We print,'this morniDg, a very in teresting letter from Prof. Richard Owen, of our State University, giving his views and the result of his investigations as to the probable effica cy of mad stones. During the past year the papers have been filled with accounts of the ravages of ma'dtJogsf and the,, wonaertul and astounding cures that have been effeeted by th6 application of mad stones. It is inr teresting, therefore, to" ascertain the views'of one of our most eminent scien tific men on the disputed 'question. While Prof. Owen is , careful not to say that no cures have been : effected by mad stones, it is evident he' is very skeptical on that point. ' Anqtlipr Glimpse " of the Coming Dawn. Our cotemporary, the Courier, was greatly elated during the," canvass of the last city election at what it sup posed wa3 a faint glimmer of the dawn of a glorious .Democratic triumph; but the morning after the election the prospects for the defunct party swere asi dark; and gloomy as cci,,.,fuc , uiug ui uic uay i, was again- deferred'" But " we learn . its issue of yesterday :that a glimpse or tne ignis jaiuus vt jLemocratic victory has again illumined the visual

organ of the bewildered and despondent leaders. It is utterly opposed to the "Dog Ordinance" passed by the City Council. ".It says it is " creating a great excitement in the city;" that "it is manifestly, uDjust, and should be repealed." It claims that it is positively contrary to the interests and prosperity of the city, and will result in great inconvenience to its citizens.' "And," lest its assertion may be taken as a wild statement or be

attributed to party malice, it backs it np with a citation of facts (which are stubborn things), among which it gives, as one of the alarming consequences of the ''Dog Ordinance," the frightful increase and "rapid growth of . rate," which have actually grown to such giant proportions as ,to. be taken for cats! " ' '."-nk -'i i : The invasion of these enormous rats threatens to. prove a greater ' plague than the locusts, the-lice, or the frogs of E?ypt.and by the aid of this fortuijtouseye"nt and. on account of the wicked tyranny and "indiscretion of "the Cjty .PatKers." thereNis taking place, a great. pol'tfcaT reaction1 in' the , 'miodrpf c itizens, 'Sad the Courier is certain .thitimi that- " the day is breaking for the Democracy." It states boastjfully and explicitly that " the advocates of the law will find a political grave jaUhe next election" However much we most deplore the result, we cannot refrain from congratulating our cotemporary on the highly appropriate platform which.it has adopted for the next city campaign. It has been following so many Jack-o-lan-terns in the shape of every dodge and ism bo-looal issu" wmen tne futile brains of political tricksters could invent ; and failed in all. - We are glad to know that it has taken the Dog for its champion, and, under the cry of persecution to the noble brute, and the known antipathy which exists in the human species against-Hats, espe cially the large one, the Courier flatters itself and its Democratic readers that- there; is a ;brilUantpropep rtf Victory at tne city election oi 1000. llenceforth the glorious old Democ racy will be known as the Dog Party, and its rallying "cry will " be "Down with the Itats !" " THE MAD STOVE SCIENTIFICALLY tOXSlDEKED. 'Letter from Prof. Richard Owen. State University, "I VERSITY, , , ) )N, Indiana; ' V May 20, 18G7. j ULOOMLNGTON, F. M. Thayer, Esq. : Dear Sir : In reply to your favor of the ICth inst., asking' me to give some account of the counterpart to a so-called mad stone, now in Vie Uni versity Museum, 1 take pleasure in stating all I know on this subject, and regret 1 have not more tacts. Two prominent physicians of this place, about a year since, sent, at the urgent solicitations of a family here, to Mrs. Baugh, formerly a resident of Bloominsiton, but . now residing - in Valparaiso, for a mad stone, which had been many years in her family. and had, as alleged, been frequently used with success m the cure ot bites inflicted by rabid animals. : The testi mony ot persons m tnis place goes to show that in several instances, when applied, it adhered so firmly for a time to the wounded limb v that the stone did not drop off when the limb was in a horizontal positicfn, and that it had on several occasions been supposed to effect a cure. V hen the stone arrived on the above occasion, by express, the two physicians showed it to me, and, as I had at the time been studying recent corals, I stepped into an adjoining room where they were, and brought out one so much like the mad stone? that the two could' scarcely be dislinguished apart. This coral is of the genus astrea, and even the species coincide so entirely, that the number of septa, when counted under a powerful lens, proved to be precisely the same. 1 he form ot both is conical, and the base of the University specimen ' had been ground by Prof. Wylie. who first had observed the resem-ij blance. . ' , ; 7 : In this case, the Valparaiso stone" was applied to- the ; bite, . some " weeks ' after it had been inflicted, but would ; not adhere. The dog had been shot. U DUt is supposea Dy tnose wno saw mm not to have been rabid, and the. gentleman experienced no further inconvenience after the wound healed. Not having seen the mad stone alluded to in the article you sent me, viz.: that owned by Mrs. Taylor, of Terre Haute, and another by W. Bundy,-of Hancock County, I cannot say that they are the same. Indeed, from the description, they seem different. . In the New York Druggist's Circular and Chemical Gazette, an account is given of the discovery of a supply or .maa stones, (although the state-4 ment afterward. is made , that it is a vegetable .and pot a mineral ..subr. staritie,) found 'in Southern Virgiriiaand similar iu enaructer to one noted "is the "Ponto 'fctone,: vsaid to. have performed s great cure&.u An-other statement. m a 'different .number of a 'ditterCnt .number rthe same paper, claiaW (ri the madstone las the correspondent' ays, un-! der instruction received from the Indians,) is what he terms " that part of

