Homœopathic Intelligence.

Van Aernam Exit.-The Daily Observer, of Utica, N. Y., of April 18, says: "When the gifted GRANT came to power, he appointed one Doctor VAN AERNAM Commissioner of Pensions. The Doctor was a practitioner of the old school. He loved a lancet and doated on a blue pill. The pellets and powders of Homeopathy were an abomination in his eyes. The mixed medicines of the Eclectic school met no favor at his hands. He roiled the waters of Hydropathy with the calomel-bitterness of his contempt.

The good Doctor straightway discovered that some medical heretics had been commissioned by his unworthy predecessors as Pension Surgeons. These surgeons are simply authorized to diagnose-not to dose-the cases of soldiers wounded in the late unpleasantness. But the wrath of the Regular was nevertheless roused against all who could not echo the shibboleth of his medical creed. Some messenger of malice brought him word that up in the village of Oneida dwelt a physician, grey in practice and ripe in experience, who, after treading for twenty years in the hallowed paths of the Allopaths, made his home with the Homeopaths. Him VANAERNAM resolved to treat with heroic remedies. He first enticed him into answering certain gentle questions, as to when and where he graduated and as to what his present school of practice was. Then he came down upon him with a brief dictum to the effect that "all Examining Surgeons should belong to one school and adopt one theory of medicine." As the offending surgeon confessed to HAHNEMANN's heresy he was informed that he was not "recognized by the Bureau," and was requested to resign as the best available means to save himself from being kicked out. Similar compliments were paid to all the Pension Surgeons in the country who differed from Doctor VAN AERNAM on the question of doses. All this happened nearly a year ago. But the second part of the play has just transpired. On Friday last, the name of JAMES H. BAKER, of Minnesota, was sent to the Senate for confirmation as Commissioner of Pensions in place of Doctor VAN AERNAM, removed.
