Pro Bono ss+pblico EseUlEed 70,

FRO Bono Hepblico Replied To.
To the Editor of the Press:
In reply to your correspondent, F. L. W.,
under the heading "Pro Bono Publico" in
your issue of Saturday morning, 1 beg leave to
say,
First, That my residence is at 444 Congress
street, not two minutes walk from my store,
and in dark nights is lighted by street lamp
directly in front of it,.and l will cheerfully
serve any person who may really stand in need
of medicine at any hour of the night, except in
case Of absence from the city or personal i'll
ness, either of which rarey occurs.
Second, That my partner who lives over the
store, is always ready to do the same, and will
continue 10 hold himself in readiness for such
service
Third, That any apparent Indifference or un-
willingness to respond to night calls, must be
laid at the door of thoughtless or edruuken
night-walkers, whose stupid and cowardly
practical jokes, such as furious ringing of his
door-bell or banging at the door, breaking his
rest ana alarming and waking his children aud
family for the mere "fun" of the thing, discour-
age him from answering genuine calls, and
compel him to protect himself by separating
the bell from the bell-rull, and incommode
and annoy real sufferers, both physician and
| patient, by the delay. 1t these Jokes came
home to the perpetrators it would not be so
much matter.
Fourth, That people who call US from our
beds to furnish a quarter pound of salts, dose
Of castor oil, an ounce of paregoric or little
goose grease, stick OF candy, postage stamp
| or cigar, must not be surprised if they are ex-
pected to pay fifty cents, for. what would cost
them but five or ten cents if called for in regu-
| lar business hours.
shall leave my confreres in the business to
| speak for themselves with regard to their ar.
engagements for dispensing medicine during thu
night, and bope that which 1 have said above
may hereafter serve some unfortunates from .
two hours tramp, and the police some bother
it those needing medicine in the night, will
but come directly to my house, when all that
can do for them, will be done as cheerfully and
| promptly as possible.

ENGLAND's REASON.
II is stated under good authority that the
movement of England for an armistice is in
uuced oy apprehensions of Interior designs on
Tue Tue part OF Russia and Prussia to form close
asllance. The fact that Russia is quietly and
ea.ec:tlvely armng is well known, despite her
9ms'al denials. England begins to see that
tnat the utter prostration of France would de-
9rive her of the only strong ally that can be
appended on for the Illustration of Rnssia's no.
Htcal schemes in the East. An uneasy feel
ing prevails in financial circles, and itsis antic-
lpated that, should the efforts of England fail.
she will adopt other stronger measures to Sc
cure the cessation of the war.
