BY A. .IAX, ESQ.
‘ Oid Steve,' or ‘ lying Stephens,’ as he was
familiarly termed, by virtue of a strong original
genius, and indefatigable perseverance and ap
plication, had acquired the reputation of being
the greatest liar that ever existed in the State of
therefore, at muster or training, be was sure to
be surrounded by a host of listeners, lie great
ly excelled the renowned Munchausen who sim
ply told extravagant stories, and sometimes blun
dered on the truth. Steve, on the other hand,
never told a word of truth, even by mistake, in
all his life, and lied circumstantially, and in eve
ry particular. In short it came to him as natu
ral as eating and drinking, or rat her as breathing,
for he not only lied to listeners but even when
he had no other person to talk to, he would tell
lies to himself, just to keep his hand in. This
fact was ascertained beyond a doubt, by his de
nying it in the most solemn manner when some
body accused him of the practice.
,%.It was Mr. Stephens’ good misfortune one
time to lose a great deal of money on a horse
race. Tnis made him feel uncommonly serious,
so be went to a camp-meeting, which was held
about five miles from his lesidence, to see it be
could make up a little “shaking props” with the
hoys. They happened, however to be too much
for him that time, and he was completely clean
ed out. This made our friend feel if possible more
serious than ever and ttosre happened to be a
powerful preacher there, who could make him
aslf heard at the di tance of a mile, he thought
he would turn over a new leal at once. When
he got home, therefore the first thing he did was
-to send for a minister. The worthy man came
and to his amazement found that Stephens wan
ted to join the church !
‘I have no hesitation in laying your proposi
tion before the brethren,’ said the good old man,
IHfring to smother a laugh.
*Ob course you haint, responded Steve, with
great confidence.
‘Am! if you could gi ve satisfactorily evidence
of the amendment, Mr. Stephens’, continue 1 the
minfjter, emphasising the word, ‘they might take
you ©i probation; at any rate, we have a meet
ing to-night, and can let you know to-morrow.’
‘Probation be d dogged !’ ejaculated Steve
as the minister hastily retreated; ‘why can’t
they let me jine at once, while I feel likejt?’
‘The proposition as might have been expected,
created a real sensation. There was hardly a
member of the church male or female "tvho had
not at some time or other, been victimised by
Stephens’ slanderous tongue and they could
9 hardly bear his name with patience. Some of
them went so far ?s to say that if he joined they
•would leave, and that settled the matter, for
they were among the ‘fore-handed’ members
who could not afford .to lose them. However to
avoid any trouble with the unscrupulous feilow
like Steve it was resolved to breathe the matter
9 to him as leas'l y?s possible. Two of the most
respectable men in the church were appointed
to call on him. and it was generally undeistood,
wa* their known mildness of disposition,
thatfevery possible excuse consistent with truth
wouil be made for not receiving him.
jjSps* rest of the story must be told in Steve’s
own words.
p ‘When old Deacon Peabody came along I sot
Brin the back door with a hoe-handle, and 1 hope
|F to suffer if I wasn’t mad enough to rare right
r up A cousin of my wife’s, whose sister was a
member, had come over ami told us all about
it.’
‘Good morn in’, Mr. Stephens,’ says the old
hyprocrite, with a face as long as a yard of pump
water.
I said nothing, but kept on w’hitling.
‘I came dow T n to see you this morning, says he.
‘Wal,’ says 1, how do you like my looks?’
a* ‘O,’ says he, ‘what I mean is, that 1 came down
to labor with you.’
u. ‘Work away then, why don’t you?’ was all he
got out o’me.
‘But, Mr. Stephens,’ said he very solemnly,
