Chbicago will hereafter agaiu control the through trafiic to California, and the high hopes and energetic efforts of St. Louis to take this trade away from us have como to nonght. The wrr o long going on beiween the Union Pacific Pailroad Company and tie three Iows lines of this city has at last been settled, although by this gcttlement the three Iowa lines are left out in tne cold, snd MMr. E. P. Vining, the General Froight Agent of ‘the Union Pacific Railroad, tas venquished them in a gallantly-fought sontest. As long as Mr. TVining was iscriminating against this city in favor of St. YLouis, ho could expect nothing from our people, tut now that ho has abandoned his nnwise posi— tion and has decided to ship again exclusively +ia Chicago, our people will be the first to con- gratulato him on bis success in breaking up the monopolizing pool of the thres Clicago ronds running to Omaba. IN THE FIRST FLACE, # must be understood that heretofore all the California freight business Las becn_controlled Chicago, Burlincton & Quiney, Chicago, Rock Island_& Pacific, snd Chi- csgo & Northwestorn Railrosds. These threo lines, known 28 the Yowa lines, all runto Omeha, and for the purpose of avoiding competition and tomske rates to suit themselves, they pooled their California earnings, thue establishing one grezt monopoly. THE RESULT OF THIS Pook was that rates to_Omaha were much higher in proporticn than the rates to Atchison, Kansas City, St. Joscph, and Leavenworth. gising these aities an edvantage over Omaha. As the Union Pacific has a great interest in_the prosperity of Omahs, the officers of the road were greatly op- posed to the pool =and did all they conild to break it up, but without evail. Laat winter the Jowa lines demanded that the Uuion Pacific ehould pro-rate with them, or elso they would cease to carry through freights to the Union Pacific. They were confi- dent_they could compel the Union Pucific to sccedo to their demands, 8 they comsidered themselves able o control all the connections of the Union Pacific. But this road, although bard pressed, made a gellant fight, and man- 2zcd to get its freights via other jines, but made A GREAT MISTAKE in discriminating sgainst this city in favorof Bt. Louis, Tho Munagers of tho Union Pacific bave at last secn the folly of such action, and bave now made arrangements with the Chicago & Alton Railroad to carry their through freights. THE NEW ROUTE will be by the Chiczgo & Alton to Hannibal, thence by the Hannibal & St. Joe to St. Joseph, sod thence via the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroed to Fort Kearney, on tho Union Pacific Railroad. The Managers of the Chicago & Alton Railroad deserve great credit for thus appreciating the situation, which hes been eo defrimental to the interests of Chicago. Had they not come to the rescue, the large and Frofitable business paseing between California xnd the East would uadoubtedly bave been gob- glod wp by some of the cross lines, The Canads Boathern, the Toledo, Wubkeh & Western, and the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroads were very ‘anxious to gel this business si the rates refused by the Towa lines: M. JAMES €3ITH, the General Freieht Agent of tke Chicago & Alton Eailroud, i6 pow - et Omaha perfectivg the arrangements for tho pow_ through route via Louisiann Bt. Joseph and Fort Kearney, with Ar. E. P. Viciug, the General Freight Azent of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Michigan Central and the Erie Railrcads are spoken of a8 the lines which will earry the freights to and from the East from 1his city. it . MISCELLANFOUS. ‘BEDUCTTONS OF RATES. Mr. Lowis Viele, the General Freight-Agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacitic Rail- road, s issned s now local tariff, which is & Te- duction of about 25 per cent on the old rates. 1t will go into effect on the 25ch.

