YELLOW FEVER.

A most important dispatch will be
found under the head of New Or
leans this morning. 1t makes the an
that the remedy has at
last beea found for that great curse
of our tropical cities; which has hith-
erto hung like the sword of Damocles
over one-third of the cities of
Texas, and every fall rose like
a menacing spectre of dread
upon the Atlantic and gulf seaboards.
If the substance of this dispatch is
true, then the reign of the dread safs
from king is, indeed, ended, and such
seaports as Galveston and New Or
leans may 20 longer tremble, each au-
tumn, and fear the approach of the
terrible visitor which has more than
once decimated those places,
and, in past decades, almost
filled their homes
with mourning. For two or three
years past the now celebrated DR.
Freire, of Rio Janelro, has been at
tracing the attention of the scientific
world by his microscopic investiga-
tions of the causes of yellow fever.
His discovery of the deadly microbe,
even upon the graves OF the
dead from the disease, who had
been buried for months, was hailed
as one of the great discoveries
of the age, aid mankind has ranked
him along with Koch and N. Pasteur.
The cause of yellow fever was found.
The remedy, far more important, still
remained locked up in the arcana of
nature. This, too, has been found be-
yond doubt, if the dispatch be true.
DR.. Friere innoculated 5000 persons
with the cultivated microbe, and
of the 5,00Onot one died, whereas 400
persons not innoculated succumbed to
the disease in the same locality.

COL. SELLERS OUTDONE.
A Bell County Farmer Has Visions
Millions.

A Bell County Farmer Has Visions
Millions.
Mr.. Ruben Ford, the WellsknoWn
surveyor, has returned from trip
through Williamson and Bell counties.
One night while comfortably tucked
away under the hospitable roof of
friend in Williamson county, he was
shown letter from a Weli-to-do farm
er, citizen of Bell county. 1t set
forth in glittering terms and jingling
sounds the discovery of silver mine
about four miles from Jollyville. The
mine, so says the letter, bears evidences
of having once bean successfully
worked, but nothing remains now of
its former glory, if it really ever had
any, but the moulQy, weather beaten
ruins of two shafts. From one of
these, the dirt, the rocks and the rot-
ten timbers have been removed, dis
closing at the bottom "pay dirt" OF eX-
traOrdinary richness. That is, the
writer of the letter says there is I'M
mistakable evidences of fabulous
wealth, and herein THE STATESMAN
reporter agrees with him. Fabulous
is just about the word to cover the
case. However, the discoverer of the
mine is confident of It's richness, and
nothing would induce him to part
with the section of land on which it is
located. When, or by whom it was
worked in the long ago is not known,
as the history and traditions Of Bell
county are silent about such q mine.
A large quantity of the ore has been
taken out and shipped to Philadelphia
and Chicago to undergo an analysis by
mining experts, and until they report
the Bell county farmer, if he has
vivid imagination, will enjoy his
wealth and hold on to his possessions

both increased production and lowered
cost. then we would never have such
an anomaly in politics as over produc-
ton. 1t is true principle of
political economy that there cannot
be over production, while one man or
woman is hungry or needs shoes or
clothing, but under our tariff system
over production occurs when we ex-
haust our limited home market, and
the result is that furnaces arc blown
out, large manufacturing establish
ments are closed and the workmen
swell the number of thar idle fellows
all over the land.
We must have larger market if we
desire to prevent the suffering en-
dured by workmen in manufacturing
parts of the country, but this tariff
has locked the gates of our ports and
ostracized our products to every for
eign market.
As long as it exists, our ships will
idly flap their sails, and their hulls
will barnacle in the waveless waters
of our ports, and our laboring people,
with pale, pinched faces, driven by
want and hunger, will go to swell
that other large and dangerous class
of every community, for whom we
build jails and penitentiaries.
Then it is not only want and pow
erty for which our defective political
economy is responsible, but, worse
than all, crime in all its hideous
| forms

1875, when it was a one-year old, for
$3.50. He was driven to Kansas and
kept on the range three years, at the
end of which time he weighed 1,6OO
pounds. He was held in Kansas City
until six years old, when he was ship
ped to the Chicago stock yards, where
he now is, and kicks the beam at 1900
pounds. He will be slaughtered, some
choice porterhouse steaks cut from
his ponderous body, and sent to Colo-
mel Driskill for his Christmas dinner.

GU RIOUS PEOPLE.
Whence Do They Come and Whittier
Do They so?

