To take a town liy nssmilt is tlie
worst danger a soldier can liave to face.
The theory therefore hail n hIiow of
reason, that without the reward of un
limited license lie could never bo
brought to the breach. Tilly Is re
ported to have replied, when lie was
entreated by some of his officers to
check the rapine and bloodshed that
has immortalized the sack of Madge
burg in 1G31 : " Three hours' plunder
ing is the shortest rule of war. The
soldier must have something for his
toil and trouble." Tlio scene never
varies from age to age; and the storm
ing of Hudajoz and San Sebastian by
the English forces In the Peninsular
war, or of Constantino in Algiers by
the French in 1837, teaches us what
we may expect to see in Europe when
next a town is taken by assault, as
Strasburg might have been in 1870.
"Xo nge, no nation," says Sir
"V. Xapier, ' ever sent forth braver
troops to battle than those who stormed
Uadajoz (April, 1812)." Yet for two
days and nights there, reigned in the
streets, says the same writer, " shame
less rapacity, brutal intemperance, sav
age lust, cruelty and murder." And
what says lie of San Sebastian not a
year and a half later? A thunder
storm that broke out " :ec med to be a
signal from hell f-ir the perpetration
of villainy which would have shamed
the most ferocious barbarians of an
tiquity. The direst, tin
mosi revolting eruenv was added to
the catalogue of crime; one atrocity
staggers tlio mind by
its enormous, incredible, indescribable
barbarity." If officers lost their lives
in trying to prevent such deeds whose
very atrocity, as some one lias said,
preserves them from our full execra
tion, because it makes it impossible to
describe tliem is it likely that the
gallant soldiers who crowned their
bravery with such deviltry would have
been one whit restrained by the con
sideration that in refusing quarter, or
in murdering, torturing, or mutilating
non-combatants, they were acting eon
trary to the rules of modern warfare?

Curious Spanish Ceremonies.
A Madrid correspondent writes
Last Sunday an imposing ceremony
was witnessed at the cathedra".
Twelve poor, blind women and as
many ragged men sat on a long bench
netore the altar. 1 ho king and queen
of Spain, clad in garments neither as
line nor as becoming as the clothes
worn by the mendicants, stooped be
fore them and then washed and dried
their feet, the queen bathing the feet
of the women and the king those of
the men; thus the royal family showed
its humility and good faith. The
royal hands did not touch the feet of
the beggars, but simply sprinkled
water over them and afterward dried
them with coarse towels. Afterward
the subjects of the ceremony were fed
from two long tables prepared in imi
tation of Leonardo da Vinci's " Last
Supper," the queen, who was now as
sisted by her court ladies, dispensed
tlio food to the women, and the king,
with his ministers, attended the men.
It was curious to study the faces of
the mendicants thus honored by the
ceremony. I did not see the menu,
but I counted thirty-two courses, and
I was told that the spread was better
than the king usually had. After the
dinner ceremony was over the entire
military force of the capital was de
ployed along both sides of all the prin
cipal streets to receive the royal party,
who left the palace at 4 o'clock and
marched on foot, the king and queen
with the rest, to seven different
churches, scattered about the city, and,
having attended a short service in
eacli of them, marched hack to the
palace again. They kept in the middle
of the streets and walked with heads
uncovered in the broiling sun through
the whole four miles like soldiers; the
queen and the ladies trailing in the
dust no less than live yards of silk and
gold-embroidered trains to show
their extreme humility on this day.
Hjdropliohia-Tlie Possibility of lie
covcry. The death recently of Mr. George
A. Iteeves, speaker of the Texas house
of representatives, will tend to con
firm the almost universal impression
that recovery from hydrophobia is im
possible. Here was a patient whose
position and circumstances enabled
him to command all the available
resources of medical science in the
treatment of the awful disease to which
he was a victim ; and yet his life could
not Ire saved.
The popular notion that there is no
known remedy for rabies is correct.
Most of the new drugs which have
been tested of late years prove more
injurious than benelicial to the patient.
They produce paroxysms, and thus
hasten death.
JJitt the idea that nobody ever re
covers from hydrophobia does not
seem equally well founded. On the
contrary, a few cases of well authen
ticated spontaneous recovery are on
record. For tlio last eight years a
committee of the Paris Academy of
Medicine has been engaged in prose
cuting careful researches concerning
rabies in animals and man, and the
president of this committee, M. De
croix, in a recent report, declares that
he has obtained satisfactory evidence
of recovery in nine cases, three of
which were those of human beings.
In commenting upon the experi
ments made by the Frencli rabies
committee, tlio Lanwt says that since
the administration of medicines.usu al
ly provokes convulsive seizures, it
seems desirable, according to our pres
ent knowledge, to leave persons affected
with hydrophobia in the most perfect
possible calm." Absolute quiet and
obscurity are pronounced Indispensa
ble conditions of wise treatment by M.
Decroix, and that investigator makes
the astounding statement that, under
such conditions, he would rather suiter
from hydrophobia than from many
other diseases.
It is something to have learned that
every case of hydrophobia is not neces
sarily fatal; that recovery may occur,
though cure as yet appears to be im
possible. The value of agricultural imple
ments yearly produced in tlio United
States has increased ten-fold since 1858.
In that year the census showed it to
be $6,800,000. Now it is more than
$68,000,000.