‘the church sent me down to talk with you a
minute.’
‘Wal, you’ve bin laiffin for more than five min
ute-?. Deacon Peabody, says I, and you’ve said
nothin yet, now when are you goin ? to begin?’
The old Israelite looked mad enough to bite
my head off at a snap, but he thought it best to
keep cool, so he drew a long breath and went on.
‘ifobody wants to hurt your feelings, or make
any trouble, Mr. Stephens, but the church have
comej to the conclusion, that perhaps on the
whole, under the circumstances, and in view of
everything it might be best all round, and taking
all things into consideration, for you not to be
hasty in applying jist at present. They think
on mature reflection, that it might be as well if
you’4«onclude to postpone it a little while, say
year or eighteen mouths.’
dew 1 Wal, now Deacon, what makes
think so? The church ain’t full is it *’
was a hard question. The oid sarpent
knew very well that it wouldn’t answer to say
hrfdidn’t know—for he knew last enough—and
knew that I knerv he did. So says he:
Kj!Mr. Stephens, I’m sorry your’e so riled about
it ; you’ve no occasion, I didn’t come to offend ;
E you know as well as I do why the church don’t
accept you.’
m ‘lf I knew, I wouldn't ask you to tell me, Dea
lt djpon Peabody.’
E? ‘ Well,’ says he ‘don’t you know’ what large
korics you’re in the habit of telling V
» ‘ Who says I tell large stories !’ says I ; it’s an
ontruthand you can’t pruve it ain’t." Now, ain’t
it a shame for a man like you to go around scan
dalizing a neighbor that way ? What a story
of mine did you ever hear that wasn’t true !
Come, lay year finger on the first story and I
won’t say another word.’
‘Wby, there’s so many on ’em answered the
Deacon, ‘that it is almost onpossible to specify
any one in particular. But now I think on’t;
dou’t you remember that story you told about
your father being killed by a bear V
'My father being killed by a bear?’ says I;
there it is now’! That’s just the way folks lie
about me ! It’s an ontruth, like the rest on ’em
and you ought to be ashemed, Deacon Peabody,
to be running round tel tin’ things that ain’t so.’
‘Well,’s»ii be pretty short, “ you made that
’ere observation about often enough; if you did’nt
say your father we 9 killed by a bear, what was
it you did say P
‘i’ll tell you: I said that father was one of the
first men to bring sheep into this tovVn, and that’s
no story, is it?’
*No,? said he, it ain’t.’
‘And l said that one day he lost one of them
ere sheep in the woods—and that’s likely, if it
ain’t true—and when he was looking lor it, 1
said he came across a bear. The bear growled at
dad, and he hollowed at the bear; and finall y the
beast came at him, and tore all his insides cut,
and ttien your father, Deacon Peabody—who
wes a respectable man, sir, and would never a
gone about town scandalizing his neighbors—
your father heard my father holler and came up,
and seeing how matters stoed, ran for the doctor.
When the doctor came, the first thing he did was
to catch a sheep and cut its inside out and put
them in the place of dad's and 1 never said dad
was killed by that bear?’
No, sir! I told the naked truth. I said he grew
as well as ever he was, except that he hankered
after hay alt the winter,and had wool enough gooum
to make aim an orlrcoct in the spring! You don’t
call that a large story, 1 hope. If you wont let
a fellow jine the chuich because he tails the
truth, you wont find many decent members, L
guess!”
The oiu man riz right up and walked away
without saying a word. What he thought I
never could find out, for the old Christian has not
opened his head to me since.— Carpet Bag.
Nil, Desperandum.—While there is life there
is hope, ii an old adage, and it is sometimes
curiously illustrated. Persons given up to die
are often saved by the superior energy of a nurse

