The accounts published recently of several
cases of hydrophobia iu various parts of the
country, nnd the occurrence ot a tatnl case
in ew i ork city, recently, says tue Urtoune,
re iniiiu us oi a iiuuioer oi nuuuiur crrurs re-
. .. ., . ., , ,. 11 , . ,
M'Bttlug this terrible disease, which it may
be worth while to try to Correct. In the
remind us ol a number ot popular errors re-
first place the very cuuie of the iuaa,dy, so
tar tit least as it relers to clogs, is not nit-rely
entirely inappropriate, but is the cause of a
very dangerous misapprehension. Tile word
means t'eiir of water, cod it is commonly
supposed that a dread of water is the great
distinguishing symptom of canine madness,
and thut a dug who will drink must be safe.
Nothing can bo further Irom the truth.
The indefinable nnd terrible dread of water
ftliich" characterizes the later stages of hy
drophobia in mini, ia not noticed in touting
iu oue case out of fifty ; on the contrary,
one of the principal symptoms is a burning
and unquenchable thirst. Why there should
he such a remarkable difference between the
manifestations of the disease in tnnn nntl in
tli brute, no one kuows ; but it is impor
tant thut the difference should be borne in
mind.
Another great mistake is in attributing
hydrophobia to the heat of the ''dog duvb,-'
and we dure suy tiicre arc many people who
suppose that the. warm summer months re
ceive that popular nume, because it is in
theui that dogs run mad. But in point of
fact, July aud August are just the period
when hydrophobia is leust common ; nnd
w hatever muy be Ihe cause of the malady,
nothing is more certain than that heat is
not tho caflse. In the burning regions ;o!'
Equatorial Africa, where all the villages are'
overrun with dogs, 5f. J)u Chaillti remarks
that hydrophobia is unknown even by re
port. It is unknown in Cyprus nnd Egypt;
it used to be unknown in Jamaica; and it
has never been seen in the Island of Madei
ra, where curs of every description abound,
tormented by disease, insects, thirst und
famine. The cruel experiment has even been
tried of chaining dugs to a wall under a
burning sun until they died of thirst, but
they .showed no symptoms 'of- rabidness. -Careful
records of canine madness are kept
at the veterinary schools of Alfort, Lvous
and Toulouse, in France, and from these it
apiears that tlie majority of cases occur not
iu tho hottest but in tha xrcttett months.,
There are twice and three limes as many in
.April, November and December, ns in June,
July and August. Probably no Accurate
register I nut ever been kept in this country,
but we have no doubt that the disease is
more prevalent in the wet spring months
than at any oihcr time of the year.
Wc dare say that very few of the minimis
which are killed in the streets under the
supposition thut they are mad, really have
hydrophobia, the popular idea of what con- ,
etitulcs a tund dog being fur from accurate.
The ijmptouis,. however, are unmUtakable
to an ..experienced ere. .. The. dog usually
lugin by bting s'ltlleD nnd restless. ', He
displays extraordinary anxiety about triviul
or imaginary objects. lie is subject to
Btriioge hallucinations, sometimes of a plea
snnt, but oftener of a fearful nature. His
nppetite is depraved ; he refuses his usual
food, and is eager for everything that is
filthy and horrible. His limbs fuil hiu; ; he
has a sudden and violent itching of the ear ;
he paws the corners of his mouth ; he seems
insensible to pain, so much so that a mad
dog has been known to seize and bold witb
his mouth a red-hot poker, and another to
gnaw his tail off close to the base. The
voice changes in a very remarkable inunner.
There is a foaming at the mouth, but is al
ways less than ia observed in epilepsy or
nausea, and never lasts long. Tlie stories
of mad dogs covered with foam arc fabu
lous. . Dogs recovering from or attacked by
a fit are sometimes seen in this state ; but
fits have no relation whatever to madness.
Then we have the violent thirst which we
have already mentioned. Uuless the animal
is naturally ferocious, he shows no disposi
tion to bite until he reaches the last and
most violent Btage of the disease, and indeed
not always then. On the contrary, Ids af
fection for his master seems to bo increased,
and he is incessantly attempting to lick the
hands and face of the person he loves. This
is propensity which must be carefully
guarded uguinst. It is not the bite of the
mad dog which is poisonous, but his saliva,
which may be introduced into the syBtem
through the mucous membrane of the lips,
or any little abrasion of the skin, as well as
through a wound umdo by the animal's
teeth.
In man, a dread of water is an invariable
symptom. . The terror increases witb the
attempt to swallow, and sometimes the mere
sound of liquid falling in a vessel, or the
sight, or even the mention of it, will pro
duce the same effect. A draught of cold
air, or the sight of mirror, has also been
known to produce a paroxysm. And it is
quite certain that these distressing symp
toms are not the effect of imagination, tor
they have been noticed in youug children
and idiots who could never have heard of
hydrophobia, nor, of course, have had any
preconceived notions about it. At the same
time there is a violent thirst. The patient
is SDiioyed by the secretioj of a thick, vis
cid saliva, and tries to free himself of it by
blowing and spitting. There is a paiuful
stiffness in the back of the neck ; the brea
thing is hurried ; delirium or mania often,
but not' always, comes on, and death ensues
commonly' on, .the, second or third day.
There is no, authenticated aasf cure on
record. - Death alone putt aa' end o tho1
suffering. ' 1 ' ' ' .
The newspapers have recently given elab
orate accounts of supposed case o hydro-

