-" Let Whisky AlOne.e

Joe Brassell, who was recently living
at Coohesville, Tenn, delivered the fol-
lowing powerful temperance lecture
from the gallows: Gentleman and
ladies, will speak few words to you
if you will give me your attention? I am
here to-day, ard for what is it? For
murder. What were the causes OF it !?
They were whisky, hard seeking after
money, and association with drunken,
reckless boys; and there are hundreds
here to-day. I will give you some ad-
vice, boys: Let whisky alone. Above
all things, have nothing to do with whis-
ky. Take warning by this. It brought
me here in this fix, and you are all la
BILE to be put in this condition by fol-
lowing the same course. Young men,
take warning and be good to one anoth-
er. Go to meeting and keep the Sabbath
holy. Farewell to you all. Meet me
in heaven"

THE WORLDS DOCTORS.
The United States Has More Than Twice
as Many Medical Men TO the Square Rod
as ANY Other Country

Ine united States Has More Than Twice
as Many Medical Men to the Square Rod
as Any Other Country.
From the London Giobe1
From statistics that have recently
been published, it would seem that there
are many parts of the world presenting
greater scope than Britain for the medi-
cal profession, and very few presenting
less-if, at least, any opinion may be
formed by the simple process of putting
the numerical strength of the profession
in each country of the globe against it's
population. Here, in Great Britain, we
are told that we have something ap-
preaching 1880 doctors, which, with
population of about 80, 500, 900, would
give medical man Tor about 1850 peo-
pie. The German empire, with it's A.
100000 odd, has but Is, 800 doctors, or
one for 5000 inhabitants. At first sight,
therefore, itmight be thought that Ger
many is the place for good, large prac-
tices. Obviously, however, it would be
necessary to take into consideration the
normal condition of health among the
Germans. Austro- Hungary, it seems
has rather more than our population, and
considerably less than our number Of
medical men. It's population is nearly
36, 600, 900, and it has something under
Ia, 500 doctors, or one to every $500
people. The Celestial empire, unfort-
unately, does not figure in the list. It
would be very interesting to know how
many of the easy-going, simple-living
Chinese one doctor can suffice for, aided
by the signs of the zodiac and various
potent charms. Nor have we any facts
bearing on the Russian empire, where
it is to be feared of late that medical
and surgical skill have been at a
rather distressing premium. France
seems to be scarcely so we'll supplied
with medical strength as we are. The
population is something over 80, 000,-
600, and their medicos about 10000, OF
one for every 1900 or SO of their popu-
lation. But of all the countries on the
face of the earth of which we have
knowledge in these matters, the United
States would seem to be the most TEEN
ing with the disciples of Esculapius.
With population mastering some 45,
600, 900, the Yankees have no less than
1883 doctors, or one for 700 people.
This, it will be seen, is about two. and-a-
half times the relative strength of the
profession in France, and three-and-a-
half times that of the Austro- Hungarian
empire. Whether that country has an
oVer-supply, or whether the others are
wofully neglected in this matter, we
cannot say, but it would seem as though
one or the other alternative must be the
case

The Growing Crops.

The statistician of the Agricultural
Bureau at Washington has completed
his estimate of the condition and pros
poets of the crops for the next season.
The reports from 700 correspondents of
the bureau show that the area under
cultivation for cereals, which has in
creased 80 per cent. during the past ten
years, will, during the present season.
exceed in acreage any former year. The
winter-wheat crop, which amounts to
six-tenths of the total crop, will. from
present appearances and with favora
BILE season, yield $50, 900, 900 bushels.
The corn yield, it is thought, will not be
less than 1900, 600, 600 bushels.

Deciding q Bet.

In September, 1876, Samuel Leonard
made a wager with Gen. Davis, at Lib
ty, Ind, that Tilden would be elected.
The bet was made in this way: Leonard
was to sell Davis a wagon, valued at
$127, for IS ii Hayes should be elected,
and 1910 if Tilden should be elected.
Davis took the wagon, and deposited a
note for S., 900 with Henry Hustled, cash
Ter of the national bank, Hustled prom
Using to pay Leonard 1910 if Tilden was
elected. After the election Leonard
brought suit to recover the $120, claim
ing first that 1ilden was fairly elected,
and obtained judgment on the technical
ity that he was not present en- the day
when Davis deposited the note, and
was consequently not party to the con-
tract Davis will take an appeal to the
Indiana Supreme Court.

The Zuni Indians.

An Arizona correspondent writes
The Zuni Indians are located in New

the entrances being in the top story,
which they enter by means of ladders
which they take up after them at night,

from enemies without, and, 80 far as the
rude implements of war the Indians use
are concerned, are undoubtedly correct.

Rev. S. B. Taylor, pastor of the Meth
