Hydrophobia though fortunately a disease of rare occurrence in man, is one of the most recondite and least understood in the whole range of fleshy ills. It is, indeed, given up by medical authorities asiucurableafter the symptoms ouee set in, tho only remedies being of a preventive and not of a curative character. The wolf, the dog, the fox, the jackal ami the cat seem most liable to contract the disease, though it occasionally occurs in Other animals, its appear ance, according to Eckel, being most frequent in the mouths of February and May, though popular belief bus laid hold upon the latter heats of summer or the dog-days, as the sea son in which this horrible malady is most to be apprehended. Its origin, when tie novo, is little understood; but intense thirst, sudden changes from heat to cold, bad food, and un satisfied sexual desires have all been assigned as causes for its appearance in animals; but in man it is invaria bly, and in animals most commonly, the result of contagion. When con tracted by man it is usually from bites of rabid dogs, but, fortunately the wounds in most oases heal with out any serious consequences, but one person in twenty or t hirty bitten, according to Hunter and Vaughn, taking the disease. The bites inflicted by mad wolves ore more certainly fatal, Watson mentioning sixty-seven deaths by hydrophobia out of one hundred and fourteen bites. The greater viru lence of wolf bites is accounted for by wolves usually biting at the naked par's, but dogs nearly always bite through the clothing, the poisonous saliva thus being wiped from the teeth before they enter tho flesh. But I set out to tell a story, not to write a medical essay, though so much on a subject illustrated by my story, seemed not inappropriate by way of introduction. Among the tales which, in the hey day of the American fur trade, the trappers were wont to beguile the evening hours by their camp-fires, were those of wolves having gone mad npon the prairie, crept by night into the camp of the sleeping trap per, and inflicted bites from which the victim, after lingering through days of suffering, died in terrible ag ony. Many such stories were cur rent in the olden time, and not even the Indian alarm could arouse the trapper so quickly from his slum bers, and cause nim to clutch with such fierceness the ever-ready rifle, as the cry, resounding through the camp ia the stillness of the night, “Mad wolf! mad wolf!” About the first of August, 1872, the rival camps of the several fur compa nies then contending for supremacy in the west, were clustered near each other in the valley of Green river. One night a mad wolf entered the camp of Fontonello, who represented the interest of the American fur com pany, and passing rapidly by the re cumbent and sleeping men, inflicted upon several a slight bite, proceeded among the horses, several of which It bit, and escaped in the darkness. The alarm was spread to all the camps, and the following day a num ber of tents were erected by the more prudent men for their better protec tion should the wolf return. In the camp of Fitzpatrick and Campbell, live miles distant from that of Fon tenelle, but one tent was pitched, the occupants at night barricading the entrance with pack saddles; but as the night was pleasant the remainder or the men preferred to take their chances in the open air, laughing and joking their more prudent com panions not a little for the precaution they had taken. Night came, and silence fell upon the camp, only broken at intervals of twenty min utes, when the chief of the guard sounded the cry of "All’s well!” which was taken up aud repeated successively by the drowsy sentinels, who, forbidden by the rules of the camp to pace their beats lest they should be made a target for the feath ered shafts of unseen foes, could scarcely keep awake in the recum bent or sitting postures they were re quired to maintain in some dark nook on the verge of the camp. But presently a shaggy form steals past the nodding sentinels, and reaches undiscovered the centre of the camp. It approaches the sleeping form of George Howe, who, wrapped in his blanket and resting on his left side, leaves quite unprotected his right ear THE DAILY TIMES. and cheek. Snapping at the exposed face, the shaggy intruder inflicts a severe wound, rousing Howo rudely from his slumbers with tho cry on his lips: “Hoi lam bitten! a mad wolf]” “A mad wolf! a mad wolf!” echoed the now aroused sentinels, and every man leaped to his feet in great consternation. But tho wolf sprang quickly upon the other men and bit them in the face ere they could risc,„aud then, favored by the confusion and the darkness, effected its escape. The next morning mount ed men scoured the plain in every di rection in search of the rabid mon ster, but without avail; lie seemed to have gono quite off, and further ap prehension was quited. In conse quence no additional precautions were taken the ensuing night; but again, about midnight, th'e cry of “Mad Woif!”rang through the camp. This time the creature was among the