Yes, I reckon I know all about inder pendent an' f-omethin' about cor poration papers, too I I see you don't quito take my meaning. An' to tell you tho truth, it's only lately I discover ed what a corporation paper is. I run a corporation paper down to Goosctown without knowin' it. It has grown up on mo slow like, but it's a hard-baked fact now. An' another thing has grown on mo. An' that is, ufter you've begun on a corporation paper you've got to keep it up, for et you try to make a independent paper of it the chances nre it won't tstund the wrench. It's like giving a man an all-fired twist in awrestlin' match; ef ho don't know how to free himself of a toe-lock, or catch his man on the hip, he s euro to sco stars. I speak from experience, becauso I was fool enough to think I could switch off tho track I was rnnnin' on, an mako a inderpendentT paper of tho Streamer of Liberty. Ef you ever saw a bunch of freight cars shunted off on a sidiug a leetlo mi-e too strong, an' a bringm up in a heap after buttin down tho snubbin" posts, p'raps you can form sonio idoa how I felt when I got through with tho experiment. Seein' as you don't know much about tho preis, of which I am proud to say I am still a honorable member in good standm , 1 11 explain how I fell inter tho business. If you tako notice it's busiuess people generally fall inter. At tho same time ita moro liko a lottery than auythin' I can think of. It take3 , mihty good management an' pluck, an' plenty of money a power of money to keep a man afloat in it, unless he's a fool for luck (which I never was), or a genius (which is wus, cf anything !) or his credit is uncommon. Mostly I find that runnin a country newspaper is a distractiu' business ; a man may hang on by the eyebrows, ready to suspend every week for months an years, an at the end of that time not have enough money in his clothes to treat himself to a good tqnaro meal ; consequently country edditurs mostly get treated ef you notice. What I was goin to say, or tho heft of it mostly, was about my corporation paper. When tho railroad from Huckleberry the rollin' stock. No I I forgot. The company found they'd made an over sight somehow, for when the depots were built they hadn't enough money left to lay in their win ter's stock of coal, so they had to pay for that out of their own money. I lived midway between Goosetown an' Huckleberry Flat then. I was my own man, with nigh nine hundred dol lars in my pocket, an' a - feelin' of my oats purty well ; bo nothing 'd do me but a professional life. An as I was counted strong in our debatin' society, an was a master hand at spellm , I concluded to start a newspaper. The moment I said I'd do it. the Goose- town folks covered every dollar I had, an' blamed ef I wasn't a edditur almost afore I knew it t Well, jest about that time the railroad was com pleted, an' everybody was crazy to get a trip over it. Some folks made so many trips they made quite a talk. There was tho Mayor, he'd run down to Huckleberry Flats as much as two, three, or mebbe four times a week. Thinks I, here's my chance. I've start ed the Streamer of IAberty on the strength of the railroad, an' the rail road's got to support me. I concluded I'd see about the Mayor's many trips, so I went over to the railroad office, an' kinder struck up a desultory conversa tion with the superintendent. You see, I wanted to come at the business in a roundabout way. Says I, "Bee here, Shackleford (I knew him like a book went to school with him). what's the reason Tom Winterbottom spends so much money runnin down the road ? How can he afford such nonsense ?" " Sh-h-h," says Shackleford, givin' me .the winit ; haven t you been fixed?" "What do you mean?" says I jest liko that. ' Hasn't no one been to see you with a tiefcet r " It's likely they'd found me if they had." Shackleford's face cleared up. "I was wonderin' why you was so savin, of your ticket. Look here, now, Wirt, you ought to be on the dead-head list. 1 didn t half liko his look. It was a cunnin smile Shackleford had, and sty. An' ho was so blamed deep you never knew where to find him. So I told him right short : ' I don't think a man who can edit a paper is any deader in the head than railway officers." " Pshaw !" says Shackleford ; " you don't' take. All edditurs are dead heads, an' it's onacountable how you've been overlooked. I'll fix this thing right at onct. I'll give you an annual pass." " Is that the way tho Mayor does it ?" said I. To be sure." The next day I got aboard the cars, an' there was Tom Winterbottom ahead of me. But tho conductor knew his trick liko a gambler, an' nobody was any the wiser until somehow it leaked out, I reckon, all along of Winterbot