| AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
This body commenced its annual session yes
terday at the Second Presbyterian Church in this
CITY. Inc association was called to order by its
PRESIDENT, Dr. Moultrie, of South Carolina, who
delivered an address, which we had not the
pleasure of hearing, but which is highly
commended by those who enjoyed an opportu.
nifty of listening to it. 1t has never been our lot to
witness more dignifed and imposing assem-
blage than tho Medical Association. Deleoates
from every quarter of our widespread Union are
In attendance, and among them may be found
many OF the most illustrieus ornaments of the
Medical profession, of whom our country can
boast. Among the numerous distinguished
names that figure in the proceedings, we may
mention tho'e of Drs. Jackson, Homer, and
Wood, OF Phil,phia, Ives of Georgia, Moultrie of
South Carolina, and Drake of Cincinnati. DR..
Wexford OF Fredericksburg, was elected Presi-
dent OF the Association for the ensuing year.-
We hope to be able to furnish summary of the
proceedings in day or two.
DISTRESSING CASUALTY AT THE CALICO
MILLs.-Ye sterday morning about 10 O'Clock, a
most distressing accident attended with loss of life,
occurred at the Gallego mills, in this CITY, A
lovely daughter of Mr. Alexander Taylor, about12
years OF age, accompanied Mr.. Warwick's chill
dren to the mill during the morning, and whilst
playing In the lumberor store-house, entirely re-
moved, as supposed from danger, Miss Taylor
stepped into garner used for storing wheat, which
was nearly empty at the time, and commenced
playing in the wheat. From the garner spouts
connect with the floors above and below by means
ofwhlch the wheat is carried from the upper floors
ofthe store-house to the MILL Whilst standing in
the garner, it is supposed near the spout COM
municating with the floor below, the wheat COM
menced falling from the spout above, and descen-
ding from the garner. In moment, she became
overwhelmed by the torrent from above and be-
fore even her playmates could give the alarm, was
probably smothered by the wheat. Mr. Warwick
heard the shrieks of the children and rushed to
their assistance; and we understand in his efforts
to save the little girl he risked his own life. Up
on reaching the garner he saw portions of the
clothing of the unfortunate sufferer, and instantly
flew to her assistance, when he too became over
and would have undoubtedly shared her
fate had not assistance promptly reached him. It
required all the energies of two or three stout
men to rescre him. The gates were promptly
cosed--the mill stopped-and every effort made
to release the little sufferer. Upon clearing away
the mass of wheat, her body was found but, alas!
her gentle spirit had fled Her remains were
borne to the residence of Mr.. Joshua J. Fry,
whose daughter by adoption she was in whose
family she resided, and by whom she was most
tenderly loved.

INFALLIRLE REMEDY FOR THE BITE OF
MAD DoG.-The following facts which occurred
in the county of Powhatan, in August 1897, may
be relied on veritable history, and establish be-
yond question or doubt the sovereign efficacy of
mercury in obstructing and Graduating the awful
consequences of bite from animals infected with
bydrophobia. The writer of this was personally
present about the time specified, and saw SER
want boy of his fathers seized by mad dog. which
bit him in dozen places, inAicting CHASTITY
wounds. An eminent physician being sent for,
had the wounds washed with CASTLE soap and
plaster of mercurial ointment applied to each
wound. Calomel pills were administered in the
interim, causing salvation. The boy recovered,
and was living few years ago, never having
manifested the slightest symptom ofhydrophobia.
A horse and two cows known to have been bitten
by the same dog the ensuing day, went mad and
died. So well satisfied is the writer that caomel
is specific in such case, that he would be I'M
der no apprehension of the deleterious effects if
bitten by dog known to be mad

questionable veracity .-ED.-.Southside Dem.

MoNeRE1 MARRIAGES IN ALARAMA.--By c

MoNGREL MARRIAGES IN ALABAMA.-By Gu
rous omission in the statute of Alabama, relating
to marriages, it appears that marriages between
whites and blacks are lawful in that State. Licen-
ses are directed to be issued to authorize maria
ges g between any free persons in the State''--
not any free ''white" persons. The question
was raised only last season, in Montgomery coun-
ty. where free negro man applied for license
to marry n white girl, and the officer, after taking
counsel, was obliged to issue it. The penalties
for refusal are very severe. The omission of the
word was evidently inadvertence but the
letter of the law is plain. The rare case of an
application for such license has disclosed the de-
fecr, and will probably cause it to be amended.

Important Commercial Order.-It will probably
be recollected that by one of the articles of the
treaty concluded with this Government at Qua
dalupe the I'd February, 1848 it was stipula-
ted that all goods &C., imported into the ports of
Mexico during the time they were occupied by
the forces of the United States, should be exemp-
ted from all duties, &C., while remaining at their
respective ports Of importation, or after hav-
ing been transported into the interior. 1t APP
pears that this has led to considerable frauds upon
the Mexican revenue, consequently the Govern
ment of that Republic have issued an order sta
ting that the goods, merchandise and property in
GLIDING tobacco introduced into the ports of the
Republic, during the occupation of its territory
by the forces of the United States, will be consid-
cred consumed within three months, counting from
April LIST to June 3Oth next. Brandies, wines,
gin and whiskey will be considered consumed
within six months, ending on September Both of
the current year; and that the owners or con-
signees Of all goods comprised in the preceding
regulation must present manifests of them at
their respective maritime custom houses within
eight days following the publication of the order.

William M. Gouge, Esq, writer on finance
and currency, has recently addressed letter
the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, chairman of the
Senate Committee ON Finance, in which he op-
poses the proposition to reduce the weight of the
silver coins of the United States. He argues that
silver is better standard of money than gold, be
cause it is the standard of all commercial coun-
tries except England because the attrition is less,
and because there is less temptation to counter
felt it. He thinks that the system of reducing
both the gold and silver coins alternately as they
comparatively depreciate, is bad one. AS we
began, he says, so we ought to continue; and if
any change is made it Dug ht be in the gold coin
