Colonel R. W. Thompson was 80 years of age yesterday. In these anniversaries of Terre Haute's venerable, yet active, statesman there is something of local pride and kindly feeling that have been felt for few men. The days to come of one at his age ordinarily would be but few, but the vigor of the "grand old man" gives promise that hiB home friends, and they indude all the home population, are yet to rejoice in more of his birthday anniversaries.
In the senate last winter Mr. Voorhees voted against reducing the import duty on coal. In the last campaign Governor Tpnnn P. Gray was heralded as an advo cate of free coal. Both of these distinguished Democrats have, in an ostentatious way, contributed to the relief fund of the strik ing miners. What is the political logic of these facts? We would say nothing, yet no doubt Senator Voorhees will now insist that the protective tariff duty causes all the present difficulty in the Indiana coal field when every sensible person knows that the use of oil and natural gas fuel has deprived the coal industry of a great part of its market.
The appointment of Kelton to be adjutant general of the army by Pesident Harrison has exercised the injenuity of our Democratic friends. The Democratic newspapers can find but one point to make which is that the presi

What we would call especial attention to, however, is this statement in one of these reports: "President Harrison appointed Kelton to the place, and properly so." In the criticisms of President Harrison's appointments we find that there is little question as to the excellence of the appointment, but much speculation as to the offense supposed to have been caused this or that faction.

WHAT ARE MADSTONES?
Special Correspondence of the SL Lools Bepubllc.
ALTON, Jane 5.—The application of what are known as madstones to the wounds of persons bitten by rabid dogs has been known for many years, and notwithstanding the opposition of regular physicians to this mode of treatment it becomes more common.
A few reputable physicians will not admit that there is such a disease as hydrophobic but it is, nevertheless, a well established fact that dogs have the rabies, and that peroons die with what is known as hydrophobia. It is the most horrible of afflictions, and the medical fraternity generally frankly admit they have no remedies and are powerless to combat the ailment. Once the terrible' convulsions commence, death alone ends the suffering of the afflicted.
Applying madatonee to the wounds of persons bitten by dogs is much more common throughout the United States than is generally known. Many people go to the madstone privately, fearing the ridicule of friends. We know even of physicians doing this, although openly expressing themselves as having no faith in the efficacy of the remedy.
What are madstones? Geologically the writer can speak of quite a number he vina seen and of others he has heard described. They seem to be mostly fossil corals. During the great maddog scare at Hannibal, Mo., some three years ago, a number of madstones from various sections of the country were obtained by the mayor of that city. The majority of these stonee were Devonian favorites. At least, three toadstones the writer has seen were fossil coral from the lower silurian, while others are tertiary fossils.
In some instances the virtues of madstone are claimed for those singular calcuti, or balls of lime and hair that are sometimes found in the stomach of the ox.
We know of a prominent physician who went off into an adjoining state to have a madstone applied to a wound made by a dog thought to be rabid. He acknowledged that his mind felt relieved afterward, but claimed that any benefit to be derived from a madstone was simply in this relief from apprehension.
One peculiarity about the application of fossil coralines is their strange adhesion, at times, to wounds.
The writer happened one day to see a noted madstone applied te three children, two boys and a girl. They were all bitten on the hands or arm. The stone, after being placed in boiling water, was applied to one of the boys, and adhered, seeming to absorb something from the wound, but after fifteen or twenty minutes dropped off. After being boiled again and applied to the wound on the second day, it would not adhere, but did so to the wound on the girl's arm. The excited parents of these children started home apparently satisfied that a great calamity had been averted. We could only wish we knew that were true. These children who seemed not nearly BO much interested in the matter as the parents, had been bitten two days before and had travelled over a score of miles.
The day after the children had been treated a man and his wife made their appearance, also seeking the madstone. This man was also a farmer and told the following story in substance: The same dog that had bitten the children had afterward entered his door-yard and attacked his own dog lying on the front porch. A savage fight ensued between the animals and the farmer's dog was badly bitten and torn. Both dogs were shot. The farmer's wife, who was a neat housekeeper, immediately after the affray, set to work scrubbing the froth and blood from the floor of the poaroh, not thinking at the time that she had a cat on her hand that might have come in contaot with some of the saliva from the rabid dog. This matter so preyed upon her mind, for a neighbor had recently died a horrible death from hydrophobia, that the husband took her to the madstone.
The woman was very much excited, and we abtu'ally feared for the great strain on her nervous system while the owner of the stone was preparing it. When applied the stone at once became fixed to the wound on her hand, and did so for the third time, when it fell off and would adhere no more. The good woman seemed wonderfully relieved, and when they started for holne some hours later her nervee had not yet obtained their normal state. Still she was apparently as happy as could be. Nor did ahe

