Killing by Explosives.?There is causefor unpleasant but fascinating thought * in the progress of modern science in means for destroying human life and property.? Electricity, dynauiitc end nitro glycerine are becoming more familiar and more generally available every year, and tie timo is probably not far distant when the menus of secretly and safely killing cucmies and des. troying cities will be at the command of [) every man who cau obtain a few dollars. - fl>.n <w?u ?u:i? r..?_ ^ VMM HIIJ ^</VVI UUIVUk CAIOk nuuu 119 11/113 ) and fleet arc at the mercy of any diaflec* ted subject who is reckless enough to carry ) a few pounds dynamite in his coat pocket ? / Further, is any private individual safe j while every enemy holds his life in his i power with au electric battery, a few pounds I of wiro aud a few cents worth of nitro^gly) ecriue and common earth ? ^ The days of violent killing aud opeu i wars seem destined to be at an end lorevcr. J The rifle that kills in an instaut at half a j 7 mile is to bo discarded as clumsy, expensive } aud cumbersome, and we will kill scieutifi- ' ) . j cully with a wire laid under or on tho 1 groutid ' a nn explosive that can be hidden ^ in a jy vial with strength cuough to des) 11 j the strongest buildings. To day tbc j most powerful and despotic govcrumeuts j are powerless against a few score desperate | uieu. and London is guarded as it hns uever been since the old wars, against a dozen J Irishmen.

Ouce more, after mm, to the quaint'old church To. the choir 1 bent my ear; But vainly through it mado listening search For the voices once held so dear. No laek of melodious art was there, Still grand were the chords of praise, Vet I missed with a pang the familiar air Of the choir of my boyhood's days. The sweet, pure flood of my sister's voice, ; Of my brother's, full toued and clear, And of yet a dearer, whose accents choice > Made my pu'ses stir to hear ; And of friend and neighbor, each ^uite distinct. In the symphony?Where were they T Gone, vanished and mutOj?a chain dislinked? An aooord that hoa died away. I mourned their toss, And then vogue and dim Grew the notes of the later choir; AlU* ^er# 8CCme^ 10 aWe" 0D lhe *'r * l,jr n prised, My inucrraoat heart-strings swept. So real it was thai I turned my head To the singers, as if to see The prayeful eys of my beautiful dead Looking down, as of old, on cue ; When the spell was dissolved?I recalled no face, ^ No glance, the new choir among, And the dream hymn, fading, gave gradual place To the psaliu that was being sung. Sad and sedate through the Gothic door I passed with the goodly throng. And the quaint little church was hushed once more, So to rest for a whole week long ; But for days and days, in recesses gVay Of memory, long locked fast, A phantom choir held sovereign sway With the anthems of the past. A Novkl SurtoiCAh Operation.?Boston, Api^I__20. ?The operation which is expected to save the lifo of Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, prcsidont of Bowdoin CollcgOj Was one of the most novel and daring in the history of surgery. For some mouths Gen. Chamberlain has been sufferiug from serious complications resulting from a wound rc> ccived during the war, when a bail passed through hia bodj from hip to hip. A difficult operation at the hands of Dr. Joseph II. Wnrrou, President Lincoln's physician, saved his life at that time, but a recent) abscess iu tho abdominal cavity was followed by a sloughing away of about two iuchcs of the urcthal caual. Natural healing was impossible, and it was decided to attempt the unprecedented feat of building up the missing section with transplanted flosh. Dr. \Vu?roo, performed tho operation yesterday afternoon The process occupied two hours, during which time the patient romaincd uudor the influence of anasthctics. The obdomen was laid open and slowly, bit by bit, tho living flesh was cut from not vi'al parts and sewed iuto place iu the shape of the missing orgau. lutlun .uiutioii was guarded against by a constant stream of antiseptic spray upon tlic internal organs, and finally, after many careful stitches had bccu taken in the internal construe lion, the outward opeuing was closed and the operation was successfully completed. The patieul rallied better thau was expected, and to-day be has slept considerably, and the fever has not been as severe as was feared would result. It in expected that the mechanical union of transplanted tissue will become vitalized, and if no uiishap occurs all danger will be passed in a week or ten days . A Sensible Suggestion.?It has been wisely said that there are two sides to every (jucstion. The subject of sheep and dogs has elicited uuuy suggestions and attracted the attention of legislators. One class are constantly calling for a wholesale destruction of the canine race, whilst another class cling with unrclaxing tenacity to the most worthless of uongrel dogs. The golden mean between these two extremes is found in the advice given by a correspondent of the Connecticut Farmer to "improve your dogs." This course will prevent any clash between two classes. The proposition of lovyiug a tax upon dogs does not necessa rily remedy the evil complained of?for mean dogs will not refrain from killing sheep because they are registered and their owners have paid a tax upon them. If we would treat the dog as we would have our* selves trented,<Hci us not punish the innocent in order to reach tho guilty. Few men are so blinded by prejudico that they will not admit that some dogs arc useful, good and valuib o. Tho best course then is to gradually get rid of all mongrel hrppdii siihstiliitimr for hum imnrat/o/l ! breed*. The end sought for can bo reuched quicker this way than by any other. Wo believe that sheep?husbandry should be encouraged in every possible manner. a^k'9^ protection from the law of the^tira, should not those engaged in it exercise a little more co" of their flocks. They need more oare than nny other stock, but do they got it ? The two extromes of opinions csfo harmonize upon this platform . Improve