THE FIRST CLIENT. John Smith, a young attorney, Just admitted to the bar, Was solemn and sagacious as—as young attorneys are; And a frown of deep abstraction held the seizin of his face— The result of contemplation of the rule in Shelly’s case. One day in term time Mr. Smith was sitting in the court, When some good men and true of the body of the county did on their oath report That heretofore, tc-wit: upon the second day of May, A. D. 1877, about the hour of noon, in the county and State aforesaid, one Joseph Scroggs, late of said county, did then and there feloniously ' take, steal and carry away One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars, more or less (The same then and there being of the property, goods, and chattels of one Hezekiah Hess); Contrary to the statute in such case expressly made And provided; and against the peace and dignity of the State wherein the venue had been laid. The prisoner, Joseph Scroggs, was then arraigned upon this charge, And plead not guilty, and of this he threw himself upon the country at large ; And, said Joseph being poor, the court did graciously appoint 7] Mr. Smith to defend him—much on Ihe same principle that obtains in every charity hospital where a young medical student is often set to rectify a serious injury to an organ or a joint. The wllnesecs seemed prejudiced ngainst poor Mr. Scroggs, And the District Attorney made a thrilling speccb, in which he told the jury that if they didn’t find for the State he reckoned he’d have to ‘■walk their logß Then Mr. Smith arose and made his speech for the defense, Wherein he quoted Shakapeare, Blackstono, Chitty, Archbold, Joaquin Miner, Story, Kent, Tupper, Hmedcs, and Marshall, and many other writers, and everybody said they “ never heerd sick a bust of eloquence.” And he said: “On this hypothesis, my client must go free;” And : “ Again, on this hypothesis, it’s morally impossible that he could be guilty, don’t you see 7” And: “ Then, on this hypothesis, you really can’t convict And so on, with forty-six more hypotheses, upon none of which, Mr. Smith ably demonstrated, could Scroggs be derelict. But the Jury, never stirring from the box wherein they sat. Returned a verdict of “guilty,” and His Honor straightway sentenced Scroggs to a threeyear term in the penitentiary, and a heavy fine, and the coots on top of that; And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and danced and sung ; And when they asked him the reason of thiß strange behavior, ho said: “ It’s because I got off so easy—’for if thore’d ha’ been a few more of them darned hypothenUe, I should certainly have been hung.” — Scribner,

LOVE AND TURNIPS.

His name was John Goodwin Emerson, and liis works and ways were these : Tending a pegging machine in a New England shoe shop, and thinking much of Patience Lovering, the primaryschool teacher. When the fi-o'clock whistle brought welcome release from the weary clatter of the pegging machine, he betook himself to the society of Patience or books. That is, Patience would not always receive him, and then lie read books in a species of mad fury. Patience Lovering seemed in some manner above him. He knew this, and had wisely thought to raise himself to her level. Finally the time came when the word that was in his heart came out, and, upon a suitable occasion, ho told her that he loved her, and had hoped to make her his wife. The result was peculiar and most unhappy. This modern maiden met love’s advance with a kind of iron-clad com-mon-sense, and bluntly told him his income was insufficient. Her own earnings were enough for her support, and a little more. She lived in comfort, and had some leisure, to say nothing of an occasional taste of the drama and music. As his wife she would have none of these, besides many household cares aud that sort of thing. Did she not love him ? She looked at him with a sad smile, and said, “ I will not say whether I love you or not • perhaps— perlmps not.” Seeing that he was greatly cast down, she added, playfully, “Ain I not worth winning ? Whv do you not try ?” J “ What can I do ?” said he, bitterly. I am only a mechanic. ” She made no reply for a moment, and then she said, slowly, “That is nothing —I mean it is nothing against you. The point is that you must be more. It is not for me to say what or how. You are a man. I make no promise, but you may win me—if you can.” VY ith this she turned away quickly and walked on alone before him, leaving lum standing in the middle of the rural lane where they had been walking. He saw her put up her hands before her iace, but whether it was in shame or griel be could not tell. It was both shame that she had beenforcea to speak so plainly, and grief that—but, really her griof was so mingled with other sentimeuts that it was part sorrow and part hope. The young man gazed after her till o had disappeared, and then he turned do to the stone wall that bound the ane, and looked out over the wide exause of a very fine turnip field. There were millions of turnips in majestic r ows, rank beyond rank, their plumelike leaves waving as an army with baunors* Of these 10,000 one alone atraoied bis attention. It was a mighty iwnip, fair to see, and of goodly size nd shap«. It was the king turnip of ho field, and the disconsolate lover tudied it with interest. It is a curious fact that sometimes, when the mind is suffering from a great hock or sudden revulsion of feeling he most trival things absorb the attenlon. It is as if the will was too weary to trouble itself about the directing of the mind, and any chance object absorbed the whole attention. The young man considered this superior turnip with profound interest. Why was it so mighty while nil its million brothers were no more than ordinary turnips ? Traces of an old eompost heap near by seemed to explain the turnip’s glorious proportions. At once his mind skipped nimbly to the future. If this turnip so goodly m Bliape and size, were selected for seed, would not its seed retain something of its noble proportions ? If the fittest were made to survive, would not a superior race begin ? Having considered these deep and morngntous questions for some time the young man turned away and went home, feeling much better. Such is the effect of labor, particularly mental labor, on sorrow. The next day they both reBurned tbeir labors in school and shop and none guessed that aught had passed between them. Months passed away, and already the winter was far spent. She taught the infant mind and he tended the pegging machine, and it seemed as if all were lost between them. Wait! The spring sun a ie idy mounts the sky, though the wind blows and the hi jw flies. It was the loth of February when the young man went to the Bavings bank and drew out some money. Ho remembered the days when he had saved these dollars for another purpose, and now it was all over and ho might as well spend the money in another direction. Before night he had purchased two hot bed sashes, a load ot stablo manure and a few boards. 1' rom these he constructed a hot bed, such as he had seen gardeners make for early lettuce. Two days after, he found a chance hour when the wind was lulled, and he opened the hot-bed. The soil was soft and warm, like a bit of spring land in the midst of snow. Taking a paper from his pocket, he began to sow a quantity of seeds—white turnip. Now it happened that the yard where tic worked was next the street, at the side of the house where he lived with i -i er ‘ He was aware, after a while, that some one had stopped in the way and was looking over the fence at him. Little caring who it might be he went on with his labor. Presently there was a little cough—a highly sufrgestive cough, full of curiosity and