nation. Oid Major Dash, who won his brevet
in the war of 1812, was suddenly taken down
with the cholera. It was at the time of its ap
pearance on this continent, and our physicians
had very little experience. The Major sank
rapidly, and a consultation was called. Several
doctors, after “putting their heads together came
to the conclusion that the patient was fatally i
sick, past recovery. No one, however, would i
make the announcement; when the Major, sus
pecting thp case, turned to a young doctor pre
sent, and said, “what is the report?”
if “That you can’t live,”

ty.
“Yes,” continued young hopeful, “just one
chance in a hundred thousand.”
‘ Then, why the don’t you work away
on that chance?” returned the Major, with a
voice of thunder.

Yellow Fever Treatment.'
The following letter from Dr. Daniel Hook, of
Atlanta, to his lriend Dr. S. D. Brantley, of this
city, in his reply to an enquiry made by the lat
ter gentleman as to Dr. H.’s mode of treatment
yellow fever. In lurnishing us this letter for
publication, Dr. Brantly remarks: “Dr. Hook’s
long experience and known ability in the pro
session, as well as his great success in the treat
ment of yellow fever in Augusta in 1839, make
his opinion valuable, and in the hope that I may
render some service to the afflicted of Savannah,
the home of my recent adoption, I have, through
his them and hope you will
give them to the public.”
The treatment of Dr. H., we learn, is the
same as that adopted and now in successful prac
tice by the Faculty here.
Atlanta. Sept. 15th, 1854.
Dr. S. D. Brantley :
My Dear Sir:—Your favor of yesterday, re
ceived this morning, asking me for the mode of
preventing and treatment of yellow fever, which
I found most successful in Augusta in 1839, I
answer at once, to manifest my sympathy with
our suffering fellow-citizens of Savannah, and
in the humble hope that 1 may thereby do some
good.
In reference to the prevention of this/ell dis
ease, I shall make but three remarks, as*my ex
j perience is very limited: Ist. Holding the opin
ion that it is of a congestive character, I have
always proposed to meet its insidious approach
by revulsion—or, in other words, by mustard
bath to the leet, and free potations of sage tea or
other unirritating diaphoretic drink. 2d. I suc
ceeded in keeping it off in my own case, in ’39,
until the 2d of October, by drinking lreely of
tea whenever langnox or a check of perspiration
admonished me of its approach. 3d. My driver
was preserved throughout the whole season by
the above, and the advice not to sit down or loi
ter in the houses or the shade of the houses, but
to be in his carriage or walking about in the
streets when not employed.
Entertaining the conviction that the yellow
fever proximately depended upon congestion of
important organs—most commonly of the ab
donainal viscera, I directed my mind wholly to
this’ condition, and regulated the treatment ac
cordingly. It wes, therefore, very simple. It
wes, first, to overcome the collapse induced by
the congestion—secondly, to remove the effects
of this collapse and congestion, high fever and
suppression of natural secretions; and, thirdly,
to prevent the recurrence of the congestion. As
soon as I went to Augusta to aid the afflicted, I
requested all who desired my services to send
for me immediately on the commencement of
the attack, and it gives me much satisfaction to
say that no one died of the many that thus called
me. No treatment do t consider as promising
uniform success, unless it is rt sorted to in the
first stage of the disease.
My first object, as may be inferred from the
above, was to produce reaction—that is, to re
call the circulation to the surface and to the ex
tremities. No means, to this end. in*my judg
ment, are to be compared, in excellence, to mus
tard baths and plasters. These w r ere used instant
ly, and continued until the desired effect was fully
produced. The baths w’ere hot and very strong
—they w’ere also put in the deepest vessel at
hand, so as to immerse as much of the legs as
possible. At the same tune the plasters were
applied over the stomach and to the arms and
thighs. During this effort at revulsion, nothing
was administered but ice water or other cooling
drinks. No stimulant whatever was allowed !
As soon as full reaction was produced, to abate
the level and to restore the natural secretions, one
large dose of calomel was administered. If there
was any apprehension of distress of the stomach,
it was given in divided portions, every hour or
two until the whole dose was taken. This dose
usually exceeded twenty grains. It it operated
well, nothing else was necessary—if not, a little
castor oil, of a large tepid water injection became
i dispensible. In this process, no stimulant was
allowed, and indeed, nothing but the cooling
dsi#ks of the fust stage. The least tendency to
a return of the congestion was promptly met by
a return to the mustard applications ! As a gen
eral thing, full reaction was a certain indication
ot cure, but sometimes the reaction was exces
sive, and then sponging with cold water was a
most valuable addition to the cold drinks. lam
very much inclined to think, from subsequent
| experience in typhoid fever and typhoid dysen
j tery, that the wet sheet would be more beneficial
than even the sponging with cold water.
In most cases—perhaps in every one where re
action-was produced in one or two hours from
the commencement of the attack—there wa- an
abatement ot the lever as soon as the medicine
' began to operate, or very soon thereafter, and
then my purpose was to brace up the system to
j prevent the recurrence of congestion. With this
view from two to five grains of quinine were
given every hour, according to the emergency of
the case. I know no substitute for this valuable
j article. It should be given to the extent of
! twenty, thirty, forty or fifty grans if the case be
j very alarming—but to protect the brain, I greatly
prefer giving it in small doses, and repeating
I until the requisite quantity is given. The uni
form heat of the body, the natural feeling of the
; skin, full soft and slow with the healthy
! character ol the perspiration, will indicate the
i time when it may be dispensed with. It should
be given mixed in water, dissolved in water with
j acid, or made into pills with molasses, honey, or
some syrup that readily dissolves. I have seen
life endangered by the quinine passing through
the system undissolved. The best adjuvant for
quinine, is occasionally to bathe the feet in mus-
I tard water, and to drink sage tea, with the view
i of promoting perspiiation. No stronger stimulant
j than sa.-e tea and quinine should be used through
out the whole treatment. Opium, brandy, &c.
; are fatal in their effects.
j One other lemark, and I shall have said all
j that I deem important or proper, in view of the
! object you have named—that of benefilting those
! who cannot secure a physician. It is this that
the foiegoing course was pursued whether called
late or early to a case; but I must be candid enough
to repeat, that it was only when resorted to in
the first hours of the attack that it was unifornily
succe. ffui. I may however add, that I found it
more successful than any other treatment in any
stage of the disease.
With much respect and kindness, I remain
your friend, Dan’l Hook.

