THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday. July 30, 1874.

When a wideawake, hard working, economical young man gets tied to a lazy, dirty, schmutzenguntmuincr of a woman how can there ever he any prosperity, love or hum>iness in that Kind-of a family union? - Knox -Ledger. Give it up. But in the name of all that is decent we protest against the Ledger obtruding family matters on the public, at least before we ave through with Tilton, Mr. John O. Hardesty has soi out his interest in the Indianapolis Sun and retired therefrom. James Buchanan, Mr. Oh 1 email, Sato of the Indiana Farmer, and oho or two other parties have organized a Joint Stock Com} a: y and bought the office. It is probable an effort w ill be made to have the S /. recognized as the centra! organ of tie Independent party.

Mr. J. B. Coniter, recently pro* - prietor and editor of the Ker.timid Gazette, has gone to Indianapolis where be succeeds. Mr. Oi{*-man in .the Indiana Farmer office. Mr. Conner informed the writer that he had become very much disgusted with political affairs of late, and was glad to exchange from a polit- ! teal journal to a position on a \ paper which ignored ■ matters’ of; that character as much as possible. The Monticello Herald extravagantly states that the Democracy of Indiana have declared in favor of free whiskey, hut the tact is they favor taxed whiskey to obtain a revenue for public school purposes- j The Indiana Republican platform ; advocates a law which shall permit 1 whiskey la be. sold untaxed in any community where a majority desire it. The Democracy favors taxed whiskey: the Republicans free wlii.-key..

The Democratic Statte platforhU is silent on the -salary grab. Cause.• Dan. Vooriiees, one of the leaders of tiie grabbers, was a member of the committee on resolutions. Besides, Daniel may want Jo go to Congress again.—Logansport Journal. Why is the Republican State platform silent on the salary grab; also? .What salary grabber was a member of its committee on resolutions? Both the Republican and Democratic partics, by the silence of their platform, condone that infamy. They oonspmi—together- Co do evil. Neither should longer be trusted in legislatures or Congress.

Major Frederick F. B. Coffin, treasurer of Porter county, was in town yesterday, lie is a good nutured person who labors under the amusing hallucination that the Repnidican party of this district is hunting a candidate for Congress with a tair prospect of bagging bun as their game. Like many another coirfiding oitieeseeker the M;i jor has been drawn into a trap and not long since published a letter, which effectually extinguished whatever chances he then had lor success. It was a neat trick of the enemy, cleverly managed, and thoroughly- successful, although it is as old as the confidence games played upon unsophisticated countrymen by city sharpers-" Before the publication of that missive, the district ring, masters feared Major Coffin and , his prospects seemed, reasonably lair; but now that be has , committed himself, they feel he is completely in their power. lie is u nice man, but is entirely too guileless to successfully cope with unscrupulous -politicians.

Dr. Ha innioud and other medical gentlemen of New York recoin mo ml as a means of preventing dogs from ihnoculating persons or other animals with hydrophobia, that the canine teeth or fangs and tire incisor teeth be blunted so that it would be impossible for the animal. afflicted with rabies to bite through the skin. The manner in which the operation is done is to place between the dog’s molar’leeth a stick large enough to keep his mouth open, and fasten it in posi- . tion by means of a cord attached to both ends of the stick and passed around the animal’s head; then fasten another strap or cord around its muzzle in’front of the -stickT in such a manner that the dog cannot open its mouth get the stick out While tine dog is in this condition aud held, take * file and blunt the incisors and shorten the fangs with a pair of nippers, afterwards filing them down smoothly.. This operation does not hurt tire animal nor impair its usefulness, w hile in ease it should ever' be Stricken w ith madness it is effectually prevented from communicating the horrible malady to other animals or members of the human , family.

The Democratic State platform recommends that the office of county school superintendent hj abolished, but a. bet tec plan, would be to. have that officer elected by the" people: In much. of the legislation of the last ten or twelve years there has been a constant tendency townrds centralization of power in the hands of a Jew persons, which is contrary to tin- gonills of true Republicanism, and which some day may produce the bitterest frnits. It :s trite that during the yiermd uieueioiiod -the eleetive franchise has* been extended, but at the same time the rights of the grand aggregate have been circumscribed in many respects. The people are. just as competent, to elect one officer as another, and to elect all as a few. They are fully as competent to elect judges of the Supreme Court as they are to elect Presidents to appoint them; and it is just as safe to trust the election of County Superintendents of schools to a popular decision, as it is to trust theit appointment in Die hands of the-township trustees or county commissioners, while the Tcsnlts upon - rfro wclfare of .schools are likely to be fully as good.