dashed with pique. He looked up. It was Patience Lovering. “ What are you doing?” “ Sowing the seeds of good fortune,” said he, gravely. “ Dear me 1 how interesting ! Have yon any of that kind of seed to spare ?” “No. But yon shall have the whole crop.” “Ah ! thanks. You are very kind. I hope it will bear * some an hundredfold, some two hundredfold. * ” He stood up and looked at her, with a new light kindling in his eyes. “ I hope it will be a thousandfold, if yon will accept it.” This disjointed speech he uttered with ill-suppressed eagerness, and she observed it and blushed. Nothing more passed between them, save a few commonplaces, and then she moved on, and he finished his work with renewed hope and courage. Weeks grew to months, and still he tended the pegging machine, and slowly added to his savings in the bank. With all this, be was not patient. He had not Patience, and yet she daily walked before him. Thus was he doubly sorrowful, for he had neither the woman nor the virtue. He cast about in many ways to see whereby he might better himself. Moreover, he read books, and thns, while he knew it not, he grew in mental stature. Meanwhile the turnips grew. They sprung np quickly in the gentle heat of the frame, and, acting on the advice of a gardener in the neighborhood, and such books on horticulture as he could find, he transplanted the tiny plants to small flower-pots. As they grew he removed them to still larger and larger pots. When the spring came he hired a few rod of ground outside the town, and in Jun~ removed the turnips from the pots to the open ground. He gave each turnip three square feet of space, and he digged about each plant and enriched it to the utmost. The result was as he had expected. In Angnst he had some 100 or more most mighty turnips. The like had never been seen in all the land. Envious passers-by looked over the fence and remarked that “them roots would eat bad; too big and corky, you know.” To all of Which the young man said not a word. In all this Patience Lovering took no interest. She could not understand it, and she had belied her name. She had become weary of waiting. Instead of leaving hi? pegging machine and starting out in the world to make his fortune, after the maimer of the various knights of whom she had read, he went to that dull shop every day—and cultivated turnips. The truth is, she was blind. She saw not the cords of duty that bound the young man to his pegging machine, that his widowed mother might live in decent comfort. With the summer came her vacation, and she went away to the sea-shore for a little pleasure trip. It was her first journey away from home, and it is small wonder that she met and was dazzled by a creature of seemingly fairer shape. He made love to her, and—poor little goose !—she accepted him without even asking whereby he earned the wherewithal to be clothed in such gorgeous apparel. There is a trace of the eccentric in every' mind, and the wise virgin who counseled her poor lover accepted a rich one without a question. She returned to her native shoe town with a diamond ring, and announced that she would teach school but one year more. It was admitted on every hand that the like of these turnips had never been seen before. A single turnip was sufficient for a family of six for two days—half a turnip at a meal. Moreover, they “ate very well,” as reported by the editor of the local “weekly.” The turnips grew to the sere and yellow leaf, and then they were carefully gathered and stored for the winter in the cellar of Mrs. Emerson’s house.