I Specific remedies for the complicated ills of hu

of medicines that are warranted to thread the

The manufacturer of celebrated “ Life Pills”

will pay a premium for being humbugged. The
galen who calls things by their right names, and
tries to be honest with his patieuts, is generally
whistled down the wind, having but little other !
reward for bis labor than the approval of a good
conscience; the palaces and the “seven story

proverb, advertise to do more impossible things j
than make silk purses out of sows ears!
Fire at the Rail Road Depot.
About llj o’clock, on Sunday night the alarm
of fire was given, which was soon ascertained
to be occasioned by the burning of a couple of
cars at the deopt of the Central R. R. They
w’ere ready to start the next morning, destined
along the line of that Road, and its chains ot
communications as far as Nashville, Tenn. The
freight was in great part consumed, and the rest
rendered valueless. The flames were prevented
from spreading by uncoupling cars, and rolling !
them back on the track. In the immediate vi- i
cinity ol the flames was a powder-machine
which fortunately was untouched. The cars
were rendered useless, the wheels being cracked
by the heat. The goods destroyed were all des
tined for Tennessee, and would have gone
by the same cars to Nashville.
Great credit is due to Mr. James White, the
shipping clerk at the depot, for his prompt ex
ertions and efficient services occasion.—
He it was, who unhitched the cars while in
flames, and he was also the first to give the
alarm of fire. m
We deeply regret to add that Mr. Harrison,
one of the carpenters employed at the Rail Road,
was seriously injured while assisting in separa
ting the cars, by being crushed, between the
bumpers of the two cars, one of them striking
him in front and the other in the back. Great
fears are - entertained for his safety.
There is little doubt that the lire was set pur
posely. Two persons, suspected of having a
hand in the business, have been arrested and
are now lodged in jail, awaiting an examina
tion.
The opportunies for roguery, in the present
distressed condition of our city, are too good to
be neglected by the set of vagabonds who have
been lately and are now, prowiiug about our
streets night and day. It behooves our citizens
to be on the watch.— Sav. News , 19/A inst.
New York Steamers. —We are happy in
being able to announce the re-opening of regu
lar steam communication with the North. Ac
cording to the advertisements in the New York
Commercial, the new first class of steamship
Knoxville, Capt. C. D. Ludlow, was to have
sailed last Saturday at her usual hour, 4 o’clock,
P. M., so that she may be expected to be at her
wharf early this morning.

