THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY DECEMBER 8 1885. THE DOCTORS. BILL* ARP DEVOTES HIS LETTER TO TH^M. The Pint Doctor He Baw-How tho Old Fat Physi cian Improved Him-The Bow Between Two S!g Medicine Mca-Tbe Indispensable - Family Physician-Hospital Scenes. . Tlio first doctor I ever niw had a good dea of diameter aud about three'times as much circumference. He was bigger round than high lip, and in childish ignorance I associated his size with his profession and have never gotten over iti To fhis day when I rcad of a great physician I think.of him as a large, fat man. I can???t help it All the'small or the lean, long doctors seem to me a mistake. This old Doctor Hall was n dignified, drossy man, and wore a heavy gold watch chain, with big links, and a broad, fiat key and a seal attached ???a eeal with an H cut in it. With what profound reverence did we children watch him when he placed ono of his fat hands upon the pulse end held his big gold watch open in the other. Wc felt like he carried with him tho seals of life and death. He was our family doctor and lie bled and gave calomel and forbade water, and was the town oracle besides. He was a man of opinions, but his words and pithy say ings were like his breath, short winded. He was kind of heart,but easily vexed and had t no patienco with other people who dared to , have opinions. I used to look at him as lie covered a split-bottomed chair and wondered If he ever crossed his legs like my father, and I longed to see him try it. His office was right on the public square aud I was sent there sometimes for medicine. He kept all tho medicine there, about a big wheelbarrow foil of bottles and brown paper packages, and sometimes he would unwrap a package on the shelf and give mo a stick of liq- orice root. He had a long, tall clock in ono corner with apendulum that never tired and a face that showed a moon that grew larger aud huger or shrank up to nothing according to age. I imagined that the clock was a myste rious port or his mysterious profession. In an other corner was a long tall box that stood on end and had a door as long as the box, and one day I saw it partly open and my hair stood on .end. Awe and fear took possession of m3 for there was a human skeleton hanging there and I thought its cavernous eyes were looking at me. Its teeth looked hungry, and the dang ling arms had bony claws at their ends???claws that looked like they could reach out after a boy ever so far and grab him. The old darkies used to tell us stories about raw head ami bloody bones, and I thought that I had found hit hiding place. But still I belloved that the old doctor had him under his control, and that this skeleton was certainly a part of his calling. I have seen an hundred since, but only that ono is photographed on my memory. I see it now as plain as then. Thcro was another fat man in town who30 name was Boyd, and he too had opinion.!. Fat men always have opinions. Boyd did not admire Dr. Hall, for they met some- times and their opinions clashed. In course of time they got ???at outs,??? and Boyd spoko of tho doctor ns old ???Lobcely,??? or old ???Phloebotomy,??? or old ???Calomel,??? or old ???Apodcldoc,??? and soma Pansy Sniffle who loved mischief would tell the doctor what Boyd said, and tell Boyd what the doctor said, and so the fire burned. Boyd was not so shapely or so dressy as Hall, and the doctor said that be looked liko a dirty old mo lasses hogshead with two pegs in the bottom for legs and two in the sides for arms and a big soap gourd on top for a head. So thoy swore wrath against each other and were going to whip one another on sight. They had their usual routes to the postoffico and about and about, and each kept a sharp lookout for fear he would meet tho other. But ono day they made an oversight or a miscalcula tion, and they turned a corner as ono was coming and tho other was going. Hall hod been to tho postoffico and. had an open news paper in his hand and his gold spectacles on his nose. They collided with some little' forco aud their circumferences met . and flattened and rebounded. Without a word they began to strike out and claw each other, but either their arms were too short or their diameters too long and both foiled to reach the mark. Nevertheless they clawed around and mado a commotion and got red in the face and out of breath until my father and another friend camo up and gontly separated thorn and;thcn suddenly their tongues were un loosed aud they unloaded upon each other. ???J ???aid I was going to whip you,??? said Boyd, ???and now I've done it.??? ???You lying old dirt-dauber,??? eaid Hall, ???I whipped you and never stopped reading my paper.?????? Dr. Hall had a big, fat, lazy horso whoso name was Selim. Selim was gentle and kind and had his gait???only one gait???and that w? a stately, dignified walk. Ho was never know . to get out of it. There was a horso block in front of tbo doctor???s office, and Selim know ex actly liow to place himself for the doctor to mount. His back was broad and tho saddlo was broad and* the