REMEDIES FOR HYDROPHOBIA.
We clip the following remedies for
hydrophobia from an exchange:
While we wish to repeat that there
are very few cases of this disease either
in men or dogs, and that many appar
ent cases are nervous diseases, some
times produced by imagination, still
we know that there is such a disease,
which has been usually pronounced
incurable. Therefore we publish below
certain claimed remedies, which have
been collected by a friend, and that
seem to be founded on good evidence,
but we cannot vouch for them:
PREVENTIVES.
1. Mr. Youatt, of England, treated
more than four hundred cases of per
sons who had been bitten by mad dogs,
with muriate of silver, and not one had
the disease.
2. Another physician treated many
cases with muriatic acid with like suc
cess.
3. Others use nitrate of silver and
nitric acid.
With these the wound should be
promptly and thoroughly treated.
4 Two tablespoonfuls of fresh chlo
ride of lime in powder, mixed in half
pint of water. Keep the wound con
stantly bathed with it. This proved
effectual in France.
5. Wash with warm vinegar and
water, and apply a few drops of mu
riatic acid. Afterwards poultice with
bread and poppy leaves.
G. Cures have been effected by a
vapor bath at 170 degrees. These
should be repeated, and the person
kept in a state of perspiration for
some days.
The root of the white ash steeped
strong and drank freely is also claimed
to be a cure.
If you desire to get a large yield of
rich milk, give your cow, three times a
day, water slightly warm and slightly
salted, in which bran has been stirred,
at the rate of one quart to two gallons
of water. You will find, if you have
not found this by daily practice, that
your cow will gain twenty-five per cent
immediately under tho effect of it, She
will become so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty, but this mess she wdl eat
almost any time, and ask for more.
The amount of this is an ordinary
water pail full each time, morning,
noon and night. Your animal will
then do her best at discounting the
lacteal. Four hundred pounds of but
ter is often obtained from good stock,
and instances are mentioned where the
yield was even at a higher figure.
How to make farming pay: Raise
grain and grasses; feed them to your
own stock, save the manure for your
owu land, and thus you will make a
handsome profit off your stock, at the
same time add to tho value of your
lands. Fine poik, beef, mutton and
wool, horses and mules, always com
mand fair prices. Cotton does not pay
except as a surplus crop, aud then it
must be grown at less expense than is
usually put into it,. But with wheat,
corn, oats, peas and hay, and stock to
fatten, there will boa sure road to in
dependence. All over the South there
are farmers who are preparing to re
construct their farming operations aud
to grow less cotton and more stock,
and we could hope that the number
were daily increased.
Ploughing ground very deep and
throwing the subsoil up to the top is
an error in nearly all cases, but ground
cannot be well werked too deep, pro
viding the soil be not inverted. Plough
ing the earth four to Bix inches deep,
and then scratching the surface with a
borrow, hardly deserves to be called
working the soil. We think twelve to
eighteen inches not too deep to stir
the soil, and we have never yet been
fortunate enough to have charge of
land that has not been beuefitted by
such working.—American Farmer.
Lime and milk, according to the
testimony of an eminent physician, is
a most useful compound, not only for
infants, but at a later period of life,
when tho functions of digestion and
assimilation have been seriously im
paired. A goblet of milk to which
four tablespoonfuls of lime water Lave
been added, will agree with any per
scn.-even when other food is oppres
sive and fails to afford proper nourish
ment.
■
If you wish one of the simplest and
best furniture polishes, get a pint bot
tle and 1111 it up with equal parts of
boiled linseed oil and kerosene oil; any
druggist has the former; mix and ap
ply with a flannel, and rub dry with a
second flannel. It will remove ail
scratches and white marks made by
bruising. Destroy the rags or keep in
sight, as oiled cloths have been known
to ignite spontaneously.
hen a person has been kept from
eating hours beyond his usual time,
instead of laiing fast and heartily, he
should take his food with deliberation
aud only half as much as if he had
eaten at the regular time. Sudden
aud severe illness has often resulted
from the want of this precaution, and
sometimes death has followed.
The following is said to be a good
cough syrup: One quart of tea made
from half a pint of barley; add the
juice of two lemons, half a cup of
sugar aud two drachms of pulverized
gum arabic.

