CHICAGO, May 5.-The Anarchists Of
Chicago inauglrated in earnest last night
the reign Of lawlessness which they have
threatened and endeavored to incite for
years. They threw bomb into the
midst Of line Of 200 police officers, and
it exploded with fearful effect. Almost
before the missile of death had exploded
the Anarchists directed a murderous fire
with revolvers upon the police, as If
their action was prearranged, and as the
latter were hemmed in on every side.
ambuscaded- effect Of the fire upon
the ranks of the officers was fearful.
When the police had recovered from the
first shock of the attack they charged
upon their world-be murderers, shooting
at every step and moving them down, as
their fellow-officers had been laid low by
the bomb. The Anarchists fed in dis
may before the charge. The collision
between the police and the Anarchists
was brought about by the leaders Of the
latter, August Spies, Sam Fielden and
A. r. Parsons, endeavoring to incite a
large mass-meeting to riot and blood
shed. From Sociaistic headquarters
there issued late in the afternoon the fol-
lowing circular, which was distributed
throughout the lab0ring quarters Of the
city by thousands:
attention! Workingmen: Great mass

columns Of the police and literally moved

Useful In Many Ways.

Never throw away old paper. If you
have no wish to sell it, use it in the
house. Some housekeepers prefer it to
cloth for cleaning many articles of furni
ture. After stove has been blackened,
it can be kept looking very well for
long time by rubbing it with paper every
morning. Rubbing with paper is a much
nicer way of keeping tea-kettle, coffee
pot, and teapot bright and clean than
the old way of washing them in suds.
Rubbing with paper is also the best way
of polishing knives, tinware and spoons;
they shine ike new silver. For polishing
mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, ETC.,
paper is better than dry cloth. Pre-
serves and pickles keep much better if
brown paper, instead of cloth, is tied
over the jar. Preserved fruit is not so
apt to mold if piece of writing paper,
cut to fit the jar, is laid directly over the
fruit. Paper is much better to put
under carpet than straw. 1t is warmer,
thinner, and makes less noise when one
walks over it.

The Case of Joseph Meister.

By the application of this method, say
M. Pasteur in the Popular Science Monthly,
/ had succeeded in getting fifty dogs, of
various ages and races, proof against
rabies without having had a single fail
ure, when, on the 9th of July last, three
persons from Alsace unexpectedly pre-
sented themselves at my laboratory The
odore VOne, grocer at Meissengott, near
Schelstadt, who had been bitten in the
arm on the 4th of July by his own dog,
became mad; Joseph Meister, nine years
of age, who had been bitten by the same
dog at 8 o'clock in the morning of the
same day, and who, thrown to the
ground by the dog bore the marks of
numerous bites on his hands, legs, and
thighs, some of them so deep as to make
walking hard for him. The more seri-
GUS wounds had been cauterized only
twelve hours after the accident, or at 8
o'clock in the evening of the same day,
with phenic acid, by DR.. Weber, of
Vile; the third person who had not been
bitten, was the mother of Joseph Meis-
ter.
At the autopsy of the dog, which had
been killed by its master, we found its
stomach filled with hay, straw and pieces
of wood. 1t was certainly mad. Joseph
Meister had been picked up from under
it covered with froth and blood. M.
Vone had marked bruises on his arms,
but he assured me that the dogs teeth
had not gone through his shirt. As he had
nothing to fear, I told him he might go
back to Alsace the same day, and he did
so; but kept little Meister and his
mother.
The weekly meeting of the Academy of
Sciences took place on the 9th of July. l
saw our associate, DR.. Vulpian, there,
and told him what had passed. He and
DR.. Grancher, professor in the Ecole do
Medicine had the kindness to
come and see little Joseph Meister at
once, and ascertain his condition and the
number of his wounds, of which there
were no less than fourteen. The opinion
of these two physicians was that, in con-
sequence of the severity and number of
the bites upon him, Joseph Meister was
almost certain to have hydropbobia 1

Acres Of SunfiOWers.

Very many of the spring chickens sold
in this city are raised on sunfower seed.
At many points in New Jersey there are
chicken farms where chickens are raised
by the thousand. Many receive their
first start in life from the incubator, and
when large enough are put on diet of
sunfower seeds, which are full of oil and
are very fattening. The sunfower gives
liltle trouble to the farmer, as it is a
hardy plant and grows without cultiva-
ton. Some farmers plant three or four
acres of sunfowers, and such fields have
surprisingly gaudy appearance, The
perfume is sickening, but when turned
into spring chicken the sunfower be-
comes a pleasant table ornament. .--NeU

A Lucky COnfectiOner.

