1’arih, April 1.—A reporter was present
.Yesterday at the double inoculation of
William Chapman Chamberlain, a wealthy
ranchman or Browoesviile, Texas, who
came to Paris for the purposa of being
treat id by M. Pasteur. This esse is of un
usual interest. Hr. Chamberlain waa bit
ten twenty-two days ago by a wolf, proba
bly suffering from rabies. Accompanied
by his brother, fid win Chamberlain of San
Antonio, and Dr. Spohn of the United
Slates marine hospital service corps of
Corpus Christ!, he sailed from New York
ten i ays ago. Dr. Spohn gives this ac
count of the affair:
‘‘Mr. Chamberlain’s ranch is ten miles
away from any place. 1 saw him first on
the evening of March 12, and found three
deep, ragged wounds on the right side of
his face. He had acted vigorously in try
ing to stamp out all evil effects by apply
ing carbolic acid, but two hours after his
own cauterization 1 determined that the
last treatment was too superficial, and de
termined to cauterize him again. My tech
nics! treatment was of a nerve-calming or
der.”
“Did yon notice anything before aud
during the journey?”
“Almost his first word was ‘don’t men
tion water in my presence.’ He even told
me to inform him if 1 saw any one around,
so thut he might cover his bead. He has
.lot tasted water since the 15tb of March,
i excised the injured parts, keeping well
outside of line of demarcation. The
wounds healed without further trouble.
Just before a fainting attack would come
on, his eyes would become injected, his
eyelids would tremble, aud ne would
become unconscious, and remain in that
condition for two or three boars, and
then regain consciousness only to complain
of being exhausted.
“1 decided to bring him to Paris to con
sult Pasteur. On the 17. h he asked me to
handcuff him or tie him. He bad do de
sire to injure us, but said that sometimes
he felt he must give way. I gave him
bromide freely, lie would not tell when
these stlacks were coming on, but 1 could
see a change in his eyes, which would be
come very red. Then he would ask for
bromide and usually went to sleep. On
the 19lh he had a very bad attack. I did
not know of it at the time, but he said
after it was over that no one knew how he
suffered and tried to control himself. At
times he became despondent and would
look bis brother and myself in the eyes
and refuse to respond to our solicitations
“He woul J imagine the was abused. He
would have bis way in every respect or be
come terribly excited and abusive. When
he came to himself again he apologized
and asked us to pay no attention to him,
as he could not control himself. Another
feature 1 noticed specially on the steamer
was that be would go off by himself into
some remote part of the vessel and there
lie down and refuse to notice anybody. As
long as too voyage across the Atlantic was
a novelty, he was all right, but
he gave way on the secoud
day. iu Liverpool and London he im
proved. In Paris he has been nervous
and despondent. After the first inocula
tion lust night his pulse rose from 72 to
110, the temperature to 99. 1 gave him
two teaspoonfuls of bromide, and he then
slept soundly for two hours. I then avoid
ed laking his pulse and temperature, lest
it might excite him. The aeurance that
there was nothing wrong had the desired
effect of calming him. 1 take it that all
these symptoms are of a nervously sympa
thetic character. 1 need scarcely add that
Pasteur’s treatment has a I read v given him
comforting assurance, preventing a dread
of the disease. He hopes to be fully
cured.
The operation has been so often de
scribed that it is unnecessary to state what
was done to Mr. Chamberlain. M. Pasteur
said the case was undoubtedly a bad one.
To begin with, it was the bile of a wolf,
and oi a wolf suffering from rabies. “There
is no generic difference,” said he, “between
wolf and dog rabies, but the wolf bites
deeper, andln this instance the wounds
are in the face. Another discouraging
fact is the length of time we
have to fight and conquer a speedy dec
laration of rallies. The hatching of the
disease is of uncertain duration. Suppos
ing that the term before the outbreak was
ended, we should naturally be battled, but
as from fifty to sixty days is the aver
age, we hope to be a match for all event
ualities.
“I have, however, every faith In my
treatment. Out of 306 cases latterly we
have only had two mishaps. The first was
a confirmed drunkard, who neglected the
treatment for several days. The second
was a woman who could not come regu
larly because the poor creature lived at
Columbus. On the other hand, out of
forty-four eases once treated seven had
ended fatally. Mr. Chamberlain will have
to keep quiet aud amuse himself ration
ally, diet himself in nutritive fashion with
good sound red wine and avoid spirits.
Tie bad better take an occasional bath. As
for symptoms mentioned by Dr. Spohn 1
think they are the off spring of a nervous
temperament.”
botib employment and aotual earning! for
Jebor. So far from depressing our domes
tic industries, the new bill avowedly seeks
to increase them in both volume and pros
perity.
It would be unexampled in the history
of legislation, If the so-called Mills revenue
measure la perfect; and the way to ascer
tain its imperfections is to carefally’ read
and consider the arguments so frankly
presented in its support. And they should
be carefully read and honestly
judged by alL The manufacturer
Is Immediately interested in the
growth of demand for his products; the
workingman is immediately interested in
