comes unwillingiy, and goes back as soon as
possible he Is very nervous, and frequently
rearranges his litter and skulks about from one
corner to another. His eyes show the change
that is coming on. Dogs sick with any disease
are apt 10 seek dark corners, but in hydrOphObia
they are invariably restless The next symn

Women as Moral Reformers.

From weston CIV. Va) Special Letter
Yesterday great excitement was occasoned in
this place by the forcible immersion in the
river at midnight Of q well-known widow. the
persons laying violent hands upon her being
equally weil-known. For some time past the
widow In question, Mrs. Dodson by NAME has
been conducting herself in manner which
failed to meet the approval Of her neighbors.
and at an informal gathering of half dozen
females 1T was determined that an example
should be made Of her. Accordingly about
ladies, who felt that the good name of the COM
erring sister, met at the residence Of one of
their number, disguised themselves so as to be
unrecognizable, proceeded to Mrs. DOdson's
home and knocked at the door. The unsuspect-
Ing widow opened 1t In o few moments, when
she was seized by her asSailants, q shawl
thrown over her head to stifie her screams and
the party hurried their victim towards the
river, . hundred yards distant Mrs DOdsOn
realizing that the party meant mischief made q
desperate resistance, but her efforts to beat off
the women were unavailing, and she was
dragged to the bank and unceremoniously
tossed into the icy cold water OF the stream the
party rapidly making their several ways home

son managed TO reach the bank and regain her
home, when she gave the alarm, and q search
for her assailants was instituted but no trace of
them could be found. The victim is expected
TO swear out warrants for number Of suspected
parties In q few days, however, and the town is
on the que vive In anticipation OF such action.

How Some Letters are Lost.

From the London Standard.
When letters are lost 1t by no means follows
that the postal authorities are invariably to
blame. Sometimes it happens that, through
culpable careleesness or shere absence of mind
ON the part of the people who post them, i'm
portant missives go astray, to the great annoy
ance of everybody concerned. A postman in a
northern town has just given the public the
benefit of his own recent experience in this
direction. In one case a gentleman hastily
jerked a letter ADDRESSED to q business firm in
France into the aperture of letter-box and left
sticking there. Fortunately. the pOstman was
approaching at the moment to clear the box or
the letter might have been stolen by an I'M
scrupulous passer-Oy, or lost in the street On
another occasion a gentleman, who was run
ming to overtake a friend made a dash at the
letter-box as he rushed past with two thin
postcards, which caught the edge of the
opening and sprang back upon the pavement
The gentleman was quite Oblivious of the acct
dent, and, eager to Overtake his friend, was
quickly out of sight. In the third case a gentle
man was walking down the street with apost-
card in his hand. and as he drew near the letter
box man at a shop-doOr gave him an advertise
ment card. Instead Of putting the postcard
into the letter-boX, he carefully posted the ad-
vertisement card, and then deliberately folded
the postcard two or three times and threw 1t
into the gutter! The vigilant 'postman was
passing along at the moment and saw the
curious blunder, and the postcard was duly
rescued from untimely oblivion.

AT a time when loose statements as to the
magnitude of the issues at stake in an Anglo
Russian contest are SO general it may be useful
to recall some of the statistics Of the last war in
which Russia took part. From the crossing Of
the Danube in June, 1877, until February, 1878
the Russian loss in killed and wounded was
S9.3O4. The cost of that little war in money
was equally frightful The official report of the
total expenses was 9O2, 600, 900 rubles, avear-
aging 32,2OO,OOO monthly. The silver ruble is
equal to about eighty cents but the rubles cur
rent in Russia then deprecated nearly one-third
During the war this paper currency swelied
from Il 600, 900 to 1,154 900 rubles, and loan
followed loan. Still the lesson of peace does
not seem to have been learned. Under another
such burden killing taxes and virtual bank
ruptcy must follow peace whatever the issue
of the struggle. and 1t is not impossible that
even if absOlutism be victorious in the field 1t
may meet its death blow at home. At least
that is the view Of King-kiler Hartmann, who,
speaking in the name of the nihilists, is re-
ported to have said that during the war the
terrorists would be quiet, confident in the belief
that the sequel of the war, whoever cOnQuers
will be the ending of the line of cars.