One object used as a madstone in llu nois is said to have been taken from an ancient mound in Kentucky. It is one of those pretty perforated badge stones made of variegated slate, and made by the old mound-builders. I was unable to see that it had any absorbent quali ties.
Other forms of rock, such as tufa from thermal springs, lava and stones of volcanic origin, have been used as madstones, but a majority of these objects claimed as remedial agents are, as before remarked, found to be ancient coralines. The most irregular Btories are sometimes told of the origin of madstonee by those that possess them, these people not always being among the best informed. The history of one madstone that has a great reputation and of which a sketch is given above, is that it was taken from the stomach of a beef and had been formed there, yet almost any geologist would recognize in the stone an old silurian coral.
Another madstone, widely known and much used, has its history given as of meteoric origin, having been picked up near the spot where a large meteor was once seen to descend to the earth.
This madstone, too, is a coral, and full of those peculiar open radiating cells that were once the home of polypi of Devonian seas.
The history of still another and somewhat similar stone of great repute gives it a miraculous origin in Mexico, yet we have found precisely such a one in an old Devonian roof in Calhoun county, Illinois.
Now we come to the most important question in this investigation. What evidence have we that madstones really have the virtue ascribed to them of removing virus from the human system? Are they really^^y iy JHSytKaiT the first. In the first question it is very difficult to get evidence that the bite of the dog has left any virus in the system of the person bitten. It is probably very seldom that we have positive evidence that the dog was mad, or had real rabies. Negative evidence is not always convincing. Among the country folk where the madstone 7s mostly used, volumes of evidence could be obtained that would read well, but it might not all be reliable. Of the matter professional and scientific men know little or nothing, from the fact that it is thought to be dangerous to their reputation to take any especial interest in such investigation.
ifeSa&r-u
or any of the three children suffer bed effects from the oocssion afWflalthongh it was currently benerea— their neighborhood that a oow bitten by the same dog died of hydrophobia.
in
Still this was only negative evidence, really. The cbanoes were very alight that the small wound on the woman's had absorbed any virus, but the chances were frightfully large of hydrophobic symptoms being the rerait of tor highly excited nervous eystsm. Neither oould it be doubted for a single moment that the madstone in this particular instance was beneficial.
This madstone is a tertiary fossil, with the mouth of the coralites open and without matrix, of which, although rare, there are living representatives in some of the warmer waters of the tropical
noted madstone is of the
same species, and a tertiary coral. This has, during the last half osntury, by repeated boilings'in vinegar, water and other liquids, been reduced until it is a mere fragment, Recently the owner— an old, gray-headed farmer in Jersey county, Illinois^—was given anew and perfect one. His perfect fsith in the new, like his faith iq the old, never wavers for a moment. The old man's faith is simply founded on the fan*, that no one to whom the stones have been applied have suffered from hydrophobia. This is simply more negative evidence.
The writer has, without entire satisfaction, however, endeavored to convince himself that the action of the stone in adhering to the wound was purely a mechanical one, after the manner of a cupping glass, and that each coralite or polyp cell became a sort of valve, and exerted from a vacuum created.
He has not quite satisfactorily endeavored to attribute the action of the stone to the peculiar construction of the polyp otll itself. It is well known to naturalists that all coral-making polypehaveremarkable powers of absorption and secretion. Enormous masses of coral are built up in the sea, the polype in some strange manner absorbing the stony matter from the sea water. The little animals build their housss about their bodies, never leaving their abode even for food this is absorbed also. The peculiar radiation of the cells forms a Bort of oillia, and although stationary, may have acted as such. We do not know what peculiar substance the polyp ab sorbed as food. No one seems to know this. But we do know that amid the tainted waters of the early seas, when nothing could live on land, and no very high organization in the water, the coral polype flourished prodigiously, and it is thought by one of our beat naturalists of to-day that the polype of the
Bea,
like
the plants of the coal, absorbed the virus from the element in which they lived to purify it.
It is not at all beyond the province of Nature's laws that she might arrange a cell structure so it might absorb certain substances. In vegetation every root fibre absorbs its peculiar substance and never departs from it.
The investigation of the madstone may be thought by some to be unprofessional, but who can tell but that it might lead to profitable results. Nature provides poisons, but we know she provides antidotes as well.
Anyone who has hsd the misfortune to see a fellow-man die of hydrophobia will feel an interest in any investigation of the subject.
Then again, even if it could be shown that there was any reasonable evidence that there was no such thing ss the transmission of rabies and that hydrophobia was simply an affection of the nerves through the mind, and if the application of the madstone served to allay that excitement, soothe the nerves by satisfying the mind, it were none the lees valuable.
I ITVWM ""V ment through the mind, it does not at all prove that rabies cannot be transmitted by the virus from a rabid dog.
And it may be a satisfaction for some to say that no one need despair if a madstone will help hint should he be in great extremity, and many learned men would as lief trust to one as to the microbes of Mr. Pasteur.

