DR.. Brown Sequard again cm to the
fore. 1t will be remembered what a sem
satiol} he created about ayear ago by a dis
coveY which he claimed was the fountain
Of youth. DR.. Brown. Sequard's sub
cuta1eous injection was u nine days
wonder, but nothing MORE. Scientists
gave his discovery the cold shoulder and the
academy of medicine refrainsd from ap-
pointing o special committee to consider
the subject as it has often done in analo-
gous cases. Recently the aacdemy of
biology, before which Chairman Brown
Sequard read first a report on his disoov-
cry, vas notified that the learned doctor
desired to acquaint them with a new de-
velopment of his system. During the
winter months, while residing in Nice, he
expe!imented with a septic, injection
of his famous solution. Sequard
claimed that by a new treatment
there had been rapidly cured cases of
chronic intermittent fever, rooted neural
Ola, ,leumatism or insomnia, even leprosy.
He gaferred particularly to the cure OBJ
tairsl by a leading physician in the case Of
q gentleman we'll known to him and to o
fellow member NJ. D., A1sonval, who cor
relocated DR.. Sequard's statement. The
new system finds no more favor with his
scientific confreres than did his first. A
large majority are more than
szsp!ical and speak %piteously Of the grand
Intellectual capacity which IS losing, if it
has not already lost, its balance. There
are, however, some who give open and I'M
restricted admiration to the aged professor,
who at the close Of a long career, when
other men are resting on their %laurels, per-
severas in labor which be believes to be
that of science, careless Of the sheer of
sarcasm.
mons the latter stands prominently
nr yarict, who was one of the first Paris
nbys;cians to experiment on other solu-
ton which sequard had SO far only tried
,,nop himself. Among the majority is
Prof, German Zee, whose lectures at the
Hotl Dieu have placed him in the front
ami Of French physicians.

SINCE the close of the civil war many
of the colored people Of the South have
prospered greatly and one case, at least,
is on record where a former slave and
now a Senator supports his former mis-
tress who is now o pauper. Although
all over the South many wealthy col
ored men are found, Texas is the place
which has witnessed their most signal
success. A MI. Sylvester, Of Calves
ton, is worth $3.50, 900 and his wife en-
ployes none but white servants. Syl-
vester got his money by shrewd specu-
lation. Milton Sterreth, Of Houston, is
the possessor Of an elegant mansion and
extensive grounds planted with the
finest shrubbery and flowers. He owns
numerous plantations and is worth
$500, 600. Senator G. N. Burton, of Fort
Bend County, is worth $500,OO At
the close Of the war when he was freed
from slavery he acquired, by strict ap-
%Dlication to business, a small farm.
This he has added to constantly until
he became wealthy. His old mistress
became poor and when Mr.. Burton was
elected to the State Senate he sent her
lack to her native State, Virginia. For
the past fifteen years he has RENTED
$3.50 per month. Henry Black is worth
half a million and another man named
| Green, Of Pecos County, has $500, 900
to his credit.

O THE SPORTS.

Sullivan and jackson to Fight on. yir-
ginia Soil Frisco Pugilists. in the
Dumps.
The Sullivan-Jackson fight. when it
comes off, it is said now, will take place
very near the national capital. The fight,
it is said, is to take place under the aus
pices of the Virginia Athletic association,
on the Virginia shore of the Potomac; near
Washington. Some months. ago q good
deal of comment was caused by the enact
ment of a law by the Virginia Iegisla-
ture which Incorporated an athletic
club and gave to the officers Of the
club omnipotent powers as to grounds aud
property. 1t is stated that The, club has
purchased the property lying between
Washington and Alexandria, known as the
Gentlemen's Driving park, and propose to
erect thereon a clubhouse and such other
buildings as may be necessary. The work
of construction is to- commence at once
and the management has announced it's in
tention to have the Sullivan jackson fight
take place there. They say they can do
this without interference, for the law
plainly states that no sheriff or police Off
Ger has any Jurisdiction over the property
of the club. The only remedy is the re-
peal of the law, and, for this purpose q
special session of the legislature would
have to be called.
In the Dumps.
San Francisco, which for the EAST year
has furnished the main pugilistic news for
the country, must now be counted out, as
even the fighters themselves admit that
prize fighting has received it's quietus.
There was a large gathering OF dis susted
gladiators at the California Athletic club.
La Blanche and Mitchell were especially
indignant, as they were to, fight soon and.
were in the pink Of condition. Fitzsim-
ons, the Australian. who so easily:
whipped Billy Mccarthy and foundi
hackers willing to put him against
Dempsey, feels that he. has lost a.
golden opportunity to make q fortune ina:
few months, as the California club was.
ready to. put up a large purse for him.,
Peter Jackson is also, in trouble, as. hisi
contract binds him to, fight nowhere except
in the California club rooms. Meanwhilss
the members of the, California club are re-
signing, twelve having, already sent in let
ters and a saore more will folloK.. Thai
directors propose now to test the ordinance
against prize fighting by having two cheap
sluggers contest in the ring, ss@ they can.
get no frst-class men to risk falling into
the hands Of the police.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Action in Congress of Importance To Both
Red and White Men.

