Franklin Dyre, highly respect
able and intelligent farmer of Gal
ena, Kent County, Nd, gives the
following as sure cure for the bite
of a mad dog. As will be seen, he
has tested it with the most crafty
ing results:


Elecampane is plant well known
to most persons, and is to be found
in many of our gardens. Immedi-
ately after being bitten, take one
and a half ounce of the root of the
plant-the green root is perhaps
preferable, but the dried will answer
and may be found in our drug
stores, and was used by me-slice
or bruise, put it into pint of fresh
milk, boil down to half pint, strain,
and when cold drink it, fasting at
least six hours afterward. The next
morning, fasting, repeat the dose
prepared as the last, and this will
be sufficient. 1t is recommended
that after each dose nothing be
eaten for at least six hours.


have a son who was bitten by a
mad dog eighteen years ago, and
four other children in the neighbor-
hood were also bitten; they took the
above dose, and are alive and we'll to
this day. And 1 have known a
number of others who were bitten
and applied the same remedy. 1t is
supposed that the root contains a
principle which, being taken up by
the blood in its circulation, coun-
teracts or neutralizes the deadly eff
fects of the virus of hydrophobia.

simple remedy that I am willing you
should give my name in connection

Come, boys, and listen a few mo-


ments to your uncle. You have


now arrived at an age when you
must begin to think about doing
something for yourselves. The
first piece of advice 1 have for you
is to do everything well, which you
undertake. There is but little dan
ger of your being too particular in
this respect. A boy who is careful
to draw a straight line on his slate,
will be very likely to make a
straight line through life. There is
no position in life in which you will
not be called upon to act as exact
as possible. Step into a jewelers.
shop, and see how careful the work
man must be in finishing up the ar
ticle he holds in his hands. Visit
the shipyard, and the man with the
broad-ax must learn to hew on
line, or be dismissed. You think
of being a clerk. Well, remember,
that a mistake there, is little less
than a crime. l never saw a man
who was very particular about his
affairs that was not successful. How
exact is a military officer in the
command of men. A clumsy sailor
will never rise to the command of
ship.


But there is one great danger
which besets many young men at
the present day. 1t is the disposi-
ton to avoid all solid improvement,
and to take up with subjects which
require no thought, and which
serves as mere warfare with godli-
ness. Our portion will be that of
the ungodly. AS the tree falleth,
so shall it lie. We shall reap what |

The following is from the Charles
ton Courier:


"The model husband walks out
with his wife on a week day, and is
not afraid of milliner's shop. He
even has change when asked for it,
and never alludes to it afterward.
He is not above carrying a large
bundle or cotton umbrella, or even
holding the baby in his lap in an
omnibus. He runs on first to knock
at the door when it is raining. He
gets outside if the cab is full. He
goes to bed first in cold weather.
He gets up in the night to rock the
cradle or answer the door bell. He
believes in Mysteries and is mel
ted instantly by tear. He patches
up a quarrel with velvet gown, and
drives away the sulks with trip to
Central Park. He never flies out
about his buttons, nor brings home
friends to supper. His clothes
never smell of tobacco. He respects
the curtains, and never smokes in
the house. He never invades the
kitchen.and would no more think of
blowing up'any Of the servants than
of ordering the dinner. He is inno-
cent of a latch-key. He lets the
family go out of town once every
year, while he remains at home with
one knife and fork, sits on a brown
Holland chair, sleeps on a curtain
less bed, and has a char woman to
wait on him. He is very easy and
affectionate, keeping the wedding
anniversary regularly"

the work will be easy. To choose
between spending and saving is to
choose between poverty and riches. |
Let our youth go on in the habits of
extravaganza for fifty years to come
as they have for twenty years past,
and we shall be nation of beggars

| From the recollections of an ageC
inhabitant of this city, who ha:
passed the allotted time of life, We
have been favored with the follow
ing Renaissance, which may be ia
!. ken as a general representation o.
the festivities at a wedding in oul


grandfathers' days.


i Invitations were freely extended


to allfriends and acquaintance, and


after the marriage took place two


entire days were devoted to feasting


and dancing.


The bridal couple then set out fol


their own home, attended on horse


back by their friends, who, moving


in pairs, made very imposing ap-
pearance.


