FARM, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD illu'.M About Work. Winter grain may yet be sown; on good warm soils wheat, may succeed sown as tat.* us tlo end of the month, and rye may ba sowu as late as eaily in November." Double the usual quantity of seed should be sown, to it) sure a good growth. Wo ljavo had uu excellent aud heavy growth of rye to cut iu April for soiling, from a field sown in November with live bushels to the acre. Top dressing the knollr- or poorer parts of the newly sown wheat fielde will be found useful. A thin coating of straw oven ha3 been found of great service, aud has helped the crop wonderfully in some cases. For this purpose auy coarse manure or straw may Deusod. Marsh hay or buckwheat straw will be serviceable, as, except when manure is used, the shelter and protection is what benefits tho crop. Where the wheat has come up ttnn ana poor ou wuw lands, 150 pounds of the best guano, or one hundred pounds of nitrate of soda, per acre, will be beneficial. It should be used early to do the most good. Water farrows from low spots should be made at once, to carry oil the water which will gather by-and-bye. When these spois are flooded and the soil is wet it will be too late to do this work, as the trampling of the ground will do more rui chief than the water. This should De done at once. Corn* Uuskxng.?The preFant season oorn may be husked earlier 4 han usual, and t'aere need be none left in the field by the end of tho m -nth. As there aie many things to be done during fine weather, it will generally be best to let out this job by the bushel. In this case keep an eye on the huskers, that the work may bo done cleanly and no small ears left on the stalks. Large ears measure up more quickly than small ones, and are as easily husked, hence small ears are sometimes not husked. Havo two baskets in the field, one for small ears, soft corn, and nubbins, and the othor for large sound ears, which% ' ' ? 1 rru,* snouia De criooea Dy inem?eivro. xuo rest should be boiled for the pigs, or ground with come oats and bran for feed for cows, but never cribbed with good corn. Seed corn should be selected now for next season. Large, souiid ears, tilled to the tips, are preferable to 6maller ones, although two may have grown upon one stalk. We would rather have ono good ear upon each stalk, than two small oi;es upon half the crop, and one small one upon the rest. One large good ear upon a stalk will yield over two hundred bushels of ears per acre, and that ought to satisfy any man. The selected ears should not bo husked, but the husks turned back and braided together, so as to make a bunch of twenty or thirty ears. These should be hung up in a dry safe plac". Corn Fodder.?There will be a soarcity of fodder in many places in the jiast, ana economy enouia do useu m Baving and feeding the stalks. They should be put under cover if possible, as they are rarely stacked so as to keep them drj*. Moldy stalks are often the cause of sickness amongst cattle, which is charged to " horn ail," or some other imaginary or obscure disease. Throw out all smutty stalks and burn them. They are not wholesome food, and the scattered smut will be very apt to infest the crops another year. Potatoes.?We gather potatoes into a temporary pit*and cover the heap with a quantity of the stalks before we leave the field at night. We think this safest and best. They are not touched by a light frost that might occur, nor scalded by the noon sun. As soon as they are dry, gather into heaps of forty or fifty bushels, and cover, when they will be safe until heavy frosts come, when they should be pitted, or stored in a dry cellar. It is be^t to dig only in dry weather. Potatoes are high now, on account of the ravagt s of the potato beetle and the dry weuheV, in some section?.

