Protection Against yellow Fever

Protection Against Yellow Fever.
DIR. Domlnges Friere, of Rio Janeiro,
appears to be meeting with considerable
success in inoculatlng the inhabitants
of that city with what he calls "attenu-
ated liquid culture" as ''a preventative
against the danger of contracting yellow
fever" Within the last year or
two DIR. Friere appears to
have met with great success in
his efforts to prevent yellow fever. His
efforts, however, do not appear to have
commanded as much attention in this
country as they appear to be entitled to.
In letter published in a late number of
the Rio Janeiro NeloS the doctor says:
From Dec. %, last year. up to March %,
1885, or in the period of three months,
] Joe persons of different natiOnalities,
and whose ages ranged from 1 month to
| 60 years, were submitted to subeutaneous
| injections in the delt0i6 region OF the arm
with the said liquid. AL, with the ex-
ceptiOn of one or two cases, experienced
elevation Of temperature varying from
$40 centig. to 40 degrees centig., frontal
headache, pains in the articufatiOns, gen.
eral indispOsitiOn, and in some
slight epigastric oppression-symptoms
which ceased after 20 to 40
hours and without any medical interven-
ton. In many cases these injections
were practiced in houses where few
hours before deaths had taken place from
yellow fever; nevertheless in the cases
specified and under Instantaneous n.y.
gienlc circumstances, not one single seri-
Gus accident has happened. / beg to add
that these NEGOTIATIONS were chiefly per-
formed in my presence and in the COM
pany of the two medical gentlemen COM
missioned by the Spanish government to
specially study this disease in Brazil.
The Brazilian and Spanish govern
ments appear to have considerable conf
dence in DIR. Friere's method of guarding
against yellow fever, and it is somewhat
remarkable that the doctors experiments
havn't been more generally discussed and
inquired into by the medical profession OF
the cities in this country which are sub
iect TO yellow fever.

A Bush street barber has recently added to
the interior decorations of his tonsorial
symposium a large owl whose SolOmOnic
visage assists in wooing somnolent delights,
while the nimble blade is Feaping its hirsute
harvest. Yesterday q callow Youth whose
eyebrows are much more prolific in their
growth than the hair upon his lip, and whose

sDied the apOtheOsis of wisdom upon the perch
near the chief chair of torture. Deeming it
rare opportunity to be "funny" at the eX-
pense of the proprietor, who has recently lost
his wife and is subject to fits of melancholy,
the ~fresh' young man proceeded to dis
tribute his stock of "chaff' for the deecta-
ton of the occupants of the neighboring
chairs.
''Hello, Jake, where did y ketch the bird?"
Silence envelOped the shop like funeral pail
and the barber went on shaving. Nothing
daunted. Mr.. Fresh moved a little closer to
the perch, and after a careful survey thus de-
ivered himself:
why, the moke that stuffed that chrome
couldn't stuff a sausage for me- Git onto

poked in there. Pipe the position of him.
Who ever seen an owl in that pOslshs"
He paused for reply, but the painful STILL
ness was only broken by the scraping of the
steel, and Jake quietly went on shaving"
The case was getting desperate, and the
youth saw the necessity of immediate and
decisive action; so advancing toward the bird
with Outstretched hand he said. almost plain
lively:
''Say, Jake, honest, now; get onto the way
they've fixed the head of his nibs"
But the lesson in taxidermy was never con-
cluded, for as the aggressive hand reached the
ruffled poll of the Big eyed bird there was a
blink, q sweep and a snap, and "Jake's" pet
sat quietly munching a small outlet, which

Florida,s EIection To-Day

There is a very important election in
Florida to-day. Delegates to the consti-
tutioual convention are being voted for.
As rule, very good men have been nomi.
mated, and there is every reason toeXpect
that the convention will be able to frame
a constitution that will meet with the APP
proval Of all the people who feel a deep
interest in the future Of the State.
OF course il is impossible to frame a
constitution to which nobody will find
objection. There are those who would
find fault even if there should be no reas-
enable grounds for fault finding.
There are some very able men IN
Florida, and II is probable that enough Of
them will be in the convention 20 keep
out OF the new constitution every
thing that would tend TO retard the
growth of the state.
Florida is now on the road 90 wealth
and prosperity. Her advancement with
in the last few years has been marvellous.
Notwithstanding the predictions TO the
contrary. the number Of immigrants and
tho amount of capitM which annually
find their way into her borders is con-
stantly increasing. Every year new see
tions of the state are being opened 70
settlement Railroads are being pushed
further south and orange groves are rap
idly taking the place Of the pine forests.
With wise laws Florida has a great
future.

