A CHARLATAN EXPosED.-It has for some
time been hirted that Rev. j. d. Fulton for
merly of fremont Temple Boston, but now of
New York, has been accustomed to appropriate
the ideas of other men and put them forth as his
own. Some two weeks ago Baptist Journal
quoted in double columns extracts from differ
ent sermons by Mr. Fulton upon the same
topic, in which the views expressed were diam
critically opposed, and the editor desired tc
know how the reverend gentleman could hon
estly think and preach so diversely. But the
Congregationalist of last week throws light
upon the subject by publishing little history
Some four wears ago the Rev Fulton, then pas
tor at fremont Temple, Published a book en-
titled "Woman as God made her," which wa
| designed to prove that woman was never de
| signed to be the equal of man, ETC. The only
| noticeable thing about the book was that il
contained some really excellent thoughts
which it is now discovered were stolen bodily
from Margaret Fuller Ossoli's woman in the
Nineteenth Century" published in 1855. Thu
Congregationakst publishes long array of ex
tracts proving about as gross case of plagia
| rism as has ever been exposed.

A GENTLEMAN who attended the recent
agricultural meetings in our State says that
there is growing feeling among many farm
ers In the granger interest to make war upon
what they term "middlemen.'' At the re-
cent meeting at Waterville several gentlemen
took ground in favor of farmers selling their
own produce directly to the consumer, or that
an agent of their own sell directly to those
who retail it in cities and elsewhere. The
theory is a good one and if all farmers were able
and organized it might possibly be done, yet
there is probability that in practice the
scheme generally applied would prove a
failure. On the other hand it must be admit
ted that the cost of fam products and indeed
all OF the necessaries of life is greatly en-
HANGED in consequence of the number of men
who handle them and must derive profit
sufficient for living thereffom. Again there
Is an army of spectators who have little to
do with getting farm products to market, but
by purchasing early and in such quantities as
to control the market are rather an obstacle
between the producer and consumer These
are scarcely mddlemen in the proper senseIand
it may not be polite to say just " hat relation
they bear to the public.
That there are too many middlemen, there
can be no doubt Every city and village is
crowded with them and from the farms they
flock cityward in crowds. Farmers are
aware of this fact and it is matter for con-
graduation that the Leading agriculturists at
their meetings in this State discuss plans to
prevent this exodus from the rural districts
and present arguments to show that the
farm has greater opportunities for money
making than the city. In this connection.
1t is well to recall the responsibility for this
immense army of middlemen. IF one ooes
into farming community, he will hear far
mers in the presence of their sons disparaging
the pursuit OF agriculture. 1t is this constant
teaching or rather complaining of fathers to
sons which sends the latter to the CITY in
crewd SAND is the cause of thousands of vacant
farms ia Maine to-day. Then this most ner-
nicous Fall nonsense that school commit
tees, doctors, lawyers and ministers, to saw
nothing OF teachers, recite to school children
on set occasions, is mischevous in the ex-
treme. How vast the army of bummers these
good people have recruited, how immense
the number of idlers, defauIters and small
politicians they have started in business by
declaring that a president of the United
States, governors of the States, members of
Congress, Astors and merchant princes were
undoubtedly in the schools they were then
addressing, will never be known.

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
The department of agriculture has prepared
for its monthly report, just ready, statement
giving all information attainabe in regard to
the transactions of the oranges. The result of
a cooperative scheme among the farmers for
the purchase of agricultural implements is quite
fully set forth. 1t appears from the reports
received that, in this character, the pur-
chases alone of the farmers of the West thus
associated were between $4,000, 900 and IS. OOO.-
600.
PAY OF GAUGERs.
The House appropriation bill reduces the sal
airy of gaugers from 81 to S. per day. In these
times of financial distress, when economy is
the order of the day, each should bear his por-
ton of reduced expenses. Yet gaugers are
here from Louisville and Cincinnati, button
boiling Congressman, and trying to prevent
the reduction instead of being at their post
earning their wages. How many competent
men would willingly accept the position at the
reduced rate of SIS per day.
A BIT OF GOSSIP.
The Washington letter of the Springfield Re-
publican says that there are good many gen.
tlemen here who watch the settlement of this
financial controversy with s'eepless vigilance.
Blaine, Conkling, Morton and others could
name are on the alert for the future. Logan
and Morton feel that they must make a point
in some direction, for Blaine has made several
of late. His western friends are claimir that
he set up the transportation committee and
carried its bill through the House. 1 suppose
this is literally true. The majority was only
fUe, and the influence of the Speak er determin-
ed dozen votes. Indeed, he could easily have
defeated the bill with votes from bis own State
but be did not care to- and by and by the
"grangers" will be reminded of this splendid
management of the Speaker"
1t further says that the Washington Board of
Public Works roughly critcise the Speaker for
having made so strong a Committee of Investi-
cation on the part of the House. s--

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs

WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and If taken before the lungs destroyed speedy

To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia owes his unrivaed success IN the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Scnenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is posed
mixes with the food and prevents ing. 1t assists
the digestion, by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and Pulmonic Syrup will
Ike gcod blood; then the lungs heal, and the patti
ent will surely get well il is taken to prevent

IT has come to light since the death of Sem
ator Sumner that President Lincoln offered
the Chief Jnsticeship of the supreme Court
to Senator Sumner before the appointment
of Mr.. Chase. Mr.. Sumner replied that
there was a time when this Office would
have been the realized dream of his youth,
but now it must not and cannot
be-" The reason Mr.. Sumner gave was
that the breach between the President and
Mr., Chase must be healed to save the Re
publican party intact to fulfill its mis-
SION. This decision was very creditable to
Senator Sumner, but the cause that led him
to make it does not place Judge Chase in a
very envable light, particularly when it is re-
membered that the destinlcs of a naticn striv-
ing for existence depended upon the unity of
the party which Mr.. Chase was ready to d.
vide if he was not pacified.