HISTORICAL FLOODS.
Disasters in Which Thousands of People Lost Their Lives.
A writer in "Johnson's Universal Cy clopaedia" says: In 1362 the Mandrankels flood (the "men-drowning" flood) snatched away more than thirty villages on the coasts of Sleswick (Nordstrand) But the most disastrous flood by which in later times the southern Netherlands have been visited was the (second) St. Elizabeth flood, which formed the Bieebosch, submerged seventy-two villages, changed totally the lower course of the Rhine and Mass, and altered BO profoundly the conditions of these rivers that its influence is still felt, though modified, and in a measure controlled, by costly engineering works constructed in later years.
The flood of All Saint's day, 1570, though only surpassed in magnitude.by that which occurred in 1170 on the
In 1634 part of the Danish coast called Nordland and its villages, which though often destroyed had as often with undaunted resolution been again rebuilt, was swept away, together with the greater part of the population (11,038 people). Hamburg, Bremen, ana the coast of Oldenburg were aim much injured. More than ten thousand eight hundred and twentyeight human beings and 90,000 cattle were drowned. In the great Christmas flood of 1717, which covered the whole northern coast, and even some parts of England, 5,000 dwellings were totally and 3,500 partial'y ruined. The most recent inundation of importance was th8t of 1825, in which the waters reached a height which was not ascertained.