Senator Logan is reported to have asked in a recent speech “If the two existing parties are corrupt and rotten, out of what class of people is the new, honest party tobe formed ?” Although a memb;r of an orthodox Christian - ohm-cli, the great Illinois Senator does not stfem to remember those terse passages of Scripture which lead) that out of the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every tiling be established, and by .the fruits thereof shall the quality of a tree be known. If there ate honest men who vote the Republican ticket, then are there corrupt men coutroling the Democratic party. If the leading Democrats are not-hars, then do wicked men prevail in Republican Council's. If those credit mobiIkr transactions, salary grabs, Sanborn- Contracts, Shepherd jobs, etc. etc., were evil fruits, then' an . —•——.... ;.~Y sJ fr: —; •' *--••• ■ evil tree produced them. If that tree, extends the ramifications of its roots into the two political parties which have controlled pub-” lie affairs for years, and if that tree drew Biistinhn.ee from’ each of those parties, then do both of them contain Corruption. Senator Logan knows, and every intelligent man who reads it knows, that his question is unfair, undignified, pettifogging. The great mass of voters who sustain either party, are no more that party than is a jury the. court. Neither are they any more responsible for party corruption than a jury would be for the corruption' of a judge, a sheriff, a clerk or the attorneys at the bar. Voters, as a body, have very little to say in making up issues, or nominating ; candidates; these preliminaries are monopolized bv individuals who really constitute the party. Parties are composed of comparatively few persons, and but a few are accountable .for party failures, party wrongs and party frauds. The mass of voters who support uther party are less liable to be. corrupt than those, who shape the,hue of party conduct- Parties rarely purify themselves, but the people may purify .the government by overthrowing old' corrupt parties and giving control of public affairs over to a new party, organized tocorrect abuses and reform evils. The interests of the Slate of Indiana demand that this shall be ckonfe at once.

It is avjth a sad heart, says the i local of the Lapoiie Argus, that we | announce our inability to fill our contracts for supplying our friends witli pickles. Our twenty months old Imj* walked into our ravishingly beautiful garden, one day last week, and deliberately pulled up every cucumber vine we had. It troubles that boy to sit down now.

The Valparaiso Vidette says that lion. T. J. Mcrrifield lias gone to a medical watering place in Michigan to try the virtues of the water to cure rheumatism in his feet. His friends hope- that an abstemious hygienic diet and the use erf spring water exclusively for drink will afford him permanent relief. Water is a tolerably fair exclusive drink anyhow, whether one has the rheumatism or not.

A Driving Park Association lias been organized at Crown Point, which lias leased, for a term of thirty-five years, a track around, the edge of Fauelier lake, sixty “feet wTde and IfalF a hlile 1 ong, that is to be graded ready for use by the Ist day of next September. Sbeds, stables, and a restaiiranL are to be erected near the grounds for the accommodation of visitors, . and the pecuniary benefit of the association.

ICis-very strange indeed for the. Kokomo Tribune to assert that Congressman Tyner “earnestly opposed the passage of the salary bill,” when the facts on record show that his voles Were in favor of a bill which has almost: ruined the I Republican party. — Indianapolis Sun.

That resolution in the Democratic: platform demanding the repeal of the County Superintendent law is a sharp dig at Superintendent Hopkins. That gentleman, although-a stanch Democrat, will take the stump in defense of the law. Being, the father of it he couldn’t consistently do otherwise. —lndianapolis Sun.

The Democratic platform favors educating all colored children in separate schools from those of whites, but the colored' are so few in this State that the -separate, schools could not be afforded— W bat folly then to forbid them the use of the free public schools with the whites; white and colored children play together freely enough, and without harm.— Valparaiso- Yidette. 7-

A letter from the indefatigable President ot the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad states hhat an- | other ten miles of road has been i put under contract, and that the I engineers will be *in Delphi some ! time next week, who will immediately be fallowed by the workmen. It seems from all the evidence we call gather, that the road will surely be built,; and it it only remains for us to say whether.it will pass through, or near our city. Delphi Jour n u/^.

The Congressional Convention of the “People’s” Party will meet in Lafayette, August 11. Archibald Johnson and J. A. Mount, of Montgomery county,,and William C. Wilson and G. S. Orth, of this county, have been named in connection Wirli the nomination, with what authority we are uliable to state. The current at present, in this locality, seems to be setting in favor of Mount, who is spoken of in terms of higlr commendation as a public speaker, and has the advantage of being .a man new to political life.— Lafayette JournaK

Railroad News.

