veyed by vaccination, as ordinarily
practiced according to the rules of En-
glish vaccinating authorities, that he
submitted himself to vaccination by
virus obtained from syphilitic subject.
DR.. Cory unfortunately became victim
of the foul disease which he feared not !;
but his bold experiment has probably
convinced thousands of others besides
himself that vaccination from syphilitic
subjects is positively dangerous. Now,
If Pasteur has full faith in his discovery
why should he not permit himself to be
bitten by mad dog and then apply his
wonderful smedyP There is no good
reason why he should not follow the
example of DR.. Cory; but. we shall
remain unbelievers until he gives
us some such convincing proof. In
considering this subject it must not be
forgotten that, ''the bite of mad dog
is not so fatal as is generally supposed.
A report upon the subject for the De-
partment of Seine, issued by the Paris
police department for the past three
years shows that of one hundred and
fifty-six persons bitten by rabid dogs,
in 1881, only eighty died in 1882, nine
d1eQ out OF SlXly-SeVeH DlIJen, anu III
1883 only five died out of forty-ive who
were bitten"
The statements just quoted are from
the St. James Gazette, and are proba-
bly, true. So, even if Prof. Pasteur
were to permit himself to be bitten by
mad dog and were to apply his remedy,
it wouldn't prove positively that his
remedy had saved him. But, if Mr..
Pasteur will try this interesting expert
ment upon him and all his relatives, we
may then have some valuable statistics.
1t is not many years since Pasteur was
going to relieve all the cattle and sheep
Of the world of the malignant and fatal
disease known as anthrax by this inocu-
lation method; but nothing practical
has ever come out of it, and all the
Juror has subsidized. 1t is very probable
that this great hydrophobia discovery
will similarly melt away without any
real service to humanity; but it is real
ly to be regetted that man who started
out with 80 brilliant career as Pasteur
should finish up with such absurd
pranks.

BRAVE KATE SHELLEY.
A Medal to BIO Presented to Her on the
Fourth of July.

The medal awarded to Miss Kate
Shelley by the Iowa legislature for heroic
bravery in saving a Northwestern passenger
train from being wrecked, and thereby
many lives from destruction, a couple of
years ago, and whose fame has become
almost national, will be formally presented
to her at Ogden on the Fourth OF July. 1t
was intended at first to have the medal
formally presented to her during the session
of the legislature last winter, but she was
extremely averse to that plan. The pl esen-
tation will be made by Governor Sherman,
II he can be present.

The county democracy of New York
resolved to send 450 members to the Chicago
convention.
Representatives of New York city
labor organizations passed resolutions pro-

Cleveland for the presidency and pledging
themselves to oppose his election, if NOM

committee was appointed to visit Chicago
and protest to the democratic convention
against the nomination Of Cleveland.
The New York county democracy
delegation to the national democratic con-

100. Badges will be distributed upon their
arrival in Chicago. The county democracy
is unanimous for Cleveland since the retire.

Hydrophobla.

DR.. Foote'S Health Monthly.
The New York Herald lately blazoned
in large letters, among its telegrsphic
news, the startling announcement that
Pasteur, the eminent French scientist,
had discovered cure for hydrophobia.
This experimenter claims to have found
a way whereby he can modify the virus
or poison which produces hydrophobia,
soften its virulence, and then save q
person who has been bitten by mad
dog by injecting into that person some
of the mitigated poison of hydropho-
bia. 1t is the same old story of inocu-
lation and vaccination applied to an
other disease; but in this instance Pas
teur claims that the remedy can be APP
piled after the hydrophobia has been
noculated upon the victim. This i'm
portant telegraphic news has found its
way all over the country, and of course
there are great many people who take
it all in and consider it a great discov-
cry. We believe that in less than ten
years it will all be exploded as false
and ridiculous, and that the really valu-
able work which Pasteur has done for
science will be overshadowed by this
later exhibition of quackery.
We have endeavored to read all the
reports of Pasteur's recent experiments
in the medical as well as the ordinary
newspapers, and we have yet to see any
thing in the way of convincing proof
that he has made discovery in regard
to hydrophobia. So far, Pasteur's ex-
periments have been upon animals, and
from the nature of the case these expe-
riments cannot be. extended to human
beings. But, as yet, he has not proved
that any human being bitten by a mad
dog has been saved from hydrophobia
by means of his discovery, and if he has
full faith in his discovery 1t remains for
him to distinguish himself forever by
proving it upon his own person.