a small portion of each—will never

THE POPULATION OP THE GLOBE,
The most trustworthy estimate of
the number of people on the earth for
the year 187 G, as furnished by the Ger
man statisticians, is 1,423,917,000. —
This is an increase of over twentyseven
millions on the estimate of 1875, but
the augmentation is not due entirely
to the excess of births over deaths, but
largely to the obtaining of more accu
rate information regarding the popula
tion of regions hitherto little known,
and to more perfect census returns
from other countries.
Asia is still the home of a majority of
the human race, after having supplied
shoots from which have sprung great
Western peoples. About four-sevenths
of the earth’s population is Asiatic, or
825,548,590; Europe comes next with
over a fifth, or 309,178,300; Africa
with about a seventh or 199 921,600;
America with If ss than a sixteenth, or
85,519,800; and, finally, Australia and
Polynesia, with the very small fraction
of 4,748,000 people. Europe is the
most densely populated, having 82 per
sons to the square mile; Asia comes
next, with 48 to the square mile; Africa
next, with 17|; and America and Aus
tralia briug up the rear with 5| and li
respectively.
There are 215 cities on the earth
with a population of over 100,000; 26 of
half a million or more, and nine cities
containing a million inhabitants.—
Of these last, four are in China. Inclu
ding Brooklyn with New York, as we
may rightfully do for purposes of
comparison, the greatest cities of the
world stand in this order: London, 3,-
439,428; Paris, 1,851,792; New York,
1,535,622; Vienna, 1,091,999; Berlin,
1,044,000; Canton and three other
Chinese cities, one million each. New
York therefore takes its place third in
the list of great cities without counting
our New Jersey overflow.
Though there are not at hand statis
tics upon which to base an accurate
statemeut of the fact, yet it is the opin
ion of all observers of the condition of
civilized people that the average long
evity of the human race has increased
within a hundred years. Such reports
of death rate as we have go to support
that conclusion, and it is thoroughly
proved that devastations of epidemic
diseases are not so great now as form
erly; while the medical art steadily ad
vances in its mastery of the disordes
of the human system and in its ability
to ward off and check maladies which
threaten human life. Iu England, for
instance, the death rate has declined
considerable during a quarter of a cen
tury. There and elsewhese in Europe,
as also in this country, the subject of
public hygiene has received great at
tention of late years, and its difficulties
are being steadily overcome. The
probability is that men now, on the av
erage, live longer than their ancestors
and iu better average health.—N. Y.

