How. as a general tiring, young
doctors, and lawyers get their first
patients and clients is one of the un­
solved mysteries.
I know how it was in Bob Whit
low ’s case.
Bob, after graduating with honor
at a fist class medical college, went
West, and, picking out a populous
and sickly neighborhood, pitched his
professional tent, and hung out his
shingle and boldly offered himself as
as healer of the people.
His moderate patrimony had bare*
iy sufficed to meet the expenses of
1Ú3 legiate and medical course, leav­
ing his sole dependence for the fu­
ture on success in the walk of life he
had chosen.
A few months convinced him that
the immediate prospect was not
promising. Dr. Chincougli had
reigned there for so many years with
undisputed sway, that the offer of a
young and inexperienced practition­
er to compete with him was general­
ly looked upon as a piece of imper­
tinence.
True, the neighboring graveyard
disclosed a mortality out of ail pro«
portion to the population; but no­
body attributed that to “ Old Chin.,”
as some of the less respectful called
him. I have already said it was a
sickly region: ¡ nd old Chin, had a
pappy knack, moreover, when his
patients died of laying the blame on
Providence, and when they didn’t of
ascribing to himself the glory.
As for my friend, Bob Whitlow,
old Chin, simply ignored his exist­
ence.
Things began to look blue for Bob.
His board bill fell behind, his office
rent got into arrears, and unless af*
fairs took a speedy turn, an unpleas­
ant crisis must soon be reached.
One day a well dressed young trav­
eler fell sick at the village inn. The
landlord—with whom Bob boarded—
would fain have got the latter into
the case; for the stranger had the ap­
pearance ot a man able to payq and,
if Bob got a good fee, the prospects
of his board bill being settled would
be decidedly improved.
Accordingly, when the sick gen­
tleman spoke of calling a physician,
the landlord would have recommen­
ded Bob on thè spot; but tli9 stran­
ger, going on to say that he wanted
to consult a man of age and experi­
ence, his host had no alternative but
to name Dr. Chincougli.
Call him immediately, said the
sick man.
Old Chin, found the stranger dan­
gerously ill. He invariably found
his patients so. Catch him under­
rating the difficulty of a casé. He
gave assurance of his ability, liowev-
ever, to bring the gentleman round
in time, though the process might be
slower than could bo wished.
Strong medicines and plenty of
them was old Chin.’s rule of faith and
practice, and on it he eet to work in
the present case
The result wras singularly unsuc­
cessful. Every symptom combated
seemed only to be aggravated by the
remedy wherewith it was sought to
allay it, whilst the patient was con­
stantly complaining of freshpainsin
parts of his system not assailed be­
fore.
Old Chin, was at his wit’s end. ,
He had never in his whole profession­
al life met a case so obstinate.
Meanwhile the patient grew rapid­
ly worse and at last, to all appearan-
ances, lay at 'death’s door,
Old Chin, gave it up. His skill
was fairly baffled.
I feel it my duty to warn you he
said, addressing his sinking patient,
that your case is beyond the reach
of medical aid. If you have any
worldly matters to attend to there is
no time to be lost.
Is—-there—no other—physician in
the place ? feebly gasped the stran­
ger.
Old Chin, shook his head.
Beg pardon, the landlord ventured
to hint; there’s Dr. Whitlow.
Oh, I didn’t think of him, old
Chin, answered with a sniff.
Send for him, said the stranger.
Yes, send for him, said old Chin,
with evident disgust.
A messenger was dispatched, and
Bob lost no time in obeying the
summons.
Old Chin., with a superciliotfs air
gave Bob a brief summary of the
case, and an outline of the treatment
hitherto pursued.
I trust it meets your approbation,
he added with a curl of his lip.
I only wonder the man isn’t dead!
ejaculated Bob.
What do you mean ? Mr.------W it­
less?
Whitlow, corrected Bob.
Whitlow or Felon, bellowed Old
Chin, in a fury, I demand an expla­
nation of your insolence.
I only mean said Bob, quietly, that
the remedies you have administered
were enough to kill a horse.
Perhaps you can prescribe better,
Sneered'Old Chin.
If I couldn’t I. wouldn’t try, said
Bob.
Suppose you do try, retorted Old
Chin, contemptuously.
There’s my prescription, answer­
ed Bob, having written it off hastily.
What! replied the other with deep
scorn, stimulants for a man in his
condition ?
I Should think so, said Bob, after
tho prostrating treatment he has gone
through.
I will try the new prescription,
whispered the sick man with effort.
Bob prepared it, and the patient
swallowed it. The effect was instan­
taneous. The stranger declared
himself entirely relieved, and, but
for being cautioned by Bob against
such rashness, would have gotten
up at once. Oíd Chiu, was astounded
but not convinced.
It’s the temporary effect of the
stimulant, he said; when that passes
off there will be a relapse.
But there was no relapse; and much
to Old Chin.’s chagrin, the stranger
was up and able to travel the next
day.
