A man by the name of Otis, living on
Horse Creek, was bitten by rabbit in
September, from the effects of which he
almost lost his life. He was trying to
catch the rabbit for his little boy when
the animal bit him on the thumb, but he
took little notice of it at the time. About
an hour afterward his thumb began to
pain him severely and swelled rapidly SO
that he sent for physician, who thought
he had been bitten by rattlesnake.
The doctor, at first, could not believe it
was the bite of the rabbit that caused the
trouble, SO to fully satisfy himself he had
several rabbits caught, with which he
experimental. He found that the upper
jaw contained hollow tooth, from which
he extracted very poisonous fluid. He
ascertained that two drops of this fluid
administered to lamb would kill it in
less than an hour. -[Castle Rock Colo

SILENT Forces. -Workmen in the
stone quarries sometimes find a very
hard kind of rock. They pick little
grooves for the iron wedges, and then,
with great sledge hammers, drive and
drive and drive the wedges into the
fiinty rock. And yet, once in a while,
they fail to divide the solid mass. The
iron wedges and the sledges prove use
less, and the workmen wonder at the
stubborn rock. But there is yet another
way. The iron wedges are removed
from the narrow grooves. Then little
wooden wedges, of very hard fibre, are
selected. Now you begin to shake your
head and think, Swell, if iron wedges
will not do, how is 1t possible for wooden
wedges to be used successfully" Just
wait until we explain. The sharp, we'll
made wooden wedges are first put into
water. They are inserted into the
grooves tightly while wet, and water is
kept in the grooves, and no sledge is
needed to drive them. They would
break under the severe blows of the pom
derous hammer But the workmen just
let the wet wedges alone. They will do
what the driven iron failed to do. How
so? The damp wood swells. The par
ticles must have room to enlarge, and the
granite hearts of the rocks can not with
stand this silent influence. In little
while the solid rock parts from top to
bottom, and the workmen's will is &C..
complsbed.

cit is as true in politics as in religion"
says the Chicago Tribune, "that the
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
Church. Since the cause of Civil Service
Reform has its martyr, it is destined to
sweep onward rapidly to the goal of tri-
umph. Hereafter the stars in their
course are bound to fight for it. Polit-
ical parties are bound to vie with each
other in demanding that the business Of
the Government be conducted in bust
ness principles. Spells organs dare no
longer oppose the proposition lest they
be overwhelmed with public scorn."

A British Columbia subscriber inquired
last week how he could prevent ice from
forming ON the inside of his windows in
cold weather. A druggist says if saucers
or other shallow vessels, containing sui
phuric acid, are placed in various places
in the room, the acid will absorb nearly
or quite all the moisture from the at
mosphere, leaving none to condense upon
the windows.

The enlistment of negro troops during
"the late unpleasantness" was dictated
fully as much by sentiment as by any
faith in their fighting value, and although
they fought nobly on several fields, their
retention as part of the regular army is
owing more to reasons of political ex-
pediency than TO any widespread belief
that they were the equals of white men
on the battlefield On the Indian 'front.'
Ter, especially, they have proven them
selves rather an expensive luxury, owing
to their excitable natures. These "buf-
falo soldiers" as the redskins call them,
apparently have no idea of how much
depends on keeping their heads level and
not scattering their ammunition wildly
as soon as a foe approaches. In the oper.
ations against the Apaches in Arizona
they seem to have made themselves par
ticularly conspicuous, if correspondent
of the San Francisco Bulletin is to be
believed, by their reckless waste Of
powder and ball; and his suggestion that
they be sent east to do garrison duty, and
the fighting be left to those who car
keep cool and aim low and deliberately
at the enemy, may be worth attending

