The Great DIR. Abernethy.

May the heavens be your bed Long

man who had been brought in with

had been ordered. But ybernethy
thought he could cure it, stopped the
amputation, and put the man under
constitutional treatment. The result
was a perfect cure. and an eestacy OF
thankfulness on the part of poor Pat.
The opportunity was seized by Aberne-
thy for giving a clinical lecture, every
point ofwhieh was illustrated by Pats
emphatic ''Thrue, yer Honnor; divvil
a lie in it" Every reference TO the.ieg
brought out the member with a -four
ish from under the nedclothes; and
TIE whole affair. was most .eomlcai-.
But while everybody was laughing at
the Irishman on his knees before the
great surgeon, Abernethy WIS compos-
ed. Bending down over tie man he
said with much esrnestness: 81 am
glad your leg is doing well, but never
kneel except to your Maker AS SO
often happens, Aberneshy preached
better than he praeticed; that is TO
say, he did not always adopt thegood
advice he gave to his patients. AT
though SO particular always in his
dietetic prescriptions tor others, at IS
suspected that he was rather an I'M,
moderate eater himself.

Commissioner Sparks and Women Bomesteaders.
Commissioner Sparks was shown Woon-
socket. nak., special printed in northwest
ern papers lew days since, in which his
policy was called severely to account. The
dispatch contained the following state
neut:
one OF the late rulings and one in direct
conflict With that OF any predecessor since
taeenactment Of the homestead law, is that
married women, who alter taking their
claims marry, forfeit all rights, and
the land reverts to the govern
ment. Within a radius of thirty miles of
/ this place it is stated that to-day there are
ninety three claims taken by women, and
that out of that number over eighty are
now living on and improving their lard.
Many Thousand acres are being thus i'm
! proved, aud the residents thereon do not
propose to submit to Sparks decree.
The commissioner said:
Yes, | did make such a ruling, | have

member it nov. OF course il an
unmarried woman takes up homestead
and then marries and brings her husband
/ to live with her on the claim, | have no

Almighty and the law say her home is
where her husband is, and it is not logical
to say she has IA home or residence on
her entry as contemplated by law. The
Woonsocket man who wrote that article

lied, Those women are probably school

they intend to be dishonest, but arc led
into it by sharpers and land attorneys,

up an Sx6 shack, with board roof and
shingle at each e d, to carry out the law;
go out there and stay Saturday and Sun

The tobacco statistics OF the cities OF
Danvills and Lynchburg, Va, for the
year ending September 80 exhibit an
enormous trade in the weed. In DAN
vile the sales of leaf tobacco in the
eleven public warehouses aggregated
over 10000, 900 pounds, at an aver
age of $9.51 per hundred pounds. In
addition, more than 8, 1000, 600 pounds
changed hands outside of the ware
houses; so that at least 81, 900, 900
was paid out for the leaf in Danville dur
ing the year. In Lynehburg the sales
aggregated nearly SO, 600, 900 pounds,
with perhaps slightly lower average.
1t will thus be seen that in the two
cities at least SO, 900, 900 was paid
for leaf during the year. The great
bulk Of this was raised in the twenty
or twenty five counties tributary to
