THE SUPREME QUEsTIoN.-Health is the most important ot earthly blessings, and therefore the nervous anxiety of the sick to ascertain the relative merits of the vari- ous medicines in use is not surprising. Within the last two years many thousands of invalids have abandoned the prepara. tions of the pharmacopolist for the remedy introduced by pr. Walker, of California, under the somewhat eccentric name oi VINEGAR BIrTERs. That this new Vege- table medicine is winning golden opin- ions of all sorts of people, is beyond a douht. Tue accounts we hear of its eX- traordinary effects in cases of chronic dys' pepsia, rheumatism, liver complaints, ma. larious levers, nervous prostrations and many other distressing diseases, certainly justify the popularity which it has every where acquired. Dr. Walker claims for his specific remedial power over all dis orders that do aot involve an irreparable destruction of bone and fibre, and results so far appear to have justified the claim. Tn this age of wonders we are not disposed to deny the possibility of any phenomena not directly at variance with the laws of nature, and as it is held by many physiol- ogists that all madatlies proceed from the same generic cause, we see no reason for the incredulity with which some people regard the idea of q Universal Medicine; Dr. Walkers preparation seems destined to be universally approvcd.- Com.

What Goodness Did.

It was during the terrible cholera year, 1880, in Russia. Five hun7red fell vic tins daily. The peasants were in dis pair. The report was started, and it spread like w1ldfre, that they were poisoned by the physicians. A furious mob. armed with those axes iu the use of which the Russians are so dexterous, rushed to the market-place. No man knew where their fury would fall. The tumult might end in an insurrection. The idings were brought to Nicholas, who had only partially recovered from an attack of the fearful pestilence. He flung himself into droshky, and dashed to the market. Mounting the steps of church, his tall form lowered above the surrounding masses which heaved and tossed with excitement. His clear and sonol ous voice rang through the vast square.
 s'How is this :? You are not the children of sacred Russia. Would you revolt against Heaven ? Would you initiate the revolutionists of other ma tiens ? Brothers, be yourselves again. It is God who smites us. Instead of murmuring against his blows, acknow- ledge his power. Down upon your knees, and implore him to remove the scourge from our country"
 As he spoke, he bowed l,is stately head in prayer and the crowd as one man, fell upon their knees. The Czar had conquered.

San Domingo Again.

In June, 1869, the President of the United States appointed an agent to eb- tain information about the Dominican Republic, and General Babcock was finally sent out there. In September, 1869, he negotiated preliminary treaty, which was approved by President Grant, and in November regular treaty with President Baez was concluded. The mat ter was debated in Congress, a commits sion was sent to the island in January, 1871, and finally in April of that year President Grant relinquished the plan. But it has since been taken up by some prominent business men of this country, says the New York World, who were per suaded that it would be profitable to them to secure what the Government had re- jected. Some of them have visited Santo Domingo, and the result Is that the steamer Tybee has just taken out, with other valuable cargo, the money required by the Baez Government for certain specified amount of territory, including the Bay of Samana, and for which Con gress refused an appropriation. It is re- ported in business circles that one gain that will accrue to the new company will be in the shape of 10 per cent. of the port dues.

The New York Weekly Tribune Agri.
 culturAllY Considered.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty years old, has kept up with the progress of the age in improvement and in enterprise. It de- votes large share of its columns to Agricul- ture as the most essential and general of human pursuits. It employs the ablest and most sue cessful cultiyators to set forth in brief clear essays their practical views of the Farmers work. It reports public discussions which elucidate that work gathers from every source agricultural news, the reports of the latest ex- periments, the stories of the latest successes and failures, and whatever may tend at once to better Agriculture, and to commend 1t as the first and most important of progressive Arts, based on natural science.
 There are hundreds of thousands engaged in diverse pursu ts who own or rent a "place," and give some portion of their time to its cul- ture and improvement. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE shows them how to make the most of their roods and their hours, both by direction and example. No Information equal in quality or quantity can be elsewhere obtained for the price of this journal.
 THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE appeals also to Teach ers Students. and persons of inquiring minds, by the character of it's Literary contents, which include reviews of all the works proceeding from the master minds of the Old or of the New World, with liberal extracts from those of especial interest. Imaginative Literature also claims attention, but in subordinate degree.

PrOgnOstiCs Of the Winter.

