RABID DOG.

IF bitten by rabid dog apply
common salt, as it has a great affini-
ty for water and may extract the
poison with the serum of the blood.
Indeed salt should be applied to the
bite of any dog, and to the sting or
bite of any insect or reptile; there
is nothing better. Then in case of
a snake, free use of stimulants-
such as ammonia, (hartshorn, bran
dy and the like-will keep up the
vital powers until the poison is
elimated. Salt is useful as an APP
plication to all wounds, it being
one of the very best germicides
which renders it so useful in pre-
serving, etc. The milder prepare
tons OF soda answer a good purpose
in burns and scalds, in which salt
could not be we'll borne on account Of
the pain it would produce. Greens.

Some strange scenes are yet enac
ted in Delaware. A special from
Wilmington says: "The whippings
at New castle Jail this morning were
remarkable for the number of VIC
TINS, the heavy penalties, and the
number of lashes laid on. Not for
many years have such large num-
Der been made to thug the post" in
one day. There were 10 colored
victims and Z whites. One man GOT
40 lashes; 4 others, 20 lashes; 9, 10
lashes, and 3, 5 lashes. In all there
were 225 blows struck, an average
of Ii blows. In addition to the
whipping, . men were compelled to
stand for an hour in the pillory.
Sugar Awful one of the colored
men, was whipped the sixth time
within eight years. He had been a
thief for twelve years, and has been
before the chief justice eight times"
1t appears that the fear of the whip
ping post has not deferred the peo-
pie in Delaware from committing
crime any more than other modes of
punishment in other states have de-
tered them.

STRANGE TALE.

A STRANGE and almost incredible
tale is told of whole family of
counterfeiters being arrested in
Edwardsville, ILL.,, recently. The
family, by name Russell, had but
lately moved to the city, and posed
as altogether respectable and trust
worthy. Shortly after their arrival
they were joined by a man named
Boehling, who, in few days, dis
appeared. After being missed from
the streets for month, he startled
the occupants of the streets by
jumping from window of the
house occupied by the Russells,
pursued by two young women, who
captured him and were dragging
the struggling victim back into the
house, when the police interposed.
Boehling peached on them. He
stated that the family was expert
counterfeiters, and that he had
quarreled with them and they had
kept him prisoner for month in a
room of their residence. A search
discovered complete counterfeiter's
outfit, with a bucket full Of spurious
gold fve-dollar pieces. The family
consisted of mother, three daughters
and two sons.

A red headed girl never turns
brown. That is because she has too
much iron in her blood. 1t is the
iron that gives the fine Titan hue to
her hair. If she had less iron in
her blood her hair would probably
be brown or chestnut, or perhaps
blonde. The varying degrees OF
redness of various red headed girls
is due to the different proportions Of
iron in their blood. A girl with
glossy, brownish hair that shows red
in strong light has only a fair
share of iron in her blood, but a
bricktop is full of iron. The doc
tors know of no way OF neutralizing
the effect of the iron. Perhaps
they wouldn't resort to it, even if
they knew it. For it is the iron in
the blood that makes red headed
girl so strong and hardy and good
natured. 1t is also the cause OF
freckles, which are very good fol-
the health. And it is noted as a
singular thing probably also hav-
ing some relation to the iron in the
blood-that mosquitoes never bite
red headed girls.

Electric prostration" is the name
given to a disorder which troubles
workers under electric lights. Sc
we're cases are reported from Creu-

mace is used for quickly heating

candle-power and the men suffer
from it, and not from the heat. AT

INSURANCE RATES.