SELFIsHYEss. In the first place, if you
want to make yourself miserable be sell
fish. Think all the time of yourself and
your things. Don't care about anything
else. Have no feelings for any but your
self. Never think of enjoying the salts
faction of seeing others happy; but
rather, if you should see smiling face,
be jealous lest another should enjoy what
you have not. Envy every one that is
better off than yourself: think unkindly
of them and speak lightly of them. Be
constantly afraid lest some one should
encroach upon your rights; be watchful
of it, and if any one come near your
things snap at them like mad dog.
Contend earnestly for everything that is
your own that may not be worth pin.
Never yield point. Be very sensitive,
and take everything that is said to you
in playfulness in the most serious man
ner. Be jealous of your friends lest they
should not think enough of you; and if
at any time they should seem to neglect
You, put the worst construction upon
their conduct.

he presents:
1t may be safely set down that he is
bourbon after the strctest sect, and it is a
well-known fact in this part of the State
that he is a buildozer of the bulldozers.
General Lowry is a man of marked ability,
but his unfortunate connection with the
hanging of certain Confederate soldiers who
went home for several reasons and his pres
idencv of the Brandon Bank that collapsed
a few years back, making paupers of hun
dreds of widows and orphans, will insure
his defeat in Central Mississippi by very
large majority.
A canvass among the democrats of jack
son brings to light the fact that nearly half
of them intend voting for Ben. King, and [
am assured that every man IN Bolton will
vote against Lowry or s. My dear Bob, as he
is called in this section. And L am told by

A CLINCHER.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune travelled on the train from
Richmond to Petersburgh with
Hon. John r. Goode and several
delegates, on their way home
from the recent Democratic State
convention in Virginia. Naturally,
they were talking politics, and some
of them who had supported Goode,
spoke very disparagingly of Major
Daniel, the nominee of the cOnyen-
ton
Among other things discussed was
the negro, for, be it remembered, a
Democratic politician, and espe-
cially Virginia Democratic politician,
cannot talk politics without Juggling
in the negro. And the conclusion
reached was the inevitable one-that
political equality means social eqal-
ity. And one of them illustrated his
idea of social equality. Said he {:
"Suppose that I were to affiliate pc,
litically with the negroes, and should
fall under political obligations to a
colored man and desire to extend to
him some social civility. | would
probably invite him to take drink /;
one drink would lead to another,
and we might end by getting drunk
together" This is candid
and sincere statement of
the question. And it was a
clincher. When a Democrat puts it
to us IN that way, we can say moths
ing more, because we could not think
OF asking one of them to place him
self in the way of such a terrible
temptation. It is not a serious
thing for Democrat to get drunk
but to get drunk with a negro is the
objectionable sin. This man ought
to make stump speech, taking this
social equality question for his text
dwelling at length on the great crime
of "getting drunk with negro,
and the Democratic State committee
should print it as campaign docu'
ment. It is unanswerable.

A LATE press dispatch from WASH
ington gives the following in refer
ence to the wheat crop in Russia:
Minister Foster writes to the Department
of State, under date of July Is, 1881, that
the Russian wheat crop is likely to be one
of the largest ever raised in the empire, and
that the export promises to be much greater
than usual. 1t is stated that in the districts
tributary to the port of Odessa the yield is
likely to be so large that the farmers think
they could dispense with harvests for four
years to come. Advices from Toganrag and
Caucasus show promises of crop equal
to that of 1874, and one of the
largest ever known in Russia,
and advices from Moscow affirm
that 1t is thought the harvest in Southern
Russia will be the largest they have had for
twenty years. The harvest in Central Rus
STA, while not SO enormous, will yield a
splendid harvest of excellent quality. In
southern provinces the grain is already cut
Further north it is still subject to damage
incident to bad weather and insects. From
Moscow, which is the great commercial GEN.
ter of Russia, it is reported that all branches
of business are beginning to revive and
flourish after long season of depression,
dant harvest. 1t will not be without practical
political influence, also, for much discomfort
in the interior has resulted from hard times
and short crops.
Russia is the principal wheat-pro-
ducing country in Europe.
