HydropllObia.

An address was delivered recently at Cooper Institute, New York, before the American Farmers Club by John P. Garrish, NJ. D., on hydrophobia. Among other things the speaker said: Hydro phobia never originates spontaneously It must always come from the inocula- ton of virus received from an animal. The period of incubation is generally from three to seven weeks. The longest period does not exceed three months. The symptoms of hydrophobia are un- usual poweTs of endurance, loss of ap- petite, increase of thirst, dilation of the pupil of the eye, and in the case of anil mals, craving after earth, sticks and stones and paralysis of the hinder parts. There is also a peculiar spasm of the pharynx. The reason why water is refused is not that there is fear of it, as the word hydrophobia inn plies, but because the contraction of the muscles of the throat makes 1t difficult and painful for the patient to drink.
 For the disease to be received the virus must come in contact with an abraded surface of the skin, or a surface that can absorb it. as that of the mouth. Ofthose that are bitten by rabid dogs, con- trary to the general impression, not more than third suffer from hydro phobia, Rabies and hydrophobia are un- known in some countries. In South America they are not known. In the Madeira islands, where dogs abound and suffer every other disease, they are not known. In Prussia, on the other hand. 1.O66 cases occurred at one time, within ten years. Experiments of eminent French physicians have shown that hydrophobia is not caused by want of water or by want of food. Science has now so far advanced that many cases under certain circumstances can be cured. The disease is not now abso- lutelY incurable.

Indian Babies.

That an Indian mother loves her babe is clearly shown by the care which she bestows upon its cradle, adorned with the richest beadwork and embroidery. The foundation of this cradle is an un- yielding board upon which the baby can be firmly lashed at full length on its back. This board is usually covered with softly dressed buckskin, with flaps and pouches in which to envelop the baby; other tribes not rich or fortunate enough to procure this material, have recourse to neat combination of shrubwood poles, reed splints, grass mating and the soft and fragrant ribbons of the bass or lin- den tree bark. Sweet grass is used here as a bed for the youngsters tender back, or else clean dry moss plucked from the pended limbs of the swamp-firs; then,
 with buckskin thongs or cords of plaited
 grass, the baby is bound down tight and
 secure. for any and all disposition that
 its mother may see fit to make of it for
 the next day or two. Perhaps for two or three hours out of the twenty-four the
 babies are allowed to roll about on the grass; but the minute it begins to whim- per the mother claps it back into its cradle, where it rests with emphasis, for | it can there move nothing save it's head :; so far from disliking theserigid couches.
 the babies actually sleep better in them | than when free, and positively cry to be | returned to them when neglected and left | longer than usual at liberty. This fact is
 certainly an amusing instance of tue fcres | of habit.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Only ThYseIf.

The following verses appeared many years since in an English provincial paper, but at- tracted less attention than their great beauty merits. The speakers are a dying girl and her lover. The ardent passion manifested by the youth suggests to the girl several images under which she supposes that he will delight 10 personiiy her after death The stanzas are n the form of dialogue-the girl suggesting the particular images in succession and the Ssver responding:
 "Even as 0 flower?' "No, fairest, be not to me as flower, The uncertain sun calls forth it's odorous
 breath;
 The sweetest perfume gives the speediest
 death The sport and victim of a summer hour. Fairest, be not iower!"
 "Even as star ?" "No, brightest, be not to me as star; 'Tis one ot the millions, and the hurrying on wraps the glittring splendor in it's
 shroud; Morn pales ifs luster, and it shines altar. Brightest, be not star!'
 "Even as dove" No, purest, be not to me as dove; Tho ST oiler oft breaks in upon its rest, Robbng the downy joys of its soft nest, And plunging silence through its native grove. Purest, be not dove"
 "Even as q rock?" {" No, my most faithful, be not a rock; It mocks the embracing wave, stands
 alone
 In loveless gloom, in dreary wastes un
 known, Senseless alike to fortunes smile or shock. Changeless, be not a rock"
 "Even as-myselI?" " My souls best idol, be but as thysef; Brighter than star, fairer than flower; Purer than dove, and in thy spirits power steadier than rock!
 Yesl be thyself, myself only thyself!'

Cleobulus was born at Lindus, on the island of Rhodes; one of the wise men of Greece. He was brilliant literary character. We find in Rev. John Cor

News and Notes fir Women.

