The Doctors —How They Impress the
“Man and Brother.”
Not long ago there was a grand meet
ing at Louisville Ky., of the Medical
Association of America. Such r con
gregation of the disciples of Galen
was never before witnessed in this
country. To the white population of
Louisville, the advent of the professors
of the healing art was an occasion of
jollity and good fellowship. The Cau
casian public listened with attention to
the scientific discussions, and varied
the programme by a round of ban
quets which were far more acceptable
to the stomachs of the physicians than
calomel and jalap. For a moment, at
least, tho pale faces of Louisville
remembered only with hilarity the
solemn men who doso mankind and
strive to lessen tho ills that flesh
is heir to, unless the patient himself or
herself dearly loves to be sick and is
satisfied with nothing short of the
most expensive or excruciating treat
ment. While the doctors were thus
entertained fearlessly and fervently by
the dominant race, tho “innocent cause
of the war”— Sambo to wit—beheld their
advent with horror most pitiable but
not unutterable. The city editor of the
Courier-Journal thus cleverly sketches
the darker side of this portentous con
clave of Esculaptans:
There isn’t a darky wearing out his ex
istence on the loveo who is not afraid to go
foi’ty feet from where he lives after dark,
on account of there being so many doctors
in the city. “ No, sah, you ain’t gwine to
got die nigga to fool about town after dark,
kase deni: doctors is ‘ bad medicine.’ You
be walkin’ ’long ’tending to yo’ own busi
ness, and tho fust thing you know dey’s
gone got you. Dey cum from de Norf,
whar niggars are skase, an ’dey cut a nig
ger up, skin him, take de insides out, an’
pin de bones together; den go off an’ show
how de white folks is put up, by p’Jnting to
a nigga’s skillington. No, sah! dem pill
rass’lers an’ wermifuge venders ain’t gwine
to lay eyes on dis nigga arter dark, kase I
tole you, chile, ’taint safe for a nigga to go
foolin’ ’round til dey leab dis town.
That the above is a truthful illustra
tion of the superstitious fear of the
negroes concerning the apostles of
medicine we fully believe. When the
students at our Augusta College are in
tow r n, many of the colored people keep
within doors after dark, and do not
hesitate to tell you that they never
trust the young fellows who come here
from the country to investigate the
mystery of drugs and the arcana of
the human cadaver. The black folks
know that these doctors in esse have
to acquire the knack of carving dead
bodies in order that people may not
prematurely die. It would seem, from
circumstantial evidence, a belief is cur
rent that medical students, when
the nights are moonless, station them
selves at convenient nooks and ave
nues, armed with murderous weapons,
and from their lairs sally forth for the
destruction of colored people who
are estray. Hardly a negro in
this city believes otherwise, and
it is with a heart at drum-beat
and eye askew at the gable-end
window of the College, that the belated
freedman hurries homeward, and,
when safely ensconced there, thanks
the Lord that either the students are
not abroad or else some protecting
spirit has shielded him with a pinion
of immortality. Before the war, the
clarion of “Big Steve” sent every
Ethiop to his roost at 9 o’clock. The
“late unpleasantness” and its results
put an end to that curfew, .\nd, in the
exultation of a new-born privilege, the
swarmed the streets late at
night, just to show that matters had
been transmogrified. Presently, how
ever, came the United States soldiers,
and between them and the blacks
there grew a palpable hostility.