How to Keep Cld?r. A correspondent of the American farmers' club desired to learn how to preserve cider, during the winter, without boiling it down. A member from New Jersey replied that cider made of late fall apples, and filtered through two inches of clean sand, with ground mustard in proportions of three desertspoon- j fuls of mustard to half a barrel of | cider, will keep nicely without further j preparation. Mr. Brain, N. J., said : " Make the j cider from apples that contain a goodly j supply of saccharine matter; draw it off three times to insure its being free J from pulp, etc.; either bottle or keg it; and it will remain sweet all winter." A recipe for making cider vinegar followed ; this was furnished by a lady member, who said that cider, designed i for vinegar, unlike that intended for; wine, should be made as early m the season as possible; put it in a ban? and j let it stand where the sun will reach it! a 3 part of the day. Insert the neck end of the bottle in the bunghole, so that air can get in without flies taking the same liberty. Piace in each barrel of cider a pint of molasses, a half pint of good yeast, the same quantity of white beans and one sheet of foolscap ' or brown paper; in two months' time I good vinegar will be the result. Household Hints. Cheese Fritters.?Beat fonr eggs very light, season with salt, mustard and pepper. Slice thin half a dozeu large j sour apples, and half as many thin slices [ of good cheese as you have slices of ; apples. Put the cheese to soak in the I mixture of eggs and seasoning; let it stand a few moments ; then put each I slice of cheese between two slices of , apple ; dip the whole into the beaten egg; then fry in hot butter, like oysters, j and serve hot. piiain Cake.?One egg, sugar, one cupfui, butter, one-half cupful, sweet milk, oue cupful, three tablespoonfuls baking powder in four cupfula flour. Mix sugar and baiter ; beat, the eggs thoroughly ; add it to the sugar and butter, beat it well, with lemon to flavor it; add lastly the flour, i. e.t add the milk to the egg, sugar, butter, and lemon, and lastly the flour, and bake in a quick oven. Destroying Red Ants?These little creatures have been the al diction of many a tidy housekeeper. Gam camphor is their special aversion. Break it on every shelf in your cupboard and pantry. The remedy is cleanly, easily appb'ed, and withal effectual.

Mix "^ell together, and fry in hot butter. The Uftctul Work ol Innects. Insects are useful in destroying dead vegetable substances, which are even more pernicious to man than animals in the same condition, and not only the soft and succulent portions, but even' the nolid wood is consumed by them. In the immense forests of the tropics the ground would be covered, and now shoots be choked up by the ruins of trees which had fallen by accident or age, and which it would require ages to disperse without the aid of insects. But no sooner is a tree fallen than one tribe of animals cuts its bark to pieces, another bores holes in it in all directions so that the moisture from dew or rain may stand, decompose, and soften. OfchMs come to cat off the parts that are sofnCed, and so on till it is entirely broken up and scattered, and this is done with such expedition that they will, in a few weeks, destroy and carry away the trunks of large trees without leaving a particle behind, and in places where, two or three years before, there was a populous town, if the inhabitants, as is frequently the case, have chosen to abandon it, there will be a very thick wood, and not a vestige of post to be seen. * Crowd ut depot waiting for late train : Affable young man accosts gruff old gent: "Sir, I think I have had the pleasure of meeting your before.

The Now York Tribune has the following : The true story of tho manner in which Wm. M. Tweed was convicted has never been told, and probably never will be in all its details. But it required uot only the strict rules of law, but special legislation and tho shrewdest detective skill and tho largest body of detectives probably ever employed on any case, to convict him finally of misdemeanor, even though ho put in no defense whatever. After the failure of the first and second trials, some of tho jurors having been corrupted in each case, it became apparent to those prosecntiug the ring that it was not only necessary to watch every juror, but to hv Iftw the method of selecting I ~ J w the jury. Previous to the third trial the law made the first two jurors selected by the court the "triers " of the others; that is, the first two decided upou the qualifications and impartiality of the others. A law was rushed through the Legislature making tho justice presiding the judge of the qualifications of All the twelve jurors, and authorizing him to set aside any juror, even though acceptable to both sides. The Tweed case came before Judge Davis, and he scrutinized the jury with such care that it was made up only of very intelligent men. It was said at the time that it was one of the most intelligent juries ever selected in this city by other than the " struck " process. But a system had to bo organized also by which the counsel could be informed concerning the