THE proof of the pudding is in

and so the proof of the value of a

there is no remedy equal to it."

himself at the State prison for a month
past, voluntarily took food this morn
ing. Weldon has not said that he wanted
to die. He has not offered any explana-

Weldon began his fast. He worked regu-

reported at the hospital. l had been
observing him, and asked the physician

him all right physically. Then i directed

ers in order to guard against any attempt
at suicide. The first night Weldon at
tackled one Of his companions and nearly
chewed his ear off on account of
an imagined insult. Otherwise he
gave no trouble except when we
tried to force him to eat. j had him
taken to the hospital, and the physi-
clans used stomach-pump to force
down milk. He tore around awfully on
such occasions, and 1t required several
men to hold him down. We used the
forcing process five times and In each
case less than quart Of milk was con-
sumed. This morning for the first time
in 33 days Weldon broke his fast of his
own accord. AS usual we placed bread
and milk in his cell to tempt him, hav-
ing long ago given up the habit of send
ing him to the table with the other pris-
oners. A short time afterward one of
the deputies, going to Welden's cell,
saw him finishing small slice of bread
and about pint OF milk. He was asked
II he would have meat, but he shook his
head in the negative. 1t is better, proba-
bly,, that he did not, as strong food would
not agree with him after his fast. Isup-
pose he has given up the idea of starry

can help it."
Weldon is from Morris county, where
he was sentenced to three years for lar

weighs between 145 and $50 pounds. His
weight has not been appreciably de-
creased nor has his appearance changed

more bread and milk, but nothing else

THE DOG CURED HIMSELF.
Bitten by Rattlesnakes. He over
comes the Effects OF the Poison.


A special dispatch from williamsport,
Pennsylvania, contains the following
remarkable snake story: John Davis
and George Miller drove from Collons-
Vile to this city on Monday. When
they were crossing the mountains Mt II
place known as the Old liermit's, val
liable coach dog which accompanied
them ran of into the woods. Soon
afterward they heard him yelping In
peculiar manner. Both men jumped
from the wagon and hurried in the d.
rection of the cries. They came In
sight Of the dog in small hollow, and
found him In fight with several rattle
snakes, which surrounded him on large
fiat rock, and struck him on every side.
Miller and Davis each seized long club
and went to the dogs assistance. They
killed IL snakes, and many others escaped
among the rocks. The largest one was
four feet long, and had IL rattles. While
the men were busy cutting of the
rattles of the snakes they had slain,
Miller was overcome by the peculiarly
offensive odor that characterizes rattle
snakes, and Davis was obliged to help
him away from the spot. Ii was several
minutes before he revived from the
effect Of the poisoned air. The dog was
nowhere to be seen. Davis went back
into the woods to look for him. In pass
ing the spot where the snakes had been
killed, he saw a number of live ones,
which had come out Of their holes among
the rocks, gliding around their dead
companions, springing their rattles, and
every motion denoting fury. Davis beat
n retreat, and went off In another direc-
ton, calling his dog. Suddenly he came
upon the dog. with Its body Embedded
In mire hole In a swampy spot. Its
head alone was above the surface. Dogs
bitten by rattlesnakes instinotively seek
such places and bury themselves in the
mud. Old snake hunters say that II a
dog Is able to find swamp mud and
covers himself with II, 1t will invariably
draw out the poison. Davis left his dog
In the swamp, and drove on to this city
with Miller. Last evening the dog ar
rived home, apparently none the worse
for his encounter with the venomous
reptiles, although II must have been Bit
ten by them many times. The spot
where the snakes were killed Is a famous
rattlesnake den. A hunter, known as
"Twoline," lived in the hut near the
den for many years, and killed scores o.
its inmates annually, frying out the oil
and selling 1t to people who came long
distances to obtain 1t, the belief in III
efficacy as an ointment being universe
in that neighborhood.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IN ENGLAND.-We
find that even among the supper classes
of England total abstinence, once almost
unknown, has become frequent. "Enthu-
siastic supporters of the movement" the
London Daily Neacs tells US, 'shave been
disposing of their wine cellars" The sta
tistics of the consumption of both distilled
and fermented liquors show that the total
amount of them drunk has declined very
considerably during the last few years.
The consumption Of imported wine was
nearly eight per cent. less in 1882 than in
1881, and nine per cent. less than in 1880.
Of imported spirits the consumption was
less in 1882 than in 1881 by one and one-half
per cent, and of domestic spirits by one per
cent. Slightly more beer was drunk in 1882
than in 1881. At the same time there las
been remarkable growth of the consump-
ton of tea and of cocoa. Three per cent.
more tea and eight per cent, more cocoa
were drunk IN 1882 than in 1881 and the i'll
crease for the last year as compared with
1880 was largo.

DR.. Buckley, of the Christian Adoocate,
writes to his paper that the methodists
while in Philadelphia at the Conference
were much given to sobriety. He says
'Two transient guests in no way con-
nected with the General Conference were
heard talking near the close of the month
of May. One said to the other, There has
been tremendous crowd here all the
month Yes said the other, the hotel
has done we'll, but the bar has had a
mighty slim time.' That, l think, is a
pretty high compliment, but only natu-
raj one to the body. They tell story
In England of caterer who had contract
to prepare an entertainment for seventy
five elergymen of the Church of England,

For the SPECTATOR
Rev. VIM. A. Bartlett, D. D.

Mr.. EDIToR:-This comparatively young
man, who has acquired national reputation,
was in our town the Goth of June few
hours. Immediately, on leaving the train,
he sought the residence of Maj. Jed. Hotch-
kiss, who, in 1856 or 1857, brought him from
his native county, Broome, N. Y, as his
assistant in Messy Creek Academy. Meet
ing him unexpectedly, though his genial,
sunshiny face, as we said to him, was pho
tographed on memory, an interval of nearly
or quite twenty years had passed since we
met. Recalling him, we said to him and
our friend, Robert NJ. Guy, who was cha
peroning him, we had gone over one morning
from New York to Brooklyn, in 1866 per.
haps, to see him and hear him preach,
which he had been doing year or two
Spending some time in his study, we walked
down towards his church, when he said to
us, "You will be much more edited in
hearing Mr.. Beecher," and pointed out
plymouth" We heard Beecher. In a
few days after reaching home, we had his
invitation to accompany him to Milwaukee
to see him married. We could not accept.
He soon became pastor of one of its church
es. One of his prominent pupils at Messy
Greek, DIR. John E. Lockridge, had become
a resident of Indianapolis. The Presbyte-
rian church, of which his relatives, the
Bradshaws, were members, was vacant.
His influence induced the call of Mr.. Bart
lett there. Presently, he lost his life, and,
after some time, married in Western New
Y York.
Twoyea ago he was called to Washing
ton City. We reminded him that we had
the sesston-boek of Messy Creek church in
hand a few days ago, (and i. was then in
twenty yards of us, on whi;h his name,
under the Rev. John Pinkerton, pastor,
was enrolled. We did not catch his reply
accurately, but it was, ''that it was the
only church-roll in which it could be
found" Presently, meeting Mr. Tucker,
he said to us he had just met DR.. Bartlett,
who.told him she wished to meet him, be-
cause his father and mother were found oc-
cupying pew in his church every Sab
BATH" Few men, at his time of life, have
attained higher reputation. A FRIEND.