ida, (’apt. M. S. Woodhull, wilt follow in their

Provision iPanic.— We cannot doubt that
the growing crop in the United States, will fall
short of its usual average. Still with proper
care and economy -we believe each State will
have enough, in connection with an abundant
oat crop, for its own consumption. Wheat and
rye straw carefully sheltered or stacked afiords
lor stock a very good substitute for fodder or
corn blades. The present prospect in this sec
tion is very good lor a luxurant crop of crab
grass, which if cut in the mild and cured with
caie, will save many nubbins to the crib, and
prevent many a sigh at the stall. Look well
then to all these secondary but important crops,
and by the blessing ot a kind Providence, there,
will yet be plenty for man and beast. We be
lieve there is too great a panic in the country
upon this subject ot the provision crop. Cot J.
Watson Webb, who is now in England, writes
to the New York "Courier that in three months,
or before Christmas, wheat will have fallen from
65 to less than 45 shillings per quarter. This
lact will have a salutary effect upon the supply
of provisions in this country. Let the specula
tors then look out. — Milledgcville Recorder.
Pleasant Incident. —Whilst in Hancock a
few days ago, we heard a pleasant incident re
lated ol Bishop Pierce. A company had assem
bled to enjoy a social greeting, and partake of a
barbecue, peihaps at Double Wells, when the
Bishop unexpectedly ariived upon the cars, and
was waited upon and urged to make the company
a speech, agricultuial, political, religious or mis
cellaneous, as he might prefer. Fresh from the
classic groves, he gave them an eloquent har
rangue upon his lavoiite theme, education, and
took up a collection, for the establishment of a
female high school in Hancock. Some eight hun
dred or a thousand dollars were subscribed"on the
spot, which sum has been largely increased since.
The necessary buildings will soon be erected,
and the institution will go into operation with
very cheering prospects of success. We learn it
will be located about five rn.les from Sparta on
the W arrenton road. So much for social gather
ings and impromptu orators.— lb.
Important Despatches Concerning th. 9 Pur
chase of Cuba, etc.
Washington, Sept. 14, 1854.
It is whispered about the State Department,
and hi the White House, that despatches or let
ters have been received Irom Mr. Soule,our Min
ister at Madrid, of an arrangement with the new
government of Spain for the Island of Cuba
They carne, it is said, by the Africa. There is
no particular necessity for my vouching for this
statement, in these slippery diplomatic times,
but my authority is good—the very best—lor the
whisper at any rate, there is no mistake about
that. What is more, it is said that England and
Frafice,and especially the latter, favor the sale
(nm motives of sou fid international policy.—
Strange as all this may appear to those who w'ill
not believe in the purchase of the Queen of the
Antilles, I have an opinion—an individual opin
ion—that the purchase has been made. But, at
ali events, nous verrons. Then 1 u ill send furth
er particulars.
The foregoing we find in the New York Her
ald. To what confidence it is entitled, we know
not—very little we suspect.

