TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

The owner of a valuable dog, in this
state, was bitten by the animal, and
with view to protecting himself against
future accidents he wrote to nj. Pasteur,
at Paris, France, as to what course OF
treatment he should pursue. New ears
day the French scientist answered his
American correspondent. and in his let
Ter said: "Ihe accident that has hap
pened to you does not present any gray
ity whatever if the dog that bit you is
in good hea til. L he bite of an animal,
which is not mad, has 10 gravity what
ever. and YOU have nothing to fear II
the dog was living eight days after the
accident" This theory will explode
one that has existed for ageS-that
perSod bitten by dog, whether mad OF
not. was liable to suffer the agonies OF
hydrophobia il the animal should sub
sequentIy become afflicted with rabies.
Two Indians, buck and squaw. of
the Chippewa tribe. Strolied INTO the
Ryan rotunda last evening as the guests
were coming down from dinner, and
proceeded 10 make themselves cOmfOrta-
bic and the cynoSure Of all eyes. A red
cotton handkerchief covered the head of
the brave and dirty blanket was
gathered about his Stalwart form, while
buckskin leggingS tightly wound with
rope, and moccaSinS deliberately EN-
broidered and beaded computed his
makeup. Fire water had been INDUCED
in pretty freely. and timid female,
mutfied in coarse shawl and wearing
plain moccaSinS, kept lookout tor her
lad and master lest he might tranSgress
the bounds of propriety. Apparently
ObliviOuS of the sensation they were
creating. the pair Sauntered lelSurely
about the rotunda, followed by gaping
crowd of curious spectators, but the
only effect they had was TO cause the
heads of the procession to draw their
wraps more closely about them. The
marble floor seemed to have particular
fascination for the male Indian, and he
was evidently at a loss to explain its
iirmnesS to his companion as he en-
deavored to force first heel and then
toe into the smooth surface. Finally he
gave up in disgust and after q careful
examination of the apartments on the
first floor. not forgetting the bar. the
strange guests departed as silently as
they came. Passing the cigar stand
where party of gentlemen, Including
Frank Mordaunt, the well-known actor,
were standing, some one remarked:
'I.o. the poor Indians" Il do sim
cerely." replied Mr.. Mordaunt, and the
emphatic manner in which this was ut
tered, provoked hearty laugh from the
byStanderS.

"How much smoke little fire kim
dleth." said Col. A. T. Rockwell, as he
scanned an article in which he was rep
resented as saying he was present at a
reception when Mrs. Blaine snubbed
Mis-. Harrison. Il have made it point
not to answer newspaper attacks upon
me, and have only deviated from The
custom twice in my career. The first
time was when l was charged with
framing the celebrated Frozen Truth
dispatch, giving the inside history of
the Conkling Blaine unpleasantness,
and now. | am again mixed up with q
stab at Mrs. Blaine. AS matter OF fact
never stated, directly or indirectly,
that witnessed any act of discourtesy
by Mrs. Blaine toward the wife of the
presIdent-elect, and | cannot conceive
who would imFute such story to me.
| have sent denial of the statement to
the leading papers in the East, and their
proprietorS have given me the benefit of
their columns to nip the falsehood IN
the bud.