BUIT AGAINST THE TNION PACIFIC, Special Duspatch to The Ciicago Iribune, New Yok, April 23.—Tmtiatory steps were fekien vesterday, in » suit in_the Suprems Coure of this city, in which Millard M. Simpson is tho plaintiff apd the Union Pacific Railroad Com- paoy, Jay Gould, Sydney Dillon, and others, are defendants, to compel tho latter defendants, as elockholders, to make & psyment of the sub- sriptions to the stock to meet the claims of creditors. The plaiotiff aczks for an in- unction to restrain the tranefer by responsi- e parties of tha record to persons not able to respond, fo: par of the stock. Only 0,000,000 aro involved in this suit. Tho com- Ylinant alleges that the Company first borrowed ‘me 10,000,000 of money on ‘‘income bonds,” 22d made them e lion on all their property after the first mortgage and the land-grant lands, but eglected to record tho deed of trust by which s lien was created, and now proposes to bor- Tow $16,000,000 more, and to give & mortgaze that &hall cut off the lenders on the ‘“‘incomo bonds,” wwho supposed that they held a deed of trust to secura their loan. g It is belioved that this is a stock-jobbing trick ighed to depress the pricé of the stock.

LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE MINSTRELS IN A NEW PIECE, - ENTITLED ‘* THE SMUGGLERS.” The Arlington, Cotton & Kemble Minstrels, assisted by one or two frionds, gave o matinea yesterdsy afternoon in the office ef United States Commissioner Hoyne. The troupe was represented by Jobn L. Surridge, John A. Kem- ble, Benjamin Cotton, Edward Quinn, Willism Courtright, John Martin, and Frank Hildreth. The friends were William Keatlng, who keops bar at Chapin & Gore's, and Matthew Loman, who performs the same beuneficent office at the Clifton House. Commissioner Moyne called attention to the fact that two members of tho troupe, C. Kleist end R. Halley, who were interested in tho mati- noe performance, werc nét present, but Ben Cotton explained their absence by announcirg, “ Dey's gone a fishin' on dor Kall-u-met,” an ex- planation which elicited roars of laughter from the bystanders. District-Attorney Glover, who acted 88 right-hand end-man of the company, opened the fun by remarking to middle-man Cotton: *Say, Ben, what 18 yer a giine to do 'bout dem Canada coats, eh; 'specs ye'll had to bo fined 29,000 Yah, yab, yah!” To which the esble Benjamin responded: * Gor- amighty, Mr. Glabber, J3 frightens der life ont ob me, free thousaud 'dollars for buyin'a eight dollar pair of Canada pants an' s summer ober- cont, an’ one or two summer soots, an’ a trifle ob underclothing an’"— Hore the sonorons voice of left end-mau Hoyne broke in with_ tho an- nouncement thet Joln 1. Kemble woduld sing tho pathetic ballad of ‘*The Smugglod Vest- ments ™ tothe tune of * Disic.” r. Kemble diepleyed 5o much emotion that he was unable get further on than the first verse, which ran a8 foliows: Dar kem 3 man from de land ob snowa An’ gold us ol some Canads clotles 8o cheap, 60 cheap, 60 cheap, 5o chesp. He closed one eye us Light's a ciam, An’ whispercd, * Lot’s fool Unclo Sam S0 neat, 50 neat, Bo neat, £0 neat, Chorus by {he company. But we wish we badn’t fooled him, e do, we do. We bought those clothes and with our woes Long since in vala we've struggled, For coetsy au’ pants, an’ Loots, au’ vests were cmug- gled. The rest of the song is even moro pathetic than the first verse, End-man Hoyne then propounded the the fol- lowing conundrum to Mr. Cotton : **Say, Brad- der Ben, why is you mibetrels partic'ly unhappy in your relations with clothiera ?” Ben's answer camo prompt and terse, * Gubs it up.” * De- case,” said Brudder Hoyne, “you fust ob all ets into the hauds of the Cauads tailor and len into de hands ob a Chicago Glover.” The applause which greeted this sally wis 80 uproarious that the United States Judges, tho Clerks of the United Stotes Court, the Collector, and other magnates of the building, came rush™ ing into the room where they staid daring the remainder of the performunce. The next thing on the bill was a sentimental eong by Ben Cot- ton, which, by dint of frequent use of & pocket handkerchiof, be was enabled