the increase of employment and the main
tenance of wages; the whole people are
interested in reasonable prices for the
necessaries of life, and the capitalists are
Interested in the general prosperity of our
industries, for industry is the sole basis of
our wealth, prosperity and power. Every
citizen, rich or poor, capitalist or laborer,
should dispassionately study and honestly
jodge whether the house committee u
right or wrong in its revenue reform meas
ure, and they should give emphatic ex
pression to their views in advising their
national legislators.
There must be tariff revision and reve
nue reduction, and it is now practically
settled that the bill presented by the re
sponsible majority of the bouse committee
is the only measure that is likely to be con
sidered. The Randall bill cannot com
mand the support of the republicans, be
cause it is not radical enough in its pro
tection features for acme and not near
enough free trade for others; and it
matters not whose bill, or what bill, is
considered, as any measure will be open
to amendment in every section, line or
word, and there is where the honest judg
ment of the house should be expressed.
Let the committee bill be taken up in the
spirit of honest- statesmanship; let its de
tecta be corrected in the interest of coun
try rather than party, and when thus
perfected, let it he promptly passed.—
Philadelphia Times.
SPARKLING DIAMONDS.
THE ALABAMA SUBURBS.
OL.triic-IIon Tlieir Only Programme.
Since the report of the minority of the
ways and means committee it has become
perfectly ciear that the republicans in con-
g.oss are without a tariff programme ex-
c< pt that of obstruction. It is evident, at
the same time, that they will be unable to
meet the Mills bill with the united resis
tance which they and their allies made in
the measure of Col. Morrison in the Forty-
ninth congress. One reason is that Mr.
Randall will not be able to muster
to their support his former con
tingent. Mr. Randall’s own tariff
offspring died in its birth ; and the republi
cans have no substitute for it around which
they might rally. Another reason of the
embarrassment of the republicans may be
found in the existence of a strong senti
ment in favor of tariff reform In their
membership from the west. In the pres
ence of this sentiment they will not have
the courage to make a stand against the
consideration of the Mills bill—a pro
gramme which they announced with a
great deal of bravado a little while ago.
In the want of a republican tariff policy
the report of the ways and means minority
ind cutes the purpose to meet the
positive programme of the demo
cratic majority with a concerted
cry over the suppositions dangers
with which it threatens the trade and in
dustry of the company. But the business
community is too intelligent to be de
ceived by such a hollow cry of the advo
cates and beneficiaries of a policy which
seriously binders the healthy operations
of manufactures and commerce. So far
from heeding tbis clamor, the business
world recognizes the necessity of an early
adjustment of the question of revenue re
duction. Procrastination and delay would
greatly increase the financial dangers
threatened by the accumulation in the
treasury of vast sums of money which
should circulate through the arteries
of trade. The Mil’s bill is the only prac
ticable measure before congress and the
country, for the solution of the question.
The passage of this bill would not only re
lieve labor and industry of grievous bur
dens. but would put an end to the condi
tion of business uncertainty and insecurity
which must exist so long as tbis issue of
revenue reduction shall remain unsettled.
Those who shall undertake to defeat this
moderate measure, without offering any
adequate programme of tbeir own, will
assume a great responsibility before the
country.—Philadelphia Record.
A Protectionist on the Mills Bill.
The majority of the ways and mesas
committee of the house has prepared a
new revenue measure that revises the
tariff and reduces internal taxes. Whether
this measure is right or wrong in theory
or in detail, is the one important inquiry
for the American people, snd every citizen
of whatever political faith should care
fully read ana honestly judge the reasons
advanced in support of the new revenue
measure. That the several questions in
volved in framing the bill are treated with
candor will not be questioned. There is
no attempt at glittering generalities;
no evasion of the vital issue presented by
the bold departures taken, and if the rea
sons given justify the measure, it should
he approved; if not, it should be con
demned.
It will not do to answer an elaborate and
dispassionate presentation of frusta with
the cry of free trade. There is no attempt
to transform our tariff policy from protec
tion to free trade beyond the enlarged
free raw materials, which are made tree
wholly in the interests of mannflustnrers,
labor and consumers. The obvious
aim of the new - measure is
to enlarge domestic products, ea-
prgo the use of home capital, and enlarge
Some Valuable Jewels Worn by Prominent
Women.
Washington, April 6.—Now that lent
is over, capital society has resumed its
career of gaiety. Many of the social
heavy weights of the metropolis have re
turned to Washington for the past lenten
season. Mrs. Hicks-Lord created a sensa
tion at a reception, the other day
by appearing in an armor
jewels. Washington so -iety has
never seen anything to equal it in the