doctor was broad qnd everything was in harmony. When the caval* cade moved it looked liko it was going to a fa ucial instead of to prevent one, and nothing could hurry it???not even tho most Iminent peril or unexpected accident, for tho old doc tor was a kind of fatalist and believed that what is to be will be whether it happens or not, and so ho carried no whip and wore no spurs. One day the old doctor died in his big arm chair and waa succeeded by a younger and more progressive man???a relative of his by tho natno cf Wild man. He was fresh from New York???fresh from tho school of Valentine Mott aud he waked up things in town. He ent off limbs in a hurry and removed tumors and cataracts and stones and bad an electric battery with a big glass wheel, and when ho was called to the country he went in a hurry, and his driving was liko the driving of Jehu. His name and his fame were spread all over tho country, and he liad students and fired them up with his own ambi tion. By and by they got to robbing gravo- yards by night, and there was great consterna tion. My eider brother was studying medi- cino then and so waa Dr. Alexander, of your city, aud Dr. Craig and Dr. Wilson, and, ono dark, rainy night I waa let into their secret, and was permitted to go with them to tho old Bedlaml graveyard and dig np a darkey, and they brought him in and dissected him and studied his muscles, and tendons, and veins, and arteries, and then they boiled him down and made a skeleton of his bones, and learned much for thcmaclvea and more for hu manity. I don???t blame folks for guarding the graves of their dead, and I don???t blame the doctors for getting corpses when they can. One la family sentiment for the dead, and the other abroad humanity for the living. I have no ob jection to their taking other people???s remains, but I don???t want them to take those who are near and dear to me, and just so it is with everyItodv. A man loves his own dog and will fight for him, bnt he don???t, care a cent for any body e???ae???s d??g, {1 Dr. Wildman moved to Columbus and from there to Savannah, where he died during a pestilence. Doctors are a curious institution. I like the profession and honor them, but they are carious. The practice of their calling makes them ro. Some are more sympathetic and tender hearted than others, but as a general rule all of them get hardened to suffering. A S in ora pang or an agony is no more to them n the creaking of a machine. I hear them talk it mistimes when they get together, and they remind me of hunters telling their ex ploits. Well, not that exactly, for hunters tell how many they killed, and the doctors don???t. * But they talk with the ouno enthusiasm and } bo same indifference to human ??? offering. Their success is the big thing * that , tlong B ... e of in terra rceptiou, and he said: ???I tried everything that was ever heard of, end as a last resort I got a block and tackle and fastened it to a joist m the kitchen and then I swung the darkey up with his head down and I bumped him around awhile until I heard something pop and sure enough he straightened out and said he was all right, and he was, and I am going to takeouts patent on that.??? These hospital surgeons work oil human flesh, with their knives and saws just like a butcher works on sausage meat. Nearly twenty-five years ago I saw Dr. Miller cut ofT arms aud legs after a battle as fast as our old darkies used to cut up hogs in 'killing time.??? When he got through with one he wiped his hands and his knife and said, next It would not do for the doctors to have much sympathy. It would unfit them for business. 1 can read about suffering and distress until I am sick and sad and feel like weeping rivers of tears for the poor things, but I feel my utter helplessness and quit reading and thinking about misery. If the doctors had to shed tears for every patient, the fountain would soon be exhausted. They experiment and diagnose and make mistakes ana lose patients, bat it is all for the best. Somebody has to be sacrificed or science would not progress. It is like a father with his children fleeing from the wolves. Ho presses his team as hard os he can and throws over a hat or a cloak to gain time, and next ho throws his dog to the hungry brntes, and finally he has to give them one of his children to save tho rest, Tho doctors experi ment with disease and skirmish with doath just like the general of an army fights battles, Some must be sacrificed to save the country, and so after a battle he counts up the killed and wounded aud is happy if ho has killed more of tho other aide than he lost of his own. He likes to show a good balance sheet, even though it is a bloody one. Victory and glory arc bigger things than human suffering or the grief of the loved ones at homes. But still the family doctor is a part of the family???an honored part. We are drawn to him as to a friend in need, and he is drawn to us. Ho lias enough sympathy for his purposes. His tenderness may lie professional,but it is tho right kind for tho patient. Tho doctor is near er and