Under the above heading a cores
pendent of the Scientific American says
The monopoly to be feared by farmers is
the brains of other professions. While
the farmersnumber6 900, 600 in this coun.
try, there are only about Al, 900 lawyers,
yet one of our best writers on political
economy says that he can select one hun
dred lawyers, who exert more influence
in public affairs, than all the farmers put
together. The same is true to only a
slightly less degree of manufacturer and
transportation companies. Yes, they
have a monopoly of brains. Farmers
ourselves, we are sorry to confess it, but
confess it We must. Who control the
affairs OF nine tenths ofour country towns?
Usually the second-rate lawyers, other
professions and trades at the Center"
Yet, it they but awoke to it, tho farmers
too might do a little of the public think
ing. The first step in the uplifting of
this class to a place of power in society
is to place its men and women on the
same plane, Intellectually as the others.
In education is the farmers bulwark
against encroachments and usurpation of
power by the few over the many.

The Stage and the Pulpit.

Without entering any comparison with
other means for educating mankind to
a higher standard of morality, it is i'm
possible to deny that the theater is a
powerful lever for good or evil. The
tendency of the modern stage to melo-
drama, to ~buffeonery, to in~decency, can
not be too harshly condemned. Black
Crooks and Observation-Disclosures dramas,
with no moral, no idea, no sentiment,
but appealing only to the eye or TO the
more sensuous emotions, are productive
of as much harm as the most bitter OPP
ponent of the stage can denounce against
it. In this category may also be in
cluded that peculiar species of drama
known as the French school, wherein So
cial vices are depicted in attractive colors,
and the sympathy of the auditor is
aroused for the impure when clothed in
a false sentimentality. This may be
~candidly admitted without any reflection
upon the stage, or those who belong to
the actors profession. Vice, unfortu.
nately, is not confined ts any one class
or calling. The stage is no more respon-
sible for having loose characters upon it,
than is any other profession. No one
dreams of condemning a whole class of
persons because some fall by the wayside.
If so, then from the very city from which
DR.. Talmadge inveighs against the stage
would come the most fragrant attacks
upon his own sacred calling.

In the senate on the 9th, during

A Washington special says that a
number of officers of the late war have de-
termined to offer president Iglesias their
services. Al a conference yesterday one of
their number was deputed to wait upon
lglesias and formally tender him their ser.

Point, and was in the regular army when
the war broke out, and became one of the
principal cavalry officers of the confedera-
or. He will leave Immediately for ST. Louis,
where he hopes to meet the president and
his cabinet, and lay the scheme before them.

Mustard Plasters.

How many people are there who
really know how to make a mustard
plaster? Not one in a hundred at the
most, perhaps, and yet mustard plasters
are used in every family, and physicians
prescribe the applications. The ordinary
way is to mix the mustard with water,
tempering ii with a little -four, but such
a plaster as that makes it simply abem-
Unable. Before it has half done its work
it begins to blister the patient, and leaves
him finally with a painful fayed spot,
after having produced far less effect in a
beneficial way than was intended. Now
a mustard plaster should never make a
blister at all. If a blister is wanted,
there are other plasters far better than
mustard plaster, then, use no water, but
mix the mustard with a white of an egg,
and the result will be plaster which
will draw" perfectly, but will not pro-
duce a blister ever upon the skin of an
no matter how long it is allowed
TO remain on the part. For this we have
the word of an old and eminent physi-
clan, as well as u W experience

The prospects of American cotton
manu- facturers are brighter than ever they
were before. The Boston Advertiser states that
there are thousands Of bales on order books
that have not yet been started at the mills.
About a year ago Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of
'hat city, in an able paper on the subject,
calculated that the export of cotton goods
would reach fifteen millions and stop, and
this represented the annual surplus Of our
manufacturers The annual export has now
reached that figure. The annual export be-
fore the war did not exceed eleven mil
hons, and was confined then to standard
drills and sheetings; nov II includes all the
best styles Of our manufactures. The inabil'
