Among the many attractions of the hospitable Washington residence of Mr. Seward, late S retary of State, we bird-lovers class the parrots and the beautiful parakeets. Of all these, the most piquant, lively, and reliable entertainer w:u a certain stately old parrot, in a handsome live ry of green anil scarlet the Secretary's own par ticular pet and gossip. - This remarkable bird was, and, I trust, is though in a new home, and under a new administration, a right "merry old oul," appruaetiabK.. and con descending, social, lispiacioi;.. and little liable to the provoking moods and sulks, the eontrarious and cantankerous always peculiar to his race. His cage usually hung in the pleasant little li brarv opening off the hall, where he watched the incomings anrl outgoings of the household ; where he saw tuO visitors who dropped in, informally ; where he heard their iigl.t gossip, their hurritsi im.-iin--.. uii., or ineir gruvc iiiuinc or- ;i , .- nients on a Hairs of Mate. In political discus sions whenever they grew at all stormy, he i-spiv cially delighted, and seldom tailed to mingle royally ruling on the storm, and loyally echoing his distinguished master's seutiiucnls, or helping to laugh his opponents down. That laugh of his is the most startingly human sound I ever heard from the throat of a bird. It is frightful ftinnjr.j, Some time last slimmer, while the window near which the cage stood was kept .open, the parrot was attracted by the vocal exerci ies of an infant next door, one of those cherubic babes that "continually do cry;" and at length he startled the family by an imitation so dolorous ly perfect that it was feared some psr little east away had somehow been smuggled into the house. At another time, his master Was afflicted with a cough, and immediately his faithful "ancient" had symptoms of bronchitis. Certain voices were sure to excite his emula tion or his antipathy. On one owasion, when Senator Sumner wa.i discussing some political question with the Secretary not by any means taking pains to "roar him gcntlv," the parrot lie- came fearfully excited, and I was told, actually j screamed him down, with all sorts of unparlia- j mentsrv liootings and cat-caiis. there mav sen has it uoik been li.ud ol'a certain lovable lad v. connected with the faiuilv, and during the early pari uf the war, when he hvoii, nlly heard the lig of "John Brown," he look tin' fancy to hail the sight n." j her hv invariably singing out, "Glory, glory, hallelujah " n the only ndeonatc expression td; his fervent delight.

Such a system would, in twenty years liave made France as ssr and barbarous as France or the Carlovingians. Happily the danger was averted ; and now there is a desiMitisiii, a silent tribune, and an enslaved Press. Liberty is gone; civilization has been saved.

It may have been his private opinion that a Senate of spirited parrots would long ago have rebelled against a voice of that eq asm-rating and ex tatheara quality. Of lateyears, the politics of t his wonderful bird have probably been of the conservative type ; but I doubt not he has sown his own wild oats of radicalism. I doubt not there was a time wl such phrases as "The Irrepressible Conflict grand words which came from the lips of the great statesman crammed with nrbpheev and powei- were caught up by his familiar nnd val orously reiterated, defying the unbelief and the policy of the hour. 1 think it very likefv there was a period, when, sitting, nodding and wink ing on I is pi n il, in the midst of confusion and dread, the bird's cheery refrain was : "Ninety days, ninety days," Perhaps, still later, he talk ed persistently and knowingly of "Keconstrue tion," "Amnesty," "Alabama claims," "Alaska.".

Through such seasons the United States will have to pass in the course of the next century, if not of this. How will you pass through them ? I heartily wish von good deliverance. But my reason and wishes are at war, and I cannot help forboding the worst. It is quite plain that your Government will never 1)e able to restrain a distressed and discontented majority. For wiih you the majority is the Government, and has the rich, who are always a minority, als-o-lutely at its mercy. The day Will conic when in the State of New York a multitude of pco ple, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast or ex p.-cts to have more than half a turner, will choose a liCgisiaturc. Is it possible to doubt what sort of Legislature will be chosen? ( n one side is a statesman preaching patience, respect for vested rights, and strict observance of public faith. On the other in a demagogue ranting about the tyranny of capitalist arid usur pers, and asking way anybody should be er niittcd to drink champagne and to ride in a car ria&c, while thousands of honest folks are in waul of necessaries. Which of the two candi date is likely to be preferred by a workingman who hears his children cry for more bread ?

Under some cireum-, was going down for the third time. With unu- xtances it might be difficult to prove this propo sition, but we do not propose to enter into argu ments on the subject, but to make a plain state ment of facts. In one case wlu-re three men were bitten by the same dog, at the sapie time, we subjected two to the use of zinc. They are both living at the present time, altliou?''' this occurred several years ag, while the third man,, who was not treated in this way, died of hydro phobia on the fourteenth day. In another case, a gentleman, as well as a cow and horse, were bitten at the time by a rabid )?" We treated the man with the zinc; he "r-t .... a a still lives ; while the cow ana Morse both died within fifteen day... We might give many other cases illustrative of the emrfcv of this treatment but we consider these sufficient The method which we employ is as follows : Make a saturated solution of the chloride of zinc, and as soon as possible after tlui iiiiurv is sustained inject this into any or all the wounds made by the teeth of the animal ; let it be done with a small syringe and with sufficient force to bring the solution in contact with every portion oi the punctured abraded tissue. This should be repeated the second day, after which apply the water dressing uut il the parts which should In allowed to heal under the ordinary dressing, which will be effected if there has not been much laceration of the parts, in from ten to fifteen days. A- an internal remedy we use the carbonate of ammonia, ten grains to the half pint of water, this quantity to be taken daily for twenty days. The longest time which baa elapsed from the time the person was bitten until the above means were used were four hours, vet we are of the opinion, that this would antidote the poison even ten or fifteen hours after the injury for the rea son that the zinc in a form when brought in con tact with an abraded tissue, will net upon parts quite remote from the part injured, and will if taken up by the absorbienU, antidote the poison which may have permeated the Whole system many hours previous.

The last number of Lippincott's magazine contains an interesting article entitled, "A Lost "Chapter of History," which treats of one of Byron's in trigues. The paper give a remmie of the hi -i ..ry of his nnhappy marriage, and an account of hut liamm with Ladv Caroline Lamb, wife of Lord .Melbourne, and his greater love for his natural daughter Allcgre, who died at the age of 5 years, over that of the legitimate daughter Ada. The lost chapter of history refers to the memoirs of Lord By rim, written by himself, the destruction of whici Mr. Dodge characterizes as an "act of literary barbarism unparalleled since the Alex andrian library was committed to the flames." Byron informed his wife of the existence of his memoirs and offered to submit them to her for for examination, but she1 refused to see them. He then put them into Moore's hands and the latter pawned theni to Murray, the publisher, for the sum of 2(00. On Byron's death, Lady Byron's banker communicated with Murray and offered to pay the 2X10, with interest if Murray would consent to give up the autobiography. This the publisher refused to do, but ottered to submit it to examination, and if it contained matter unfit for publication, it should be destroy ed by fire. After much discussion ond many meetings Moore consented to its destruction, and it was burned. Death or a Clkkoymaw in the Pi-lpit. On the night of Sunday, the- 4th -instant; the Rev.

The Atlanta Cifiatitutiun says: "He had continued some teii minutes, when he suddenly stopped, and with a livid face and gasping utterance asked Mr. Kimball if anything apjieared to be the matter with him. He sat down in an easy position, folding his hands and throwing his head back on the sofa in a reclining manner. Perceiving1 his illness and at the same time observing that ne was quiet, Mr. Kimball arose and concluded" the reniion, alt the time thinking that Mr. Long was better from his qui escence.
