THE MEDICINE BUSINESS IN PHlLADEL-
pHTA.--Two.thIrds of the patent medicine
sold 10 America is manufactured IN
Philadelphia, aud we have every reason to
believe that it is a most lucrative business,
yielding two hundred per cent. clear profit.
The ingredients in fifty cent box of pills
do not cost the manufacturer more than
three cents, perhaps; but the Incidental ex
penscs, including advertising, double the
cost. Nearly all of the patent medicine
made here is consumed by persons residing
ont Of the city; the Phiadelphians them
selves are not overly fond of the luxury
Like pastry cooks apprentices, they are
surfeited with the abundance Of good things,
and so lose their relish for them. The
southern. and western people go their death
on patent medicines. They supply us with
barrels of molasses at the wholesale price
of four or iVe cents per quart, which some
ofour ingenious medical artists put up in
halfpnt bottles add little antimOny snake
root, or sassafras, and send back 10 the south
TO be sold at dollar bottle This is a
pleasant business to the manufacturers; they
all get along swi,nmngly. The greatest
number OF their patients are too far off Ia
make complaints, ifthe physic does not sue.
ceed according to expectation, and in this
respect our patent doctors have an advan
tage over the regular faculty. Some of the
wealthiest men in Philadelphia have made
their money by patent medicines .-Phila

A LIBERAL MEDICAL CoLLEGE.-The Gin
ciunati Times says, the Eclectic MedlcaI In
stitute of that city has taken the lead in do
ing away with professional dlscord, by es-
tabllsllng professorship OF Homeopathy.
The faculty Of this school have no fear ofin-
vestgation. They desire their students to
investigate all things, and ascertain the
truth for themselves.
The Eclectic practice, it is well known
has been remarkably successful in cholera;
and it furnishes the best evidence of the
strength of Eclectcsm, that its professors do
not fear to enter into friendly comparisons
with Homeopathy, from which medical men
generally are disposed to shrink. Upon the
whole, the Eclectic School is perfectly un-
iqe. In other medical colleges, students
merely learn what is taught in certain stand
ard authors; but in this institution they
learn much in reference to Meterla Medca,
Physiology, aud medical practice, which
cannot be found in any publication. In 9TH
or schools, one system fold school practice
is taught; hut in this, Homeopathic and AL
lopathic science are impaired, while the
chief attraction of the school is derived from
the fact that it is known as the principal
source Of the Eclectic or American system
Of practice, which is now so widely diffuscd
and so rapidly spreading in the U. States.

VALUE OF CoRNsrALKs AS FODDER
question is often asked, If cornstalks are OF
much value as fodder. We answer without
fear of contradiction, that if well saved
and properly used, they are fully eqaal to
the same weight of hay.
Last year we fed three yoke of oxen on
cornstaIks, with the addition of no more
feed than we should have used with the
best English hay. Our mode Of preparing
them was as follows:
The stocks were cut with the ordinary
cylindrical machine in pieces of half an
inch in length, and placed in hogshead;
three gallons of boiling water, containing
one GIL of salt, was thrown upon them, and
The top of the cask covered with blanket.
The steam arising from the hot water, swell
led and sOftened the cOrnstalks to their orig
Iual size, aud when cold, little ground
feed was thrown upon them, and thus fed to
the cattle.
The oxen worked hard all winter, each
yoke bringing three loads per day, of more
than ton each, from distance Of three
miles, and in the spring they were as well
conditioned as in the fall.
When corn s raised to be pulled while
green for boiling, the stalks will contain
much moro saccharine matter than when
suffered to ripen. The stalks should be per-
mtted to grow after the corn has been pull
led.
Cornstalks may be grown for fodder, with
much greater strength than hay, and
entirely capable of supplying food for ami
mails without the addition Of grain of any
kind, and for milch COWS, it would be e.
quail if not superior to any other food.

