Mike and whispered—
“They are oornin’, for God’s sake put

“No disguise to-night,” he replied, as
he drew himself up and exposed his pis*
tolled belt to view. “But they’re here. I
can hear them now.”
“Come this way. Don’t open the door,
but drop through my window; the room
is dark.”
All was confusion in the little cottage,
lately so full of happiness—Mike and
Kathleen alono seeming to have rotained
their senses. He knew she was right and
ho obeyed. Quietly she opened the win
dow, and unobserved Mike Delaney drop
ped down on the very spot where Dan
GaRpin lud been discovered on a night
of similar excitement.
“Stay where ye are, Mike, till I find

She came back, and as she walked for

Denny Keely, his face aud body covered
with blood, staggered in, like a murdered
man walking in the spirit. Raising his
gory bands above his head, ho whispered
hoarsely, “Whoro’s Mike? Let him away
to the mountains. They are about the
house—the red coats. Tell old Betty I
did it; I did what I said—for the byes,for
the ould land.”
Tho firo seemed suddenly to die out,
and the daring boy fell before it lifeless

bloodless as the victims of the famine,
but with the sense of a duty performed.

I Into
TIIE STRUGGLE.
There was no necessity for disguise now.
The foul soldiers were up, and a cirole of
bayonets was thrown arouud the cottage,
and lights were lit in front of the troops
to show the npproaoh of the outlaw they
were searching for.
Again the door opened, and Oaptain
Gore, without an apology, stalked into
the centre of the room. His face was
lived, bis eyes bloodshot, and the artificial
courtesy he had extended to Kathleen on
every former oocasion had gone, and in
all his coarse brutality he stood before
ber.
“Whoie is this murderer and outlaw
you have been biding and cheerishing
here ?” he demanded of Kathleen.
She made no reply ; for at that moment
her father steppod botween them.
“Captain Gore,” t xolaimed tho old man,
“I am responsible for everything done in
this house, au’ though you are its land
lord, an’ ye wear the colors of the crown,
yo cannot act tho blackguard before my
family, nor enter my bouse without my
oonsent or proper authority.”
A fierce oath wai tho only reply, and
an effort to push tho old mau back, but
before he could accomplish his object,
suddenly, as if ho had risen from the
ground, Mika Dolaaay rose, and bis baud
was on the Captain’s throat.
“Tho hour has come!” Mike Delaney
had heard the uoise aud returned, and
now, as he towered above the trembling
wretoh before him, be seemed the very
personification of vengeance.
Drawing his sword, Captain Gore shout
ed, with a pained cry, for hia followers;
but the sword, like a switch in the hands
of a boy. was wrung from his grasp, and
he replaoed it with a pistol.
In the meantime Mike had put his back
to tho door, and calling to the women and
children to mu to tho next room, which
they did; ho raised liis pistol aud said,
“This is tho last night of earth to you an’
me.”
The pistol banged, and Gore, throwing
up his arms, fell with the blood streaming
from his mouth.
At that moment the back door was
burst in, and though Mike Delaney might
have shot tho foremost mon, nay even
have escape 1, ho let his pistols fall to the
ground, aud folding his arms, he received
tho fatal bullet lrorn the wu-ikot of ooe of
his owa countrymen.
The rooms were soon filled with sol
diers, and one of them lifted the Captain
in a roolining position, while Kathleen,
with Mike's heci on her white arm, tried
to foruo a little wuer between his clench
ed teeth.
“It’s too late, Aoushla. I've done what
Ilivel for. Look at him thore! Him
that thried to ruin your pure heart. Him
that ruined the girl sleepin’ in the grave
by tho Lough. Ab, Gore, the reward
ye offerod didu’t keep back tho fate ye
earned. But wo’ll both sooa stan’ before
the groat Judge, an’ then—yer lands—yer
uniform—yer money will not prevent me
au’ her from go tin’ a fuller justice. God
bleu ye, KUhleon. Lay me joeud down.