tom s ridm over the road so much. Jest about this time the company wanted to.dig a tvo-foot trench acrost to the new settlement. They d mado a perfect lake of the old town, chopped up the old town hall for kindlin' wood, an did purty muchjas they pleased, an no one could say bop. ! because the town was purty much theirs to do as they pleased with. But when the Town Council learned about the Mayor's free ticket, they kicked up a terrible rumpus. They held a secret meetin one Sunday in Si Sturgis's grocery, an swore sol emnly the company shouldn't strike a pick in the trench until the matter was settled satisfactorily. That fetched the company. They knuckled at every man got a freo ticket. . was on account oi bribery. All tne Town Council, the Mayor, the Judge and his family had free passes. He called on any one present to deny the fact. But nobody was fool enough to say a word. I saw at once how the poplar mind was goin. I knew ef the widow had been poor nobody would have cared a gnat's heel for her ; 'she might have lost her last pullet an nobody'd loaned her a patent egg for a fresh start. Thinks I, now is the time to let fly at a great abuse. So I writ the matter up that night. Said I in my colyums : ' Tho current of popular sentiment has been stirred to its depths by tho recent decision in the case of Klingen felter versus the Goosetown and Huckle berry Flat Railway Company. It is not because the widow Klingenfelter's cow's head was really towards the new or her tail switching near the old settle ment that public sentiment sides with her; it is becauso of the wholesale bribery practiced by the railway com pany. Tho company gives truck for truck. It don't sow courtesies of this kind broadcast for nothing. Every free pass is framed in a consideration, ef we conld only get at tho facts, an tho consideration is mostly in favor of the company. It is a well-known fact that a drink of whisky will go ten times as far to'ards influencin' a man's vote as ten times the whisky's money's worth would go. On precisely the same principle a railroad pass has f orty-hoss corruptin' power. We cannot take time to explain the principle more fully in this issue. We simply ask, shell the the people of Goosetown be content to let this system of pass bribery to obtain, until it saps, the foundations of our institutions ? We trust not. We hope public sentiment will eventooally crystallize inter a law forbiddin' ail city officers an' judges to accept passes from railways, steamboats, canal-boats, and raits. That was about the heft of my edi torial. Thinks I, that'll draw like a poor man's plaster. The people will rally round me, mebbe send me to the Legislature ! But to make sure of it, I threw in a lot of stuff 'bout the tre- menjus inflooence of tho independent press in freein' tho people from the corruptin' an' overmasterin' power of the railway corporations. When I met Jim Shakleford next day he looked sort o' short grained. Said I, "How do you like my edditorial? It ought to save the company a heap of money. I've made a little calculation. Ef everybody pays, the company will make more than twenty thousand dol lars of a savin." "I reckon everybody will pay their fare, incloodin' the ass what edits the Streamer of Liberty" said he, jest like that. 1 An they did. It shet down tho hull bnsiness. Consequence was, everybody in office and everybody that wanted to get office (an that inclooded pretty much the whole town) came down on the paper heavy. Suit. Consequence was, I couldn't get credit for soap to wash my hands after that, let alone buy a whole ream of paper twict a month, so the Streamer of Liberty suspended. WlBT SUTTBEDaB. An interesting paper on hydrophobia was read by Dr Charles P. Russell at the meeting of the Medical Society of New York. Dr. Russell has given the subject much thought and research, and his essay will be a valuable contri bution to the not very extended litera ture of this most dreaded and myste rious disease. He fully sustains the views expressed by us some time since, that it is among curs and mongrels, the Pariahs and outcasts of dogdom, the disease . usually originates, and that theso should be unrelentingly destroy ed. I It is certainly better that ninety nine innocent dogs should suffer than one. guilty one should escape to destroy human life by the most terrible of agen cies. That is a doctrine which scarce ly Mr. Bergh himself can dispute, more especially since Dr. Russell supports Mr. Bergh's views, which are also the views of every sensible person, on the fallacy of supposing that muzzling dogs in hot weather will act as a preventive of the disease. Dr. Russell stated very clearly there is no distinctive season