OUR PHYSICIANS.


AN E.scULAPTO US SAYS Il WORD.
10 the Hditor Of the ArorristOmn oa1ettss E
/ want to make one suggestion
through your columns: ~s~v
THE LABoRER Is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.
This principle Of ethics and right
between man and man is older, far
older than the inspired book which
gives it utterance with divine sane
tion. It is as old as the race Of man ;
it is ingrained into his very being.
part and parcel of himself. Why it
is that the law of the land. and TO a
great extent, the public sentiment of
the community, should find in the
medical profession an exception to
the operation Of this great natural
law of labor and reward. is not easily
explainable upon any principle OF
equity or Justice. Under the exist
ing statute law of Tennessee, certain
privileged classes are protected in
the assertion of their just claims for
remuneration, whilst the poor Doctor
is left at the mercy Of his debtor,
who may pay or not. as his caprice
may lead him. The grocer may fur
nish his goods. and the mechanic his
labor, or either may refuse at his oP-
tion but woe be to the poor, starving
Doctor, if he refuse to render his SER
vice, by day or by night. in sunshine
or in storm, in summers sweitering
heat or the winters chilling blast.
The grocer furnishes the bon-bons
and sWeet-meats for the Christmas
dinner which unhinges the vital ma
chinery, and then summons the debt
or. to render at the bar of Justice the
uttermost farthing; the poor Doc
tor watches through the weary hours
of midnight, disgorging the over.
loaded stomach and restoring the
debtor to health, but, to find, when
his labor is done, the gates of Justice
barred against him. The mechanic
repairs the Doctors dwelling, and
turns his wife and little ones, house
less and homeless, into the world, for
his pay the Doctor, by his self-sac-
riicing care and labor, snatches the
mechanic from the jaws ofdeath, and
then, with hat in hand. obsequiously
pleads for pittance to feed his fam
ishing household. Such is justice in
the noble old State of Tennessee |!
Strange enough, under the panoply
of Wisdom, Justice and Modera.
tion," the only means by which the
poor Doctor can insure his payment
out of the goods of his patient is by
making sure that he dies II For, in
the latter event, his claim takes pre-
cedence, whilst if his conscience, his
self-respect, his humanity, lead him
to diligent and successful endeavors,
he is requited with the cold shoulder
of the law. We know that an effort
in our last Legislature was attempted
to secure a small crumb of Justice
for our patient, long-suffering, little
complaining and much.abused pro-
fession, but without success. We
sincerely trust that the little crumb
may be granted at our next Legisia-
ture. Will you assist us in impress-
ing this upon the minds of our next
Legislators?
Respectfully,
Your friend and humble
Doctor.

ADVENTUROUS VOYAGE.
Shooting the ST. Lawrence
i.gl. RanidS hY Raft.

A gentleman writing 60 the New
York Tribune satsi Il had the novel
and exciting pleasure last Monday
of shooting the farfamed Coteau and
Cascade rapids ON dram Of timber.
Three venturesome youths compos-
ed the party and left Coteau Village
at a. m. and fioated idly down the
stream. As we gradually neared
the rapids each dram shot quickly
forward and started off on its own
account, and by the time we entered
the rapids we were widely separated
from our other companions. Each
dram is manned by seven men in
front and seven men behind, who
WELD pounderous oars, the mere
lifting of which by the majority of
your readers in the middle and by
the motion of his hand instructs his
men which way to bend their efforts
in order to clear the many islands
that lie directly in their path. A.
wreck on one of these islands is of
frequent occurrence. As we enter
ed the fiercest part of the rapids we
perched ourselves upon the top of
log cabin. whence we could view the
dangers around us with unchilIed
hearts and dry clothes. On app
preaching the rapids tie sight is
really q g;and one; the foaming.
kissing pillows come marching along
and look as though they would
swallow US up, but the raf5 proudly
mounts their crested tops. Then
there is twisting and breaking of
withes and a floundering Of timber
and it seems as though a gigantic
struggle for the mastery was going
on. When the raft energies from
its battle q few pieces of timber and
a number of slaves are missing.
The excitement of the passage was
intense, and had we not felt assur.
ed of our safety we would have
wished ourselves back at the village
playing croquet with the ladies.
While making the plunge the oars
men in front were up to their necks
in water, and were hanging on their
oars with one hand and to a withe
with the other. Once the pilot had
to order them to the center of the
dram, as he saw great dive inevita-
BILE. The thousands of tourists
from all parts of the globe who
annually shoot these rapids little
imagine how the grandeur of the
scene would be magnifed and the
intensity of the excitement increas-
ed were they on raft instead of a
steamboat.

STAY AT HOMEI
What Dissatisfied East Tennes-
seeans May Expect If They
Go West.

We were shown a few days ago a
letter addressed to citizen of this
place by very intelligent and relia-
BILE Tennesseean, now living near
Los Angeles. California, which gives
anything but an encouraging account
of the moderd Eldorado. The coun-
try around Los angeles is called the
garden spot of California, and it has
been especially recommended to em.
igrants as possessing all the advan.
tages Of soil, climate. society. etc.,
that the most exacting could require.
The writer Of the letter referred to
comedies that during the spring sea-
son the country is beautiful and well
calculated TO charm a stranger, but
he insists that the fall and winter
months would dishearten any person
accustomed to the uniformly fine cIi-
mate of Tennessee. He thinks that
California is no place for poor men,
and advises all such to remain in
Tennessee, if they have any oppor-
tunities whatever for making a liv-
ing. Improved lands near the cities
sell from $3.50 to $4,000 per acre.
and unimproved tracts in the coun-
try from $50 to $3.50. The water
facilities are miserable and this dis
advantage is serious to such an ex-
tent that numbers Of farmers have
left the country solely on account of
it. Drinking privileges sell from
two to four dollars per month. and
irrigating privileges frequently bring
as high as two dollars for twelve,
hours. House rent Is high and ordi
nary tenements command 925 per
month. Fuel is scarce and expen-
sive. Wood sells from So to $i8
per cord. and coal at 1.25 per bush
ei. The cost of living Is proportion
ately high, and. to a man of moder.
ate means. the returns from his la
Dor are meagre and inadequate to