I’m happy.”
Gore attempted to rise, even in that
rnomeut when the damp of death was
gathering ou his forehead, he would have
died happily wore the arm that ministered
to the outlaw near him. Nor could his
hate and jealousy oose out with his blood.
“Look on me, rnymeu!” he gasped,
“and liston to my dying words—These
people have harbored tho outlaws, have
murdered me—have murdered me!”
“C iptain Gore, you are soon to stand
in the presence of God. Can you die with
this falsehood on your lips ? Can you say
that me or mine have ever been aught
but hone9t to you an’ yours.”
“Not yon, Kathleen ; not you ; give me
your baud." She was aboat to advance,
when a weird figure rushed into the room
—even the soldiers giving way for her.
It was old Betty. Looking wildly about
her, bhe saw Deuoy Keely dead ou the
hearth, and stoopiug, she pushed buck
the masses of brown hair from his white
forehead and kissed him. Then rising,
she looked around on the soldiers, and
down at the dying men.
“The famine has not done its work,”
she said, in a dear voice that thrilled the
listening soldiers, “but the famine will
•top, an’ plinty, with open hands, will
oobsb agin to onr famished island, an'
D 11 * i* 1 ** live will forget the dead; forget
S jg^TL 110 ^ »«t the onree that
will never depart from onr island till tho
men of onr land cease to wear the uniform
of the oppressor for the sake of bread.
Mike Delaney open yer eyes an’ look at
me. I’m ould Betty, she that saved ye
many an’ many time; she that nursed the
child of yer sister, and laid her out with
no mourners, but you an’ me for the
grave. I knew vengeance was cornin’
then, Captain Gore; an’ though many
years have passed, it has followed ye.
Hould hiui up soldiers; before he dies let
him look at this dead boy on the hearth.”
Captain Gore turned his eyes on Denny
Keely.
“People thought Mary Delaney's child
was dead. I gave it oat, that Mike might
not hate the ehild for the bad blood,
though it’s little bad he hod in him. I
tbrained biui to hate, an’ watch, an' wato,
au’ he did his duty, au’ only died whin his
mother’s name was claued by the blood of
his false father. Captain Gore that dead
boy was your child.”
Tho Captain struggled as if he would
lay his baud on t he blood-stained face of
Danny Keely, but in the effort his head
fell back with a groan, and he stood be
fore the searcher of all hearts.
Betty knelt above Mike, first pressing
her thin lips to his forehead.
It’s over. Give me yer hand Betty,
an’ let Kathleen take the other. There,
I’m happier now. No more Sleopless
nights in tho mountain; no heart-aches
an’ hunger. The dhrames of my youth
are dead; the hopes of my manhood ac
complished. Kathleen, go to Galway;
he’s there; he’s waitin’, an’ lave this land,
but not, alahna, till yo’ve seen me buried
beside her.”
“No, Mike.”
Kathleen laid her cheek against his,
then the broad breast rose, and as it slow
ly settled down, the spirit of the outlaw
passed away from famine, from trouble,
from revenge.
CHAPTER XXVI.
IN OTHER LAND*.
A week after the events narrated in the
previous chapter and the excitemont the
deaths of Captain Gore aud Mike Delaney
had caused had not yet died oat; if any
thing it had been augmented by tho fact
that old Betty was found dead between
the graves of Denny Keely aud his moth
er the day after the funeral.
The newspapers of the laud were filled
with graphic descriptions of “the battle
with the outlaws,” as it was called, and
England took advantage of “the murder
of a gallant officer,” as the death of Gore
was called, to excite tho sympathy of the
civilized world, and to form a pretext for
quartering a dozen regiments more on the
furnished people of the unhappy island.
Larry Brchan and ull his family, with
Dan Gaspin'* father and mother, had been
arrested, but from some cause they wore
released, with no churgs agaiust them af
ter the first hearing. Ou the day follow
ing Kathleen, who saw the necessity for
prompt action, rode over to Galway, aud
with but little trouble she found the Amer
ican ship that had come over laden with
supplies for the famishing people.
