There was an incident of tho naval i,

the Atlanta Journal, which in attracting
considerable attention. In all the i?<
display and pageantry there was but N
ono tribute to tho memory of George tl
Washington and that came from au tl
English vessel. If a person ignorant ''
of bho history of our eountry hud wit- l"
nessed tho splendid review lie would
not liavo discovered that any such per- 1
sou as Gcorgo Washington ever lived, ''
but for tho fact that Sir John Hop- 1
kinp, the British Vice-Admiral, (lushed ''
on the deck of his ship a fiery figure of 1
"The Father of His Country." This
\kas a generous and graceful act. I

Ho might havo gono further and added ((
that the Quaker women have come

? maturity about tlivnmo of year, has ai
aroused tho curious statistician to do u
Homo figuring on their prospects. Ho p
says, notes tho New Orleans Picayune, r<
that there are educated in this country
about twico as many clergymen as
lawyers, and about twieo us many
physicians as clergymen, which makes
about four physicians to cvel^k^wyer.
The United States has more physicians s'
tl
to tlio population than any other country.
In 1880 thero was a physician to '
every (500 inhabitants, whereas in ,
England there was one physician to
overy 1000, in Franco one to every ,
2600 and in Germany one to 2800. In
certain parts of the United States the p
doctora^ero even more plentiful than
the ratio for the whole country indi- t.
catcd. Ten years aero., according to a
ropuct of Iho Illinois Hoard ot nuiu?, - ,,
there was one doctor to 048 persons, t
and in smaller places in the State one I 1
to 260. In 1887-8 the entire number .>
y of medical students in this country was I a
^^18,513 (including dental, pharmaccuti- 1
t Spjl and veterinary), and the total is
* ndlt supposed to be about 20,000. On
t,h(Aasis of this rapid increase, it is '
h*IG to say thnt the circlo of the nv< r- 1
'?Rgo physician's patients is closing in on '
him every year, and if he is improving 1
their health steadily, the outlook for '
liim is anything but cheerful.
It is said that tlio Austrian authori- '

the constant heavy immigration from '
their territories, and are doing all they
can to check it by publishing harrow- '
ing accounts of tho miseries undergone 1
by their emigrants in foreign countries. 1
They have lately published a state- '
ment to tho effect that Austrian emi- v
grants ii^Brazil liavo appealed to their
consul at liio do Janeiro to request
tho Brazilian Government to give
I
them work or assistance. As the resuit
of this intervention, up to the
first harvest, they wero provided with
fifteen days' work per month, at ,
nominal daily wages of two florins <
eighty-four kreutzers, or about $1.1H. ^
This, however, explains tho New
Orleans Picayune, was not paid in
ready money, but in paper, which

Brazilian Government, moreover, 1
havo not kept the promiso made by
their predecessors to assign land to '
settlers and advance money for its
cultivation. Consequently, the immigrants
have been reduced to desti- '
tution through tlio increaso in the
prico of provisions, tho bad harvest,
the cessation of work on tho roads j
and the stoppage of cultivation.

Wanted?A Buffalo Farm.
Washington, I). C.?Secretary Mortoi
has received a communication from the
President of the Nebraska City National
Dank, Col. W. L. Wilson, earnestly inviting
his attention to the desirabity of
experimenting in the perpetuation of
that almost extint animal?the buffalo?
in the Aleutian Islands, or Alaska, and
invi>ing him to consider the propriety of
purchasing a herd uow controlled by the
hank as aircnt for the use of this department
for this purpose. The Secretary has
written Col. Wilson, treating his proposition
in a humorous way.
'The fact is," said Mr. Morton, "tho
suggestion was originally made to Col.
Wilson by a mutual friend, Mr. Morrison,
who is a bit of a wag, and who has proposed
this thing as a sad joke. But Col.
Wilson has taken his proposition in all
1 a ll_ i 12 il.i t

will carefully consider the propriety of
undertaking, as Secretary of Agriculture,*
to make an experimental buffalo farm ia
Alaska or the Alcutiau Islands. The bank
cauie into possession of these animals
' through the settlement of a decedent's
estate, aud I have no doubt th^t, viewed
solely as assets, they are a stock which it
will I c hard to water. But I fill to see
any reason why Uucle Sam should pay
out the people's money from the United
States Treasury to run a bnffalo farm.
Though I think Secretary Carlisle has a
reindeer ranch in Alaska, for which
Uncle Sam expended $25,000 originally,
and over which lie has constantly a
salaried groom and tr.iiuer."