dearer to the family than the preacher, although one ministerial to tho mortal Jiodv nncl the other the immortal soul. Bodies are higher things than souls. Tho whole world with all its vast machinery is at work for bodies, hat tho work done for souls is only a side show in comparison. The family doctor holds n higher place than tho family lawyer, for health is a bigger thing than monoy or property, and there nro but few lawyers who would not take a case against usas readily as one for us.' There are two sides to litigation but only one to medicine. The midnight oil burns dimly while I writs. On tho bureau nro signs of sickness. Vials, with, labels and numbers and the druggist's name ??ml the doctor's and tho patient???s. There is aconite and gclsemlnum and tnrnsntino emulsion aud veratrum and bromine and cnralybtus pills and calomel and glass tubes and a machine to throw carbolic spray into the threat. There is a chart hanging in tho hull marked off in squares to register tho mcruing and evening temperature of tho pa tient, In one corner of the room is n bod and a cat beside It, and a sick boy on tho bod, and his mother goes noislcssly around and watches him aud arranges the cover and keeps the bottle of hot water to his feet, and moistens his lips and sponges his forchoad, and sometimes leans over and whispers lovinj words, and kisses his feverish brow. This i the sick room, and thcro arc thousands of them over the land???the room where hopes and fears abound and nothing enters hut love and pity and tenderness. Thirty-five days have passed over this oue and the good doctor says thcro ore more to come, but the boy will weather tho storm, and so wo aro hopeful and thankful and patient. It was a good time to write about doctors, and so I have ^written. _ Bill Arp. FOR THE PRESIDENT'S SAFETY. ?and they hare no time to say ???How < poor follow did suffer.??? I heard one not 1 'ago tell anotherabout a case of intersnreept Ifow Absolute Freedom From Danger was to Ilave neon So cured. From the Washington Post. When President Cleveland accepted Presi dent Garrett???s tender of a special train to carry lilm over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to In dianapolis, that company began to make prepara tions of unusual completeness. Extraordinary precaution* were to have been taken to insure the safety of the president. Officials over tho entire line of the railroad were summoned to Baltimore for conference, and only there high In authority were acquainted with tho fact that the presidential party would go over the rood. It was arranged that two trains should bo run, ono an hour ahead of tho other, and between them pilot engines and track walkers, so that no moment for an hour prior to tho coming of the presidential special was there to bo any cessation in the personal inspection of tho track. The first train was to have two or three extra can, closed up, so aa to create tho Impression, that the presidential party was aboard, this being dono to avoid the crowds which might otherwise gather at the Jdepots and stations enroute. Tho second special, w hich was to leave Washington from a point known only to those in the confidence of tin president, was to run one hour behind the firs speclalnml be composed of five private cars, namely Mr. Gam-tt???scarforthe use of the president, and the cars of Vice-President???* Bpenccr and Smith and General Manager Dunham and General Su perintendent Lee for the cabinet. Two engines were ordered to bo ready at ouch division headquarters, and in every instance to bo most care fully inspcctid and thoroughly gone over. Prior to the arrival of tho presidential party watchmen were placed at every station and crossing through out the entire system. All trains of whatsoever ehoracter, limited express, passenger or otherwise, were instructed not to rnovo on the west bound track upon ar.y consideration from tho timo of the arrival of the- firet social until tho time of passage of tho second, fo that any mishap was almost -im possible. None of the changes of engine* on the presidential special party were made iu tbo citlos, but in each instanco at points beyond. When the president decided to abandon his trip the railroad company concluded to let tho entire arrangements stand and carry tho cabinet to In dianapolis exactly as tho president would havo been conveyed. Mr. Bayard occupw** the car de signed tortlic president, while Secretaries Lamar and Wl-dUiey and Postmaster-General Vilas mid Colonel Wllron have equally cxcliidvo accommo dation*. Tho train will make an average of thirty-live miles an hour between here aud Indian- thirty-1 ???joifs. AMERICAN WITCHCRAFT. The belief in witches and witchcraft was very general In early colonial times. There was much excitement in England during the reign of King James I. on the subject, and the excitement natur ally spread to this country. In Virginia there were several Instances of witchcraft, which were dis posed of by ducking the victims. In Pennsylvania wc find the only witchcraft care recorded In 1GS3. A woman was tried, on perfectly