HoMHoPArHY-The sixth edition OF
Hahneman's Organon, containing the pri,-
ciples Of this science, has just appeared in
Germany, edited by the distinguished DR..
Lutte OF CBthen, who enjoys the highest
and most lucrative practice of any Home
opathic physician in Europe. Its appear
ance has created a profound sensation in
the school, because DR.. Lutte has restored
two paragraphs which he claims were sup
pressed in the publication Of the last edi-
ton of the Organon i'll 1888. These para-
graphs authorize the combination of two
OF moro medicines in single prescription
and show the procedure to have been known
and sanctioned by Hahneman. Hence, Ho-
meopa!hic societies, and colleges, and edi-
tors, both III Europe and Ameria, are VIE
ing with each in endeavoring to suppress
this medicinal heresy there.
Fifteen years ago, DIR. Humphreys of
New York, then professor Of tho first Ho-
meopathic Medical College in America, an
nounced the same discovery herc, and pro-
ceeded to form his system ofllonleopathic
Specifics upon it, and TO give the adv0nt-
ages Of them to tho country. The announce
ment provoked the same opposition here.
DIR. Humphreys became Il horctic then, Just
ny DIR. Lutte is so pronounced now. Moan-
time the truth prevails. The sun shines
thnn,h men cIoao their ,yos and swear it is
darkness.
DIR Humphreys and DIR. Lutte enjoy their
practice and tho proud satisfaction of see-
ing their patients recover, while thousands
daily use DIR. Humphreys Homeopathic
specifies and are restored thereby, however
lleterodox they may be considered by 9th
ora. Northern Independent, Norember 23l,

A SCULPTOR SAvsD.--The father Of Har-
riet Hosmer, the sculptor, was an intelli-
gent and skillful physician OF Watertown.
When this daughter was some twelve or
fourteen years Of age. he had just buried
hia wife and two sons, all dying with con-
sumption. Ills other daughter had begun
to droop, and was going the same way, and
he found her case already hopeless; but he
said he had determined, if possible, to save
this daughter from like fate. For
this purpose he separated hor from her sis
ter, that sho might not receive the infection
from her breath. He took herfrom school,
and furnished her with gun and fishing
rod, that she might find amusement and
exercise IN tho open air And when subse-
a"cntly he sent her TO school at West
Stockbridge, it was with express stipula-
ton that ahe should be FREQ to roam the
fields, to hunt or flsh, and engage In such
sports AZ would devolopand strengthen her

EAST INDIA CorToN CuLTURE.-The im-
potus given of late years to cotton cultiva-
ton in the East Indies is remarkable. The
natives begin to appreciate the fact that it
phys them better to produce cotton, which
fetches l6d. a pound in the market, than
the staple. millet of the country. which
scarcely enables them to "keep body and
soul together In 1850 the cotton ex-
ported from India was worth about 45, $780,
900 sterling. This years crop is estimated
at e2O, las, 825. Inferior as Indian cotton
always will be to the varieties produced in
this country, it has been much improved in
quality by care in cultivation and packing.
Some of tho Indian politicians are indulging
in golden dreams with reference to the fu-
tue of the country, with AN unlimited field
for the production of cotton open before
them, and a commensurate demand for the
article constantly flowing in.

WooL.-We learn that Mr.. BEARD,
near Elm Grove, in this county, sold his
clip, a few days ago, at 60 cents. This
is less than the same quality Of wool
brought last year; and is less than At
kinson, Ridgley, Faris, J. B. Wilson and
the principal saxony-wool men will sell
for this season. No finer wool is pro-
duced in the United States than these
men annually send to market, nor Is any
ever put up in better condition. Inc
best clips in this section VIII
not 90 at less figure thaf

wa said the other day: Any farmer
who ever had any idea of holding on tf
his wool for fair price will find this a.

find. The crop is short-said by some
to be 100000 lbs. short-we have {

A JOKE ON THE BoYs.-We suppose
no man can tell just how many men
wanted to 60 and see the mill to have
come off between Duffey and Burns on
Wednesday morning, and no one will
ever be able to tell all the devices re-
sorted to to get off without any one be-
ing the wiser for it. Those Jared best
who waited for the boat that didn't
come. They only lost their 50 and q
few hours sleep, but a. couple of young
men of our acquaintance had q rough
time "going to mill" and their expert
snce, if written, might be called "prize
fight seeing under diffieplties." They
wanted to see the fight, but didn't
want any one to know it. So they de-
termined to hire horse and buggy and
get down the river before daylight, sat
listed that they could keep in sight OF
the boat when she came. Shortly after
midnight they started, their buggy we'll
provided with stogies, Bourbon and
"deviled crabs" After getting short
distance below Benwood they got lost.
The night was as dark as pitch and they
didn't know where they zero. Still
they kept driving and swearing, and
swearing and driving, and wishing all
prize fights and the men who invented
them were in country where they have
neither cool lager nor ice houses.
Utterly disguised with the trip
"as far as they'd got" they went to
turn their horses head homeward. In
the dark they made a miscalculstion
and turned the buggy over the bank,
spilling both of them out into the mud
and water and bruising their bodies
and tearing their clothes. If you are
fond of black eyes, and would like a
pair of your own, just ask Chris. to 60
to the next prize fight. You'll get 'em,
sure.