persons called for examination as jurors, the jurors when finally selected, and the court officers who had them in charge. This was necessary to prevent frieuds of Tweed from getting on the jury, aud also to prevent any approaches by his agents in the corruption of the jurors. A scheme was devised and its details were intrusted to Henry T. rilirifnn Tirn pjirru it nrst. Rnmft thing like fifty or sixty persons were employed, many of whom were special detectives fron Washington, unknown to New York ring men, and a majority of whom were young lawyers who, it is believed, volunteered their services as detectives. At any rate, fully fifty detectives watched the jury and the court offioers in charge of tbem from the beginning to the end of the long trial. Whenever at the beginning of the trial a panel of jurors was drawn by the sheriff and county clerk lists were immediately famished to Mr. Clinton, who setthe detectives under his direction upon the work of learning before the opening of court next day all that it was possible to obtain of the antecedents of those called. All facts discovered were reported to Mr. Clinton, by whoso clerks ii ?t ,i ULJLCjr wcio outcicu xxx a uui/a. ai^uaucvr I cally arranged. This book figured in court as the "black book." and the use made of it was a great mystery and a sorce of much trouble to Tweed and to his counsel, -who frequently alluded to it. The prosecuting counsel consulted it every time a new man was called, and the acquaintance which it gave them with the juror enabled them to examine him in such a way as to justify the court in rejecting him if thought unfit. In this way several of Tweed's numerous friends were disposed of without resort to the "peremptory challenge." In collecting this information the Washington and the amateur detectives us ad every means possible, making inquiry of friends and neighbors of the jurors summoned, and even of their families. At times they pretended to be agents of Tweed and suggested to the jurors that they might "make a good thing of getting on the Tweed jury." In manyinstances the telegraph was used. Among others called was an old gentleman, who will be remembered as having created great amusement by reference to himself as "the great American juror." His history from childhood in Cleveland and in New York city was investigated, a. i.l 1, TT~ CUO WJltJgrttpU UUIJ^ L49CII 1ICU1V. JJLU ' was found perfectly unexceptionable in j all respects but one : on a visit to Greenwich one summer he had dined with Tweed at the Americas club. He was rejected on that account alone. From this fact it can be seen that the examination was of the strictest. In fact, the main effort of the prosecution was directed to the selection of a perfectly honest jury. It was known from the experience of the Qrst trials that Tweed would put in no evidence in | defense, and hence it was claimed by i the prosecution at the time that convic- j tion was sure to follow if a true jury j was obtained. During the rest of the j trinl nff.pr tliA inrv \r<vp hpItViA rift tectives alluded to watohed the jurors and court offioers in their movements to and from the court-room, and effectually prevented any communication between them and Tweed's agents. He Stormed Stony Point. Years ago Charles M. Leo was a great lawyer in Rochester, N. Y. On one occasion he was defending an old veteran for passing a forged promissory note for thirty dollars. There was scarcely a doubt of the man's guilt, but Lee, getting over the knotty points of the evidence as well as he could, undertook to carry the jury by an escalade on the ground of the prisoner's Revolutionary services. He u 'scribed in graphic terms the bloody attack on Stony Point by Mad Anthony, at which the prisoner, then a dare-devil of nineteen, had distinguished himself, and closed his | speech as follows: " Gentlemen of the jury, will you send , to the State prison, for passing a con- J temptiblo thirty-dollar forged note, an old hero of three-score-and-ten, who, in his yontb, cheered the heart of his country in the darkest hour of the Revolution by storming Stony Point?" This was a poeer for the jury, who, r tiring, returned after an absence of about two hours, when the clerk went through the usual formula: " Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict ?" " We have." " Do you ilnd the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty ?" "Not guilty, because he stormed Stonv Point!" thundered the foreman. Tho audience applauded, the crier rapped for order, the district attorney objected to the recording of the verdict, and the judge sent the jury out again, telling the foreman, in a sharp tone, that they must find an unconditional i verdict. After an absence of a few minutes they returned, when the foreman rendered the simple, verdict of not guilty, adding, however, as he dropped into his seat: "It was.a good thing, though, for the old Revolutionary veteran that he stormed Stony Point 1" Too Bad. In time of panic, when the bubble speculation breaks and the timid soul calleth for its balance, the way of the banker is bard ; but alas! for the rich, rich capitalist who has millions that he cannot invest. The Financier gives this