THE BISMARCK DYNASTY.
The German ChancclIor's Reign Sc
vcrely Commented Upon.

Tho Contemporary Review has a
long anonymous article on "The Bis
marck Dynasty" in which Disagree
able attack is made on the methods OF
the Chancellor, and Count Herbert
was given a very severe scoring. His
youthful brawls, intrigues with women,
ETC.. are gone over and commented on.
The article affects to dismiss as I'M
called for the insinuation that Prince
Bismarck wished for the death OF
Emperor Frederick, but lays stress on
the fact that the idea that his ascend
eney might be replaced by Empress
Frederick was a nightmare TO the
Chancellor He furthermore knew
from Frederick's refusal to discuss
State matters with Herbert that the
latter would never succeed his father.
Who could, therefore. be surprised,
asks the writer, had Bismarck wished
tho cancer to make haste? The article
also severely criticises the present
Emperor and calls him an apt pupil OF
a cynical master in u manner after
Herberts own heart. The article is
generally attributed TO Sir Morrell
Mackenzie, and it is supposed to have
been inspired by Empress Frederick.

Unmindful that their feet are placed

Railroad Wars.

Washington dispatch: Tho inter
state commerce .mmission has promul-
gated an opinion on the subject OF pas
senger tariffs aud rate wars, prepared
by Judge Cooley. The paper narrates
the facts attending the war in passenger
rates at st. Louis in October, and also
the circumstances of the passenger rate
war which prevailed at Chicago in De-
cember, both of which were investi-
gated by the commission. 1t is RECON-
mended that the Interstate commerce
act be amended so as to define what
shall be considered excursion and COM
mutation tickets; to prohibit all pay
ment OF commissions on the sale OF
tickets, and all sale of tickets for inter
state business except by regular agents
of carriers; and to require carriers to
provide for the speedy and convenient
redemption of unused tickets or cou-
pons. The previous recommendation
in respect to amendments relating to
joint tariff and notice Of reduction OF
rates are renewed.
IT is stated that the Union Pacific has
already taken the initiative steps in the
matter of cutting down the nunbsf. u
zen employed in the shops ut Omaha,
and work that has formerly been done
by Omaha laborers is now being execc-
tea at tile Pullman shops in Illinois.

MadstOnes.

The Oregonian of Monday, this
week, has an article about mad
stone which DR.. E. F. Jones Of Port
land told 1t he had seen in Indiana
and regards the thing as fabulous.
Where has the Oregonian writer
lived never to have heard or known
more about such stones? They are
by no means so very rare. They
have been in use for ages. The better
opinion seems to be that they are
found in the stomach or intestines
of deer and some other animals,
being an abnormal growth. The
possessors in our knowledge refuse
to apply them to persons laboring
under canine rabies, but use them as
preventives. 1t is certain that the
stones adhere to the wounds said to
have been inflicted by mad dogs,
and that after time the stones drop
from the wound. Then they are
soaked in warm milk till the poison
GUS matter is absorbed by the milk,
and are then re-applied and the pro-
cess is repeated until the stones no
longer adhere to the wounds. There
is one in Andrew county, Missouri,
which has been used in hundreds of
cases. John Nelson is the owner.
People come hundreds of miles even
to use this maidstone. And from all
the region around persons bitten by
dogs said to oe mad hasten to the
owner of the maidstone there. AS it
is said by most authorities that only
about one person in ten or twelve
will go mad if bitten by mad dog it
is hard to tell whether the stone is
as efficient preventive as is claim
ed. 1t is however confidently affirm
ed by all the neighbors of this stone
owner, that never in a single case
has the stone failed when applica-
ton was made within a few days
after the bite. Physicians of the
greatest rcspectability in the coun-
ties around send patients who have
been bitten to try this stone. There
are people who will not believe any
thing unless they know it of their
own knowledge. There are people
who even deny there is such thing
as hydrophobia as did the famous
DIR. Butler of New York City, who
all his life denied the existence of
any such disease, published book
to oprove his negotlon and finally died
of hydrophobia most horribly from
a bite by spitz terrier that never
any sign of disease.
