Hydrophobla, or Rabies, SO far us the
dog, although many other animals and
men are subject to it. SO far as dOmes-
tic animals are concerned, they become
rabid after being bitten by rabid dogs. 1t
becomes therefore most important TO rec
ognize the malady in its earliest stages,
because SO large a proportion of animals
and men who are thus bitten, naturally
take the disease, and die of it in mutter-
able aSony-cOnscious of the intensest
suffering, yet craZed by it., and rendered
dangerous to their attendants and best
friends. Dog owners should therefore be
always alert and suspicious of any symp-
toms of illness on the part Of their dogs
Mr.. a. j, Sewell, member of the Royal
College of Veterinary Surgeons, states
cconcisely the primary symptoms as fol-
lows: If loss of appetite is observed,
become fearless, snap ut and bite large
and small dogs without provocation, and
this snap is often preceded by lick from
the rabid dog. Even the cat is Liable to be
attacked. Cheerful dogs become morose
ana sullen, quiet ones restless, and good
tempered ones unquiet, and disposition
TO hide in dark corners is observed. The
park becomes Il short, dismal, hollow
half bark and half howl, readily notice
able, us the usual bark should be known
to the owner. As rule, rabid dogs re-
fuse food, yet they will devour filth,
stones straw, etc. They viii Enaw the
woodwork Of their kennel heurth-rugs,
table cloths, legs of tables, chair. a
rlbid dog has II great inclination to es-
cape and wander. Hence, when any sus-
picious symptoms shall have been detect
ed, he should be securely chained. Rabid
dogs have no fear of water, and during
he early stage can drink freely. In
dumb rabies the lower jaw is paralyzed
aud is slightly dropped, while the mouth
Is slightly open, with fixed appearance.
Any dog suspected to have been bitten by
n rabid animal, should be killed as once.

EDISON'S LATEST WORK.


NEW YORK, Feb. "A party of some
fifty gentlemen, including capitalists, cleo
tricians and journalists, started at > p. m,
yesterday, from Clifton, Staten Island, for
Tottenville. fifteen miles, for the purpose
of witnessing the practical working of Ed
ison's latest and most wonderful inven-
ton, the sending and receiving of tele
graphic messages by railway trains while
in motion. During the run of the train
between the points mentioned Il large
number of messages were sent and re-
ceived. Messages written by the gentle
men of the party addressed to themselves,
were left at Clinton, and We're received by
the same gentlemen on the train while
going at full speed. The apparatus used
consists of an ordinary Morse key, phon-
etic receiver, an electro magnet and n
battery. No special or extra wire
is used running between or near
the rails, but the messages jump
through the air between the tin roofs of the
cars and the ordinary wires strung along
by the side of the railway, Il distance of
from % to 400 feet. The farthest distance
traversed without wire was forty or fifty
feet The metallic rooms of the cars We're
connected together by wires, which com
municated with Il Morse Geographic in
strument placed in one of the cars. An
operator sat i'll front OF the instrument,
and though the noise of the train rendered
the ticks indiStlnct, he read them easily
by means of "A telephone and wrote out the
messages as they We're delivered.
Mr.. Edison was ON board, the subject of
many congratulations. He said that an
other train behind equipped with Il SINH
lar apparatus, could pick the same mes
sages of the wires. Mr. Edison said that
all the trains on every road would hence
forth be in constant communication with
each other, and collisions would be known
no more. The experiment was com
plete success, messages being constantly
received and sent by all on board without
hitch or interruption.
1t is understood that experiments will
be made by Edison between vessels next
summer, testing the adaptablity of the
system to marine travel. Mr. Edison
thinks he can telegraph three miles by
ompl0ying merely The Mater and air.

GERMANY WILL HAVE NO POLES.
Bismarck's Act of Expulsion Meets the
Favor of His Countrymen.

BERLIN, Feb 2.-The Polish policy of
Prince Bismarck as announced in the land
tag has produced general excitement
throughout Germany and Austria. The
immense Dubrienski estate, containin ny
2OO, 900 acres, one of the largest estates in
Prussia, is offered for sale next April as a
result of the expulsion of Poles. The in
habitants of the estate have for years been
mainly Poles and the edict of expulsion
by forcibly removing the tennantry and
depriving the estate of its revenues has
thrown it upon the market, Bismarck 5 an
nounced policy of purchasing for the
crown all real estate owned by Polish
mobiles and gentry in Prussia, for sale to
German colonists is opportune for the
present proprietors of the Iubrenski
lands, since at any ordinary sale the proper
ty must have gone at bankrupt prices
Bismarck does not intend to take advan-
tage of the explosions To buy the land in
POsen cheap, but means to pay fairly for
it, and his land tag declarations have in
fact served to keep up values by assuring
Il market. Addresses of sympathy have
been sent to Bismarck by Germans in
every part of the empire, and many have
already reached him from people in Aus
trla.

l10cents.
Heretofore the difference between the may
or'S estimates and the amount finally raised
has been considerable, but believe that my
estimates are large enough and that we can
and ou%ht to get along with IL tax of 10 cents.
Moderate taxation encourages new business
enterprises, and induces honest returns of
property by taxpayers.
The interest account is lessened $500, as
S'50.UO0 of water bonds is become due and are
to he paid by refIndug, July |, next. These
bonds can be refunded readily at 4 per cent,
and think at BE per cent ut par and possibly
at per cent. It's our credit is descrvedly high.
OF the appropriation for the Wnooski bridge

The estimate of 5000 to complete it is but

the bridge the amount due from tho town of
