It is reported that Glenwood was thrown into a state of great excitement yesterday over some mad dogs. They rushed through the street in the most frantic manner attacking any other dogs they came across and several bloody en- counters ensued, in which two or three cows were unwilling participants. Some stock was also bitten by the infuriated canines. Finally a crowd of citizens started in pursuit and shot with fatal effect twenty-five dogs and a couple of cows. This little affair created consid- erable commotion in the usually orderly city of Glenwood. e —— Letter From a Female Physici 194 SECOND AVENUE, New York, May 1, 1883, My specialty is diseases of women and children. T like Arrcock's Porous Prasters because they are so quick and efficient, and never irritate or mark the tenderest skin. I have found them most useful in my practice, and they are cer- tainly the best plasters now made. To illustrate: My son of ten years of age took a bad Cold and coughed incessantly; no medicine would relieve him; after some twelve hours I applied an ALLcock’s Porous PLASTER to his throat and upper chest. The cough ceased entirely in an hour, and the next day the boy was well. I told the case to a gentleman who suf- fered in the same style; he, too, was cured in twenty-four hours of his cough by Arrcock’s Porous Praters. Another patient suffered from pain in the small of the back—Auxrcock’s Porous PLASTER was applied ot night, and next morning the pain had cessed. Again, a young lady suffering from Neuralgic Pains around the heart, by my advice used ALLCOCK'S Porous Prasters, and was entirely cured in three days. Finally, a lady came to me with Cold Feet, which constantly recurred night and day—this sometimes is a symptom of Uterine Con- gestion—I applied an ALLcock’s Porous n.

D, ““Allcock’s” is the only genuine Por- ous Plaster; buy no other and you will not be cheated, — Mechanics' Lien Law. Hon, J. C. Cowin writes to The Bur- tonian, of Tekamah, as follows: “‘In your issue of the 13th inst. I find a refererice to the fact that Thad questioned in the court here the constitutionality of the mechanics’ lien law. You state that Iclaim ‘‘a lumber dealer is not a me- chanic, alaborer is not a mechanic,” As to the former you are correct, as to the lat- ter incorrect. What I claim is that the mechanics’ lien law, under the title by which it was passed wasintended for and is a protection for all persons performing manual labor in and about the construc tion or reparation of a building under the general designation of ‘‘mechanic,” but that under the constitutional provision, that *No bill shall coutain more than one subject and thejsame shall be clearly expressed in title,” the legislature had no authority to enact, under a title ‘‘Mechanics Liens,” a law providing liens for matekial men, who, as such, are in no sense mechan Yet under the guise of *‘Mechanics Liens” is enacted & law providiug a lien for all material men,whether the material is furnished to the owner of the building, or to a contractor or any sub-contractor. Is such legislation *‘clearly exprossed in the title?"" Certainly lot, Is not this act maeking in the cloak of u **mechanic,’ for the benefit of capitaiists!” Under all the authorities to this point the act is too broad for the title, “‘The fact 15 that mechanics, while the act by its title purporta to,be for their benelit, get little or no benefit from it, a8 whercver there is occasion to assert a lien, the material man first assert it, and very generally exhausts ull the con- tract price, leaving the laborers reme- diless, Under the present luw a builder is at a loss to know how to make pay- ments 8o as to protect himself After he has paid the full contract price to contractor and laborers, a material man, any where from Maine to Califor- nia may file his lien, claiming that he furnished some material to the con- tractor or some sub-contractor which has not been paid, and demand the enforcement of his lien agamst the pro- perty. “Iclaim the act unconstitutional on other grounds, also, but my object in addressing you was to correct you with regurd to my position in rcspect to laborers, Very traly yours, J, O, Cowin, o foring frm Conghs, Colds, Sore Throat, ete., should try Browx's Broxcrial THOCHES, Sold only in boxes. THE GATUNG GUN, How Dr. Galling Came fo Invent It, and How Ben, Butler Adopted It, Twelve Hundred Shots a Minute—An Interesting Trterview With the Inventor. Spesial Ootrospondenca of the Cloveland Leador. Wasnrscon, March 30. ~ Wonderful improvements have recently boen made in tho (atling gun, and Dr. Gattling, the inventor, has been here for some days, illustrating thom to the leading men of the war department. He has shown that the gun can now fire on an averago 1,200 shot per minute continuously, and the lateat inventions enable it to be fired at any anglo. Before this the force of gravity prevonted the firing upward or downward beyound a certain degree, but this has been entirely overcome, and a shot can now be sent porpendicularly into the air, and the guns can be so aimed as to throw bullets inside of a fort or any besieged fortification DR, RICHARD JORDAN GATLING is now sixty-six years old, Ho is a tall, broad shouldered, white whiskered man with a friendly face, bright blue eyes, and a pleasant tongue. I talked with him in the Ebbitt House last evening about his gun and he told me how he camo to invent it. Said he: “I had made several inventions before tmis, one of which was the wheat drill which is