PASTEUR OUTDONE.
A . Novel Remedy tor the Prevention of Hy
drophobia.
Lono Bbancr. JolylO.—General Beale ia
visiting the Grants at their cottage at this
place. Lut Sunday I heard tho general give
an intereiting account of hit once fighting off
an attack of hydrophobia.' It is’the firat eaae
I have ever heard of a msn’a being able by
mere will power to throw.off this formidable
and terrible dtaeaie. The general apparently
believe* that hydrophobia la bnt a creation to
a certain extent *f the Imagination. When l;o
wu a young man ho wu anrveyor-genoral In
ecu them California. During hia reaidenon
there, through the pnrehue of land, h* laid
the foundation for hia preeent fortune. Hia fk-
vorito aport at that time wu the hunting of
i waive a. The hunter* would go ont armed
with lancet and follow trained dog* The dogs
would ran down the wolves. Immediately
following the: attack ono wolf would always
leavo ths dogs and coma to attack tha banter.
Ths general said ono day when a wolf cams
toward him the lane* with which he could
ouily hoop off and deatroy any wolf making
an ordinary attack, broke. Aa hit lance broke
he atartod to kick the wolf under tiro jaw’
lilt foot mltaed Its aim, and inatoad waa caught
In the woira month. Tho wolf bit cloar
through hit moccaaln and woundod him to-
vorely. Bo grim via tho grip of tho Wolf that
ho did not even releaao hit hold whon killed.
Tho miadea supporting hit jawa had to bo eut
before hia teeth oouid bo relaxed from thla
terrible grip. When tho ‘
camp, u he waa alone da:
he waa met b
him that the
tain to produco hydrophobia. Tho wolr wu
undoubtedly in a condition to communicate
tho table* u ha bad been worried to a groat
extent by the doga before ho attacked ths gen
eral. Getleral Bealo rays that ho did not have
any opportunity of cauterising the wound*
and had attached no portlcnlar Importance to
tbe bito until he returned tocamp.
He raid after that there wu hardly a day
parted bnt that hie companion referred to
cates of hydrophobia arlalng from wolf bito*
Tho result of thla continued talk upon tho
aahjeet wu to produce a great depreraton in
General Beale’s mind, Within a abort time
ho began to feel eymptome of an approaching
attack of hydrophobia. Ha had tho moot ex
traordinary aversion to water. It wu with
difficulty that he canid swallow. A swelling
camo in hit throat whloh threatened to oiose
it whenever ho aonght to drink. It wu only
by tut extraordinary effort of the will that he
canid force himaelf to ewallow. One day tho
general laid to bimaoif that nnlouheoom-
bated thla growing fooling hs felt oortainho
would have an attook of hyd rophobl* Bo ouo
morning ho waUtod deliberately to aaprlng
and threat hls head into tbo water. Ho said
u he anproached hia hud to tho water ha felt
tho moat intanae drain, to jump and acrosm
and ran away from 1* Bat ho heid hlraaolf
right there and moved hia head up and down
lm the water nntll he conquered thlalmpnlae
and the aversion. Ho followed np thla prac
tice until he felt the (welling in tho throat
going down and hit averalon to water ieeaon-
inr. Ho fait that ha wu getting control and
tide encouraged him. In a short timo all
aymptoma of tho dlaauo had diaappoarad. Tho
I ienoral wu firmly convlnoed that If ho bad
hr ono moment relaxed hlowill power daring
that trying timo he would have paaaod directly
into a fit of tbo wildcat kind of hydrophobia,
Ua hu never Buffered from tho bite of the
wolf alnce that time, although it oocurred ovor
twenty, five years ago.
It is a alngular fact In this connection that
another member of hia family who hu boon
bitten by a dog, which wu undeniably mad,
bad slao eacaped hydrophobia. Hia daughter
Mary married a dlatingnlabed Ruslan, a mem-
bor of tbe diplomatic servlco of hls natlvo
country. Several yean ago they wore living
in Faria, Tho- hatband wu connected with
tbe ltaislen legation. General Bralo’a daugh
ter had at that time a stag-bound of unusual
llzo and purity of brood, it waa very docile
•nd her favorite companion. Ho nearly al-
avayo wont oot with bor. Ono day tbo dog
dlaappeared. As ho waa a gnat pot and a dog
of unnanal value thoy advortlasd for him am
aonaht through tho police to recover him. One
night when the Banian diplomat and hie wtfo
were totted abont an open fire in tholif talon
after returning from the opera there waa a
knock at the door. This wuao untiaua/a
this late hour of tha night that the Banian
went himaelf to anawer the knoek. Aa tho
door opened, two men entered, having tho
loatdog attached to a atonl atlck, whloh hold
him betweed thorn, bnt yet kept them at aaifo
dlataneo. General Bealo’e eon-in-law wu de
lighted to au the dog again. Tha dog’s mis-
trass was spaeially pleased. Tha dog, how
ever, ahowed no algn of pleasure or recogni
tion. Ho went ovor Into an opposite cornu
and would not pay any attention to their
call* They thought that he might fool
atianie, and ao paid no Author atten
tion to him, Bnddonly, without oven a bark
of warning, tbla great dog apraog and bit bit
mis trees right through ths upper lip and then
on bar ohuk before her hoshand eonld reach
tbe atoot collar which etlll encirclod tho dog’a
neck. Tho Banian succeeded in half a mo
ment in dragging the dog off from hls mist reel
end then he had a terrific fight with the infu-
i laled animal. If ho had not been very mus
cular hs wenld not have succeeded in subdu
ing him. He ucoeedod finally in dragging
him Into a bathroom and loekfng him up, bat
not until hio right snnwu bitten and torn
from shoulder to wrist.
Tbo scene that followed ia dramatic enough
for the moat teniatlonal of playa. The mo-
menttho door wu lockad tho Buaiian re
turned. Ho glanced quickly at tha flraplaoo,
whi re he uw tbe pokor wu Imbedded In tha
coals and sna foronately nearly at a whito
heat. lie drew it at once from ito bod and
raid to hia wife: ‘Tha deg if mad. This Is
our only chance to escape a horrible death.
Tlxie aroonda mart be cauterised at onoe.”
The bravo American wife never flinched.
With the courage of her soldier father abe
submitted to have the flaming iron bum most
cruelly tha flesh of her fair face. A
moment’* daisy open hu part or cow
ardice would havamada the operation upon
her buiband’o arm useless. Tha moment
after eantcriaing her wonoda tha Boraian
turned to hia own arm and thoroughly boned
every break made In hit fleah by ths dog.
After this had been done u completely as It
wu poaalblo thoy aont for tba anneoo of tho
Bnaalan legation: He sna one of the finest
surgeon a in Europe. Ua came and examined
them. Ha brought hia irons to perform tho
operation of cauterizing, bat bo eekl after hs
came that ha bad nothUf to do. Tho yooog
Russian diplomat had performed tho work u
well oo if he bad boon a skillful aurgoon.

everything to piece* In the room whore tt wu

The aheriff attempted to arreit Gil), the ring-

when tho Sheriff ancceeded in dispersing tho

The latest report from the plantation states
that a ftarlous mob of 100 negroes still sur

Little Bock, Ark., July 8.—It wss . sap-