There is complaint i'll some Sec
tions that the rates of insurance in
Georgia are too high. Whether this
be true or not, this deponent an
swereth not, but instances are com
ing to the surface wherein New
York underwriters will insure prop
erty in Georgia considerable cheap
er than insurance companies doing
business in Georgia.
Again considerable advance has
been made in the rates of marine
insurance on cotton this year, and
it is quite clear that the farmers pay
this insurance. For in fixing the
price for cotton the insurance on
the same is always considered and a
margin allowed for it. On this sub
ject of insurance the Savannah
Morning News very pertinently re.
marks:
'There is a sort of insurance mo-
nopoly in this state. The law which
makes it necessary for a company
outside of the state to deposit $685.
900 with the state treasurer before
it can do business in the state, fos-
tiers this monopoly. A very impor-
tant question for the people to con-
slider is, whether this law ought not
to be repealed. 1t is certainly cost
ing them good deal of money. If
there were no such law many more
insurance companies would do bust
ness in the state, and competition
would bring down the rates.
The cotton planters complain of
the bagging trust, because it has in
creased so greatly the prices of bag
ging. Why should they not also
complain of the insurance associa-
ton which has advanced the rates
of insurance?
1t is claimed for the law requir-
ing a deposit of $4,000 before an
insurance company can do business
in the state, that it protects the peo-
pie against wild cat insusance COM
panies. Admitting that it does, is
not protection secured at too great
a cost?
AS general thing the people
have no difficulty in determining
whether a company is solvent and
strong before insuring in it. A few
might be led into insuring in unre-
liable companies by the offer of ex
traordinarily cheap rates, but the
great majority would satisfy them
selves as to the standing of COM
pany before seeking policies in it.
The next legislature should look
into this insurance question, and
make a very thorough investigation
Of the question whether it would
not be advisable to repeal the law
requiring deposit of $4,000. This
city is especially interested in hav-
ing such an investigation. If the
result should be against the law,
there ought to be no unnecessary
delay In repeating the law"

SUPPORTING L0CAL PAPERS.

The people of Radford will look
in the direction of advertising the
town. They will even attempt to
cripple their town paper by patron
izing Offices OF other towns with
their job work and so forth. Still
everyone expects the Democrat to
boom Radford for all it's worth
Radford (Va.) Democrat.
We have seen many cases of this
kind, and some business men seem
to be incapable of approaching the
fact that every good local paper does
its town ten times as much good as
it is ever paid for. Men having
large interests in a town and deeply
concerned as to its progress often
try tosee how little they can do for
the# own local papers. The pa
pefS of the South are to-day doing
far more for the good of their coun-
try than they receive credit for.
Day after day and week after week
they are telling of its advantages Of
soil, Climate and minerals and of its
progress. The facts which they give
are widely published in other pa
pers, and thus the good work is car
ried far beyond their immediate
circle of readers. The 'Manutac-
turers' Record has often noted with
admirat lion the great work that
Southern papers are doing, and re-
GREETED to see how poorly in many
cases they are supported by the

son has no encouragement to offer
on the prospect of forming such an
agreement as that mentioned. In
substance, the report is to the effect
that he found European governments
in no attitude at all toward the ques-
ton. because they are neither con-
sidering it, nor disposed to consider.
He says that as long as the present
coinage of the silver dollar of the
United Stat is continued, no propo-
sition for bi-metallic treaty for the
full legal tender of silver coin can
be entertained by European States,
since they will not consider, under
any circumstances, a proposition for
the recoinage of their own silver in
order to adjust it to the standard of
the United States. There is, there
fore, an end, at present, to the hope
of the establishment of a common
legal tender system for the whole
commercial world.

Daniel Manning, the able secreta-
ry of the treasury during the past
half of the present administration,
died at Albany on the 24th. Mr..
Manning was an astute politician
and a sagacious financier, but the
claim that he was the equal of Ham
ilton, Gailatin or Chase is mere
edlogium. He was a self -made man,
however, and began his career as a
printer. He successfully served as
foreman, reporter, editor, banker,
and politician. He was SO years of
age and died, some say of overwork,
and others of malarial poisoning in
the treasury department. He was
Mr. Cleyeland's right hand man and
will be sadly missed in the next can