She inquired of a tall sailor, whoso face
was almost hidden in hair, and learned
where she could find the oaptain, and with
out a word, the tall sailor, who seemed
suddenly to have beoorne drunk, for he
staggered to tho bulwark for support,
pointed to the oabin.
Kathleen descended with a trembling
step, and was cordially met by a slender,
bronzed young man, with a moustache
and chin beard. “Ab, yoa are Miss Bre-
han,” he said, rising and extending his
hand, and retaining hors till he led her to
a chair.
“Yes, sir. I came to see ye about pass
age, an’ about Dan Gaspiu, that ye may
know.”
“Yes, I guess I understand it, Miss
Brehan. Delauoy told me all, though
GaHpin had done so before. Game follow,
Dclanoy, but Le got into a speculation
that wasn’t paying, ltevcngo aint neces
sary where there’s fair play. But excuse
me, I must go on deck for a moment. We
sail iu a few days, and I am very basy.”
The captain was wonderfully at his ease,
and had a frank, open way of carrying
himself, that Kathleen had never seen iu
any man beforo. He had been gone but
a short time when the companion way
leading to tho cabin again became dark
ened, and with a beating heart Kathleen
saw the tall sailor, whom she hud spoken
to on deck, descending.
She rose to meet him, but the last three
steps were taken at a bound; the beard
and wig wero dashed aside, and tho arms
of Dan Gaspin wore arouu J her, and his
tears anJ kisses were poured ou her up
turned face, as ho called her “his angel’’
and invoked ull the suiats in the calender
to make her an object of special care.
She sit down holding his haud, and be
fore she would tell him of the people at
home, she m ide him give her all the par
ticulars of his escape aud his success iu
the New World; saying, whou he had
concluded, “the danger is not over yet,
Dan; for if it was known ye were here,
they would get ye, an’ kill ye.”
“That's throe, Kathleen, bnt they’ll
have to take ms from undher the Ameri
can flag, au’ I've took out mo first papers;
but never min 1, ia two days the captain’s
going to sail, an' with ye as my wife, an’
tho fathers an’ tho mothers, an’ the little
one round us, we can snap onr fingers at
them wonst we re three miles from the
shore.”
Dan kissed her again, and, indeed, it
was only by an appeal she proventod his
giving vent to a whoop of joy. The cap
tain came down soou afterwards, and
there was a dry smile in his grey eyes as
he saw Don Gaspin resuming his disguise.
“I’m a married man, Miss Brehan, and
osn therefore appreciate the situation. By
the way, I am going over to Lougbrea to
night in a buggy—I should say a jaunt
ing car, and will take you back if yoa de
sire. Your quarters are all arranged. I
will have bat few passengers, and I think
it would be wise to got all yoar friends
here at once.”
Kathleen thanked him, and accepted of
his offer.
There was bnt little preparation neces
sary. The famine had awept away the
eattle and means, and the landlord with
in the last few days had distrained for the
rent. Bat there were blessing* to take
away, and they were poured oat on Kath
leen, with prayers for her welfare from
the hundreds who had been aided by her
heroio self-denial.
Her last aot was to visit the new-made
graves and to cover them with the first
spring flowers that had grown by the lake
and on the mountains which Mike Dela
ney loved.
The ship was to sail that night. Her
cargo was in, her passengers on board,
and the sailors were heard to say, to
night we are off for God’s Land.” An
other hour and the ship would be in the
hands of the pilot. A light burned in the
oabin, whieh was guarded without. The
Oaptain oatue on board accompanied by a
priest who understood the whole affair,
and then Dan Gaspin aud Kathleen Bre-
ban were united for life.
