Dr. Sydney calls the attention of the proies-
sion, in the Lancet, TO the value OF glycerine
as a remedy in flatulency, acidity of the stom'
sch, and pyrosis. He states that sometimes
he finds all of these gastric troubles combined,
but glycerine in nearly all cases rellves them.
In some cases, too, ii removes pain and vomit-
ing, probably like charcoal, by preventing the
formation of acrids which irritate delicate and
irritable stomachs. Glycerine does not pre-
vent the digestive action of pepsin and hydro
chloric acid; and hence, while it prevents the
formation of wind and acidity, probably by
checking fermentation, ii in no way hinders
digestion. He administers drachm to two
drachms either before, with, or Immediately
after food. 1t may be gwen in water, coffee,
tea or lemon and soda water. In tea and cof.
fee 1t may replace sugar, substance which
greatly favors flatulency, as, indeed, does tea
in many cases. In some cases cure does not
occur till the lapse of ten days or fortnight.

Our esteemed contemporary clearly means
to imply that Mr.. Thompson of Indiana is a

Shortly before o'clock the other afternoon
farmer from the vicinity of Hampstead APP
peared in front of the stock exchange and en-
tered into conversation with citizen who was
waiting at the door by asking:
THE convention in there breaks up at 3
O'clock don't It?'
YES, that's the hour" was the reply.
"Do you know Jay Gould when you see
him?"
ooh, yes"
as he in there's"
81 presume So"
"Well, l wish you'd point him on, to me
when he comes out"
The citizen promised to do this, and within
a few minutes he kept his word. The farmer
took square look at the railroad and tcle-
graph prince and then turned and asked:
"Are you dead sures"
"Oh, yes"
"Can't be no mistaken"
No"
"Well, it's about as I suspected. A few days
ago great big SLOUGH of fellow halted at my
gate and began measuring my ground with a
tape line, and squirting around IN the most
mysterious manner. | went out to see what
was up and after beating around tor awhile
he said he was Jay Gould. I'd heard and read
OF Gould, but didn't know what he looked
like"
ut must have been a fraud"
I'm sure OF that now; pumped around to
find out what he was up to, and he finally SAID
he wanted my place for an orphan asylum He
was going to build one as big as palace, and
take care of all the orphans in the country"
"And, of course, you treated HIM wells"
didn't l! Why, for three days he lived on
the fat of the land and slept in the parlOr bed
room! He was going to give me S25,0 900 for
my land, and the way we killed chickens and
turned out sweet cake for him made the old
woman sick. He finally jumped the house
and took my Sunday suit and a fiddle worth
SS"
II don't believe Gould would steal fiddle"
That's what thought, and so came over
10 have look at him. 1t wasn't Gould at ALL
but some base imposter.''
And YOU are so much outs"
"Wall, it looks that way, but the experience
Is worth something. 1t may not be a week
before some one else will come along with a
ten-fOot pole in his hand and a theological
seminary in his eye and claim to be Russell
Sage, and the way will knock him down and
step on him and walk over him and drive him

The CROPS.

The following statement of the con
dition of the corn, tobacco and ptoato
crops was issued last week by the De
partment of Agriculture:
CORN.
The crop of corn shows no increase
over that of last year, but rather slig hit
decline for the whole country. The
Atlantic States all show an increase, par
ticularly the states of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The
Gulf states suffered from drought in the
spring and too much rain in the sum-
mer, except the state of Texas, which
almost doubles her product. In the states
north of the Ohio river, Ohio and Michi-
Illinois decreased. West of the Missis-
sippi river Iowa alone increased her Weld.
On the Pacific slope California shows an
increase.
TOBACCO.
There was less land planted in tobacco
this year than last. The decrease was
principally in the states of Maryland
and Virginia. In Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin there was decided in
crease. Early in the season the weather
was not pr0pitiOus, but in August and
September it was very favorable. The
average yield per acre, as reported Nov.
/, is TAO lbs, against 795 lbs last year.
POTATOES.
The area planted in potatoes was this
year about equal to that planted in 1879.
but in the total crop there is quite de-
cline. The yield per acre reported this
year is an average of 81 bushels, against
SO in 1879 and SO in 1878. Only three
states-Texas, Arkansas and California
report an increase in yield. All the
others report decline, more or less. In
sect injuries are not of general COM
plant, but drought is almost universally
mentioned.

A SPECIAL telegram from Washington
to the Chicago Inter Ocean says, although
no appointment of Chief Signal Officer
has yet been made, it is announced upon
what seems to be excellent authority
that the selection of General Nelson A.
Miles for the place has been decided
upon, and will be gazetted without de-
lay. General Miles is Massachusetts,
man, and was clerk in a Boston store
when the war broke out. He promptly
enlisted and made a most brilliant
record, which won him such rapid pro-
motion that he had been made Major
General of volunteers before the rebel
lion was over. He was then appointed
to Colonelcy in the regular army, and
Brevet Brigadier General and Major
General for his gallant services during
the war, In 1869 he was put i'm COM
mand of the Fifth Infantry, which he
has held ever since, and has been out on
the plains fighting the Indians large
share of the time, until he has become
known as ''the Indian fighter" He mar
ried the daughter of Judge Sherman, of
Cleveland, sister of Don Cameron's wife,
and niece of General and Secretary
Sherman, so that he has had strong social
backing, as we'll as an enviable record
behind him. He is smart man, in the
best New England sense of that word,
and if he succeeds to the late General
Myers place, ought to make an efficient
and progressive head of the signal ser
vice. General Hazen also had very strong
backing for the position and for time
he had even chances with Miles, but the
latter won on the hOmestretch.