AN INCIDENT AT PITTsBURGH.-We were
amused with the spirit of a passage between
General Taylor and some ragged little urch.
ins as the reception cortege was passing
through the Fifth Ward.
Half dozen ragged but merry little
rogues we're eagerly speculating as to the
identity of the great hero of Buena VISTA
Monterey, and that had ''knocked so many
Mexicans," but we're unable to assure them
selves to which Of the four in the vehicle as
signed to the President was the great man.
One "swanged" that Col, McCande ess look
ed like General that would play thunder
and break things"
Another lad had it that Mr.. A w. LOOMS
had the cut of a General, aud another that
Gov. Johnson loomed more like great con-
querOr.
The other quiet-ooking man, with SO
kindly face and so winning a smile, they
all agreed "did'nt look savage enough
But the excitement of speculation rose to
fever height, and one little rascal in primi-
tive shirt and trousers, resolved to assure
himself to the real General, sang out at yell
pitch, "take off your hat, Old Zack, so we
can know you for certain"
The General turned to the voice, and with
nod and smile at the little group, grave
ly took off his hat amid most deatening
peal of cheers.-COm. Journal.

A CURIOUS CASE OF FSURGERY.-Some time
ago little child of Mr.. Lathrop, at the foot
of Sudbury ST., was playing with a pair of
bvalve shells, round in folm, and each full
ly as large as the eight part of dollar,
when one of them disappeared, and nothing
could be found of it. After several weeks
there was an appearance ofsomething grow
ing in the child'S mouth, in the roof OF it.
The chld was carried to DIR. Clark, the
city physician, who pronounced it case Of
the enlargement ofsome bone, The anatomi-
cal name Of which is too hard for us, but we
will call it one Of the rafters of the mouth.
subsequently DR.. Warren was consulted,
who confirmed DIR. Clark's opinion, and pro-
posed to operate to reduce the size Of the
enlarged bone. On cutting around the pro-
tuberance, the before mentioned shell fell
out. 1t seems to have adhered, the con-
cave sideup, to the roof of the mouth, until
it had become completely embedded uuder
the skin.--Bosion Chroaotype.

How MANY MILES A PRINrEa's HAND
rRAvELs.-Although printer may be SIT
ting all day, yet IN his own way he is great
traveller, or at least his hand is, as we shall
prove. A good printer will set 5000 ems
day or about "A, 900 letters. The distance
travelled over by his hand will average "a
bout one foot per letter going to the boxes
in which tSey are contained, and OF course
returning making two feet for every letter
he sets. This would make distance trav~
elled by his hand each day of $4,000 feet,
or little more than 8 miles, and in the
course of year, leaving out thu Sundays,
that member travels about 1000.

SOUTHERN LIBERALITY.-W understand
that the Rev. DIR. Malcolm, for some years

OF slavery in the State, to resign his office.
1t seems that Mr.. Malcolm felt it his duty
at the late election in KY, to vote for the
Emancipation candidate. This daring act
raised such storm of Indignation against
MIN, that both he and the trustees of the
College became convinced that he coull no
longer be useful to the College, and he ac-
cordingly resigned the Presidency.

never to go alone, and never to 20 out after
dusk Both these resolutions wete fated TO
fail. He dned with friend near Rome,
and was obliged to walk home alone the
same night. This looked terrific before
dinner; but a few glasses OF Marsala, and a
few more Of champagne. braced up his cour-
age, and away he started, about ten o'clock
As he walked briskly along in the thick
darkness, he came full butt up against a
man. He was startled, and the tales he
had heard recurred to his recollection but
the man passed on, and in short time our
hero felt for his watch and found it was gone.
Then the good wine came into play; he
rushed back, seized the rascal, and vehem.
emily demanded "Montre! montre!' The
robber trembled, and reluctantly yielded up
the watch. On reaching home, he recount.
ed, with no little exultation, his heroic ex-
plot, and vowed that ifthe rest of the world
would behave as he had done, robbery would
cease in Rome in fortnight. When he had
finished his oratiOn, his sister said "All this
is very strange, for after you went out,
saw your watch hanging in your room, and
there it is now. Sure enough, there it was