now in uso all over the country, and I think it was my study on it that prepared ‘e for the Gatling gun. In 1861 I was liv 18 at Indianapolis. The war had broken out and the country was all excitement. My house was within a fow blocks of the depot and I was often present here when volunteers were departing for the field, and also when their dead bodies were at times shipped back home in boxes for burial. One surprise to me was that the number of men killed by sickness and disease was more than thoso killed by ball or actual battle. One day I remem- ber ninctoen corpees wers landed at the depot; three had been killed in battle, The thought then struck me if a gun could be invented that would do the work of a hundred men, and would require but a foew men to operate it, that the horrors of war would be greatly dimin- ished, and an end would come much sooner of every struggle. More men could stay at home, and lives would be saved. The thought took such hold of me that I commenced to work on it at once. The result was the Gatling gun. “My first guns were. MADE IN CINCINNATI, and they would fire from 150 to 250 shots per minute. I had six of them manufac- tured in 1862, when the foundry was burned by incendiaries—I suppose rebel sympathizers—and the guns were de- stroyed. Next I had thirteen guns made at what is now the type foundry in Cin- cinnati, and these I sent on by my part ner, & wealthy merchant of Cincinnati, to Washington to persuade the government to introduce them. He took them to Baltimore, where he left twelve, and went with the other to Washington, The chief of the ordnance department at the time was an old fogy. He received him coldly, told him he had no faith in his gun, and that he believed flint-lock mus- kets were, on the whole,the best weapons for warfare. In short, he would have nothing to do with him, My partner then left Washington, and returned to Baltimore. Ben Butler was there with his troops. He had heard of the guns, and he asked to see them work. As soon as he had done so he said he would buy them on his own responsi- bility and did so, givinghis voucher for twelve thousand dollars for them. My partner had his cashed, but at this time there was a great fall in pork, and fifty thousand hogs which he had packed in Ohicago with the expectation of a rise, had to be sold. In a word, the bresk in the market ruined him, and my money went with him. So, for the first twenty guns I had made a great cost to myself, I received nothing. Ben Butler took the guns he had brought with him to the battle of Petersburg and fired them himself upon the rebels, They creatod great consternation and slaughter, and the news of them went all over the world. Now they are used by all of the Jeading governments of Eurcpe and also in Asia and Africa. They enabled the Prussians to conquer Austria in 1860, though the Austriang hud the larger forces, and they shortened the war by Germany and France so that it practically lasted but a fow days. “The Gatling guns ato now mado in Hartford in this country snd in Europe at New-Castle-on-the-Tyne. ¥ sell only to governinents, and the United States uses many of my guns, They now take part in all wars and you have seen the reports of the work they have dune in Egypt " * How far will the Gatling gun send a bali?” “From two to three miles, The new improvemenis which enable it to be fired into the air are such that the ball, when it falls to the earth, acquires from the force of gravity such a velocity that when it reaches the ground it will pass through a plank two inches thick. This is ata distance of three thousand yards from the placo of firing.” “Will it shoot accurately?” long and 12 feet 4 inchea through the body from back to brenst, and with a tail 9 foot acroes, got ashore on Saturday lant on the south inside shore of Pengoteague creek, Accomac county, Va. Five fish- ormen attacked the monster by shooting and chopping it. They secured it with two anchors, which were fastoned to the lsviathan by ropes passed theough holes cut in its flesh. The capors were at work about the whale for several hours, during which timo the whale remained motionless, and it was thought to be dead. When tho tide came in at sun- down on Saturday, it floated and dis. played ronewed vitality. A des. perate struggloe froed the animal from its captivity, aud it moved away, carrying the cables and anchors with it, No more was seen of it until the following Monday, when it was discovered in the channel of the creek, dead. The fishermen towed it to the beach north of Pengoteagun oroek, whero they com- menced their operations of stripping it of the blubber. The vroprietors of the fish factory on the croek offered to boil the blubber for one half the oil, but the lucky captors refused to accept on those teims, 1t will probably render 75 barrels of oil. This is the second whale to get ashore in tho same vicinity within one year and afford a new sourco of revenue to the hardy fishermen of the neighborhood. When its jaws are fully open a man can stand erect in its mouth. o —— HuwmaN Broon,—On the purity and vi- tality of the blood depend the vigor and health o the whole system. Disease of various kinds is often only the sign that nature is trying to remove the disturbin cause, A remedy that gives life and vigor to the blood, eradicates scrofnla and other impurities from it, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla undoubtedly does, must be the means of preventing many diseases that would occur without its use.

