The Sun DO Move.

Brother Gardner, as the thermometer
showed the usual 100 degrees near the
stove, "a letter from Philadelphia AKIN
me if I believe wild de Rev. Jasper, of
Richmond, dat de sun do move? Sartin
I do. know de white folks claim dat
it am de airth which am movin', while
de sun stands still, but right dar' we

an angel as any white man will eber git,
an when he ordered de sun to STAN still
he knew what he was talkin' bout. It
would hab been just as easy fur him to
hab commanded de airh to stan still,
but he didn't do it. If Joshua didn't

stronomy bizness keep you awake

It didn't do any wuss when 'stronomy
was unknown, an it wouldn't do any
better if cherry family in de kentry had
a telescope 400 feet long. De moon
was hung up dar dat folks might see TO
move by night when de rent got too
high; dat lost COWS could see to fin dar

wood and empty bar'ls of ashes on de
street; dat wimin comm home from

stickin' up in de planks, an fur varns
udder reasons. You jist take de sun as
he runs, an de moon as you fin it, an
de less you worry bout 'em de mo- meat
an taters you'll have in de winter. De

A MAN bought gallon of gin to take
home, and, by the way of a label, wrote
his name upon card, which happened
to be sever of clubs and tied it to the
handle. A friend, coming along and OBJ
serving the jug, quietly remarked :;
"That's an awful carless way to leave
that liquor" "Why?" said Tom. Be

| A Mad Dog Bites & Number of People New Course of Treatment.
 NEW YORK, July 3l.-A mad dog recently
 bit number of persons in one of the sub ! urbs of Philadelphia. ''The course of
 treatment,'' says the Philadelphia ISmes
 "was prescribed by Dr. W. S. Fry, of Lans-
 dale, who is said to have cured over two hun dred similar cases. The wound caused by the teeth of the dog was first washed in warm vinegar and covered with blister plaster, which was allowed to remain ten
 hours, when the blister was opened. Fresh cabbage leaves were then warmed, after which they were softened between the palms
 of the hand and applied to the injury. The
 leaves were changed every two hours for
 four days, when the blister was applied for
 four hours and then removed. Cabbage leaves were then bound on as before, to be
 renewed every two hours until four teen days have expired when cloth spread
 with sheep's tallow is to be applied twice a
 day until the wound heals. A medicine fur
 nished by the doctor was taken for five days
 the patients fasting three hours after each
 morning dose. The directions contain the following clause, descended from the doctors great grandfather, who discovered the cure:
 And for fourteen days thereafter the patient
 shall drink no water. not to meddle with
 water and not to see any water, and not to eat any pork or pies baked with lard,
 except butter not to eat any fish or
 waterfowl that swims in the water and not go into the rain or out when it is foggy.' Verbal instructions were given to the effect that the patient must keep quiet and in a darkened room. A cheerful frame of mind was advised. To enable the patient to abstain from the use of water tea made from the doctors prescription is drunk free ly, as well as coffee and the usual tea. Spirituous or malt liquors are allowed in moderate quantities. Residents of Wissa- hickon and Peterborough are watching the cases with 8 great deal of interest. It is stated that where the patients followed Dr. Fry's instructions not case has been lost Two people have died by disregarding his instructions

fellow scout and thirty bloodhounds failing
 to come to time, and his movements taking
 suspicious turn, he has been put under ar
 rest by Captain Doolttle at camp Cody
 Charlie now says that the bloodhounds have
 not left Fort Lincoln yet and that the other
 scouts have gone to that point. He says he is known out West by the name of Buffalo Charlie Lewis and Yellowstone Charlie. He sent telegrams to Fred Selloncupt at Portage, Wis, and to Lieutenant Wallace, of the Sev- enth Cavalry, at Fort Smelling, Minn., asking for Identification. Unless this identification comes in due time and is fully satisfactory it will be impossible to restrain the corps from dealing summarily with the alleged scout, who is secretly suspected of complicity with the Williams brothers, to whose assistance he is believed to have come as spy. Adju- tant General Bryant, by order of Governor Smith, has recalled the Ludington Guards from the pursuit of the Williams brothers. General Bryant does not believe that the out laws are in the woods, but that they have es- capped to civilization. Sheriff Doolttle, how ever, will continue the pursuit, believing that he has the game bagged.

A Fatal Quarrel-Blsedfng to Death
 From a Slight Wound,

Fatal Quarrel-Blsedfng to Death
 From Slight Wound.
 BOSTON, July 31.-About midnight Satur- day Cummings Manning, who resides at 14 West Fifth street, South Boston, with his wife and three children, quarreled with Mike Clougherty, boarder, who five weeks since married sister of Mrs. Manning, and in the course of the scuf1e, both being in liquor, CIougherty inflicted a cut in Manning's groin which severed the femoral artery. The wound was only about an inch and half deep, but the man bled to death in about an hour The quarrel grew out of words con- corning Mrs. Manning's sisters marriage with Clougherty. The latter fled, but was arrested this morning at a boarding house on Granite street, where he had passed the night. The homicide is particularly distress ing from the fact that Clougherty was a steady laboring man. He was badgered by Mrs. Manning's taunts about her sisters foolish ness in marrying him, and it was not until Coleman ODonnall, caller, began to assist Manning in pounding Clougherty that he drew his knife. The prisoner has not drank for many years until within a few days. He is about thirty years old, five feet eight inches in height, dark complexion, brown hair, sandy moustache and very quiet ap- bearing man. Several callers and neighbors have been detained as witnesses.