Two American ladies astonished the inhabitants of Rome by a velocipede race the other day.
 The city guilds of London have set apart f3O0 annually for the training of women, establishing a school of wood engraving.
 Worth, the Parisian man-milliner, will not make dress, material supplied by the customer, for less than $500 or $400, and he has all he can attend to at that price.
 Paulina Kunze, an Alsatian girl of eighteen, has been sentenced to three months imprisonment for speaking disrespectfully of the Grand Duke of Baden, at the sight of his photograph.
 At Nashville, Tenn, the degree of Master of Arts was conferred by the faculty of Vanderbilt University upon Miss Kate Lupton, because, as the chan eellor stated, "she had won it in mas terly manner, having passed most satis- factorily all the examinations to which the young men were subjected"
 A new order of anniversary weddings is: End of one year, the cotton we'd ding; two years, the paper; three, leather or straw; five, wooden; seven, woOlen; ten, tin; twelve, silk and fine linen; {; fifteen, crystal; twenty, porcelain and delft; twenty-five, silver; thirty, pearl and ivory; forty, rubies and garnets; fifty. golden, and seventy-tive the dia- mond wedding.
 A woman speaker at a recent tenn perance convention in Ohio remarked that women work persistently. Last summer, on her way to Lake Side, she saw man and woman hoeing corn. As the train approached, the man stopped work, leaned on the hoe-handle. and gazed at the flying carriages. For aught she knew he vet stands there look ing. But the woman hood right on, only glancing at the passing train.
 Antoinette Brown Blackwell writes: Family interests, instead of suffering from the widening of womanly influence proportionately with the wider sympa thies of more enlightened motherhood Tenderness is not incompatible with { reach of intellect, nor have heaC and heart been so constituted b. the All-Father that they must dwell il perpetual rivalry"
 A fourishing Parisian art threatens tC take root in London. It is an old tricl in Paris for extravagant young womel to take their lovers into jewellers shop and to induce these lovers to purchas for them, at an immense price, articles 0 jewelry made of paste, the ladies an jewellers sharing the profits betweel them. I now hear of a dressmaker hay ing in her pay certain elegant females who get men to order handsome dresse from her which are never sent home This will probably be accepted as tn newest development of the co-operatiV system. m.-L07sd07a MdXfGtr.

Lady Gamblers.

The number of lady gamblers in Lon- don is increasiHs steadily. A cores pondent of the SG1eddrd states that there is more gambling among women at the present time than has been the ease since public gaming tables were put down by act of Parliament. The harmless bet of few pairs of gloves at the race meetings is now considered far beneath the notice of a dashing ma. tron or fast maiden. There are not a few female "plungers on the turf who "put the pot on." as the idiotic .iargon of the race course has it, with as much eagerness as most dissipated subaltern at the Raleigh, who stands to win a heap of money at Ascot or at Goodwood, with the alternative of running his old father, the country rector, if he loses, and allowing his sisters portions to be swallowed up in paying his debts of honor" If the female plunger be un- married she has recourse probably to some accommodating dressmaker, or worse still, accepts pecuniary help from some male friends, and perhaps puts her self for life in the power of man who will one day make her pay dearly for her ndiscretion.

A Prophecy.

Whole books of atter-day prophecies were once founded on the similarity of the names of Napoleon and Apollyon, or Apoleon, the dark angel; and one French Republican, by writing and analysing, produced the following:

Major J. NJ. Walsh, who nas become famous in the Indian country as the off cer of the Canadian Mounted Police, in charge of the camp of Sitting Bull and the Uncapapa Sioux, has contributed several columns of fopinion and narrative to a Chicago paper He thinks Sitting Bull is well disposed toward the United States, but adds this criticism of the h. dian policy: Y ou can't make two gov ernments.one for the Indian and one for the white man. You don't need them. Treat the Indian like white man from the start Show him that you recognize the fact that he has rights, and point out to him what those rights are. Teach him that the white mans rights and his are identical. Then show him that he will be protected in his rights, and that he will be punished if he in fringes on the rights s of others; CT and the thu business is settled" And 1t IS by en- forcing this policy, he says, that Canada has been enabled tolive at peace with the savages for generation.

GENERAL BUTLERs CANDIDACY.