to sob his way through. The song was elightly altered by “tho author” Bobby Newcome, from ono written somd time since by *the author,” Tommy Moore. The minstrel boy to the jail has gone, At Commissioncr Hogue's you'll nnd him A Canzda vest encircles Lis breast, A smuggled cost hangs behind him, “Land of snows,” cried the burnt-cork bard, “This overcoat {5 a Leauty, And the fun of the thing is, it came tome Without the expense of duty.” The minstre! dyed both the vestand coat Slry-blue, but the thin illasion (stc. ad o) At tho conclusion of tho song End-man Hoyne cxplained that, in order to produce & more stir- ring potic effect, the minstrol had been depicted s Ianguishing in chalne, which was not, of coursy, the case, they all having becn bailed out. After one or_two ciher cXciting conundrums and pathetic bullads npropos of the subject which had called tho troupe together, End-man Glover wound up with a neat littlo speech, as follows: ‘- Gentiomen, it is undoubtodly truo that economy 18 ove of the first laws of nature, but when economy is practiced at the expense of the nation's dues it bocomes a crime. You can chooee one of two courses,—eitlier wait until your case comes_befora a Grand Jury nand etand yoar trial, or allow an information to be filed against you, which will Loth expedite and facili- tate matters. The amount of the fine imposed in this case will probably be S50 apiece, but, if tho taker of the orders could be secured, the fine in his caee would be very scvere.” The minstrels decided that the latter course ‘was preferable to tho former, and lett the Court together. Commissioner Hoyne stated that the total amount of f{ine and costs in each case would be about £90, and that he had heard {t etated thas the troupe was in future to be known by the name of **Hoyne & Glover's Minstrel Troupe.” e TEMPERANCE. The Tirst Congregational Church, corner of Ann and Washington streets, was three-fourths filled Iast evening by a bighly-respectsble audi- ence, convened in the interests of temperance by the ladies of the Weet Division. Thero was very liitlo enthuciasm menifested during tho proceedings, altbough the fairer and moro im- prescionable element of creation was in an overwhelming majority. Mrs. Case presided, and was attended on thio platform by soveral very handsome ladics. I D. PATTON. The first epenker introduced was Mr. H, D. Patton, was delivered v somowhat tedious nd- dress, showing, or trying to snow, that the Epirit of the Lord pervaded the temperance -move- thberefore, it could not fail. t of God, he gaid, they could accomplish nothing. As they bad enlisted in the movement, thoy should keep their tlag flying in the teeth of all opposition, eatisfied that the power which called him ont to wrestle with Satan would not desert them in the crisis of the battle. [Applause.] After sonme excollent music by the organist, and & hymn by the Temperance Quartet, Aliss Florn Woodhouse, o very pretty and intalligent child, recited a littlo poem on_ *‘Tomperance,” which was admirably delivered, and produced some enthusiasm. JUDGE MOORE then addreseed the meeting, heving first been loudly calied upon. He apologized for being unprepared to speak a8 he could wieh upon the occasion, but he thought that there wonld be very little gained by secking to curb the saloons until society was first thoroughly remodeled. Drinking should be made odious in the commu- nity, and the people of to-day ehould work upon the minds of the rising generation—tho boys and the girls—so that alcohol might become abhor- rent to their natures. When that was accom- plished then the ealoon-keeper, tho ssmple-room- man, 2nd the whisky-vendor would be powerless to do harm, for the very effective reason that they would bave no patrons. [Great applause.] That was the true way in which to conguer, and that was the only logical manner in which the great enemy of mankind could boe eszailed and Tanguished. [Applause.] JUDGE GOOEINS was next introduced, and roiterated all his former eloquent argumenta in favor of temperance, in- terlarding bis diecourse with numerous charac- teristic anccdotes, which caused & good deal of