Red and White Men.
The committee on Indian affairs has
amended the bill providing for a commits
sion to negotiate with the Crow Indians in
Montana for cession of their lands to the.
government by substituting almost a new
bill. The committee recommends the
appointment of a committee Of three, none
of whom shall be residents of Montana, to.
negotiate with the Indians for o surrender
of their lands situated south of the Yellow
stone river and west of the divide between
Pryor creek and Clark's Fork river. They
are to report their nominations to congress-,
which must approve their action before any
Of the lands may become the property of
the government to be put on the market as
public lands. The bill as reported calls
for an appropriation of S10,0 900 to meet the.
expenses of the commission. The three
men are to be named by the secretary of
the interior.
Senator Dawes, from the committee on
Indian affairs, reported an amendment to-
the Indian appropriation bill which pro-
yides for q commission of three to investi-
gate certain important questions at the
Puyallup Indian reservation. This COM
mission will inquire into the title of the
lands allotted to the Indians, tLeir values
and whether the interests Of the Indians
are properly eesrded; also whether these
lands embrace legally the land lying on
Puget sound, how the lands are to be dis
posed and i the Indians are to be indemni-
fed for the right-of-way taken of railroad
companies. The amendment carries an
appropriation Of $40, 600 to meet its pro-
visions. The amendment vas sent to the
committee on appropriations.
The secretary of the interior has received
o telegram stating that the Pottawattsmie
Indians, in Indian territory, in council
signed the agreement with the Cherokee
commission, ceding to the government the
surplus lands of their reservation.
Representative Hall says that, in spite
of I'LL efforts, it is very likely that the Sis
seton Indian bill can be passed this ses-
sion. A fight will be made on the large
appropriation which it carries.

A GAMBLER once objected to life in
surance because, as he said, he didn't
care for a game that one had to die to
beat. Ordinary life insurance is that
kind of game, but a physician, DR.. Slo-
cum, of San Antonio, Texas, has just
gone to the grave with the distinction
of having got the better OF a smart life
insurance company. Twenty-Five years
ago, while practicing medicine in Chi
cago, he was given up by the doctors as
a hopeless consumptive. An insurance
company in which he carried a $4,000
policy, believing that unless it could
compromise it would be called on to
pay the claim to his bereaved family,
offered to give him $4,000 in cash if he
would call it quits. The doctor &C.
cepted the offer, went down South, in
vested the money profitably, and after
twenty-five years has died-not of con-
sumption, but of cancer Of the stomach.
Even so careful a concern as life in
urance company, with it's cautious ac-
tuary and learned doctors, may occa-
sionally suffer, in common with the rest
of us, from the inaccuracy OF medical
science.

NEW YORK CRY has found out, after
a three years trial, that milk inspect

the Health Board of that city reports
nat the quality of the milk sold in
lss9 improved forty-six per cent. over
that of 1888 and sixty-four per cent.
over that of 1887. The amount of milk
brought into the city increased from
22b,o2S,4 400 quarts in 1887 to 243, O47,-

Canton of Ticino, the most dlminutive

constitute the Swiss Confederation. A
short time ago the treasurer of the can

funds. The radical opposition there.
upon attempted to impeach the mem

deemed it prudent to call to arms the

A SINGULAR incident occurred at Scar
ciife, Motifs, Eng. A man was plow-
ing a field when a fox started up and
bolted away. Every encouragement
was given to the old vixen to return,
but as he did not, and as the young
foxes left there were nearly dead from
cold. the man took the cubs to a cat.
The young foxes were put with the cat,