Suddenly there appeared in the town a creature new to the experience of the sober inhabitants. The younger feminine populace declared that it was “Patience Lovering’s beau. ” So it seemed to the cultivator of turnips as he came home from the shoe shop and met Patience on_the man’s arm in broad daylight. tie bowed to her as they passed, but she only replied with a distant nod. The young man stood for a moment gazing after them, and then he hastened home and put on his best suit as if to go out. No, he would not. She would not listen to bis warning; she would probably resent it. There was nothing to do but to suffer in silence, and to be as patient as he might. Then came another surprise. Patience Lovering, the wise and sensible schoolteacher, suddenly resigned her school, was married at the minister’s house, and went away before the village had time to say a word. After that the tongues wagged nimbly, but the young man minded his pegging machine, and kept his thoughts to himself. Again the advancing sun warned of spring, and the gardeners got ready their frames. The young man selected from his monster turnips a number of the best, planted each in a large flowerpot, and put them in a new hot-bed. Lay by day he watched them grow, tending them with minute c :re and persistent nursing. They rewarded him abundantly, and by April showed signs of throwing up flower-stalks. Patience Lovering disappeared utterly. It was said she had gone to Boston, but some said it was New York or London. Yet one remembered and knew, because he still loved her; but he held his peace—for grief. At last it came—the harvest of seeds. He had now seeds of the monster turnips. By every means possible he kept some of the turnips back late into the summer as samples of the variety. He called it the “Good Friend Turnip,” with a touch of sentiment, and he took pams to make it known that he had seed of this superior variety of turnip for sale. He raised a new crop in the same manner as before, and at the horticultural exhibition he exhibited the “ Good Friend,” greatly to the astonishment of the rural mind. The like of these turnips had never been seen, and every farmer for miles around was in want of the seed. A certain seed-dealer came anxiously to the house one evening, and asked the price of the whole lot of seed—about half a pint. The young man suddenly changed his tactics, and said there would be no seeds of the “Good Friend” for sale till another year. The result was that every one was more eager to purchase, and the young man took orders for the next crop of seeds, at the rate of 20 cents for a single seed. The snow covered all the land and blocked the railroads in every direction. It was past 9 o’clock when the last train came in from the city, four hours late. The passengers straggled sleepily out of the snow-covered cars, and stood shivering in the desolate station, fearing to-venture into the deserted streets of the town. The tall shoe shops stood grim and white in the night, their many windows, dull like glazed eyes, staring out on the night and storm. “All out, John?” said the stationmaster to a brakeman who had passed through the train. “No; there’s a woman asleep here. What shall I do with her ?” “Rout her out. We can’t stay here all night.” The brakeman did his duty as kindly as he knew, and the woman took up her child, wrapped it in a faded shawl and stumbled out of the car, and orept along the platform to the street door. The station-master stood by the door keys in hand, as if to lock up. The woman paused a moment at the entrance of the deserted snow-covered street, and asked if there was a cheap boarding-place near by, The ©an knew

of none, save the hotel np in the town, and then he moved the door as if to urge her ont into the street She took the hint and went ont, and instantly the door closed behind her, and she was alone in the streets of her native town. She tried to recall the houses and streets, bnt could make nothing familiar, so greatly had everything changed. She walked on for some time, little heeding or caring, so long as she went on and on from the terror behind. She passed several streets, and she saw a light, and, going toward it, found it was a warehouse, where the clerks were still busy late into the night. By the aid of the street lamps she made ont the figure of a golden turnip, with this legend beneath it- “ The Good Friend.”

