Hr. Win. A. II a ni in on <1 Experimenting With I)r.
IiroiTii-Seiiumt'ii Elixir of Lite.
A special to the New York World
from Washington says: Dr. Win. A.
Hammond of this city is experi
menting with the elixir of life
recently discovered by Dr. Brown
Sequard, of Paris, and, thus far,
he says the results are fully equal
to the promises given out by the
great Paris physician. Dr. Ham
mond was sitting on the veranda
of the fine new hospital, which he
has just built outside the city limits
when a correspondent called on
him to-night.
“It is true,” said the doctor, “that
when Dr. Brown-Sequard’s discov
ery was first reported io the Ameri
can people, I was rather dubious
and inclined more or less to think
as others had hinted, that either the
report was a French joke, or that Dr.
Brown-Sequard was another good
man gone wrong. The first report
did not give a good idea of the treat
ment. It indicated, rather that the
elixir was a compound from various
glands of various animals, and on
that showing I was willing to say
the tiling was impossible. But
when I obtained further and more
accurate details from the French
medical journals I was willing io
believe that there might be some
thing in it. I was willing at all
events to put it to the test, and
about a week ago I started to ex
periment. Dr. Brown-Sequard
uses only selected portions of the
rabbit, or guinea-pig, simply be
cause, I suppose these are the only
animals upon which experiments
are usually made in the French
laboratories; but I have adopted
the lamb, which I think is better.
The lamb you know is ;an ani
mal that is good to eat, but we
don’t eat guinea-pigs.
The preparation of the medicine
and the treatment of the patient
are very simple. I take the select
ed portion of a lamb freshly killed,
and pound it into a pulp in a mor
tar. With this I mix a teaspoonful
or two of water, and the result T fil
ter through fine Swiss filtering pa
per. The fluid, slightly thicker
than water, comes through perfectly
pure and limpid. The filtering
must be carefully done, for if any
shred or any part of the pulp were
injected under the skin it would
form abscesses and do harm. The
extraction from a single lamb will be
sufficient for a dozen injections. It
does not matter to what part of the
body the application is made, hut
the most convenient place is under
the skin of the forearm, where
the °kin is comparatively slick. It
would hardly he safe to inject the
fluid derived from a body twenty-
four hours after the killing of the
animal. The injection of blood and
of the juice of beef into wasted pa
tients has been common tor years,
and it is well known that to inject
the essence of decayed beef would
kill the man. As soon as the lamb
is slaughtered by the butcher no
time is wasted in pounding and fil
tering, and within an hour of the
killing of the lamb, the juice is cir
culating in the patient’s veins and
mingling with his blood. I began my
first experiments on myself to as
sure myself that it was not danger
ous to the patient. Since then I
have applied the elixir to several
old gentleman without knowing
what it was. One man, about sixty
years of age, had his arms so nearly
paralyzed with rheumatism that
for a year he could not raise his
hand to his head. Soon after the
elixir was injected into the arm he
could weikl it in any direction,
and almost as vigorusly as he had
ever done. Up to the present my
experiments have been made with
out the patient’s knowledge, but to
morrow I am going to begin treat
ing a man in this way at his own
request. Of course it is too early
yet to draw any sweeping conclu
sions from the result obtained, but
as far as I have gone the results are
certainly remarkable. When I
shall have continued my experi
ments longer 1 shall be able to
draw conclusions with more confi
dence. Dr. Brown-Sequard’s cal
culation is that an injection once a
month will suffice to keep a man
twenty or thirty years yonger than
he really is.

place in the Sowhatchee neighbor
hood, last year mortgaged his prop
erty to Thomas Henderson, in
Blakely, hut when fall came Gay
sold his crop, etc., in Columbia, Ala.,
and lit out for Florida. At the Oc
tober term of court the grand jury
found a true bill against him for
selling mortgaged property. A re
quisition from the governor of Geor

week Sheriff Black and Mr. J. II.
Taylor went after Gay, They found
him about twelve miles from Cot-
tondale, Fla., and arrested him.
He requested to be allowed to come
by his home, which the sheriff kind
ly granted, and he was with his
family two or three hours. Then
he wanted to go by his brother’s.
This he was allowed to do also.
Then he asked permission to walk
just behind the buggy with his boy.
Knowing there was little chance
for him to escape the sheriff allow
ed him to walk several hundred
yards with his boy. When told to
get in the buggy so that they might
travel faster, Gay begged just a
few more minutes respite, which
was granted.
Just as soon as the sheriff’s head
was turned for a moment he whip
ped out a razor, hallooed “good-bye”
and cut his throat with the razor. The
sheriff ran to him hut he had a fatal
wound and died in a few minutes.
The boy says his father told hnn
lie was going to kill himself hut lie
would not tell the sheriff because
told not to do so. A jury of in

