He sits upon his horse with admirable
erectness and rides with vigor. The i'm

In the House of Commons Tuesday the
army-estimates bill was passed. The amount
appropriated is ga, 100000. In connection
with this the Marquis OF harrington stated
that the elastic terms Of the service and
the bounties were inducing the men to
prolong the period Of their foreign service,
and had attracted the past year more than
80, 900 recruits. This was the largest num-
Der ever known in one year. Regarding
the heavy naval ordnance in process Of

the symptoms pointed to hydrophobia.
Drs. Dulles and Chase, the attending ply
sicians, however, state that the boys death
was caused by commissions, due to chronic
meningitis. DR.. Dulles said that the case
was useful in illustrating that alleged in
stances of hydrophobia were usually no
thing Of the kind, but some other affection
mistaken for it. Imagination, he believed,
goes a great way in producing it. As a
matter OF fact, he said there had not been