touching incident of financial distress in London: Calling up.nan acquaintance the other day, he appealed to our sympathy, by exclaiming: "I have just had a great misfortune." "Indeed," we asked: "what has happened?" "Weill" he replied, "an old customer has jnst called and left with me ?100,000 on deposit." It was an old and valued customer, and so the unfortunate banker oould not refuse to take the money ; and now he is at his wits' end to know what to do with it. Their Destiny. Three years a^o the Modocs were removed from Oregon to a reservation near Seneca, Mo. At that time they numbered 153. Of this number fiftyeight have died since then, and the r*><-n.foHfrr rlnrinor PUmf'.flmViAr wn.s crpfi+pr than ever. As in the case of the Fiji Islanders, diseases to which they have not been accustomed and of whioh they are entirely ignorant have attacked them. The comparatively innocuous malady of whooping cough prevails among them, and eight have died of it. The saddest feature of their case is that there is no physician at the reservation to care for them, and they readily fall viotimn to the diseases that attack them. LEADING TO THE GRAVE. The Theory of Inebriety tin Set Forth by an Afitoclatlon ol Physician*. The association for the core of iuobriates had its annual session in Philadelphia. The theory upon which medical rystems for the cure of drunkenness are based was explained forcibly and clearly in a paper read before the ! opening o'. the convention. From this j paper wo note the following points made : Inebriety is one manifestation of a cerebro-physical disorder, just as epilepsy is another, with a distinct duration, mortality, and prognosis. Ten yearc is usually the limit of time after its development in which it results fatally. Of late years Dr. Orothers asserts that this disease takes les3 time to do its deadly work, owing to the increase of inherited degenerations, irregular work, the extremes of luxurious and poor living, unhealthy brain work, and oiuer means, wmcn lower viuuity. xi is most difficult to overcome " in persons who have other nervous or cerebral disorders, or who possess eccentric or untrained will power and limited education, in paroxysmal drinkers, in those who smoke or chew excessively, or when it originates in some injury to the brain, or appears suddenly without any particular cause." The mortality of inebriety equals that of the most fatal diseases, but under proper treatment at asylums the recoveries may exceed those of any other cerebral or nervous affection. Other papers were read in proof of the fact that inebriety was fre ?il ? ? ! ?ft? nci TO l^UULiblJf U lUUllrUl U1 uuiouiuj j no jlo wu~ sumption, the morbific foroe causing it taking sometimes the shape of epilepsy or hysteria in one child and drunkenness in another. The producing cause is most frequently a habit of moderate drinking in father or grandfather. Temperance and the ravages of drunkenness have of late years become distasteful subjects among people who assumo a certain degree of refinement.. They are not fanatics. The violence of temperance reformers disgusts them. They are able to take their glass of wine without degenerating into beasts, and there is no reason why everybody should not do the same. If they cannot, why ?and a shrug of the shoulders ends the discussion. Meanwhile one-fifth of the deaths in the country may be traced directly or indirectly to inebriety, and one-half the murders and other crimes which fill our prisons aud jails are due to the same cause. Yet so strong is the distaste to arguing the question that even by prison reformers the subject is virtually ignored. The mistake appears to us to have been in urging drunken- j ness as a crime and temperance as a vir- | tue. That is only one side of the ques- j tiun. The one is also a disease and the other a necessary precaution to rave : life. If the young lad starting out in life, and the mother who follows him with entreaties and prayers, understood ?

No man is ashamed to protect a weak body, but he rushes into temptation to prove his power of resistance as strong as his neighbor's. We are glad to find from the reports of the associ; ation that their rational method of meeting this foremost evil of our time is so fast gaining the approval of the public. ?New York Tribune. Fashion Notes. Felt has had its day for hats. In ornaments silver abounds. Some of the feathers are tipped with [jet. Link buttons are again fashionable in place of sleeve studs. Russian belts studded with silver nails are a novelty. Velvet will be the fashionable material for dress bonnets. Many tourists are investing in Indian cashmere costumes. The most fashionable earrings are arrows of small diamonds. There are bright silk pockets introduced to wear with any toilet. Tho new bluo violet velvet makes up oharm'ingly into fanciful bodices. Silk skirts of cardinal red are talked about to wear under cream colored polonaises. After foliago and flowers fancy foath- era will bo the favorite trimmings on winter bouuets. There is no donbt but that the peculiar shudo known as "cardinal red" will be much patronized. Six cards for fans and chatelaine bags, and moire bows for the same purpose, are