A SETBACK FOR PASTEUR.-A farmer
from Roumania died in Paris Of hydropho-
bia yesterday while under treatment by M.
Pasteur. The Roumanian was bitten by Il
rabid dog on May IL, and reached M. Pas
teur on May %. After no had been under
treatment for eleven days he exhibited
symptoms of hydrophobia on Saturday last
and suffered the agonies of rabies for nearly
forty eight hours before death relieved him.
The mans death and all the circumstances
attending his case are held to upset the
theory about the period required for hydro.
phobia to incrbate, for the farmer was
under M. Pasteur's treatment long while
before the expiration OF the time heretofore
deemed requisite for the poisonous saliva to
obtain control of the victims system.

THE GIRL THAT REsEMBLED Miss Fol-
soM.-Mrs. Folsom met with peculiarly
ludcrous little adventure in one of the
Twenty. third street dry-goods palaces, where
she had gone with another lady, leaving
Miss Folsom at the hotel. They noticed that
the girl who was waiting upon them seemed
possessed of peculiar uneasiness, and a
desire to keep her eyesi in another part OF
the store, which was finally explained when
she broke out:
"Oh, madam, would you like to see the
Presidents bride?n
swell, l certainly should" replied Mrs.
Folsom, with animation.
'There she is, over there" exclaimed the
girl, and added: "Oh, my, isn't she just love-
ly?"
Mrs. Folsom agreed that she was, and
made gallant but vain attempt to restrain
her laughter as the throng in the store
pushed about among the counters to size up
the surprised young lady who had been
mistaken for Miss Folsom.-From the Boston

Both the sisters are young and one has been

these girls, just for the fun of the thing, be-
ing of a lively, daring temperament, allow

were with their parents, to tattoo their
cheeks with red, and it has remained in The
skin ever since, making the cheeks wear al
ways peculiar brick dust hue. that no one

The r. AND D. AND THE TERMINAL COM
PANY.-John C. Calhoun, representing the
stockholders of the Richmond and West
Point Company who oppose the proposed
transfer for an inadequate consideration of
q large amount of securities owned by the
company to the Richmond and Danville
railroad company, makes statement, from
which it appears that the Richmond and
Danvllle few weeks ago purchased from
the West Point Terminal Company, certain
Southern railroad securities, the price paid
for which was 50, SOC, 900 of the capital stock
of the West Point Company. By yielding
up this stock the Richmond and Danville
loses it's control of the West Point Company,
but obtains possession of "a lot Of valuable
securities. It is stated that most of the stocks
and bonds sold to the Richmond and Danville are
in the hands of tho Central Trust Company,
pledged to secure loan of $2,5O0,OOO. The Sc
curities cannot be delivered until this loan is
paid. The committee has secured an injunction
preventing the directors of the two roads from
proceeding. The securities pledged to the Central
Trust Company have q nominal vaiuc of w.
OOO, 900 and an actual value of $l1 ,OOO,OOO. The
committee is therefore anxious to prevent their
sale to the Richmond and Danville for an made
quste consideration. The committee hope to be
able to effect settlement without long and te
dious litigation.
