CAPT. BLAKE's CHANGE.

Apropos OF poor John McCulloughs lamentable
mental condition, Capt Blake, Of the CorcOran, an
old and intimate friend of HIS tells this little anec-
dote: The gallant Captain last fall was taking few
weeks recreation from his arduous duties Of daily
ploughing the historical waters Of old Potomac to
and from his Country's Fathers grave, and while
stopping at the st. James Hotel. New York, ran
across Mccullough. A feeling of intense thirst
simultaneously came over the old friends, and the
Commander Immediately suggested an adjournment
to the "cafe" for u libatlon. Poor John was almost
overcome at meeting his old friend, and of course
he Immediately began telling him Of his troubles,
claiming that lie could act better In his life
than then, and for his mind being weak, why that
was simply ridiculous. At the same time, when the
change OF forty cents out of Bakes dollar for the
lemonades was placed on the bar, the poor actor
quietly took 1t and-put II In his own pocket OF
course nothing could have induced Blake to call
attention TO the error but he forced TO conclude
that his lifelong friend, Notwithstanding his
emphatic protestations to the contrary, was OBJ
vIously a little " off.n

THIS Is the time OF year when the victim of hy-
drophobia begins to furnish moro and OF tragic
material for newspaper paragraphs. These go the
rounds Of the papers 40 often and the dreadful de-
tails OF all cases are much alike that most people
skip them with the half-incredulous Indifference
with which we learn to treat the woman buried alive
and all the other horrors that seem too horrtd 10 be
true In the daily press. If, however, had taste
for collecting Information on such a subject, and
should apply to that newly y-established bureau OF
scrap-book material In New York for all the cases OF
hydrophobia, or closely allied topic, all the items
relative to people bitten by dogs that appear In the
papers, we have doubt that the result OF his in
quiries would astonish even the most firm believer
In the dangerous character Of the canine population.
II s curious and not an ungratifying feature OF
these cases that the pet" dogs who suddenly de-
velop vicious taste for mangled human flesh are
quite as apt to indulge In the persons OF their mas
ters as any one else. This is emnently proper and
quite IN the line OF logic followed by Marys lamb,
"because Mary loved the lamb, you know" The
man who appreciates the society of dog most
keeny must recognize the justice Of the dogs appre
ciatlng him, from edible point Of view. There
ia something rather hard about case where person
who has never endangered his own or his neghbor's
life or peace Of mind by keeping dog Is set upon
and Killed by one, but when man or woman whose
taste to pets Of this description Is savagely
attacked by his own fonded and admired animal
the dsinterested spectator OF judicial mind can re-
gard the matter with grin of satisfaction. And
yet the highest taste, or rather fashion, In these
matters runs more and more In the direction OF
danger. The more vicious the dog the more swell
the owner provided the vciousness be Of the breed
and unadulteraied, and we even read OF a Fifth
