Austria, Hungary Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark approximate the thoroughness of the course of ph ceutical education in Gi But somewnat less thorough is required in Roumania, Ltaly and In France pharmaceutical education is controlled by the state, so far as that students, after & more or lesa brief experience in drug stores, have to attend for one or two years the lectures at one of the pharmaceutical schools at Paris Nance or Montpelier, or at th vharmaceutical schools at Nantes or Mas seilles, and after this they must pass an ex- amination. Upon the satisfactory passage of this examination the student receives, ac- cording to the time of his study and the price he is able to pay, the diploma as as a pharia- cien of the first or of the second degree. The 1 lass pharmacist may engage in his pro; 1 wherever he pleases i while the sceond-class one inust confine him self exclusively to small eities, towns or vil- Inges. The course ot study is somewhat more thorough in Belgium aud the Netherlands, but is more defieient in practical proticiency. Here the student must first attend lectures and afterwards attain skill and experience in pharmacy when he is admitted to exam- ination and sub sequently to practice, In Spain and Fortugal the course is very like that of France. Tlie universities in Madrid, Barcelona and Grenada and the medieal schools at Lisbon, Oporto and Co- lumbia In Portugal, afford the required in- struction to pharmaceutical students. In ‘Purkey threo years apprenticeship is required and subsequent attendance upon lectures at the Imperial Institute in onstantinople, which a:so has control of examinations and grants license to practice. In Great Britain the state has exercised obligatory influence over the qualifications of phatmaols s for only twenty years. ‘This control is vested in the pharmaceutical society of Great Britain and n the privy council, but the former does the work, Tl © examinatiol required, a pre| ary ons for regist: as “apprentice” or “student,’ a minor one for license as “chemist” and “driigzlst” or a major examination for “pharmaceutical ehemist.”” Pharn Spanish and Portugese America is some thing that is yet to be brought forth from the iznorance that hangs like a canopy of dark- ver those people.

Our offorts to seeure propex and eflicient ative restriction in this stato have thus ailed very little.

" The op- tion to wholesome legislation for mutual cotion of the public and pharinacists, which Tias alw shown itselt when® ever the intelligent power of the state has been inyoked, has for- tunately dwindled down ' to comj y nothing. ‘The intellizence of soclety nands the restrietive legislation that this association will recommend, and the next legislature without doubt, will show the s diSposition to respond to this intellizent sen- ent, as did that of 1852, * Tue bill passed by that body was vetoed by the governor on purely constitutional groinds. Happily away has been discovered by which all needed legislation may be had without coming into conflict with tho constitution. The lezisla- tive committee has done its duty in this re- spoct. Yetitwilibo well' for the report of that commitiee to receive the most careful consideration at the hands of the assoclation, sothatany proposed law may have the en’ dorsement of the deliberate judgement ot the society. Wbolesome pharinacy laws are in foroe I neatly two-thirds of’ the states of the Union, and in the light of the past prog- ress in this respect it 18 not unreasonable to expect that all states will be ineluded in the eatalogue within a very few “The ereataim of pharmac should be to briug nbout such uniformity of slativeaction in the several states s 1l amount practically 1o national law Indeed, it would be in tho interests of so- ety sliould congress ide its fear of too eat centralization of power and enact a comprehensive law that would operate uni- formly inall the states, In the avsence of this pharmacists have' it lefi within ti power to britig about the next best thing uniformity histate laws, 1am bappy in the belief that the people inour own ' state are edueated up to that point in respect of this v which precludes the psssibility pposition, In this conneetion cull attention to the desirability of pensing of sal mination of the in Georgia touching this subject has convineed me that the aetion of tho lewislature of that state was well tived, and the law in its provisons worthy of our imitation, Mauy ot the statos have laws ex- cupting registered pharmacists from jury y. .

Our assoctation should endeavor to secure the passage of these laws at the next session o the logisinture. - At o Inte day I learned that the committee on pharmacy would not be able to make a report.

Mr. Stephien A. Brown, ot the firm of Brown & ‘tutchinson, North 'Bend, departed this life January 7, 1880, at the age of 31 years. Deceased became member of the associ- ation in 188, He was reputed to be a phar- imacist of excellent training and a most popu- Iar business man. Mr. John Lewis Hodge died August 22, 18%5, when he had bardly passed tha threshold of manhood, being ¥ yoars and five months old. Though yet in e roseate year of lifo and just en- tered upon an active business career he had already given ovidence of thor- oughiness "in his profession, and of being the possessor of those sterling qualities o mind and character which distinguished him as a man, and reflected honor upon this asso- ciation, of which lio was a charter member. 1ie was a registered Towan clork, and was in the employ of W.

Sceretary Ziumer then read letters from Oscar Oberg, editor of the “‘West- ern Druggist.”” of Chicago; also from the fowa Phurmaccutical association, each expressing their regrets at their inability to be present, and commending the Neé- braska sc yinits work. .

Mr. Charles Hanley, the Tenth street procer, met with a serious mishap in an endeavor to save two children from being hurt in a runaway accident yester- day evening. Mr. Gibson, the real estate dealer, was crossing the tracks on Tenth street about 7 o'clock, when his team be- came frightened by passing trans and attempted to ran aw He sprang from his carringe to get at the horses' heads, and in doing so was thrown against a telegraph pole and temporarily disabled. The frightened team dashed up Tenth street, and when just in front of Mr. Hanle sto collided with a car- ringe occupied by My, Stubbendorf and his two children. The carriage was upset and the children thrown out. Mr. nley, seeing the dangerous position in which® the children had been placed, rushed into the street to rescue them. As he did so Mr. Gibsons’s team suddenly whirled 1n his direction, striking him down and dragging the broken carriage over him. Mr. Hapley was picked up in 4 semi-unconsciops gonditon and re- moved to his homg, at ;1018 Pacific street, and Drs. Parker apd_Darrow summoned to attend him.