replacing meta hooks and chains. There are velvets of two colors, such as Havana brown and chestnut brown, separated with thin yellow lines of silk. The new navy blue is almost black, it is so dark in shade, and it is most stylish when in combination with cardinal rod. In artificial floral trimmings, foilage is preferred to flowers, especially dark, : quaint autumn leaves, spotted as if by J decay. The crowns of some of the new I capotes are made entirely of feathers, j and the brim is bordered with a band j co correspond. New bonnets have high, pointed crowns and close fitting capote, fronts ; in fact, the brim, or front, is so near the head that there remains only space for a slight plaiting of lace or silk, or a sniiiii iwiMi. At a recent fashionable wedding in London the bride was dressed in ivory colored satin, richly trimmed with point lace. She wore a tulle veil over a wreath of real orange blossoms and jessamine. Her six bridesmaids were attired in corn silk, with muslin trimmings and wreaths of blue forget-me-nots and white flowers. They carried bouquets and ivory prayer books, with silver monograms, the gift of the bridegroom. How it was Lost. The following iur.uk-at, related by tho Cleveland Herald, shows how packages are sometimes lost in the mail: About j four years ago a rcgisterol packago, valued at fifty dollars, was mailed at I Liudenville to a post-office in Pennsylvania. It disappeared, and all search for it was unavailing. Lindenville is a country post office, and tho mail is carried thence to Williamsfield by a route agent. In this case the Lindenville postmaster had a receipt for the package from the agent, but as the agent had none from the Williamsfield postmaster, it could be traced no farther, and the route agent was compelled to pay the loss. A short time ago the package was found in the Williamsfield post-office. It had been received from the route agent in a small pouch, together with about forty letters, and as the pouch was an extra one occasionally used, it was by mistake hung upon a hook near the postmaster's desk, and there having been no use for it since, it had been there all these years. Recently the pouoh was taken down for use, and its contents found intaot. The Curse of Runt. An officer of New York city was called into a house to quell a disturbance which had occurred in the room occupied by John and Catharine Farley. He found there the i?arleyB, man and wife, Mary Kelly and James McGrath, all beastly drunk. Two little children, Annie and Nelly Farley, aged six and four years, were found lying on a miserable straw pallet, so exhausted from hunger as to be unable to speak. They had uot eaten any food during fourteen hours. The prisoners being arraigned, the children were sent to the Houso of M>rcy and the Far leys, Mary Kelly aud McGrath, whom the officer declared to be drunkards, were committed. In a police oourt two young men accused of stealing pie from a baker's shop pleaded that they were hungry. "Why didn't you steal bread, then?" the judge asked, and the sentenious reply was : " Liked pie better." The Philadelphia Exhibition is to cl< "e on Nov. 10, the day originally ol <sen, the managers having decided not to extend it. Plague Stricken Savannah. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes as follows : Since the twenty-first of August there have been over thirteen hundred interments in Savannah, almost a decimation at the highest estimate of remaining population and considerably over at the lowest. Of these about fonr-fifthh are given to yellow fever proper, the remainder to swamp fever, congestive fever, remittent fever, congestion of the brain, and kindred affections, all of which are but thin disguises for the milder types of the great destroyer. Of the people remaining in Savannah to-day there is scarcely a tithe who have not either had the yellow fever in former years or during this epidemic, or are at present either taken, dying or convalescent, and in spite of the telegrams from there that the backbone of the fever is broken the assertion is uncontradiotable that its force will not be spent until, like an unextinguishable conflagration, it dies for want of fuel. Jack Frost is what is prayed for by the living who have yet escaped the disease. But the frost lingers long in those low latitudes, and in the last yellow fever epidemic there the last case did not happen until Christmas day?a long and dreary hope for the well, but a weicome delay to the sick, for one of the peculiarities of the terrible disease is that when the frost strikes, while it is safety for those yet free from the fever, it is almost inevitable death lor the sick, whether fresh sick or convalescent. A singular feature or freak of the disease is its refusal, thus far, to attack the genuine negro. Not one of the full blooded blacks has yet been attacked with any of its symptoms. Where there is the slightest taint or mixture of blood, however, the ravages of the epidemic are apparent. Justly appreciating their happy" immunity, the colored men and women have banded together in a little army of their own, and have performed a most efficient service from the very beginning of the disaster.