way of personal adornment. Her famous
$250,000 necklace encircled her throat,
she wore a pair of ear-rings probably not
equaled in this country. Her bodice was
a perfect mass of jewels. Her gems glit
tered iu the gas light like raindrops in the
sun. The design of many of them was
unique. One splendid spray represented a
cluster of wild roses, live petals of each
rose being five diamonds of similar size aud
shape. Another was a spray of fuchias
f Tined of hundreds of small and large dia
monds, about a dozen huge stars aud almost
as many crescents. She also wore
open fan covered with diamonds, in her
hair. Tbis is described as a chef d oeuvre
of the goldsmith. Each side of the fan
shows fifteen ra sed plaits aud the whole
studded with diamonds beautifully
matched in color and size. The gems in
the raised plaits are larger than those
which enrich the depressed ones, and
stones on the comb range in size from one
to five carats each. I am told that this
lady is also the possessor of a valuable
bouquet bolder shaped like a trumpet.
The materials in its composition are
chased Etruscan and red gold encrusted
with miniature blossoms of gold in differ
ent tints, upon which are scattered in
dainty profusion gems which resemble
dew drops. A well-known lady informs
me that Mrs. Lord owns a fan of the finest
white point d’Alencon combining flowers,
leaves and lyres in a manner anything but
conventional. The stocks are of while
figures enriched with gold ornamentation,
the outer side, being embellished with
hearts, lyres and other designs in gold of
different colors. The fan is to be worn
suspended from a chain of diamonds and
pearls. Her salts bottle is a dainty little
piece of work in rich yellow gold. It bangs
suspended by a gold chain fastened to an
ancient cameo brooch.
There is no city in America where the
fondness of American women for jewels is
better exemplified than in Washington.
Of course the Patriarch’s ball in New York
presents a magnificent array of jewels, but
they do not liave the wives of western
statesmen to shed their radiance upon the
scene. I am told on good authority that
tiaras are no longer popular. Mrs. Delan-
cey Kane of New York, possesses the finest
tiara in America. They must be worn by
women who have a certain amount of re
gal presence and carriage. They are much
more common in England than here. Mrs.
Ogden Mills of New York, recently wore a
set of magnificent sapphires, consisting of
earrings, necklace ana penaant, at a state
reception. The sapphires were splendid
stones, that in the pendant being nearly
as large as a hazle nut. The setting of the
pendant is peculiar. It is surrounded by
diamond spikes that are abont an inen
long, and that have a dazzling effect.
Mrs. Marshal O. Roberts wears the best
pearls that have ever been seen in Wash
ington society. She has three strings of
pearls, in three sizes, which hang round
the neck, apart from each other. Mrs.
Roberts also has a ruby pendant, set in
diamonds, that is one of the most beauti
ful pieces of jewelry in the country. An
other very handsome, bat curious piece
of jewelry, owned by this lady, is a lizard
with a ruby head, an emerald body, and
diamond legs.
If mtii:..
Mrs. William Star Miller wears five dia
mood stars in her hair, the largest in the
center. Mrs. Griswold Gray’s jewel case
contains some very handsome emeralds
So has Mr9. Evart’s and Mrs. Standford’s.
Almost every large diamond or large
jewel of any kind has a story or tradition
attached to it, though in many instances
the jewel has changed hands so often that
the story has been lost or forgotten. Two
possessors of historical gems have lately
been.in this country, ana both are bache
lors, so the stones lie in safe keeping at
the bankers. One of these men, the duke
of Newcastle, owns a diamond that is
among the twenty-four largest in the world.
It is pure white and emits the most won-
derfiii and dazzl.ng blue rays. It weighs
forty-five carats and was brought to Eng
land from the east by Mr. Hope, the grand
father ol the present duke. It had, it is
said, once been the eye of an idol and is
stained with blood yielded for its posses
sion. The earl of Ddudley owns the dia
mond known as the star of South Africa.
It is a little offcolor, but it is a beautiful
gem.—Foster Coates, in Macon Telegraph.
Matthew Arnold's Opinion.
America not only failed to provide Mr.
Arnold witli cheap cabs and good peaches,
but failed to interest him. There were
two things which be liked. First-, we do
not pnt “esquire” after a man’s name on
the envelope of a letter, and second, Amer
ican women, though their voices and in
tonations were displeasing to bis ear, had
for him the charm of a natural manner
lacking to the English. Those two, and
those only. For the rest,
America has neither beauty nor
distinction. The common and ignoble
S revaiL Even the landscape did not
elight him, nor the climate which he
pronounces harsh. Between the climate
of New Hampshire and the climate of
Florida he detected no distinction. Nor
is there any beauty in the cities.
Of the really beautiful in the othffr arts
ajd in literature—l^quote textuaily—very
little has been produced there as yet. Tha
very names of the towns annoy him. As
for distinction or elevation, we have it
not. We have had able men, Mr. Lincoln
for one. But Mr. Lincoln had no distinc
tion. The glorificst on of the average
man is oar religion. The newspapers are
oor damnation. The absence or troth and
soberness in them, the poverty in serious

