THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
24i 
countries, he will soon give them an oppor¬ 
tunity to do so, and Emin’s determination 
will leave him without a rival.Ex¬ 
iled Dom Pedro has refused to accept the 
proceeds of the forced sale of his Brazilian 
property which was ordered by the Provi¬ 
sional Government. The latter appears to 
l)e getting along very well, and intends to 
hasten the election of members of the As¬ 
sembly to frame a constitution next Sep¬ 
tember, so that elections are likely to be 
held l>efore. 
There is a report that the Emperor of Aus¬ 
tria has offered the Pope to ce.de to him the 
troublesome province of Triste as a resi¬ 
dence. This tne Italians claim as a part of 
Italy. It is at the head of the Adriatic, and 
if its neutrality were guaranteed by the 
Powers, communication with all parts of 
the world would be open even in times of 
f encral war—a privilege or right which the 
'apacy has persistently claimed. Young 
Emperor William has become very friendly 
with Leo XIH ,and this plan mightafford a 
good way out of the Papacy’s present 
trouble with Italy, but the Pope is hardly 
likely to accept the offer even if it has been 
made.Servia has just suspended 
diplomatic relations with Bulgnria on ac¬ 
count of the failure of the latter to punish 
those who lately insulted the Servian rep¬ 
resentatives at Sofia. A rupture between 
the two little powers is imminent, and an 
outbreak there may lead to a general Euro- 
K u war.Two years ago Italy, which 
s out the American hog, permitted Aus¬ 
tria to import her hog products, and now 
Italy is trying to persuade Germany to re¬ 
admit Italian hogs. If she succeeds it will 
form a precedent which may lead to the 
removal of the interdiction on American 
pork into all three countries. 
There’s a violent semipolitical agitation 
among the students in all the Russian 
universities. Recently Count Tolstoi, 
Minister of the Interior, enacted many arbi¬ 
trary and reactionary statutes with regard 
to tne universities, instead of the liberal 
regulations in force under Alexander II, 
and the students, reckoned in the aggregate 
by thousands, have rebelled against them. 
Trie great universities at Moscow and St. 
Petersburg have been closed and many 
arrests have been made among the turbulent 
students, and in other universities also, the 
police and Cossacks have arrested many 
often after a good deal of fighting. In a 
despotic country like Russia popular dis¬ 
content of any kind soon becomes flavored 
with political bitterness. A good deal of 
discontent also exists among the peasantry, 
and has found vent in violence up in Fin¬ 
land. Indeed all over the vast Empire of 
Holy Russia, there is a seething mass of 
misery and dissatisfaction, which is re¬ 
pressed only by the ubiquitous police and 
soldiery. 
An Honorable Calling. 
In all ages the profession of medicine has 
been held in honor. Each of the other 
learned professions is more or less depend¬ 
ent upon this one. The lawyer must be 
versed in Medical Jurisprudence, and the 
clergyman must know “ to minister to a 
mind diseased.” And just now the writers 
of fiction seem to be encroaching upon the 
doctors’ “preserves.” With slight alter¬ 
ations or additions, for example, a few il¬ 
lustrations, many a modern novel might be 
made to do service as a medical work. How¬ 
ever, doctors’ lives are not all sunshine. 
They must expect many disappointments. 
The search for the elusive bullet, though, 
apparently, equally fascinating, is often 
not more successful than that for the North 
Pole. Science has enabled them to deter¬ 
mine just where it is, but, alas, they can not 
reach it. Then they are obliged to depend 
upon the charity of editors and publishers 
for advertising, their “Ethics” not allow¬ 
ing them to pay for it. And worst of all, 
the chronic cases, baffling and setting at 
naught their skill. This is sad for the 
doctors, but let us not waste our sympathy 
upon them, let us rather point out a way 
of escape to the patients given over by them. 
This is found in the Compound Oxygen 
Treatment of I)us. Stakkky & Palkn. 
Being inhaled, it is absorbed into the blood, 
and distributed over the whole body, im¬ 
parting new strength and vigor, and assist¬ 
ing nature. Over one thousand physicians 
are using it in their practice. You will find 
testimonials from these, as well as from 
great numbers of patients, besides a full 
account of Compound Oxygen, in our

SATUKDAY, April 5, 1890. 
