Gen. Grant has furnished the politicians who
were bursting with anxiety to know what lie
meant to do another crumb OF comfort. lie
has informed them, as we are ad-
vised. that he intends to appoint
Mr.. Columbus Delano Commissioners OF
Internal Revenue. This gentleman is now a
member of Congress from Ohio. has once or
twice been a candidate for United States Sen
ator, and has long been reckoned sound
strong Republican of slightly Conservative ten
dencies and unquestioned ability. In Congress he
has been found on the side of retrenchment
and reform; his personal integrity is high
above possibility of suspicion; and he has for
some months been talked of in connection
with the Office to which it is now announced
that he is to be appointed. He is not a mem
Der of the next House.

If person is bitten by a mad dog
what should be done This is an i'm.
portant question, yet one that is easily
answered.


Statistics show that large msiori
ty Of persons bitten would never have
| IhydrophObia if nothing was done tc
prevent it; yet many die from this ter.
rible disease, Happily there is a sure
preventative.


The poison from the bite of the rat
tie snake is absorbed at once, and the
system becomes affected Immediately.


Not so with the bite Of ribbid dog.
The poison remains in the wound a
length of time, seldom less than twen-
ty days, before the system is in the
least affected by it. 'saa1oi .r.


The remedy is simple and certain;
all that need be done is to remove the
poison from the wound. When should
this be done The sooner after reeeiv-
ing the wound the better. How is it
to be dohel Best with the knife; cut
ting away enough to make it sure all
the poison is removed, then wash the
wound and let it heal sa


If the locality or character of the
wound is such that it cannot be excised,
caustic should be applied sufficient to
destroy all the poison. Mr.. Gouatt was
bitten seven times himself, and has
used the caustic in more than four
hundred cases, and not one had
hydrophobia. At St Georges Hos
pital about four thousand persons bitten
BY dogs submitted to the operation Of
exeision and not one was known to
have been lost No medicine need be
taken. All the medicines advertised
to prevent or cure, hydrophobia are a
humbug; and persons claiming the
skill to prevent or cure this disease by
giving medicine, are impostors, and the
people ought not to be deceived by |

MEETING OF THE SENATE AND THE CORPS


LEGIsLATIF-sPEECH OF THE EMPEROR.


PARIS. Jan. 1s.-The Senate and Corps Legislatif
assembled to-day. The session was opened by the
Emperor in person. with speech from the throne.
He said the task before the Legislature serious
one, viz: to conduct Government strong enough to
repress the excesses while accepting all the benefits
of liberty. The laws making concessions to the
press and granting the right OF public meeting had
had the effect of preserving public order. and the
fact that the recent elections resulted in favor Of the
Government, confirmed the justice and wisdom of
these concessions. The laws providing for
military reorganization had given strength
and confidence TO the nation. which was
now ready TO meet all events of the
future The armament Of the forces was perfect,
the arsenals were filled with supplies the reserves
were well drilled, and the reorganization Of the
National Guard approached cOmpleton the fleets
had been rccreated, and the Notifications at all
important points were in good condition. The I'M
perial wish was realized. France was so placed as
TO vndcate her status the destlnies OF the world
Peace had been heretofore sought. not because OF
weakness, but to sustain the honor Of the State.
The revolution in Spain had not altered the
good relations Of France with that country.
The Conference, which had just terminated its
sessions, and which would extinguish conflict
which had become imminent. the last grand act,
the Importance of which all should appreciate. The
members of that body had all agreed OH principle
calculated to restore friendship between the Turks
and Greeks If the firm hopes Of success which they
entertained should be realized nothing woud be left
to trouble the general harmony of the nations The
Chambers would attend to the internal development
of the country mainly through its agricultural IN
teress and might possibly seek to bring about re-
duotion in the public charges. The Emperor referred
TO the approaching reelection of the Corps Legslaf
congratulated the members on the harmony
which existed between the throne, the Legis-
lature, and the people. and declared hc
favored full and free discussion when it did not
touch the Constitution; that instrument was above
all debate and he exalted the benefits which 1t had
conferred upon the country The Emperor concluded
as follows: "All Governments are liable to error

country knows no thought no act Of mine which has
moi been given to the glory of France. II knows that

must follow and win repeat its rejection of revolu-
tons and its desire TO found the destnes Of France

We have already published the Emperor's
brief address TO the Diplomatic Corps on Years
Day. To the ngratuations of the Deputies His
Majesty replied:

To the members Of the Court Of Cessation the Emperor

He loved me-only . She loved her chair,

Peep first, like baby grass, from out the clod!

With tears that may not be shed, ~

As he looks at each gold and silver toy,
And thinks how it gladdeued the royal boy;
And dumbly writhe while the courtiers read
How all the nations his SORROW heed.

And to-day the wind blows it back;
There are two sitting there who do not speak
They have begged few rags of black.
They are hard at work, though thoir eyes arc
With tears that may not be shed;
They dare not look where the cradle is set,
They hate the sunbeam that plays on the floor,
But makes the baby laugh out no more;
They feel as if they were turning to stone;
They wish the neighbors would leave them

a NEW METHODIST CHURCH IN SMYRNA
AR. Ed't0r:-Wc understand that there is
movement on foot to build another Methodist
Church III Smyrna, the work to commence af-
ter Conference. We shall hail this with 10y
as the right movement at the right time. Our
population Is suffering greatly for the want of
church accommodation. We have three church
es IN the town, which will seat about one thous-
and persons, while we have about three thous-
and who should find church accommodation
within the town. And another reason is that
the Methodist Church must divide her forces
before she can prosper. We think herrecords
Will show that she has not gained peg in
the last ten or fifteen years. 'Tis true. she
has had big revivals and made large additions
to her record Of members but what she has
gained at one time she has lost at another
Fifteen years ago she had about five hundred
members; and she has no more now. Weap.
prove the plan which has been spoken of for
the New Church. viz that it shall be erected
by the Circuit for the following reasons: First,
the Circuit can supply another preaching an,
polntment; Secondly, their Pastor lives in the
town and should have society around him
We hope that the town people will contribute
to the enterprise and push it along, paw their
money and goOdly number of them ioin them
selves to the new Church. Yours,