Suddenly the door opened, and some one came out and started to walk briskly up the street. It seemed as if her knees gave way beneath her, and she sank down in the snow. “ My good woman, it is late to be ont. Why ao yon not go home ? Ah ! pardon me. Perhaps yon are ill ?” He took a match from his pocket, and when it blazed up he held it close to her face. She tried to hide her face with her arm, bnt he gently drew it away. Suddenly there was a loud call, and—that was all she remembered, till some time after she was awaked to sense and feeling by warmth and light. She was upon a bed, and an elderly gentleman stood over her with a bottle and spoon in his hand. “Take a little of the wine, madam, and we’ll soon have you all right.” Seeing that her eyes wandered, he added: “ Never fear; lam the doctor. The child is safe.” She sat up on the bed, and looked round the room. “ This is not the hospital ?” “No; something better. Drink this, and you will soon feel stronger.” She drank the wine, and then lay back on the pillow and tried to recall her scattered thoughts. On the wall was a lithograph of a number of turnips—absurd and monster turnips, fit for the feeding of a mighty family. Beside this were pictures of other vegetables, and all of inordinate proportions. Suddenly she laughed, and then the tears came. It was all so strange and so wildly improbable. There were footsteps in the room, and she listened eagerly. A shadow fell on the bed, and some one stood before her. “ Patience.” She was startled, and turned away in mingled shame and grief. It was true; it was his house, his home, and— Ah ! there was another near—a woman. ‘ ‘ Patience, do you not know me ?” What could she do or say? Her mouth was parched, and the sobs choked her speech. She did nothing, till at last he took her hand, and then her. thin fingers tightened round his as if seeking help, protection, forgiveness —everything. But that woman—who was she ? “Mother, she knows me. Please leave her to me.” Her fingers tightened closer on his, and there was a movement of the arm as if to draw him nearer. He came nearer, till at last her head was pillowed on his arm. For a moment she lay thus in silence, while the tears flowed. At last she said, slowly: “Can you forgive me, John?” ‘ * Forgive you ? Yes, and more. Now that I have you safe, you shall never more leave me. ” “But, John, he—” “ He is dead. . He was killed in some street brawl yesterday. It is in all the evening papers.” She neither cried nor in any manner noticed this, save to say, sadly: “I am glad. He—he was not a good man. I loved him once ; but it is better so.” Then lie found words to say all that had been in his heart these years. She heard it all in happy silence, and then she said, with a faint trace of her old manner, “How came you so rich, John? You are well off. I see it plainly.” “ Turnip 3, mv love, only turnips. The house of ‘Emerson Sc Co., Seed Growers and Dealers,’ is founded on turnips. You shall have a quarter section of a Good Friend Turnip for dinner as soon as you are able to come down.”— Harptr's Bazar.

Grandfather Lickshingle on the Hot Weather.

“This is very unpleasant weather,” said Grandfather Lickshingle, yesterday. “I am goin’ on 200 years old now, an’ I don’t remember ever seein’ nuthin’like it.” *> “It’s awful,” growled a member of the family; “if it doesn’t soon getcooler I do think we shall die.” “Cooler? die?” exclaimed grandfather, “ wh—wh—what d’ye mean, child? I wasn’t complainin’ about the heat,” he went on, buttoning up his dressing gown. “I was about to remark that I never see such confoundedly cool weather at this time of year. Why, only think, here’s it’s the middle of July, and the thermometer down to a hundred and ten in the shade,” and he shrugged his shoulders as if a lump of ice had slid down his back. “I wouldn’t be surprised, he continued, ‘ ‘ if the blamed mercury should git down to a hundred afore it stops, and freeze half of us to death, same as it did once out West.” “Out West?’ “Yes; in St. Louis.” “You must be mistaken, grandfather ; St. Louis is the hottest place in the world. People are dying there from the heat by dozens.” “ Oh, I know they are now; and I don t wonder at it—people have become so everlastin’ly delicate these days that they can t stand nothin’. Now, when I lived in St. Louis it was inhabited by a diflerent breed of cats. In them days the reg’lar temper’ture was from 250 to 300 in the shade.” Here the member got out of the room, unperceived by grandfather, who continued : “That made it kind of pleasant and healthy. But one summer, right in the middle of harvest, the thermometer fell down to a hundred an* five, an’ X never see such distress in all my life. People just literally froze to death. If your grandfather hadn’t been tougher than a pine knot-hole, I’m sure he wouldn’t be here now to tell it. But I had lots 6f heavy elothin’ and managed to worry through. There’s somethin’ in the air now that reminds mo of that desp’rit time, an’ I’m afraid history is to be repeated,” and he began blowing on his fingers’ ends, at the same time turning around to see what effect was being produced by the recital. Finding himself alone, he said : “All right; I can stand it if they can. I was only tollin’ the story that they might know a little of the history of their own country; but if they don’t want to hear it they needn’t. If they prefer to remain as ignorant as the beasts of the field, it ain’t my loss. For “y P ar t I’ll go down to the ice-house. It can’t be very much cooler there than it is here,” and picking up his cane and fan hewent. —Oil City Derrick.

A Californian Wheat Farm.

The largest farmer in the State is Dr. Glenn, of Colusi county. He farms 20,000 acres. He sold hie last year’s wheat crop for more than $600,000. His farms are constantly being improved by fencing, the erection of good permanent buildings, etc., and his stock of farming machinery is extensive and complete.

