TEE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA. TUESDAY DECEMBER l BUSH
ARP ON BLOOD.
TM* AMiMi XfsUiod of Blaadia* a Psttent???Origin of
the Berber'* Btgo-Tbs French Practise of In.
fusing Blood of tha Lower Animals into
Velao of tho Blok-Florida Climate.
Everything is blood now. John McC'uHough
went??may first and then died from blood poi
son. The blood in his brain clotted in its
channels and would not flow. The blood
aeenw to bate a very high consideration now
among the doctors. Long time ago when I was
B boy it was considered the chief agency in
life and health. The doctors all Wed their pa
tients for they aaid the Wood wa?? too thick or
A here was too much of it or It was had Wood
and must be taken away and let new blood
come. Most all of our generation hove got the
Bcmmoflhe lancet on our arms. Blood letting
jn old times was nearly as common as shaving
???and ao >tbc barbers got at I
god when a man got out of sorts
pnd felt bad be Just stepped Into a barber'
abop and called for a Weeding. The barber'
aign was made of three colors, the red for tho
blood, the Due for the veins and tho white for
the skin, or, as some soy, for the bandage.
But ftftcnvnrds blond letting became uti|????j??iilur
???eud was put under tho lain of medical science.
The lancet was laid aside and the dorters
turned their attention to the liver and the kid
neys. For nearly half a century they have let
the Wood alone, hut now they have let the
iioor old liver alone for a while, and are work
ing on tho Wood. That is all right, I think,
for the scriptures say that ???tho blood Is the
life." Blood is a sacred thing. ???Thou
abaft not shed man's blood." ???There
Is Wood on the moon." ???Blood for
blood." Hhylock bargained for a pound
of flesh, hut Portia said ???take the full measure
of thy bond, but thou shalt not take a single
drop of blood." What more thrilling then than
the Lady Macbeth walkiug in her aleep and
tming in vain to wash tho imaginary blood off
her hands???the blood of the man she had mur
dered. There is a reverence for Wood in tho
human mind, and we cannot ahake it off. It
shocks the child when ho cuts his Unger. It
horrific* the mother. It alarms and terrifies bo-
cause it is blood. It is aaid that blood Is an in
heritance, and we get had Wood or good Wood
from our ancestors. Thrro is Wooded stock, so-
called, aud conceited men aometimea boast
of the Wood that flows in their veins. It
is a common saving that ???Wood will tell,''
and we speak or cold-blooded murders, arid
murders committed when the blood was hot,
but I reckon that is all imaginary. It was tho
brain tliat was cold or hot. The brain is tho
will. If a man loses his leg or an arm and
half Ills blood with it he Is still tho same man
1n all hto emotions. Tho child may put his
little arm around hla mother???s neck and kiss
her, but it Is not tha arm nor the lips that love
her. It la the brain, for there Is centered tho
intelligence. There is lovo and
Joy and grief aud hate and
trcBie. and all the mental and moral
J ualltiss. 1 heard a man boasting one (lay of
be good old Vligiula blood that flowed in his
reins???blond that uom^Jown from noble slices-
tors, sad 1 told him IwVis very unfortunate in
that regard, Ibr I had a aneaking inclination to
???teal apples when 1 was 'a boy, and my father
???aid it was Ure had mod that was in me, the
blood of oaaof hla ancestors by the name of
Adam, who lived on the banka of the Eu-
phatea river aome five or alx thousand years
ago, and he and his wife stole apples.
The French doctors Used a man and then

dog or a rat, but that don't make the man dog-
gish or cattish. He don???t fork or mew. Ilia

lrnmed limn and a philosopher, lie was af-
flUtnl with asthma aud died from that
diaen>c. Aud lie told mo before hla last
nttai k that he had died more than ouce:
that brant up ill bis big nriu chair mid slept
every night, and sometime* tho disease wres
tled with him and got the butter of him, and
lie would struggle ami giutn for breath, and
lifter a struggle lose it aud lie knew that it
was gone nnu would (vase to rontiuuo, and
then ulI of a sudden relief came and perfect
freedom from all pain anil his mind or soul or
consciousness, or whatever you may
call it, would would seem to gut loom
and cseniio from the frail, sickly laxly
aud float lightly away and rejoice iu its re-
lease. "On such invasion*,?????? said he, ???I have
laniard in air and looked hark at inv |H*or, old,
uiwoiim'Ious frame in the chair and pitied it,
My stall has reasoned and anlUnqulzi'd in
Hu light and said os it looked upon the obi
moitality, you poor, pitlfol, suffering thing;
but you are easy now for you are dead and I
am free. I tell you, nty frieud, thit
more than once nty soul
lieru out of this body, and when
1 looked at it??? Iu the chair I have seen the
old frame quiver and gasp and recover its
breath, and in that very instant of time I was
drawn to it and in It by a force 1 could not re
sist, and would awake with it in its struggles
and Anil myself a part of it again.???
Dr. Inland was one of the brightest men I
ever "knew, and his belief in tho immor