trivial evidence, for bewitching cows and geese. The council, presided over by Penn, found the woman not guilty according to the tonus of the indictment, but guilty, or common fame as a witch; and she was bound in the sum of ??100 to good behavior. In the colonies there were reputed witches, but only in Massachu- setts was the extreme measure of putting them to death adopted. Previous to the extraordinary ex citement about the Salem witches there had been several executions #n this charge in the Massachu setts colonies. The latest Instance had been the hanging of an Irish woman In Boston in IMS, ac cused of hew Itching four children. During the winter of 1001-92 a com^any^ consisting mostly of SOUTHERN SCENES. Life In tho Old Plantation Time???Catching Doodles. I suppose every boy that has any boyishness about him, haa an instinctive aversion to go ing to chnrch. I wish I bad as many oppor tunities of attending the good old-time meet ings now as I had In those days when the ???oft bloom of childhood was on my cheek, and my yonngeyes saw nothing bat Innocence ???nd purity In my surroundings. Yes, would go to meeting regnlarly if I could go over the past with this fund of experience to guide me. I wouldn???t roll up my breeches and wade about in the Icy water in search of possom beans and bamboo berries. Nor would I, when compelled to attend services, stick pins In tho backs of other unfortunates nor cost leering glances at cer tain dignified maiden ladies who returned my grins and grimaces with looks of the moifc intense disgust and genuine disapproval don???t think I???d make dumb signals at little girls who sat prim and stuck-ap on their scats near the aisle. No, I???m quit?? sure I???d bo fully equal to those model lads w ho existed in tho old-fashioned Sunday school literature. My hair would be combed and tho smile of a half- fledged saint would play about my pathetic little mouth, and in my beaming countenance the light of a heavenly divinity would shine through the varnish of lye soap that was used to remove tho accumulated dirt of six (lavs tumbling and tossing about iu the dear old dusty yard. By tho way, did you eye r catch doodles? Why, I boliovo doodles have become extinct. I don???t think I???ve no ticed a doodle bole iu fifteen or twenty years. But they used to bo thick under tho old gin liouso where the dirt was loose and dry. Thoir miniature craters wero nicely scooped out, and Jake was tho first person I over saw catching doodles. Be taught me. He would take a straw and ticklo the sand around tho edgte of tho hole, and say ???doo-oo-dlo, doodle, doodle, S ot er piece er meat an??? bread fur ye; doo-oo- lo, doodllo, corao out cr dar,??? and tho doodle would think tho straw w as an incautious in sect that had fallen into tho pit, and ho would begin to rustic around in tho bottom of the trap and cast up little jots of sand to impedo tho efforts of what ho supposed to be the strug gling insect, and then Jake would scoop the horrid little scaly insect up. Several captures made wo would take thorn to a spot of hard ground and havo a grand contest of doo dles, for thevicious little things would claw each other right royally. But I am along wav off tho subject I started on. What I started to tell you was about the timefthe circuit rider camo toourhouso for din ner and I was mado to put mysolf on exhibition to my great annoyance,and the evident embar rassment of tho parson. True, he patted mo on the head ana said I showed a superior in telligence, and that he had always noticed that boys who had great rough heads like I had were apt to turn out geniuses if thoy didn???t drift into the legal profession, and I left him with reelings of burniug indignation and retired to tho cabin of Undo Menton to got some information regarding tho clerical profession. Tho old man had an old worn Blblo in his hand, and ho had learned to read a little, and ho knew some by heart, having heard it quot ed so much. I remember Just how ho road, in a deep voice, with a peculiar monotonous into nation: ???Iu thoso days camo John, tho (Baptist, preaching in tho wilderness of Judc-ah, ana say-Ing, re-pent ye, for theking-dom of heabou is at hand,??? and so on. ???Ah-b! chile.

The village physician be ing applied to,said the children were bewitched,and a council of clergymen held on the subject agreed with him. When the children were questioned they accused three women, one of them an Indian, of having bewitched them. These persons were brought before the magistrates for examination March 1,1C02. The excitement in the village be came very great, and spread itself throughout all the neighboring country; other children became affected and many person*, at first only the old and poor, and friend lets, but afterward some of the most upright ???nd respectable perrons In the town who endeav ored to stem the tide of popular deltt'lon by pro testing against it, were accused of being witches. A special court was opened the first week In June for the trial of the eases, and several sections were held, the but opening September 9.