phobia. Iri, llnrbiltou fcounty. Indiana, ' lit !
which the patient,' n ynunir worpun, i fid
(I d'osr about
before.. The . attack began with a repug
nance to water, out there were no very se
vere symptoms until the third day, when
she suddenly began grinding her teeth, and
then fell on the floor, gnushing her jaws,
and horribly convulsed. She bit furiously
at every one who came near her. A second
spasm came on soon afterward, during
which she is described as "snapping, snarl
ing and yelling," like a cur dog. She bit
her hands terribly, nnd bit pieces out of the
bed-clothes. Thu pnroxysins lasted five or
six days, after which the disease yielded to
treatment, and in ten days the patient was
pronounced convalescent
.Now, these symptoms are much more like
hysteria than mudness. The foaming at tho
mouth, the fit, the self laceration, are not
characteristic of hydrophobic, but they are
exactly what often happens in uvsteriil.
That disease moreover is known to imitate
hydrophobia sometimes so closely as to de
ceive the most wary physician. The bark
ing and snarling like a cur must have been
the effect of imagination either in the pa
tient or the observer who records the rase.
Such a tiling does not occur in madness
from the bite of a dog, though it is popular
ly supposed it does, tho error originating
probably from the spasmodic i-(Torts w hich
the sufferer makes to cure hia throat of
saliva. But it is quite conceivable that, a
hysteric woman, know ing that she had been
bitten, might have fancied that she had the
disease, and have produced unintentionally
the barking, the fear of water, and the other
symptoms w hich she supposed to bechiinie
teristic of it. Until n more iii curute history
of the case is made public, wc shall heidow,
then-fore to believe that this was hydropho
bia, or consequently that uriy cure for that
horrible affection has yet been discovered.
The only safety is in the excision or burn
ing of" the bitten part.
As death surely follows when the disease
has onre declined itse f, it is comforting to
know that even if you are bitten the chance
of infection is slight. The virus muy not
have penetrated the wound, or your organ
ism may not be susceptible of it. Dr. Ham
ilton estimates the chances of escape us
twenty-five to one ; John Hunter as twenty-
Lone to one; Sir. Youalt as four to one.
The chance of a dog's taking the infection
from another is ubout ns one to three.
A 1'ors.onal Ski'fcli ot Senator
. Hudc.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Cum
menial gives the following interesting per
sonal sketch of Senator. Wade i
,. "Hia parents were, among the poorest peo
ple in Massachusetts, And lie never had bjut
seven days schooling; yet ut-the nge of
twenty-one he had read u great number of
books. Ho rend the liibl through in a sin
gle winter by the light of pine torches in
his wood chopping cabin. II is grandfather
on his mother's side was a minister, ami had
a small but well-selected library, and to this
he was indebted in his early lotilh for much
valuable infornmtit n. Air. Wade is still a
hard student, nnd what tie studies is tho
roughly mastered before he luys it down,
"The habits of tho Senator are peculiar.
He rises at daylight summer and winter, and
makes up the tires in the house; then he
goes to his office, makes the tire, sweeps it
out, ousts off the furnituro, and goes to the
stable to look after his horses. When be
returns be wakes up the family, and then
goes to bis study and reads until coiled to
breakfast. After breakfast, he takes a walk
of two miles, and returns to his study and
reads until three o'clock in the uf'ternoon,
when the mail come in. He goes to the
the postolfire, gets his own mail, and opens
and reads it. All letters to be answered at
nnco are laid on his table, and the rest tied
in a bunch and put into the drawer "requi
ring attention." He gets over fifty papers
and periodicals,- His wife, who is a greut
reader, and a wast intelligent and accom
plished lady-, generally; reads one or two
hours to him every night.: . i , .'I i -
"Mr. Wade is very fund of Nasby, and all
his letters are read at night, so the whole
family can laugh with him, for he says he
don't like to laugh alone. Comical books
are ofteu read to him, and amuse him im
mensely. His wife, being asked for a Christ
mas gilt, bought him 'Old Mother Goose,'
and he was so greatly pleased with her taste
that, to convince her he appreciated her gift,
he learned every line by heart and insisted
on repeating it to her almost daily. Of pe
riodicals, the Wetmi.iter lieciew, the Atlantic
Monthly, and Jlarjter he reads himself, nnd
the rest are sent to tho family to be marked
and read as the papers.
"At 0 o'clock each day Mr. Wade finishes
reading his papers and goes to his supper.
He has not eaten dinner for tweuty years,
contending that two meals a day are enough
for any one to eat, and that he always feels
better when he only eats twice. The rest of
the family cat three time per day. Mr.
Wade cannot eat anything cooked iu grease.
After supper he walks two mile, and returns
to his office, which he locks up at dusk and
then joins his family. He retites eaily, sel
dom sitting up, even in summer, Inter than
ten o'clock. For more than twenty years
Mr. Wade has taken his daily walk of four
miles, and it is this habit that enables him
to walk so much when iu Washington. He