The city everywhere is draped in mourning, and the hand of death is carved most indelibly upon every wall. Men and women meet each other in the street and speak not of the past. When they say good-bye there is a dread foreboding in their voicas. Those who meet in the morning and exchange greetings are on their way to the cemetery at night. The mortality has been greatest among the Irish and Germans. The few Italians that have been afflct-ed are recovering. The Indiau Question. Bishop Tnttle, of Montana, holds that | lading solution of the Indian problem j can only be arrived at by observing the ' following rules : 1. The disarming of all Indians of both tame and transiently hostile tendencies, including all agency bands of whatever tribe or previous conduct, and prohibiting under the most severe penalties the sale of any kind of firearms, whatever their character, to the Indians. 2. A complete and final obliteration ! of all tribal laws and organizations! among the Indians, placing them on a j common footinc as wards of the eovern-1 ment. Treat tliern as such, oud wipe j out the distinctive feature of nations, tribes and clans, making them amenable to our civil laws and punishable for their misdemeanors as are white criminals. 3. Do away with the Indian bureau entirely. Place all Indiana in control of the War department, under military surveillance, leaving the work. of Christianizing the Indian open to the missionary work of all the churches, and not attempt by government favoritism to make it the exclusive job of any particular denomination. While an earnest attempt is being made to Christianize, let the War department control the Indian, the Indian bureau having proved a miserable failure and " peace commissioners" having worked no permai nnnf r*s\r\i 1 | UOUl gVUUt Entertaining n Tramp. Eliaa Schweitzer, a farmer living near! ! Beartown, Pa., agreed to entertain a gentlemanly looking tramp who professed willingness to pay for his lodging. Alter having partaken of supper the tramp took a cigar and handed one to his host. They smoked and talked on different topics until ten o'clock, i when Mrs. Schweitzer told the two boys to go to bed. At this point the stranger said he would amuse the boys before thoy retired. He performed several tricks which very much amused all. He Raid he could take a ball, which he held in his hand, and place it in the barn without leaving the room. This astonished them all. He said that if the fam! ily would permit him he would go into a room up stairs to arrange the ball, which would not require more than twenty minutes, and when he stamped on the floor they were to go into the barn, where they would find the ball behind a horse, where they kept a currycomb, wrapped in a piece of silk. The family being anxious to see the performance. showed the stranger into i*e best room and then waited for tho^fnal to go ont. In about twenty mi^Stes the stamping was heard and the party left for the barn and examined the currycomb box and on the ground, but could not find the ball, and in about ten minutes returned, when Mr. Schweitzer went up to the room and found it empty and ?78 taken from a drawer. Moral Character of the Oyster. In temper he is even mild to placidity, although he is sometimes slightly ruffled, on his edge at least. He is quiet always, and usually very well behaving; and yet ho participates in nearly every scene of debauch aad revelry. He frequents midnight suppers and ie the companion?the bosom companion we may say?of wild fellows of every degree. He makes no noise, and does no quarreling, but he is present in well nigh every riotous company, and is found at table with wines and liquors of every kind, name and quality. In himself, and so far as his personal behavior is concerned, the oyster is perfectly respectable, and gentlemen and gentle j women have him at dinner without I scruple; dut tuere can de no uoudc tnac his name is suggestive of dissolatouess and dissipation, precisely as the horse, noble as he is, is indissolubly associated in our minds with certain forms of knavery and with jockeyism 11 in all its branohes," as the street signs say. Dickens, we believe it was, who pointed out the fact that the moment that any man falls into the poverty which comes of drunkenness and idleness, he begins to eat oysters as a regular diet, and notwithstanding the high estimation in which the best of us hold this mollusk, his name somehow suggests irregularity of living, late hours, unwholesome haunts and potations of gin. Victims of the Dime Novel. A Baltimore detective observed two boys, one of them fourteen and the other sixteen years of age, going to the Norfolk boat with guns on their shoulders and altogether ready for battle. The detective approached them and, in fkn nl/lov KATT ofofn/1 ULLBWOr LU i^ucoiayu^ i?uo Viuot wwj ouuwu that his name was Jackson and that of the other boy Smith, and that they were just returning home to Virginia from their vacation in the North, where they spent the time in hunting and other sporta.

