MEDICAL AUTHORITY.

R. Munch, proprietor of drug estxb- lishment in Leipzig, Saxony, publishes in the Pharmacist, a medical paper, . remedy for diphtheria which has had surprising success. He urgently presses all physicians to try it for the beneht of all patients suffering from the dis ease, and also requests the press to publish it.
 He says: My little daughter, seveu years of age, has had diphtheria twice within some weeks with severe fever. about l05 degrees F. We gave with great success rectiiied oil of turpontin0 (oleum terebfnth ne rectiflcatum). Dose, one teaspoonful in the morning and the same at evening""
 Adults should take one tablesp00n- full. Afterward drink little luke warm milk to allay the burning in tue throat.
 For children the second dose can be mixed with milk, which will render it easier to take.
 The result is really marvellous. The inflammation of the abnormal diph- theritic spots in the throat gr0ws lighter at the edges, and in this way they gradually shrink, until in twenty four hours they disappear entirely, leaving no sign.
 To quiet tho innamed tonsils the throat was gargled, at first every two hours and then every three hour with the following gargle: One ounce cillo- rate of potasb to forty ounces of dis titled water.

 THAT rare old hypocrite, the New York Tribune, is urging the Women s Christian Temperance Union to join in the scheme to abolish the internal revenue on whisky. What this scheme means is hard to guess, unless it is the "only alternative of the republican party to Cleveland's message that the taxes on the necessaries of life and raw material be reduced. Whisky at three cents a glass and cheap tobacco would not lessen the labors of the temperance cause. It would place these evils within the reach of all. But a few years ago only men used tobacco. but when presented in the cheap form of cigarettes it became general, and to- day it is not an uncommon sight to see children of tender years pufiing away at cheap tobacco in the form of cigar cites. Even so it will be with that greatest of all evils. Reduce the taxes and at three cents per drink it will be within the reacA Of all, and God help the rising generation. 1t will be a shame to their sex if the Women's Christian Temperance Union lend their aid to the scheme of the Tribune, and will have discarded all their right to the name of christian"

ADULTKRArIoN of family provisions has become so general that an organiza- tion has been formed to reform the growing abuse. A national pure food convention has been in session at Washington City, where all of the leading trade organizations are repre- sented. The movement is in the inter- est of sound stomachs, pure blood and good health. Dishonesty and the pres sure of competition are the main causes of adulteration. and as these clements in trade will always exist to some extent, the remedy against mixed food must be sought in legislation and in the vigilance of efficient commercial inspectors. Under the present system of adulterated food no one can tell how much disease is chargeable to it, but the amount must be considerable and should be diminished.

last week bill of flour of about one hundred barrels and bought of a Searcy merchant cheaper than he could in St. Louis. after paying freight, by from twenty to thirty cents a barrel, and cheaper than the wheelers could have bought it at retail from forty to seventy-iive cents a barrel"
 Now, we have had no experience of this kind here, but we venture the as- sertion that the merchants of Forrest City can buy as cheap as the mer- chants of Searcy. and we guarantee that they will sell at as small margin as any merchants in the State. Is it false or not?
 That was a capital compliment Mir. Bonner paid us when he said some body had better put the muz1le on Mir. V. if you don't want the whole truth told" Thank you; that is part of our motto-"Fear God, TELL THE TRUTH and Make Money" all of which we adhere to strictly.
 Now, please notice the last para graph of our friend Bonner's article. We take it for granted that his figures are correct. Two cents each he says IS the cost of the members for the State agent. That seems too small amount to talk about, but he says nearly si GOO ,002 t5 pa, the merchants agents. |. G., the drummersn He don't mean sl,OOO,000 each; he means altogether. Now who pays the Sl ,000, ,o00- the farmer? We say no, sirl Every per son who consumes bears their share of this tax (lf it can be so termed). Ar kansas has nearly one million people. This makes one dollar to each inhabit- ant. Now it is known that any mer- chant can buy cheaper in personal trade than he can by letter, and if these drummers did. mot come to them the merchant would go to the whole sale houses, and by this means large reductions are generally secured, for, says the merchant, can buy of some other firm cheaper, and, as competi- tion is the life of trade, the seller comes down. Again, State wheel agent will not diminish the number of drummers, we don't think, and in the end We must pay for both. "Of the two evils choose ye the lesser.'
 In conclusion let us say we are not a sybarite. Many, perhaps, do not know the meaning of this word. Webster wal probably enlighten theml. Our means are too limited to be devoted to any such thing. We are rather devoted to the public good, and, although Mir. Bonner was not the subject of the article last week, he has undertaken to show wherein we were mistaken, and we leave it to the public to judge whether or not he has failed.

THE intensely cold weather in the Northwest is likely to give an impetus to Southern immigration, and nowhere in this country can place be found more peculiarly blessed than the State of Arkansas. Her resources are best every mineral is found within her borders. Her soil is adapted to the growth of any kind of grain or fruit. The forests abound with woods adapted to any kind of manufacture. No bliz- zards ever sweep over her bosom, leaving death and destruction in the train. No new plan of winter cloth ing, or rigid rule as to exposure of man and beast" is needed here, and her people are renowned for hospitality. The door is open for all honest corners, and room for all

THE secret sessions of the United States senate during the discussion of the merits of appointees is purely a sham. Everything that is said is after wards published to the world, and no senator will have the gall to deny this fact. It is true that Lamar went in by a small majority but he got there all the same, and the objections to him only go to prove that even the supreme court of the United States is filled with men whose political friends were in the ascendancy. What a comment! But it is true, and you cannot deny it..

THE New Y ork Times says that pro hibition is not yet a political question in the South but is such in the North. Our contemporary is badly of on that point. The ablest political leaders of the South have, time and again, as- serted that prohibition was purely and absolutely political from the start, and always would be. Jeff Davis says that it is untenable to deny it's political tendencies, and he is certainly good authority on this or any other point.

MR. TALMAGE recently preached a very able sermon on the subject of mercenary marriages, and we honor him for his manly effort. However, it seems to us that a minister is wasting both his brain and breath in efforts of this kin1. Mercenary mammas and papas exist now, and ever have existed, and all the powers of the pulpit can avail nothing in the way of their abatement.

DICKENS.

Speaking of Dickens just now the thought flashed upon us that it is a truth that nine out of every ten who say they don't like Dickens," have never read enough of his works to know whether they like his novels or not. From experience we are satisfied second or even third reading of any of his works will cause the reader to become more and more impressed with the FACT that Dickens was the grand est portrayer of human life that ever lived. And there are new beauties to be found at each repeated reading. We have had the pleasure of reading "Old Curiosity Shop" Little Dorrit,' David Copperfeld," Tale of Two Cities, D" Our Mutual Friend, "''Christ- mas Books "Pickwick Papers" "Oliver Twist" History of England" Bleak House" and 'Barnaby Rudge," (the two latter twice., and have never tired.
 It was argued in the Memphis Ava lanche of Monday morning that Dick ems efforts in the portrayal of child life was strained and unnatural. giving as examples in favor of the argument, Little Nell" and Paul Dombey," and as exceptions to the rule, David Copperlield'' and little Emily" Ad- mitting for the sake of argument (although we never found it sol that the former were strained and un- natural how is with "Jo" and Little Charley? tin Bleak House.l Little Dorrit" and "Oliver Twist" and dozens of others we could name. These characters are so thoroughly natural that, while reading, one has but to pause and look about him to see just such-probably next door neighbors. They are so natural one has but to close his eyes to have them standing before him. We deny that his portrayal of child life is strained or unnatural, except, perhaps, in two or three instances. We deny it, from the fact that we meet such characters daily.
