Horrible Death from HytlrOphObfa.
About the middle of February last Mr.. John
Burch Harrell, a popular young man of George
town, S. c., was attacked and bitten on the
hand and arm by dog. No one at that time
thought that the dog had hydrOphObia The
wounds of Mr.. Harrcll healed rapidly, and his
health was remarkably good, and it was not
until last Saturday that he felt any effects
of the disease. On that morning he said to his
family, II have peculiar pain in my shoulder
will kill me-" From that moment he began
to get worse, and by Sunday night it was seen
that the case was hopeless. Tuesday morning
he was frantic, foamng at the mouth, and
could only be kept in bed by main force The
sight of water would set him wild and bring on
quiet by heavy does of morphine. He showed
symptoms of great agony, although he never
complained of pain. He died Tuesday after
noon.

ssGad! but you have a cold climate
up here! Why down south on the
Central Pacific road, it is as warm as
roast potatoes, and then to come up
here. Whew: 1t is as good as ether

''Gypsy's" Ravenous Appetite.

Yes. Gypsy here has some queer
tastes and habits"
1he speaker was the manager of 4
circus which is quartered in the city for
the winter. The gypsy referred to was
. iarge-sized 9-year old elephant who
stood close by, playfully throwing hay
over his back. A few minutes before
the manager had dropped from his
pocket bliar-wood pipe that had seen
over year of service and was by no
means sweet. Gypsy saw the tempting
morsel and calmly reached ont his
trunk forit, put it in his mouth. crunched
Il up, and while doing So rolled his
eyes about with every appearance Of
satisfaction.

Mark Twain describes that chewed up

any old clothes lying within reach of
his trunk. Gypsy will take just about
three minutes to get away with a coat.
A pair of pants viii disappear down his

difference whether they were imported i
or domestic, basket pattern or cork

that if the garment was old and greasy |

s.But wish you could be here in the
morning when he gets up. You see,
the keeper of the animals makes his bed
on the ground in the near vicinity of
the cages. Gypsy always lies down on
his bed of straw close by. In the morn

those whose nerves are all unstrung

general miserableness all over.
There is ne boubt about the advice be-

thOuSa nds can follow it? Not one in twen-

where you have gone againt Nature the

CHOLERA IS COMING.
a Mysterious Light In the Hills that ii
Considered as a Warning

n Mysterious Light In the Hills that is
Considered as y Warning.
PORT JERvIs, Feb. 2O.-A curious phe-
nOmenOn was witnessed by residents of
Mongaup, Sullivan county, a small viii
lage in the Delaware valley, five miles
west of this place, on the night of the re-
cent g eat snow storm. On the Pennsyl-
vania side of the river the Pike county
hills rise teep and rocky to several hun
dred feet higl. While the storm was at
its height bright light suddenly flashed
up among the high rocks opposite Mon
gaup, near the summit of the range.
There was no blaze, but the snow-covered
rocks glOwed like red-hot iron for a dis
tance of several feet around. The light
resembled a huge bed of live Goals. and
cast weird reflection on the snow, throw
ing the trunks and lower branches of the
bare trees into strong relief The light
cleaned through the storm for several
minutes, and then gradually grew dim
and disappeared.
AS it would be difficult and hazardous
for any person to reach the spot where
the light was seen, even in the day time
and in summer, it is not thought that any
one could have possibly clambered to the
spot at night, up the steep ledge. covered
two feet deep with frozen snow, and
through binding snow storm. The
mysterious light is, therefore, not charged
to any human agency, and the supersti-
tiOus look upon its strange appearance as
some kind of an omen. An old inhabi-
tant says that in 1886, when cholera ragged
through this country, similar lights APP
peared on the mountains in the winter
and spring. He says it Is another warn
ing that cholera is on its way.