So pronounced was this feud
that a majority of the ex-slaves did
not trust themselves abroad after
dark. When the soldiers had “folded
their tents like the Arabs” and ab
squatulated for South Carolina, or the
Indian Border, the freedmen crept
forth again, but not with the same bra
vado and sense of security that once
were theirs. Just about the time
somewhat of their old confidence re
turned, the learned Faculty of this city
determined to reorganize their shat
tered forces, rehabilitate their battered
buildings, and issue a pronunciamento
to the rural districts and the world
that new doctors were required to tor
ture or recreate the body politic. Not
vainly did this appeal of venerable
and honored science fall upon the
country. The aspirants for college
diplomas and the handle of M. D. to
their names hied them to this beautiful
city, took up their quarters here and
bestirred themselves to read big books,
horribly illustrated, listen to lectures
from experienced professors, and man
gle “subjects” in a manner approved by
the demonstrator of anatomy. On
the approach of this vanguard of medi
cal students the nocturnal happiness of
the colored people vanished, never to
return while a spectral lamp winks and
blinks its demoniac eye at the corner of
Washington and Telfair streets. At
the departure of the students with their
tin-boxes and sheepskin certificates,
a feeble ray of security lights up
dark crannies of the freedmau’s
soul, and the streets at night
know him, in small detachments, once
more. But when the Dean of the
Faculty shall, this Fall or Winter,
issue another ukase to the counties of
Georgia summoning another crop of
the rising generation to rally to the
standard of Materia Medina, the freed
people will fall back upon their en
trenchments as the head of the Doc
tor’s column approaches the suburbs.
While that column of Hygienic youths
shall pitch their tents in our midst we
need no sound of bell to clear the ave
nues and by-ways of dusky itinerants;
for each student is a “Big Steve” in
pantaloons, and one innocent cough
from the medical tyro’s throat is, to
the Ethiopian ear, a ghostly wcrn
ing that the mystic night cannot
charm him in such conjunction, and
that the starry dome is not near so re
splendent as the cob-webbed rafters of
his greasy cabin.

The Grasshopper Plague—The Insect
in Politics.
If accounts from the Northwest are
true with regard to the scourge < f
grasshoppers now afflicting that re
gion and threatening illimitable woe,
it would seem that the man who pre
dicted more than a year ago that a
plague of insects would come upon the
country was either a lucky guesser or
an inspired seer.
When a Missouri Governor issues a
proclamation appointing a day of gen
eral fasting find prayer, in order to
evoke supernatural aid against grass
hoppers, the matter has become serious
indeed. It has been observed, too,
that notwithstanding the full granaries
Of the West, wheat is higher in Chicago
(freight added) than in New York
or Liverpool. The first suspicion
was that this grasshopper scare
had a mere speculative basis.—
The New York Tribune takes a
different view, and thus speaks : “This
grain is not held here by speculators.
It is in store here on account of the
owners who live in the country and not
in the city. The men own the property
and are able to hold it. They have
reached tho conclusion that a large
area of winter wheat has been killed
and the ground plowed up ; that the
spring was so late that far less grain of
all kinds has been sown this spring
than usual; that the winter, though
unusually severe, failed to destroy or
materially reduce the grasshoppers,
whose depredations, already begun,
will this year be extended over a more
eastwardly section of the country, and
that for these and various other rea
sons there will be a much reduced crop
in 1875. Upon this basis the owners of
these many millions of bushels of grain
in Chicago are holding it for the ad
vanced prices which they feel certain
will prevail this year.”
That the pestiferous insect,with buoy
ant wings and monstrous legs, is bound
to have a very impressive effect upon
the prices of grain and provisions there
can be no question. No such panic as
now promises to prevail in the North
west provision marts can fail to have a
prodigious influence upon politics. The
cackling of a goose saved Rome. The
ravages of grasshoppers may save the
United States by reminding the people
that ever since Sumner, Greeley, Grant
& Cos. have come upon the scene of ac
tion, to reconstruct society and defy the
mandates of Jehovah, the country has,
in the long ruu, had no genuine peace
or prosperity. The Radical factions of
the East and West have tried their
foolish experiment long enough, to
everybody’s cost. Let them return to
the principles of the fathers of 1775,
and perchance we shall be freed from
human grasshoppers, as well as the
bug which now swallows sustenance
up.
An Old Time Spelling Bee.
We find floating around the press,
without credit, a .humorous descrip
tion of a “Spelling Bee” among Mr.