cattle, and fled after having bit ten a flue, large bull, which wus des tined for Fort William, at the mouth of the Yellowstone, to be employed in breeding. The wolf might have been killed on this occasion, but for fear of accidents orders had been given not to fire in camp; ho was however, not long afterwards shot, and killed by Fontenelle's men. A few days subsequent t,o these events Fontenello and Campbell ■broke camp and started for the Big Horn river, the latter on his way with the year’s accumulation of pel tries, tho'former to escort him as far as the river named. The bull that had been bitten appeared to be doing well, and Howe’s wounds wore rapid ly healing; but when some two day’s march from the Big Horn, the bull commenced to behave strangely, in dulging in protracted fits of tierce bellowing, all the while foaming at the mouth and pawing the ground with silence. It was evident that he was going mad, and poor Howe be came dreadfully alarmed for himself, He was a young man from New York, of good family, and well educated aud had sought, the West and adopt ed the trapper’s vocation, impelled solely by the spirit of adveuture which leads so many young men to make sacrifices of the advantages of a good homo and tiro companionship of friends to plunge into a life of hardship and danger. Howe had, among other trappers, an excellent friend named Larponteur, then quite a young man, who subsequently passed forty years on the plains, and became well known on the frontier As they marched along together, wit nesses of the mad antics of the bull, Howe with white face and trembling voice, wouldsay : “Larpeuteur,don’t you hear the bull? He is going mad. I am beginning to get frightened. Do you think I shall go mad?” Then, relasping into painful thought on the horrible prospect, he would ero long again break silence in a piteous appeal to his friends for the com forting assurance that he should probably escape so dreadful a fate. Larpeuteur, with a heart wrung with affoctionato sympathy, made to these questions in a voice of forced steadi ness as consoling a reply as ho might; but with the conviction in his heart that Howo was doomed, his words but feebly concealed his own fore bodings. The Big Horn was reached. Campbell’s party, including Larpen tour, fell to work on the boats of skins in which they were to float down the Big Horn and Yellowstone to tho Missouri, while Fontenelle turned to scatter his band through the beaver grounds to begin tho sea son's trapping. Howo returned with Fontenelle, and thus did not witness the death of the bull, which occurred soon after from a well ueveloi>ed ease of hydrophobia. But poor Howo was constantly tortured with dread; he seemed impressed with the hopeless ness of his escape, and bitter and ter rible were his reflections at the pros pect of thus miserably perishing far from homo aud friends—friends who might never know his tale. Alas! that he hud ever left them! Would that upon this August day he might stand again within hearing of the dear ones at that door —tho door of his father’s house—out of which not many months before he had joyously passed, seeking adventure, and only achieving an end like this! Would that tho brown and treeless prairie which he now traversed in such de spondency and horror, might be re placed by the green grass upon which he gamboled in boyhood, and the leafy coverts whose graceful shade had sheltered him from the summer heat on many a day like this. But let us dwell no longer upon his sufferings. This mental anguish, this dread of the impending fate one of the earliest symptoms of hy drophobia—was soon followed by other symptoms more pronounced. He would turn pule at sight of the small streams on the route, cross them with trembling, and finally, overcome by his dread of water, he dared not cross them at all. It. be came necessary to cover him with a blanket and carry him across, the mere sight of water throwing him in to convulsions. At length it became difficult to get him along at all, and one afternoon, not far from the pro posed camping ground, he was left behind in care of two men until he should recover from a fit into which he had fallen. The attendants soon weatied of their task, and came into camp without him. Fontenelle immediately sent back a party to bring him in, but when they arrived at the spot where he had been left, they found only tho torn remnants of his clothing, which he had evidently stripped off in ids paroxisms, and then tied nuked into the wilderness. He was never found, and undoubtedly perished miserably in his forlorntcondition, without a companion to solace his dying mo ments, or a friendly hand to bury his remains. Murder Will Out. A few yers ago “August Flower” was discovered to be a certain euro for dys pepsia and liver complaint, a few thin dyspeptics made known to their friends how easily they had been cured by its use. The great merits of Green’s August Flower became heralded through the country by one sufferer to another, until, without advertising, its sale has become immense.