It is jieooming fsahionable far meato shave their besrds and go around with smooth facte, says the New York San. This applies particularly to the young men who have been wearing cloeeerapped pointed bean and mostechee as longaatMpawtaof their beards. It not considered the best of form for these young men to be seen in a public barber shop. Of courss to have their faoss constantly smooth they must shave them selves or get shaved somewhat*, but there is beginning to be a p»h udioe against sitting in line in a public barber shop, just as there has been -for some time against sitting on the publie bootblack standi at the street goners. A man must have his sboes shined, unless he wesrs patent leather or russet shoes, and even then they need some looking after, but he is expected to have his work done in some plsoe where lie will not be seen daring the process.
The reoent whim against appearing in in the publio barber shops wiU not hurt the barber ahope any
more
than the
prejudice against publio bootblack stands among the same class of men has seriously injured the business of the bootblacks. The class of men who pay attention to all these things is not so large as to hurt the trade of more than a dozen places.
The theory of the matter is that a man ia shaved by his valet, and that every man who can. afford to be sufficiently good form to pay attention to all fo—a things hss enough money or credit to have a valet or, if he has not a valet, to make- a bluff at it On the same assumption that his man looks after his clothes and shoss is the other assumption that his man also shavss him. No fashionable youbg man would be seen taking his clothee to hts tailor's to be pressed, and though most of them who have the creses in their trousers frequently renewed, get the work done at their tailor's, they make a pretense of haying it done by their man, and to the other duties of this man in many cases a suppositious being, is added the care ot his msster's face.
The fashion of the smooth-shaven face is said to have come from the actors. Just ss actresses influence the styles of dress of women, acton have been to a less extent influencing the apparel and appearanoe of a certain class of men. The way of wearing the hair which was prevalent a year or two ago was begun by actors. Almost all actors have smooth faces, especially almost all the actors who pose on the stage, and who attract audiences of women to admire them.
The
fashion of haying a smooth face is just ooming in, and it has not yet been taken up to a great extent. A man may sacrifice his beard, but if he has a bad mouth or face which would be harsh in outline without the Curves of his. mustache to change it, he will not abandon his present advantages quickly.

SPKINGPIELD,. IiSj, June 8.—On the last day of the session of the late legislature Messrs. Partridge, Jones and Lester were appointed a committee to approve the journal of the last day's proceedings. In looking over- the record Mr. Jones discovered that ssnatebill 293, holding insurance companies responsible for amount of premiums paid to their duly authorized agents, had received 77 affirmative votes, constitutional majority.. This 5 appeared fromxthe vote as given in detail, but the toting showed' that it haareceivedseventy-six votee and was recorded among bills that had failed, and so the matter stands to-day. The matter has been laid before the governor. He acknowledges the error, if it was an error and not something worse, butde dares he can only act on bills that have been signed by the presiding officers of both houses. The bill may yet be signed and saved. Mr. Jones will communicate with Speaker Miller and Lieutenant Governor Ray on the subject, and if they decline to sign he will apply to the supreme court for a writ pf mandamus and compel them to do BO.

The Rev. Irl B. Hicka in hia periodloal World and Works, a month ago this tine made hia forecast, tor May wsether, and, as in many former instanoss, hia predictions were verified, even to snow storms between the 17th and 24th. The following is his forecast for Jane, which is republished by request:
The 1st day of June is the center of regular storm period. It will -be very warm, with atorm forces organized and in motion near the regions where storms usually originate. By about the 3d and 4th they will have spent their forcee, and cooler weather will follow in the track. General rains and storms of greater or less violence may reesonably be expected. We name the 1st, 2d and 3d as the days of greatest probable danger.
About the 7th is a day whioh ordinarily might bring alight reactionary storma, but here summer solstice and the effect ot the planet Mare are apt to prolong the diatnrbance and provoke to greater violenoe.
About the 10th the annual solstice period begins, oontinuing as a rule past the 21st. A regular storm period is central this year on the 12tb, constituting the period 10th to 16th one of marked importance. Hard storms within this limit will be almost a physical necessity. Keep a prudent weatner eye on, ssy about the 11th, 12tb, 13th and 14th. Watch the temperature and the clonda. Warm, southerly winds and threatening olouda will mean danger. There ought to be great and general raina at thia time.
The disturbance of Jupiter and Mare are central through the whole of the solstice period this year, and will doubtlees aggravate and prolong the regular and reactionary disturbance into spells of continuous rainy weather. Mare is on the 15th, and the 17th and 18th are reactionary watch all storms on or about tll686 dfltflft
From the 22nd to the 28th is the last period for June. With the moon be tween the sun and the earth on the morning ot the 28th, the most active part of this period may come at the last. Ordinarily the danger days would fall about the 24th, 25th, and 26th. Should heavy rains and electrical Btorms by any means fall at the June periods, violent volcanic and earthquake convulsions may be expected, especially about the close of the month.