Bob’s reputation was established
from that time on, and old Chin.’s
began to wane. Indeed the latter
found it convenient within a year
to retire on the fortune he had
already made, leaving the field clear
to Bob.
It was not till many years after­
ward that it leaked out that Bob’s
first patient was an old college chum
of his own, with plenty of time and
rnon'ey on his hands, whose journey
through Bob’s town and sudden ill­
ness "there, and wonderful cure,
were all parts of a concerted scheme
between the two to give Bob a lift,
and that the famous prescription,
leaving out a few unimportant in­
gredients, was nothing more than a
stiff brandy cocktail.
It must have been a severe trial of
your friend’s devotion,I remarked to
Bob when he told me the story, to
swallow Old Chin.’s doses.
The worst of them he didn’t swal­
low, said Bob, but only let on to.
After holding them in his month
awhile he would spurt them out,
pretending that, like Mickey Free’s
Emetics, they 'wouldn’t lie on his
stomach.’—New York Ledger.
A great deal has been said about
the enormous
income received
by the National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry in Washing­
ton from subordinate granges in all
parts of the country, and much curi­
osity has been expressed as to
the disposition made of the fund
which accumulated from the sale of
“ dispensations” and the contribu­
tions of dues, which, it is estimated,
must reach several hundred thous­
and dollars per year. A correspon­
dent, who is an officer of à grange in
Texas, sends us some information
on this subject which is explicit and
interesting to those who possess
curiosity as to the doings of the
Grangers. Our correspondent says
that the grange of which he is a
member sent the_ customary fee of
$15 to the National Grange, and in
return received one tin box with
brass look and key; a blank book for
the Secretary, and another for the
Treasurer; thirteen manuals and
thirteen song books; thirteen copies
of the Constitution of the National
Grange; one suit of regalia for men
and one for women members, as pat­
terns, together with copies of the
different blanks used in the grange,
all of which cost probably $6 or $7,
winch would reduce the amount
from one subordinate grange in the
hands of the National Grange to $8
or $9, not counting the annual dues.
When the great overflow occurred in
Louisiana the National Grange dis.-
trib uted $20,000 among the suffer­
ing Grangers there, and our corres­
pondent says that it has contributed
large sums to the relief of Grangers
who have suffered from the devasta­
tion caused by the grasshoppers in
Kansas and Nebraska, while the bal­
ancé of its receipts bas been invested
in United States interest bearing
bonds and held as a fund from which
to draw for the assistance of dis­
tressed Granges in case of need. He
adds that if all the money sent by
his grange to the National Grange
had entirely dissapeared, he would
have considered is as a good invest-
mennt, on account of the benefit
which he and his associates had de­
rived from the organization in many
ways.—New York Sun.
The trade dollar which has been
introduced iu the coinage of the
United States promises to" be of great
value to tli9 country, It is a hand­
some coin; unlike the Mexican dol­
lars, it is uniform in size and weight
and the pure silver in it exceeds in
value that in either the old American
dollar or the Mexican dollar, and is
about-the same as that of the Japan­
ese yen. The Chinese have assayed
it, and finding it really more valuable
than the Mexican dollar, have given
it the preference. In Japan, the
Oriental Bank, an important corpo­
ration, has officially announced that
it will-hereafter be received in the
ordinary course of business at par
with the Mexican dollar. The de­
sign of the trade dollar was not only'
to supplant the Mexican dollar, and
thus save a tax of from five to seven
per cent, upon the commerce of the
United States with the Orient, but
likewise to afford an outlet for the
silver bullion product of tb9 Pacific
States, and both of these ends are
likely to be attained. The British
merchants in China have fought
strenuously against its introduciion
in that country, but without success
and it is only a questiofi of time when
London merchants doing busines
with China and Japan will emplpy
the new coin for their transactions.
One evening last week a material-
zied spirit, that had been delighting
an Eastern »ircle of the elect, got a
frightful whaek on the head from a
cane in the hand of a skeptic, and
the next day there was pasted on the
shutters of the officiating medium’s
store a bit of paper containing the
following legend: “ Closed on ac­
count of a death in the family.”
Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, in
speaking of the Force Bill, says: “ The close
of the civil war was speedily followed by the
disbandment of both the great armies, and
before a twelvemonth was over the four-
year’s inhabitants of camps and wielders of
the implements of war were transformed
again into the busy workers in the fields and
shops of North and South. And the country
boasted of the ease and almoat noiselessness
with which the palpable signs of war were
removed- and the pursuits of the soldier ex­
changed for those of the farmer, the mer­
chant, the artisan, and the tradesman. There
was surely reason for thankfulness, if not
for boasting, for the obed ience of the people
to.law was truly impressive. The event
proved that military methods could with us
promptly yield to the ordinary course of civ­
il procedure. We took up the sword -only,
when compelled to the l’esor t, and laid it
down finally when it had accomplished the
purpose for which it was unsheathed. We
were ready thereafter to trust to the ordina-
ry operation of law for national security,
and to leave the defense of our rights when
assailed to the ballot-box and legislation.
