REV. EDWARD EGGLESTON has caustic
article in Scrlbner's Magazine in which he
exposes some humbuggery by which igno-
rant or crafty impostors delude the public
In one instance a man who had thorough
education in medicine, concealed the fact,
and practiced as an Indian doctor because
he knew that as the latter he would attract
a much larger number Of patients. A skill
full surgical operation obliged him to con-
fess his ruse. He also exposes some of the
quack medicines for which people spend
their hard earned money, not unfrequently
to their bodily injury, mentioning particu-
larly mixtures whose principal ingredient is
poor whisky and the popular patent pills
which cannot be taken with safety, some OF
which contain a globule of croton oil, q
most dangerous poison, which is used by
regular practitioners when all other cathar-
tics fail to act upon the system. Mr.. Egg
gleston urges the necessity of physiological
teaching, and attributes the tendency to
superstition in medicine to the singular
ineficiency of our school systems"

From the Chicago Enterprise.
The factis the small farmer-the one of
a-few hundred acres or less-in the matter
gof wheat culture-is placed at a great dis
advantage. He is brought in competition
with the superior advantages of the one who
cultivates from 5000 to 100, 900 acres, and
who can produce wheat at less than one
half the cost to himself. He should see the
folly of, attempting to maintain such an
equality, and should set his wits at work de-
vising other and more profitable uses for
his land. But, it may be asked, what else
can-the farmer do? The answer might
seem to be, in the light of the present
9 glutted wheat market, almost anything else
than wheat. 1t is question for each farm
'er' to determine for himself Is wheat the
only thing the world needs, or that our rich
grain lands are suited for? Why not try
lutte, flax, hemp, beans, buckwheat, mus
tard, canary seed, opium and silk culture,
sunfiowers, peppermint castor beans, vine
and nut growing, orcharding, forest culture,
stock raising, dairying, poultry, mush-
roonis, ANYTHING and everything that gives
promise Of success.

The City of Mexico a Coming Resort.

In 1883 the nobby thing for our fashion
ables to do will be to take trip to the city
Of Mexico and wander through the marble
halls of the palace of the Montezumas.
The Mexican capital is the most beautiful,
as well as one of the most delightful cities
in the world, and will, undoubtedly, become
q place of resort for Americans, in both
summer and winter, the climate being
simply delicious the year round. The time
of the trip will, we suspect, be something

President Hayes Savings.

From the Cleveland Herald.
The whole truth concerning the alleged saw
ings of ex-President Hayes from his salary, can
be told in q few words. The aggregate of that
salary for the four years, was 5000, 900. The
expenses of the position during that time were
$134, ,OOO Had Congress refunded the $4,-
600 he paid for the expenses of the visiting
statesmen to Louisiana, his savings would have
been about $40, ,OOO. As it is, he went out of
Office with $66 900 to be carried from his &C.
count as president to the benefit of his account
as private citizen. When he became president
he was burdened with debts to the amount of
10000 mostly on account of bequests
charged upon the Burchard estate. Of this
amount he has paid 800, 900 out Of his saw
lngs from the presidential salary, so that the
net available result in cash as his presidential
term is S. 900
