The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1889-09-05

A most valuable and interesting doc
ument of antiquity has been obtained
for the Louvre museum. L is the
speech against Athenogenes delivered
by Hyperides, the friend of Demos
themes, and the defender of the motor
ious ccurtesan Phryne, who was ac-
cused Of impiety, but was saved by the
orator, who pulled off her pepl',m ard
displayed her charms to the eyes of the
astonished judges. The incident has
been depicted on canvas by Gerome.
The history of Hyperides and his
speech, as set forth BY N. Revillout in
his report to the Academy of Inscrip
tons, Is curious enough. Athenogenes
had a perfumery shop which was man
aged by a man of straw, or rather a
slave, called Midas, to whom a client
of Hyperides had left money. Being
unable to recover the sum The client
resolved to buy the shop, and the
negotiations We're carried on by lady
friend of Athenogenes, to wit, Anti
gone, a red haired and black eyed
Athenian damsel.
All this traffic led to legal squabblex
between these extremely interesting
Greeks, and gave Hyperides an oppor-
tunity Of descanting on bargains af-
fected by women, who were treated as
badly by Solon as Napoleon afterward
treated them in his ungallant code.
The pleading of Hyperides has
q wonderfully modern tone about
1t, and-but for the names, dates
and places-might have been do
ivercd in the royal courts OF
justice in the Strand or at the Paris
tribunal of commerce. The speech is
mentioned by Longinus, who also re-
fers to that in defense Of Phryne, but
it has only recently been found ON
papyrus by II. Revillout, an assistant
keeper of the Louvre museum--Lon
don Telegram.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.


A Cinclnnati Physician Says That Rheuma-
tism Ls Caused by BaciIli.
Medical discoveries are just now the
popular fad.
While DR.. Brown-Sequard's plan to
prolong life is creating such sensa-
ton, Cincinnati physician has one
which will tend to make life more
agreeable to thousands of sufferers.
Only those who have been afflicted
can tell the agonies of rheumatic at
tack, and especially one of long stand
ing.
Dr.. Barnsfather, of 462 West Eighth
street, highly reputable physician,
himself victim for six years of the
dread disease, has probed the myste-
ries surrounding its cause. The doc
tor has been great student of the mi
croscope, and many of the results of
his researches have met with tho most
hearty Endorsement by his profession
al brethren and have proved illvalu-
able to them.
During all the long weeks he was a
sufferer he was continually at work to
ascertain something that would aid
him in relieving himself.
One day last January, when he was
experiencing unusual pain in one OF
his ankles. ,xEsch was considerably
swollen, he inserted hypodermfc
syringe into the aching member and
removed a liquid. This, under mi
croscope, to his surprise, proved to be
full of minute creatures, bacilli.
They looked liked very tiny pieces
of thread. Further investigation
showed that these bacilli existed at all
points where the rheumatism held
forth.
II had always suspected" said the
doctor, "a germ Of some nature was
the root of the evil, but could not de-
termine whether the inflammatory
process was produced by a crystal, a
fungus or bacillus, but all these ex-
aminations conclusively showed that
it was baci''us."
ssWhat gives rise to these bacilli2"
Their breeding places are in decay
ing vegetation. Young plants in a
room are propagators, and they will
come from any place where matters
are undergoing decay. The spores
from such are carried into the atmos-
phere by the evaporating of moisture
say the water that is sprinkled on
plants-and thence passes into the
lungs. The healthy action of the kid
neys are first destroyed by their pres
ence in the blood, thereby preventing
the proper elimination of the constit,i-
ents of the urine, and, consequently,
causing their accumulation in the sys-
tenn. As the kidneys cannot relieve
the gathering of the salts, the skin
takes up the waste and the profuse
acid sweats constitute one Of the char
acteristic phenomena Of acute rheuma-
tism. / had always had a great many
plants in my house, and after my re
searches I removed them and took
medicine to destroy the bacilli. I have
not had pain SINCE"
You think growing plants are dam
gerous, then?"
"Where they are Kept in rooms oc-
cupied by people very much. Since
Jan. I have kept up my inquir-
les, and Of the many patients I have
examined / traced the start of their dis
ease to all such surroundings. am
confident it is the only cause, and that
the bacilli are born thereby. ."0Cincin-

Adam Sell a farmer of Schuyler
county, Ills, is the possessor Of curl
osity In the way Of a newly born
calf of marvellous form and fig
ure. The animal is only half
the ordinary size, and its hide is en-
tirely destitute of hair, the skin being
of pink color and smooth as the back
of Mexican dog. Instead Of having
hoofs like other animals of its kind, its
feet are formed of five distinct toes
that have claws at the end like those
of a cat The creatures ears are ex-
ceedingly small-in fact, hardly visi-
BILE. The face resembles that of mon
key, and from the lower jaw projects
two fangs. The animal is extremely
intelligent, and follows its owner
about the lot, and gives every evi-
dence of affection. Unable to bawl
like an ordinary calf, yet it is able to
make noise like that of a dumb per-
son endeavoring to speak. Some
people who have examined the queer
freak feel confident that in time 1t
will be able to talk at least as well as
a parrot. Mr.. Sell has already been
offered big sum for the animal, but
refuses to part with it at any price

Mixed Marriages in England.

Cardinal Manning evidently looks
with little favor on the intermarrying
of Roman Catholics with Protestants
A case came under my immediate no
tice few days since in which young
lady, a member of the Roman Catho-
lie church, wished to enter into the
bonds of matrimony with young doc
tor who belongs to the established
church. The cardinal gave permis-
sion for the ceremony to take place,
but distinctly ordered that there
should be no music. Exceptional in
fuence was brought to bear on him
without the slightest effect, end the
function was consequently shorn of

An ingenious contriyance is to be
brought out by Capt. Woodward, of
the Royal Mail steamer Don, by which
1t is proposed to do away with oars az
a means of propelling ships lifeboats.
1t consists OF hand power screw pro-
peller, which enables tbs bos+ to be
driven along by any one in it, though
unacquainted with rowing This,
Capt Woodward points out, will OBJ

may get away from a stranded ship

A Repeating Rife Invented in 1922.

A Kingston man, while looking
through file of newspapers published
in Kingston in 1922, found q descrip-
ton of s'new Invention" a repeat
ing firearm. The gun was manufact
ured in New York city and was
invented by a man named Isaiah
Jennings. The description reads aa
follows: 1T is q single barrel and
lock stocked In the usual style, and Is
perfectly simple, safe and convenient.
The number of charges may be ex-
tended to fifteen, or even twenty, each
charge being under as complete con-
troll as single charge in an ordinary
gun, and may be fired in tho space Of
two seconds to a charge or at longer
intervals, at the option of the pos
SCISSOR, with the same accuracy and
force as any other gun. The princi-
pal can be applied to any muslket, rife,
fowling piece or pistol, and can be
made to fire from two to twelve times
without adding anything to the in,
cumbrance Of the piece, except five OF
six ounces to its weight. Kingston