No matter how fine and fashionable a woman s attire is, she never appears well dressed when she looks as though her clothes hurt hey,

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

A round the Item. Farmers, if they did but know it, are under lasting obligations to the unassuming sub-soiler, the angle-worm. According to the Toronto Globe, the simplest way to waterproof muslin or canvas, for hay-caps or similar purposes, is to give it, on one side only, three or four coats of a dressing composed of a quarter of a pound of soft-soap and a gallon of linseed oil. Fertilizer fob Wheat. —One of the best artificial fertilizers for wheat, to be applied in the spring, is nitrate of soda. One hundred pounds of this per acre should be sown evenly over the wheat as soon as it begins to grow in the spring. —American Agriculturist, No one, a German writer says, succeeds well with bees who keeps them with only large profits in view ; for it is especially true here that “he who makefch haste to be rich” will surely fall into a snare. There must be a genuine enjoyment of the business and a real love for bees. Sulphur for Cattle Vebmin.— Let every man that keeps a cow sprinkle an ounce of sulphur along the back of the animal from the horns to the tail twice at least during the summer, and rub it well with a corn-cob so as to work to the skin; then the animal will not be troubled with grubs in the back or vermin of any kind, and will be more quiet every way. — Semi- Tropical. Cheese, as met with in the market, varies greatly in composition. Good binds contain from 30 to 35, and inferior kinds 38 to 45 per cent, of water; rich sorts include from 25 to 30 per cent, of fats and about the same proportion of albuminates. Poor cheese often contains only 6 per cent, of fat, and 40 to 50 per cent, of water. The amount of ash varies from 3 to 10 per cent.

. Simple Test for Milk.— The Milch Zeitung communicates a plan for testing milk which possesses the merit at least of simplicity. A well-polished knittingneedle is dipped into a deep vessel of milk and immediately withdrawn in an upright position, when, if the sample be pure, some of the fluid will be found to adhere to it, while such is not the case if water has been added to the milk even in the smallest proportions. Mr. Wm. Sanders, Superintendent of the Agricultural Grounds at Washington, says he has been experimenting a long time to try to prevent blight, and whether or not he has an infallible remedy he is unable to determine—he only knows that for ten years he has painted or washed apple and pear trees once or twice a year with a lime whitewash strongly impregnated with sulphur, and such trees have thus far escaped the blight, though it has appeared in the adjacent orchards. Apple Worms. —An extensive fruit grower of Western New York states that while scraping his apple trees he found lodged in the crotch of nearly every tree a nest of worms identical with those found in an apple; that the worm was safely secreted beneath the bark, where washing the surface of the tree over its bed would not affect or even disturb it. By removing the scaly bark and applying a coat of we>>k lye, the insects were at once killed, and thereby, in his opinion, an immense army of worms indirectly exterminated.— Exchange.

Currants and Gooseberries. —Much pruning in the fall may be avoided by removing shoots which push now where stems are not needed; they are easily pulled out. Generally the bushes are too full of wood and leaves for the most abundant fruit. In some markets both these fruits bring a better price when picked green—indeed, gooseberries are rarely sold otherwise. By heavy mulching, the fruit of the currant may be kept on the bushes a long while in good condition for table use. For jelly, currants should be gathered as soon as fairly colored. Charcoal in Turkey-Feeding.— An old turkey-raiser narrates the following experiment: Four turkeys were confined in a pen, and fed on meal, potatoes and oats. Four others of the same brood were also, at the same time, confined in another pen, and fed daily on the same articles, but with one pint of very finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their food—mixed meal and boiled potatoes. They had also a plentiful supply of broken charcoal in their pen. The eight were killed on the same day, and there was a difference of one and a half pounds each in favor of the fowls which had been supplied with charcoal, they being much the fattest and the meat greatly superior in point of tenderness and flavor.— Cultivator.

About the House. Beef Liver. — Cut it in slices half an inch thick, pour boiling water over it, drain, and broil it with thin slices of pork dipped in flour; cut it .in mouthfuls, and heat it with butter, pepper and salt for three or four minutes. Breakfast Cakes. —Two cupfuls of sour milk, half a cupful of molasses, a teaspoonful of soda, a heaping cupful of flour and Indian meal to make a stiff batter. Add a little salt, and fry as griddle cakes. Deodorizers.— A pail of clear water in a newly-painted room will remove the sickening odor of paint. Coffee pounded in a moitar and roasted on an iron plate, sugar burned on hot coals, and vinegar boiled with myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and furniture of the sickroom are excellent deodorizers. For Burns. — Strong, fresh, clear lime water mixed with as much linseed oil as it will cut; shake the bottle before a Pplyi n g; 'wrap the bum in cotton wadding saturated with the lotion; wet as often as it appears dry, without removing cotton from bum for nine days, when new skin will probably have formed.