mongenng are beyond belief. Their news

Whatever relates to culture becomes the
occasion of a sneer. Even oor American
accent^ so offensive to the cockney ear,

There are plenty of coltivated, judicious
and delightful individuals. So much he
graciously concedes. Bat be seems to con
sider them all cowards. They know, says
Mr. Arnold, perfectly well how false and
hollow the boastful stuff talked is,but they

Had an Eye Knocked Out.
Dolphus, a little boo of Mr. John Parker
of Marvin had his right eye knocked out
on Friday last by a smaller brother, who
threw a stick at him. The sufferer was

for treatment. Dr. Bullard was called In,
and he has hopes of restoring the lost eye.
Crop Reports*
A gentiefnan from Wacoochee valley
was in Browneville yesterday. He reports
that interesting section of Lee county as
suffering for rain. The ground is so baked
that corn can not come up, and no at

any farmer in that region.
To be Congratulated.
There is foundation for the report that

PAGE’S DIALECT STORIES.
His Masterpiece Written Fifteen Years
Before it Was Accepted.
A very touching little story has just
been told of Thomas Nelson Page, the
writer of charming southern stories,
whose firs’, “Meh Lady,” brought him
feme from the very day of its publication
in the Century. Fifteen years ago, a poor
boy, in a Virginia town, struggling with
the law, which he detested, Page wrote
“Meta Lady”, and sent k to the Scribners.
He heard no word of it, his letters were
unanswered, and in despair, he let the
matter drop: he felt that the story was as
good as any he conld write, and he turned
again to the detested law, and wrote no
more.
Twelve years after, when “Meh Lady”
was well nigh forgotten, he was amazed to
reoeive a check for it. and shortly after
ward to see it printed in the Century. The
story of its instant success is known to all;
after twelve years of dusty existence in an
editor’s pigeon hole, “Meh Lady” came
forth to charm a quarter of a million
readers.
This enforces again the oft-repeated and
as oft denied statement of the editorial
methods of great magazines. While “Meh
Lady” was thrust aside for years the mag
azine went on printing and paying for
much that was senseless, profitless drivel
—for even a great monthly does that
sometimes. “Meh Lady” came unherald
ed : she suffered a rude welcome. Over
and over again, spite of protestations and
denials, has the same thing occurred.
Those twelve years have been called a
“ wasted youth” for Mr. Page. That may
not be wholly true. Even while strug
gling along with the law he may have ac
quired a deeper knowledge of these life ex
periences that are needed by a story writer
of his class; a fuller sympathy, a truer
tenderness for human nature. It is one of
those questions that, being irrevocable, can
never be proven.—Boston Record.

