World to too hard on thoM who com-

make allowance for a man’a attrround-
Inga ud hia temptation. A mu deaerrea no

rage that la equal to thla, I wonder how many
more poor fellow* are In there for debt We
need to have lmpriaonment for debt In (leorgla.
but It waa tempered with mercy. A man could
takethe insolvent debtor’*oatb and bo released
by giving up bla property; or he could take
prlaon bound* ud keep from behind the
bars. The prlaon bound* In our town
included a square nearby the Jail, and I re
member to have seen tho unfortunato debtors
taking tbeir dally walks within that square,
and alttlng about a blacksmith shop that was
In it. They bad to give bond and security
that they would not cross the line. Hut Jig
and by Imprisonment for debt wu abolished.
All rich men are not heartless, but the tenden
cy of avarice la In that direction, and many
of them would, If they had the power, put a
fellow In Jail for debt and keep him there un
til the ants carried him out at the keyhole.
The Sbylocka are not all dead. What a hies-
eed thing la freedom. Home folks can bo con
tented In Jail ud It looks like the negroes
don't care much for the chalngang, but to
those who have home* ud hearts It must bo
an awful thing to be shut up In Jail. I can
hardly endure to bo abut up In a room at homo

long a( a time, and on a rainy day I look out
of the window with a longing to go. It
takes a big acre to give ms breath.
I believe that I wonld like Florida pretty well
if I could get away from It. Hut to be hero a

makes one restless and sad. I don't believe
that l’arsdlae would be weloorue if there waa a

®f them fear not Clod nor rrganl mac. The
town was black with them Christmas and they
were pretty generally drank. Two of them
got to lighting and the police arrested them
and started them off to tho calatKnee and a
big copper colored darkey yelled oat* "Let dem

attacked the police hot they got dabbed right
sed left and went off with their prisoners
followed by over a hundred excited darkeys
threatening vengeance. I thought there
wonld be bloody times but the negroes lacked
a leader and subsided. It looked more like a
conflict of races than anything I have ever
seen. Some six years ago the darkles got up
a riot In this town and took it and the white
folks shut up and hid out, mayor and alder-
men and police and all except two fearless
men, Drs, McRae and Wyly, who went among
them boldly and talked to their Wder* and
kept the mob from burning tho town, and got
word out to the Florida crackers who hat©

juat before night tho crackers came in with a
yell like a lot of Seminoloa and tho

and they drove up to a white man’s saloon and
ordered drinks, and the cocktails were brought
out to them on a silver waiter and they drank,
and paid, and drove on merrily. There is no
danger of a conflict when tbeee negroes are at
work, but whisky and idleness will mtke a
fool snd a brute of most anybody. I listened
to a discussion between two negroea about tho
ysnkeeand tho southerner. One said, "We
ought to pay moe’dispeettode northern man
for he send ns money down hear
to help us build our churches and
chool houses and ed irate our childcro.”
And the other said, "Dat so, and tt ain’t so,
neder. Do nordern man is mighty good away
off up yonder where he lib and he send hit
money down here, but when he come hiself
he doan like na at all and wish he had dat