Mall Kcpiirls from Savannah. “Tho mortuary report, elsewhere published,” says tho Morning News of Friday, “allows a marked decrease in tho mortality, oonflrmingour opin ion expressed two days ago, that the epidemic had reached its climax, and that, there would be a gradual dimi nution in the bill of mortality. Of tho seventeen interments yesterday thirteeu wore attributed to yellow fever, of which nine wore whites and four colored; three of the former were eases brought to tho city for burial who had diod in the country. “Our people begin to take heart, and, notwithstanding the gloominess of oui surroundings, tiio hopo is rea sonable that, an early frost, of which that reported iu Burke comity is tho harbinger, will entirely kill the dis ease us hu epidemic, and scatter the gloom which has so long hung over our city.” We regret to learn that Rev.

Simmons, pastor of the Methodist church in Brunswick, wtio with a high Christian heorism, lias been at his post during the whole of the terrible epidemic. He writes as follows: Brunswick. September 27, 1876. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have hud no time nor heart to write for tho past week, so arduous have been my labors, so sorrowful my sympa thetic heart for my suffering and be reaved fellow citizens. Besides vour information to the publio lias been in the main correct. No one can de pict tho horror, nor describe the suf fering, even though he should puss through it every day a9l have for the last two weeks. We hope the worst is past, but who knows what is in store for us but "He Who tempers tiio wind to the shorn Lamb?” May He in liis mercy spare us. Brunswick has a population of about 3,n00 persons, fully half of whom are colored. More than half of our white citizens have left -many of thorn, however, 100 late, for wo hear of them being sick all over the country. The few white men re maining have been taken sick one af ter another until there are but few of us left to hire nurse, distribute chari ties sent iu and bury tho dead. Tho colored people havo assisted us nobly in this work of mercy. Tho fe vcver is now spreading among them though happily it does not prove so fatal. Many of our most prominent men have fallen, and not less than one tenth of the adult male whites, who have remained in the city. You have noticed the death of T. F. Smith, edi tor of the Appeal, aud A. J. Smith, Esq., a prominent lawyer, formerly of Newuau, who was the Democratic candidate for the State Senate. But wo forbear to go over this sad roll any further. In a few days we will forward a list of contributors, which we trust you will publish for us, for we have no paper now. Indeed all business is stopped. The arrival of the cars is an event to us now, as it brings bread to the living and coffins for the dying. The rolling in of the trains sounds like muffled drums in a grave yard. The whistles have nearly ceased to blow. The five physicians we havo 3nd the sixteen nurses from New Orleans, Mobile, Macon, Atlanta and Jackson ville have cheered us much, and, we hope, will save many precious lives. The fever will have run through with the whites in a few more days, and may not be fatal to but few blacks. Tell all ray friends to continue to work and pray for us. Our Heaven ly Father will reward and heur their labors and petitions. Coi. Isauc Christian, of Darien, died here of yellow fever, -leaving a family. He was once Solicitor Gen eral of this rireuit. Yours in haste, J. W. Simmons. P. B.—T. E. Davenport, Mayor, and J. M. Dexter, Chairman of the Board of Health, were taken down with the fever to-day. I have sent telegrams everyday, but suppose they must have' failed to go. Two operators have been sent here, and both are down with tho lever. There is no operator here now except anew boy. J. W. 8. Special to the Atlanta Confetitution.J Mr. Charles Fowler, well and fa vorably known as the managing agent of the Savannah theatre, died to-day. He had many friends. Among tho new cases to-day are Col. R. L. Gentry, the well-known ageut of the Havannan Morning News, and Capt. W. W. Chisolm, cot ton factor. The total number of new cases to-day is about one hundred aud thirty, of whom a good propor tion are negroes. The cool spell, which set in several nights since.seems to exercise a good effect so far, but it is feared that when warmth returns to the atmos phere again that there will be a very large increase in the death rate.

