The peaceful enjoyment In advancing age,

power OF any 10 disturb. W.
We have this year enlarged our means Of
teaching some Of the branches OF study most
important 10 the medical student. Assist
ance has bean given TO the chair Of anatomy

demonstration OF that subject. A course Of
lectures Will DO given upon the special sub
lccts Of urinary pathology and therapeutics,
The subject Of physiology will be illustrated
by vivisections and other ample means to
convey thorough knowledge OF that most
vitality important branch OF knowledge; and
the teaching Of medical Jurisprudence has
been conldcd TO gentleman learned In that
subject, who will impart TO tho student such
as will render him competent to
duties before courts and juries on
matters Of life and death TO his fellow-men,
the preservation Of the morals Of the COM
at the same time promoting the ends
Of Justice. There Is, perhaps, no more i'm

IL have fairly stated, In these few re-
marks, the character Of the profession which
you have chosen, and what Is 10 be gained
by Its adoption, how much is there Of labor
before you, and devotion 10 those studies
which are 10 1t you to enter upon II with
credit. They must DO entered upon with
single eye TO their pursuit. They will bear
no comingllng with others. A miser's love
for his gold, or q lover for his mistress, Is
not more exacting. With this feeling there
IL no doubt Of success. without II all lie
failure. There Is no limit 10 ambition In this
sphere. Advancing In pathological deycl-
opments II may be reserved for some OF you
to discover means Of dlssolying the calcu-
lus In the bladder, to arrest by prophy lactic
measures the ravagcs OF cholera and yellow
fever, or destroying the germlnal movements
In tuberculosis, to preserve to society some
Of Its falrcst aud brightest ornaments, re-
store the smile OF happiness to the pallid
and anxious mother as she watches over the
fair aud lovely daughter Just advancing to
womanhood, condemned by hereditary dis
ease to be snatched from her Just as the
beauty Of bor physical, as well as intellcc-
tual, nature Is budding into life, dashing to
earth all her dearest and brightest hopes,

Position Of prominence In tho ranks Of
our profession Is worthy OF the ambition Of
any man. A medical man, eminent for his
skill and attachments, 10 entitled to the high
est consideration amongst men; and II he
adds to that, as no should do, the character
Of Christian gentleman, he has secured
not only renown here, but that eternal re-
ward which Is promised TO the good and
faithful.
The audience listened with marked inter-
est, frequently giving vent to bursts Of sp-
plause.
DR.. J. II. Thompson will deliver on intro
ductory lecture to his course upon physiology
this evening at = o'clock; -,
At s O'Clock tonight the Alumni Assocla-
ton hold meeting, which all members are
urged TO attend.
THE SRsaERBUsD's CoNcKRr.-To-mor-
row the grand concert Of the Washington
Sengerbund will take place at the National
theatre. While our citizens have always
entertained the most kindly feelings toward
this club since their success at the Baltimore
sengerfest, the feeling has increased to one
OF affectionate regard for those who have
shown themselves so superior In musical
ability as to carry of the prize, while clubs
from New York, Philadelphia, and other
large cities were among the contestants.
They proved conclusively that Washington
is a cultured city; that her citizens arc def.
cient In their appreciation Of the glorious art
music, and that a society OF vocalists exists
here which surpasses In excellence those OF
other cities Of greater pretentions.
The programme offered by the Bund Ia
probably superior to any which has ever been
presented here, embracing selections from
the works OF Beethoven, Verdi, Won Weber,
Abt, Kuechen, and others. The Bund will
be assisted by the Germania Mnnerchor, the
Alpine Quartette, and Miss Minnie Holtz.
man, Of Baltimore, Mrs. d. Morell, of this
city, who sang so sweetly at the Arion's con.
cert the other evening, and full orchestra.
Professor Carl Richter, the leader Of the
Sengerbund, Is to be the musical director,
which Is . sufficient guarantee Of complete
success, while Professor Lenschow, Of Balti.
more, will lead the Menerchor.
Let our musical people exhibit their ap.
probation OF the good work that this Ger.
man club has done for us by crowdiug the
theatre for them tomorrow night.

volyed q considerable cost.

duced tho thing to such perfect system tina,
