 Fellows.

Courtland. Aug. 2S.-(Special.) IA very black negro giving his name as Dr. s. M. Miller and home as Boston, lies in the city jail at this place awaiting transpor- :ation to the coal mines. Dr. Miller came 70 this place several days since and Be- gan to circulate among the negroes that he was physician of great learning and skill and could cure them of any i'll known 70 human flesh.
 His manner of procedure was'this: He you'd sell his would-be patient cravat worth, probably. cent and second hand, for quarter, and throw in a bottle of his medicine. The scheme was working fine ly till the County Medical Board learned of the doctors doings and then an affida- vt was made against him. charging the practice of medicine without proper cer- Gficate of proficiency. A trial in the jus tices court resulted in a finding of guilty and the affixing of fine of $50 and six months hard labor for the County. The doctor tried to side-step the law by saying that the contents of the bottle he sold was nothing but water, but the justice was obdurate and the doctor now lam guishes.

' Small Cap" Shafter.

Many of General Shafter's older ac- qcaaintances occasionally call him Small Cap Shafter, a name which originated at a banquet in Denver a good many years ago. In one of the local papers a list of guests was given. all the names being put in small capitals. Through a printers error Shafter's name was set up in ordinary letters and the proofreader marked it " small cap in the usual way. The compositor was from the country and unacquainted with marks used by proofre aders on daily papers. so he in serted Small Cap" before Shafter's name. That is why Small Cap Shafter" appeared among the army list of guests.
