days insirid and unihtsrsstins in comparison with
the good old timeL-Gdl'snan.s Ass.en9sr.
What a stupid old chap this BULAN must
have been! Why times were never llvelier
than they are in those closing years OF the
nineteenth century. We are turning this old
world upside down. We are making new
world out OF 1t. with new heavens overhead.
We are Transforming things We are
getting up all sorts of novelties for the
benefit OF mankind. Look at these thinkers.
these scientists. these inventors. these mech
anicians. and what they are doing. They
have raised our wonder so often by what they
have done that we are kept wondering what
they will do next Look how they are enlight-
ening and enrlchlng and identifying the
world. Why. IL they keep on. we will all have
splendid times yet
Wo are knocking out the old tyrsnts and
humbugs who have always sat SO heavily upon
the world. We are driving back tho old butch
ers who thought OF nothing but gore. We are
getting rid Of the devil as fast as We can-down
with him!
People are far happier now than people were
in old times. They are better of than they
used to be They know moro than they did.
They are botter clothed and fed They
have moro freedom than their ancestors
had. There are far moro sources OF enjoy
ment now than there we're in past ages. In fact,
this Is the very best age Of tho world that man
kind ever saw since the creation.
A hundred years ago. whom BuLAN. the old
Russian who has Just committed suicide. was
boy OF six. his country was under tho severe
rule ofCATHERINE H.. and dolorous country
it was. When BULAN was young man Of
twenty-one. ALEXANDER !. sat on his endan-
Cered throne. and NAPOLEON was engaged In
furnishing Russia. which was forced to sue
cumb at Tilsit. When BULAN was man Of
forty. NICHOLAS I. had begun his reign Of
thirty years. during all Of which there were
conspiracies and wars without surcease. Thus
things went on in Russia during the greater
part OF BULAN's long life. the masses OF the
people being poor. ignorant, and enslaved.
while the able-bodied men were kept fighting
the Persians. tho Turks. the Poles, the HungR-
rans. the Fronch. English. Italians. and
domestic rebels.
1t was not until BuLAN had become . very
old man. and Russia had undergone great
changes. and tho serfs had been enamel pat ed.
and q long period OF peace had set In. that
no began to find life "insipld and unin-
teresting." He saw at last, when he was log
years Of age. that tho good old times had gone.
and so he committed suicide.
BULAN ought to have como to this country
when life became lntolerabls In Russia Had
no done SO. and read THE SUN every day. In
Guiding Sunday. he would certainly not have
complained OF tho insipidty or uninteresting-
ness OF life. What entertainment no would
have got, for example, from our reports OF the
Minneapolis and Chicago Conventions. while
waiting for the opening OF the Omaha Conven.

1.-THE true power Of lawyer lies In his
ability to make clear statement" according
to Mr. DANIEL WEDsrER. who himself pos
sessed that ability. The remark may properly
be applied to others besides lawyers. It may
be applied. for example. to writer's. tho writers
OF books and writer's for magazines and jour
nails. The ability 10 make clear statement Is
not possessed by all writer's and the fact is to
be regretted. WEBsTER's remark may also
properly he applied to public speaker many
OF whom are incarable OF making a clear
statement. and hence lack the true power OF
oratory. 1t may likewise be applied to preach
ers. very many OF whom do not even attem pt
to cultivate tho power OF clear stateme emit
This Is to be regretted. We are disposed to
entertain the opinion that, OF all kinds OF
thinkers. 1t Is the men Of science who possess,
in the highest degree. tho ability OF making
clear statements; and there are reasons why
this should be SO. But even some OF these
mon offer us very muddled statements. that
obfuscate the mind.
DR.. AUSTIN ABBOTT. tho Dean OF tho New
York University Law School. recently quoted
Mr.. WEBsTERs remark. and made common
upon (which may look very commonplace. but
which Ia in reality profound. Here It Is: Clear
statement Is the result Of clear thinking"
We therefore say to all book writer's and
newspaper writer's. to all preachers and pro-
fessors. to all stump speakers and lecturers.
to all lawyers and Judges. and to everybody
else. both women and men: Learn to think
clearly. SO that you may be able to make clear
statements for our instruction and entertain
ment.

Remedy for Hydrophobiss

The following clipping, from the Rich
mond Whig of October 10, 1871. kindly
handed to the DISPATCH by q gentleman
who has carefully preserved it, will be
read with interest just at this time. when
so much is heard about the killing OF mad
dogs aud how to treat persons bitten by
them:
Mr.. f. S. Tutwiler, of Lexington, Va,
has communicated to us for publication
81 receipt for the cure of hydrophobia."
which, he says, has been tested and proved
TO be a sovereign remedy. The mode OF
treatment referred to by our correspondent
was published years ago in the Sotahslde
Democrat, and is explained in the following
extract from that paper, sent to Us by Alr.
TutwIler:
"A SCI Yant boy was seized by mad-dog,
which bit him in dozen places, intlictlrg
CHASTITY wounds. An eminent physician
being sent for had the wounds washed
with CASTLE soap and plaster OF mercuriai
ointment applied TO each wound. Caiomel
pills were administered in the interim,
causing sallrdiiOn. The boy recovered and
was living few years ago, never having
manifested the slightest symptoms OF
hydrophobia. A horse and two cows,
known to have been bitten by the same
dog the ensuing day, went mad and died."