some account of this interesting and solitary
veteran. Arriving at Hiramsburg, a littlo
town six miles east of Curnberliinrl. n.l
about twenty five from Cambridge, we were
met by a citizen of this place, who kindly
offered to go with us to the residence of the
old revolutionist. From Hiramsburg wo

"As wo entered the cabin we were met by
a sweet-faced little girl of perhaps thirteen
summers, who invited us to come in aud
take a seat. We were just beginning to tell
the little girl the object of our visit, when a
door on tho opposite side of the room open
ed, and there before us stood, or rather
leaned on crutches, an old man, bent with
years, his lung gray hairs flowing down liko
snow over his stooping shoulders. We
knew at a glance that the venerable man
before us was John Urey. Ho came limping
up towards us, apparently with great diffi
culty, and wo arose, and with uncovered
heads, met the old man, who stood still fcr
a moment, balancing himself on his crutches,
and then with a kindly smile, raised his
dim eyes and extended his withered hand
to each of us, saying to each ; "How do you

quite out of breath from the severe exertion
he had just hud to make in walking from
the adjoining room. In a few minutes,
however, ho became, quite restored and com

us the 'short and simple Annuls' bf his life

"I took down a few of the old man's
words when he was speaking of his service
in the nrmy. 'I was,' said he, 'a mighty
tough kind of a boy in them days. I often
saw big, heavy men give out oh "the march,