The Atlanta representative of the Balti-
Manufacturers Record says ''The trade
review of the Savannah NKws rates the
whole business of the city at $4,000, 600.
This is manifestly an under estimate.
Estimating the cotton receipts of Savan-
nah at 100000 bales this year, they having
reached $1,000 in February, and in mis-
cellaneous, including banks, railroads,
insurance, hotels, ETC., we place Savan-
nah's whole business as follows: Cotton.
S33500,0OO; exports, So, 0O0, 600; imports,
$685., 000 wholesale, $4,000 900: manufac-
lures, $1,000 600; retail, $4,000 600; mis-
cellaneous, $2,5OO,O00. Total, 500, 637, 900. -
When it is taken into consideration that
almost nine-tenths of the exports of Sa-
vannah are covered under the term scot
ton" it will be seen that the NEWS is
about correct, according TO the Records
own figures.

The Times Democrat and the PicGyUne,
the leading journals of Louisiana, take
very different views OF the recent attack
on the President by Senator Eustis, of
that State.
I The PjcQgltne says that MIR. Eusts has
no right TO speak for the Louisiana Demo-
Gratis because he does not represent them,
and that his sentiments respecting the
Presidents course relative to the Offices
are not the sentiments Of those Demo-
cratic leaders who have the confidence of
the people Of the State.
The Times Democrat thinks that what
Mr., Eustis said is about the truth, but
regrets that he spoke so plainly at this
time, because it believes that the Presi-
dent has been acting thus far without a
proper knowledge of the true condition of
affairs in Louisiana. 1t expresses a be-
lief that when he grasps the truth he will
act differently. The TEH6S- DcmCcfdt
gives notice that if he doesn't it will op-
pose HIM as vigorously as it ever opposed
Republican President.
The chances are that the President viii
not change. His record is that he is
stubborn sort of a man, and not easily
bulldozed. The prospect that the Times
Dsmocrot viii be afforded an opportunity
TO oppose him is, therefore, excellent.
The opposition Of the New Orleans
paper may not cause the President to
lose any sleep and may not disturb the
country. The fact will be very generally
recognized that its hostility to the Presi-
dent is not based on his general policy
respecting the offices, but to his action in
connection with the Louisiana appoint
ments. The men who thus far have been
appointed in Louisiana, and those who
are likely to be appointed to other impor-
tant offices, are not the friends OF Mr..
Eustis and the Times Democrat.
The fact Will not be overlooked that
Mr.. Eustis' attack on the President did
not appear in the public prints until he
and the editor of the Times Democrat had
/ labored in vain with the President in the
/ interest of their candidate for Collector of
the port of New Orleans, and after they
had tried to prevent the appointment of a
man named Kernochan to the position of
/ Naval Officer.
1t is hardly probable that the President
/ will lose the confidence of the party be-
cause he fails to DO that which is impOssi-
ble-vz., TO make appointments so as to
satisfy hostile factions that may exist in
some of the States. The Eustis attack
was only phase of party faction fight.

Some Of the Republican papers are
kindly warning President Cleveland that
he is liable to oyerwork himself. The fact
is he is doing a good deal Of work, about
asmuch as can be reasonably expected Of
reform President, but some Of the Demo-
cratic asplrants think he is altogether TOO
slow. The general public, however, is OF
the opinion that he is doing his work just
about as he ought 10 do it. lie doesn't
seem 20 feel the need of any advice from
either friends or enemies.