Humbardt, and in their pockets and blankets were found bullet molds, percussion oapa, powder, matches, stioking plaster and dime novels. On being closely questioned the boys admitted who they were, the elder sayiDg that ho belonged to Brattleboro', Vt, and that the other was a resident of East Pittsburgh, Pa. They met at the Oeuntennial Exposition and decided to "po West" and fight the Indians. They were sent home.: A licensed drover at Brentford, Eng., who, while driving a bnll along the road several weeks ago, htruck a cat with a thick stick, was orJered to be sent to prison, with hard labor, for a month, without option of a fine. ADYICE TO YOUNG DOCTORS. An Old Physician Gives the Yannff Members Some Healthy Advice. Never betray the confldenoe of a patient, said Dr. Crosby to the members of the Bellevue College course. It may happen that you will be called into the courts to testify, but I think our secrets should be kept as secret as those of the confessional. I should never testify except under express order of the court, and even then I can imngine cases where I should prefer to pay the penalty of contempt of court and spend a eeason in jail than to betray the oonfldence of my oatient. Even flaws and idiosyncrasies of character should never be exposed. Humor is a very good thing in the siok room. It is much better to carry a cheerful air and excite a mild spasm of the diaphragm in the patient than to appear like an undertaker. But, while humor is a good thing and, as has been aptly said, "laughs with you," wit is an edged instrument not to be used in tho sick-room, for wit, unlike humor, "laughs at you." Another point of delicacy with young medical men is the question of frequenoy of visits. It is difficult to determine the just mean between making more frequent visits to a patient than the family wants to pay for and making fewer than the case really needs. In this case adopt the golden rule, and 4 do unto others as you would they should do to you." If in your own case you should deem more visits proper, make them, and if not, stay away. Of course, there may be cases where the family or friends are anxious to have you call oftener than is really necessary, but, if it is an understood thing, and you conscientiously inform them that the case does not really require so muoh attention, and still they persist, why then you will be justified in going six or ten or twelve times a day, or even sleeping a month in the house, and let them .. .'4 JUU 1U1 XV* IN HOPELESS OASES. Beware of making scarecrows of yourselves. A medical man should refrain from a doleful demeanor and not prosent the appearance of an undertaker on the verge of bankruptcy. To be sure there are times when it "becomes necessary to give the signal of danger, but thia should never be done by the doctor to the patient. Give the warning to some near and dear friend. The medical man is relied on by the patient and for him to abandon the case as hopeless would be apt of itself to produce a fatal depression and relapse. Confidence is everything, and there is often more in the manner of giving medicine than in the medicine itself. The incurable cases are the most difficult and distressing to the physician. He is conscious that sooner or later the enemy must win the battle, and he should conduct himself so that when the struggle is over he may be conscious of having smoothed thr path and afforded all possible oonso latum. Consultations should be promoted, but the greatest good to tlie paawa mnn nnnrap A I LK'ilU 11CO XII IIUO UUO Uiau yvnwit ?* i young man who is intrusted with sole charge of a case is likely to give greater enthusiasm and more study to it than if he is obliged to lean constantly upon the opinion and assistance of older men. An important matter is the frequent appeals of a patient approacling dissolution for religious consolatiou. In those cases I would never, whatever my own religious convictions might be, tell a patient that the gray substance of the brain is the only God. Hold ojit some hope in such cases. KEEP CLEAN AND SOBER, Medical men should bo clcan. Thore are a number of first-class physicians who present a second-hand appearance. Soap is cheap and should be freely used. The moral effect oif a dirty doctor is horrible. Medical men should also be pure men. I believe there is more average morality among onr craft than exists in any other. For on? renegade physician there are fifty renegade clergymen. The physician whose purity is not above suspicion wonld not be admitted to pradice in any family. From practicing honor out of expediency it eventually, becomes easy to practice it for its own sake. They should also be temperate. I don't believe any medical stndent is ever improved by smoking tobacco or drinking rum. Not that I would cbject to an occasional cigar or a glass of wine once in a while. Bnt there are great temptations in a city like this, and though I am aware that medioal students are the most docile, lamblike and moral young men in the world, yet I am afraid they hear the strokes of tho midnight clock oftoner than is necessary. QUACKS AND OTHER THINGS. The first professional success is the sweetest thing to a young physiciannext to the first kiss. He is apt to feel a desire to publish it, to get his name in the newspapers, or to tell it at the street corner. If any of you should evtr do this, I would call you quacks, and shun you and go on the other side