The FRANKLIN JOURNAL OF AuRAL SURGERY
AND rational MEDICINE is the title of a neat
monthly of some twenty-four pages, double
columns, edited by DR.. A. YorSG, and pub
lished at Harrington, Franklin Co., Maine
The DR.. is evidently of the genus homo,
and belongs to the editorial tribe las the num-
Der before us is an editor table. Every ar
ticle is original, and what is not, has his
comments to make the ma tier more valuable.
The object of the publication is to impart
useful medical information to the Deaf, Lame
and Halt and to the Medical Fraternity who,
among all classes, seem to be deficient in in
formation respecting Aural Surgery.
The DR.. who has himself been deaf from
early childhood, and suffered the pangs of
scientific quackery has, for the last few years
made the Ear special study, and now at
tempts to alleviate his professional brethren
from their present abode of darkness, and
lead them into new field of exploration by
offering such practical information as must
necessarily advance the cause of the Deaf and
that ofthe practitioner. The Journal is ably
written, and ought to be practically a sue
cess.

of loving affair between Douglas and

ana:
FROM WAsH1NGToN. The New York
Heraid's correspondent gives the follow
ing account of the woruy war between
Democratic Senators
"1n Executive session of the Senate
to-day an angry and exciting discussion
arose between Judge Douglas and Sena-
tor Fitch, when words were used which
it is thought must lead to duel. The
debate occurred on the question of con-
firming Potter of Ohio as Collector Of
Toledo. Mr.. Push opposed Potter's
nomination. as the man displaced was
his friend. He said If the President de-
sired an issue with him Push) he was
ready for it. He denounced the appoint
ment, and called upon every Senator
who was his (Pugns) friend to vote
against it. Douglas responded, saying
he would vote with the Senator from
Ohio. He then branchcd off on the Hi
nois appointments. and said they were
dishonest, corrupt and incompetent -
Senator Fitch Intercepted Douglas. and
said it was untrue. Douglas again rcit.
Grated what he had said. Fitch again
said it was untrue. Cries of order were
then made. Douglas continued the de-
bate. Fitch replied to Douglas with
great bitterness. and said that Senators
knew how to prize anything coming from
that quarter. Cries OF order were again
made. Douglas then replied, and was
called to order. Motions were then
made that Douglas be allowed to 20 on
in order. Jrff Davis opposed it, and
said. turning to Douglas, he had listen
ed with Indignation to the language
used, and it was that Of a highwayman
bravo. The debate was continued for
some time, when molten was made and
the Senate adjourned. 1t is said the lie
was given, and the most severe perso nal
remarks made"

Politics Of Maine.

The State of Maine has an articlr with
the above heading in which allusion is made
to the recent meeting of the Democratic State
Committee and the Sixth District. We
copy the paragraph below. John A. Pc
tiers Esq. seems to be always ready for a
$500 assessment for campaign in this
District, but the result has always been ad-
verse to his wishes. To use . Western
phrase, the Republicans wish he would
"dry up" in this particular. They don't
care 50 much about the speeches, but the
money is hard argument to get over.
1.-THE professed business of the State COM
mittee, was to devise means to pay off the
electioneering debts in Bion Bradbury's dis
trict The seven thousand dollar appropri-
alton was exhausted, and John A. Peters, it
is reported, added $500 on his own hook
and is now out Of pocket to that amount, as
Bion and Burns do not respond. The dis
closure of frauds IN Aroostook, among the
French voters, is likely to make some stir
among the people. The State committee
were anxious to pay off the old scores, be-
fore the Legislative investigation takes
place."

Speculation vs.. Fact,

General Lane, of Oregon. has been fsur-
ing up the population of Oregon, in the
Washington Union. Taking the census of 1850
and then the census of 1855, he coniectured
from the increase that Oregon has now about
10000 people. OF course. this increase WAS
taken for granted, notwithstanding the sus-
plcions OF many persons that the late Indian
wars and other causes had prevented an in
crease.
Having 10000 p pulation, Oregon was
entitled to come into the Union as a state ;
and it was important to show this result, in
order to justify those politicians, who are
willing to see Oregon admitted, hut not will
ing to see Kansas Oregon, they might saw
has the requisite number of inhabitants, but
Kansas has not. Unfortunately, however,
for these calculations, the last arrival from
California brought the following paragraph !:
POPULATION OF OREGON. census Of
Oregon territory, Just taken, shows the pop
ulation to be AZ, 1902. The number of voters
is stated to be 9,9lO - New York Post.

CALHOUN, WERsrKR AND Clay From the

CALHOUN, WEBSTER AND CLAY. From the
eloquent and impressive address Of the Vice
President,on leaving the old Senate Chamber,
we extract the following tribute to these illus
trious statesmen
There sat Calhoun, the Senate, inflexible,
austere, oppressed but not overwhelmed BY
his deep sense of the Importance o. his pub
lie functions, seeking the truth, then fear
lessly followed it; man whose unsparing
intellect compelled all his emotions to har-
monte with the deductions Of his vigorous
logic. and whose noble countenance habitu-
ally wore the expires sion Of one engaged in
the performance of high public duties.
This was Webster's seat. He, too, was
even such Senator. Conscious of his own
vast powers, he reposed with confidence on
himself; and scorning the contrivances of
smaller men, he stood among his peers all the
greater for the simple dignity Of his senator
ial demeanor Type of his northern home,
he rises before the imagination, in the grand
and granite outline of his form and intellect,
like great New England race, repelling a
New England wave. As a writer, his pro-
ductions will be cherished by statesmen and
scholars while the English tongue is spoken.
AS senatorial orator, his great efforts are
connected with this Chamber,
whose very air seems yet to vlbrate beneath
the strokes OF his deep tones and his weighty
words.
On the outer circle sat Henry Clay, with
his impetuous and ardent nature untamed by
age, and exhibiting in the Senate the same
vehement patriotism and passionate eloquence
that of yoro electrified the House of Repre-
sentatives and the country. His extraordna-
ry personal endowments, his courage, all his
noble qualities, invested him with an individ-
uality and Il charm of character which, in
any age, would have made him q favorite of
history. He loved his country above all
earthly objects lie loved liberty in all
Illustrious man orator patriot,
philanthropist-his light, at its meridian,
was seen and felt in the remotest parts of
the civilized world and his declining sun, as /
it fastened down the west, threw back its
evel beams, in hues of mclowed splendor, to I
illuminate and to cheer the land hs loved and /
erved so well.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Knowing that the sue

First, let me correct the impression
that the Board Of Agriculture and the

during long discussion participated in
BY not only the Members, but several gen.
tlemen outsiders, three facts. only. seemed
to be agreed upon,-frst, that no reme-

productive, but not acclimated, and
therefore unfit for the table. Whatever

breeds and the Grades formed from a

a wide margin for debate. The import.