This was what gave the country reason
for devout thankfulness in 1865 and 1866.
The war was over, there were few revenge­
ful feelings at the North against the South.
We were ready to exercise forbearance and
to assist in building up the region devasta­
ted by war. Mr. Lincoln had only words
of kindness and conciliation for the defeated
followers-of Lee and Johnsbn, and the bit­
ter “ penalties of treason,” about which so
much had been said in the first years of the
war, were not in a single case applied. The
South had no. political desires—scarcely any
interest in politics. The people were think­
ing only of recovering their lost fortunes
and repairing the ravages of war. It was a
wretched evidence of lack o f statesmanship
that a halting unsystematic plan of recon­
struction in a few years stirred these people
up to angry discussion of their political
rights and almost hopeless contest for hon­
est government. And now, ten years after
the war is over, spite of the evident desire
of the South for the peace which they were
promised, a Republican Congressional cau­
cus declares!hat the only remedy for the
“ disorder” which has followed the miserable
reconstruction blunders, and the only hope
for the party’s supremacy in the nation, are
resort again to military law, the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus, and the relaga-
tion of the South to the tender mercies of
the military power of the President. The
Bill the Republican caucus lately agreed up­
on “ for the better government of tho South­
ern States” empowers the President, “ in his
discretion,” to, suspend the writ of habeas
corpus in any State of the Union “ whenever
in any State unlawful combinations shall be
organized or attempted, and so numerous
and powerful as to be able, by violence, to
set at defiance or overturn any State autori­
fles.”
What does this mean if it does not imply
a military despotism over the whole South,
if not over the whole nation, in the event of
the desire of the President to exeicise it?
Is it a suggestion of the end towards which
our foreign critics in 1861 and since have
said we were. tending! ? Has the country,
indeed, returned to the sway of civil law, or
are we to have another Secretary Stanton
fulminating military judgments against all
of enders against the Washington code of
loyality ? Mr. Stanton may have well serv­
ed the country in the time of war, When we
were sometimes ready to overlook the means
so long as WO attained the ends. But is his
the sort of exercise of authority which a free
Republic will tolerate in times of profound
peace ? If after the vrar the South had been
left for two, three or five years under milita­
ry control, and allowed, undisturbed by
political detractions, to purstiA its labor of
recovery from the devastations c’ f the four
years , it would not have complained. The
even and just rule of military law would
have been in better condition to-day if it,,had
been imposed. But now, after ten yearo,
with the States “ reconstructed,” the ballot-
boxes restored and the remedies for disorder
applicable and enforcibleby the civil courts
to virtually declare martial law over the
whole South, is to carry us back to 1865
again, and to prepare the way for a military-
despotism over the whole country by estab­
lishing it first over a half on the pretense of
a conservation of order.
Is the Republi­
can party prepared for such a step ? Do the
leaders in Congress expect to convince the
T

r/X
T
* n n
L /i PnTuil-ifinnn vinviT

intelligence
of + the
Republican party
of the ^
necessity of so extreme a measure? The
Constitution wisely limits the occasion, and
restricts the power of the President to inter­
fere in the affairs of a State. Unbroken ex­
perience, as well as sound reason, proves the.
value of these restrictions. The State is left
to itself to settle its own internal difficulties,
and only in the last resort, when a republi­
can form of government is in peril, or invas­
ion is imminent,' or domestic violence exists,
is it within the province of the National Gov­
ernment to interfere, to “ guarantee” the
one, and “ protect against the others, and
then only on application of the Legislature,
or of the Executive when the Legislature
cannot be convened.” But by this Bill, to
which tho Republican caucus pledges itself,
nothing but “ the discretion” of the Presi­
dent is to stand between him and the estab­
lishment of martial law throughout the Un­
ion ! It makes him the practical Dictator
of the nation, with all the State Legislatures
and Governors at his feet. By such steps as
these, despots mount to unlimited power.
Is the Republican majority in Congress-pre­
pared to make smooth the road to military
despotism in the once United States ? Will
it adjourn leaving the country at the mercy
of the “ discretion” of President Grant ? It
would be easy enough to foment or manu­
facture “ unlawful combinations” wherever
it was desired, and by Pall to make the habe­
as corpus a popular right known to the
Southern people only as a thing of the past.
There is a wiser Republican sentiment
than that which could even consider such a
Bill, among the people, if not in Congress.
The Republican Party has not only been in
the majority in the-country, but it has also
included a large share of the intelligence,
justice, conservatism, and patriotism ot the
country. It is not a party to be led by its
captains in any such direction as this caucus
Bill points out. The passage of such a Bill
by Congress would soon wipe out the whole
Republican organization and consolidate all
the thoughtful people of the country in an
opposition which, spite of the extraordinary
powers conferred on the President, would
sweep everything before it in 1876, and again
prove to the world that the United States
are a Republic and not a military despotism,
or likely to become one.