Trusts Deeds on Growing Crops.

-, MISS, Feb. %, 1884.
DEAR S1R-I am led to believe from the
published proceedings of the Legislature
that your body will have another opportu-
nifty to vote for the repeal of the law relat-
ing to the execution of deeds of trust upon
growing crops, and of making mortgages
on crops to be grown unlawful after time
to be fixed by law. / trust You will use
your influence to bring about this result,
and | write for the purpose of urging your
attention TO the matter again.
1t is is proposed, observe, to so restrict
the present right as to prohibit mortgage
on crop except for the cash advances Of
the particular year the crop is to be grown.
This proposition reads well, but in prac-
tice it will be of no real service. The per-
son furnishing supplies on the faith of a
growing crop mortsged to him will 90 on
dealing as heretofore, and at the er Of
the year he will either take all the ipcum-
brancer has or protect any balance not
paid on the the account By taking new
mortgage on all that part of the crop left
in the hands of the mortgagor, besides
placing his new mortgage on everything
In sight owned by his debtor Or. at the
end of the year he will take everything the
debtor has and sell part OF it back,
covering it with q new trust on
q present consideration. Thus, like most
of the devices intended for the relief
of debtors the remedy will be found insult
fcient. It begins to look as if the policy
of our economic legislation is becoming
fixed against the real interests of the debtor
anyhow. You give him the right 10 mort.
gage his future acquired earnings. and pro-
vide him liberal exemptions, and encourage
him to extravsgance on high prices and
osly protect him from executions in the
courts. But with all this hberality you force
him at last to contract away everything be
has or expects to get. not on his own terms
but on the highest demands Of somsbody
else Yours truly,
HRo

The Georgia Pacific.

The argument will not hold water that
the Georgia Pacific is likely to suspend
its road on to Birmingham, because tn,
Legislature of Mis-, issippi is likely t.
pass supervision bill over passenger
rates and freights on all railroads in tn,
Safe. Let us listen at this tocsin Of
alarm coming from the friends of the
Georgia Pacific. That road began at
Columbus, Mississippi, and its course is
towards Birmingham, Ala. 1t covers
only about ------ miles of our territor,
the eastern part of Lowndes county
and it is now some eighty miles in run.
ming order in Alabama. Now the idea
that the Georgia Pacific would stop at
the present terminus, because Missis-
sippi wants to supervise its fare and
freights through the eastern part OF
Lowndes county, from the Tombigbee to
the State line, would appear supremel,
ridiculous; but these are many thing
done which seem to be more ridiculous
than that.
We are great friends to the Georgia
Pacific, rs We are to all other railways in
our State, and we shall rejoice when
this line Of road connects with the new
and thrifty city Of Birmingham, in Ala
bama. We believe that road will do a
large business in carrying passengers
and freight, as it penetrates the iron
and coal fields Of Alabama, and one OF
its best customers will be Mississippi. 1t
can't afford to stop to please the anti
sapervisionists in Mississippi, and We
trust they will see the effects of their
arguments on the company when goes
right along and consults its own interest
by completing the road. Suppose, we
believe supervision is an unwise policy;
does it tend to advance our prosperity
by efforts to alarm capitalists and check
railway enterprises in our State9
Supervision has been tried in other
States, aud it has not had the effect
theirs which is predicted for il here.
Let US look at these questions with an
eye single to the public good.

Surplus in the Treasury.

surplus that is in the Treasury, with

surplus to clean out rivers, and some Of
