Miolmol Kane, a saloon-keopor at Twentieth and Cutlibert Streets, who began to ravo deliriously on Saturday last about tho bites that his Scotch ter rior had indicted on his cheek and lingor OTor three weeks ago, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital on Tuosda morning. Dr. Watson, of No. 201 North Twentieth street, had decided that it was a case of mnnia a potu, resulting from an abrupt cessation of drinkinc. and acrirravated by tho thought that .hydrophobia would ' soon onsuo. Tiio belief took comnloto ' possession oi lutuo's minci. and no por suasion or treatment could cradicato it. For live days ho had rofused to drink any kind ot liquid, and it was only by a subterfugo that lie was induced to drink some milk, and then when whisky was suggested to him ho swallowed a good, Btitl dram eagerly, insisting that it bo "neat." Ho continually talked of tho dog and hydrophobia, and ids visiting acquaintances also persistently talked to him about tho malady, which only increased his uneasiness. At times ho raved and was frequently violent, yet was conscious, and on ovory subject o. copt tho dog was rational. Still thoro woro no symptoms of hydrophobia, nor anything liko tlicm. His dread of wator was only a phantom, us was proven when ho was induced on Mon day morning to drink some. When tho cup was handed to him ho called to his attendants: "Look out now for mo thon I jump!" Tho wator slipped down his throat oasily and ho waited for tho expected convulsions and "jump." Ho didn't jump, butsat quiet ly down on tho sido of ids bed and bo can to talk. When ho was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital ho was violent and noisy. Tho resident physician, Dr. Cruico, took him in hand and gav much tho samo treatment that ho had roooivod undor Dr. Watson, both physi cians agreeing in thoir diagnosis of tho caso. Kano grow so troublesome that tho authorities of tho hospital rofusod to keep him thoro, and yesterday thoy fient him homo, under the euro of his Vyifo, in a hack. At four o'clock ho died from exhaustion or failuro of tho heart, tho result, it is said, of mania n potu. , Kano was about thirty-fivo yoars old, exceedingly vigorous and aotivo, and froo from every malady except tho briof mental disturbance that prostrated him.

I dono waited on Washington sonco ho was so high no biggor'n a small chilo." " You know tho story, tlion, about tho cherry treo and tho hatchet?" "Know it? Why I was dar on do spot. I seen Mossa (Jawgo climb do treo after do cherries, and I seen him fling do hatchet at do boys who was Htonin' him. I dono chose detn boys oil do place myself." " Do von remember his appearance as a man?" What ho looked llkoP" " Yes, indeedy. Ho was a kinder short, chunky man; sorter fat and hearty iookin'. Ho had chin whiskers and mustache and spectacles. Mos' generally ho wore a high hat; but I seed him in a fur cap wid car warmers!" "You wore not with him of course, when lie crossed the Delaware when lie went across tiio Delawaro HivorP" "Wid him? Yes, sir; I was right dar. I was not nioro'n two foot oll'n'n him as ho druv across do bridco in his bucrijy! )a8 l fno I walked 'lontr side do off hind wheel of dat buggy all do way."

' " Knowed urn all. Many and many's do timo I done waited on de tablo when Mossa Gawgo had urn to dinner. I re member dem twogeininon jes's well's if I'd scon 'urn ycsierday.

