While much has been written concerning the
use of "put up" medicines, the question 4
still an open one, and demands Of the people
Q careful consideration. The salient points
may be briefly stated, and answered as follows:
1st-Are the sick capable of determining their
real condition, the nature OF their malady.
and selecting the proper remedy or means OF
curef 2d-Can physician, no matter how
skillful, prepare q universal remedy. adapted
to the peculiar ailments OF large class OF
people, residing in different ATTITUDES, and
subject to various climatic in6uencesl In
answer to the first proposition, we would say,
diseases are named and known by certain
"signs" or symptoms, and. rs the mother does

Second proposition-Many physicians argue
that diseases are sectionally peculiar, and that
their treatment must therefore vary, and yet
quinine, morphine, podophyllin, and hundreds
of other remedies are prescribed in all countries
TO overcome certain conditions. Is it not, there

length been the object of special inves-
tigation at scientific hands. Il is found,
as most intelligent persons suspected,
that there are no medical properties in
the plant itself. The immensely rapid
growth requires an immense supply Of
moisture, and, hence, the plants make
wet ground dry by the sheer demand OF
the roots for moisture In 80 far as they

RETRIBUTIvE justice has overtaken q
clever thief in France, who for seven
years lived comfortably on the product
of his plumber. In 1871, bank-clerk
named Mouny, bearing a good charac-
ter, absconded with the proceeds of q
check for $40, 900. A girl known to be
intimate with him was arrested, but re-
leased for want of proof. All this time
he was concealed with friends in Paris,
to whom he gave $1,000 for their hos
pitality. After two months he went to
Geneva, where the girl met him. There
he procured forged certificate of mar
riage, under the name of Graf, and,
armed with this, the pair crossed the
uOuticI W ooFOJs OouSnSo PIcIty Coun
try house near Chambery, and lived
there quietly and unmolested till quite
lately, when the long-baffled police
found them out. Mouny was sentenced
to eight years. penal servitude, and the
girl to five years.
NEIGHBOR COUGH.
While passing by the old horse. trough
Iheard q hollow, hacking cough,
And, turning, met my neighbor Cough.
The wind was blowing raw and rough;
Said l, " Old fellow, rather tough?
All, yes" wheezed he, "'tis tough enough
He limped along perhaps block,
Then said: "Sharp pains aff1ict my hough
Would were by some sunny Tough;
Or managing the we'll yoked plough,
Or resting meath the rustling bOugh,
Lulled by the gently murmuring sough.
But vain are all those wishes, though"
Quoth he in accents sad and low;
Alas, fear my cake is doughp'
With pain heard my old friend through,
And which at last we babe adieu,
Ifelt his fears would soon prove true.

We learn from letter from E. Fl.
Cooper to Sheriff G. w. Phillips that
on last Wednesday Mr.. Gabriel Nc.
Daniel, living in the Fordsville pre-
cinc;, was killed by falling tree. We
give the particulars in Mr.. COOper's
own language: "Old uncle Gabriel
Mcdaniel was instantly killed by a
tree his head was smashed into jel.
ly, and both legs and one arm were
broken. He had Mr.. Ben Dunn en-
ployed in splitting rails somewhere on
the farm, for which he was to let him
have fat hog. Uncle Gabriel told
MIR Dunn that he would 60 to the
house and fix to kill the hog, and was
cutting tree in the lot where he had
his hogs and other stock. 1t is sup
posed that when the tree was about
ready 10 fall his stock came in the way
and he aimed to drive them off and

A Female Man.

On Monday morning of last week a
tramp, in attempting to board freight
train on the p. Il +. II. r. at Nelson
Creek Station, Muhlenburg county,
fell and got his right foot badly crush
ed and his left foot seriously bruised.
The tramp was picked up, and gave
his name as Frank Watson. He was
taken to Elizabethtown to the Farm
er's House, and DIR. Sam'l Tabb was
called in. and in examining the
wounds he became suspicious that the
patient was q woman, and so stated.
After n short time the truth was con-
fessed. She stated that her name was
Frances Watson, her age 16, she was
born in Lancaster, Louisiana, and had
a brother and sister in Toledo, Ohio.
She adopted the male attire to better
support herself, her faiher having been
killed in the army. She will soon re-
cover. aud says she will wear female
attire hereafter.
