DAY, OF YALE COLLEGE.
The Transactions of the Connecticut State
Medical Society contain paper from Professor
S. G. Hubbard, Of New Haven. in relation to the
cure Of the late Rev. jeremiah Day, former presi-
dent of Yale College, of tubercular consumption.
President Day, ,durnglearly fe gave little promise
OF loDg life, and when IN 1889, in his seventeenth
year, he entered Yale College, he was soon COM
PEELED 10 leave from pulmonary difficulty. He
rallied, however, and was able to finish the course
and graduate in 1875. He was very feeble. how
ever, for many years. He became clergyman.
and in 1901, was elected professor Of mathematics
and natural history in the college. But be could
not undertake the duties. An alarming honor
rahage Of the lungs prostrated him, which was
treated " learnedly" by beediDgs copious enough
to have charmed even Doctor Sangrado. He
went 10 Bermuda. where he was piled with digi-
tails 10 such an extent almost TO take what
little life was left. He came back to his native
town Washington, Connecticut, to die.
He suffered from continued hemorrhage and
repeated venesectiOns. till he happened TO meet
Doctor sheldon, of Litchfeld, who had made the
treatment with iron hobby. He expressed q
belief that Mr.. Day could be helped. Though the
case was regarded as hopeless, the patient was
placed under the care Of DR.. Sheldon, who treated
him with iron and casays bark, feeding him
carefully with wholesome food. Under this
regimen be soon exhibited indications OF improve
ment; end finally, in lsO3 returned home as one
restored from the dead, in sufficient vigor TO be
inaUgurated in the professorship. be never AFTER

although be had been affected by II for more than
twelve years. He lived till August, 1867, and was
ninety five years old at the time OF his death.
The cavity Of the thorax was examined, to as
certain the traces Of his former malady. Only
about pint of serum was found; the lungs were
every where free from tubercIe. and were apPsr-
emily healthy. In the apex OF each lung was
found dense. corrugated circular eicatrix, an
inch and half or more IN diameter. Also, q

DANIEL WEBSTER AND GALES AND SEAToN.
Charles Lehman contributes to the New York Post
some reminitcenses Of Messrs. Gales aud Seaton,
the well known editors Of the National lntelli-
gencer in the good old days OF yore. 70 these are
appended the following concerning Daniel Web
ster:
On ole occasion, when Mr.. Webster was in the
Senate, he had, in company with brother sena'
tor waited upon the editors OF the National Intel
ligencer, and when the visitors were about enter
ing thei- eGrrisge. Mr.. Webster was heard 10 make
this remark: "1hose, sir. are two Of the wisest
and best heads 10 this country; as 70 Mr.. Gales,
be knows more Of the history of this government
than all tie political writers Of the day put to-
g6ther.n
Although the intimacy which existed between
the tditors Of the Integencsr and Mr.. Webster
was most cordial and Of long standing, there was
something like hTothery affection IN that between
Br. Seaton and the great statesman. They sym.
psthzed with each other in all their pleasures, read
the ssme hooks, cherished the same friends, re-
called 70 a great extent the came memories con-
Bected with public men and events, had their
sporting moods in common, and probably enjoyed
as many good dinners together IS any other men
of their time. During the twenty or thirty years
of Mr.. Webster's residence in Washington, there
was no private Individual there with whom his re-
laii0ns Of intimacy were 50 close as those with
Seaton. Il might be added, too, that there was
no person ont OF his family 10 whom he was so
mueh attached. part OF almost every evening,
when not engaged at home OF elsewhere, he
spent in the drawing room OF Mr.. seatoD, with
the ladies of his family. or tste tete with him IN
winter at the fresids, or in the evening stros in
GUNNER.
The evening preceding the delivery of the
speech in reply 70 Col. Hayne By Mr. Webster, he
spent with Mr.. SeatOn at his residence. When,
near midnight, the governor was about to leave