The contract for grading twenty miles of our railroad, frdm Dyer on the State line to Lowell, in Lake -county, was let on last Thursday at Chicago, to M*. A. Halstead, ot Lowell. Arrangements have also been mnde for ironing the road, which will proceed as rapidly as the grading is done. Mr. .Salisbury, agent of the eoin-

pany for obtaining right of way and stock subscriptions in Illinois, reports complete success in obtaining right of way from the State line to the city limits. He has prosecuted the work with wonderful energy, and with remarkable success. With the option previouly obtained through the city limits, the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad Company, have a superb and independent right of way, from the Indiana liue to the Chicago river, in the heart of the city, as well as depot grounds, at a choice place. These franchises which have been obtained at a comparatively moderate cost, are worth to the company at least a million dollars. No other road in the future will enter Chicago under such favorable auspices as ours. We will run in on a neck of territory unoccupied by railroad, which will be greatly enhanced ift value by the building of the road. Mr. Salisbury, having secured the right of way, has entered vigorously into the work of obtaining stock subscriptions along the line in Cook county, Illinois, and gives assurance that a—consul era b 1 e amount can be raised. As soon as he has completed this work which will require perhaps a few weeks, it is understood that the Illinois portion of the road will be let, and built this season. This would give j us this fall railroad connections 1 from Chicago to Lowell, a distance of about 43 miles, without considering how much further tlie work might be extended before winter. It is also understood that as soon as the engineer has located the line to Lowell, which will require the balance of this week at least, he will go to Delphi, and locate the Wabash bridge and approaches, I and make the necessary specitica- | tions for letting the stone work of the bridge. It may he assumed then that the work will be very shortly commenced in earnest, both at Dyer and Delphi, and prosecuted successfully.— Monticello Herald.

Death by Hydrophobia.

Three weeks age the Argus published an account of the manner'in which Mrs. Ragan, of this city, was bitten by what was supposed to be a rabid dog. The Jady was bitten on the Ist day of July, and was severely wounded both, on the = face and arm. Drs, Stevensbirahd Meeker were called, and, fearing the dog was rabid, they took especial caution to attend carefully to dressing the wounds; they were scarified, cupped and cauterized.— The patient was carefully attended by Dr. Stevenson, and the wounds healed in a perfeciy natural manner. In about one week the patient was as well as ever, and reported that she was feeling unusually -well.— She had come to the conclusion that the dog was not rabid and apparently had no fears of hydrophobia; this state of affairs continued uninteruptedly up to last Sunday, the 19th instant, when she experienced a loss of appetite, and bean to show a slight nervous excitement. These symptoms were followed by a light diarrham and the nervousness increased in a noticeable manner. She would suddenly start when comparatively quiet, and was troubled with frightful dreams wheu Steepiiig^J l —" At about 8 o’clock Sunday evening she had a slight paroxysm. The members of the family were up with her all night and chuing the paroxysms, which occured once in fifteen or twenty minutes, she would beg to be held to prevent her injuring herself or her atteiidents.— Early Monday morning Dr. Stevenson was called and found the patient with feeble circulation and general prostration.” She complained of considerable pain in the back ofthe neck and sufferedgrently fronrxcontraction of the larynx and almost total inability to swallow anything. She was perfectly, rational all the time but was very sensitive to. a current of air, the direct rays of light or the sight of water; either of which would at once throw her into a spasm. Such remedies as are suggested by good judgement and the best authors were administered but the effects was not noticeable. Chloroform was given and seemed to aggravate the case. The patient suffered the most indescribable mental terror and nervous excitement. Beside the attending physician _Drs; Meeker, Iligday, Andrew, Fahnestock, Eliel and Bowers called to see the unfortunate woman, and, we believe, without exception pronounced it a well developed and unmistakable case ot ■ hydrophobia. Injections of morphine had no effect and it speedily became Impossible for her to swallow _any thing, owing to the

contraction of the muscles of the throat. Nothing could be given to relievo her/ for a moment, 4nd she suffered toward the last with almost constant paroxysms which grew more and more violent until one o’clock Tuesday afternoon, whan she died. Her death was * one of the most horrible imaginable, and was p/obably as perfectly a developed case of hydrophobia as was ever known. —Laporte Argus.