Events Which Brought About the Ruin of A Man Who Was Six- teen Years in the United States Senate, New York World: *It is not very gen- erally known,' said a Michigan man yes- i ex-Senator Thomas W. Fer- ry is an exile from his state and countr) He dare not return until matters pending against him are either outlawed or sot- tied. There is an indictment against him for forgery.’ “Up to the time of his defoat tor re- election a few years ago he passed as very rich man. ““Yes, but that was far from the truth. Ten or fifteen years ago he was worth considerable money. He had an interest with his brother in some Michigan pine Iands, and together they operated an ex tensive lnmber yard in Chieago. I say together, but Thomas never had any- thing to do with the managoment of the business. They made considerable mon- ey for a time, and, as usua., their fortune was overestimated. Reverses came, how- ever, and in addition to_this the senator Dbogan leading a very wild life at Wash- ton. He spent more than his ry in dissivation, and became involved in sev- oral disgraceful scandals. You remem- ber how he was horsewhipped in his rooms at the National hotel by an irate young woman and her father.” Poor Fer- ry crept under the bed and cried for mercy, but his assailants only stopped whon they were completely exhausted. The story told at the time was to the ef- fect that Ferry had insulted the young lady in some way and that was the meth- od chosen to avenge it. Ferry never made any complaint, but the father of the young lady received a note from the sonator o couple of days after the attack. He opened it, expecting to find at least challenge, but instead he found an annu- al p: for himself and family over the Pannsylvania railroad.

CITY ANDCOUNTRY BOYS. Some Remarks Upon Their Contrary Likes and Dislike: - Pittsburg Clironicl grown boy of the rural districts, are en- vious of each other, inverscly as the square of the seasons, mathemati tions would put it. Kor instance, just now when the April showers are ling and the flowers are beginning to bloon, the ci s elose schoolrooms and wishes himself out i the country re there is good fishing in the little streams and T e there flowers in the woods showing themselyes, and whe there are birds and a thousand ot things that lead to his enjoyment. The country lud is just as desirous of staying though he 15 in the coun try the whole year round, he is just as glad to live in the sunshine and among the flowers and green fields as the city boy would be. he don't want any city mixed up with his life when the charia- ing spring weather comes. But theve is a time when he would like to be in the city. When | could get there and what he would do if he were thel This is when the work is over, and_the chilling bl winter are felt. The country is n dreary place in winter, and the boy thinks that ifonly he could be fixed like his cousin he would be supremely happy. To tell the truth, the boy on a farm has hard time of it in the winter. There is always a lot of work to do which the old- er people seem to think is just the thing for the boys, and therefore huve to do it. True, they get some sleigh-rides and have a little fun at school, but it is dreary 3ime notwithstanding. The city boy, if his parents are well-to- do, hus & great advantage in the long run—he hasa long vacation in the sum- mer, and he can g0 out and spend it with his country cousin. He has nothing to do, and if 'his parents ave in a position to live half and half, th is, the wintor in the city and the summer in the country, he is pretty well provided for. The country boy can’'t do anything like this He has too much to do in the winter to come into town and have a good time, and he is a fortunat if he can get & few days’ visit ever) city. The country boy, ke farm life, and not one-half of them do—not beeause they are indolent or anything of the kind, for they will work kard enough at what they do like—will, in course of time, drift away from the farm and find himself clerking in a ety store or working in the shops and having a much harder time of it than he had on the farm, t you could not get him to go back. He may get out of town oceasion ally and see the green fields, and fish in the streams as he did when a boy, but a week or 50 is enough, and back Lo comes to the crowded city, Boys are very gucer soue way or other, and a really contented boy is not found at every turn ot elbow. Thisis the plans and plans how he | reason, perhaps, why there are so many diicontented men in the world—they are so many because they did not havs things to suit them when they were boy: — THE PAY OF FRENCH WRITERS, Journalists and Authors Who Have Made Fortunes by Literary Work. M. Loredan Larchey, a weil-known Parisian literateur, contributes to the Monde Tlustro some mteresting reminis- cences and information 1n respect of the earnings, past and present, of French journalists, nevelists, and playwright Some of his facts and figures will be in- teresting to English realers. After a pussing allusion to a meeting of writers, in which the opinion was unanimously expressed that a man could make a bet- ter livelihood with his pen in France than anywhere else, M. Larchey continues thus “Thirty years ago journalism was al- most or wholly unproductive. Betw 1846 and 1847, La Silhouette and Le Cor saire paid for contributions at the rate of 6 centime (1} cents)a line. Champfleury’s ‘SBatan Chieo Caillou, brough him from to 23 francs.

All of these arti- cles had been taken in exchange for advertisements by the manager, who was his own canvassor; times were hard. “Journulism became lucrative toward the endof the second empire.

Responsive thereto June wheat opened at TP @750, lower than it closed. For awhile it fluctuated around 77ige, but ut- terly failed not only to advance beyond this figure but to keep up to it.

NatJones was a very heavy seller in all the principal pits—wheat, corn and pro- visions. 1In corn he is alleged to have sold the crop. Such demand as came from early traders was in the nature of short covering. Lefzynsky & Co,, of New York, threw little light on the actubl situation by say that sales of gxport wheat in that port are from 1@lige below cash market, so great is the anxiety and eagerness to get wheat moving. No foreign country, according to the samo authority, can afford to buy American wheat andare raising all of their own llm‘pn«lbly can.