An (Mil Mini Murdered.
Nashville, Tenn., August 5.—
The particulars of a foul crime have
reached here from Decatur county.
John A. Huffman, about seventy-
one years of age, was murdered at
his home. He went to his garden,
one hundred yards from the house,
and after getting a pan of potatoes
for dinner, was waylaid in a little
strip of woods while returning. His
head was burst open with a large
hickory club, and his throat cut, the
the head being almost severed from
the body. The murderer then drag
ged his victim about ten feet and
hid the body behind a log among
some grape vines and low bushes.
Suspicion rests upon Steve Gullige
a young man from near Troy, Ken
tucky. He was reared in the
neighborhood, but got into several
scrapes and left about seven years
ago, returning July 29th. lie had
heard of a boast that old man Huff
man had made to one of his kins
men, John L. Gullige, while under
the influence of whisky, to the ef
fect that he had a bushel of half dol
lars, and he could buy the entire
Gullige family. Steve Gullige made
himself quite familiar with the old
man, going to see him several times
a day, staying seyeral hours each
day. On the Sunday previous to
the killing, he started to church at
New Prospect with a number of
young men, hut left them and re
turned to Mr. Huffman’s house,
where he spent the day. Since the
murder he has not been seen. The
old man was frightfully mutilated,
lie was a widower and lives alone in
a little cabin,doing all his own work.

A House limit of Stolen Timber.
The Athens Chronicle met an old
citizen Saturday, who made the
startling assertion that he knew of a
man who had put up a small shan
ty, the entire material of which
had been stolen at odd times. He
said he had seen that person fre
quently carrying home an odd piece
of plank and then at other times
other pieces of lumber, and so on
until after awhile he had collected
enough material to build the little
hut in which he lives. Not a sin
gle article did he purchase—the
whole thing was stolen.

those rich lime lands, and lived in
palaces in keeping with
wealth. Then we pass the old Sam
Grier plantation, which before the
war, was one of the richest in the
state, and the elegant mansion
built in rich pattern of his day
was known for its beauty and ele
gance outside of Georgia. On this
place Mr. Grier made a fortune
burning and barreling lime for
market, and in close proximity to
this antique lime kiln is located
the miniature mammoth cave.
Its opening is about three feet in
diameter, through which we de
scended about twelve feet to the
stalagmite floor. The first room is
about twenty feet square, with ceil
ing of glistening stalactite and
moist carbonate of lime above. In
it we found various shells the size
of a large oyster shell, rocks of
every shape and vorious curiosities.
As we proceed further are large
rooms and small ones, and enclos
ures so small as to necessitate
crawling through to proceed further

hundred yards in its interior you

wending its snakelike path around !

Further on we hud other enclosures
and large anil small rooms, bluffs of
rapid descent, winding stairways
formed by nature and well made
seats as if made by hand.
Reyond these another stream
wends its way hut with rapid mur-
murings, clear as diamonds, with
a little wall of limestone on each
side which seems to act as guide
for this babbling brook as it wends
its way over its pebbly bed. We
cannot say how far this cavern ex
tends, hut 150 yards only carries
you to new scenes, new windings,
new-shaped shells, new curiosties,
which show that this might have
once been the bed or bottom of some
marine body or the habitation of
marine animals.
There is close to this cave an old
Indian trail, and various are the
superstitions of this aboriginal tribe
concerning it, one of which is that
it was the abode of King Eolus, and
at this opening he sat guard in
his kingly splendor to suppress the

let them fly out in rapid ruin if not

of the field at his row’s end. These
dogs are trained to patrol the adja-
their cent forest, and no human being can
approach without being exposed by
these vigilant sentries. At night
the dogs and goats lie about the
cabin—the goats without the yard
inclosure and the dogs within.
When any human being approaches
these goats set up an unearthly
series of bleating. The dogs within
understand the signal and rush
furiously at the Intruder. Armed
to the teeth the proprietor hails the
visitor. If found to he a friend one
word from the hermit silences both
goats and dogs and the guest
is invited in. Thus guarded this
desperate man says he sleeps more
securely than the czar because,
unlike the imperial cohorts of the
latter, his faithful sentinels can

A CharlotteJman who spent the
day in Salisbury yesterday, gives a
News reporter some interesting
points about the big canning facto
ry of Mr. J. Lanier, located at that
place. He says that Lanier’s can
nery demonstrates what can be
done on that line in North Caroli
na. Mr. Lanier has thirty-five acres
of the finest tomatoes ever grown,
and lie cans them at the rate 132
cases each day. A case contains
one dozen cans, four drays are busi
ly engaged in hauling goods from
the factory to the depot. In addi-
to this Mr. Lanier cans peaches.
Our informant says that in front of
his factory yesterday wagons load
ed with beaches stood in line like
cotton wagons at the Charlotte plat
form in October, waiting to he un
loaded. The canned goods of this
factory are equal if not superior to
those of the northern factories, and
sell at good prices. Mr. Lanier has
all the business he can attend to,
and is arranging to increase his
facilities. How is that tor the can-

