GEN. RosskR AND HIS MULE
rom the Richmond Times.


 There is very pretty little story in con- nection with the recent appointment of General Thomas L. Rosser to be a briga- dier. He was bitterly opposed to this war After 1t had been declared he wrote to the president, expressing with characteristic frankness his views on the subject. He added that war having been declared he wanted to see the United States whip Spain quickly as possible, and his ser vices were at the disposal of the govern ment.
 gentleman just from the capital city fairly goes into raptures in relating the meeting he had with the Prince of Abe marle,' as he has christened this daring and dauntless hero of 109 desperate cavalry engagements in the civil war. It was after it had become known that the president had named him for a brgadershp. Dur ing the interview with our enthusiastic narrator, a newly appointed officer came up and asked where Rosser was going to have his uniforms made 'They will cost you lot of money said he. "I have had six suits made, and they cost me$700."
 'T will need" responded Rosser, "a fian- mel shirt. which I can buy here anywhere on the avenue; a pair of shoulder straps and a string or piece of braid around my hat to designate that am an officer"
 You will have to get fine horse, gen. eral," continued the interlocutor. "Gen- eral Butler has had a s400 black stallion presented to him. and other generals have secured fine horses
 We'll replied Rosser, "I have some good stock down on my farm, but from what I can learn a horse will not be the suitable thing down in Cuba: think a mule will be best, and it is my expectation to ride a mule."

Yellow Fever Precautions.

The government has wisely concluded to send no more i'll or wounded men home via Florida. Such men will be hereafter landed at northern ports. The marine hos pital service is very alert, having inspectors at every danger point, and Surgeon-General dence. Great care is of course necessary. The government is certainly doing all it can reasonably be expected to do in guard ing the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. It has eight quarantine stations, where sus- poets can be detained and infected vessels cared for.
 This action of the government should be supplemented by the most thorough work in the way of sanitation in every town of the South Atlantic and Gulf states. There is not town in Alabama that is germ proof There is not one that is as clean as it should be-if there were no yellow fe- yer cases at Santiago, and soldiers were not going and coming daily. Sanitation has crushed the disease at McHenry, and sanitation will defeat the intent of any germ that may be brought in. Another month of thorough sanitation will carry the south over the war crisis and save this section from another visitation of the fe- yer. It is worth fighting for. War and an epidemic would be an unhappy combina- tion.
 We cannot reasonably ask the govern ment to do more than it is doing, now that it has stopped sending soldiers home through Florida ports The rest of the work must consist of local and home sanitation This sanitation should not be spasmodic. It should be we'll maintained by means of inspection and penalties, and all other needful rigor. until the first day of September, and no harm would be done if it was maintained all the year round But from now until the first day of Sep- tember 1t is unneighborly, and even crimi- nal, to neglect in any degree cleanliness and thorough-going sanitation. No Gulf state town can afford to be careless in this respect.

TREATED BY PROXY.
Rich Man Hires a Substitute to Receive
 Treatment for Blindness

New York July 16.-Men have voted by proxy, and have even been married and shot by proxy, but it has been reserved for an eccentric New York millionaire to re- cedve medical treatment by proxy MT. Charles Broadway Rouss, a prominent and old-time merchant of the street after which he was named, has been going blind for some time, the disease being diagnosed as atrophy of the otpic nerve. He has been and still is under the hands of Phlladel- pbia oculist, who does not however, hold out hopes for an absolute cure. At the same time that he undergoes this, he em- ploys another man to be treated by more promising but less known practitioner, whose method is secret When MT. Rouss was urged to place himself in charge of the alleged discoverer of a new cure, he declined on the ground that the efficacy and even salty of the patent or secret pro- cess had still to be demonstrated, and he did not care to risk the loss of his re- maining vision earlier than it would other wise vanish. His present vision is poor, but as it all that he has, he values it as though it were good. However he discovered a poor man with exactly the same condition of the optic nerve, and offered to pay him $7 week if he would submit to the new cure. The man consented, and has been under pay for several weeks. It is claimed that his sight has been very decidedly inn proved. so much so that his employer has reduced his wages to s6 a week.
 It is stated now that if the Philadelphia doctor does not afford Mr. Rouss as high 8 degree of relief, or If he does not check the progress of the disease, he will try the secret process man. It is believed that his proxy has been the means of proving that the method is, at all events, free from se- riols danger.
 In speaking of this case to a physician a gentleman explained that this was one of the advantages of wealth; that rich man elould escape the risks that a poor man must run. The physician replied that on the contrary, in most cases the poor man is more likely to be cured of disease than the rich or great. He said that several poor men, wounded as Garfield was, had been saved, although they had no better the 1dch man who is sick is sacrificed to the timidity of the physician or surgeon. When the whole world or community watches the progress of a prominent mans case, the doctors fear to risk heroic treatment that Is successful In the case of a man about whom there is widespread concern. They fear to be charged with having killed the rich patient by a rash method. While the millionaire can command all that money can buy, he is at a disadvantage because the doctors will rarely try a treat ment that has an element of danger, all though it is often successful in ordinary hospital practice.

ROUGH RIDING AT FL CANEY

From the New York Sun. It was on July the first, In the year of '98, When the shells began to burst And the air to palpitate With blood and heat and Santiago

 trenches?" Then all the rough riders said, "Yes, sir,
 we will; With the greatest of pleasure we'll charge
 up that hill; Wherever there's scrapping we're bound to
 be there; You lead. and we'll wallop those spaniards Then the shells began to rain, And the Mausers shot to kill, gtt But the men thought of the Maine And they went on up the hill, A singing of the 'Star Spangled Banner" And they laughed and shot and swore. They would climb that hill behind him, If they had to swim in gore And go halves with hell to find him Our Teddy rode in such a handsome
 manner. Just then, Diff. bullet knocked over his
 horse, But Teddy jumped off him, right side up.
 of course, And he brandished his sword and went on

GOVERNOR JOHNSTON
From the Mobile News.

From the Mobile News. v
 Friday Governor Johnston spoke at Cen tre to large audience. The many popu- lists present shook the governros hand and announced that they would support the democratic party in the future. We are pleased, but not at all surprised, to learn that wherever our honest and able gover- nor has addressed the men who were for merly populists, he has aroused enthus- iasm. We regard this as a matter of course. The governors record of two years in office is before the people, and the people know that never before were public affairs so ably managed. The people are determined that he shall serve them as governor two years longer, and then well, the srvlcs of just such a nam in the federal senate will be needed.

GENEROSITY IN WAR
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 General ToraPs army at Santiago sur rendered on terms made by the United States government But it is understood that Generals Wheeler and Lawton will recommend that the Spanish regulars be permitted to take their arms with them to Spain. This recommendation is in an- swer to the plea made by General Toral Toral and by General Linares from his sick bed that the men who defended San tiago be sent to Spain in a way to prevent their humiliation under the Spanish rules of war by the infuriated officials at Mad rid. While the recommendation may never be compiled with, no one will think the less of Wheeler and Lawton for having made it.

GEN. WHEELER FOR ooMMANpEI

From the Pine Belt News.
 Now that General Fred s. Ferguson has declined to stand for reelection as com mander of the Alabama division. United Confederate Veterans, it would be but a fitting token of esteem for the old vets to honor Joe Wheeler with the position. He was the first Ex-Confederate general to of fer his services to a reunited country in the present war. He Is now at the front The Alabama veterans to meet in Atlanta next week could do nothing that thls gai- lant cavalryman would appreciate more than to tender him this honored position, and we trust they will. Let the local camp at it's meeting Saturday start the Wheeler ball to rolling.