hilarity. MONET. Mrs, Corse then came forsard and, ¥n a very low voice, appealed for somo aid,—financial, of course,—as the movement could not be expected to prosper successfully otherwise. Some benevolent gentlcman took charge of the boxes, and quite a liberal respanse was made. After an address from Dr. Kittred; further music, vocal and instrument: ing adjourned. and some the meet- e *GAMBLING CONTRACTS.” It will be remembered that about two weeks ago Judge Blodgett, of the United States Dis- trict Court, in the Cbandler caze, decided that « puts,” or contracts, are wagers, bat that while bedid mottntend to be understood as holding that every option contract for the delivery of grain or stock, ‘or that every * put ™ was heces- sarily void, yet the contracts undor considera- ton, in the light of the testimony befors the in their essential features, gam- 51%'3?;0:5’;"3,.. the parties when they e them did not intend to deliver the grain, but only at the utmost to settle the differencea. Board of Trade operators, and in fact every man who sells for future delivery was interested in thst decision, which, if sustained the highor courts, will create a revelution inthe mode of transacting nearly every kind of b ness. Somowhat similar to this decision is the 180th section of the new Criminal Code of fhe Eb‘:‘?e‘c'&fl will 'go lutdo effect on July 1. As ction i8 of considerable impartan: quote it, as follows: L i Gambling in Grain, ete.—~Whoover contracts to have 0{ give to himself or aucther the option to sell or buy at a future time any grain, or othar comniodity, stock of any railroad, ‘or other compuny, or gold, of forestalla the market by spreading false rumors tg in fluence the price of commodities theretn, or corners tho market, or attempta to do 50, in relation to any of Euch commodlities, shall bo fined not less than $17 T1Or more than £1,000a0r confined in the County Jail ot excoeding one year. or both; snd all coniracts made in violation of this section shall be conxidered gambling contracts, and ghall bo vaid. g THE CITY HALL. The city collections depovited with the Treas- urer yestorday sn:canted to $19,956.84, and the water taxes to £1,462.54. A meoting of the Committce on Gas Lizhts of the Common Council is called for to-morrow afternoon, at the office of the City Clerk. Sanitary Superintendent Miller returned te the city yestorday morning, after o week's recreation at the house of his parents, in Indiana, As there is to bo a specinl meoting of the Com- mon Conncil this evening to consider the reporta of committocs and unfinished buaincss, the fol- lowing committecs will meot in the afternoon and discuss their references: Streets and Allevs (South Divisfon), Btrcota and Allays (Wost Di- vision), Bridowell, Wharves and Publio Grounds, Judiciary. The last-named Committoe will meet at Ald. Richardson's office, Ashland Block, as the City Clerk's oflice cannot afford the necessary accommodation. The Police Commissioners have been notified by the Board of Public Works to roport to that body the number of new hydranta that will bo needed during the coming year, 8o that seloc- tions may b made, and estimates propared snd sent to the Council. It is doubtful if the Com- missioners will cowply, a8 they do not want to be charged for hydrants for which the Board of Public Works will collecta tsx from street sprinklers. The Commissionors claim the char- ter privilogo of selecting their own bydraats, when any are needod. A morning paper is making a desperate at- tompt to_have B appear that the oull; topic of conversation in and around tho City Hall 1s the alleged inoficiency of the Law Department. Mr. Cameron, the Assistant City Attorney, was esterday branded a8 aa unworthy officer bocauge 0 had tho temerity to dofend a penniless actross who sued Frank Lawlor, of the Globo Theatro, for a debt of 815 for salary. The poor woman did not have enough moncy to engage alawyer, and, at the roguest of one of her friends, Mr. Cameron devoted his-dinner hour to looking after her interests, and obtaining & Ijudgment for ber. Al the talk about the city's law-officers is only s tempest in a teapot, which receives no attontion