Citron Cake.—l£ cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 6 eggs, 1 teaspoonful “royal baking powder,” or J teaspoonful of soda and | ditto cream of tartar, 1 pint flour, 1 cup citron, cut in thin slices. Rub, the butter and sugar to a smooth cream, add the eggs two at a time, beating five minutes between each J§ift the flour nnd baking powder, add it tothe butter and sugar with the citron. Onion Toast. —Boil some small onions, changing the water twice, and salting the last time. When done, take the onions up with a skimmer. Thicken the water, which should be boiled away to about a pint, with a very little corn-starch; add butter, pepper and salt to taste. Have toasted some thin slices of bread, lay them in a dish, put the onions on the slices, and pour the gravy over. Celery Leaves.— Most housekeepers throw away the leaves and green tops of celery. There is a better way than this. Dry them thoroughly in the oven, then pulverize to a fine powder, and they make a very delicious seasoning for soup, the aroma and strength of the celery being remarkably preserved. After being pulverized, the powder should be kept in a jar or closed" bottle to preserve the strength. Cooking Calf’s or Pig’s Liver.— Put a little lard into a sauce-pan, and when hot throw in onion chopped fine, and the slices of calf’s liver floured. Turn the liver several times, allowing it to cook well and imbibe the *aste of the onion. When done, drain out the liver, and put into your pan a piece of buttea the size of a large hickory nut and a heaping teaspoonful of flour, stir it until it assumes a fine brown color, then pour in a cupful of boiling water, stirring it

[well with the egg-whisk, add pepper, salt, and a heaping table-spoonful of vinegar; put the liver slices into the sauce, ana let them remain at the side of the fixe until ready to serve.

Facts of Great Interest to All-Time and Money Saved.

All families are interested in their family physicians. They may take quack medicines for slight ailments, bat when true sickness comes then most come the family doctor. All are interested then in this matter, and every family newspaper should give them valuable information and advice. Every one knows that, in times gone by, the great family doctors were educated in New York and Philadelphia, bnt that in these days such is no longer the case. The great cities of the West, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati, all contain medical colleges in which the very best ednc&tion is to be obtained. The cost of this education is far less than it is in Eastern cities; a fact of great interest to parents and guardians, and to all interested in medical students. Indeed, so important is this money question to our readers, that we must give them information which will save for themselves and their friends both time and money. In the Atlantic cities a student has to pay for two courses of lectures $155 each; or $3lO for the two. His diploma fee is S3O; all fees amounting to $340. His board for two sessions is S2BO, or $l4O for each. His fees and board costing $620. These facts and figures are official. * In Louisville, Chicago, etc., where the medical colleges are equally as good as they are in New York, the student pays for his two courses $65 each, or $l3O for the two. His diploma fee costs S3O. All fees amounting to $l6O for the two sossions. His board for two sessions costs $l6O, or SBO for each. The entire fees and board costing $320. These figures are also official, and show that the student who goes to the great colleges of the West saves fully S3OO in the cost of a firstrclass medical education. If to this amount be added that of the increased cost of travel, it is evident that SIOO would be a moderate estimate of the amount saved by him. Indeed, students residing in the New England and Atlantio States can, by going to first-class medical colleges in the West, save from S2OO to S3OO in the cost of a medical education. Surely these great money facts cannot fail to interest every reader, and cause him to bring them to the attention of all studying or about to study medicine. Parents and preceptors will, we feel sure, thank us for this valuable information. But these are other facts now to be given of even greater interest; facts which show that a student can not only save S3OO in the cost of his medical education, but that he can gain one full additional course of lectures. That is to say, the student will, in seventeen months, obtain three instead of two courses of lectures, and save also S3OO. Among the many new catalogues of medical colleges recently issued, that of the Louisville Medical College (Louisville, Ky.) is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the facts presented therein are so important that we must present them to our readers. It appears that the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College have been also elected to fill the vacant chairs in the Kentucky School cf Medicine—one of the oldest and best medical colleges in this country, this great compliment having been extended to this Faculty on account of the triumphant success of the Louisville Medical College. As the result, this Faculty teach in the Louisville Medical College from September to March, and in the Kentucky School of Medicine from March to July. Both of these colleges are first-class institutions, both being connected, we see, with the Association of American Medical Colleges, of which the colleges at New York and Philadelphia are also members. From the fact of this faculty teaching in these two great medical colleges, there spring some curious and interesting results. Students who enter the Louisville Medical in September or October can, at the close of that session in February, at once enter the Kentucky School of Medicine, which commences its session in March and closes at the end of June. In the following September or October these students can again enter the Louisville Medical College and graduate in February. Thus having, in seventeen months, passed three complete courses of lectures: whereas,in seventeen months, any other faculty can give but two courses of lectures. The student’s entire fees for the three courses in these two Louisville colleges are, we see, but $lB7, and his board for seventeen months but S2OO, or $367 for the entire cost of his medical education, board and all fees included. When it is remembered that in Eastern colleges the student gets but two courses of lectures, and has to pay for these $340, with S2BO for his board ($620 in all), it will be seen that in Louisville he gets one full course of lectures more in the same time, and saves in fee 3 aud travel fully S3OO. A great economy of time, A GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, AND THE GAINING OF one entire ooubse of lectuhes. Indeed, it is evident from the facts and figures afforded to the public in these catalogues, that in no other way, in no other city, and in no other MEDICAL COLLEGES, CAN A STUDENT IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS OBTAIN THREE FULL COURSES OF LECTURES AND YET SAVE IN MONEY FULLY S3OO. Every student or guardian or parent who reads these remarkable facts should send at once for catalogues. It is stated in the catalogues just issued that all applications for them should be addressed simply to the Dean of the Louisville Medioal College, Louisville, Ky.

