The homGopathists OF Brooklyn have deter

to remain quiet and await the turning OF the
wheels of justice, which will accord them recogni
ton at the hands OF the officials OF the mu-
nicipal government They claim that they must
be up ana doing in defence OF their professional
skill as physicians, and that they must demand
their share OF the municipal Offices, which are
now monopozed by allopathic physicians. Act

cOmpanted by several influential patients,
who have been cured OF bodily ailments
by inhnitesimal doses, and certain prominent
cergymen, viii call upon President Jourdan and
the other commissioners OF Police to-day. They
Will make q statement of their case and present
formidable array OF statistics to substantate the

Several members OF the broken Tammany Ring
have taken long Journeys into foreign countries,
and have, doubtless, been enabled to enjoy the adj
vantage Of studying che institutions and manners
OF the people with whom they have come in con-
tact in the course OF their travels. 1t was rumored
yesterday In the United States District Attorneys
ONCE that not long since Tom Fields ex-Corpora
ton Counsel, exCommissiOner OF Parks and ex-
Assemblyman, found himself, not at Albany in his
Old political haunts but in the pleasant city OF
Brussels, In Belgium where there may be rings
but, II there they have not been formed on the
Tweed" pattern Tom, desiring to look like q
foreign gentleman, had allowed the nair to grow
as much as it could all over his face. Walking in
one OF the principal streets, the Rue de la Mon
tagne, he was somewhat surprised to see ex-
Governor Holman stroling along.
"Hallo, Governor. how do you dor" exclaimed
Tom.
Mr.. Holman, hearing himself thus Familiarity adj
dressed, turned round to see who 1t was that had
accosJed him. II really do not know you, sir"
observed Mr.. Holman.
"Not know me !" replied Tom, "Not know Tom

"Fleldsf Tom Fields Yes, OF course know you,"
said Mr.. Holman; "but you are 50 much changed
by that beard you are wearing BY the way,
Fields let me ask what are you doing in Brns:

brought Tom there, but the question was put for
the purpose OF showing little politeness and not
to embarrass the man with the beard all over his
face.)
'To tell you the truth Governor" said Tom tand
as he commenced the remark there was twinkle
In his eye), II have come to Brussels for the pur-
pose Of studying extradition law, and think this
the best and safest place can do 1t at.n
With this observation the interview closed and
Tom went his way, rejoicing no doubt that there
is no extradition treaty between Belgium and the
United States.

unsuccessful. Meanwhile clairvoy-

consulted, directed party to search
in or around q swamp or marsh, for

The latest luxury, says q London
paper, is caves. "In order to estab-
lish a reputation for wealth now-a-
days, it is necessary to be the owner
of a cave. A mansion is all very
we'll, but the possession of cave i'm
mediately stamps the owner as q per-
son of Importance. The caves at
Brighton are in the cliff, and ap-
preached only from the shore. Cost
ly, magnificent pianos, settees, gas,
furniture, books, and knick-nacks
bring their aid to make the caves in
to delightful smoking OF drawing
rooms; and being admitted to this
costiness and glitter straight from the
melancholy beach at night, brings up
recollections of many an Arabian
Nights entertainment. And no mean
hospitality is exercised in them. The
man who does possess a Brighton
cave is as much sought after as the
happy owner of Thames villa on
Sundays in the season, and it is said
that the reversion of such properties
is eagerly demanded"

WHEN TO SELL WHEAT.