of the way. It is one of tho courtesies of the profession that ono physician should attend another gratis. Dr. Alouzo Clark on one occasion pulled a young student through a severe illness and refused to take a fee. " But I'm not a regular doctor," said the young man; "I'm only a student, and not entitled to the favor." "Never mind," said Clark, " dogs don't eat puppies." It is an extraordinary fact that the greater number of medical men die of malpractice. They call other physicians to attend them, younger men perhaps, who defer to the age and experience of their patients, and, fearing to express their own opinion, do no treat with the confidence with which they would treat other cases. As to the treatment of poor patients, there are many cases where they have to be treated free nf /?ViarfrA Tin Tint nhirlr f-.hn noor. bnt do not treat poor shirks. As to a system of charges, remember that the laborer is worthy of his hire, but do not follow the example of a distinguished doctor of New York city, who, when asked what his ohargea were, replied: " Why, I add up what I owe, end charge it." Expose quaoks when they come in your way. It isn't necessary to go across the street and drag the quack out of bed and scalp him, but when you can, expose his pretensions; do it calmly and rationally, never with anger. An Indian Romance. In the early days of Pike county, Missouri, when the cat-like panther roamed the hills and the fleet footed deer bounded through the forests, there lived near Bowling Green a man Darned Noah Adkins. Realizing the truth of the adage that "it is not good for man to be alone," he took uuto bimself a wife. This lady was named Allison, who had a son William by a former husband. This son William was a fine physical man, and not inferior in intellect. In 1846 he joined Colonel Ralls' regiment, in Sterling Price's brigade, and marched to the wars in California, where he took part in the conflict at Santa Cruz and other battles. After his retarn ho got into a quarrel with his stepfather. They adjourned to Crane's tanyard to flght it out. and bv singular fatality each shot the other's arm off. This affair brought on a separation between Noah and his wife, and the latter went with her son William and her son-in-law, James Rob- i bins (once a candidate for sheriff of ' Pike county), to Independence, Mo. Some time previous to this a son John had been born to Mrs. Adkins, and he concluded to follow the fortunes or misfortunes of his mother. After living in Independence some time William Allison got the contract for carrying the mails between Independence and old Santa Fe. While acting in this capacity he wa? killed by the Indians. The boy (John; wandered away, and wa * captured by the Sioux Indians. It is rarely that ever a prisoner escapes torture and death at the hands of the savages, but Adkins seemed reserved by some ud accountable stroke of fate for another destiny. He became acquainted with the ways of the redskins, settled down to Jive among tin in, and finally became one of their chief*, and was in command of one of tho detachments at the Little Big Horn massacre, where the gallant Custer and his heroio littlo army rode into the jaws of death. These facts were related by an old scout named Cook, who told them in Bowling Green. It was a drunken carpenter who said he oould not carry his spirit level. SUMMARY CF NEWS.

The mineral wool seen at the Centennial Exhibition is made at the Krupp works, Essen, Prussia. The pig iron furnace is provided with a tap an inch in diameter, out of which a continual stream of slag is allowed to flow and fall a distance of two feat six inches, at which point the falling stream of slag is met by a strong blast of cold air, the effect of which is to separate the slag into myriads of hair-like threads, as white as snow, resembling the finest wool. These fibers, like spun glass, if handled, will penetrate the skin. The mineral wool is used for packing s>tcam pipes, boilers, etc., and is a valuable product.

It haa been a desideratum with the mrdical profession to procure a preparation of iron leg* objectionable than any of those to* in nse, which often produce unfavorable effects upon the system, especially when prepared with alcoholic fluids. In many cases of debility and convalescence from diseaso, where a tonic is indicated, wine, brandy, porter, eto., have been reoommended; but these are of very doubtful efficacy, to say the least Alcohol is never digested, is ranked among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable of affording nutrition. It creates generally an unnatural excitement and derangement of the oiroulation, irritating the whole system by Dreventing the blood from losing ice carbon. Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article approaching to parity, almost all the wines, brandies, porters, eto., being more or less adulterated. Such being the case with regard to the spirituous preparations of iron, and the alcoholio drinks, of whioh any one can satisfy himself, by investigating the subject, an opportunity is now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the trial of an artiole in genera', practice, which has the t-troDgeat recommendations from medical and scientific men of the higher character?a preparation which fo happily combine* the protoxide of iron w th the other constituent paits that the effect' incident to the use of iron salts are entirely obviated.