True to the prognostics of the buffalo, Win ter has made it's boisterous debut.
 Without wishing to divine the Winter now pending, says a scientific journal, 1t may be instructive to note that the computations of the greatest living scientists give us some general idea of it's probable character. The severest and most intense frost seasons have long since been demonstrated to recur in supra annual cycles of eleven years. Responsive to the mysterious vertical spots which freckle the face of the sun and have been compared to terrestrial cyclones, the temperature of our planet is exposed to the passage of vast cos. mical heat-wave, followed closely by cold wave, coincident, respectively, with the in- crease and decrease of the sun-spot cycle. Depending on the results of the most carefully observed eleven year periods the conclusion now reached by physicists is that we passed through the center of cold-wave of minimum temperature last Winter and are now emerg- ing from it. The inference would in this case be that we may anticipate 8 severe, early Winter, but one of moderate duration and de- clining rigor. It should be added, however that there has been noticed one variation from the rule, which was very marked, and occur red in 1885, -'3G, which occupied relation to the cold-wave precisely similar to that occu- pied by 1872-'73 to the cosmical phenomenon of last year. In the Winter of 1885, '36 the Hudson River was closed to navigation one hundred and twenty five days---the longest ice- blockade which occurred in period of fifty years. If the law of climatic cycles now an- nounced by meteorologists holds good we shall have another severe and protracted Winter about 1879, but, by parity of reasoning, it is possible and probable, we may expect in the latter part of the Winter great precipitation oi snow and unusually severe storms. At any rate every endeavor should be made to supply the poorer classes of the country with abun. dance of occupation, that they may have it r their power to avert the calamities of the sea son. While with reason hoping for the best let every one prepare for the worst.

Farm, Garden and Household.

A preventative Of rust ln wheat IS asked for by many farmers, and is being discussed in several of the agricultural clubs. The best method we have ever seen tried is thorough underdraining the land. We have never known a crop of grain to rust on such land ; it may have done so, but we do not know it.
 CHuRN1Ne. spoil the butter be- fore it comes from the churn, says a practical farmer. use crank churn, with double zinc bottom, and space so as to put in warm or cold water as re- auired, and thermometer attached, to show the degree of heat. No other churn is as good do not churn till the right degree of heat is attained then churn moderately. AS soon as the but ter comes, do not churn longer than necessary, so as to get 1t in lump suffi. cient to get it from the churn. I have seen butter churned too much as well as worked too much.
 FEED FOR MmoH Cows.-A core spondent of the Country Gentlemen says The most profitable feed for COWS giving milk during winter. and that used iD nearly all the best dairies for producing milk for New York market, is good quality of wheat bran and corn meal, mixed as follows Eight pounds of bran and two of corn meal for each COW daily. If the above can be thoroughly cooked with cut hay, it increases its value about one-fifth by actual experiment. I pro- duced from 50 cows 800 quarts of milk daily on ten pounds of feed mixed as above and thoroughly cooked.
 BUTTER. - Experiments have been made in sending butter from California to our Eastern markets, packed in brine, and it came in prime, fresh condition and altogether superior to the same kind of butter put up in dry packages. A favorite style of putting up butter in California is to make in two. pound rolls and wrap in thin muslin. Now, in ship. ping East, new, stout oak barrel, iron. bound, was taken, and 8 large canvass bag made to fit the inside. Then the two-pound rolls, covered with thin mus lin wrappers and packed in upright lay CTS, the head put in place, and the bar rel filled with brine until the rolls were entirely surrounded with the pickle The butter thus treated made the jour. ney to New York without any deterior- 0blOu HI AdVO&p AAA WO AA1NO AO OOubt II would have crossed the Atlantic in sound condition,
 RuTA-BAaAs AFTER BucKwHEAr.-In reply to 8 correspondent the Tribune says Buckwheat is very difficult to get out of the ground where crop has been allowed to ripen and shell seed. Spring wheat, or oats or barley, sowed the next Spring on such ground, will have much buckwheat in with the crop so much that the Spring wheat would only be fiji to feed stock; so of the other grains but with the oats of less consequence than with the wheat or barley. The correspondent himself suggests root crop to follow the buckwheat, and asks "what kind is best 3" The kind is not important, bat thorough cultivation is and any crop that will pay for thorough cultivation, . cultivation so thorough as to secure the germination and killing ol all the buckwheat that comes up, is 3 good one to use to rid the ground oi this annoying growth.

 A NEW METHOD OF ADvERT1slNa.- A new advertising dodge has been in- vented in France, and I hope no one will try it with you before the French Courts have decided the question of legality. Of late a large number of bank-bills have been seen in circulation with slips of paper pasted on the back. At first it was supposed that the bill had been torn and mended, but as the same tbing was seen on new bills, 8 more careful examination was made. It was found that an enterprising tradesman had pasted his advertisements on the back of the currency of the realm, and taken this novel way of getting his busi- ness cards into circulation, A com plaint has been made to the Govern ment, and the question of right has to be decided. -.

IMMIGRANTS. During the quarter ending Sept. 30 the emigration from Liverpool was enormously increased over that of the preceding quarter. Ninety nine ships left that port for the United States during the three months carrying 30. 49l steerage passengers, and nearly 5000 in the cabins; seventeen ships left for Canada, carrying 5,6O7 emigrants: one left for Victoria, and two for South America, all carrying an aggregate of 50, ,e85. Of these 18,279 were English and 5,104 Irish. The remainder were swedes, Danes, and Germans, who had come from Scandinavian and German countries by way of Hull, in preference to shipping from Baltic ports by the German line of steamers.