London, Sept. 30.—Right Honora ble Robert Lowe, publishes a letter in the Times, vehemently calling for the assembling of I’arliainent to de cide whether the present policy of the Ministry on tho Eastern question should be pursued. Tiio Times edi torially says the Czar is doubtless anxious to keep the contest within its present limits. He is believed to have given assurance to Fraucis Jo seph in an autograph letter, which is exciting the curiosity of the conti nent. But there is reason to fear unless hostilities oeuse tho healing influence of diplomacy will be effa ced. A prominent St. Petersburg paper is allowed to say that Russia is reso lutely and irrevocably determined to finish tho Eastern question. Russia will incur u heavy responsi bility if she does not endeavor to stop tho present excitement.

VANCE’S CANVASS. TUB NEW YORK HERALD CORRECTS ONE OK ITS FOOLISH BLUNDERS. Washington, Sept. 80.--The Now York Herald makes the following edito rial unread e; “Wo spoke severely, the other day, of Ex-Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, in the belief that ho hud real! uttered some brutal words, which were impartial to him in local newspapers, and we were led to trust the report by some passages in Judge Settle's reply to Mr. Vance, which seemed to refer to tho language imputed to Sir. Vance. A dispatch which wo print elsewhere this morning shows on the testimony of Judge Settle, Mr. Vance’s opponent, that Mr. Vance did not use the language imputed to him, but that ho quoted from ono of tho (bloody shirt) speeches of Mr. lugersoll, a Republi can speaker, who 13 doing a good deal to make sensible men vote the 1 lenioeralic ticket all over the conntry. Mr. Vance and Mr. Settle are stumping Nortli Carolina together. They are rival candidates for the Governorship. Judge Settle heard and replied to Mr. Vance's speech, and lie at onco oil being asked if the report was correct, said it was not. That is sufficient, and the best evidence that Mr. Vance did not say what was im puted to him. Of course outside remarks had no cause to full to the ground. Revolution In Uunyaiiull. Washi.moton, Sept. 29.—Capt. E. Simpson, of the United States steamer Omaha, writes to the Navy Department, under the date of Guayaquil, Ecuador, Sept. 10th, that lie arrived there on the Bth inst. and found the city in the midst of a revolution, the General in command of the troops in the city having issued a prouunclamento to that effect with the support of the. troops, and apparently with the consent of the people. On the following day a circular was issued to all foreign consuls in the city notifying them that the government of tho Republic of Ecuador bad been assumed by General Ventemilla, and assuring them of the preservation of perfect order. Capt. Simpson stated that lie was unable to give tho Department any account of the causo of this outbreak, but it was expect ed that the movement originated by Guayaquil would be followed by the peo ple in Quito. If such should be the case, the Presidency of Mr. Borrero is at an end and Gen. Ventemilla will asume tho the position of a revolutionary President of Ecuador. Capt. Simpson, in conclu sion snys: Causes which produce revolu tions in these countries are not always apparent, but a sudden change of govern ment in Ecuador seems to bo truly unac countable, when it is remembered how this country rejoiced about a year ago at its relief from a despotic govornment which had endured for twenty years, and witli what enthusiasm Mr. Borrero was elected by ail classes to fill the office of President. A Fearful Hurricane. Washington, Sept. 30.—The Consul at,Han Juan Portorico reports a hur ricane on tiio 13th, very violent, commencing at four o’clock in the morning aud lasting till noon.

The capitul has also suffered and surrounding districts as far as heard from. Scarcely a house is standing, what with the rise the rivers and tho hurricane, the cane, rice and coffee estates are all ruined for the coming crop. At Miguabo the American brig Valencia was driven ashore, a total wreck; the George Latiner stranded, a total wreck. Consular Agents along the north coast all report groat damage, The Consul hopes tho southern coast may not have suffered as much as tho north. The Anglo-American says the man stopping at the hotel in Vigo when Tweed sailed, turned out to be Wm. M. Tweed, jr.
