by French lady, whom we may call
Madame Y, and who was in the habit of
consulting her physician, DIR. L, daily,
between the hours of two and thgee. The
doctor was a witty aud charming man, and
they talked of every subject under heaven.
One day, however, the doctor came and
was denied admittancc. lie thought there
must be some mistake, and ordered the
servant to announce him again. This time
the lady sent down very polite message,
informing the doctor that " she was grieved
beyond measure at being obliged to deny
herself the pleasure of his company, but
she ,eds uery ~ Doctors themselves,
however, have said the hardest things of
their craft. Radcliffe used to threaten his
brethren of the faculty that he would
leave the whole mystery of physic behind
him, written on a half sheet of paper"
The medical men of the day revenged
themselves for his contempt by denying HIT,
any knowledge of physic.
DIR. Radcliffe, by the way, had an ex-
tremely Objectionable habit, namely, that
of leaving his bills unsettled. In his days
each Londouer had to pave the street in
front of his own door-at all events, the
parish would not pave il for him. \ GER
tain pavior who had been employed by the
doctor, after long and fruitless attempts to
get paid, caught him just getting out of
his carriage at his own door in Bloomsbury
Square, and set upon him. Why, you
rascal" said Radcliffe, lido you pretend to
be paid for such piece Of work? Why,
covered it over with earth to hide your bad
work" Doctor" quoth the pavior,
"mine is not the only bad work that the
earth hides "You dog, you" said the
doctor; "are yea wit? You must then
be poor, so come i'm and he paid him.
Talleyrand, less good natured, TESTED with
his creditors and did pay them.
Avarice and a want of punctuality in
miser being in mortal dread Of writs o:
law courts; but Radcliffe is reported to
have been close listed as well as iuexact
in his accounts. Probably both the one
tendency and the other have been exagger-
ated by his detractors; but there is whim-
steal anecdote in reference to one of the
doctors supposed faiiings, which will bear
repetition. Attending an intimate friend
during n dangerous illness, he declared, in
an unusual strain of generosity, that he
would receive no fee.
At last, when the cure was complete, and
the physician was taking his leave, 81
have put every days fee, said the patient,
ain this purse, my dear doctor; nor must
your goodness get the better of my graft
tude.'' The doctor eyed the purse. count
ed the days of his attendance in moment,
and then, extending his hand by kind of
professional mechanical motion, replied
Well, can hold out no longer; single |
could have refused the guineas, but all
together they are irresistible"

and petition; and further, to urge upon
them, and through them upon the merchants,
traders and manufact urers, as speedily as may
be, TO place their affairs upon a gold basis In
whole or in part, and to advise from time TO
time the progress attained, together with such
further suggestions for individual action as
experiences may dictate.
Resolved, That it, shall be the duty of this
COMMITTEES TO meet as soon as may seem TO 1t
convenient, and to prepare measures which
shall be submitted to the financial institutions
of the several cities represented.
Resolved, That the committee is requested,
whenever it has matter to submit to the con-
stituent bodies for action, to invite sin1ultane-
Gus meetings in the different cities OF all the
institutions represented.
There is no mistaking the tone of these
resolutions. Their purpose is to unite the
banks OF the country solid against the will of
the people and against all measures of relief
1t has come to this at last that a conflict
exists between banks and people. 1t were
supreme folly to doubt the fact. The issues
are squarely and defiantly made. The banks
are consolidating. They have money and
will use it. Will the people back down?
We are confident that Indiana will not re-
cede an inch. The efforts of this bank or
ganization will be to solidify the people.
Relief is to come from some source or the
west will be sold out. If ruin is inevitable;
if Hayes is to veto every measure of relief;
if bankruptcy must come; il mortgages are
to be foreclosed if bankrupt courts are to
furnish the hearses that are to convey the
withered wrecks of western fortunes to pau
per cemeteries, and sheriff hammers are to
beat the funeral knells ofwestern enterprises
In obedience to the behests Of eastern banks,
or combination of the banks of the coun-
try, then in the name of all the
gods at once let us know II. But
we feel assured that Indiana will not recede
The people will stand by their interests like
brave men, and in the future, as in The past,
do all that honest men can do to save some
thing from the wreck, and still ask for legis-
lation that will afford relief. We do not be-
Heve that the present is the time to surren-
der all to eastern banks and insurance COM
panies. We do not believe that a few
capitalists in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia should run this government against
the will of the people. Values are shrinking
out of sight; business men are failing;
trust companies and savings banks are going
to the devil; and, while bondholders have
been growing rich and everybody else poor,
the time is not suspicious for capitalists to
apply the screws nor will the people stand
it any longer. The crisis is upon the coun-
try. 1t is banks VS.. bread. 1t is money
against the people. And though the right
may be cloven down by veto, or by the
treason of senators, the people will see to it
that when next they go to the polls repre-
sentatlves and senators are selected who will
tell the president that he can not use his
veto in the interest of banks and bondhold-
ers to deprive the people of their rights.

Uses of BuckWheat.
Tertiary.

Buckwheat is used for food for man and
domestic animals in various countries of
Europe. In some parts of the United States
it is extensively grown for fattening sheep
and swine, but it is generally used in this
country for buckwheat cakes during the rig
ors of the winter. Its fattening qualities are
superior to those of most other grains. 1t is
used in various ways in different parts of
Europe. The flour is commonly mixed with
that OF rye or wheat in most parts of the
continent of Europe by both public and pri-
vate bakers. In Saxony, Brandenburg and
Silesia buckwheat forms part or the whole
of all the three daily meals of the lower
class and at least two of the daily meals of
the wealthiest classes. The dish of boiled
buckwheat -four is the staple food of the
peasantry in various parts of Germany and
other countries Of Europe, and various
preparations of ii figure prominently on the
tables of the rich. Millions OF German and
Austrian peasants not only thrive upon it,
but are as healthy, handsome and vigorous
as any race in Europe.

of representatives on the silver bill is over
whelming and enthusiastically Endorsed. 1t
was legislation in the right direction. It
exhibits wisdom. craftsmanship and an
honorable triumph over party in an hour of
supreme peril and gloom. 1t Is designed to
lift the country from its business paralysis
by giving idle men employment, by setting
the wheels of machinery in motion, by re-
storing confidence and by inaugurating an
era of prosperity.
The action of the peoples representatives
on the resumption law is Endorsed with equal
enthusiasm and unanimity. To arrest
the cause of shrinksge is the purpose IN
view. As there is now too little currency in
the country the purpose is to stop contrac-
ton. 1t is quite probable that Hayes will
veto both OF these great measures of relief,
and that the will of the people will be again
reversed. The question is therefore forcibly
put: What will the people do about it?
We are satisfied that they will not recede:
that though cloven down by the veto battle
axe they will continue to agitate, to hold
mass meetings, express their will, and if de-
feated now, they will not be defeated when
next they are called upon to select public
servants

THE board OF inquiry, IN reciting the de-
spair and distrust with which the agents
have inspired the Indians, relates the follow
ing incident: A poor Indian had worked
long and faithfully for an agent, doing his
duties satisfactorily. But when he asked for
his wages he was ridiculed, his petition re-
iected and his claim ignored. When he at
last was told plainly that he would not re-
ceive farthing, be said: 81 have listened
to the missionary; but now if ever do any
more work, either myself or my teams,
hope the white mans God will send me to
the missionary's hell, and burn me up
there