Tho enjoy ment of this recital soon counterbalanced tho effects of tho embnrasaing interview with tho preacher, and I was soon romping around with Bob and Abe, chasing some befuddled robins that had got drunk eating china ber ries. Tho lengthening shadows foil upon tho brown fields, and tbe Jorees raised a groat clatter on the ibady side*of the swamp, and with ruddy cliceki and laughing eyes I ran up the steps of tbo lovely piazza where tho glint of the feeble sunlight rested an Instant and then faded as the sun sank in a bed of amber and gold. Grandma was in the sitting room and her sweet plaintive voice, with a quaint intonation at the end of each stanza, floated out on the quiet evening air os she sang: *Oh, bow happy are they Who their Havlor obey And bare laid up their treasureigabove.

Events have come trooping along, each crowded on th?? heels of tho other. I have walked on alien shores when there was never a familiar face to greet me with a glance of checrfol recognition. Then I have sat with the wise and tho honored of the earth, and I have mixed and mingled with the gay throng where all the brightness of wit, youth and beauty were assembled. But as I review the many vicissitudes of my unquiet life, J mark this one little bit of sweet experience that seems set apart for the moments that I ???natch from the cares and tolls that beset my path, and that old hymn, sung by that dear old. voice, comes back to me as a something of heavenly beanty. And those last lines have oc curred to me often and again. Even in my dreams, when the sweet comforter, sleep, en deavored to grant me that release from over whelming anxieties that the world denied me, I have heard again: ???Tongue cannot express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in iu earliest love.??? And It has soothed my aching heart, and so long as my soul Is slivo to the holler things of life, Jost on long will I remember and cherish that old-time hymn that haa proved such a contort to me. M.

Bow a Kentucky Judge and Sheriff Man aged to Run the Court. Louisville Cor. New York Times. In one of the counties where scores Jiad boon killed who belonged to the opposing factions, and where houses were barricaded, the law abandoned, where women and children wore armed, and the extermination of the entire population a matter of early possibility, the governor requested Judge William L. Jackson, of the Louisville circuit, to hold court. No body thought the Louisville judge would com ply, but In this they were mistaken, for he proceeded forthwith to the scene of bloodshed, quietly announced his presence and mako known his mission. These tacts excited the greatest enriositv throughout the county, and when the day of trial came on the whole popu lace appeared in the courthouse with but llttlo exception. The first case, one of murder, was called. All the witnesses responded to their names save one. ???We must have that witness, Mr. Sheriff,??? said the court, firmly. ???If your honor please, I can???t get him,??? said tho county sheriff. ???That???s no excuse, sir: have him here with out fail In four hours. Let tho court stand ad journed until 2 o???clock,??? And ns Judge Jack- son finished speaking lie arose from tho bench With dignified ease, calmly put on his hat, and walked from tho courtroom alone, to tho great astonishment of the natives, whoso regular judge would havo remained until perfectly satisfied that no enemy was near. At 2 o???clock court again convonod. Th?? bawl of tho sheriff, ???Oh, yes, oh, yes, court is now open,??? had scarce died out keforo Judgo Jackson asked sternly: ???Mr. Sheriff, havo you brought that witness (n court ???? Tho sheriff, answering in tho negative, gavo ns his reason for failure to obey tho court, that lie found tho houso of tho witness barricaded aud foil of armed mountaineers, who sworo they would kill auy roan who attempted to enter. ???Mr. Sheriff,??? said tho court very aharply, ???such an cxcuso Is not to bo thought of aud will not bo entertained. I want that witnoss hero at 10 o???clock tomorrow morniug if you havo to bring him on a Utter. Mark you, sir. a failure to comply on your part will compel this court to fine and imprison you to tho foil extent of tho law. Do jour duty, sir.??? To say that tho natives were astonished docs not convey tho slightest idoa of their true foot ings. All that afternoon and next morning thcro was a universal desire to seo tho ???city fellow who got to shak< all tho freo drinks ho do sired. Court opened promptly at 10 o???clock. ???Mr. Sheriff, have you that witnoss???? asked tho court. ???Yes. your