Hydrophobia I'rom The Hitt
or a eat.
I
About a month ago Mrs. Catha
, l ine Keenan, who lives with her hus
band and a grown up daughter, in a
j shanty on Bush street, lied Hook,
1 Brooklyn, was bitten on the wrist bv
„ * . ’
a favorite eat, which was lighting
j with other cats near her residence.—
j Mrs. Keenan paid no attention to the
| wound, which healed, leaving two
I small scars. On Thursday morning
she began to feel severe pains in the
wrist which was bitten. These grad
ually extended up the arm, and she
became so sick that early Thursday
evening she sent tor the Rev. Laur
ence Toner, assistant pastor of the
Church of St. Mary, Star of the Sea.
When told of the cat’s bite, he sur
mised that it was a case of hydropho
bia. The opinion was confirmed hv
■offering Mrs. Keenan some water,
which threw her into a spasm.
Father Toner at once summond
Dr. Geo. W. Welty, of No. 560
Clinton street, who found Mrs. Keen
an sittieg up in bed in intense agony,
her eyes wild and protruding. Her
daughter brought a teaspoon of wa
ter to her, hut it threw her into a
tremor and caused her to breathe
with difficulty. A taplespoonful of
water was brought at her request, hut
when it was offered to her she ex
claimed wildly: “I’ll tear you.” At
length she swallowed it. Dr. Welty
prescribed sulphate of morphia, and
called in consultation Drs. Nathaniel
and A. W. Ford, who agreed with
him that it was a geuuine case of
hydrophobia. No drugs seemed to
have any effect.
Yesterday morning the symptoms
were more aggravated. Mrs. Keen
an had been uahle to sleep during the
night and her pulse was at 130. At
noon she was frothing at the rnoltth,
but was able to take a little gruel.—
She refused to lie in bed, hut stood
at a window, leaning with both hands
upon a table. Late in the afternoon,
Mrs. Keenan was much weaker, and
it was evident that she could not live
very long. Even then she was un
willing to tie in bed, and when laid
upon it would persist in sitting up:—
When she was offered some tea she
took the cup in her hand, but re.
fused to swallow the fluid. Mrs.
Keenan is sixty-seven years of age.
Mrs. Keenan’s spasms increased in
frequency toward the evening, and
she grew visibly weaker. At 7:25
p. m. her death occurred. Dr. V eltz
said, last evening,'that he never had
any doubt that it was a genuine case
of hydrophobia. He considered it a
case of great importance to the medi
cal profession. —New York Observer.
The Chin'pan sees
Netv York’s new citizens are tints
reported in the Tribune-. “Of the
chimpanzees, the largest one is about
four feet in ( eight when erect, and is
nearly full grown. lie is not very
tame and occasionally strikes at his
keeper with all the vigor of tin ac
complished boxer. The others are
smaller, and exhibit many indications
of affection and intelligence. They
caress their keeper when he ap
proaches, and show great distress
when fie leaves them. The form of
their hands is almost, the same .as
that of a hsrmftp being, the chief dif
ference being that they have no ap
prehensive power in the thumb.
Iti capturing these animals it was
necessary to kill the parents. The
captives were fed for a while on the
milk of buffalo cows, but at present
their bill of fare is varied. For break
fast they have choclate, yolks of eggs,
honey and bread ; for dinner, sago,
rice, bread and port wine ; supper,
tea. milk and honey, toast, etc., and
they delight themselves between
meals with oranges and bannas. —
Once a week they are fed with the
breasts of chickens, the only meat
they eat.”

Tobacco Mlealcrs.
A8 the sub-eoliectors of internal
revenue afe nowon their rounds, and
few of them in this part of the coun
try have ever learned what their duty
is, we publish below a part of a letter
fiom the revenue commissioner at
Washington to E C- Wade, collector
of revenue for the 3rd district of Geor
gia.
We advise planters to preserve this
letter an I not allow themselves to be
imposed upon. The letter fs dated
April 4th 1878.
‘‘lt has beeu and is now held that
a farmer or plunter who simply sup
plies his employees with what manu
fttC'ured tobacco they need for tLeir
own personal use and for their special
accomodation, and not with a view to
gain or profit to himself is not regard
ed as eugiged in the business of sell
ing manufseterod tobacco, end would
Dot be inquired to pay special tax for :
thus supplying his hired laborers j
with tobacco.
This ruling is intended to embrace
all cases where farmers and plautets
furnish supplies of tobacco to their
laborers, whether such laborers ar9
paid a stipulated sura in cash or ns
equivalent by the year, month, week,
or dsv; or paid try leceivtug a propor
tion of the crop produced, as per con
tract; or wlrete the laborers cultivate
a given number of acres of land at an
agreed rent. A farmer or plan'er j
who sohi/ for the accom.odaiion of las ,
laborers or employees, as above unfitted j
—n t with a view of gain or profit to i
himself—even though he charges a
pries for (he tobacco in advance ol
what he pays by the box sufficient to
make h tnsejf entirely whole i. e., to
reimburse himself for such loss, oust
and expense as he may necessarily
incur—is not hold to be liable to p y
for the special tax.
Yours respectfully,