a deer called i the rennet.". The rennet of a calf" used Tor making cheese, is the .stomach, with some miik coagulated, by the gastric juice of the animal, dried and kept in dairies. As the deer is a ruminating animal, this may be whalf the Writer- designs, to designate. If so, this and the above descriptions would seem to indicate that-those;; several . articles claiming to be mad stones are entirely different substances; one a recent coral, another a vegetable, and & third of animal Origin.' " ". ' - ". Of course wUH "such varied material, and often conflicting testimony,, it is difficult to arrive at, positive conclusions; but, as far as my observation and information extend, I should incline to the following summary: ' , '- 1, .That there is no uniformity in the material usually called mad stone. -Tha.t in many instances, there Was no virus of rabid animal present when the virtue of the "stone was

tested. .... . 3. That in most , instances, .other remedies -were used aftl.e same time. 4. Thatpo3sib"y..theTmad stone I havrsecntaiht "actriieclianieally to some extent,, in ab&orb'ngna3."t is re--niarkably pbroua; or, possibly, chemieallyyasitis a carbonate of lime, and1 mo yirtis i$( 'acid.j .a.o Hce -might combine with the1 Iime, displacine the c4rrWn4e-te,Trd-th,arthe--riras bcr neutralised. qTq ctj thasI Jfihould think, howeveri ifwould be absolutely necessary to applye s,tpne immediately, becamse the finis, wrien once absorbed, intp- the, ystejn,-' could be witrrdrawil oiily ' with ' diffidultyr ir at " H .... ' , j . if Some.anay ask,-; in this connection, how the use of enough alcohol to intoxicate can overcome the effects from the bite of thf rattlesnake.

"" . .' ; Another suggestion, 1 have,to make is, that the 'adhesive ( character of lymph 1fWm'ftwoutid "misrhf cause a porous stone to .' adhere- if applicrd 1 soon,(even it 15 did not absorb , .virus. t':Fvom. all, the., testimony .L.tiavei I wowld rather risk immediate-suction, cutting outth infected prtj actual cautery (bufnin'g witlfannron,) or the application of ajjimryi ia r.j- a poultice Of tobacco and so.'in. and thfi trial nf I brMifdVof Was sium, than to depen! 3J upon the supposed virtoes of any mad stone. lr; however, the patient has greatfaith.ini theda, itis 'always .well to quiet the,neEVOusy$teailt by? using one, if it 'can be obtained- : ( , , a n -jr i ,,; Yours respectfully , ..;..:.''!'.'ICH.ABDOwEr." .'