honor,??? spoko tho sheriff excited ly ; ???lie???s coming.??? A curious sight presented itself now. Half a dozen stalwart men appeared carrying an other, who was tho musing man. Ono arm hung limp at bis side, a leg refosod to do its duty, blood trickled from all over his head, and an immense bandage concealed ono oyo. ???Stand up, sir,??? spoke th?? court, aud, with tho old of his captors, tho fellow assumed as fair an upright position as his wouuda would permit. ???Whntdoyou mean by evading tho law???? asked tho judge. ???I did???t know it was yonr court, sir. _ thought they wanted to tako mo to Louisville for moonshining. I kuow os how thoro wore deputy marshals almut, sir.??? ???Mr. Clerk,??? said tho judge, ???arc there any United States marshals in this section???? Tho clerk said there were, and that they had warrants for tbo civil witness, whereupon ho directed the sheriff to bring every one of them Into court, an order soon compiled with. Eight United States marshals focod the court. ''Gentlemen,??? began tho Judgo, ???havo you warrants for any or thcao witnesses???? ???Yea, sir, for nearly all of thorn, and fonr for this chap,??? answered a marshal, indicating tho wounded man. ???Well, gentlemen, I am holding court here now, and if yon Interfere with mo In any man ncr whatcvi rJ???11 put yon all in Jail for a ye; ???evo'ry ono or you. Lot this caso begin.??? The trial proceeded, aud more convictions followed than had happened previously In tbo whole life of tho couuty of Brosthitt, which la now one of tho best in Kentucky, and whero capital is now finding tho richest cannol coal In tbo world, England not excepted. Judge Jackson recently went to Lotchcr county at Governor Knott???s request. ???Will yon need a hundred men???? asked a local friend of justice, who woll know tho des perate affaire which had marked every previ ous trial of the accused, ???No,??? thundered tho . . equal to a hundred men itself.??? This remark went tho rounds liko wildfire, and, during tho long trials which followed, en abled the court to conduct its business without tho slightest Jnr. Aalraabbcu maintained by tho Times In dealing with Kentucky feuds, tho only thing necessary to make peaceable ond good citizens out of tho lawless men of tho mountains of Kentucky has been the need of mnu like Judgo Jackson, whoso norvo and firmness find respect os quickly with desperadoes as with peaceahlo citizens. Governor Knott expresses liimsolf as much pleated with the manner in which Judgo Jackson has conducted court In tbo mountains. ???I would rather send him to try these lawless people than a regiment of soldiors,??? obsorved the governor In a conversation rccontiy. DONE BY COCAINE. Chicago Physician Mode a Mental and I???hjNlcal Wreck. Chicago, November .10.???Dr. Charles I}. Bradley, a physician of this city, was taken to the Washington Home a mental and physical wreck, wrought liy tho immediate, use of co caine. Not only tho patient himself, but his entire family, consisting of a wife nnd five children, havo been practically ruined by his excesses. It wus shown that Dr. Bradley, quite a prominent physician, bad been addicted to tho use of cocaine to such on extent as to render him practically insane. The story was told that the doctor had, under its influence, per formed experiments on his family that nave made them physical wrecks. His claim was that he could inject the hvdrochlorate without pain, and remove the flesh without pain to th?? patient. He injected some of it into his own arm, then with a red hot Iron hnrncd it out without flinching. Home more of it he injected into tbe wrist of bia throe-year-old child and then with a knife cat out tne flesh, tho little ono apparently suffer ing no pain. He used tho drag promiscuously In tho family, and became himself a slave to ft, until In llttlo time his practice fell away and his family was reduced to want. Under the Influence of the staff be claimed he waa its discoverer, that It would revolution ize medicine, and that the world would recog nize In him a benefactor, whoso name would go down to the ages. Ho became a fanatic on the subject, a wild dreamer. He mortgaged all he possessed, even bia horse and buggy, to pursue his fovorite study. Ills wife, an invalid, and his children ruined In health, their condition was heartrending in tbe extreme. The seeno in tbe court room waa dramatic. The poor vic tim seemed to realize his sitnation, and sud denly raising his voice to a high pitch and be coming highly cxdted, called on God to help convince the judge and the physicians present that his theory was right.