A German confectioner, while tramp
ing through Turkey short time ago,
saluted the Sultan vigorously as the latter
drove past. Unaccustomed to such an
exhibition of cordiality, one of the sui
tan's officers thought it best to inquire
if it had any significance. His explana-
ton proving satisfactory and his inno-
cence clear, and the avowal of his avoca-
ton, moreover, creating evident interest,
the man was dismissed with present and
an injunction to turn up the next day
with clean skin and new clothes. The
result of the second interview was that
the confectioner was set to making pastry,
and his success was so complete that he
was engaged right off at salary of 500
piasters per month. The pastry found
its way to the sultan's table, and his
highness was so pleased with it that he
made the stranger his confectioner at
once, with 1000 piasters month for
making tarts.

A Great Hop Field.

A Tacoma (Wyoming Territory cor
respondent of the Cleveland Leader says:
cat the rear of the house appeared to me
a rare scene. Here stood acres of hop
vines, wonderfully luxuriant in growth,
and falling in rich brown festoons from
poles eighteen or twenty feet in height.
From these masses of vines not a single
hop had been picked this year, and they
were now laden with their scaly fruitage.
From the leafy crown on each pole
dripped shower of glistening drops,
producing all over the field ringing
pit pat as they touched the ground, while
above them, exhaled under the increasing
heat of the sun, rose thin clouds of shin
ing vapor. On every hand tall trees
hemmed the clearing in. There were only
two dwellings in sight. One of these
stood across the river slightly obscured
by mist. AS everybody knows, the ex-
cessive dampness of the sound country is
due to its position between the Great Sea
and the Cascade Mountains. The vapors
exhaled from the ocean, not being able,
as they roll inland, to surmount these
mighty SUBMITS, are turned back, con-
densed and precipitated to the earth in
plentiful rains, fogs and mists.
81 have said that from these sixty-three
acres of hops not bale has been marketed
this season, nor will be. why is thatp
Simply because the price of hops this year
at the picking season was too low to pay
for harvesting. The owner had sunk sew
eral thousand dollars in the cultivation
of his crop. The picking and curing
would add several thousands more to the
amount, and as he believed, from the
tendency of the market, would put moth
ing in his pocket. So he let the acrid
fruit hang. Further along the season it
will fall to the ground and the money
with it. Next spring both will be
plowed under, the combination forming
one of the most unique fertilizers ever
employed. 1t turned out, however, when
too late to harvest, that the market i'm
proved a little, enough so that something
like SO, 900 might have been put in bank
had the ingathering taken place. Last
years crop on these same acres sold for
nearly $14,00 From this statement
may be formed some idea of the loss sus-
tained the present season.
''The average yield of hops per acre in
any of these extremely fertile valleys is
from 1900 to pounds. In specially
favored locations it amounts up to 5000
pounds, while on thin soils it may drop
to | 200.

1t is related that on one occasion two
hunters attacked a pair of hoods and i'm
prudently killed the female. The ''dog"
Immediately inflated his hood and rushed
at them furiously. They fought him
with their gaffs till nearly exhausted,
and a terrible death threatened both. As
last desperate resource one of them re-
solved to dash in upon the infuriated
brute, while the other stood ready for the
emergency. Drawing his jacknife the
hunter rushed on the dog, and stuck it
by well-planted blow into the inflated
hood. Instantly the air escaped, the
shield was rendered useless, and blow
or two on the nose from the gaff Of the
other dispatched him. York SIN.

Bull against Buck.

A remarkable fight occurred recently
on the farm of the Hon. Oscar Turner in
Ballard county between large Durham
bull, belonging to Col. Turner, and a
buck weighing over 200 pounds. Both
were found in the forest dead, only a few
feet apart. The bull had been gored
three times by the buck, the last thrust
entering the animals heart, and must
have killed him almost instantly. The
deer was dreadfully bruised, though the
skin had not been cut through. The
ground where the fight occurred was cut

DISTANCE,

On softening days, when a storm was near,
AT the farmhouse door have stood in tho
gray,
And caught in the diseance, faint but clear
The sound of a train, passing, far away.
The warning bell when the start was made,
The engines putting of smoke unseen,
With the heavy rumble as wheels obeyed--
Across the miles between.
And so sometimes, on a mooness night,
When the stars shine soft and the wind is
low,
To my listening soul, in the pallid light,
Come the trembling voices of long ago
The tuneful echoes when hope was young
The tender song of love serene,
And the throbbing rhythm of passions
tongue
Across the years between.