Just then wo reached the station, and I dismounted from tho hack and paid Washington's body servant for his serv ices. No doubt a longer conversation with him would have rovealcd other new and startling facts relating to tho Fathor of his Country. Max Adder, in Phila delphia Post. Intemperance Anions New York Women of Fashion. It is shocking but true, that intompor anco among women of tho bottor classes is becoming moro and moro common. Of almost innumerable casos that could bo related of instances where women of good families, good education and re puted virtuo, belonging to this city, have become common drunkards, and disgraced by this vilo habit, tho writer will relato but ono that has recently como to hor knowlodgo, and will vouch for its truth in ovory particular. A woman is to-day living in comploto ob scurity noro, ami alone, who, tivo years ago, was tho wifo of a retired merchant tho mistress of a handsomo homo with- in twenty-live miles from tho city, whoro sho, with hor husband and ono child, a son, resided in tho summer, and in tho winter lived cither in somo fino liotol or went abroad that has been completely ruined by hor continued habits of in- I tomporance. She 1ms beon in tho tivo years several times taken drunk to tho station-houses, has been sent to tho prison on Ward's Island and thorough- I ly disgraced. Sho was a very attractive ', woman, aud for years hor husband en dured hor insane conduct caused by liquor. Ho was proud, and triod to I hide bis sluimo from tho world, but aftor several brutal personal attacks upon himself and his aged fathor, ho was divorced from hor. Then relatives on botii sides interfered, tho wifo was tomporato, soomingly reformed, ami ho remarried hor, as ho still, in spito of everything, loved tho mother of his boy. For a whilo this porson (sho was called a lady) was docont in hor be havior, vsteomed hor many privileges and enjoyed hor wealth; but tho old appotito returned with ronowod vigor, : and sho became moro degraded than ovor. Tho husband has again boon di vorced from her, but gives hor enough to live on, if sho would so spond it. Ho is still in middlo life, but broken in health and wrecked in happiness. Ev- cry day lie dreads to soo his former wife's uauio in tho polico roports; I droads hearing of somo horrid tiling sho may havo dono. Ho wandors aim lossly through tho world, with ono hold on life his lovo for ids son, idolizing him, but fearing Ids inheritance of tho ovll passion which lias wrecked tho two lives of this triw story and how many thousands of othors. Somo peoplo con tend that it is no worse for a woman to bo intemperate than for a man to bo so. '1 hoy cannot really moan it, howovor, as womon of good character hold society togothor. New York Cor, Syracuse (N. Y.J Journal, Niagara In Harness. Ynnkoo- ingenuity and practicality havo not beon slow in acting upon tho suggestions which have been thrown out so frequently of lato by tho English savants as to tho capabilities of Niagara Falls in producing electrical power. Thoy havo computed tho forco of tho falls and announced tho prodigious re sults in illuminating and heating, as well as a motor, which might bo accom plished by thorn if thoy wore only util ized, and now conies an enterprising American, backed by sudlciont capital, determined to sco if tho cataract will perform what tho savants say it will. Tho preliminary stop has been tho fmrehaso of tho twelve acres known as 'rasped Park, adjacent to tho falls, which substantially gives tho purchaser tho control of tho water power of tho entire American Falls, estimated at J,000,000 horso-power, or ton times tho amount of steam horso-power in Chica go and all tho rest of Cook County a lorco equal to that of 12,000,000 men. Tho control of this prodigious power having beon obtained, it is proposed to erect lmmoiiso buildings and ponderous machinery upon the brink of tho falls, whoro tho wator can bo easily readied, " to bo returned after use." After gen erating the electricity by tills unlimited hydraulic forco, it is to bo conducted through proporly insulated cases to sixty fivo prominent American cities and towns for illuminating purposes, and is also to bo used for operating machinery and ultimately for heating purposes. Altogothor thoro will bo 10,000 miles of copper cables with machinery to corroj spond. Tho project nt tho first glanco is suf ficent to tako away one's breath, but it is certain that any project proposing to handle Niagara Falls must bo on tho samo scale as tho cataract itself. Niag ara is not a forco to drivo a petty mul or run a small grist. Its prodigious I forco must bo handled in a Titanic way or else let alone. Ho would bo a rash man who should hasten to predict that I this colossal scheme, which looks so ' woll on paper, is going to succeed, or that Niagara is going to allow itself to bo ! harnessed to dynamo machines without a most determined resistance, or that J numerous unforscon obstacles will not ; turn up that will provo insurmountable ' and convince puny man that Naturo lias somo agencies liko mountains, oceans, I cyclones and cataracts whigli she will not , allow to bo utilized for material pur- ! poses, and against which she may protest ! in somo reckless way that will send tho ' whole project to overlastiug smash. Tho most that can bo dono now is to an nounce that an edbrt is to bo made to compel this vast 100 foot fall of water, which has been running wild so long and benefiting no one, except tho falls hackmon, who havo mainly retired on fortunes aftor their connivance with tho cataract, to do something for a living and to bo of some use iu the world. If overy brawl ing little mill-stream in tho country has to he of some service there is no reason why this overgrown and monstrous precipitation of water should not also contribute to the wants of men if it can lie done. If skill, courage, enter prise and money aro of any avail, it may not bo long boforo tho world will behold Niagara no longer plunging over its brink merely for tho profit of hack- men and tho plcasuro of sentimental sight-soers and poets, but working with its huge power lor tho comfort of people, j It was not long ago that an English writer sneoringly declared that a Yankee , could not look at Niagara Falls without calculating its capacity a3 a water- ! power. Tho writer probably never ' dreamed that a Yankee, not content with tho mere calculation, would actual- jy attempt to put it in operation. Chi cago Tribune. Sliino 'Em for a Cent.

