to determine not
how to furnish the Government with
necessary funds, but how to stop sup.
plies, to the end that partisan purposes
might be furthered. He warned the
Democrats that II they persisted in the
threat to withhold from. the government
necessary supplies, the people Of the
North would unite against them, a.
they did in the days Of the rebellion.
II this point should bs yielded in re-
gard to the election laws, it would not
be long before rider would bs put on
the Post Office Appropriation bill, for
bidding the circulation of Republican
newspapers in the mails, which pass
into the Southern States, or that al
amendment would bs made to another
bill Withholding the salaries Of the
judiciary, unless they decided the last
to the Constitution null
and void.
He closed by quoting from Mr.. Black
burns speech Of April 3, which hs
characterized as the defiance OF an *
soldier and his co.con-
spirators, and said that the Republi
cans were prepared 10 take up the gage
so vauntingly thrown down and make
it good in the field. This part of Mr..
Burrows's speech was delivered with
great sarnsstness, and was warmly ap.
plaudsd by the Republicans.

aremptly at 10 'clock the grand march,

seven brass pieces, under Prof. Ellinger,

Floor Manager, Fred K. Kaiser, with

ia regular order, numbering in all one
hundred and twenty couples-forming
the largest march that has ever taken
place in Webster's.
At the close of the grand march Prof.
Richie and his assistants took the
stand, and dancing commenced. The
programme arranged for this part of

above the average, and the selections
showed that the managers thoroughly
understood their business. In addition

intervals during the night refreshments
Of superior quality were served, and
after each respite thus furnished the
dancing was renewed with added zest.