We see that five per cent, of the class are granted beneficiary privileges. Wo also see in the catalogues issued that students who desire it will be educated by the graded system adopted at Harvard, Mass. One is not surprised to read, after learning these remarkable advantages offered by this Faculty, that ninety-five students have been graduated by it in the last year. The class list as published shows students from almost every State, the best evidence of the fact that the public throughout this country is rapidly obtaining and appreciating the valuable information Viata givftn fn nnr raiu^Afct It seems only natural that so many students from the Northern States should seek in winter the mild and temperate climate of Kentucky; for thus they escape their harsh winter weather, and return home in time for the cool Northern summer. Louisville, the geographical center of this country, bids fair to be one of its greatest medical centers. While newspapers seldom furnish the information which we have herein given, we are satisfied that our readers will value these interesting and profitable facts, and will agree with us in saying that all which is of interest to the family circle belongs of right to the family newspaper.

Sly Old Bismarck.

There seems to. be a general feeling of disgruntlement over the decisions of the recent European congress. Russia is dissatisfied, but keeps quiet about it. Italy, however, is openly growling, and claims that having obtained Bosnia, ought now to give her the South Tyrol. Servia is grumbling, and thinks she ought to have had Bosnia, instead of Austria. Roumania is mad because she has lost Bessarabia. Greece is surly because she gets next to nothing for doing nothing. Last of all comes France, who is every day getting madder and madder because of England’s special convention with Turkey,' by which sh£ occupies Cyprus, and, as the French think, threatens Egypt. For how many of these soreheads is Bismarck responsible ? In occupying Cyprus as part of her scheme for protecting Asiatic Turkey aginst Russian aggrandizement, and agreeing to oppose Russia if she moved her frontier beyond Ears and Ardahan, did he foresee that it was inevitable Russia would extend her frontiers and thus provoke a bloody war with England ? When the English occupied Cyprus, did he forseee that it

would superinduce a constantly-increas-ing coolness between England and France, and soon smash the strong allianoe that has stood in his way so long ? Did he foresee that in each case, or in any case, Germany would be the gainer? And yet the’ cynic in the spiked helmet, who could have removed every possibility of trouble between the powers by a word, allowed them to go on, in the interests of peaoe !—Chicago Tribune.

Grant’s Cigar, and Its Effect.

Gen. Grant’s inevitable cigar is credited with greatly promoting the export of American tobacco to England. Soon after he reached Great Britain he met a New York tobacconist and complained about the “devilish bad” cigars they have over there. The New Yorker drew some American ones from his pockets, and Grant, while enjoying one of them, asked the giver why he didn’t introduce them in England. The tobacconist took the hint, sent over samples of his choicest brands, advertised well, and has already built up such a trade that he visited the Treasury Department the other day to see about paying the tax cn 90,000 cigars he had just shipped to England.

Milestones on the Koad to Health.

The recovery of digestion and the resumption of activity by the liver, bowels and kidneys are milestones which mark our progress cn the road to health. They speedily become perceptible when Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is used by the invalid. Nothing so surely and expeditiously consumes the distance to the desired goal. As no bodily function can suffer interruption without impairing the general health of the system, so the system can never acquire perfect vigor, health’s synonym, until that function be actively resumed. Take, for instance, digestion, a suspension of which is invariably rectified by the Bitters. If the organs upon which it devolves grow weak, biliousness, constipation, headache, poverty of the blood, and a hundred other symptoms supervene, 'Which indicate unmistakably the baneful general influence of dyspepsia. The disappearance of all these symptoms, through the use of the Bitters, shows with what thoroughness it removes their cause.