Tho hour was up; the moorings were
slipped, and tho ship headed for the
ocean. The three Gasping and all the
Brehans stood on deok till the dim shore
faded away, till the light house sank like
a star below tho horizon, and the fresh
ening breeze wafted them away to homeB
of plenty “iu other lands.”

A Chinese Dinner.
San Yranolsco Gall, Judo 27.]
Yesterday afternoon the proprietors of
the Hu Yuen Tong Theater, tho new Chi
nese plaoe of amusement, whieh was op*
ened ou Jackson street last Monday night
celebrated the event by a banquet at beu
Chiug’s Choy Yan Low restauraut on
the corner of Jaeksou stroet aud
Wjwkington alley. A limited number of
invitations had been sent out. Among
the names of the gentlemen who accepted
aud at fivo o'clock sat down to partake of
a Ohiuese dinner were Judge M. 0. Blake
of the Municipal Court; T. G. Cockrill,
Chiof of Police; and John L. Durkee,
Fire Marshal. Dr. Li Po-Tai, Ah You, ex-
inspector of the Sam Yup Company; Ho
Man, of the firm of Kum Wo; Ah Jarok,
of the firm of Yee Tuck; and Ah Yung,
agent for Dr. Li-Po*Tai, tho owners of the
theater, welcomed the guests as they ar
rived, according to Chinese custom, invited
each one to partake of a small oup of tea
in token of hospitality. The table was set
aooording to the oastoms of this country,
and before each plate was a tumbler con
taining a fine boqnet, and an abundanoo
of out flowers were strewn on the table,
between tho plates and dishes. As those
present sat at ihe table they were inform
ed th it they must eat of whst was on the
table to begin with, so that they might
have au appetite for what was to follow.
The appetizer consisted of plums, cher
ries, haaiioas, Tim 8am (sweetmeats),
Sang Quor (dried fruit), Tong Qaor, (eau-
died fruit), and Mat Chiu Tong Quor
(fruit preserved in hj l’up.) These fruits
naving been done justice to, the waiters
gave each of the guests a small bowl of
Yin Wuh (bird’s nest soup.) “This soup,"
said the dootor, “is vury rich, and the
bird's nest cost from $40 to fsGO a pouud
iu this city. In Ohiua birds pick up mo3S
on tho sea, take it to tho cliffs, and build
nests with it. Meu are let down from
the top of tho cliffs by means of ropes,
and they gather the nests before the birds
soil them.” After the soup came a dish
of Bah Kop (pigeon stew.) This was a
stew made of pigeons chopped into
hiuAll pieces and stewed with green onions
and peas in the pod. With this dish the
waiters pluood on the table 8am Pin
(champague.) Cherry Win (sherry), and
Muey Guy L>>, h powerful liquor extracted
from rice and flavored with altar of roses.
Noxt iu older followed Chin Ho (fresh
oysters Hied in batter), and Too Yueu
Choe (sharks’ tins in batter.) Bat few of
tho guests partook of the latter dish,
which, Dr. Li-Po-Tai remarked, was “very
delicuio.” “Yon have some?” said Ah
Yung, the Doctor's agent, addressing the
Call's representative, “i’hank you,” re
plied he, “I never eat fish.” “Oh,
mo, see,” said Ah Yung; “me 'spose
you Cutbolio to-day, Friday; no
can’t oat fish. All right!” The next
dish served up was Moo Goo, a stew com
posed of bamboo aprouts, ham, Chinese
water nuts, and mushrooms. About this
time Chief Cockrill remurked that he
oonld eujov the diunor much better if he
bad a small piece of bread. The Doctor
heard this, and beckoning one of the
waiters, said, “Min bow!" aud in a mo
ment the chief was furnished with a slice
of bread. During the remainder of the
time the guests were at the table the chief
war heard to say “Min bow” fifteen times,
and each time he was handed s slice of
bread. The next dish offered was Com
Chin Gye, of which all partook heartily.