When to sell the crop of wheat is,
perhaps, more difficult to decide than
"hen to thresh. We have known
farmers who, for a series Of yea q,
were obliged to sell their wheat as
soon as possible after harvest to meet
debts, and again others who were
able to hold for the highest prices,
and we were satisfied, from years of
observation, that those who we're COM
PEELED to sell early, realized, taking
one year with another, the highest
priCts for their grain. We noticed
that when from any cause whatever
there was a sudden rise in wheat,
they who were able to hold were re-
solved not to sell till it had reached
the top price, and frequently, just be-
fore it reached that price, it suddenly
fell far below the point from which it
started on its spasmodic advance.
If farmers could always know with
some accuracy just the amount Of old
grain and -four left over, and the true
condition Of the crops all over the
world, so they might be able to judge
OF the ratio Of supply to demand,
they would be prepared to decide
whether the early market is what it
ought to be or not; but 90 long as
there are grain speculators all over
the world trying to bear the market
by exaggerated statements of the
amount of the old crop left over in
the great centers of the world, and
with over-estimates of the ney crop,
they are without reliable guido.
There was a time when specalate4
were able to subsidize almost the On.
tire press, and procure such crop
statements as should suit their ova
interests and mislead the farmers, but
the time for that, we trust, is rapidly
passing by, and the time rapidly
approaching when the intelligent
farmer shall be quite as well inform
ed upon the prospective condition Of
crops and markets as any other class.
When the farmer shall have become
thoroughly informed upon all Ques-
tlons liable to affect the prices be
will be great deal better prepared
to decide when to sell his crops than
he has been or is now. Perhaps We
may lay it down as a general rule.
that when the last years crop has
been generally short one, and the
present one is abundant the early
market is best; but when the last one
was abundant, and the current one i>
short, the later market will be higher.
We have generally done quite as we'll
to thresh and prepare our grain 70,
market as soon as We conveniently
could, and when prepared, to sell it,
and we do not know that We can give
any better advice to othars.-Amert-
can RuraI Home.

The United States Signal Bureau
is perfecting its organization. A.
rangements are made with different
European meteorologists for a grand
international system of reports, the
benefit of which will speedily accrue
to American seamen in any part Of
the world. Since the 1st of January,
in all the principal European nations,
observations have been taken each
morning at the same moment Of time
that has been selected for the regular
signal stations in this country, and
these are forwarded by mail semi
monthly to the Signal Office in WASH
ington for discussion, in connection
with the regular reports Of this coun-
try. Nearly 200 foreign stations are
now engaged in this work, and sufi-
cient data will soon be collected for the
deduction of general laws in relation
to the movements of the atmosphere

There is but little incident in a
New England village Of the Deerfeld
style snd size,-full Of commonplace
people, who live commonplace lives,
IN the same white and brown and red
houses they were born in, and die re-
specially in their beds, and are quiet
ly buried among tho mulleins and
dewberry-vines in the hillside grave
yard. Mary Scranton's life and death,
though they possessed the elements of
q tragedy, were divested of their trag-
lc interest by this calm and pensive
New England atmosphere. Nothing
so romantic had happened there for
many years, or did occur again for
more; yet nobody knew a romance
had come and gone. People in Deer
field lived their lives with view to
this world and the next, after the old
Puritanic fashion somewhat modified,
and so preserved the equilibrium. No
special beauty of the town attracted
summer-visitors. It was village of
one street, intended to be straight,
crossing decorous brook that turned
the mill, and parting itself just below
the church and the "store," to accom-
modate small "green," where the
geese waddled, hissed, and nibbled
Mayweed all summer, and the boys
played ball sometimes after school.
There was a post-o&ce in the 'sstore,''
beside boots, sugar. hams, tape, rake
tails, ploughs, St. Croix molasses,
lemons, cheese, -four, straw hats, can.
dies, lamp-oil, crackers, and rum,-a
good assortment of needles and thread
a shelf of school-books, q seed-drawer
tinware strung from the ceiling, apples
in barrel, coffee mills and broomS
in the windows, and hanging over the
counter, framed and glazed, the fol.
lowing remarkable placard, copied out

Nothing happened in Deer6eld ; so

She earned her living now at tailor

was much "laid up with rheumatic"
and could not go about as was her
wont. Also, the art and mystery of
housekeeping became familiar to the
child, and economy Of the domestic
sort was virtue she learned uncon-
sciously BY continued practice. She
went to church on Sundays in clean
calico fock and . white cape, sat in
the singers seat and uplifed her voice
in Lenox and Near, Wells and Be-
| thesda, shared her fennel with the
children in the gallery, looked out the
text in her Bible, and always thought

pleasures of a literary calling, that
you are not obliged to take people as
they are, but can make them to order,

describe luxuriant curls and celestial
eyes and roseate lips than it does to
set forth much less lovely things; but
when it comes to stubborn facts, why,

world, and proceed accordingly,-so
! must say 'Tenty WAS not handsome.

brown eyes, hair to match the eyes, a
nose undeniably pug. a full, wide
mouth, and strong, white teeth.-for-

deal. Then she had dumpy figure,
and good large hands, feet, and look Of
downright honesty and good-temper,
and nice, clear voice in speech or
singing, though she only sang hymns.
But for all this. everybody in Deer.
field liked 'Tenty scran'; old and

kindly welcome for her; and though
Aunt Why did not say much, she
felt the more.
