DUES OPIUM CUKE YELLOW FEVER?
Chinamen Claim That None ot Their Num
ber lias Ever Caught the Disease.
Special Correspondents!.
When the death, by yellow lever, of the
eminent English astronomer, Prof. R. A.
Proctor, in this city, brought home to the
popular consciousness the alarming fact
that the dreaded soourge of the south was
actually among us, some anxious excite
ment might reasonably have been expected.
New Yorkers, however, do not scare easily,
and though certain newspapers have seemed
desirous of cultivating a panic by their
sensational articles on the subject, the pub
lic cm to view ihe Munition with griuiiv-
ing coolness anil eonfidence. Among one
large element of our population the feel
ing is placid indifference. Those excep
tionally unconcerned are the Chinese. No
fear of yellow lever agitates them nor
would they be frightened were that pes
tilence raging here with even greater viru
lence than it has attained in Jacksonville.
It is not that they fancy that there is any
race immunity for them, but they have
unbounded confidence in the preventive
and medical powers of a habit to which
nearly all of them are, more or less ad
dicted. That habit is opium-smoking.
They aver that one who habitually “hits
tlie pipe”— whatever his race, color or pre
vious condition of servitude—is proof
against yellow fever germs. And if, not
being thus protected, one gets the disease a
prompt anu certain cure is afforded by
resort to the opium pipe. It is affirmed
by tliem that, although there are a number
of Chinamen in Jacksonville, not one of
tliiru lias died or has even been a sufferer
from yellow fever, and thoy affirm that the
same tact has beeu observable in each of
the yellow fever ejfidcmics that have in
former years raged in other southern cities,
ever since Chinamen have lived in them.
A rheumatism possesses infinitely greater
terrors for John than a yellow fever. It
seems as if, in view of these fafM, Ike
opium pipe is well wortli trying as a rem
edial agent, where the disease prevails, by
others than Chinamen. It is simple, easy
when one gets the knack of it, and cer
tainly not likely to bo hurtful if not used
to excess. But some special instruction is
necessary to enable one to smoke opium,
and it is rather doubtful if one novice out
of ten will be able, from any mere descrip
tion, to accomplish it without ocular
demonstrations by an expert. The whole
art of it is in the “cooking” of the opium.
The variety of the drug that is used for
smoking is very different from that em
ploy'd in pharmaceutical preparations. It
is soft, thi k, glossy black, tarry-looking
stull, and costs four or five times as much,
at IcaM as the other kind Coes. Enough
of it for a dozen ‘'pipes” will cost from 30
to 45 cents in any respectable "joint” in
New York, but then no doubt pays there a
certain percentage for the use ot the “lay
out.” which consists of a pins, need Is,
lamp and place to lie down and enjoy the
questionable dissipation.
The lamp is fed with some vegetable oil
—probably that from peanuts—which gives
fortli no unpleasant smell in banting. Its
flame, small and clear, is surrounded by a
little dome of glass, open at the top. Th
expert “fiend”—as the habitual opium
smoker is called—takes upon the point of
the long slender steel needle a small wad
of the opium from the “shell” In which it
is served. Tins lie holds over the flame of
the lamp, where it boils, bubbles, squirms
like a golden bronze worm and gradually
THE NEW SUBSTITUTE
For Jute llagging-A Kick by Colton Mezz
and Drajm*!!.
The cotton men do not seem to iik*
boards fo» baggmg. The Savannah News
of yesterday says;
Messrs. Baldwin & Co. received yester
day a bale of cotton shipped from I’erry,
Ua. It was placed on exhibition in front
of the Cotton Exchange during the fore
noon. The peculiarity of tlie bale was its
covering. It was covered witli seven wide
but heavy pine boards held together by
live iron bands or tits. A good deal of the
bale wns exposed, and it certainly most
have lost 2S percent, in valuo while in
transit and handling from wastage and
dirt, the loss probably being more than the
cost of jute bagging enough to have cov
ered it.
The bale was sent to a pickery to he re
packed and proparly covered. The planks
in which it was inclosed weighed seventy
pounds, nud probably the intelligent plan
ter in packing, thought that the bale
would pass the same as a balecovered with
jute bagging, and that lie would reap the
benefit ill the additional weight, or if the
gross weight of the bale was sold as cotton,
as is usual. This, however, did not work,
as the cotton men who viewed the bale
did not take kindly to it, and all were
unanimous in condemning the method o£
packing. Even the dray'yen kicked against
it. It was with tome" difficulty tluit the
bale was lifted on if't]ray, as the hooks
would not hold in it.
A Mixeil Dp fish Story,
Romeo In Greensboro Sun.
Mr. Ben Waller tells another fish story
in such an excited and hasty manner that
I am unable to say whether it was a cat
fish that weighed twenty pounds and swal
lowed a full grown turtle or a turtlo that
had swallowed the cat fish. But be that
as it may. “Thero was in its stomach,”
says Mr. Waller, “a half digested sardine
box.” Now that was a pretty hard nub--
Btance to digest in our mind hut we could
not break the rules of etiquetto by showing
our fastidious taste while sitting at bis

formation, he twirls it deftly and shapes it
on tlie bowl of tlie pipe, which hits a
broad, smooth surface surrounding a tiny
central aperture. First lie makes it cylin
drical. Then lie pokes the end ot tire
needle through tlie little hole in the pipe,
compressing the pasty pill into a little
disk, in which shnpe ite finally leaves it
sticking to the bowl round tho hole. By
this time it is quite hard and seems caked
as well as cooked. Now he holds it over
tho flame of the lamp [and, as it seethes,
jucks in the volume of faintly odoriferous
smoke that it gives forth. Three are four
long and deep inhalations—the smoke be
ing taken away down into the lungs—and
the pill is consumed. Then the cooking
process is re-commenced. Oat of three
hours of opium-smoking two hours and a
half are consumed in the preparatory cook
ing ol the drug.
Whether the practice is a very injurious
one or not; whether the incidental auocia
tiona of the “joint” are sometimes very itm
moral or not, are questions that need not
be discussed here. Some estimable Chinese
merchants in this city smoke twenty or
thirty pipes per diem, at least, and dx not
seem to be liarm d by it, physically, men
tally or morally. But all that has nothing
to do with the question: Will it prevent
or euro yellow tever? and that is one of
sucli importance that it deserves speedy
nnd effectual determination.