This was made up of a slice of lean ham,
a slice of ehieken breast, and a shoe of
ham fat, cut in the Rhape and size of a
dollar, put on a brochette and fried. Foo
Yung Ap succeeded—a d sh consisting of
pieces of duck fried in batter and slewed
with mushrooms, green onions, and
peas in the pod. Then came a course
of Han Huey. J his was a stew of what is
kuowu as Chine s* soft shell terrapin. The
shell, cut iu slices, wua served with the
meat. “Another nice dish," ho the Doo
tor said, was Hsrn Chee Yee Chee, which
eonsisteJ of stewed sharks’ fins, ham and
chicken. Sti'unga to say, ilo one preseut
agreed with the Dootor about the nicety
of this dish; and, when it was laid be
fore him, the Fire Marshal was beard to
suy : “1 wish that the Hall bell would
striko now, so I could havo an excuse to
leave this untouched.” His wish was,
however, not gratified; and, mastering
all tho courage at his command, be man
aged to got down one mouthful, after
which he remarked with the utmost sim
plicity to the gentleman on his left, “I havo
eaten quit© enough. I don’t think I want
any more dinner.” Tempting dishes
of Lin Chee Chuen Ap (boned duck
stewed), aud some Hut Yew (boiled rook
eod), wero the placed upon the table, bnt
they were left untouched, except by Dan
Murphy, who said that ho had made up
his mind to taste of everything, and he
was goiug to do it. He carried out bis
intention. Yee Chee, a stew made of
pike, fungns, eggs and ham, was then of
fered, and a plate of lloo Bee (dried
Chinese oysters;, was laid before each
guest. These oysters,(having a peculiarly
rancid taste, did not agree with those who
expected to partake of delioious bivalves.
The oourso of stews was ended with Lot
Chee-kcc, u very excellent dish of
booed chicken, served with chest
nuts. A*kt this came Pak Hap Yee (plain
boiled JUb), Fung Wan (roast Chinese
goose), Him Ball Kah (roast pidgeon), and
Hen Chee (roast pig). Then the guests
were served with another course of sweet
meats and nuts, and a eup of Cha (tea)
each. After which they were offered
Luey Lung Yin (Havana cigars), and Yin
Chay (Chinese oigarettes). At the expi
ration of three hours the gnests arose
from the table, and, by invitation of Dr.
Li-Po-Tai, vieited the new theatre to wit
ness the performance of a Chinese play
entitled “Fong Sheong” (consolidating
six empires). This play is founded on
events whioh transpired 8,000 yean ago,
aooording to tradition.
SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
Non-Intoxicating Wines.—Professor 8.
C. Bsitel says: “Passing thus through the
whole breadth of Europe on one of its
ohief wine-growing belts, it seemed to ms
that this might be taken as a fair sample
of the drinks whioh the people of any
r ape region will extract from the vine.
raised the question: Do these commu
nities uso or know of any drink bearing
the name whioh is not a fermented, intox
icating drink ? It was perfectly manifest,
even to the eye, that all the wines con
sumed by high and low were diffusible
stimulants, stirring tbs blood, exciting
the nerves, and flawing the ehesks. Bat
it occurred to me, before leaving the
Bhwe, to test the question still more ef
fectually, as my own practical reply to
statements which I have heard and read
about the use of *unfermented wines’ in
wine-growing countries. Aooordlngly,
from that time, I have made it a point at
every priuoipal stopping place, to taste
the people's wins—viu ordinaire—and oc
casionally other kinds at random. I have
found that while differing in astriuffenoy,
sourness, and the flavor, the people** wine
is invariably an alooholio drink, apparent
ly a little stronger than the strongest eider
whioh was formerly made iu New England,
from whioh, iu some instances, the taste
oould scarcely be distinguished. And I
have concluded that if there be any prac
tice of preserving the unfermented juioo
of the grape or preserving the grape to
make it such as the exoellent Mr. Del-
avan found in one solitary instance in
Italy, it is a praotioe kept profoundly se
cret. And if there be auy uufermented
liquors sold aud drunk an wines in the re
gions I have now traveled, they are liquors
unknown to the hotels, the oafeu, the res-
taurautn, and the people who frequent
them; and they are liquors not comprised
in the via ordinaire of the great vintage
zone. Their existenoe is to me a Beoret
undiscovered. I remember, too, that it
was a thing whioh Dr. Eli Smith was un
able, after long and careful inquiry, to
disoover in Palestine and Syria.
