JIc resorted to a very curious and at tin same time a very exiieusivu device. Kidderminster, as is well known, is the great carK t center of Kngland. Mr. ;rnt, seeing that his constitucms were divided between tho-e who made care ts and those who used them, determined to conciliate both, in order to get the sutlrage- of all. His lirtt move was to buy up all the cariH-t iu tho platx-, sit an advance of ten s rcent. over the market pri(es. Tliis won the manufai'turers mid oiK-rsttors to his side. Then he turned round and sol I his stock on hand at ten tier cent, lower than the mai kel iirives. This brought the consum er to Ins supiMtrt. He w as 'leetvl by a handsome majority, of course. Hut there wvms to le some objection to this style ot electioneering, judging irom the haii'b souie majority iu Parliament by which Mr. Grant wiis de'lared not cntitle to a seat. 4Mla aikI Kitila. The bite of a man is said to bre l hy drophobia, but tliis news won't diminish the iinmtter of couples who coo over the gate a tins evening shadows lurk in the cherry tree. A Michigan girl was killed by light ning while picking feathers for her niiitial pillow. This seems lo Iks a fair Wiirning to those young lad.es who sire too proud to sleep on com husks. Y'nung ladies subject to nervous debility in summer ought to be wan of taking too much exercise. They should, as much as possible, Jie quietly upon the sola and suffer their mothers to fan them. A country man took his seat at a hotel table opposite to a gentle aiau w ho was in(bilging in a bottle of wine. Supposing the wine to fie common proerty, our unsophisticated country friend helMsl himseii io u wiin me gentleman s glass. " That's cool !" exclaimed the ow ner of the w inc. in lignantly. " Yes." replied the other ; " 1 should' think there was ice In it." "John Paul," who has had diver-ilied experiences with dogs, writes from his home to the Tributtr. He mentions that he wsis bitten on the esir once by a canine, sine' which time he apcars to have suffered much, not from the bite, but from Mrs. ptl ui. He says : " She Is gged that 1 world send for the doctor at once and have my ear cut oil', declaring that if I did not she should not have a moment's c:icc. Arbitrarily, itcrhaps brutally, I declined to gratify her. In consequence, I have not vet had the bliss of know ing what it is to Ixiiind gaily through life with a leather ear. It may be that the cx rieiicc i-still destined to lie mine, however, for since this mad-dog excitement rcsichcd Its present j height, Mr. p;ml frequently asks me it 1 i tii-l no symptoms. I cannot scratch the back of my head without her placing a bucket of water licforc me to see if 1 show signs of loiling." There w ns an old couple at the Central deiot yesterday waiting to go through to the West, and ihcy seemed loving enough until the obi mau wciit o it and returned smoking a livc-ent cigar, and with his hat si lining over his left ear. The wile looked at him twice before she could recognize him. and then oie ncd her mouth and said: " What'd I t -II voii. Philctus Kemington Is: fore we 'eft Sew Jersey? Didn't I say you'd go and make a fool of yourself tin til t chance you got?" He tried to pacify her hy ss'vlng that the cigar only cost rive cents, but she shouted: " Y'oil tensed and teased till I let you git your IsKits blacked : then you wanted some soda-water ; then you bought apples on the train, and here's another live cents thrown away! It all counts up, and if you don't die in the poor-house then my name hain't Sary !" Some time ago sotnclody or something mentioned that Chicago was admirably locatitl for a summer rcsrt. '1 hey were right. There l no place on the broad earth w here summer n'sorts more or longer than in Chicago. Morn, ihmui, and night the biecze blow oft" the heated plain. Milling and almost unbearable. Pest is imossible. Nfking out a cool spot for a siesta, no sooner d's t ne wearied man sink into slumber than the festive fly promenades his passive features, waking him to misery and profanity. Daydreams of iceberg and frozen wax vanish at the pound of "hot w allles!" To paraphrase the scriptural saying, summeris a mock cry and hot weather is raging. And at night the thermometer, emulative of the comet's altitude, mounts upward stepping on thecighties. touching the nineties, and resting on the hundred -like Mercury on a heaven-kissing hill." Then the nimble mtisquito tunes his horn ami like a dun prc-cnts his little bill. The tugmeii in the riversound their whistles, and the cat's contralto joins, the concert. So through the long night the summer round drive "tired nature's sweet restorer" from the weary imtsoii's couch until rosy dawn. and the agile fly heralds the advent of a new day. Inter-Ocean. Km ha I in in;. A Loudon journal, discussing the sub ject of embalming, present some statements which seem to show that the application wf heat to I m (dies tilled w ith bitumen was the essential part of the Kgyptian mummifying process that, In fact, the mummies owe their preservation to cresote, formed by the application of great beat to the bitumen. It apicar that all the sutstanccs found within mummies are of a resinous na'.urv, but their mens introduction Into the gresit cavities of the Ixslv, along with external lotions of wine, would answer the purpose of embalming, seems contrary to fact. Many, if not all the mummies, have their inii-cular tissue impregnated with resinous matter; most an aWo blackened and burned, and iu some the tissues have leen reduce to ashes. 1 he inner bandages are generally iu a state resembling tinder; and as it eeins iib-urd to suppose that the application of heat was without some practical object, a rational conclusion Is that, by means ol it, the body became Impregnated with ( rcosote, derived from the decomposition of the bitumen and bandages with which it w as previously covered.

