tables that grow on the moon. 1t is
a problem that will have to be worked
out by the Southern people and the
negro, and Northern papers and
Northern politicians can lend no as
sistance in it, simply because they
know absolutely nothing about this
quaint and curious specimen of the
genus homo. No geological garden
in the world contains collection of
curiosities more wonderful than the
negro race of the South. BY contact
with the white people great many
of them are rising above their former
stations, but the race, taken as
whole, are yet in very crude state
of civilization, and if left to them
selves and their own resources it
would take them but very few de-
cades to lapse back into barbarism
and canibalism. Every now and
then one of them gets religious craze
and announces himself as Christ or
a great prophet sent from God. And
strange as it may seem, he always
succeeds in leading scores of his race
to believe in him. Recently one of
this kind persuaded three young me-
gro men near Birmingham to believe
that they were the representatives of
Shadrack, Meshack and Abednago,
and like them could walk through q
fiery furnace without being hurt.
They tried it by walking into one of
the iron furnaces at Bessemer, and
the prophet, who was standing by,
avowed that he saw them ascending
to heaven in the smoke, and that
they would again visit their friends
on the earth on the following Sunday.
The best way to solve this kind OF
specimen is with good hemp rope.
We know that only the Southern
people can work out the problem, land
we have abundant confidence in their
ability to do it. 1t will take many
years yet, but the less interference
they have in the matter the sooner il
will be accomplished. The Mrs. Can
field class only serve to make the
work a little harder, and to retard
rather than advance any movement
for the advancement of the negroe';
condition.

THE NEW ELIXIR OF LIFE.

DR.. Brown-Sequard, a celebrated
French physician, read paper before
Paris Medical society few weeks
ago in which he disclosed what he
claimed to be a great discovery and
which he christened "the elixir of
life" DR.. Brown-Sequard claims for
his discovery that it has restored his
own health and vigor in wonderful
manner. He is 70 years of age, and
for good many years past has been
quite feeble, and not capable of per-
forming but slight mental or physi-
cal labor. Through the use of this
elixir he has been so rejuvenated as
to perform as much labor as in mid
die age, and with the same ease.
This new elixir is a liquid obtained
by triturating certain parts of young
animals in morton, treating the
same with antiseptics, and it is adj
ministered by injecting under the
skin Of a patient by means of hypo-
dermic syringe.
Just now the discovery is creating
great interest all over the United
States. Experiments are being made
with it in nearly every city and town
with varying results. The following
from the Herald of Wednesday gives
the results of experiments made at
Nashville:
Experiments with Brown-Sequard's
eXliXir of life were made upon a
number of subjects, suffering with va
rious diseases and in different states
of health yesterday by Drs. Glenn
and Poynor at the penitentiary. The
fluid used was taken from the procre-
alive organs of two fine-looking
lambs. A portion of it was diluted
with distilled water, while the other
was extracted from the glands in its
purest state and used without dilu.
ton. This fluid was of a beautiful
pinkish hue and prepared with extra
care that it might be given a thorough
test. The amounts used upon each
subject yesterday varied from a
drachm to two drachms. 1t will nc
doubt require number of expert
ments upon the same person to tell
the power of this elixir, but the fol
lowing are the results as stated by
those upon whom it was tried. The
report was taken carefully and is Civ.

PATIENTS MUCH IMPROVED.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
five patients at the Hospital of the
Sisters of Charity to whom DR..
George Fell administered the Brown
Sequard elixir were much improved
today. Not one of the patients was
told what the nature of the medicine
was, so the results cannot he attribu-
ted to Imagination.

JUDGE DAVID S. TERRY was shot
and killed at Lathrop, CAL, Wednes-
day morning by David Nagle, a U.
S. Deputy Marshal. Justice Stephen
J. Field of the U. S. Supreme Court,
and Marshal Nagle were seated
at breakfast when Terry walked
up and slapped Justice Fields
face. Nagle rose from his seat i'm
mediately and shot Terry through
the heart. The trouble which pro-
voked Terry's attack on Justice
Field grew out of suits in the U. S.
Courts of Terry's wife against Senator
Sharon, she having been previously
married to Sharon.

MANY prominent Republican poll
ticians and newspapers are making
wry faces at the civil service law, and
in all probability the law will be re-
pealed at the coming session of Con-
gress. Now that they have full con-
troll of the government, the Republi-
cans want no strings around the grab
bag whatever. The Republicans
would like to have a civil service
law which should take lull force and
effect when the government passes
under Democratic administration,
but cease to be operative the moment
the government passes into the hands
of the party of great moral ideas.

Much is now being said, written
and printed about the negro problem
in the South, or the race question as
it is otherwise termed. That it is a
momentOus question, no one can for
Il moment doubt. We in Tennessee
cannot realize altogether what it is,
and the people of the North, who
know practically nothing about the
negro, have not the slightest concep-
ton of the situation. The average
editorial of Northern newspaper
on the negro question carries no more
weight than the paper it is printed
upon. They don't know any more
about the negro up there than they
do about the kind Of garden yege.

Two Georgia Colonies, Messrs.
Calhoun and Williamson, of Atlanta,
fought French duel near the line
between Georgia and Alabama, in
the vicinity of Rome, last Saturday
night. They singed several cubic
feet of atmosphere with powder, but
neither of the principals received the
slightest injury. The reports of the
harmless shots possessed sufficient
eloquence to induce them to patch up
their injured honors in more sensi-
ole manner than by bloodshed. They
got lots of newspaper putting for the
bravery displayed on the occasion.
Sensible men sometimes commit very
silly deeds.