whatover from those acquainted with the facts in the case. THE MAYOR ON THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. A roporter vesterdny asied thio Mayor what be thought of Grant's veto in its effect upon the city. o The Mayor—The President has made a mis- | take, which I can only explain by supposing that ha had committed himsolf to the return to spe- cie puyments. I fecl that tho business men of Chicago would breatho freer if this financial strain wers tessened by Congressional action. As @ bosiness man, myself, [ fecl 80 Vory materially. It is only the peo- plo’ wno bave moncy to lend . mt the East who oxpect to receive usurious {nterest from us who nced the monoy to do bus- iness with, who will applaud the action of Gen. Grant. I feel strongly that thero is not enough money in the country to do our business, Iam sure Chicago will suffer 8s much as any place in America. Our merchants, who have to pay large renta and heavy salaries, eannot afford to give 10 per cent interest on Eastern capital. Business does not pay like that hero. What will bo tho result? Why rents must como down aund salaries with them, so thatall ciasses of our community must suffer. Reporter—Don't you think thers is a chance that Congress will paes the bill over the veto? ; The Mayor—The Senate will never do it, I Reportor—Yon don't apprehend any serious results to Chicago busicess from the killiug of the bill 2 Tho Mayor—Wo must take our chences on that; but cortainly its defeat does not make our prospects look s particls too enconrnging. I hiave been educatod to beliove in specio, but the necessities of the timos call for a2 expansion of tho money-system. His Honor related some anecdotes by way of illustrating the monetary difliculties of other times, and gaid, in conclusion, that Gen. Grant had taken s stop which would eause profound diseatisfaction not slone to Chicago, bus throughout the Northwest. LOUIS WAIL'S ALLEGED RESIGNATION. A visionary morning paper recently started a rumor to the effsot _that Mr. Louis Wahl, Com- missionor of the board of Public' Works, wae about to resign his position in disgast. That Mr. Wabl is disgusted with the place-hant- ing crowd which has been ruuning Lim half to death since his_ nccession to ofico mobody denies, not even tho party most interested. There are abous 10,000 appiicants for the very few places at the disposition of the Board, and Mr. Wahl is altogether unusod to the persistency of the gennine piace-beggar. Tho latter knows neither shame nor satiety. DBaffed in one attempt, he still makes another, and assails the unfortunate great man with whole volumes of petitions kigued by Aldermen whose signatures aro, for the most part, illegible, fortunstely for themselyes. Afr. Wahl was moro than ordinarily bored by office-seekers on Monday, and, in the hearing of a Times reportor, gave vont to some of hia imps- tience, amoug other things throatening to resign. A reporter of THE ToinusE saw the gentlomen yosterday, and learuad from him thaz ho had no present 1ntention of doing anything of the kind. Hie business, it was true, required much atte tion, but there was nothing in the immediate future which pointed to resigoation. He was, Towever, infinitely sick of the ofice-hunters and therr friends. Mayor Colvin stated that Mr. Wahlwas too much'of = gentleman not to notify him in case Lo intended to vacete the Chair of the Bosrd. He was positive that Mr. Wakl was not going to Fivoup just then—in fact, he did not beliove that the Commissioner even serionsly thought of resiguing. He regarded Mr. Wahl a3 & vory use- {ful man— man of influence, of good judgment, and of the bighost standing in the community, Mr. Philip Conley was iuterrogated yesterday afternoon relative to the Board of Public Worky ‘business. Did he suppose Louis \Wahl wonld resign, and, if so, would he (Mr. Couley) be & candidate for tho vacant chair? Mr. Conley did not think that Louis Wall was going to give up so easily, although his brother, Christian, was going to Europe In the summer, and some one would be required to attend to the business. 