THE PHYsIo OF OUR FATHERS.
Virginia Enterprise j


w. A. Perkins, druggist of this city,
has curious old book, published in Lon
don in 1867. 1t is entitled, "The Ex-
pert Doctors Dispensatory; Or, the
Whole Art of Physick Restored to
Practice" with the following. subtitle:
"The Apothecaries Shop and Chyrurgi-
ous Closet opened; wherein all safe and
honest practices are maintained and
dangerous mistakes discovered; and what
out of subtility to their own profits they
have endeavored to reserve to themselves,
now at last .mpartially divulged and
made common. Together with strict
survey of the Dispensatories of the most
renowned Colleges of the World, which
being corrected are here epitomizod and
drawn into an easie and useful method
for practice" "
SOME OF THE REMEDIES.
Following are some few of the more
agreeable among the many agreeable
remedies with which our forefathers were
dosed: "The fat of cat, plaster of
mashed frogs, brain of a hare roasted, fat
of serpents; the fat of men, foxes, vipers
and dogs; oil of vipers; grease Of num-
my; ashes of mans skull, ashes of
glass, of earth worms, Of asses liver,
of hedgehog, scorpions, blood,s cheese
mites, wood lice, beetles, warths off a
horses hoof, pike jaws, crawfsh, the
stoppings Of a snail's shell in Winter,
crabs eyes, king fishers, stones from
an OK gall; blood of a goat in wine,
turtle-dove roasted, with its belly filled
with cinnamon; mans skull powdered
and stewed in the milk of a sow spiders
web, especially if it be such as is full
of the fine fowr of mills or bakehouses;"
clots of blood "dryed;" haire of horses
and men burnt; burnt sponge; SCOT
scraped from the mouth of an oven or off
brass pot; oyle of frogs. The "oyle"
of frogs is recommended to those who are
troubled with sleeplessness. 1t is said
to operate "by sending mild vapors up
to the head, to temper the hot, dry and
sharp fumes that are in the brain" We
all know (who have ever handled frogs
that they are cool to the touch.
For taking away scars are recommend
ed "Fats and marrowes Of men, asses,
harts and the fat of the fish Thymallus. u
For wounds "Crawfsh, mummy and
crabs eyes" are recommended; also,
earthworms and hare's hair burned.
Extracters" for "drawing out splin.
ters and other things fastened in wounds,
we are told there is nothing like "lane
snailes beaten with their shells, the heat
of lizard powdered, or fox tongue
prepared as its lungs are moystened will
red wine" Loadstone "draNs fortl
iron and amber draws straws."
For moderate" emetic =" the shaw
ings of ones own nails drank in wine
are recommended.

A CoLoRED GIRL TURNING
WHITE.-One Of the greatest Curl
osities belonging to the human fam
lily ever seen 10 those parts, per-
hsps, was on our streets one even>
ing recently. 1t was in the person
of little negro girl, aged about
seven years, who, about year ago,
commenced to turn white. Her
forehead from the hair of her head
to the bridge of her nose, extending
around on either side of her neck,
is perfectly white, while both cheeks
are almost 9 je. black. Her arms,
feet, legs and hands are covered
With black and white spots, the lat
ter apparently the most numerous.
She has q very heavy head Of hair,
which is almost as straight as that
of white person, bat it is very
coarse and nearly all white, it hav~
ing commenced to turn gray at the
same time the skin commenced to
turn white. She is perfectly healthy,
g. her parents, who were with her
informs us. Her mother is very
black, but her father is between a
copper color and a black. -Latayette

GOING BACK.

WHEN the new State Constitution
was placed before the people, two
reasons were strongly urged for its
adoption--one that it would cut
down official salaries, and the other
that it would prevent the Legislature
from assembling oftener than once
every two years, and in consequence
great saving of the peoples money.
Both of these objects are about to be
practically defeated. The Legisla-
ture. disregardipg the spirit of the
Constitution, have continued to meet
every year, "all samee," and now
the salaries of State officials are to
be raised to old figures. Mr.. Jemi>
SOD, of Bib, has introduced a bill
into the House, that the salary of
the Governor shall be $4,000 per
annum, the salary of each of the
Justices of tho Supreme Court shall
be $4,000 per annum, the salary of
each OF the Judges of the Superior
Courts shall be $4,000 per annum,
and that the salary of the Attorney
General shall be $4,000 per anuum.
The provisions of the act not to APP
ply to the officers therein named now
10 commissions Ii is said that the
indications are that the bill will be
come a law. If SO, then the saying
OF Gen. Toombs, "if you don't like
it, just pour it back in the Jug" will
have lost it's SAVIOR.

PRESIDENTS RELAPSE.