Health of C harlestou.
The Charleston Board of Health report the
deaths of one hundred and sixty perons in that
city during the week ending the 16th inst. Os
i these 148 were whites and 12 colored. Os the
| whites 126 died of Yellow Fever, and only one
1 black by the same disease.
| Another Physician Gone! —lt will be seen
by the list of interments published to-day, (says
the Savannah Republican) that Dr. James M.
Gordon has been snatched from us in the midst
of his usefulness, by the unsparing hand ot death
Dr. G. came to Savannah from Atlanta, but a
short time since, and was engaged in the drug
business as one of the firm ol J. B. Carter & Co.
As theepidemic increased he resumed the prac
tice of his profession, which ill health had forced
him to abandon, that he might aid his brethren
by contributing his mite to the alleviation ot suf
fering and distress, and fell a martyr to the noble
cause that engaged his sei vices.
M rss Eliza Kogan. —The Savannah News
says—The reader, on seeing the name which
stands at the head of this article, will recognize
it, as that of one who has often clrarmed them
bv her admirable displays ot genius on the stage,
and won their esteem and attachment by the
graces which adorn her character as a woman.—
She again makes her appeaiance before the Sa
vannah public, not in any new’ part, but one
familiar to her as the breathes—in that
of a benefactress. On the list of contributions,
published this morning, as having been receiv
ed by the Young Men’s Benevolent Association,
I will be found, opposite to her name, the sum of
Two Hundred Dollar’s as a gift to the relief of
j the sick and suffering in our plauge-smifcten ci
i ! ly.
We hope, under happier auspices, to welcome
j her again upon our boards; and we can safely
| predict the sort of reception which our grateful
and warm-hearted audiences will give to one,
who has ever been with them a favorite, and
has now proved herself to be their friend in
need.”
Sad Occurrence at a Bridal Party in Il
linois. —A sad affair took place at Elgin on Fri
day night week, says the Montgomery Adverti
ser, which resulted in the death of Edmund Ad
| ams, a. young man about eighteen years of age,
and a resident of Elgin. It appears that a young
man by the name of Cyrus H. Larkin was mar
ried the evening before, and his acquaintances
made up a party for a Charivari. Assembling
round the house they struck up with bells, tin
pan and instrumental accompaniments, when a
gun was twice discharged in, their midst from a
window, taking effect upon young Adams 5 , who
instantly fell. He was removed to his father’s
residence, when it was found that two buckshot
had entered his forehead. He lingered until
Saturday night when he died. A jury was sum
moned, and brought in a verdict that the deceas
ed came to his death by shots fired from Mr. Lar
kin’s house, by some persons or persons un
known to the jury. It was proved before the
jury that Mr. Larkin borrowed the gun for the
purpose of shooting at the party if they cam : to
his house. Both of these young men had resi
j ded for a long time in Elgin, belonged to highly
respectable lamilies, and were esteem 2d as quiet
| and exemplary young men. The affair has cast
| a gloom over the place, and clouded a life which
was glowing with hope and happiness.
The Yellow Fever. —The Charleston Stan
dard, of the 20th inst., says:—We ar»j sorry to
perceive from the report of the C\ty B“gister
that the number of deaths from th< 3 epidemic for
the past twenty-four hours has gr eatly exceeded
that of any one day since the a s pearance of the
disease amongst us. This inerf a se is no doubt
attributab'e to the very unfav' jra ble state of the
weather, the change of which have been so very
sudden within the past fev / days. We are iu
hopes, however, that the d isease has reached its
climax, and that we willi row be able to note its
steady decrease, until it. .shall have entirely dis
appeared from our midst, and our city again as

f The Effects of the Late Storm. —We
. have reason to fear lrotn various accounts and
private letters which we have seen, that the in
jury to the rice crop by the late storm, is even
i greater than was at first supposed. Some plan
r ters who went to their plantations even for a day,
1 were compelled to leave immediately on ac
count of the stench and of the spoiled and dacay
’ ing rice. Others have given prompt direc*ions
* for the removal ot their negroes into tents in the
r pine lands. Private lePeis from the Ogeechee
river say that the whole crop of that river will
not exceed fifty thousaud bushels, less than one
fourth the usual crop, which he believes is near
three hundred thousand bushels.
To this falling off in the quantity of the crop
the loss in quality must also be added; much of
the rice which is saved must come to market in
a damaged* state. It will be necessary that due
caution be observed on this head. Let us, if pos
sible, avoid introducing the cholera after the fever.
We remember well that after the freshet of two
years ago, the cholera along the coast and some
similar cases in Charleston, were attributed to the
mse of damaged rice. It were well, therefore,
that the planters knew early that proper steps
will be taken to prevent a recurrence of thie
disaster. Thus the careful planter who prefers
to save a little that is sound rather than unsound,
will be sure of a good price for the little which
he may save, and the careless or unsuspeetting
consumer may be saved trom the use of unwhole
some food.— Char. Standard, 2Qlh inst.
