A Mysterious Cllasm.

THE NATURAL PHENOMENON THAT IS FRIGHT
ENING NORTH CAROLINA PEOPLE.
A special to the Philadelphia Times, from
Raleigh, n. c., says: "There is great excitement
In Longacre township, in Beaufort county, in
regard to an alarming natural phenomenon
which is rapidly developing itself On the
night of September 8 shocks of great violence
were felt in that vicinity. The scene of the dis
turbances is in the vicinity OF Shiloh church,
the central point of the shock. A chasn has
made its appearance directly across the public
road, near the church, measuring u foot in
width and a hundred yards in length. From
every indication the surroundings seem
to be In an unsettled condition. The news
of the strange phenomenon soon spread in the
community and u number of excited persons
were present in a short time. 1t was obServ ed
that the chasm was gradually widening and
extending its course, showing that some un-
usual cOnvulsiOn of nature was in progress. AS
there was no further violent agitation at that
time, the affair has remained comparatively
quiet and the public at large have just become
fully aware of its magnitude.
The sO-called rent Or chasm is now assuming
very serious proportions. 1t is continually
widening and lengthenng in progress and ac-
tually threatening disaster to the surrounding
section. 1t has now deviated from its former
course, which was an easterly to nOrtherly
direction, crossing a small enibankment and
running in ZgZag line about fifty yards from
the church. Several attempts have been made
to obtain an idea of the depth of the chasm, but
have been unsuccessful, owing to the shape in
which 1t runs.

picture of having corrupted both the model and

the professors arrest on the 24th of March last.
Inc details of the charge were so horrible that
secret inquiry was had, and the result Of this
mas been the conviction of the prisoner and the
publication OF the scandal. The defense was
that the mother OF the girls had sold their per.
sons TO the professor; that she had compelled
nun during the period of his relations with the
girls to pay her in all the sum of $4,000 marks
and that her prosecution was instigated solely
by his refusal to be further blackmailed.

Rabies In Iowa.

HOGS AND COWS THAT WERE BITTEN BY A
DOG GO MAD.
Bayard Qowa) special says that five weeks
ago John SecOr, living fcur miles south of that
town, had a dog that went mad in the night
and was gone two days and nights before it
was killed. 1t was seen to bite several head of
cattle, horses, and hogs besides many dogs.
Two weeks ago stock was attacked with the
rabies hogs taking it first. Secor had a COW go
mad II days ago, and it came near killing one
OF his boys. He shot her and since then has
killed three more. The losers are &. w .Dewer,
four cows; James Love, three cows; John
Barnes, one COW; Edward Mcdonald, one steer;
James Mcdonald, two steers: j. Hill and ]. Cor
rigan, each a fine colt. Other losers are Leaf,
Secor and How. No dogs are allowed on the
streets of Bayard without n muZzle, and nearly
all the farmers have killed their dogs. DIR.
Smiths dog went mad, but was killed one half
mile from home. Charles ManvilleS dog went
mad and came very near biting him before it
was killed. At present there Is only one mad
animal in this REGION AND that is A. I. Loves,
but as there was mad dog killed yesterday
the malady is likely 10 break out IA :ain soon.

Something About Sea.Sick ness.

OBSERVATIONS OF A GERMAN sANANT WHO
MADE VOYAGE AROUND THE WoRLn.
From the London Spectator.
At recent meeting of the Berlin Medical
society, Or. Neuhaus, who lately made a
voyage round the world for the purpose, as it
would seem, OF studying the phenomena of
sea-sickness, gave an account of his observa-
tions and conclusions which appears to have
greatly interested his colleagues.
DIR. Neuhaus' first point is that vomiting and
sea-sickneSs are by no means one and the same
thing. Nor, we may add, do sickness and vom-
iting in English any more than in German
mean one and the same thing. The primitive
and correct meaning of sickness is disc; &C.
"Peter's wife's mother sick of q Ievcr;'
"the Lady Ann is sick, and like to die and we
still speak of"sick lists and "sick clubs" Why,
then, is the word generally held to signify but
one morbid symptom? Doubtless because sea-
sickness is almost always accompanied by that
symptom, and because it is the most painful and
unpleasant Of all. ''The first indications of sea-
Illness" says DIR. Neuhaus, "arc a general feel
Ing of discomfort, loss OF appetite, giddineSs,
lowering of the hearts action: constipation,
headache and sluggish liver" He divides peo-
pie who go to sea into three groups or classes
those who are never sick, the proportion OF
whom does s, not 1,H exceed 3 per cent; those who
3 per cent and those who, after a few days ILL
ness, adapt themselves to their environment,
and suffer no further Inconvenience Sea-sick-
ness, in the main, is caused by the rapidly
varying pressure OF blood ON the brain, due to
the upward and downward motion OF the ship.
- d
the pressure increases; as she rises to its crest,
the pressure diminishes, and nausea is the na-
tural and ordinary consequence of a sudden
rush of blood from the brain. While journeying
round the world, MIR. Neuhaus ascertained, by
personal observation and actual measurement,
that when ship is much tossed about, the
livers OF those OF her passengers who have not
got accustomed to the motion, become
affected In q very remarkable man.
ner. This is in part due to the loss
OF liquid in the system; but in bad
cases, where the patient lies all day long in an
almost inert condition, suffering from acute
headache, the affection assumes one of the
lighter forms Of blood-poisoning, from reten-
tion in the system of an element usually given
Off Great relief may be obtained by lying on
the side, with the head resting on the breast
and the knees drawn up as near as possible to
the chin. In this position the variation in the
pressure OF blood on the brain is reduced to a
minimum, and the stomach and its nerves in a
great measure are protected from the vibra-
tions of the ship. Chloral hydrate may also be
used with advantage; 1t soothes the irritated
brain, and often enables the sufferer to obtain
much-needed sleep. It should be given. in

The Apostles Indignant.

MORE CONVICTIONS IN UTAH-JUDGE ZANE
DENOUNCED IN THE TABERNACLE.
Five men convicted in the third district court
in Utah yesterday, under the anti-polygamy
law, all refused to pledge themselves to obey
the law in the future and were sentenced to the
full extent of the law. namely, six months i'm
prisOnment and $500 fine.
In the tabernacle at Salt Lake City Sunday
apostle Heber j. Grant said: '.WOe be to the
judge who sits on the bench of the third district
court. We will not stand his abuse much
longer. He cannot insult honest men and re-
vie VirtuouS women with fmpunity by calling
them bastards and cOncubines.' Apostle Grant
then warmly lauded those OF the brethren who
had refused TO submit To the law, and called
upon the court to do its worst He Continued:
Judge Zane has taken course that has made
him Il coward and unfit to be called man. and
condemnation will fall upon him and the heads
of his children. Remember, there is a limit,
and this limit must soon be reached" These
remarks were greeted with shouts o: '.Amen,"
