bass rolled down into the cellar,

In reply to G.. w. c., p, 168, / can
give some facts which may be ofuse to
somebody, thereby saving life. The
time between the biting of an animal
by a mad dog and showing signs of
hydrophobia is not less than nine
DAYS, but may be nine months. After
the animal has become rabid, bite or
scratch with his teeth upon person,
or slabber coming in contact with a
sore or raw place, would produce
hydrophobia just as soon as though he
had been bitten by mad dog. Hy-
drophobia can be prevented, and L
will give what is well known to be an
infalIible remedy, if properly admin
istered, for man or beast. A dose for
a horse or cow should be about four
times as great as for person. 1t is
not too late to give the medicine any
time before the spasms come on.


The first dose for a person, is one
and half ounces elecampane root,
bruised, put in pint of new milk, re-
duced to one-half by boiling, then ta-
ken all at one dose in the morning,
fasting until after noon, or at least a
very light diet after several hours have
elapsed. The second dose the same as
llISI, ldhC WV OhiSNS VA S-AS
root third dose as same as last, to be
taken every other day. Three doses
are all that is needed, and there need
be no fear. This know from my
own experience. and know of a num-
Der of other cases where it has been
entirely successful. This is no guess
work. These persons allude to were
bitten by their own dogs, that had
been bitten by rabid dogs, and were
penned up to see if they would go
mad; they did go mad, and did bite
the person. This remedy has been
used in and about Philadelphia for
forty years and longer with great sue
cess, and is known as the Goodman
remedy. / am acquainted with a
physician who told me he knew of its
use for more than thirty years, but
never knew a case that failed where it
was properly administered. Among
other cases he mentioned was one
where q number of cows had been Bit
ten by mad dog. To half of the num-
ber they administered this remedy, to
the other half not. The latter all died
with hydrophobia, while those that
took the elecampane and milk showed
no signs of that disease,-R. c, Shoe

blessings may be secured and perpetuated by

The Greeley papers comment with
great severity on the Grant speech OF
Voorhees,. One of them says He
was evidently under the impression that
he was exploding a mine which would
demolish the Cincinnati ticket. Instead
Of doing this he has blown himself sky
high. In all parts of the country the
Democratic journals contain the most
singing criticisms on the conceit and
self-assumption of the gentleman from
Indiana, whose pretensions to leader
ship meet with only ridicule and con-
tempt. If Mr.. Voorhees, supposed he
would gain popularity in the South by
the stand he took, he is by this time
doubtless undeceived."

The strike OF the boiler makers in the Grant,
Rogers and Danforth locomotive shops, and the
Todd Rafferty, machine shop in Paterson, has re-
suited In state OF affairs calculated to do intense
injury to the city, Refusing to resume work at the
old prices, the boiler makers were notified that the
locomotive shops would be closed in all their
departments This was at first thought to
be threat, but the closing OF the doors
and the posting of notices to the eTCt that opera
tions in all three locomotive shops would be sus-
pended until further orders, notified the men that
their employers were in earnest, and that they had
combined in a counterstrike in opposition to the
demands of the men. Although only GOO boiler
makers struck the closing Of the shops throws
over three thousand men out of work, and is a
loss to the city In general OF $1,000 day,
which was The amount OF wages which these shops
paid out daily and which is thus kept from the
storekeepers and others with whom the men spent
their money. IL Is estimated that the families of
the three thousand men out Of work will aggregate
total of fifteen thousand persons who are thus
made the sufferers.


There is of course, great deal OF Indignation that
''the innocent should suffer with the guilty." and SO
many men be thrown out of work who had nothing
to do with the strike. But each department in the
locomotive business Is dependent upon another,
and the suspension of the boiler shop made it
sary to shut down the other departments in conse-
quencc.


The employers say that work will not be re-
sumed until the men decide to return to
work on the old basis, while the
stT1kerS declare tney Will uRnt III out
on this line fit takes all summer An increase OF
thirty cents day was offered by some OF the shops
on the start but that having been refused the offer
was withdrawn.


There is no probability OF the strike being ended
until after the Fourth. II Is only question Of how
long the men can hold out. There is likely TO be
good deal OF suffering, not only among the men
themselves, but in all classes Of business. for the
locomotive shops were fund Of trade for all Pater-
son.


The strikers deprecate all ideas Of violence,
whatever may happen, and say that unless their
demands are complied with soon they will leave
Paterson and look for work elsewhere II is, on
the whole, the most unfortunate thing that ever
occurred in that city, and hard times will be the

ing thousands Of coal miners Gov
cred with SCOT, was fastidious in
the minutest detail of dress and
furniture. Anything out of order
in his clothing or out of place in
his room gave him intense annoy

if the table cloth was spread uneven,
nor sleep in quiet if an article of