A Well Known Georgian Gives a few Words
of Advice,
Dalian, Texas, December 28.— [Special.]
Buffering with a small caw of Texas fover, I
left my homo in Albany, (la., for this city to
mske it my future home. This being my first
visit to Texas, I have, of course, watched
everything dose, iu fact, havo inquired min*
utcly Into evory branch of business, not
for my own benefits as I hud an
interest offered in an established
business before leaving home, but for tho ben
efit and Information of the young men of my
native stata who contemplate giving up their
positions, family firesides and Influence, to
cometoTexaa, Young msn, stop, think and
read what I shall write, before you mako a
fool of yourself as you will find out when too
late.
Texas,like Georgia, has Its sdvantages and
disadvantages, AJmiu has to work hero just as
bard as he does tnere, and encounter a groat
many more hardships, and every man Is for
blmself In tho strict senso of
tho tenn. Farmers - mako more
per srre than Georgia farmers do, but they
can’t cultivate more than one-third as much
to tho plow. Labor is almost an impossibility
at $1 per hundred fur picking cotton after Oc
tober, 50 rents for tho other. Tho roads got
impassible, travel has to be dono by horseback.
This Is In tho rich pmirio country. Wood is
also expensive and ho that gets firewood suffi
cient to keep his family comfortablo is fortu-
nato. The timbered country is as poor and as
easily cultivated as Georgia lands. Tho
farmers nro worse off on account of scarcity of
labor. Now as to tho cities, Dallas Is to Texas
what Atlanta is to Georgia; in a few words tho
city of tho state. Tho Gould syndicate ha*
made this its headquarters and is now erecting
magnificent office* which moans a good deal
for Dallas. Buildings are going up in ovory
direction, streets are being pxvwl, churches
erected, iu feet the city isgroringsoftatnoonn
can tell you tho population, estimated
from 115,000 to 50,000. Tho public schools are
excellent. I am surprised to aee, nevertheless,
with all this boom, ^clerkships are harder to
secure here than at home. 1 don’t hositato to
•tato that there is today in this city 200 young
mm out or employinent,tnustly from tho south,
that would be glad to get work at from $15 to
&5por month and board hlmaolf. Two
letters are uow before mo asking
my partner feraalstanc© in sconcing a Job.
One of them is from n young man now in At
lanta. After searching the city over ho found
one firm who said they wanted a lH»ok-l;copcr,
salary $30 a month, lie would havo to work

by a ixmpctcnt Georgia boy at $2tA and he was

advice to any young man at home that __
making an honest living, is to stay there.
Salaries are tietter, living is cheapor, and you
are under the loving and watchful e/o of a
doting mother and futhcr. It U as hard to
mako money here as it is in Georgia. The

