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 out what it is.” She came back, and as she walked for ward to the fire the door was burst in,ami 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 us the efforts of the Island patriots, bloodless as the victims of the famine, but with the sense of a duty performed. CHAPTER XXV. toil alone seemed nndemonstra- tive. sublime patience and the ire heart that hid the anguish of i bore affliction as a duty im- i on high, now led her, deep as r and gratitude, to reoeive the blearing* as gift* from the same source, to dot# over whioh would be profanity. She Mpfer looked so beautiful; ber large ued filled with a celestial light irmeated the pale hands and face Epeemed as if they were lit up from th+ Opirit within. There were no com meats on Kathleen's manner; they all imfMr bar, and the most thoughtless would deem it a bucrilege to force her into tfca hilarity so customary to her poo Yk#to#al was over, and a turf fire, an untOtkdZnxary, blazed on the hearth, and lit up the farthest corner of the cozy loom with a cheery warmth. “It's a happy night to all of us, Mike Dolaaeji and thankful we all ought to be to God for hi^blessing,” said Kathleen, ah# looked up from the glowing coals on which here eyes had been so long bent. “True for ye, Kathleen, though its few thinge, I sometimes think, I have. to be thankful (or.

She might have said more, but Mika Delaney rose, and there was some- jo- thing in his manner that almost stilled j the breathing of all. He had been speak- r- log in a low voice, and even the ohil- ~ d, as he sat by the fire saw the tears ng down hia bronzed cheoks; now f were dry, and his eyes burned not I with the hate of a murderer, but the > mighty resolve of a martyr, who, wrong P I be might be in fact, was still nerved to Ue death, nay to court death as the %hest of earthly duties, knowing that I could expire with the one all-abeorb- t object of his life accomplished, he wind that bad been sighing about i thatched eaves for some time, as if i about to go to sleep, now rose to i the aplesh and dash ~ > hsioh followed. IBotf 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.” [the end.] 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 lieve the cast-off clothes ever fitted the Urge fleshy mass lying languidly beside them, as that the gigautio Genie ever oame out of the jar, the lid of whioh had been in an evil hour removed by the Ara bian fisherman.” 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.