Girard Sat Down On—Bridges—Matters in
Condensed Paragraphs.
Girard was sat down on bard in the con
vention held at Seale last Wednesday. All
her candidates were left out in the cold.
The delegates say that the other nine beats
were solid for the candidates nominated,
while those from Girard, perhaps rather
selfishly, insisted on the candidates from
her beat. Well, though we lost some very
worthy men, we should remember that
the majority rules, and it is better to sub
mit to the voice of the people than to kick
against fate. Girard has had a good share
of the spoils Id late years, and it is but fair
that other beats share the honors and
profits of office. The following are the
candidates nominated by the county con
vention at Seale: State senator, J. F.
Waddell; representatives J. V. Smith, T.
L. Nifbet; sheriff, H. T. Ragland; tax col
lector, L. C. Cooper; tax assessor, J. N.
Owens; treasurer, J. J. Ware.
Russell County Bridges.
As usual, Russell county suffered heavily
by the loss of bridges by the late freshet.
Commissioner Bennett of Girard, gives the
following information as to the rebuilding
and repairs of the several bridges: Mar
shal Burke is authorized to let out the
Nuckolls bridge. The Brinson and Bran
non bridge will receive attention from
Commissioner Bennett.
Turnpike bridge will be rebuilt by W.
. Revells. Bickerstaff bridge will be let
by Mr. Bennett. Commissioner Tom
Perry is instructed to let contracts for re
building and repairs of several bridges in
the lower part of the county. Fortunate
ly Girard did not suffer by the loss of
bridges. Commissioner Bennett is also in
structed to blast out the rock in the road
at Seven mile hill. Thus the good work
goes on.
The Templars.
The Good Templars of Girard have been
running a very successful festival during
the last three nights at Gibson halL It
closed at a late hour last night having
realized a snug little sum of money. Many
attended from the three cities, and it is the
common verdict that the festival was a
success in all respects.
Short Stops.
Work on the parsonage is progressing
rapidly.
Rev. E. A. Stone of Montgomery, will
S reach at the Girard Baptist church to-
sy at 11 a. in; and 7:30 p. m.
Mr. Dozier Thornton and wife, Mrs.
Wm. Cogbill and Mrs. Wm. Thorp, are ail
reported dangerously ill.

A Simple Invention Worth Millions.
It is wonderful how the discovery of
what is considered a trifling matter will
bring wealth to the inventor. Take, for
illustration, the perforated substance
used for bottoming chairs and for
Among the relics left by the ill-fated
Gen. Gordon, there are perhaps none that
have a greater importance to his country
men and to the world at large than the
“Letters to His Sister,” which have been
recently published. In them one can see
perfectly the kind heart and noble nature
of tbe hero of Khartoum. They treat of
many subjects, some interesting to his
friends alone, more to his fellow English
men, and a third class to the world at
large. Of this class one is here given.
From the. far distant Sondan Gen. Gor
don speaks with a prophet’s voice to all
young men. He is in . the desert, as he
writes, far from civilization, and is seated
before his tent trying to patch np his only
pair of shoes for tbe march on the mor
row. The task is a hard one. He is un
accustomed to it; but as be works, the
difficulty of his position gradually brings
him to think of others of bis race who
may be in the same position as himself.
“If I had sons,” he writes, “I certainly
wonld teach them a little of most trades.
You have no idea how feeble one feels,
not knowing these things. People in our
position of life must see the time has gone
past for sinecure posts; that their sons, or
grandsons, at any rate, must be prepared
for tbe colonies. What a number or use
less boys there are, who cannot even write
a good hand (I can’t, I know). I
had a signal failure with my
repairs on my boots to-day. A little
carpentering, black and tinsmithing,
shoemaking and tailoring, would be a
real gift to a young man; he would be
prouder of himself, feeling, ‘Let the worst
come to the worst, I am not useless.’ I
declare I feel for the poor little children of
tbe future, if we give the ABC education
we do now. Large schools are, to most
boys, not an advantage, but the reverse.
What earthly use will the Latin, Greek or
algebra be to thousands who have learned
and probably forgotten them?”
These words were written in the heart
of Africa by a great man straggling tor
civilization. Might they not have been
written in the heart of Philadelpnia by
many a weak man, unable to take advan
tage of that same civilization until after it
has passed him ? At any rate, they are
well worthy of meditation.—Philadelphia

Dear Sirs : I bought your first “ IRON
WAGON,” and It gives uie pleasure to give
you a certificate of its merit. I find that
it runs much lighter, and less draft or
strain on mules, and surpasses my expecta
tions in every respect. I have hauled
heavy loads of green lumber, and cheer
fully say that the wagon is all you claim for
it. It will save more wear on the mules
than any wagon I ever used. I am sixty
years old and have tested all wagons, and
consider your “ Iron Wagons ” worth fif
teen dollars more than the wooden wagons.
I recommend it to any man wanting a
wagon. We have tested it satisfactorily.