The very serious alarm felt for
the President after his rigOr on Sat-
urday, and thu apprehension OF an
abcess, subsidized somewhat during
the later parts of the day. A chill
commenced about 8 o'clock on Sat-
urday, and continued till 8 o'clock,

ming up at one time to 100.
The fever gradually disappeared
in the afternoon, and q better feeling
took place of the general alarm felt
a, the relapse. The chill and fever
are .ccounted for by the symptoms
Of grauulasions noticed along the
track of the ball, and from the fact
that the healing process, going on
at some point comparatively near to
the external surface, had damned
up the aperture and prevented the
free flow Of pus
The FIRST trouble was relieved by
nature. but on Saturday night the
President was visited by another
chill, caused in the same manner,
it is thought, and on Sunday moru>
ing, a surgical operation was per-
formed by the physicians attendant.
The wound was opened 60 as to in
duce discharge, and thus prevent
the formation of an abscess, and alec
to relieve the patient of his i'll feeling,
The success Of this treatment wal
followed by 6 great improvement.

There being no Outrages to chron>
Gle in the South just nov, the New

to devote to the little affair that Oc-
Cured at SAndis6eld, Mass, a few
days ago, when an old woman was
dragged from her house, dangerous
ly kicked and badly beaten and
tarred and fssthered by mob of
ruffians. The grave charge against

Southern papers might make this

up outrages like some con-

A SHELL EXPLODED BY LIGHT.
MING.
Richmond ( Va.) Wing, July 16.l

Richmond Va.) Wig, July l6.l
90 last Wednesday afternoon,
during sudden thunder storm, a
lightning bolt struck large pine
tree IN field belonging TO Mr.. S.
G B. Faulkner, who resides about
eight miles from Richmond, in Han
over county. At the time Mr..
Faulkner and . plumber of hands
we're working near by. The report
was sharp and loud and shocked
several of the men. Mr.. Faulkner
noticed that the tree was set on fire
by the lightning, and sent hands to
clear away the brush to prevent the
fire spreading to his fencing. -
About twenty minutes after the tree
was struck another loud aud desfen-
ing report was heard in the tree,
and on examioasi it vas ASCERTAIN
ed that the fire had communicated
with q shell which was lodged in
the tree during the war. The tree
was somewha, shattered from the
explosion Of this old companion, and
the bushes near by were cut down
by the fragments. No one knew OF
the shell being in the tree. This il
a most singular occurrence, and
probably the fret where q shell was
exploded by lightning.

A curious case of conscience has
just been exhibited by ex chaplain
Of he army from Vermont. He
sent Sl00 in money to the treasury,
explaining that he was of opinion
that the method of computing fOrage
while he was in the army was not a
proper one, and he thought he had
received 500 more than be was en-
titled to. The last Vermont volunN
teer chaplain was mustered out in
1866. He has had the use OF this
money some years.

THE .sTATE ROAD.

Ia another column we publish
communication relative to the Leg
isla,ure granting-a charter TO build
a road from Atlanta to Rome, thence
to Chattanooga. Some questions are
asked that the guardians of the State
may we'll consider. Is there a ne
cessity for line competing with the
Western and Atlantic Railroad T.
Is it wise to cripple the State road
and depreciate its value by granting
charter to a competing line ! 1t
would sell to-day for $1,000, 900,
but build this Rome Road and the
property would not bring so much.
AZ the law establishing the Railroad
Commission prevents discrimination
and monopoly, the Rome road is of
no necessity and infringes on the
right of way Of the Western and At
lsutic road. The Legislators are the
chosen and sworn guardians of the
State and are duty bound to do moth
ing that will work injury to the
property of the Statei
We hope there is no. intention to
depreciate the State road, throw it
upon the market, some monopoly
gobble it up, and the people be rob-
bed of this valuable piece Of proper
ty that now pays into the State
treasury 5000 rent per month
Certainly it would not sell for a'
much, or rent for as much, with q
competing line, when one road il
sufficient to carry all the freight and
passengers.
Yet at the same time we are not
disposed to oppose the granting OF
the Rome Road charter, because il
is capital seeking investment 10 the
State, and it is not sound policy to
discourage it's coming, when no State
aid is asked. Bet if two roads from
Atlanta to Birmingham, Ala, we're
deemed so unadvisable as to result
in the consolidation of the two char
tered lines into one under the name
of Georgia Pacific, it would seem
that two lines from Atlanta to Chat
tanooga would be equally as unad
visable. One redeeming feature,
however, would be the increase Of
the valuation of taxable property
along the proposed new line, but
whether this would be sufficient tC
offset the depreciation of the State
Road is a question we leave for 9th
ers to discuss, as we certainly have
no bias in the matter, for if any.
thing we believe in developing the
country by building railroads.