HOW TO GET HID OF A CRAVING
Appetite for Drink.
A driuking man can supply himself
easily with the remedies used at nearly
all the inebriate asylums and be his
own physician at his own house, with
out the necessity, expense and publicity
of visting the Washingtonian home or
any other reformatory institution. His
laboratory need contain only a small
quantity of cayonue pepper, a pot of
concentrated extract of beef, and a few
grains of bromide of potassium. When
the desire for drink recurs, make a
tea from tho cayenne pepper, as strong
as can be taken with any degree of
comfort, sweeten it with milk and su
gar and drink. This tea will supply
the same place that a glass of liquor
would fill, and will leave no injurious
effect behind. Repeated daily, or so
often as the appetite returns, it will be
but a few days before the sufferer will
have become disgusted with the taste
of the pepper, and with the appearance
of this disgust disappears the love of
liquor. The fact is proven every day.
The extract of beef is to be made into
beef tea, according to the directions on
the pot, in quantities as may be needed
for the time being, and furnishes a
cheap, easily digestible and health
ful nutriment, it being made to “stay
on tho stomach,” when heavier articles
of food would be rejected. The bromide
of potassium is to be used carefully and
only in cases of extreme nervousness,
the dose being from fifteen to twenty
grains, dissolved in water. This is a
public exhabit of the method of treat
ment adopted at the inebriate asylums.
In addition thereto the drinking man
should surround himself with influences
which tend to make him forget the de
grading associates of the bar-room,
aud lift him upward. He should en
deavor, so far as his business avoca
tions will permit, to sleep, bathe and
eat regularly, and obey the laws of
health. By the adoption of this course
energetically and sincerely, no man
who has the will to reform can fail to
do so. Hundreds and thousands can
attest the truth of these statement.—
Boston Traveller.
“There was a Kerry priest,” began
Ned Shea, “an’ he had the fashion of
bearin’confessions wid a slate an’pen
cil; an’he’d write down every sin, an’
the price of it opposite. Well one day
a big mouutainv fellow came to his
duty, an,’ sajs he, ‘I bruk a man’s last
Hallow Eve.’ ‘That’s ninepence,’ says
the priest. ‘ I cut the tail ov Larry
Kelly’s cow.’ ‘That’s a shillin’—oh, be
gob, a shillin’that is !’ And down it
went on the slate. ‘I nearly murthered
me wife twice.’ ‘That’s thruppence;
go on.’ I kilt an Orangmau.’ Whoo!’
says the priest, rabbin out everything.

tion will on week days be a sheet ot lour
pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight pages,
or 56 broad columns; while the weekly edition
will be a sheeUof eight pages of the same di
mensions and character that are already fami
liar to our friends.
Ihe Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom,
and integrity for hollow pretence, imb cility,
and fraud in the administration of public
affairs. It will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to govern cent by frauds in the
ballot-box and in the counting of votes, en
forced by military violence. It will endeavor
to supply its readers—a body now not far from
a million of souls—with the most careful,
complete, and trustworthy accounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a
numerous and carefully selected staff of re
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or bv
usurping what the law does not give them’,
while it will endeavor to merit,the confidence
of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of unjustifi
ed power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or $6 50 a year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, sl,-
20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the necessi
ty of making up clubs. At the same time, if
any of our friends choose to aid in extending
our circulation, we shall be grateful to them,
and every such person who sends us ten or
more subscribers from one place will be enti
tled to one copy of the paper for himself with
out charge. At one dollar a year, postage
paid, the expenses of paper and printing are
barely repaid; and, considering the size of the
sheet and the quality of its contents, we are
confident the people will consider The Weekly-
Sun the cheapest newspaper published in the
world, and we trust also one of the very best

Savannah Morning News
FOH 1877 .
On the Ist of January, 1877, the Morning
News enters upon its twenty-seventh volume,
aud, it is hoped by its conductors, upon a
prosperous year. Every returning anniversa
ry has witnessed its extending influence, and
to-day it is the text of the political faith of
thousands of readers. Its uniform consisten
cy and steadfast devotion to principle has
gained for it the confidence of the public,thus
enabling it to contribute larg ly to the tri
umph of the Democratic party.
In the future, as in the pas f , no pains will
be spared to make the Morning New in every
:espect still more deserving of the confidence
and watronage which has been so liberally ex
tended to it bs the people 0 f Georgia and
Florida. The ample means of the establish
ment will be devoted to the improvement of
the paper in ail its departments, and to mak
ing it a comprehensive, instructive and i\ lia
ble medium of the current news. Its staff of
special correspondents—at Washington, At
lanta, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other
points of interest—has been reorganized with
a view of meeting every possiblqpemergeney
that may arise, and pains will bo taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and relisble.
As we are about entering upon the new year,
we desire to call especial attention to our club
rates of subscription.
POSTAGE FREE.
We will pay postage on all our papers going
to mail subsribers, thus making the Morning
News the cheapest newspaper of its size and
