Gently investigated the properties
of the common mullen. This
plant has long been used in Ireland
as a domestictic remedy for con-
sumptive cough, and DR., Quinlan
has made a series of experiments
with view TO determine if it really
possesses the valuable propities at
tributed to it. He finds that when
boiled in milk the patient takes the
decoction readily, and experiences
a physiological want when it is
omitted. Its power of checking
phthisical looseness of the bowels
and the relief afforded to coughing
were very marked, so that the pa
tient took hardly any other cough
mixture. In early stages it appears
to have a distinct power Of increas-
ing weight, but in advanced cases
DR.. Quinlan remarks that he is not
aware of anything that will do this
except koumiss. This is no new
discovery, as the medicine Man"
of the Cherokee Indians used a
similar remedy more than fifty years
ago. DR.. Walter A. Taylor, of At

VERY justly comments the

while we rejoice with others in the
completion of the North Pacific,
and give all merited praise to Mr..
Willard, we cannot forget that
while the government has been
extremely liberal in giving to all
railroads large grants as an induce
ment to further the enterprise, it
has been extremely negligent in
appropriating sums for aiding the
improvements of river and harbors.
The Northern Pacific has re-
ceived the equivalent of millions
In the construction of its road
bed, and the Columbia river by
the urgent request Of our rep
resentatives has only receiv-
ed few hundred thousand.
The water courses and har-
bors OF a country are as i'm
portant, in a commercial sense, as
lines of railway, and should re-
ceive equal encouragement. 1t is
true the subsidies to railroads are
not in money, but the land in this
growing country, fast settling with
an industrious population, repre-
sent value, and should be guarded
with as great care by the govern
ment as the coin in its treasury.
We have not forgotten the howl set
up by the eastern press over the
river and harbor bill, and that
the secretary of war had to present
a "black" list, which be considered
should receive no appropriations.

Result Of the Conference =.

THE railroad manager at their
San Francisco meeting last
Wednesday practically closed
their labors by adoption Of an
agreement, the substance Of which
is as follows. Portland and San
Francisco are 10 be common points,
taking the same rates TO and from
the east. The Northern Pacific is
to make the same through rates to
San Francisco via Portland that
other roads make to San Francisco
direct, and the latter are to make
the same through rates TO Portland
via San Francisco that the North
ern Pacific makes to Portland di-
rect. All lines are to maintain
the present regular rates, except
as notifications may hereafter be
mutually agreed upon. A COM
missioner is to be appointed en-
powered to settle all disputed
points and enforce a penalty on
any company violating this agree
ment. The Northern Pacific is
given some advantage north OF
the California state line to points
other than Portland and Astoria,
and other lines are given corre-
spending advantages 20 points in
California other than San Fran
cisco. The agreement goes into
effect the lst of next month, and
expires by limitation December
81, 1884, but Is terminable at any
time on ninety days notice from
any of the companies. No com
missioner was selected, but an ap-
pointment will be made as soon as
possible. 1t is the opinion of
railroad managers outside of North
ern Pacific representatives, that
the practical working of the ar
rangement will be to confne the
Northern Pacific to its own terri
tory, as that railroad cannot afford
TO pay water freights between
Portland and San Francisco, which,
under the agreement, it will be
obliged to do, and in addition
break bulk at Portland IL they
seek to divert business to and
from California.
The Chronicle, in an editorial
drawing attention to the exorb-
liant local rates established by the
Northern Pacific, says: "What
Willard designs to do for Califor-
MIA has also become apparent
by his offer to the Central
Pacific to pool the rates on
through freight, he taking the
lions share of the business, while
consenting that they shall remain
at their present high figures. He
offers no hope of relief il matters
are to be settled on that basis, and
must not expect any sympathy in
California on account of his Wall
street troubles. Unless the North
ern Pacific can see its way to
independent action, looking to the
relief of the whole Pacific coast,
let Gould and Huntington have
the road, and so compass under
the weight Of so monstrous a mo-
nopoly their own destruction.

Origin of POPULAR Phrases.

| Written by the Globe-D mocrat.
Be sure you are right, then go ahead.
| This very excellent advice forms the
second line of a motto of a book pub
lished by the famous backwoods con-
gresham, Davy Crockett, in which he
strongly advocated the old National
bank. The couplet runs

The book and his frank speeches, how

settlers in Texas made an appeal for
help, he went there in command of
company of Tennessee ri1emen, and
was killed while CALAMITY fighting at San
Antonio de Bexar, in March, 1886.
John Bull.-The following is an addi-
tional version of the origiz of the term
''John BULL" DIR. John Bull was the first
Gresham professor of music, and organ
| ist and composer to Queen Elizabeth.
John, like a true Englishman, travelled
| for Improvement; and having beard Of
| a famous musician at st. Omer5, he
placed himself under him as a novice.
| But a circumstance soon convinced the
master that he was inferior to the schol-
ar. The musician showed John song
which he had composed in forty parts,
| telling him at the same time that he de-
| fed all the world to produce a person
capable of adding another part to his
composition. Bull desired to be left
with pen and ink. In less than three
hours he added Forty parts more to the
song, upon which the Frenchman was
so surprised that he swore, in great &C.
stacy, be must be either the devil or
John Bull; which has ever since been
proverblal in England.

The disease known as plnk-eYe, or IN

among cattle, and has very much the
same symptoms; beginning with a
copio's weeping from the eyes, the dis
charge being mixed with pus from the
inhamed membranes. The whole of the
head is affected by general catarrh, the
cows suffer generally from the fever and
fall off in milk. In course of time the
interior membranes of the eye become
clouded with pus and the eye turns
white, when blindness follows 1t is

not frequent disease among COWS, but
appears chiefly where they are lodged
in b ,sement stables, or are pastured on
rich undrained soil, or in the fall,
when there are sudden changes oil
weather or temperature. The treatment
should consist of vigorous purging OF ep-
som salts, two pounds given at once;
after that lalf-ounce doses of chlorate OF
potash should be given daily. The eyes
should be bathed in warm water
and cleansed and two or three
grains "a iull plnCn) OF DuTHeu alum

EarlY MarriageS.

To those who believe in early mar
riages, as we do, the following story, ia
ken from Notes and Queries, will prove
of interest; Lady Sarah Cadogan, daugh
Ter of William, first Earl Cadogan, was
married at the age of - to Charles, sec
ond Duke Of Rjchmc nd, aged Is. 1t is
said that this marriage was a bargain to
cancel gambling debt between their
parents. Lady Sarah being a co'heiress.
The young Lord March was brought
home from college, and the little lady
from her nursery, for the ceremony,
which took place at The Hague. The
bride was amazed and silent, but the
husband exclaimed: Surely YOU are
not going to marry me to that dowdy?'
Married, however he was, and his tutor
then took him off to the Continent, and
the bride went back to her mother.
Three years after, Lord March returned
from his travels, but having such dsa-
greeable recollection o. his wife, was IN
no hurry to join her, and went the first
evening to the theatre. There he saw a
lady 80 beautiful that lie asked who she
was. "The reigning toast, Lady March,
was the answer he got" lie FASTENED
to claim her, and their lifelong affection
for each other is much commented on
by contemporaneous writers; indeed, it
was said that the Duchess, who only sur
yived him year, died of grief. An
other correspondent writes: "A youth
full wedding recently took place not 100
miles from this parish (Deeping, st.
james, the united ages of the couple
being 35-the bridegroom q, and the
bride IA. 1t was somewhat of novelty
TO observe the interesting bride, the fol-
lowing day, exhibiting her skill on the
skipping rope on tue pavement in the
3treet."