To all those who admire pluck and
persistency, however it may be exercis
edGeneral Buffers course will undoubt-
eddy appear favorable. lie seems now
to be squarely in the field for another
plucky race for Governor of the great
Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. In
commenting upon this condition of
things, the party in power asserts
through its recognized organs, that
there is now no occasion or excuse for
his candidacy, because the evils which
had crept into the State administration
have been remedied and therefore his
followers have no further cause to COM
plain. This seems to us to be an i'm
portant admission for the Butterflies,
for it comedies that evils did exist and
their abolition was earnestly sought
for; and the inference is that it was
actually accomplished through the
General,slast campaign. Itreally seems
as though that campaign itself resulted
in good, and perhaps we have no occa-
sion to mourn over its recurrence. On
the other hand, it seems little curious
that the representatives of these re-
forms should be so tenacious about the
man who should represent their ideas.
If General Butler is the man best cal
culated to carry them out then we'll
and good but if those evils sought to
be reformed are seized upon simply as
q pretext to elevate Il particular man
TO power, then they are used for an I'M
worthy purpose. When principles are
subordinated to men, then the maxim
of.:pripciples and not men, is lost
sight of. Whatever merits this cam
paign may disclose in that little plucky
Massachusetts, party, one thing is GER
tain:-that the monotony of political
life will be most effectually broken up
and if it results, as it probably will, in
a funeral, it will be supplied with
most wonderful lively corpse; for no
man has ever lived who has had so
many political lives and of such vari-
Gus kinds as General b. f. Butler;
who whatever may be said of his integ-
Fity, possesses more varied and wonder
full abilities than any other man in
America.

for the political fortunes of those i'm

aphorism, He serves his party best
who serves his country best, isVerifed.
In the congressional elections of 1878
the party in power held its OVID as the
party in power is seldom able to do in
an of year. and was more successful
than there is any ground in reason or
experience to suppose it could have
been if the old grievances had not been
removed Had the president failed to
do the things for doing which he is so
rancorously blamed in some quarters,
the Republican party in this congress
might not be stronger than it was in
the foyty-fouTth congress. The party
is in better position either for attack
or defense than it was in two years
ago. The change in the Republican
position has compelled the Democracy
to unmask its purposes, and TO take
ground where it is terribly exposed.
For this ipcalculable advantage on
the lines of party conflict, as well as
for the obvious Improvement of all
national concerns, the administration
of President Hayes more than congress,
and the president more than any other
Republican, is entitled to praise and
gratitude. "-AtLantic Monthly.

,CLANISHNESS.

Sometimes we almost wonder
whether it is true that a kind provi-
dence really intended that men should
comprise common brotherhood, the
various elements of our. make being
such as to render it SO difficult to unite
us in our various social elements. 1t
is not SO singular ip view Of the differ
ent temperaments of men, their educa-
ton and habits of thought that they
should separate in matters of opinion,
each going with those most in harmo-
regard as one Of the worlds great mis-
fortunes. But when men place the
fitness Of others to associate with them
upon the grounds of. nationality or
birth, then distinctions become ridicu-
lous beyond comparison. when an
aristocratic hotel undertakes to exclude
from its patronage any particular race,
it caters to a lower prejudice than
would disgrace a tribe Of barbarians.
Besides such distinctions are entirely
impracticable. A mans right to enter a
hotel and be entertained, depends upon
his gentlenanly qualities, his consis-
tent manners and his conformity to the
rules of society, so as not to be often
eiye to Others, and not upon his birth
and parentage. All meritorious per
sons are entitled to hotel as we'll as
other privileges alike, whether they be
jew or Gentle. The arbitrary and
aristocratic rule attempted to be estab-
lished would give boorish knave or
an ill-mannered brute q hearty well
come and a free introduction to the
society of that hotel, provided he was
an American or an Englishmep, while
it would turn away from it's doors a
modest gentlemanly Hebrew. Besides
II half or quarter blooded Hebrew
stranger would be puzzled to know
whether he would be admitted by the
payment of exhorbitant charges even,
at one Of those hotels whose guests, Sc
lected on such basis would be pre-
suned to be the highest type of refine.
ment, it having bysuch an unerripg O.
rule excluded all barbaropS or pnre
fined elements of social life from within

"What, then Ito sum up) has been
accomplished in the first half of Presi-

practice of determining the issue of

national administration, and enforcing
that determination by the army in the

abandoned. 1t was high time. The
practice was essentially uprepublican,

lifted, the credit Of the United States is
as good as that of any nation in the