Bull Run and past the stone house
where Pope had his headquarters in
the battle of 90, and with the after
noon we'll spent we are on the plains
of Manassas, the ground of two i'm
portant battles; the one famous as
being the first considerable engage
ment of the war the other famous
as having been given away by jeal-
Gus, recreant officer when a great
victory was within our grasp.
But the shades of night are fast
coming on and the inspection of this
field must be left to some other
time for our driver can spare no
further time and give US our CON
nection at Manassas Junction ac-
cordingly we turn down the Sudley
Springs road straight to that point,
which we reach at $50 p. M, and
find thrifty village, where there was
absolutely nothing after Jackson
burnt the station in the Pope
campaign.
The 10Th regiment was familiar
with this point, having passed it sew
eral times, once by rail to Rhappa-
hammock Station to support Stone
mans cavalry which came out at this
point from their great raid in connec-
ton with the battle of Chancellors-
vile and the return-and later to
Bristoe and Catlett's Stations, falling
back with Bufords' cavalry from Lees |
advance on Gettysburgh: and the |
regiment will not forget the two days |
they lay near this point awaiting or
ders, but they would not now know |
Manassas Junction. 1t has quite the |
air of anew England village with fresh, |
tasty houses and fine churches and |
what was of more consequence to our
party at that hour and after our snow
campaign, spacious, well kept hotel,
where we got a good square meal in
time to take the train for Washington
as we went, the old station
at Union Mills, where the 10th regi-
ment camped at three different times
and from whence it started for Get
tysburgh. But the train did not stop
there being no station there now.
About two miles farther on the con-
ductor called out Clifton place

that he will soon send in another

that congress viii carry out the pres

the whole party is wiser than one

Letter From Florida.

Mr.. EdtOr,-1 our correspondent
left Barton Monday morning and
reached New York in season to take
the excursion train for Florida Tues
day morning at 8 O'Clock. Our train
was made up of five parlor cars, one
baggage car and an observation car,
the passengers (about one hundred in
number) having the exclusive use of
this last car, which made the journey
very pleasant and interesting.
A short ride through the little state
of New Jersey, and we were whirled
into the Getty of Brotherly Love"
through Paramount Park, over the
tops of houses to the magnificent de-
pot where we stopped just long
enough to take breath, and were soon
on our way again through the most
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia, with battle
fields pointed out to us on either side.
The lannon's Shenandoah Valley, we
have read so much about is a land of
scenic beauty, with its Hotel Roa-
noke that commands a fine view of
the surrounding country; and Luray
Inn, near the cavern of Luray, is an
inn after eye olden days, with
quaint stairways and freplaces as
they must have been in our grand
fathers days, when they powdered
their wigs and wore knee breaches.
All aboard once more, we find our
selves whirling through this romantic
valley, with the high peaks of the
Offers on one side and the Allegha-
mics on the other. On we go through
this valley of ''milk and honey to the
cotton fields of old Tennessee and
Georgia, passing through Atlanta and
Macon, the two most fourishing cit
les in all the South at this time. At
lanta as manufacturing city will
compare we'll with the cities of New
England. This was the great manu-
featuring point in the days of the Re-
bellion, where vast supplies for the
Confederate army were made. There
are many points of interest along the
route that | have not time nor knowl-
edge to write up. The next place
of interest was that part of southern
Georgia and northern Florida where
the turpentine farms are situated.
This section is covered with what is
known as Georgia or yellow pine, and
the manufacture of turpentine, resin
in the South. The jewellers of this
piney section are independent and
happy. From the yellow pine they
build their houses and fences, make
their rude furniture, carts and other
farming implements. The pitch
knots serve in place of gas, kerosene
and coal, as they furnish both light
and fuel. The timber is valuable for
railroad purposes and lumber, The
products of these trees can be readily
exchanged for the necessaries and
luxuries of life. The state convicts
are now employed on some of these
farms, much to their disgust, it is
said, as they prefer working on rail-
roads as they have for several years
past. The extraction of turpentine
from pine trees does not damage
them for lumber, and large saw-mills
are usually located upon or near
these farms. There is one near Way-
cross, known as the Reppard mill,
said to be the best and largest in the
South. 1t is now cutting out over
one hundred thousand feet per day,
and it is estimated that within IA
dius of twenty miles there is pine tim
Der enough to supply 1t for fifty years.