Thb Lobsteb.—Enormous as is the in
crease from a single female lobster, their
numbers are considerably diminished bv
predatory fish, whioh devour them with
great avidity and relish. But we pro tol l
that the mother protects ber progeuy to the
utmost, and by no meauB ceases her care
with the deposit of her spawn, but contin
ues it in a very pleasing and interesting
manner, longer than in most animals of s
far higher grade of organization. Many
fishermen assert that they have frequent
ly seen daring tho season the old lobsters
with their young around them. “Borne
of these infants have been noticed at six
inohes long, the old lobster with ber bead
peeping om from under a rook, tho young
ones playing around her. Hhe appeared
to rattle her claws npon the approaoh of
the fishermeo, when herself and family
took refuge under the rook; the rattling
was, no donbt, to give the alarm. Thia
is told by old and experienced men, with
out the slightest oonoert or question of
collusion.” Who, after this, will not be
lieve in the loves of the lobsters as willing
as in an oyster crossed in its sffeotions ?
During the early period of its growth the
lobster oasts the whole of its shell fre
quently—in the second year every two
months—bnt as its size increases a new
dress is less often required, till at last,
when arrived at the fullness of physioal
dignity, its armor grows as it were rusty,
and becomes coated over with parasitic
shells. Dr. Beard tells us that “the lob
ster only increases in sizo during the short
period of moulting, but this increase is so
great that it is almost as difficult to be

Test of Micbosoopio Powbb.— Mr.
Webb, in England, makes, by means of a
machine, very fine writing on glass. This
writing is so fine that it beoomes a test for
the power of a microscope. An enlarge
ment of one of Mr. Webb’s tests contains
the Lord Prayer in s ruuuing band. To
form some idea of the aise of the original
writing we give the result of s simple cal
culation. If the Bible wero written in the
same manner it would be oonUinnd, Old
and New Testament, eight time* over in
the apace i f one square inch. Let us see
if we oan establish any relation between
this writing and the size of the light waves.
On the same glass pioture with Mr. Webb's
test are a series of ruled hands, photo
graphed, with the same lens from pistes
likewise intended as tests for microscopes.
The first of these, whose hues are about
equal to those of the Webb ted, has these
lines 1-12,000 of an inch apart, or would
afford spaoe for three red waves between
each pair of lines. The fifth hind, how
ever, has its liues 1-80,000 of an inch
apart, and would therefore be only s very
tight fit for s red wave. But these bauds
are mado much finer thau this, the finest
ye( resolved being the nineteenth of the
seme series, and having 120,000 lines to
ho iuoh, or considerably more than three
times finer than red waves.
Indian Giants.—A correspondent of
the Chicago Times gives to the curator of
the Battle Creek High Bohool Museum
the credit of telling a very remarkable sto
ry about a recent discovery of humau re
mains in Barry coauiy, Mich. Lost fall a
Mr. Cartwright was breaking up a new
piece of land for wheat, and was some
what aurprised in turuiug a farrow to soe
seven skeletons decapitated by his plow,
and the seven ghastly skulls rolling before
him. Mr. Cartwright at once began dig
ging ou the spot of his unexpected discov
ery, and succeeded in unearthing twenty-
two skeletons, sitting upright, face to face,
in a circle. A number of atrow-heads,
stone pipes, and hatchets were found with
the skeletons; also, a silver breastplate
covered with curious tusi riptions. Tbis
plate was sold for $10 to a young mau who
has moved sway, and ha* never since been
heard from. The most ruiu irkablo part
of the story is the assertion that all the
skeletons were those of giants, averaging
from Raven to eight feet in height. Un
fortunately they have boon buried again,
but they are to be exbunied shortly, and
if they are found to be remains of persons
as large as represented, they will possess
great interest for ethnologists, wbilo “the
silver breastplate oovored with curious in
scriptions” will be a troasure if it oan only
be found.