It (sought the control ot every newspaper in Wsi-bington except one, and all this exs'iiditure could not delay Ids late an hour. It is ju-t the same with a gnat many gentlemen in Congress. They have not, indeed, attempted to buy the press, but they arc trying to terrify it into silence. They have passed a law of libel w hich exposes every journsilist who criticises the conduct of a Congressman to the danger of (M'ing haled under arrest to Washington and tried by a court w hicli depends upon Congress lor its existence.

Hut Congress will fail just as Tweed and Shepherd did. The press is formida ble to incse men only so tar as it is the representative of an indignant public; and Mes.rs. Cariienter, Conklhig and their as. sociate can no more suppress the voice of an angry and outraged community than tney can dam up iagara. v 1th some vl olence pcrhsips, with smc iistrti-au ran cor, with occasional exaggemtion and ernr, and with unncccessary coarseness of invective, the press has nevertheless dis charged its duty with substantial honesty ami disinterestedness, and tlie w hole coun try knows it, the whole country except the few nu n in Washington who" ure suf fering under the lash of public opinion. Kvery disinterested observer of nflairs can see the igns .f :l great popular uprising against the corruption in office, the base ness of olitical warfare, the scandals of public life, the unholy thirt for iraiii. the looseness of financial morals which have so long disgraced s in the eyes of the world.

The Instance which came under the observation of the Tmt rcorter Involved a case ot Imaginary hydrophobia. The victim to his ow it conceit In this cae was a well known citizen of Carrollton. lie had U en reading Hlout hydrophobia, a recently developed hi New' York, and the

impression made tilled his mind with frightful pictures of mortal agony. lie then read a portion ot a medical work on the subject when instantly he begone seized with the earlier symptoms of the disease. His aversion for water was almost inaiiiacsd. and the sight of a dog would throw him into the most repulsive convulsion. Alter the lir-t outbnsik be was quieted, hut still he wa absorled in the horrible fantasies created by the imagination. The morning sucm-ding the day of his llrst attack, he arose from Ids N-d with a wild and haggard expression, and Mused to taste food or drink. After a time he became very excitable, and a twitching of the muscles once more Ik'trayed the Mrength of the linpresln made on his fancy. This wa Ids condition for two successive day and nights; during which time sleep never vidted hi eyes, and he rolled in bis bed like a madman. The slightest circumstance would frighten him almost into convulsions, and if only a tly approached Ids hs-d lie would shriek like one imisscsmsI. On the third dav lie wa Induced to et miido frolt. and remained quiet for a few hour, w hen his muscle again begun to twitch, and he threw himself on the floor, where lie snsirled and harked like a dog. Having lieer, again nuiftcd, some medicine was offered him. but it wa oi ly alter violent struggling that he was forced to allow it, and he then fell into spa-ins till a thick and snow-white froth gathered on hi lip. Another night of sleeplessness and fearf ul agonv paed away, and the morning found him somewhat improved, ltuthis old aversion for food, or anything of a liquid character, wa still extant, and two negro boy wen- constantly in the room with tly brushes keeping tin? flies away. Some purgative medicine was again omt iiMn him. which threw him once in on into spasm that raised a foam on his mouth. This spam, however, was of short duration, and was succeeded by a nervous calm. lb- wa then taken to the house of a friend, but in Ids passage through the street the twiting of the muscles was again revived, and cure had to lc taken that nothing canine or aqueous came within range of bis vision. During tliis time his countenance presented a M--uliarly weird expression, but was full of an "apparent uuxietv. lie ejected saliva from bis tongue verv fre(luently. and his skin wa hot and dry a tliough it had Im- n part bed. From the day of bis first visit to his friend's house he Itcgan to improve gradually, and with the n-si-tam-' of chloroform, occasionally snatched a refreshing (deep. In four days subsequently he could venture on the street unattended, hut still displayed a restlessness ami a slight symitom of tiervou disorder.