tho breed of your dogs ; take bet. ter caro of your shcop. Self-denial and patience aro sure to meet their reward. A SUBS REMEDEY FOB HYDROPHOBIA. The following euro for hydrophobia pub lished in (ho Atlanta Constitution, is recommended by Dr. J. II. Logan, one of tin ablest '.ud most promiocut physicians in Atlanta. It has been examined by a wel known physician iu this city, and fully endorsed. It is simple and easy of application, uud is said to be a sure prevention o the feai ful disease uow so prevalent: Editors of Constitution : I herein seud you, iu vow of the preseut fearful pre valence of hydrophobia among the worthies: dogs of the oouutry, a plan of treatment fo the bite of the rabid uuirnal, which uiusi commend itself at ouoc, not only to thi Jlfttoliiirent nbyfiician, but overv sensibh ' 'ang^tetf"^ | the main by a physician of Kentucky, ii a. n m . - _ liiu lyruv^isw 0 circular. The indications to bo mot in a caso o dog bite are of a two fold nature. 1. To lesson the powers of the part t< absorb. ^ 2 To reinorc the virus from the u. j ent vessels. Tho absorbent powers of the part cat: lessened by ^he adoption of two mcusur (a) liriug tho patient rapidly under the fluencc of opium, (b) Tie a bandage ?i tightly around the limb as to stop all circulation, and let it remain until the virus i removed from the vessels. Second, tho removal of tho virus cau hi readily accomplished by stretching?usin* a kuife if necessary?tho wouud wide opet and filling it with tablo salt?the homi mad stone?well packod in, and let i remain until partially dissolved in tho fluid* Then let this portion be removed and anolh er quantity placed iu the wound, and ai continue till tho appe^ranoe of the parti indicates that the oporation has been continued sufficiently long to insure the perfee safety of the patient. It may be well t( observe that no water is to bo used aboul tho patient at ail, cither iu dressing tlx wouud or in rcmoviug the salt. After this ii accomplished, the bandage may be reniovcc and the wound dressed and treated iu tin usual way. Now what is to bo douc wheu a person ii bitten by a dog ? First. Do not lose tiuio in considering the condition of tho dog, but tako it foi granted that he is rabid, and act accord ingly. Second. Let one pcrsou supervise the whole operation. This person will.send ac assistant iu haste for the salt, another foi a vial of laudanum, while he himself wil! expose the wounded limb and tako ouc o! the paticut's garments aud make a bandage for the liuib aud apply as above directed.? By this time the two assistants arrive, and with tho salt he proceeds aB abovo. The other assistant is directed to administer a full dose of luud.iuum, lorty drops for an adult, aud if tlus is uot sufficient iu due tiuie to coutract the pupil aud to produce other indications that the patient is undei the influence of the opiate, let tho (lose bt repeated. Id thi execution of this then must not be a moment's time lost. To show that this treatment is pcrfectlj rational ard highly judicious, it is sufficienl to say that when hams, are salted, the sail draws the water and blood out of tlu hams, uuitcs with them and forms brine Every one who has cured his own meal known that tho brine turrounding tlx ham's residue is bloody. ]iy a chemica combination between the salt and tlu water of the blood the latter has beci decomposed and its coloring matter, with other ingredients, driveu out. Tho blooc has lost its inherent power of acting as i recipient of any virus, while tho salt, ovei and ubovcthis chemical action, is known L( ho a powerful antiseptic. Insert this, Mr. Editor, in The Constitution, and let it be so widely published tha every home in the laud may procure a cop^ of it. If this plan ot treatment had been known in time it might have been the means of saving tho lives of little Harry, o; Philadelphia, tho little boy in Xenia, Ohio and more recently of Dr. Dozier, near Cov ington, Georgia. J. II. Looan, M. D. When he had callod the meeting of the Lime Kiln Club to order, Brother Gurdnei arosj and said: "Gen'lem, if it wasn't for dc wheels on a wagon do wagon wouldn't move Wheu do wheols is ou,den what?" ''Grease!" solemnly exclaimed an old man. "Kerrect!'J whispered the president, softly rubbing hit hands together. "Wo hcz de wagon an' dt wheels. We will now pass de bat aroun for de grease." .?.

Defendant Dorset's Faithful Wife. ?Washington, April 1G.?There are two features of the star route trial which at onco arrest the attention of the observing visitor to the court room. One is the jury, which has listeued pationtly and uncomplainingly for nineteen long weeks to a mass of tangled and contradictory testimony and to tbo wranglings of opposing lawyers. Tho other is two beautiful womeu, who, day after day, watoh the proceedings with an intense eagerness that rcvoals to every one present the deep interest they feel in the result. 1 Oue of these ladies is tho wifo of Stephen W. Dorsey, the chief of tho defendants. The other is the widow of Feck, who was ouc of the dofeudunts. Tlicy are sistcrr. I They were boru'iiud grew to womanhood iu Arkansas, and thcro Dorscy'and Peck married them. They are young, shupcly and sweet faced. They ore pronounced brunettes, and their clear complexions, beautiful teeth and great, kindly dark eyes would win them respectful admiration anywhere. Mrs. Dorsey is the more iutcusc in her expression of interest. Iter#glanco scarcely leaves the face of the witness during the sitting of tho Court. She ucvur ^ seems wearied, and pays no attention to ^ the coming and going of tho crowd. Bravely, patiently, with tiue Southern courage, she is strengthening and supporting her ^ husband in bis struggle for what most men hold dearer than life?honor and good name j Whatever may bo tho fate of. her husband the world will have nothing but sympathy and admiration for her. i Something Worth Knowing.?BuUer 1 made in May and June can ho kept sweet t and good until the ensuing fall and winter r if one has a oool placo for storago , other) wise it is somewhat difficult.