Ono of tho applications of electricity which has not as yet attracted general attention is tho magnificent effect which it can produco when employed as a means of porsonal decoration.

About this timo of tho year, when you cannot find tho American citizen in his office, look for him at tho butt ond of a fishing polo, if he is a donizen of tho mighty West, or at tho reol of a trout rod, if so bo that he Hvoth in tho bar baric orient; for thoro aro no fishing polos cast of Ohio. Man, born of woman, is of fow days, and prono to fish as tho sparks to ily upward. Whether in tho long-logced bootfl ho wadoth nlong tho rocky and tortuous courso of tho broken trout stream, or placidly perched on a gum log, lie patiently bobs for "cat" in tho sluggisli and yellow creek of tho low countries, ho must fish. And in either case tho result is about tho samo; mora lies than fish. Patient is tho man who fishes, long sufi'cring, addicted to malaria, lonely in his habits, ho smollcth of tho swamps; tho odor of tho alders cling to his rai ment nnd the truth is not in him. Tho patience of his lifo is its great charm. Tho sun that beats upon his murmuring head at noontide moves him not; tho long afternoon only makes him sleepy; tho threatening bank of clouds in tho distant west has no terrors for him; tho breath of tho passing cyclone could not movo him it it should happen to striko him just as ho felt a bito. He is patient beyond all appreciation. From early morn till dewy ovo ho fishes for some thing that he cannot see, and if ever ho gives way to tho slightest expression of impatience it is when tho shadows of night fall upon him and compel him to return home and leave tho brook or pond or creek "just when thoy begin to bito." Ho knows tho habits and tho haunts of fish. Ho is a connoisseur in nibbles and a judgo of bites. Ho knows thero are rock bass closo under tho dam and sun fish among the tangled roots of tho fallen cottonwood that lies, bleached and naked, liko a dead giant, looking as j liimurli it. Iinil givnm ndwirn .mil tliim died before it could pull its roots out of tho wator. In tho quiet pools undor tho high bank there aro big suckers, and in tho middle of tho creek ho can fish on tho bottom for bull-pout. And thero aro "punkin' seeds" and "gogglo oyes" in the dark holes just below tho shallows, and thero is a tradition about a "croppy," livo inches long, that was caught down near tho stono quarry; for the fish of tho Western waters are not measured by weight, as tho liars of tho Middlo and Now England States exag gerate their tiny trout, but by inches and feet, oven as tho sea serpent of tho Jer sey coast. Moreover, tho man who fishes knows how to allure tho wily inhabitants of tho deep. Ho spitteth upon his bait andre fraineth from accustomed profanity. Ho knoweth that tho "snake feeders cir cle in many colored lines above the placo whoro abide the most fish. Ho knoweth that you cannot drown a "skcetor" or water spider, and that it is in vain that any man trietli to splash wator on tho back of tho gregarious "stink bug." When the woiins are all used up, or by some heart-breaking mischance spilled into tho creok, ho baitetli with tho mus sel which passeth under tho alias of clam, or ho ensnareth, with many out spread fingers, much grass and few grasshoppers; or the after logs of tho active frog supply him with tho needful bait But ho never catches any fish, not any to speak of. He has nibbles unnum bered, but not untold; ho has big bites that thrills the blood of tho man to whom ho describes them; lie pulls two or three splendid follows "clear out of the water," ho sees a dozen or more jump up in tho middlo of tho creek, ho could have caught two dozen if he could have got ovor to tho other sido of tho creek, and fifty if ho had had a boat. But for tho wind being in tho south, ho would havo eaten fish for tho ensuing weok, ; tho sun was too hot or tho day was dark, or something or other. With a scoro of possibilities, and with num berless narrow escapes, ho catches no fish. But somehow, whilo ho comes homo Ashless, ho smells liko a fisli market. Ho has fallon into tho creek twieo or thrico, and has caught frogs or carried clams, and comes homo wet to tho neck, with weariness in his frame, aches in his joints, a smoll of fish all about him, and not a fish near him. And thus year aftor year ho fishes, ond considers that ho has had a holiday. Ho enjoys it, and it requiros only a very few fish to satisfy his wild ambitions. If ho can't fish ho can lie, and tho most suc cessful fishor can tell no larger stories than tho greatest failuro. Burdcttc, in Burlinqton Iluwkcyc. Tho Other Horn.