IXOCCUkTIXO RABBITS AND HUMAN BRINGS
From the New York Herald.
Fabis, December fit).—The Newark children
continue to receive their regular morning In
oculations. The rest ofthe day they play about,
watery „
said to them with a strong French accent, "I
wiib yon n merry Christmae.” The children
hunt out laughing. M. Pasteur
then gave each of them a very email glaw „f
sweet nmecstelle wine. All the children h ve
taken n great fancy to Jt. Pasteur. Yi, i tg
Fitzgerald calls him "The Little Uuv’nor,” ond
Eddie Kyau calls him "papa.’’
Just before tbe inoculathn M. Pasteur
showed me through hit laboratory. Wo first
entered a small room. A wooden table stood
near tbe window nnd on tho table were two
large rabbits—one white, the other gray. M.
Pasteur said:—“Every day two rabbits have to
be ucrifleed in order to obtain virus to inocn-
l*te the little children from Newark. Today
these are tbe two victims.’’
M. Loer, II. Pasteur's nephew nnd principal
aiKlstnnt, then caught one of the rabbits by
tho cars, took » pair of sharp scissor* and cut
off sll tho fur from the topof the rabbit’s head,
lie then stretched tbe rabbit out flat, belly
down, upon s square piece of wood. The rab
bit's feet were then tied with a strong cord to
each corner of the pieco of wood. M. Loer
then Rprinklrd chloroform on » piece of paper
snd held it to tho rabbit’s, nose until the
animal became unconscious. He then took a
very sharp knife and made a slit about an inch
long through the skin of the rabbit’s head just
between the eyes. The skin was then stretched
•Part with pincers, and a sort of wedge of
silver wire wss Inserted so as to hold back the
skiu and to expose the hare sk ull. With a del-
serted a needle, like the point of a syringejmd
Injected right Into tho rabbit’s brain a solution
of virus prepared from the brain of a mod dog.
The syrlngo was then withdrawn, the wedge of
•elver wire removed, tho wound drewod, tho
•kin earefellv sewed together and tho rabbit
was lablcd with the dste and quality of the in-
ulsted with the virus taken from its brain. By
a seriea of inoculations and reinoculations M.
Psstcur can obtain virus of any desired degree
of intensity. The strongest virus that he uses
In inoculations is that which causes a rabbit to
die of rabies six days after inoculation, thfc
weakest virus used Is that which causos the
rabbit to die of rabies in PJmrteen days. i
In a «d*U room kept rffnstautly heated
the temperature of 35 degrees centigrade, and
called the "incubating room.” If. Pastou?
keeps a supply of virus ready for instant use.
KacI) bulb of virus Is labeled with numbers.
The bulb hearing No. 0 contains vims that will
k ill a rabbit in six days. No. 7 kills a rabbit
in seven dsys. No. 8 will kill a rabbit in
eight days, and ao on up l
a rabbit in fourteen days.
Tbe process of weakening the vims waa for
merly accomplished by successlvo inoculations
of monkeys. M. Pasteur now attaint tho sauio
result by exposing tho virus Ukon from tho
brain of a mad rabbit in a room flllod with
artificially dried air, called the incubation room.
Karh day tho vims thus exposed loses a certain
determinable portion of its vmilenco.
It should be dearly understood that M. Pas
teur docs not pretend to bo able to euro cases
where rabies lias already declared itself, nor to
cure cases where an incubation of virus has al
ready taken place. All that science can now
do is to prevent persons bitten by a mail dog
from dying of rabies, if treated before tho virus
from the hito bns had timo to incubate. Tho
mayor of Iaoxcro telegraphed to M. Postonr that
a young msu was bitten twenty-five days ago
by a road dog,and asked if M. Pasteur would
treat him. M. Pasteur replied: "In tho scion-
title interests of my method I ought not to
treat any ouo after tho lapse of twontyfivo or
thirty days after tho Idle, but, from a purely
humanitarian point of view, 1 am resolvod to
rrftiscno one. Tho young man has now
arrivrd in tho laboratory in tho Ruo d'Ulm,
and is penniless. M. Pasteur is defraying his
expenses out of his own pocket.
when the Newark children arrived on
Monday they were inoculated with tho virus
"warranted to kill In fourteen days,’’ ou
Tuetdsy they were Inoculated with virus
"warranted to kill In thirteen days," on
Wednesday they were inoculated with "twelve
day virus." on Thursday with "eleven day
virus," ou Friday with "ten day virus" ami
next day with "nino day virus.” Sunday
they were inoculated with "eight
day virus,” and so <fti until
thevrecelvo tho "to kill In six daya virus,"
which latter may he related two or three days
ronsccutilvcy. Tho treatment will then lw
finished and they ran go home to Newark.
»y Reynolds climbed up outside tho window
aud peeped In at the rabbit, whistling "Yan
kee Doodle.”
Your correspondent then went with M. Was-
sereuet—one of M. I’mtcur’s assistants—into a
cellar containing several hundred rabbits cou-
fined in separate cages, most carefully and
minutely labelled. They stopped before a cage
containing a largo yellow rabbit. 31. Wawer-
met asked: "Do you notice anything peculiar
about that rabbit?” Tho answer was: "lie
looks veiy sleepv; he twitches and quivers
strangely and kicks out in an eccentric manner
with his hind legs.” 31. Wasaeraurt said: "lie
showed symptoms of rabies on Chrhtma* day
and will die tonight. This yellow rabbit now
proves a fact of vital importance.”
"You remember that early in December a
ittle girl that had been inoculated at M. Pat*
tenr’s laboratory died of rabioS? Very well.
M. Pasteur mode the following experiment to
determine whether the little girl died from
the effects of the bite of a mad dog, or whether
she died from the effects of the virus with
which *he had been inoculated at this labora
tory: Two rabbits were taken. One of them
— this yellow one that yon now see—wss In
oculated on December 5 with virus taken di
rt ctly from the brain of the little girl that hod
died of rabies.
"The second rabbit was also on December 3th
inoculated with the Ntiue virus as had been
used in inoculating the little girl that died, that
ia to ray, with tbe "to kill In six days virus."
The second rabbit died in six days, os wss of
course expected, but this yellow rabbit lived
twenty days before being seised with rabies,
thus conclusively proving that it was not the
Incubated virus with which the little girl hxd
keen inoculated that caused her death, but
thst death was caused by the bite of the mad
dog.”
When we returned to the incnlxtinx room,
where some twenty patients were waiting to
be inoculated, we found M. Pasteur looking
Yea remember the sergeant of the Hungarian
llu*ora who arrived here the same day os the
Newark children? Well, on Christmas
evo he went off on a most ter
rible spree: he got most abominably intoxica
ted, and I had to send people to make a torn
of all the drinking shops In Paris before he
could be found. He says be has passed a most
glorious Christmas, but he has missed two days
inoculations and mode bis treatment and cure
much more complicated.”