We have before heard of the following
story, which appeur in the correspondence
of the fcitu Francisco Bulletin:
"General Shields, Mr. Lincoln, and Mary
Toad, the atiianeed of Mr. Lincoln, were all
residents of SpriugUeld. Gcnernl Shields
had just returced from the Mexicau w ar.
His public or private life had not been of
tho highest standing, but being of a haughty
nature, and looking witb somo degree of
disdain upon 'Honest Abe,' be sought on
one occasion to force Miss Todd to accept
his company, during which something oc
curred which gave her great offence. She
wrote a severe and sarcastic article, accom
panied by a piece of poetry, all of which
was a most scathing and cutting rebuke to
General Shields, and handed it to Mr. Lin
coln to have it published in the Springfield
paper.. Mr. Lincoln hesitated a little, but
having confidence in his judgment and good
sense to manage such an affair, he took it
to the editor, enjoined the strictest secrecy,
aud it was published. It wns a labored
comment upon much of Shield's public as
well us privute career, and be writhed like a
chained tiger tinder the goad. Although
his name whs not mentioned, everything
pointed directly to him, and he sought by

At lust he threaleced the editor with imme
diate prosecution if he did not disclose it
in him, aud guve him but a short time (or a
reply.
"The editor went to Mr. Lincoln's office,
laid the whole matter before him, and asked
bis advice. Mr. Lincoln sat a moment in
deep study, and then, with his characteris
tic coolness, said : 'Tell Shields that Abe
Lincoln wrote that article.' The etlitor re
paired to his office, where he found Shields
in waiting, and when he beard the informa
tion vowed vengeance upon the 'country
pettifogger.' Mr. Lincoln waited the result
with a good deal of anxiety, expecting a
personal encounter with Shields the first
lime they met, but instead be immediately
received a challenge to fight a duel. This
was unexpected to Mr. Lincoln, but not
doubtiug his ability to still bring the matter
to a pleasant issue, he proceeded with the

relating it afterwards. Uu said I '1 thought
if I should fail, after leading the General
along as fur as I could on his road of "hon
or," and Shields being a small man and I
very tall, witb exceedingly long arms, I
thought a sword would serve me as well as
anything, and I chose long awords aa the
weapons,'
"Everything being arranged the parties
met, and when the final issue was about to
come, Shields being perfectly incorrigible
sod Mr. Lincoln seeing there was no other
alternative, looked Shields earnestly ia the
face and said t
" 'Shields, do you want to know who

Lincoln, with a smile upon liis countenance.

moments Shields stepped forward, gave Mr.
Lincoln tits band, and joined In the tucrrl

Thus ended Mr. Lincoln's duel. He soon
had an interview with Mary Todd, who had
known nothing of tho affair, related the
circumstances to ner, and sought her par-
noll lor finally disclosing her name. Of
course be was forgiven. To Shields the af
fair was ever afterward annoying, but to
Mr. Lincoln, with his quick sense of tho ri

