Brierfeld Rebels to the Front.

Comrades-The time has come
when the history Of the civil war is
being written.
You took an active part in max
ing that history, and have as much
right to see it properly written as
any one. Your deeds of valor and
self-sacrifice are worthy of record.
Our noble dead-those who fell in
the front of the battle-those who
persisted by the whitening hand of
disease-far from home and loved
ones-call, on the survivors to see
it done. No one can do this so
well as our old Captain, 7. NJ
Cochran.
He had a keen eve on the battle
field, and has to-day a retentive
memory of what TRANSFERRED before
his eyes, and can graphically de-
scribe what he saw and did.
Boys, let us rally around the
Colonel and help him. 1t may be
for the last time. He is preparing
for the press work to be called

people of to day, which he propos-
cs to intersperse with battle scenes
and incidents of the war-begining
with Shiloh and ending with New
tonia-Gen. Prices last battle

Slack Water Navigation.

TExARcASA, Madison Parish May 25, 81.
MADISON TINES:
Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice in your is
sue of 9th inst, An article on
"Slack Water Navigation" signed
Locks" in which he proposes to
put a dam across Roundaway, Mill
and Metheglin, bayous, thus clos
ing the last outlet, filling the last
gap, in the Gordon of levees already
built in the rear of Madison Parish.
The effect would be to raise the
water higher, and hold it longer on
that portion of the Parish between
Roundaway and the river. The
Planters of Walnut Bayou feel a
little sore on the subject of internal
levees and dams, after having gone
through an overflow of three
months. They have such a prefer
natural dread of water that it al
most amounts to hydrophobia; but
they are a 'tfeeble folk, " composed
mostly of non resident widows, and
a few very amiable gentlemen, who
complain, but do not like to take
any responsibility. God forbid
that this great wrong shall be per-
petrated upon this helpless coun-
try. But l would advise "Locks"
to go slow in his daming scheme;
even a worm will turn when tread
upon. The people of Madison
want no locks in the front levee;
nor dams in the rear; and when
there is real danger of this local
selfish scheme being executed they
will enter such protest as will
cause it to be abandoned.

Progress of Steam.

The leading locomotive works of
Philadelphia have shipped since
the beginning Of the year several car
goes of locomotives to Brazil and
the Argentine Republic. The bark
Sarah Doe has just left that port
with cargo of eleven locomotives
for Rosario, Argentine Republic.
She will be followed by the Amer
lean bark Skobeleff, with a similar
cargo, for the same destination.
The barkS Stabil and St. Olaf are
now loading four locomotives, each
for the port of Rio Grande Do Sui,
Brazil. The harbor at this point is
so shallow that vessels drawing
nine and ten feet only can APP
proach the docks, which accounts
for the small cargoes carried. The
| English steamer Sara will shortly
begin loading cargo of eleven To-
comotives for the Argentine Re-
Republic. Most of the engines
shipped to that country were upon
the order of the government, al
though several were for private
corporation in the province of Bue-
nos Ayres. Among the vessels
that recently sailed with cargoes of
locomotives from Philadelphia are
the f. A. Sanchez, the Aaron Rep
pard and the barkentine Z. J. Nc
Manemy. Twenty locomotives,
now in course of construction in
the shops in question, will close
foreign orders now on hand.-Ex.

A Reported Remedy for Hydrophobia.
NJ. Louis Pasteur, the celebrated
French chemist, claims to have
made discovery ola complete cure,
or rather antidote, for hydrophobia.
In an interview with a Figaro cor
respondent NJ. Pasteur says:
"Cauterization of the wound i'm
mediately after the bite, as is well
known, has been more or less eff
fcctive, but from to-day anybody
bitten by mad dog has only to
present himself at the laboratory of
the Ecole Normale, and by inocu-
lation l will make him completely
insusceptible to the effects of by
drophobia, even if bitten subse-
quently by any number Of mad
dogs.
Il have been devoting the last
four years to this subject. found
out, in the first place, that the virus
rabique looscs its intensity by
transmission to certain animals,
and increases its intensity by trans
mission to other animals. With
the rabbit, for instance, the virus
rabique increases: with the monkey
it decreases. My method was as
follows: l took the virus direct from
the brain of a dog that had died
from acute hydrophobia. With
this virus I inoculated a monkey.
The monkey died.
"Then with the ENTHUSIASTICALLY
weakened in intensity-taken from
this monkey l inoculated the sec
ond monkey. Then with the virus
taken from the second monkey l
inoculated a third monkey, and SO
on until obtained a virus so weak
as to be almost harmless. Then
with this almost harmless virus |
inoculated rabbit, the virus being
at once increased in intensity.
"Then with the virus from the
first rabbit / inoculated second
rabbit, and there was another in
crease in the intensity of the virus.
Then with the virus of the second
rabbit l inoculated a third rabbit,
then a fourth, until the virus had
regained its maximum in intensity
Thus I obtained virus of different
degrees of power. l then took q
dog and inoculated him, first with
theweakcst virus from the rabbit,
then with the virus from the second
rabbit, and finally with the rabbit
virus of maximum intensity. After
few days more / inoculatcd the
dog with virus taken directly from
the brain of a dog that had just
died of acute madness. The dos
upon which l had experimental
proved completely insusceptible t.
hydrophobia. The experiment was
frequently repeated, always will
: the same successful result.
"But my discovery does not enc
here. / took two dogs and inocu
lated them both with virus takeI
directly from a dog that had jus
died of acute hydrophobia. lie
, one OF my two dogs thus inoculate,
alone, and he went mad an,

inoculations, beginning with thu

If further argument in favor of a sys-
TEN of water-works were needed. it was
furnished by Sunday mornings fire.
When discovered it had made very little
progress. Had there been a hydrant in
the vicinity. those then on the ground
could have attached hose and put out the
fire before much damage had been done.
For village of this size we are well
equipped with iire-eXtingishing appara-

enough men to work the machinery, and
many precious moments must be wasted
And there is another thing. The rates
of insurance are very high here because
of the absence of water-works such as
we have been advocating. Were they put
in. the interest on the investment coulC
almost be paid by the money saved
through lower insurance premiums.
