PLEA ron THE STUDY OF ANATOMY TO THE
EXCLUSION OF UNWORTHY PHYSICIANS.
NEW YORK, May Is, 1878.
To THE EDITOR or THE HEKALD-
am glad TO that you hhvc taken up the question
OF the ignorance Of many OF so-cailcd doctors.
You ask how many there are as densely Ignorant as
the who appeared recently at tho Vosbursh trial,
but who havo not yot been found out. l am afraid
that If truthful answer is gwen to that question
II will be hundreds. My acquaintance among doctors
is somewhat extensive one, and could name dozens
whose mental attainmcnts would barely lt

the ms elves from falling into tho hands OF such men
Tho New Jersey gentleman, appears, rs graduate
OF two universities IL seems, therefore, that a
diploma is no guarani co that tho owner OF II may not
be n profound Ignoramus. rno only way which
people can avoid tho attentions OF these gentlemen
and themselves from experiencing .thc deadly
virtues OF tho healing art,n is by learning some
tning OF tho constitution Of their own bvdies
and the nature OF disease. Young men will
spend years Of their lives ana thousands OF
collars 10 obtaining smuitcring OF tho dead
languages, but II not give one moment TO the study
OF their own bodies. WDen will people learn that

Reeeher Appears at Home.

The New York Sun tells how Henry
Ward Beecher was received on his first
Sunday after his return: An immense
congregation visited Mr.. Beecher on his
first public appearance yesterday after
his return from California. Every
thing in the church looked new, the
carpets were fresh from the warehouse,
the pews were redolent with oil and
varnish, and Assistant Pastor Halli-
days clothes seemed never to have been
worn before. The platform was almost
hidden beneath its load of rare flowers,
to satisfy the liberal tastes of Mr.. Hal
liday,. for Just before Mr.. Beecher ap-
peared he carried up another large vase
of roses, lilies, and .creepers, and placed
it upon the little Mount of Olives" Ia
BILE. Mr.. Beecher entered hastily, and as
he stepped upon the platform q murmur
of interest and pleasure ran through the
great throng; but the pastor was un-
moved. He may have been a little
fatter, and his clothes were decidedly
shabbier than when he started for Cal.
ifornia; in any other particular it would
have required an exceedingly close OBJ
server to discover the slightest change
in his appearance. Mr.. Camp, the
leader of the choir, waved his hand
and the whole congregation arose ano
sang the doxologv, the words Praise
God from whom all blessings flow
ringing through the church. Mr.
Beecher sat seemingly undisturbed
His face bore stern and thoughtful ex
preston, but the extraordinary warmth
of his reception did not seem to affec
him in the least.

COOPERATIVE FARMING,

A number of years ago Mr.. Brand,
the Speaker of the British House of
Commons, announced his intention of
taking his laborers into partnership in
the profits of his extensive farm. He
estimated that for five years at least he
had been making considerable money,
and he had an honest desire to admit
the men whom he employed into a share
of the profits. Other gentleman farmers
were amused at his proposition, not that
they distrusted the sincerity Of his pur-
pose, but that, judging from their own
experience, they did not believe that
Mr.. Brand was actually making profit
Some items of the expenditure, must,
they claim, have been overlooked, and
the laborers, if they accepted Mr.
Brands offer, would not be helped by it
He, however, persisted in his purpose
and the experiment has been tried. His
estate was SO situated as to offer the
most favorable conditions. 1t was only
an hour or two distant from London
and it comprised six hundred anc
seventy acres. Of these, one fourth wa
down land in its natural state, another
fourth light land under tillage ON th,
slope of the downs, and the remainins
half strong grass land, with the excep
tion of about sixty acres that have bee1
under tillage from twenty to thirt,
years. Here was every variety of farm
ing. Nothing more could have beel
asked for the success of the experiment
And yet Mr.. Brand, after five years o
cooperative farming under these favor
able conditions, is obliged to admit tina
the trial has been a failure, and ther
has been absolutely no profit. Th
sixty acres of heavy land are largel
responsible for this dismal exhibit. !
was always too dry or too wet for then
and an annual loss was the result, whic
had to be deducted from the profits q
the rest of the farm, often carrying tn
balance over to the wrong side of th
ledger. His conclusion is that it is bette
to let these unproductive acres of tillae
return to the pasture they were thirt
years ago; and although he regrets I
deprive his laborers of the employmer
given by this amount of tillage, he re,
sons that what is best for the landlor
is ultimately best for everybody undt
him.

Singular Disturbing Element In Do.
ntestie Circle.

A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
of October L says: A few days ago while
Mrs. Michael Metzler, living in Akron,
Ohio, was husking corn in a field, she was
struck By several stones, which came from
an Unknown sourte. Later in the day her
children were struck in the same way, and
fled in terror to the house. On Wednesday
evening, while Mrs. Metzler was again in
the field, she was again struck BY large
Jumps ofearth aud several stones in SINH
lar manner as before. Yesterday morning,
as Mrs Metzler and her little daughter were
standing before their cellar door, a large
pebble came up frcm the cellar, striki ing
the little girl in the face
aEaa1erT Brown, Catholic priest Of this
city, was present, and about ten O'Clock
offered prayer. Hardly had he finished,
however, before two large stones fell at his
feet, followed by dozen or more pebbles,
which came from the ceiling and walls,
striking the persons who were in the room.
A Commercial reporter with companion
went to the house to-day, and upon entering
the brick building were given chairs near
the door, where an excellent view of the
room could be obtained. Mrs. MetzIer with
tears in her eyes declared it was not shostk
or anything of the kind, and said it must be
curse on the family. As she spokeshe
was standing in the middle Of the room, and
had po1nted out 10 the reporter. from
whence the stones came, when .suddea7v a
pebble the size of a hickory nut dropped
from the ceiling and fell, striking Mrs.
Metzler on the arm. The reporter witnessed
all this, and picked up the stone as it fell.
Soon after this neighbor came to the
front door and inquired if anything more
had transpired. The reporter walked to
the door, and was showing the stone which
had just fell to the neighbor, when sud
denly larger pebble, four times the size Of
the first one, struck the REPORTER On the
shoulder and fell to the floor. His com
panion saw the stone come through the cell
ing about yard from where the other one
had come from.
Mrs. Metzler stated to the reporter thai
at night the stones fell with a whistlins
noise. She showed to the reporter abou
twenty stones that had fallen during tn,
forenoon.

The name Plantagenet, which fourteen
succeeding sovereigus of England were
known by, was first bestowed as term
of reproach on their ancestor, Fulke
Martel, Earl of Anjou, in the tenth CEN
tury, because he contrived the murder
of his nephew, in order to succeed to
his possessions. In atonement for that
offense, his confessor sent him on pill
grimage to Jerusalem, attended by two
servants; one of them was to lead him
by a halter to the holy sepulcber, the
other to strip and whip him there