fair was ever a laughable one whon referred

We found a man seated on a rnrh atnno.
near the post office, last night, muttering to
himself apparently, as there was no one else
to mutter to. We lelt constrained to ask
him what he was doing there f
"Huin't doin' nothin'," was the reply.
"Where do you belong J"
"Don't b'long nowhere, and nowhere don't
b long to me."
"Who arc you ?"
"I'm Broko."
"Well, suppose you are broke, you've got
a name, haven't you ? What is it ?"
"I tell ye I'm Broke Dead Broke that's
my name, and that's my natur'. My father
was broko before me. If he had't been, I
wouldn't be Broke now at least, not so bad.
My mother was a Peasclcy, but she wnnted
a husband, end she got Broko that's tny
dad and Broke got roc. i've been Broke
ever since.' . . .
For aife'w moments the unhappy D. Broke
buried his face in his hands, and seemed
Jost in the most doleful reflections. Then,
raising his head, he exclaimed bitterly I
"I wish I had been born a colt 1"
"Why do you wish you had been born a
colt ?"
"Because a colt aiu't bmlt until he is two
or three years old. I wns Broko the moment
I saw the light, and I never got over it. It
is hard to be broke so young."
"How did your parents como to call vou
"Dead Broke I"
"Well' ye sec, as soon as I was born some
thing seemed to tell me that I had got to be
Broke all my life, unless I could get my
name changed by net of Legislature, and
that, you know, would be an impossibility ?"
"How an impossibility t"
"Are you such a blockhead as to suppose
that a man can get anything through the
Legislature when ho is brol-t " .
"You arc right. Go on."
"When tho conviction forced itself upon
my infant brain, confused as it was by recent
experiences, that I must be Broko all my
life, I felt thut there was nothing left to live
for, and lost all consciousness at once, (I
have fooml only part of it since.)"
"He is dead 1" cried my mother, wringing
her hands.
"Yes," groaned my father, "dead Prole !"
"I revived, alas ! but Dead Broke became
my name, and IJiave been dead broke ever
since.
"My name bns been fatal to ire all through
life. The smallest boy in school always hroke
me in playing marbles. I broke moro win
dows than any other boy in base ball. I
alway broke down at recitations, and had
my head brolt every day by tho schoolmas
ter. When I left school I went to clerk it
for a broker. One day there was a heavy
deficit in the accounts. I was afraid he
might think that I had something to do
with it so I 1 broke. They caught me
though, and put mo iu jail, but I broke
out."
"Out of jail t"
"No, d n it, broke out vith. the tmalt
pot "
"W hat did you do next ? '
"After the court bad disposed of my case,
I was allowed to go into the brokerage bu
siness again."
"How was that?"
"I broke stone in the penitentiary, dog on
it 1 After I got out I broke everthing. I
broke my promise, broke the Sabbuth, and
broke the pledge."
"Were yon ever married ?"
"Yes (sighing deeply), matrimony broko
me up worse than anything else. My wife
was a regular ripper. She broke up my fur
niture and the dishes, nearly broke my back
with a flat-rron, and finally broke my heart."
"By running away t"
"No, indeed, by sticking to me."
"You have had a hard time of it."
"All owing to my name. But bad as a
I dislike it, it's mine ; I camo by it honest
ly, iou wouli'.n t think anybody else
would want to be in my plaee, would ye ?
but there are thousands of impnsters all
over the country, trying to pass themselves
off for roo."
"In what way ?"
"When they tejl their creditors that they
are 'Dead Broke.' "
There was another pause, during which
the unhappy possessor of an unfortunate
name could be beard to sob. At length be
broke out
"It will be a simplu and fitting Inscription
for my tombstone, though."

their weekly returns to our Board of Health
are consulted, it will be found that deaths
sometimes are occasioned in this, as in
other cities, by persons sleeping together,

At night there is considerable exhalation
from the human body, and ut the same time
we absorb a large quantity of tlie vapors of
the surrounding air. Two healthy young
children sleeping together will give and
receive healthy exhalations ; but an old.

for health, only return weakness. A sick

sickly emanations to her; if the mother has
a cough of long duration, the daughter will
at some time also cough end suffer by it;
if the mother has pulmonary consumptiou.

Home that was, alas I 6uowentto; but
icy glances ond rode rebuffs were nil tim
greetings she received. She could not live
here, and receiving no intelligence from her
husband, she started out for herself. .Kent

means she repaired ta her father, implored
him for money, and becrced for rnnmrh tn
start herself in business, so she could turn a
livelihood. He refused, and sho said :
"Where shall I go, father J" Ho replied:
"I don't care. Go to the dogs, if you will."
In her desperation she said : "I will, father,
and hold you responsible." Bushing from
tho house, she soon met a rav vhunr mn
