SENATOR NELATON.

Since M. Nelaton's appointment to the Senate it
has been made a question whether he will relinquish
his profession. Some of our contemporaries have
quietly settled the point by observing that the sacri-
fice
hasro Emperor's science are of a doubtful
and unsatisfactory nature. P
seen compliments
required f from him
hie is simply a mistake ;
our comments on a recent occasion upon M. Nela-
ton's appointment retain their full sense and value.
There is nothing whatever to lessen the gracious
character of the Emperor's determination. No
condition has been pressed upon Nelatou, and
he is perfectly free to act as he chooses. The
profession in France has, therefore, every reason
to be proud that this distinction has been con-
ferred in such circumstances upon one of its most
worthy members. Indeed, the very manner in
which M. Nelaton's nomination was made known
to him shows beyond a doubt the absence of any
such intention from the mind of the Emperor. Be-
fore the 15th of August it was a current belief with
the public that M. Nelaton would be called to the
Senate, but the celebrated surgeon himself had per-
sonally no assurance on which he might ground any
such ambition. On August 14 he was in his con-
sultation room, when a courier arrived and handed a
letter from the Prince Imperial. The young Prince
had written to say that he knew his doctor had
just been named a Senator, and that he was glad to
be the first to announce the event. The delicacy
of such a proceeding needs no comment. M.
Ne-
laton being thus free to act as he desires, it is
not probable that he will of his own accord
relinquish his profession. There are several
reasons why he should not. It would, in the
first place, be a sort of avowal that there is some
reason in the absurd prejudice which had until
now precluded the active members of his profes-
sion from enjoying any elevated political posi-
tion. It would, in the next place, unnecessarily
deprive the public and the profession of the assist-
ance which may be derived from his , long ex-
perience and recognised ability• There is one more
reason which the new-fledged Senator would
doubtless weigh well before arriving at any such
determination. Since the death of Velpeau, Jo-
bert, Trousseau, Michon, and Payer, his practice
has taken an unlimited extension, and is now
worth, it is said, upwards of 500,000 francs a
year— half a million of French money. Really
it would be asking too much of the cele-
brated surgeon to abandon so rich a field,
even if it be for the sake of enjoying the vaunt cum
dignitate of a seat in the Imperial Senate. We
may therefore safely assert that M. Nelaton has
not, as it was wittily remarked by a French con-
temporary, thrown his bistoury into the Seine on
his way to the Senate, but that he will yet con-
tinue to handle it, much to his own benefit as also
to that of his patients,—Pie Lancet,_