The Fboobess or Medical Science.—
The transfusion of blood from an animal
into the human body aa a means of restor
ing vitality, to whioh we referred some
weeks ago, and which was introduced ia
tbis oouatry by some pbysiri ins of Ohien-
go, is beginning to attract the general at
tention of the medical faculty here as well
as in Europe. It has lately been tried in
France with great success, *ud its curative
powers in caws of lung diseases and se-
vere loss of blood is also being dismissed
in England. The medical oullege of Nord-
banseu, in Prussia, report that of thirty*
one canes iu which transfusion was em
ployed twenty-seven proved ©perfectcure.
The same proportionate results have been
achieved in Chicago. The firat case of
transfusion occurred there oh tbs 80th of
Msy lest, and siuos then this remedy has
been applied in nine oases altogether, and
it failed in only one, producing all Iks ex
pected favorable symptoms in every other
case. Borne enthusiastic devotees of this
new kind of treatment already claim for
it infallible qualities in phthisis and con
sumption, bat th# mor# modsrst# among
th# doctors are lees sanguine, though ad
mitting the startling results accomplished
where transfusion was tried. If it wore
poesible to bring tuberonlosls of the lungs
within tho oontrol of medical science, and
take from it its present eharacter of a cer
tain sign of death, it would indeed be a
great boon to humanity.
Left-Hand Wbitino.— A left-hand writ
er in the Scientific American gives some
reasons why it is better to writ# as he
does. The hand ia never in the way of
the vision. The pen point is always in
plain sight, and so is the paper to be writ
ten npon. Thors ia eonscqnently no in
dues moot to stoop forward or to tarn the
hand so as to throw tho ayes out of focus.
It is a oomraon fault with those who write
mueh that the left eye has a shorter range
than the right. It is overworked and com
pelled to adapt itself to nearer vision. In
writing with th# toft hand these evils or#
avoided. An upright posture is the easi
est, and tho eye# are equally distant from
th# paper.
Hsw t# tell a Mad Dog.
From the Cincinnati Oasstte.]
A genuine oaae of hydrophobia, even in
the dog, is a very rare occurrence. But
when the disease does manifest itself, its
symptoms are marked and easily defined,
and to one who has given the subject
the slighent attention there should
be no mistake concerning a proper diag*
nosis. Tho trouble is that to persons of
superficial observation an epileptic fit—
very common among dogs—may be mis
taken for hydiophobia.. The dog when
suffering from au attack of epilepsy—a
sure guarantee that he is not mad—runs
about wildly, staggers, falls down, re-
f ;ains hit feet, toddles about meohanioal-
y, froths at the mouth f whioh is another
positive indication that ho is not mad, for
a mad dog never froths at the mouth) and
as if entirely deprived of sight, runs
against anything in his way.
With the maa dog the case is entirely
different. He dreuls at tho month; is
possessed of preternntural strength, and
never staggers or falls exoept to die. He
does not bite mankind, bnt rather avoids
society. He takes long journeys of thir
ty or forty miles to vent his restless de
sire for motion. When journeying he
does not walk or run, but proceeds in a
slouobing manner—a kind of trot. His
eyes do not glare or stare, but are dull
and retracted. His appearance is very
characteristic, and if once seen osn never
afterward be mistaken.
PBIMIMtil.
A committee of the Boston Technol
ogical Institute have reported in favor of
military drill. It is a good gymnastic,
trains young men to Htaud erect and walk
straight and mind their superiors. But
the shooting will all be done with the
eyo.