have many case* of tyuhoid and malarial fever

crowded with passengers and from here they
radiate in every direction. Sew

roads are being const meted and in
few more months the system will be complete
and tho traveller out go quickly and cheaplj

petition now, for an hour???s ride will take you
from here to Orlando, and six hours more from
there to Jacksonville. By the first of January
the railroad from Jacksonville to Hanford will

from fifteen hours by river to five hours by

A REFORMED CANINE DRUNKARD
Old Dog Jack's Hndden Disgust Foe Intoxicat
ing Drinks.
Ai'Dt'Rgr, N. Y., November 25.???Jack is tho
name of a flue old shaggy-coated, jet biaek dog,
the property of a well known sportsman in this
city, lie is uuw some ten ycara old, and he has,
almost from his infancy, douc duty us night
watchman in a fashionable restaurant on Htate
street. Early in youth, one sultry day in the
summer time, while he was hut a raw, inexpe
rienced eur, being exceedingly thirsty, and
finding no water wherewith to relieve his
S irclitd throat, Jack took a deep draught from
v trough which rests on the floor and catches
the drippings from a half dozen beer faucets.
Naturally enough, be didn???t find the liquid ex
actly to his taste. In fact, he became very sick
as the result of his rather free indulgence, and
for days afterword couldn't be induced to take
even so much as a smell from the trough.
At. the expiration of .about a week, however,
having Billy recovered from the effects of
*ifs first infcniiierate draught, he con-
luded to try another dose. He was care
ful to keep within tho hound* of moder
ation, and no seriously had results fol
lowed. fin the morning following he repeated
the experiment with similar success. And so
he kept on, little by little, day after day, much
after tha manner of ???the small boy,??? in his ef
fort to master the truo inwardness of tho nico
tine weed, until at last he acquired a positive
liking for the once nauseating beverage. Tho
taste grew upon him, aiul the disposition to in
dulge in it approached nearer ami nearer to the
verge of nncoutrol. Jack at last became a very
disreputable dog and developed into a* great a
bummer as any guzzler that ever stood before
bar???or tried to stand there.
His master with the frequeutcr* of the place,
had watched Ids progress with a good deal of
etirioiM interest, but he finally made un hla
mind that the tiling bad gone fafeeougb and
that It must bo stopped. Jack was coaxed, and
he was scolded, petted and whipped in turn, but
fie fumed a deaf car to tho tenacrest entreat
ing*, and, with a truly Falstafflan hatred of
compulsion, declined to yield obedienro under
the infliction of the rod. He was hound to have
his way, mid have it he did. There was ...
thing nlsiut Jack, even in the worst stage of his
addiction toxtruug drink, remarkably out of
keeping with a practice common to Ills cotin-
terpurta In the human specie*; ho never took
h drop at night. It might not, however, he
exactly safe to gamble very heavily against a
iiihii who should offer tv wager that this feat-
of the (log???s habits had h foroewhnt inti
mate connection witli the fact that he was
usually much more than comfortably ???full'
when be went to lied, and that (hero was no
nocturnal drainugc into tho trough, his only
source of supply. Juhk made up, however,
in the amplest measure, during tho day time
for the hours that were lost at
night. Every morning iiefore breakfast hu
would drink half a gallon of beer at a draught,
lie joyful nml playfully drunk for an hour;
then, feeling dull and drowsy, go to sleep (n
r, awaking toward noon with u deep

.Italian patients, who spoke our language all

nmpnnions of their childhood. ???There
t* something tender and touchiug
about this. We may wander far away aud

carlitri loves are the sweetest and dearest and
inosi t ttduring. The brain receives them wheu
it is fa-ih ami pure, and holds them a* a tress-
x u to tv given back when we are sick or sor