At the residence of the groom
everything is ready, and with espe-
cial care bottle of choice liquor,
richly decked out with ribbons, has
been prepared and placed upon a
high post at the front gate of the
dwelling.


As the cortege come within one
mile of the house the master of GER
emonies wheels his horse aside and
extends an invitation to all the gen
tlemen present to join in the race
for the bottle, which awaits the win
ner, and gives him the enviable priv
ilege of drinking the health of the
bride on her arrival. The greater
portion of the party accept the in
vitation thus extended, and start off
at full speed for the desired goal
The foremost horseman, on arrival
at the gate, receives from the hands
of the groom's sister the much de-
sired prize, amid the huzzas and
congratulations of all assembled to
welcome the young couple, and
when the cavalcade appears, headed
by the groom and the bride, herides
forward, and as they approach the
gate drinks the health of the bride.


The huzzas and congratulations
now burst out afresh, and amid the
best good feeling all around, the la
dies are invited in the house, the
horses are stabbed, and a siege sets
in, to terminate after two days of
dancing and feasting, and to leave
the newly married couple to con-
tinue life's journey with the most
pleasant recollections.


Modern society claims to have
brought about an improvement on
the above. The appreciation of a
friend is often weighed by the value
of his bridal gift, and he is lucky
to be invited to the public church,
where the marriage ceremony is per-
formed to the infinite enjoyment of
small boys and a curious crowd of
strangers and bare acquaintances.
The couple having been pronounced
man and wife, hurriedly disappear
from view to reappear transformed
with marvellous quickness into every
day people.

The following story is told by 8
correspondent of the London Daily
Ne,Ds:


"a young and thriving merchant
of Saar Louis was to have been
married at Saar Louis to a young
lady from Schleiz on the 18th Of
July. On that morning came the
telegraphic order of mobilization,
The train carried off the bridegroom
quarter of an hour before that
fixed for the marriage. He, like
thousands of other men of an equal
ly good position in life, took his
place as a private in his regiment
the Fortieth Hohenzollerns-and
cheerfully arranged with his bride
that the marriage should take place
as soon as his battalion reached
Saarbruck. He would then go off to
the war and she would return, as
his wife, to her home. The bride
came ON the day named with her
brother to Saarbruck. had the
pleasure Of walking up with them
in the afternoon to watch the battal-
ion in which the bridegroom was
to appear and pass from the high
road into the bivouac field. The
bridegroom, who was there in the
thick of the helmeted stream, ran
from the ranks and kissed his bride
with German fervor. The men
marching past looked at them with
sympathetic admiration, but with
no sign of wonder, much less of
coarse derision. Then the bride
ran on the place he had left, and
then went to an officer and begged
a few hours leave for her bride
groom, that they might be married.
The officer, of course, was only too
glad to listen to such arequest from
the lips of such an applicant, and
escorted the bride to the colonel of
the regiment, from whom leave had
to be obtained. We saw the bride,
with dark eyes more expressive than
ever, and shadow of apprehension
over her broad forehead-not too
German for perfect beauty-repeat-
ing her request to the colonel, and
winning from his lips of discipline
the gentlest answer. The bride
groom was sent off on leave, and
the marriage was fixed to take place
on the following day.

A good Touring mill would be of great ad-

HELD TO ANswER.--A d fficulty occurred at Bald
Hill on Saturday last between A. o. Bell and
man named Raglan about quartz claim. The
particulars of the quarrel we do not know, but
learn that Bell attempted to shoot Raglan with
revolver but was caught by his (Bells) wife and
kept from getting am though the revolver was
discharged four or five times while Raglan was
retreating. Bell then got a Henry rifle and dis
charged it two or three times at Raglan after he
had got away two or three hundred yards, but
without effect Bell has since been arrested and
bound over in 81, 200 bonds to appear before the

MoRE QUARTZ MrLLs.-A ten-stamp quartz
mill passed through Auburn yesterday bound for
Shipley ravine some five miles west of here 1t
was loaded on Mike HoffInan's big teams and
came from Brushy Canyon, near Forest Hi,
where it has been standing idle for some years.
1t is the Mill built by ex-Speaker Sears of Ne