1f, however, Mr. Wahl dld resign, ho would be in the field a{;l-in. without any manner of doubt. “Age, sir,” said Plul, “and I'll get it, too. It is not the Mayor I'll have with me this time, bat the Aldermen. I have fricnds enongh in the Council to get the offico when the vacancy does oceur.” e s CRIMINAL. CRININAL COUBT. ZLouis Robinson was found guilty of atabbing Thomss Jefferson. He was remanded for sen- tence. . Nicholas Campen plesded guilty to larceny of $15 in money from Louis Beichart, and was remanded. Wiliam Duon ploaded guilty to larceny of watches, eto. from A. Clenden’s pawnbroker’s shop, on Clark street, and was remanded. His partoer, Bernard Hearnan, was tried by a jury and acquitted. Thomas Hamilton, the colored waitar who, in an affray last mohth at the Pacific Hotel, cut and seriously injured Thomms Lawlor, the head weiter, was up on wnt of habeas corpus, and remeanded. James White pleaded guilty to larceny of a lot of sheep skins ; he was tried at the last term of the Court, snd his pupishment fixed &t one yeor in the Penitentiary. He was sentenced. THE POLICE COURTS. Henry Hennessy stole a pair of boots from Jobn Isham's store on State strcet, and was fined $25 and costs. Patrick Hartford got ont of & scrape yesterday by marrying Mery Ann McGew, of whose child he is the father. . Thirty-five prisoners were before the West Bide Police Court yesterday., They wers flued £210, of which $28.50 was collected. Edward Simpson, a oolored citizen, got £50 from Mra. Hall, No. 75 Fourth avenus, to psy ber rent. He spent it or & walch, was arrested, and neld to the Criminal Court in £500 bail. John Norton, charged with stesling sn over- coat belonging to s Japanese student rojoicing inthe name of A.Z. Tomgsaneeks, was held in 2300 bonds to appear at the Criminal Court. Willlam King was charged with obtaining a £35 wstch and chain from S. Leger, No. 143 Archer svenus, payiog ’tm- 15 wilh & noto signed i ! George L. Sherlsin. The evidence could nob hold him. John Wilson and Thomas Mc)Mahon, who as- saulted and robbed William Chattick on the roed near Brighton, and a boy named Peter Bremen near the Stock-Yards, have been held in $2,000 each toappear before the Criminal Court. Additional charges were proferred yesterday af t B F. Young acd B. C. Holland, of the “Howard & Co.” swindle, by Mr. Hawley, Spe- clal Agent of the Poat-Offico Dopartment. Thoy were held under bonds of €3,000 each for their appearance on the 28th inst. February last John Prico, a enoak-thiof who has served one term in the State Prison, was arrested for stesling an overcoat, worth about 8100, from 3Ir. E. G. Crippin, of No. 508 Wabash avonue. Tho evidenco, af tho timo, was not snfticient to hoid the prisoner, and ho was dis- charged. Soma fow days ago Mr. Crippin sgain cauged his arreat, and yesterday Justice Boyden held him to the Criminal Court in 8700 bonds. Anton Burkoffsky was before the West Sido Police-Court yestardsy morniag, charged with Inrceny. He was accused of having Stolen a mast Iying in the North Branch, belonging to Jobn Haneon, of No.33 Enst Chicago avenue, Worth §50, and towing it to the fook of Sangamon street. When found by Hanson the mast was cut up into cord-wood. Oficer Ratchford srrested him, and Justice Soully held him over to the Crimmal Cour: in bonds of $400. In de- fault, tho prisoner was sent to the County Jail. John Schebotehi,a young German cigar-malker, aged 18 years, was boforo the West Side Police Ceart yeaterday to snswer tho tharge of rape on tho person of Mre. Jensih. It is claimed that Bchebotahi enterad the sleeping-apattment of the lady at her residence, No. 109 Cornelis stroct, on April 3, during the absince of her husband, and, presenting = pistol at her head. compollod her to submit to his embraces, ahe being en ciento at the time. ~He then throatemed her and her husband with instant death it sho informod upon him. Alrs., Jensih, through fear, soid nothing sbout tho sffair until after her confinemont, when she informed her husband. The prisoner was arrested on Wadxmadni. and Justice Scully continued the case until May 2, when the lady will be able to appear against him. In the meantime ho was committedto jail in default of 5,000 bonds. John