the striking miners will break camp before
the close of the week, and return to their

hence packers are not anxious buyers. A
curious feature of the trade to-day was the ex-
traordinary demand for the common and grassy
light sorts that have been almost unstable for a
fortnight past. There were five packing firms
that wanted skips and common light, so the
chances were that these sorts would be sold out,
and for once, at least the pens would be cleared.

REMEDY FOR HUMAN PASSIONS.


What Homeopathic Physician Proposes
to Do in Science.
A physician of the homeopathic school
at Lyons processes, seriously, to have
discovered a remedy for human passions
those moral diseases, such as envy,
hatred, malice, anger, jealousy, OBJ
stinacy, avarice, etc, which render so
many homes unhappy. On a pamphlet
to show chow homeopathy may improve
the character of man and develop his
intelligence" he gives some wonderful
instances of the cures alleged to have
been effected by his special treatment,
which he declares to be infallible.
In one case a suspicious, Jealous and
violent husband who had ill-treated his
wife for period of sixteen years was
cured, unconscously to himself, by n
few globules of nuX vomica dropped
quietly into his broth, and his wife was
soon delighted to hear him humming
some operate airs and addressing
her as ''cherie, INA poupoule," etc.
After a few days experience of
this regime the terrible Barthold
was transformed into the tenderest
of husbands BY skillful alienation
of other indictments rascally hus-
band was corrected of his inherent
faults and willful outbursts of anger.
A misery father, on being subjected to
few doses of calcarea carbonica. gave
his consent to his daughters marriage,
which he had previously resisted. By
the same medicine, varied in its prepa-
ration, young student, who was back
ward in mathematics, was enabled to
master the science without further
study. The calcarea carbonica, it will
be noticed, cured miser and Il dolt-.
both suffering from the tyranny of
sums and figures.
The Lyons physician has an antidote
for everything: Nux vomica for jeal-
ousy, sulphur for drunkenness, salicea
for obstinacy, arsenicum album for
malice and belladonna for imbecility.
Those patients who do not happen to be
laboring under these infirmities, and
for whom the remedies Just mentioned
might be prescribed for other ailments,
will probably protest against their use.
But unhappy partners, who believe in
the efficacy of this latest application OF
the science of homeopathy, may be
tempted to resort to it as a means OF
avoiding a divorce, and certain hus-
bands invoke its aid against their
mothers-in-law. - GaltgnGnis Mes

the opponents of cremation may object
to that method of disposing of the dead,
there can be no question but that in
cholera epidemics it is not only desirable,
but vitality important that such burning
of bodies as shall anticipate the dangers
of slow decomposition should be
adopted. From the moment of death
the dangers of infection become greater