When the bright sunshine, streaming down through mazes of rigging and clouds of unfurled canvas, gave an air of early summer to the Pierropont Docks, in Brooklyn, yesterday morning, six idle men gathered on the warm side of a warchouse and discussed the enervating influences of spring. To them the distant ships seemed asleep upon the horizon; the water lapped against the pierheads with a drowsy murmur, and the fiendish shriek of a passing tug-boat died away like a lullaby. One man felt sure that naturoe expected people to rest in spring- time, and the others agreed that it was a sin to work any creature except a mule. This unfortunate animal received mention because a long-legged, file-backed speci- men of the species chowed a piece of an old carpet on the pier and at uncer- tain and spasmodic intervals tried to kick a hogshead and two barrols into the river. Gradually the talk turned upon the viciousness, the vindictiveness, and the untamable nature of mules The mule on the dock was thought to be an unusually vicious animal, Wickedness and a miscel- laneous desire to smash things could be seen in his eyes, and his feet seemed just the kind for effactive kicking. “Bet no one dares't fool around that mule,” said a man with a beard like an unnatural growth of oakum, “‘Wouldn't fool 'round him long!” said a cross-eyed man, ‘‘He'd kick the day- lights out of man’s grandfather.” “If that mule struck you once your whole family 'ud die,” exclaimed a third man in confidence. “T'll bet a good cigar at no man in this crowd dares’t go up and tickle 'im,"” I'll make it 86 if any man "Il twist his tail,” challenged a ship chandler's agent, as the mule beat a tattoo against a post on the pier. “Yes, I'll make it ten.” “*Stuff!” sneered a lazy-looking vagrant a little apart from the crowd. “Who says ‘stuff!’” demanded the agent, ina voice like a prize-fighter's, “Maybe you'd liko to twist that mule's taill” I think I could do it.” *‘Here's $10 that says you can't.” “I'll go ye.” The money was put into the hands of a ship’s supply contractor, and the details wore properly arranged. The lazy man was to twist the mule's tail—if he could get nexr enougt — vith a lhis strength,and was to escape unhurt. The crowd was to stand at a respectful distance and see fair play. The lazy manswung his coat over his arm, borrowed a chew of uavy plug, and walked down the pier. The crowd followed slowly. The mule ghowed a strong desire o eat noc only the ap- {:ru&ohhlg men, bt the pier itself. But is viciousness was restrained by a strong ropo halter. The lazy wman tossed lia cout upon a barrel and grasped the mule’s tail with both hands, The crowd held its breath, The twister wound the tail into a hard knot and pulled the wmule would permit, The mule made no efiort to resent the indignity. The lazy man again threw his coat over his arm, and taking the money from the contractor, sauntered up Montague strect. The crowd was speechloss, “Did you see that?” atlength asked on of the men of a stevedore -who leancd over a barrel, . “Yen, L saw it.” “‘Mule hadn’t any spunk, had he?” “Hadn't he, Why, man, that's the crossest mule in Brooklyn 'n the biggest “Yes, We can aim the gun at a plank nailed to a support several thousand yards away, and by moving the gun rapidly along while firing we can cut a line through the board as though it were sawed. Bullets of different sizes are used in different guns, No two bullets leave the gun at the same time, but when you coneider that 1,200 shots can be fired ina minate you will see how rapidly and reg- ularly iv works,"” “*Will there ever come a time, doctor, WHEN WARS WILL END FOR GooD]” “I do not think so, Human nature is the kame in all ages, and the strong will continue to oppress and rule over the weak as long as time shall last, It is so in nations and individuals, The mother, when the child is born, rules it untl iv becomes a wman, Then it, growin stronger, rules the mother, In this worl the weakest must always go to the wall, The strong survive, Improved warfare and better arms may give the war a greater power. But I doubt whether any iuvention will make war so terrible that men will refuse to engage in it, And just here I would say that cougress should do something for our navy., Our sea coast in entirsly unprotected and we have not & ship afloat that is good for anythin, An ironclad of the foreign make wonfil tear them to pieces in the first engage- ment while their balls would rattle from its sidcs, Our whole sea coast with all of its fine cities is defenseless and 1n case of war they would be destroyed or o tured befors anything could be done,” C —— A Suranded Whale, Ealbimore Sun, March 2.