Hemilton avtempted last Monday alittle swindle, one in which he was detected, and Tues- day last Justice Boyden inflicted s fine on the offender of $7.50, which was paid, Hamilton has been in the habit of going into business housos and prescating o 810 mofe, requesting chango, and remarking that he desired fo mako $3, out of tho change. Consoquently he recoived from the accommodating merchant one 85 noto and emall bills for the remainder; Hamilton conceals $4 about his person, and then awears that he las only received 36, and de- mands the othor 24, After being detected in this dodge, on the Soath 8ide, and being finod, he concluded to his hand st the same business on the West Side, and Wednesday morni? stopped into the commission houes of W. H. Liulpn No. 72 West Lako streot, whero Mr. W. H. Thompson, the Cashier, obliged him with the change; when Hamilton informed him of the deficit, Mr. Thompson thinking that per- haps bhe had made a mistake, requested the fellow to wait o few moments till he conld balsnce his cash sccount, and if h¥s cash was over, he would cheerfully correct the same. On counting the contents of the money-drawer, ho detected Hamilton con- conling a bill, and snspecting that the fellow was trving to defraud him be caused his arrest. Tho prisoner was beforo Justico Seully yesterday, and plonded not guilty.

Whilo engaged at this labor, somo of tho mechanics employed on the upper floors started the msachina downward, and, after tra- versing the difforent slories, it very naturally came in contact with the individual's head, put- ting upon it a weight of responsibility and other things such as 1t had nover bofore ondured.

Bill J—, the Skeriff of our county (Colbert), a zealous poker-player, snd a prosperous Tea- touic merchant of our town, named S—, were traveling on tho cars, and, in order to pass away tho time, engaged in & game of ecubro. After plasing some time, the jolly Dutchman left his seat to get a drink of water, and Bill, know- ing that he, too, had a penchant for poker, took advantage of his absence and dealt him a hand with four kingsin it, and turned up the queen for a trump. Returning in 8 moment and lifting his band, 8. atonce conceived the brilliant’ idea of pisying the band at poker, and accord- ingly suggested it to Bill, who consented, pro- vided that he might be sllowed to discard one of his cards and teko up the queon.

Remedy for Hydrophobia, A French physician, Dr. Buisson, of Lyons, claims that he has discovered a remedy for hydrophobia. When s person has been bitten by s mad dog, he should for seven successive days take a Lussian vapor bath of 134 to 144 de- grees Fahrenheit. Thi# bath may be quickly pared by putting three or. fonr red-Lot bricks intos tub of water, over which the patient must sit in & cane-bottomed or willow chaur for fifteen or twenty minutes, After the disesso has de- clared itself, one vapor bath is sufficient, bas the patient must be strictly confined to his room Tntil thecare is complete. Dr. Baisson says that plied this method of treatment to more ;7 persous bittea by wmad animals, aad he bas than Friday and Saturday, that he never loat a single case. Ho discovered the remedy when taking a vapor bath himself for the purpose of killing himself by suffooation aftor ha had caught the hydropbobia from the saliva of a pationt. When thebath was at aboat 94 Fahrenheit all the symptoms. disappeared a8 if by magic and never retarnad. et e A Little Girl Killed by Red Ants, From the Opelita (Ala.) Observer. Mr. F. G. Jones informs us of the singular death of s little colored girl on his farm, near Auburn. The girl went to somo sills that had been used for the purpose of cutting up meat, and on which there was a large number of red ants. While asleep the ants, by the hundreds, made an attack on the child, ‘and when she awoko she was literally covered with them, and all busy biting and stinging. They were 80 ferocions that a woman on the place had to sweep them off with a brush-broom. The biting sad stinging were 8o very serious that fever ensued, which, coupled with the poison of the bites; produced death two days afterward. AMUSEMENTS.