Whence Do They Come and Whittier
Do They SO?
Every newspaper reporter or chief
of police who has followed his avoca-
ton for any length of time, has met
some very curious people. They are
invariably old, decrepid and apparent
ly careworn, They move about in a
mysterious way, and no one knows
whence they come or whittier they go.
They travel over the country stopping
here and there unheralded and SEEM,
ingly Indifferent at their forlorn and
destitute condition.
These curious people are invariably
of the female sex, and their wearing
apparel defies every known law of
modern fashion. indeed their para
phernalia is as diDgy and musty as
themselves: One of these ancient fe-
males got off the International train
few days ago and soon had crowd Of
curiosity seekers gathered around her.
She could not, or would not tell her
mission. She was toothless, while her
face was wrinkled and deeply scanned
with age. In an old dilapidated pouch
she carried few soiled and torn pa
pers, but the STATESMAN re-
porter could CLEAN nothing
from them. She had no
money. She said she had none, and
yet she was cheerful. One thing
struck the reporter. Although bear
ing every appearance Of extreme old
age her eyes were as bright, as cheer
full, and as vivacious as those Of a six
teen year old girl. After time the
idlers began to drop away, and soon
the old woman was left alone. The
STATESMAN reporter again approach
ed her, hoping to learn something of
her history. All he could get from
her was that she was last from Kan-
sas. She would not tell the object of
her visit, where she would remain
during the night. when she would
leave Austin, or where she was going.
About everything but herself she
talked with unusual intelligence.
About herself she would say nothing,
nor would she accept of proffered
assistance. The reporter left her alone
on the sidewalk. Diligent inquiry
the next morning failed to discover
where she passed the night, nor could
any trace of where she went or when
she left the city be discovered. She
vanished as mysteriously as she came,
but her bright, sparkling eyes left an
impression upon the mind of the re-
porter that time alone will efface.
Whence do these mysterious people
come, and whittier do they go? Are
they angels in disguise? Who knows?

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Interesting Lecture Last Night by
Prof HaIsted

RrOf. HaISted.
DR.. Geo. B. Halsted, of the univer-
sity faculty, delivered very interest
ing LEI lure last evening before alarge
an" 48preciative audience. His SUBJ
ject,l 1.-The Prevention of Insanity"
was treated in novel manner, his
lecture being replete with original
conceptions and logical deductions,
and occasionally some rather witty
conceits. He spoke readily and with
out notes for over an hour, in the
course of which he carefully noted
the history of mental action upon the
lives of various distinguished men,
the different phases of mental de-
rangement, the effect of the emotions,
and the control which could be exer-
cised by men over their own minds, or
by their physicians, to prevent insan<
ity. In this connection he instanced
number of interesting cases which
came within his own observation.
DR.. llalsted argued very plausibly
thai .0-ism was one great cause of
ins"l.-ty, resulting from men and
women allowing their minds to brood
over their m1sfortunes and disappo1nt-
ments long after they remained cons
scious of the tendency of their refec-
lions towards insanity. In such cases
they should seek a diversion of
thoughts, or go to physician. Some
sort of steady occupation should be
sought to prevent the mind rioting in
melancholy reflections. Work was a
great means to prevent melancholy,
which could generally be successfully
treated before it ends in dementia
and lands the victim in the mad
house.
DIR. Halsted further argued that the
| ratio of insanity was in proportion to
the ratio of intellectually of a people,
showing that the mind required work
to prevent alterations. Eccentricity
itself, however, was a mere mark of
| genius, and no evidence of any ten
dency to insanity. The greatest men
| were often the most eccentric. Insan-
| ity was the result only of an over-
craving of the mind for more than can
be given it. Egotism was the SELF
centering tendency which leads to in
sanity.
The lecturer suggested the study of
pure science as the most agreeable he
could imagine-a sure preventive
against insanity. Men devoted to it
like Sylvester and others he men
toned, could never be said to break
their mental land physical equipoise,
but be young in their mental activity,
though they lived hundred years.
The lecture was received with
marked favor.

An Anonymous Letter to Hon. j.

An Anonymous Letter to Hon. j. u.
stephens.
A few days since an interesting in
terview with Hon. j. d. Stephens, one
OF the grass commissioners, appeared
in the Galveston News, as a special
from Austin. It is more than likely
that some of Mr.. Stephens utIerances
called forth the following anonymous
epistle, W ich he received yesterday:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-,
November IA, 1885.
Hon. stephens, Grass Commissioner, &c.,
Austin, Texas:
DEAR SIR-No rent is due or recov-
able in a court of law. on any unfenc-
ed or unmarked land. No business
man would be fool enough to pay
Texas rent for running cattle on any
such lands. Yours, respectfully,
PANHANDLE.
Mr.. Stephens, the Statesman sus-
poets, entertains the opinion that mo
business man would be fool enough"
to put his proper name TO a document
like the above. The writer is evident
ly free grass man from the Pan
handle, temporarily residing in Kan
sas City. He shows his principles but
hides his identity.