liis nerves with a ???bracer." That done, Itow-
ver, the soul of good nature again twinkled in
his eyes, nil his wouted extilieranco of spirit
returned, and lie was himself onco more.
Jack was at first content with two good,
square drunk* a day. This limit wo* gradually
exceeded until lie insisted on being Bill half
the time and sleeping his intoxication off dur
ing the other halt. Under such circumstances,
of course, be became altogether useless a* a
guardian of liis master's property, and a unstri
ng, vicious hull terrier wus engaged in his
???lace, but out of regurd for the veteran???s former
TVircs was permitted to assume only tlw title
assistant watchman. Jack kiw in
him a rival for first honors, and
took his engagement very much to
art. It may lx?? (hat from constant brooding
er the possibility of being driven out of the
place in disgrace in bis old age, tho dog-drunk-
urd was roused to n sense of liis degradation,
or, ivrlmiw, it wax because of a tcrriblo tit of

consumptive-looking man of 40 sizing me up. Ho
dropped bis eyes when I raised mine, and had
scarcely taken In Ills "points??? when I felt a hatred
for him. It was more than aversion???It was posi
tive hatred. He seemed snoklsh to me, and rather
than endure his preseme I arose and passed out
on the street.
My first call was nt the general delivery window
of the i-ostofficc. When I had given my name three
letters were passed out to me. I stood for a moment
looking at the chirograph}* and postmarks, and i
I turned away I bumped against Ihe fellow I had

If I bad not hated him for liis looks I should cer

strike me as queer that be should have followed
me, but I left the building saying to myself that I
would like to do him a bad turn.
I returned to the office and road my letters, and
then took a seat in the reading room to answer
them. They were letters from relatives, and there
was no call for cxtroordinnry^precautions in an
swering them. As each epistle was finished I en-
losed it, directed the envelope In a plain bold
hand, and laid It aside. When the threo

I was thoroughly vexed, and at once proceeded
to the office to call the fellow to account. Ho had
di>np]>ciircd. I ported my letters and then walked
up Broadway, the sights and scenes of which soon
drove the man ftom my thoughts. At the comer
of Canal street a veritable Frenchman accosted
me In his native language and inquired for the
office of the French consul. My prompt reply, in
good French, delighted him, und be drew
(wide fur a short chat. We asked .and answered
various question*, and were on the point of sepa
rating whciyny newly found friend lowered his
voice and said:
???The devil! Do they have spies in this country?
1 wheeled about, and the snake, ns I shall here
after call him, was only two feet away. In my
sudden anger I raised my hand to strike, but a
smtlc crossed hi* evil face, he bowed obsequiously,
and holding up an unlighted Jeigar iu his finger, ho
???aid:
???I was about to nsk the gentleman for a light.'
"You can???t have it!" 1 savagely answered.
"Ah???well???pardon ray boldness,?????? ho sold as
turned away to enter the {??srtng throng.
That's a laid man,??? said the Frenchman as we
looked after him. "He kept edging up to catch our
conversation, and I tlikik lie has been set to watch
you.???
I began to think to, too, and I was boiling with
anger. I wanted to be sure of it, however, before
letting myself loose and I determined to keep an
eye open.

Invite you to their great
Waoiiixoton, November 26.???Tho following
letter, dated Irkutsk, September 23, ho* bran
received by Secretary Bayard from Lieutnunt
\V. \V. Schultz, U. H. N??? who w??x sent to Si-
torin last summer to curry the presents and
gmtuitirx awarded by congress to certain of
the tmtives of thut country who befriended
the Murvivorn of the Jeannette:
???I have the honor to report my nrrivul here
on the ???.???1st iust., on my way to thn month of
the Lena river. My route from St. Petersburg
was that usually followed iu aunititer from
Moscow over Nishui Novgorod, Kazan, Perm
and Tinmen. From tho latter place to Tomsk
the travel by steamer occupied ten days, and
thence by wagon to Irkutsk seventeen days.
From Tomsk the time uxod was unusually long,
the road* fxdng the worst known for years,
owing to the almost constant rain during
the i??*t summer. In many place* the regular
track could not to followed at all. and tempo
rary roads or paths lay through swamp*, culti
vated Adds or forests. Accident* to the wagon
were frenuent, causing long stop* for repairs.
Where the road was particularly rough, travel
by night was, if net impomUdf, not advisable)
When once 1 attempted, 1 was ail of one night
making a station of fourteen miles. Owing
to this unexpected delay on the latter part of
the Journey I admit have to wait here until
the winter road opens to Yakutsk, probably
in the early part of November. I shall
then pnxYctl to Yakutsk as rapidly a* passible,
tit out the expedition for the north coast, and
returning from the delta, try to reach Irkutsk
before the spring break* Cold west her ha*
now set in near Yakut ml the only practica
ble summer travel by l u( is interrupted. ???

Iikutsk have been exchanged. The newly
ap|xdntcd governor general of east .Siberia,