St. Louis, December 31.—All arrangements
have been perfected in this city for the treat
ment of hydrophobia after the method followed
by Pasteur. In three weeks, at the outside,
patients may be treated. The movement is one
of more than ordinary interest, and all en
gaged in it arc making most thorough prepara
tions for experiments. A barn and yard have
been secured where dogs suspected of rabies
will be kept and closely watched. Seven dogs
which showed slight symptoms of hydropho

evidence of the disease, but developments will

New York, December 31.—A little over
three months ago as Mr. Garrett 8tout, of
Keyport, N. J. t was walking along the street
in that town he wss bitten in the calf of the
right leg by a dog belonging to Captain John
llrycr, pilot of the steamer Holmdel. Mr.
Hfout at once procured a gun and tried to kill
tbe dog. Twice he shot at it, but each time
missed his mark, snd then the aog disappeared.
3fr. Stout then requested Mr. Heycr to catch
thedog when it come home and drown it. This
3Ir. Heyer promised to do, and no more was
thought of ft, 3!r. Stoat simply using some
poultice upon the wound. All went well until
a short time ago, when Mr. Stout
felt several severe pains in his
leg around the wound, and then
the limb began gradually swelling until now
it is almost three times its normal size. Not
only does tbe pain affect his leg, but the whole
right side of his body is in a Benumbed con
dition.
Several physicians were called and a consul
tation wss held os to what reatment should be
given the patient, but so long a time bad
elapsed since tbe bite that they were at a loss
to know wbat to do. Several treatments were
prescribed, but all seemed to be of no avail.
Mr. Stout raid that he did not think the dog
was mad at the time he was bitten, hut since
he has l*cen affected as he now is he has good
canto to think otherwise.
"I am now nearly serenty-fivo years old,”
uid Mr. Stout, "and have never been sick for
a week. I was about to issue invitations in
honor of tbe fiftieth anniversary of my married
life, but am afraid that 1 will have to give up
the thought of doing it. aa I hardly think I
will survive it, since I have received the dog
bite. 1 am afraid 1 shall die with hydrophobia,
as my uncle did about two years ago.”

E. Newton Palmer, 3lelicsn’s Depot, Gs..sayfi
"I deem It my bounden duty to testify to the great
skill which Dr. W. J. Tucker evinced In tho case
of my wife over one year ago.
"Her physician raid she could not live but a abort
lime, that it waa impossible for her to recover, bnt
remembering that Dr. Tucker had cured her fetber,
Mr. U. Atwell, of this place, some time before, of •
very serious disease (dropsy) we decided to try him.
The result of his treatment in her case was all that
we could have desired. For months no trace of
her former disease has been present and she now
enjoys excellent health, thanks to Dr. Tucker*!
unsurpassed skill as a physician."
August 14, ’85.
A GRATEFUL FLORIDIAN,
Stephen Peters, Istachattn, Florida, testifies to tho
fact of having been cured by Dr. Tucker after J
other means hsd failed to benefit him in the 1
and he was believed by his phyriyj
lo be incurable. Mr. Pel cm 1* now in the en,
roent of perfect health.
OUT or THK JAWS Of DEATH.
Mis. John A. Mann, of West Point, Go., says; *'Fo
five months I lay helpless In my bed, unable to
move w ithout assistance, Fullering from a compli
cation of diseases. M.v family physician and sev
eral others failed to relieve me at all and I con
stantly grew worse under their treatment. My
friends and neighbors
LOOKED FOR MR TO DIE,
and I believed myself, when I left my bed it
would be for tho grave. Finally my htnbond
heard of Dr. W. J. Tucker and prevailed on mo to
give him a trial. To make n long story short; tho
doctor got me uplnless than two months’ time,
and I am r.ow able to attend to my household du
ties. I wish every afflicted lady in tho land could
know cf Dr. Tucker and hi* great skill in tho
treatment of disease."
N. C. Childers, 07 Harris street, Atlanta, Go., was
cured by Dr. Tucker of a revere caso- of fistula of
ten years standing, after having tried every adver