May KlNO, a four-year-old stallion pur¬ 
chased one year ago for $8,000 by a New 
York State man of Senator Stanford, has 
i ust been sold to Pennsylvania parties for 
30,000.The Animal Spring Ex¬ 
hibition of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 
Society was held in Horticultural Hall, 
Philadelphia, last week. The display of 
flowers and plants was said to be the finest 
ever made at this season of the year. 
Phil. Armour, it 1 h reported, ih about to 
establish several tanneries at Chicago to 
tan his own hides. Hu may also establish 
a glue factory, and adopt other means to 
use up the entire carcass in his own 
works. 
A large number of farmers have lost their 
farms in the townships of Mnllica, Gal¬ 
loway and Hamilton, in Southern New 
Jersey. A mortgage of $30,(XX) was given 
some 30 years ago to Stephen Caldwell 
by the Gloucester Farm and Town Asso¬ 
ciation, which purchased the land in ques¬ 
tion at that time, and upon the association 
failing to pay the taxeslevied by the Town¬ 
ship Committees it was sold for taxes, the 
purchasers thinking that the tax titles 
given them by the township were valid, 
under acts passed ty the legislature at 
that time authorizing such sales. These 
acts have been by the Supreme Court de¬ 
clared not to defeat the jnortgage lien, ami 
this mortgage, therefore, remains firm, and 
was ordered foreclosed by the Caldwell 
heirH .At the recent meeting of 
the Ayrshire Breeders’ Association it was 
voted to pay the individual members who 
had contributed the four heifers and a bull 
to the New York Agricultural Experiment 
Station, and to present the same to the 
station in the name of the association. 
At present prices it would take 28,o<X) 
bushels of Neoraska corn to pay Patti for 
one evening’s entertainment. Singing 
evidently pays some people.At, a 
meeting of the Millc Exchange and the 
Milk Producers’ Union a compromise was 
effected in regard to the price for April, 
the price being fixed at 2% cents instead of 
three cents as fixed by the Producers’ 
l rnion, or 23 ^ cents as contemplated by the 
Milk Exchange.The heavy rains 
and floods have materially interfered with 
farm work in the South, to say nothing of 
the large areas submerged where it is 
doubtful if anything can be done for an in¬ 
definite time.Many young orange 
trees are reported killed in Florida, and 
others so badly frozen that the next crop 
will lie materially shortened.Such 
vegetation as was not killed outright by 
the frost, is reported to lie recovering 
rapidly. 
Farmers in Nebraska are sowing spring 
wheat, but the season in Minnesota and 
Dakota is backward on account of the re¬ 
cent cold weather. The severe freeze has 
materially injured wheat throughout the 
winter wheat belt, although some time 
must elapse before the full amount of the 
damage can be ascertained.The 
flour trade is improving, and there is a 
good demand in the interior for good mill¬ 
ing wheat as stocks of flour are not large. 
.During Lent the sale of eggs in 
New York reaches about 4,000 barrels per 
day.Sixteen farmers of Berks 
County, Pennsylvania, have failed within 
a short time, tne last ono making an as¬ 
signment owning a farm of 204 acres, one 
of the finest in the country. 
At a meeting of the Association Chambers 
of Agriculture held in Loudon on All 
Fools’ Day, a resolution was adopted de¬ 
claring that a relaxation of the regulations 
prohibiting the importation into Great 
Britain of American store cattle would be 
extremely dangerous. Those who advo¬ 
cated such a measure were bitterly de¬ 
nounced.The Secretary of Agri¬ 
culture is in receipt of a communication 
through the Italian Legatiou at Washing¬ 
ton and the Secretary of State, from the 
Assistant Secretary of State of the King¬ 
dom of Italy, calling his attention to the 
fact, that the importations into Italy, of 
plants from countries which, like the 
United States, have not, adhered to the Au- 
tiphylloxera Convention at Berne, cannot 
be effected without previous and express 
authorization of the Royal Minister or Ag¬ 
riculture and Commerce. In addition to 
the aforesaid authorization, a certificate 
must accompany shipments of plants, to 
lie issued by the local authorities and con¬ 
taining the following declarations: 1. 
That the plants shipped are from earth that 
is at least 20 metres distant from any vine, 
or that it is separated from any vino by 
some other obstacle that is deemed sufll- 
cient to prevent the exteusiou of the roots 
of such vine. 2. That such earth does not 
contain any vine. 3. That no vinos have 
been deposited therein. Those intending 
to Hhip vines to Italy would do well to 
notice the foregoing regulations. 
The damage to the Florida orange trees by 
frost is estimated at $1,000,000.
