A Curious Prophylactic Against
Small-Pox. In view of the prevalence
of this dreaded disease in various por
tions of the State, we publish the fol
lowing statement from an Alabama
physician, as the facts stated therein
may possibly haye much merit in them:
At a recent meeting of the Alabama
State Medical Society, Dr. G. D.Norris,
of Huntsville. stated that, durincr a
visitation of small-pox at Huntsville, a
number of families used a tea made of
the cimicifuga racemosa, and that in no
instance did any of these persons take
the small-pox. Dr. Norris was unable
to learn at whose instance this device
was adopted. He stated further, that,
during the time these families used the
tea, he attempted to vrc 'inate a number
ol the families and that in every
instance he failed, but that after the tea
was discontinued be succeeded with
vaccination in the cases where he had
failed while they were under the
influence of the tea.
This cimicifuga racemosa is known
as the black snake root, or cohosh. It -should
be used in. moderation, because
large dose3 produce impaired vision,
r2? nausea ana vomitipg. its mc-
. i .
bv manv pminpnt lnpmhpra rf thp. mprl.
ical profession. Id the Transactions of
the American Medical Association, vol.
I, 352, Dr. F. N. Johnson reported ex
traordinary success with it in acute
rheumatism. In chorea, a disease often
allied with rheumatism, the medicine
has been very successfully used.
One ounce oi the root may be boiled
for a short time in one pint of water,
and from half a pint to a pint may be
used in twentv-four hours. The fluid
extract is probably superior to any other
preparation. 11ns should be made by
some able pharmaceutist. The dose of
the fluid extract is about a tcaspoonful
three or four times a day.
The facts stated by Dr. Norns go to
confirm the truth of Jeriner's discovery,
that vaccination is small pox. Another
curious fact is worth remembering in
this connection. The cimicifuga race
mosa is called the black snake root, and
is supposed to have received that name
from its assumed efficacy in curing the
bite ol the rattle-snake. Here is
another curious coincidence : Professor
Heriry, of Manchester, England, dis
covered that a heat equal to 33 degrees
of Farenheit's scale entirely destrovs
the poison of small pox, of the rattle
snake and of the cobra dicapello. This
important truth should be a prophylac
tic against the senseless destruction of
bed clothing and personal clothing of
victims of small pox. Boiling water is
212 degrees of Farenheit's scale, and
will utterly destroy small pox poison.
Black snake root Will be in much
greater demand than ever before, if the
above statement be true, and it the
,. . - , .
iacis uecome generally Known, ivn
antidote against small-pox, against the
bite of a snake, as well a3 rheumatism,
is surely an article of great value. We
are informed that the black snake root
and ginseng are found to grow luxuri
ously and very abundantly in Western
North Carolina. It is probably more
abundont there than anywhere else on
this continent.
Borrowed Books. A friend, who
has suffered from the evil complained
of, suggests the following article on
book borrowing :
Our own experience has been an ex
pensive one. A large number ol our
books are now 'out on the borrow
Some of them our most valuable works,
and many have been out for a year and
more. All efforts on cur part to have
thm brought home have proven fruit
less, and we have come to the conclusion
that some of our 'book' friends have no
conscience, way, to borrow a oook,
involves certainly as sacred an obliga
tion as does the loan of the price ot the
book in money. , But there are many
people who take a different view. We
have loaned out a large number of
books, and perhaps as many more were
taken irouvour shelves during our ab-
sence, and without permission. Only
in a few instances are they returned
We hear the same complaint from other
people who are unfortunate enough to
own books.'

Simpson Mordecai and Thomas Grn-
fice, , the convicted men of the "Hick3
Outrage " case were brought before the
Bar ot the Court and Judge Watts pro
nounced upon their guilty heads the
sentence of death as follows :
"You have been convicted bya jury of
your countrymen, selected by a jury of
yourselves, of one of the highest crimes
known to our law.
The Court, on account ot your pover
ty, and in obedience tc-a. general pro
vision of tbe Constitution, assigned you
counsel learned in the law, and faith
fully have they, discharged their duty.
Every effort has been made by them
in this Court to avert the terrible doom
that awaits you.
No reasonable complaints can there
ore be made by you or your friends tor
want of able and learned counsel.
Neither can you complain at the verdict
of the jury, who were forced to render a
painful and unwilling verdict, from the
overwhelming and convincing testimo
ny against you. And we cannot sup
pose that any prejudice existed against
you in the mind of the jury, when ten
twelfths of them were of your own race.
Your own conduct has brought down
upon the terrible judgment of the law;
and you . have placed upon the Court
the saddest and most painful duty that
can attach to the position it holds, that
of consigning you to.a felon's grave ; and
while regrets lor an ill-spent hie will be.
of little use to you, you will have a short
period for repentance and prayer : aud
I beseech you to seek forgiveness of
Him who alone can save you, even' to
the. uttermost : That in the world to
come, in vast eternity, to which we are
all hastening; you may stand redeemed
from sin and accepted through the
mediation and atonement of, our Lord
and Master. . .v
Now, in vindication of the majesty of
a violated law,' aud in obedience to its
mandates,
It is the Order oi tht Court, that you,
Simpson Mordecai and Thomas Gritiice,
betaken to the Common Jail of the
county, and bp kept in close confine
ment therein, until Friday, the 28th
day of Februray next, and on that dav
you shall be taken thence by the Sheriff,
and between the hours ot twelve o clock,
meridian, and two o'clock, past merid
ian of that day, and within the Jail
enclosures, you will be hanged by the
neck until you are dead.
May God, in in His infinite mercy-
and goodness, have mercy upon your
souls."
An appeal by their counsel was prayed
and granted. ;

Messrs. Humphreys and Moorehead,
of Rockingham, from the Committee
made some explanations in regard to
the amendments proposed by the Com-
mittee.
Mr. Morchead, of Guilford, was not
prepared to vote intelligently upon the

glean 4 from its reading and would

postponed till Thursday at 12 o'clock
and the bill be printed. -
Mr. Humphrey thought it best to let
the bill pass its second reading and then
Mr. Moorehead's motion adopted.
Mr. Ellis of Columbus, thought that
as the proposed Railroad would enure
to the advagtage' of Foreign Corporat
ions, he was unwilling for the State to
incur the expenses ot printing, and
moved its lurther consideration until
Monday week.
Mr. Welch and Morchead advocated
the printing of the bill that it might
come properly before the Senate.
Mr. Norwood, was in a stingy
mood and was not willing to incur the
expense ot printing.

advocating the bill, as its passage would
be condusive to the interests of West
ern North Carolina.

ticipated in by Messrs. Humphrey, Ellis,
