Hydrophobia is in order again in
New York and generally comes frcm the
bite of Spitz dogs. A correspondent of
the Herald says that the Sp1tz inherits
this poison from his ancestor, the wolf.
Another man says this is nonsense be-
cause no one ever heard of a man dying
of hydrophobia from the bite of wolf
Our idea is that men who are bitten by
wolves don't live long enough for the
hydrophobia to break out on them.
The bite is enough without any subse-
quent disease.

Persons who have given the sub
ject careful consideration, have fore
sight enough to see that unless
something is done to open up to
Seattle the vast resources of the ex-
tensive region east of the Cascade
mountains, she can never become a
city of any extraordinary size or
commercial importance. For mas

extent Of farming country about us,
and are not liable to have much for
many years to come. Well, then,
knowing these facts, it behooves us
to look around us and see how we
can better our condition. The in
habitants of the vast region of coun-
try east of the mountains, want an
outlet to tide water and Seattle is
the nearest point-a distance in an
air line of probably not more than
$50 miles from the heart Of that Sec

years before they can expect to have

1t is absolutely necessary for our
future welfare that we should speed

the only available method that sug-

of a wagon road over the mountains

in frightful condition, and is i'm
passable for man or beast. 1t cer-
tainly seems to us, from what we

That the cost of construction of such

direct benefit to accrue, it would
hardly be worth considering. See

After considerable hagglingon the
part Of Senators Morton. Mitchell.
Sargent and other Radical freedom
shriekers, they have permitted Sena-
tor Grover to take his seat as Sena-
tor from Oregon, subject to certain
documents that are to be submitted
to the Committee on Elections and
Privileges. When we reflect over
the way in which Senator Mitchell
secured the friendship of Onstien,
from Baker; and how the devoted
friendship of Webster, from Coos,
was alienated away from Corbett,

A worthy wife of forty years standing,


ind whose life was not made up of sun
shine and peace, gave the following SEN
sible and impressive advice to married
pair of her acquaintance. The advice is
so good and well suited to all married
people, as well as those entering that
state, that we here publish it for the
benefit of such persons.


Preserve sacredly the privacies of your
own house, your married state, and your
heart. Let no father or mother, or sis
ter OF brother, ever presume to come be-
tween you, or to share the joys or sor-
rows that belong to you two alone. With
Gods help build your quiet world, not
allowing your dearest earthly friend to
be the confdant of aught that concerns
your domestic peace. Let moments Of
alienation, if they occur, be healed at
once. Never, no, never speak of it
outside, but to each other confess, and
all will come out right Never let the
morrow's sun still find you at variance.
Renew and renew your vow; it will do
you good, and thereby your souls will
grow together, contented in that love
which is stronger than death, and you
will become truly one.

A small quantity of either sulphate OF
iron, tannin, or chlorate of potash, put
dry upon the tongue, and allowed to dis
solve there, once in every hour, have
all been found to be most efficient reme-
dies in the early stages of diphtheria.
This terrible disease appears under three
varieties OF forms: First-There is a
fever, severe pains in the back, bones
and limbs, and very great prostration.
There may be no soreness of the throat,
but, on examining it, small white specks
will be noticed on the tonsils, but few or
none on the rest of the throat. These
cases will recover under any and every
variety of treatment i'll four to six days.


The great, but false, reputation of many
remedies and physicians is based upon
the necessarily favorable results of these
cases. Second-Large patches of false
membrane will be noticed both on the
tonsils and back of the throat; but the
glands of the neck do not become swol-
len. The majority of these cases will
also recover under very simple treat
ment, unless the disease extends down to
the windpipe, which it rarely does.
Third-True malignant diphtheria, with
swelling of the glands of the neck and
under the jaw; profuse and often Often
sive exudations in the mouth and throat !;
more or less discharge from the nostrils.
Chlorate Of potash is disinfectant MS
well as curative remedy, and, if given
pure and dry upon the tongue, every
hour, night and day, will rarely disap-
point the practitioner. A small dose
every night may act as preventive
remedy. Sometimes tannin may be
given more readily than the chlorate of
potash. The sulphate of iron is rather
more irritant, and must be given i'll
smaller quantities. The main points in
the Use of these remedies are to give
them dry upon the tongue, and frequent
ly and regularly, both by night and day.

The movement inaugurated in
Shreveport few weeks ago looking to
the encouragement Of immigration to
North Louisiana seems 70 have been
fully approved and indorsed through
out that portion Of the State. After or
panizing and roughly sketching the
plan OF operations to be pursued, the
meeting in Shreveport adjourned to
meet again October 10, and the neigh
boring parishes were invited to send
delegates to grand emigration mass
meeting or convention to be held In
Shreveport on that day. This invita-
ton has been accepted by every parish
OF North Louisiana. Claiborne, Web
ster and Richland have already held
large and enthusiastic meetings at
which immigration was discussed and
delegates, leading citizens OF the par
ish, selected to represent each parish at
the Shreveport meeting. The character
of the men selected and the energy and
determination shown by the people ol
North Louisiana in this matter leave
little doubt that they will solve this
great question and find some better way
OF bringing immigrants here than
weekly newspaper articles on the ad
vantages Of Louisiana, though our jour
mails can greatly aid the good work by
keeping the great riches Of our soil and
the salubrity Of our climate before the
country. The people have but to start
this immigration to turn the tide thi
way; the soil and fertility of Louisi
ana will do the rest.

Sooner than was expected the telephone
has been applied to actual business pur-
poses, and is now advertised for all who
may choose to buy. Professor Bell has
made business arrangements with Mr.. Gar
diner G. Hubbard and his well-known
assistant in public telephone exhibitions,
professor Thomas A. Watson), who repre-
sent the proprietors Of the patents on
the telephone n this country and Great
Britain, and they will Immediately enter
upon the construction OF telephone lines.
But at the outset they do not undertake to
construct any Of more than twenty miles in
length, doubtless because they are not sure
OF the success OF the invention at greater
distance in its present condition. A differ
ence is made between the cost OF two tele-
phones for social use and two for business,
the former being furnished by the lessons for
twenty dollars year and the latter for forty
dollars, the lessees being free from all charges
for construction and maintenance, except in
cases Of accidents from great careless
ness. The capacity Of the invention
permits several instruments on the
same line, but of course it will be
the preference OF all who employ them
for social and business purposes to have
only two All who have attended the pub
lie exhibitions OF Professor Bell, or have
followed the explanations Of the invention,
know Of its wonderful promise Of practical
results. The Imagination has fine field in
picturlng the future conversations between
persons miles apart, and it is now certain
that the lveliest imagination will hardly
overdo the reality within possible distances.
There are yet improvements to be made to
secure perfect transmission in wet weather,
and to attain greater distinctness; but the
fact nevertheless remains that wonderful
possibilities are already revealed.