Mil} a Convict in a California Prison Was Par- j place Of Mr. Sail!. FnnlS, about eight
miles east of this city. It was
noticed this morning that the
water from the well in his yard had
an offensive smell as well as a very
bad taste. An investigation was
at once begun, and resulted In
the discovery of a dead negro in
the bottom of the well. The negro
is supposed to be a young fellow
who has been working on the place
by the name of West. He turned
up missing this morning, but noth
ing serious was thought of his ab
sence until the discovery was made.
Mr. Ennis heard the negro going
to the well last night, while his
family was at supper, but does not
remember whether he leff the well
or not. The shoes and hat belong
ing to the negro were found near
the well, which gives rise to the
the suspicion that he committed

well yet.
San Francisco,Aug. 4.—Through
the efforts ot President Harrison’s
wife a convict in San Quentin pris
on who was serving a seven year’s
sentence for forgery, was pardoned
this week by Governor Waterman.
The man had been convicted of
forging a note while intoxicated.
Soon after Harrison’s nomination
he wrote a poem entitled “The Old
Soldier,” which was published in
an evening paper. The poem de
scribed Gen. Harrison’s bravery at
the battle of Resaea in the rebel
lion. The poem was copied widely
on this coast, and soo after Harri
son’s election one of the prisoners
sent it to Mrs. Harrison with a
briet account of the convict author’s
good life in prison. She took an in
terest in him and he has been par
doned. The released convict ex
pressed great gratitude to Mrs. Har
rison, and declaers that her sympa
thy has made a man of him. His
name is withheld, as he lias had
the promise of a good position.

JESSE WILLIAM S DREAM OK GOLD.
Tlirlre tbe Treasure Shines Before Him.
The Athens Banner gives a cu
rious story about Mr. Jesse Wil
liams, of Jackson county. He was
a member of the Troup Artillery,
and while at Orange courthouse,
in Virginia, was ordered to arrest
Bill Jones, who killed his father-
in-law in the lower part of Clarke
county, and was afterwards killed
by Mr. Aycock at the lower bridge.
Bill was a desperate character, and
created as much trouble in the war
as he did in time ot peace. Mr.
Williams went to arrest him and
was stabbed by Jones in the left
breast, which came very near kill
ing him, and he is now seeking a
pension for the injuries received.
This is the history ot Mr. Williams.
He dreamed not long since that
there was a large amount of money
hid under a rock on the side of
the street in front of the Bishop lot
on Jackson street in Athens. The
dream impressed him very much,
and the next day lie could hardly
think of anything else.
The second night he again had
the same dream, and could see the
pile of money, as it lay nestled in a
hole under the rock. This caused
him to grow more excited about
the matter, but he still did not have
enough faith in his dream to come
all the way to Athens and find
the hidden treasure. Tne third
night, and the dream pursued him.
Under the stone he could see the
glittering gold, enough to make
him rich for life and his family
happy. The third dream overcame
his scruples and Mr. Williams vis
ited Athens and informed some
of his friends of his dream, which
had followed him steadily for three
successive nights. Mr. Williams
repaired to the spot pointed out to
him in his vision, and there, sure
enough, was the large stone
on the side of the street, exact
ly the size, shape and in the same
position as he saw it three times in
deramland. This proved the re
sult of his dream, and it only re
mained to move the ponderous
stone, and the hidden treasure
beneath was< his for the seizure.
The most singular part of the story
is that Mr. Williams had never
noticed this rock before, and yet
had an artist placed upon canvas
the representation in his dream it
could not have been more minute.
Even a flaw that he dreamed of
was seen on the face of the stone,
while a bunch of weeds growing
near it he also remembered to have
thrice seen in his vision. The for
tunate man would not at that in
stant have taken $1,000 in cash for
his chances to acquire a fortune.
He could almost hear the gold
pieces jingling in his pockets.
With nervous hands he sought
to turn over the stone. At first it
resisted his efforts, but this only
made him work the harder. At last
he succeeded In raising one corner
from its bed; then with a mighty
effort the boulder was overturned,
and there sure enough, spread out
before his eager and enraptured
gaze was about a—half dozen black
bugs, who at once grew fearfully
excited over the disturbance of their
lodging place. It is needless to add
that Mr. Williams was both sick at
the heart and disgusted. His “gold
en dream was o’er,” and he sadly
hitched up his team and wended
his way back to his Jackson county
home, a sadder and a wiser man.
There are those in Athens who still
have faith in Mr. William’s dream
about the gold, and say that had he
taken the trouble to secure a mat
tock and dug down a few feet into
the earth that he would in all prob
ability have struck his fortune.
This will douhless yet be done by
some confiding gold hunter, unless
the police interferes and prevents
the destruction of a city’s side
walk.