THE OBJECT OF OUR ESTABLISHMENT Our Newspaper Advertising Bureau, No. lOSpruoe St,, New York, is an establishment intended to facilitate the convenient and systematic placing of advertisements in newspapers. It is conducted upon the principles which we conceive to be the right ones tor securing the best results to the advertiser. We undertake to represent American newspapers,not only the newspapers of the city of New Y ork and of all other American cities—Religions, Agricultural and other class newspapers—bnt also the small country journals. We receive regularly and keep on file the daily and weekly newspapers of every description throughont the land.

CONFINED STRICTLY TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AND TO AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. We confine oar transactions to newspapers, and do not accept or undertake the management ot other classes of advertising, suoh as books, sign-boards, posters or job printing. By adhering to one branch of advertising ws make ourselves masters of it. We also restrict oar dealings to newspaperspnblished within the geographical limits of the United States and Dominion of Canada.

THE N ATURE OF THE SERVICE WHICH IT IS OUR BUSINESS TO RENDER TO THE ADVERTISER. We undertake to maintain an established credit with every newspaper, and to have at hand a schedule of charges for advertising space in its columns; to be abli to quote the rates to an advertiser who wishes one or Beveral, and to procure the prompt insertion of the advertisement without any extra charge for tho servi je rendered ; which service consists of quoting the price, printing or writing as many duplicates of the advertisement as may be required ; forwarding the copy foi insertion at our own expense for postage or messenger service ; examining the papers to see that the advertise-

ment appears, when, and in the manner that it ought to; checking each subsequent issue of the advertisement, in each paper, in a book kept for that purpose, at all times subject to the inspection of the advertiser,and marking plainly in each paper the advertisement as it appears, bo that when the advertiser comes (or sends) for the purpose of having the fileß examined, the eye may light promptly upon his announcement, without the labor of searching a whole paper or page. If errors or omissions occur, it is our duty to notify publishers, at our own expense for labor, postage or messenger, and to see to it that the publisher of the paper actually does render the specified service for which the advertiser contracted. OUR PROMISE. o. We promise those advertisers who intrust their advertising patronage to our management that we will not allow them to lie charged, in any instance, any more than the publishers’ schedule rates; that we will procure for them the acceptance of any advantageous offer definitely made to them by any newspaper publisher, advertising agent or canvasser of responsibility. We are unwilling to do work without a profit, and never offer to do so, yet, in conformity with the promise made above, we sometimes find it advisable. THE SYSTEM OF ARRANGEMENT FOR NEWSPAPER FILES.

We have a perfected system for filing newspapnt,, separate space being accorded to each, and iaheisn with the printed name of the paper it is intended to accommodate. A stranger can place his hand pon any paper ne wishes to examine with the same readiness with which ha would find a word in a dictionary, a name in a directory, or a book in a library catalogue. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EXPENDED. Persons who have bad little experience aa advertisers often have a pretty clear understanding of what they would like to do, but are entirely ignorant of the probable cost. We have made out for such a person a plan of advertising calling for an investment of $5,000, and on submitting it for approval, found our customer dismayed ot the magnitude of the expense, ho not having contemplated an expenditure exceeding S2OO 01 S3OO. In •uch a case labor would have been saved if, at the commencement of the negotiation, the question had been asked: “ How much money are you prepared to devote to this advertising f” THE CONFIDENCE OF OUR PATRONS A MAVIIW IiUXimtAJIIIJS, It is a matter of prime importance to us, for the purpose of maintaining our influence with publishers, that It shall come to he understood among them that our statements about the advertising to he done, or not to be done, are to be relied npon, and to this end our dealing with our advertising patrons must be upon a basis of mutual confidence and good faith. OUR CUSTOMERS ENTITLED TO OUR BEST SERVICES. Whenever we are doing the advertising for any individual, or firm, we consider them entitled to our best services. If they suggest using a paper which we know to be not the best for the purpose, we say so and give the reasons. We often expend a good deal of time for very small advertisers, much more than the profits on their patronage would warrant; but we are content, os they intrust to us what they have to disburse, and influence in our direction the patronage of their friends and acquaintances. Extract from yew York “ Times," June 14,1876. Ten years ago Messrs. Geo. P. Rowoll A Go. established their advertising agency in New York City. Five years ago they absorbed the business conducted by Mr. John Hooper, who was the first to go into this kind of enterprise. Now they have the satisfaction of controlling the most extensive and complete advertising connection which has ever been secured, and one which would be hardly possible in any other country but this. They have succeeded in working down a complex business into so thoroughly a systematic method that no chango in the newspaper system of America can escape notice, while the widest Information npon all topics interesting to advertisers is placed readily at the disposal of the public.