Adams’ Cabinet. No doubt the whole
thing is a coinage of some fertile imagi
nation, but it may be said of it, as has
been so often expressed of other
witty things—if not true, it is happily
conceived. Hear the wag :
Mr. Adams held a book in his hand, from
! which he selected the words. He said that
his administration had called publio at
tention to Gen. Jackson’s want of know
ledge in orthography, and that it behooved
them all to mind their P’s and Q’s, and
that he had assembled them for the pur
pose of exercising them in spelling. He
then took his seat and commenced giving
out words, sayiog, spell “female.” Mr.
Clay began by spelling it “fe-mail;’ 1
Southard, “fee-male;” Barbour, “ phe
male;” Porter, “phe-mail;” McKinney,
who stood foot, and being a cats-paw for
the Cabinet, had put himself there without
being asked, [.when Mr. Adams nodded to
him, spelt at the top of his voice, “ phe
mail.” Mr. Clay had by this time recover
ed his self-possession, and being very fa
miliar with tho subject, spelt it right. The
next word was “ negro,” which was given
out to Southard, who, having once beon a
schoolmaster and taught latin to two or
three boys in Virginia, spelt it “ ni-ger.”
The lord of tho empty barrels, as Mr. Bar
bour was popularly callod, was at home
with the word, and spoke out with his full
orerotundo voice, “nig-ger,” that being
the Virginia way of pronouncing it. Por
ter spelt it “ni-gro.” Mr. Adams, burst
ing with his pent-up rage, threw the book
at McKinney’s head and dismissed the
class; McKinney going off, blubbering out
that he would bet a copy of the Declara
tion of Independence that Mr. Adams
couldn’t spell Michilimackinac or Anabom
inablehumblebeewithhistailcurtailodanhalf
aninchormore.
Aohast. — The New York World is
aghast at the announcement that 200
“ roosters ” had graduated in the Co
lumbia Law School. The World won
ders how they are to be provided for.
While there are follies among men, dis
putes, fpig-headedness, injunctions and
pure-cussedness geueially, the law'yers
will find something to do, and good for
them, too, say we. There are 6,000 law
yers in the United States, but only
think how many millions of unprofes
sional men exist in this country who
must have somebody, bred to the busi
ness, to get them into the scrapes they
hunger for, and get them out, if Piovi
dence, the statute, the jury and the
judge, graciously permit escape.
Poetry.—Sidney and Clifford La
nier have jointly constructed a poem
called “The Power of Prayer” for
Scribner’s Magazine. It is an inge
nious puzzle done into Ethiopian jar
gon, but not poetry. The true talent
of Mr. Sidney Lanier is in other atmos
pheres cf thought. He must have been
eating baked beans when he put prayer
upon such a pair of stilts.
Suicide. — Foreign correspondents of
American journals report that a suici
dal mania has seized upon many Ital
ian w'omen, of late. The same is true
of New Orleans. The latest Picayune
we have received records a distressing
case, the unhappy victim being young
and beautiful—but poor.
Augusta Enterprise. —We copy to
day the Atlanta Herald's report of the
cotton factories in this city and vicinity.
The figures given by our Atlanta con
temporary were not altogether accurate.
We have had them corrected by au
thority, and present a very readable
and truthful account of very great in
stitutions,
The Side Show.—We have had an
elaborate account of the serious glori
fication of the Mecklenburg Centennial.
Here is a side show ;
Wanted, ten printers at this office to-day
It is by the almost super-human efforts of
the editor aud proprietor that this paper
appears this morning, owing to a want of
mechanicai force. Our hands are not sick;
with a few exceptions, are either drunk or
demoralized by the centennial ceremonies.
—Charlotte Observer, 20th.
Call it not “ drunk.” Say rather “ in
toxicated with patriotism and mad
with joy.”
Disgusted.—Though the Republican
vote of Kentucky is five-sixth negro,
the white Radicals, at their recent con
ventions, have completely forgotten
that there is a freedman in existence.
Once, it is said, a colored delegate es
sayed to speak, but so swift was the
extinguisher put upon him that it is
doubtful whether he will ever speak
again—at a public meeting in Ken
tucky.