—We think it a great thing to have a
small company or pilgrims visit Borne
and the Pope. But a hundred and sixty
thousand Mobamedan pilgrims have al
ready visited Meo*a this year. Iu the
matter of religious zeal the Asiatics leave
ns Occidentals nowhere.
—“Old ohina” is the rago in London.
A few weeks ago tix ilnus-md guineas
were given for two H vres va*ea by a lav
ish purohsser. Th.ro are now throe
specimens of this costly ware on exhibi
tion in London, for which tnore than one
dealer has already privately offered ton
thousand guineas.
—We have always had difficulties iu
in our exegesis of the prophets, but the
prosent fearful state of tho weather seems
to shed noonday light on the prophocy of
Malaohl. “For behold the day oometh
that shall bum as an oven.” This long
predicted day has now come The ther
mometer is at 101 in the shade.
—The new Tribune building is rapidly
rising, audits walls are already visible
from the river. If the design of the ar
chitect is oarried on in the manner iu
whieh the work is begun, the edifice will
be an ornament to tho city and a monu
ment of journalistic enterprise. The
Tribune is s great paper and a good one,
and almost as indispensable aa a break
fast.
—In Mississippi licenses to sell liquor
are granted only ou the combined peti
tiou of a majority of tho electors uud
two thirds of the women over the sge o!
eighteen. The result is that prohibition
virtually exists. If the temperauuo
question wero left to the women of
Amerioa, prohibition would bo tho law of
the land to-day, and if they wore voting
it would be carried out too.
—The Herald aud a few other journals
have had the ill-taste to characterize Mr.
Tilton’s reoent letter to Dr. Baoon as an ad
vertising triek to give The Golden Aye u
stupendous sale and thereby to put money
fact that Mr. Tilton had parted with overy
penny-worth of his interest in The Gulden
Aye at a considerable period previous to
his ever thinking of writing or publishing
his reoent oomiunnioatiou.
—The Times newspaper is doing all
sorts of uojonrnsliHtio things. Its ateiin-
boat excursions for poor children have be
come a popular institution, and now it is
moviug for a country hospital for children,
especially in the summer. Home of its
opinions strike us ss exceedingly qnes-
ti suable, and it is rather more belligerent
than the best taste approves or the neces
sity requires. But there is no question as
to the vigor of its articles aud its general
ability. Nobody buys that paper as au
opiate to put him to sleep when othor
methods fail.
—With July begin the lonely days—the
loneliest of the year—for married men
whose business keeps them in the city
while their families seek recreation at the
seaside sod the spriugH. Yet after all a
great deal of sympathy is annually wasted,
by the newspapers, ou tbis oluss of dwell
ers in brick snd mortar. Why pity them?
They have oool, quiet homes, where none
may cross their will, and servants have
naught to do but wait upon them. These
poor “summer widowers” enjoy their hol
iday. For now the ohildreu cease from
troubling, sod the reproving tongue of
the matron is at rest.
—India not only needs missionaries but
a whole army of them at once. Just now
there seems to be great danger that tho
followers of Budbs and Mohammed will
infect the Christians, anless reinforce
ments srs sent soon. The Bev. Dr.
Sohroff, of Bombay, who describes him
self as “only throe weeks in this country,”
made s speech on Tuesday at the Normal
College reception, in whioh he said that
ell political infloenee ahould rest with the
husbands and none with the wi
ie the ereed of India's heathen. And tho
harem and the suttee are its natural fruits.
Dr. Bchroff will have to try agaiu.
—There is wanted s society for 1
lection of smell children. Mr. Bergb
takes good oars of animals and the law
looks after the youthful trout snd teuder
quail. Bnt ell over onr large cities are
small children by the hundred, tumbling
into arose, dodging the wheels of oars,
running under horses, provoking stray
dogs to bit# them, climbing into carts,
playing on the wharf and in every other
way inviting the attentions of a coroner.
Now U is all well enough to have the daily
Lswysrs.