Mr. John Pore, who lives in the

two little children, aged reapecuvofy

in their curtymary play a few days
ago, while the mother was at the well.
The oldest child, for what reason it
will never be known, picked up a
sharp hatchet and stru .k the baby iu
the side, leaving the axe sticking in
the wound. The child seeing what
he had done ran and told his mother,
who was drawing a bucket of water
at the time. Tins so frightened her
that she let go the windless, and the
revolting ciaok etruck the boy on the

“It’s a fact sir, that agents of the
English government are in this coun
try purchasing horses for ttie cavalry
service of Great Thitian,’’ says Charles
Foropaugh, one of the numerous
; brothers ot well known horse dealers
and circus men.
“I have received private advice
from my buyers in Knn'uckey atld
Indiana to the effect that the Englsh
rneti are purchasing largely in that
section. Tim horses they select aie
not below ‘16.2’ high, and sixteen
hands wheioever they can get them.
The quality of animals is about the
same as in our cavalry service during
the war, but I’ll wartaut them will he
as many scabs among them. The
agents are paying a good price for the
anamals ; indeed, better than I can ,
afford to give and bring the horses !
here to soli. My advices s\ate that
18,000 is the another they require.—
That looks like business, don’t it?
This wail have the effect of causing
a rise in prices here for horses of me
dium size, but will not interfere with
the r..tea ot fancy steppers. •They are
shipped to Canada direct, and from [
there sent to England. This can be
done at about sl2 lest than horses Can
be brought here for shipment. It’s a j
good thing for the horse market,
weiclt has been very Hat of lute.”
Some six months auoit was learned
in another quarter that the business '
ot espoiting horses was begun here
when thitty of general service
animals weie aent by Mr. Brockio’s
b tearoship Dominion. It costs about
$45 a head to send the animals across
the ocean, and the enterprise proved
profitable to ,th speculator They i

'them 'o rest in. Instead of loosing j
they generally gain in, flesh. They I
have been several shipments of horses !
from New York, it is claimed, always
witli profit, as the stock of animals is
very small in the old world, ot, ac

A little girl in Washington city died
on last Fiidy l ight from over ex
ertion in jumping the rope. 3he had
‘‘kept tip” eighty times; that night
she drad. J*mpii;g the rope is a
hatmless amusement for little gills,
j if not canied too far, hut it is always
1 liable to the danger of oVor-exertion,
■ for an emulation or rivalry is aroused
and the thoughtless little folks try to
tiro each other down; and though it
I
is very rare that this imprudeuce ter
minates so sadly as in 'Tie case of Net
tie Williams on last Friday, still
th<?re is no doubt that rcrieus injuries
sometimes result. A rythmic jolting
up and down is the serverest strain
that can bo brought to hear on any
thing. Ice that will bear twenty boys
who stand still may he broken by oue
who springs uu und down in rythmic
and m. asured time. The trotting ol
a single horse across a orilga is a se
verer strain thuu ten times the dead
weight of the horse and wagon. It is
because lythmic motion striKes u se
ries of blows. It must be r uembeied
that some of the internal organs are
suspended in thuir positions b) very
delicate and fragile membranes Su l
den and violent jolts or shocks some
times tear these membranes with
most deplorable consequences. But
a regularly recurring vertical motion
like skipping the rope may bring npeu
them a strain as severe as a very vio
lent sing't) shock or strain The ef
fect tnay not at once be apparent, but
the child may never have I'S lieultn
again. We should be sorry to think
however that the naturul romps and
gamos of little girls should bo attend