for hydrophobia ; and, if anything, there is rather less liability to it in the summer, unless the tendency . bo in creased by this most absurd and cruel practice of muzzling. Two points appear, in the discussion, says the New York Times, to haye been less fully elucidated than those who are interested in the subject would de sire. One is the curious eclecticism if we may so term it shown by the dis ease in attacking only ono or another out ol several who may have been bit ten by the same animal. This would seem to support the theory of those who contend that it is, to a great ex tent, an affection of the imagination and the nerves. Yet, on the other hand, cases are numerous where the imagination can have had little or no influence in producing the most horri ble manifestations of the disorder. And of these none are more remarkable than two instances recorded in the news papers about a fortnight since, and which, if authentic, tend to deepen the mystery and increase the inevitable- nesa which mako hydrophobia so appalling. .Eighteen years ago, it is said, one Daniel C. Weidner, of Farmingdale, N. J., then a child of six, was bitten in tho arm by a rabid dog. The wound, though painful, healed after a time, and he doubtless congratulated himself on a wonderful escape. No incon venience appears to have resulted from it until a few days ago, when,' on at tempting to wash his face, he was at tacked by convulsions, which the doc tors declared to be those of hydropho bia. In spite of every effort he grew worse, and died in great agony within iorty-eight hours after the attack. The weak point in this narrative, as we .find it recorded, is the omission to state whether at any time during this inter val of eighteen years he had been again bitten. It is plainly implied, however, that he was not, and that his hydropho bia was the result of the wound inflicted eighteen years ago. iBcldCMts of (ha Paris Civil War mm tala by lXcb.fart.

How the DlscoTtry was 2Iad, At the time of the last war between England and France, a brig, commanded by an American, was captured off San Domingo by the Sparrow cutter, under the belief that she was sailing under false colors, or, at any rate, earned enemy's goods. The Admiralty Court at Port Royal found the ship's papers perfectly correct ; and as the captain swore hard and fast to her American nationality, the Court decided in his favor. The Yankee immediately com menced proceedings against the Spar row's commander. Lieutenant Wylie, for the illegal capture. While the case was pending, a small tender, in charge of Midshipman Felton, entered the port, and the young officer bing a friend of Wylic , went on board the Sparrow, and was not long before he became acquainted with the lattcr's casemates of Boyard was a brave republican, who had been but badly slaughtered, and waited misfortune, and most unexpectedly do for the advent of night to crawl out I licrhted him by declaring the brig was a ' - a mm v from among the cadavrc with which he' was surrounded and to gain a place of retreat, from which he was not taken till several months afterwards.

In consequence of information derived from the strangely recovered .papers, the captain of the Trent frigate was in structed to look out for a certain brig engaged in the same risky business, having one Pearl Darkey for its mas ter. Before many days had passed, the Trent fell in with a vessel answering the description given, and Captain Otway ordered her to heave to. As soon as the American skipper appeared on the frigate's quarter deck, Captain Otway accosted him with, "Glad to see you, Mr. Pearl Darkey; you are tho very man L have been looking for.

We can only mention some episodes, . and it is the multiplicity of like events which augment their horror. I saw every day for ono year, walking in the court j ard of the citadel of St. Martinde Re, a young man whose name and profession J could never learn. He was walkingconstantly, his eyes wide open and fixed on something horrible, absolutely silent and forgetting the meals which his comrades served him, and which he took mechanically and without leaving his frightful contem plation. This unfortunate was ono of the rare prisoners who, taken to throw the dead into the carts, had escaped by a miracle, or. rather by the fatigue of the assassins, from the end which awaited him. Another, as a consequence of this lugubrious work, had not fallen into insanity like the other, but in the midst oi the unimportant conversation he would become pale all at once and ! would precipitately and several times 1 pass his hands all along his body, as if to make the blood run off. which he ! thought was perpetually dropping on his clothes.
