DEATH FROM A DOGS BITB--A
MOTHERS SAD STORY.

Ia Philadelphia, three months ago,
Louis Zweifei, aged Eve years, wss
eighty bitten by Spitz dog whilst
playing on the walk with some COM
panions. The wound seemed but a
scratch, and after proper treatment,
healed rapidly. No particular at
tention, therefore, was paid 20 it,
and the child suffered no incouveui-
eucs. dis mother, g thrifty Ger
man woman, had never even so
much as heard of hydrophobia. =.
Three months passed BY and the lit
tie fellow played and ran about as
usual, aud the bite and dog were
alike forgotten. What followed is
most graphically told 10 the mothers
language. Last Wednesday" abe
said, Louie did not 90 out as usual
in the morning. The day went on
and said: why don't you go out
and playi never saw you so.'--
But he chung about my apron and
said Me don't want to leave you
mamma He had not eaten any
breakfast, aud a, dinner coaxed
him to take little soup, but be put
HE hands up to his throat and said ::
Me can swallow nothing, mamma
He put bis hands up and wanted me
to take away the milk. He ate
nothing all that day. At eight
o'clock, while n bed, he screamed
in such way as | never heard be-
fore. When | went up be was
stretching himself out, drawing down
bis mouth, and had bis teeth close
together. He was coughing strange,
ly. He made me take him in my
bed, and he d d not sleep wink all
night. His father felt him and said
he had q violent fever. On Thurs
day morning his eyes began to wa
ter, and sent for DR.. Smith, my
old family physician, who said 1t
was not scarlet fever, as | supposed
but he did not know what it was
That afternoon he vomited and jum>
ped up and caught the bed clothes
10 his teeth, and | then noticed that
when these fts were on him the place
where the dog bit him turned blue.
He would not eat anything, but US"
ed to beg him to take little water
and he did it for me, bet it sent him
into spasms. then sent for DR..
Curtin. AS soon as he looked at
my boy he said it was hydrOphobia
On Saturday night they left tour
p apers aod told me to give him two,
and not to give the others if be
went to sleep. He no sooner took
them than be became very Wild
The white foam flowed from bis
mouth. He gritted his teeth upon
the blankets. He Bit his tongue
clean through. Then he bit his fin
gers making them bleed, until we
had to hold him by the hands. Still
be was conscious and was trying
himself to stop it. This morning he
grew very weak and foamed and
embed, and would not let us
bring water near him, and at 10:
30 he died."

The other day. on one of the
trains Of the Central Railroad, at one
Of The Stations, blind woman with
a babe in her arms boarded the cars,
When the conductor went his rounds
Tor bis tickets the woman ststed that
she had neither ticket nor money,
and begged hard for passage. She
said she wanted 20 get to Savannah,
where she had q sister in the bospi-

nah 90 trsmps or Migrants are allow
edlto be taken into the city, even
though the conductor pays the fare
on. Of his own pocket, and this he is
not allowed to do by the railroad -
A drummer overheard the converse
ton, appreciated the conductors
position, and then quietly took bis
bet around, appealing only to his
fellow drummers, Twenty dollars
was raised in less than FIVE minutes,
the fare paid, and the blind woman
went on to Savannah with a snug
little sum, and heart full of graft

The boom 10 Confederate bonds
is daily increasing in proportion.
The kind iu demand are coupon
bonds, and sell for 81 so per 81, 900.
What has given these bonds a mar
ket value, we are unable to say. A
report is that there is Confederate
gold in bank in Eogland, This is
unlikely, and in our opinion the
bonds are not worth the paper they
are printed on. A dead government

Only one Democrat was elected
to the Legislature from Hamilton

1HEY DID THEIR DUTY.

If the Republicans are satisfied,
the Democrats have reason to be
more than satisfied. In elecsing Mr.
Bayrd, they did their duty. In
doing their duty, they shocked no
public sensibility. The Republicans,
on the other band denounced the
election Of Dir. Bayard as 40 outrage,
and turned right about to repeat the
outrage they had denounced. Goa

FALSELY PACKED COTTON.


The New York Sun expresses the
hope that when the managers of the
Atlanta Cotton Exposition have fully
settled down to business, they will
take into consideration the com,
plaints that have been telegraphed
from London concerning falsely
packed cotton. The Secretary of
the Oldham Cotton Spinners' Assoc
citation had declared that thousands
of tons of sand are paid for By the
Oldham spinners as cotton, in con
sequence of fraudulent packing.
1t is believed that q thorough in
vestigstion will show tina. the sand
found 10 the cotton crop in 1880
fer instance, was not the result. of
irEa5sisai packing, but resulted from
the iArs that msch Of tbs Ito. was

= =Es beaten oas By heavy rains,

PUT THE AGREEMENT IN wRI
TING.

TING.
How many misunderstanding
arise from the loose way in which
business matters are talked over,
and then, when each party puts bis
own construction on the converse
ton, the matter is dismissed by each
with the words "all right, all right"
Frequently it turns out all wrong,
and becomes question for lawyers
and the courts. More than three
fourths of the litigation Of the coun
try would be saved If people would
put down their agreements 10 writ>
ing, and sign their names to it
Each word in our language has its
own particular meaning, and memo,
ry may, by the change Of its posi-
ton in a sentence, convey an entire
ly different idea from that Intended
When once reduced to writing,
ideas are fixed, and expensive law
suits avoided.
