JUDGE CAMPBELL.

Mississippi has many worthy sons,
but none worthier than the Hon. j
A. p. Campbell, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court. His great learn
ing, his conspicuous fidelity to duty,
and his incisive and almost intuitive
legal judgment have long been known
to the members of the legal profession,
and have recently been made con-
splcuous to large circle of observers,
by his labors in the preparation of a
revised code of laws for the State.
Codes intended to operate as COM
plcte compilation and revision of the
entire statute laws of State, have
usually been entrusted to Commits
sioners composed of several distin-
guished lawyers, and it is rare that
such a book has been entrusted to q
single mind.
Two years ago our Legislature con-
fided to Judge Campbell alone, the task
of preparing and presenting COM
plede code of laws, which should COW
er every conceivable subject OF general
interest, and supersede all other laws.
How splendidly he fulfilled the dutyis
evidenced by the fact that the Legis-
lature, which has just adjourned, after
the most careful and and painstaking
examination, adopted the work almost
without alteration or amendment. 1t
is the unanimous opinion of all whose
with the work, and
whose attainments qualify them to
speak of its merits, that it is vast |
upon all former codes,
and that it will stand for years as a
noble monument to the industry, the
learning, and the oundjudgment ofits
author.
The most astonishing thing aboutit
is, that during the entire time of its
Judge Campbell has done
MS full and fair share of work as a
member of the Supreme Bench, and
neither litigants nor lawyers, nor his
colleagues have had the slightest oc-
'asion to complain of neglect of judi
'ial duties on his part. He has done
! noble work for himself and the
State, and has written his name in
letters upon the list Of those
whom after ages will honor and adj
nire.

Coffee in Typhoid Fever.

DIR. Guillasse, of the French navy,
in a recent paper on typhoid fever,
says: "Coffee has given us unhoped
for satisfaction after having dispens-
ed it, we find, to our great surprise,
that is action is as prompt as decisive.
No sooner have our patients taken a
few tablespoonfulls of it than their
features become relaxed and they come
to their senses. The next day the inn
provement is such that we are tempt
ed to look upon the coffee as a specific
against typhoid fever. Under its in
fuence the stupor Is dispelled, and the
patient rOuses from the state Of SOM
nolency in which he has been Since
the invasion of the disease. Soon all
the functions take their natural course
and he enters upon cOnvalescence."
DIR. Guillasse gives an adult two OF
three tablespOOnsfull of strong black
coffee every two or three hours, alter
nate with one or two teaspOOnfuls Of
claret or Burgundy wine. A little
lemonade OF citrateOf magnesia should
be taken daily and after a while quin-
inc. From the fact that malaise ard
cebral symptoms appeared first, the
doctor regards typhoid fever as a
nervous disease, and the coffee acting
on the nerves is peculiarly Indicated
in the early stages before local CON-
plicatiOns arise.

MUCH of the court-plaster sold is
poor in quality, and some kinds are
not safe to use. The Scientific Amer
ican gives the following recipe for
making good plaster:
Soak isinglass in little warm wa
ter for seventy-four hours; then evapo-
rate nearly all the water by gentle
heat; dissolve the residue in little
dilute alcohol, and strain the whole
through piece of open linen. The
strained mass should be stiff jelly
when cold. Now stretch piece of
silk or sarsenet on wooden frame,
and fix it tight with tacks or pack
thread. Melt the jelly, and apply it
to the silk thinly and evenly with a
badger-hair brush. A second coating
must be applied when the first has
dried. When both are dry, apply over
the whole surface two or three coat
ings of balsam of Peru. Plaster thus
made isvery pliable and never breaks.

Col. Fleet Cooper, of the Jackson COMET
1AOuld hereafter be known as the "distin-
aished Mississippi biographer." He is
Nv engaged on the life of Col. Horn, of
a Meridian Mercury, and the veracious
frative has all the charm and grace of Il
Filling romance.-Mississlppi Sun.
In all great undertakings, however,
ERE are troubles and complications
tackle or evade. We had started
'q well on the biography of Col.
4prn, and in the first chapter ap-
foached as near to the origin of the
'qDject as possible-tracing him back
p Christopher Columbus. But the
<eteran has raised a question of his
'Pflcal veracity, and clearly sought to
ROW grave doubts upon the truth of
account of his beginning, and now
" are forced to suspend the progress
the work to defend and fortify our
~ ground. However, we regard
Us biography as one that ought to
written, and as no one is familiar
'th this history and studied this
'aracter but THE COMET, it becomes
patriotic duty which we owe to the
ferature and dignity of Southern
prnalism to unravel the case. Con-
4uently, in the course of the sum-
Fr months we hope to complete this
ography, and make it big enough
book. But there is one point ON
nlch we desire to set the public at
'se-and that is the determination on
I part to abstain from all doubtful
Questionable statements. The es-
nee Of the biography will consist in
absolute freedom from all danger
erroneous statements as to facts. If
ere is lingering doubt in our mind
TO the absolute truth of any episode
eorded of him in the journals, and
'oks and parchments, and Indian
punds of the thirteenth century, we
al discard it, or protect the reader
ainst the imposition. A biographer
ould be truthful if he is not thrilling
charming. So estimating the great
bile duty which is incumbent on
We shall continue TO be guided in |
the succeeding chapters of this
ography by the straight line Of
ia. We will hazard no suspicion
IL veracity.