MI McFadden for one-haf of his quart claim
on Shipley ravine where it is to be put up, and
the mill and ledge to be the joint property OF
Sears and McFadden. The mill was known as
the Westchester, at Forest Hill, but the name ii

be run by water power in its new location. We
are informed by Mr. BATHS, who is an owner in
the Shipley ledge, that it is opening finely, and

This will be brilliant day in the record Of
what promises to be one of the most brilliant
dramatic seasons that New York has ever
witnessed, even in her palmiest time. While
manifold attractions Of scenery, costume and
artistic effort are held forth to captvate the
public in the theatres and halls devoted TO
native talent, our great city at the same hour
enjoys the presence Of two most gifted women
trained in the highest hstrionic schools and
on the most celebrated boards of the Old
World-Madame Seebach, whose chosen and
most successful task it is to embody in living,
breathing impersonations the ideals Of the
best dramatic literary genius of Ger
many, as well as of other lands and
of classic and contemporaneous days,
in the language of her own race, and Janau-
schek, who adds to corresponding gifts the
acquisition of the English tongue. The first
of these accomplished artists is the very
dream of grace, purity, gentleness and
womanly emotion that inspired Goethe and
Schiller when their muse interpreted the inno-
cent beauty aud the heartbreaking sorrows OF
Gretchen and of Louisa Miller; the other has
the grandeur and force of form, the com
! manding port, the severe Greek contour that
absolutely realize before US on the stage the
''Medea" and the "Antigone' of the ancient
masters Of dramatic writing. And here we
have them both striving in noble emulation on
the American stage and in the highest walks
of art. What conjunction of intellectual
stars in one fair armament! The splendid
capitals Of Europe may well envy us the for
tune that has rsdoubled our artistic light


while half cclipsing theirs.

STREET CASUALTIES. The community would
be alarmed at reading complete summary Of
the street casualties to which reckless driving
exposes the men, women aud children Of this
metropolis during single year. The knock
ing down and running over of the wife Of
ex Judge Roosevelt on Thursday by hack,
the brutal driver of which whipped up bis
horses and escaped, is but one case in the
multitude of such cases which should excite
popular indignation. Why cannot the laws
which prohibit reckless driving in the city

Jerome Park T0-Uays


This morning maay heart will beat high
with joyous anticipation Of delightful day
to close the sporting pleasures for the autumn
season Of the American Jockey Club. Favored
with enchanting weather at its spring meeting,
that dashing society Of gay and gallant gentle
men has suffered the drawback Of clouded
skies and heavy roads In October. But, judg-
ing hopefully by the bracing coolness and
pure serenity Of the atmosphere at the late

may be found the programme Of the technical
business on hand, and our readers cannot
fail to acknowledge its attractive interest and
variety.


But it is in still another light that we would
for moment consider an occasion which
brings together SO dazzling an array Of the
beauty and fashion, the distinction and refine
ment of the metropolis, and, indeed, Of our
sister States and cities, amid some Of the lowell
est landscapes and pleasantest associations of
the Continent. Jerome Park with us has far
more comprehensive meaning. While 1t yields
to few, If any, similar scenes Of genuine
''sport" in the world, it is looked upon by our
best people as place Of delightful friendly
contact. The rural attractions Of ''Old
Westchester" New York Canaan-the
dashing drives that lead to it; the groves in
their autumnal pomp; the meadows, still ver-
dant and smiling the winding rivers and tho
horizon Of picturesque hills enclosing the
steeped and turreted panorama Of the great
city and its environs, still assert their power
over the gravcst Of us who love to steal
brief respite from study and care, as they do
over the brightest youthful fancies and the
merriest hearts. Happy, healthful influences
spring from this lightsome interchange Of
kindly greetings, this pressure of neighborly
hands, and the stir Of the blood, at once re-
freshed aud warmed by the crisp October
breezes and swiftsned in pulsation by the
exercise of the days journeying and the In
haunt of such company only as, all the world
over, are known by the simple yet eloquent
title of true ladies and true gentlemen, and,
from the "track" to the ''grand stand" and
from the ''grand stand to the palatial club

Danish everything that might offend good
