The Medical Ass0ciatfon-A Grand
Republican Caue Ifs-Stanton's VIII.
THE NPDICAI. ASSOCIATION.

|
WASHINGTON, Nav 3.-There
was something Of crowd
present this morning when the Ameri'
can Medical Association opened, be
cause everybody interested thought
there might be a muss over the question
of giving the negro doctor his rights.
The committee on Credentials submit,
ted majority and minority reports, the
former excluding delegates from socie,
ties that admit colored physicians to
consultation. There was much excite,
ment on the reading of the reports, and
in general discussion had been allowed,
things promised to be very lively. DR..
Davis, of Chicago, adroitly STAYED it of
by moving to send the whole subject to
another committee, which may or may
not report tomorrow. The question OF
color is mixed up with a half dozen
other quarrels among the medical men
of this District, and it will be hard
matter to get at square vote on that
distinct issue. There is a small row in
the Massachusetts delegation growing
out of Dr. Storer's differences with the
State Medical Society, but the associa-
ton will undoubtedly send this matter
home for settlement.
\ GRAND REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
\ document looking to the future
political purposes of the Republican
party has been drawn up by promi-
nent Western Senator, and has been
signed by every Republican in the Sen
ate. To-day it was circulated among
the Republican members of the House,
and signed so far as it was presented.
The object is to convene grand eau
Gus of all the Republicans in Congress,
there being over two hundred mem
bers, for the purpose of devising ways
and means, and setting forth the issues
which the party will present to the
country on the coming fall elections for
members of the House of the Forty
second Congress. 1t is intended to
constitute grand Campaign committee
to furnish documents, &c, and espe-
cially to look after the condition of the
Radical party in the Southern States
where the contest is represented as
likely to be close, with a fair prospect
of Conservative results. This caucus
will be held probably next week, and it
will be more important than an ordi-
nary caucus, from the fact that it will
make declaration of principles.

Position and Rest.

THE only position of the body which
requires no muscular exertion is lying. 1t
is the proper attitude ofirepose, and one
in which feeble strength can be longest
preserved. We may sit in different pos
lures, but in every sitting position the
muscular organism is taxed more or less.
To sit easily the back must be supported,
for otherwise we have the permanent con-
traction of the posterior muscles of the
trunk, and are soon fatigued, as we may
easily learn by trying to extract comfort
from a three legged stool. When seated
on chair, with the hack supported, the
muscles are slow to contract, and cOnse-
quently we are not so liable to fatigue. If
we want to be comfortable in our sitting
rooms, we should use long chairs in order
that the back and head may be supported
But if we are bored by disagreeable call
ers. short-backed chairs are the proper
articles of furniture for the parlor. For
then we are assured that we bore our
friends while they are doing their best to
bore US, and possibly the fatigue traced to
contracting muscles will cause them to
cut short their calls. Cushioned chairs,
long, and so arranged as to enable one to
adopt a recumbent position, must be
classed among the true luxuries of this
advanced age. Reclining in one of them
we experience little fatigue, since we keep
the muscles from contraction, while the
soft yielding cushion permits an equal
distribution of pressure upon all the diff
ferent points of the body corresponding
to the base of support.-Ihrf, Field and
Farm. ''s}f

A Curious Story.
--G4..N 49,

=. =
AS the story goes, a carpenter in the
south of France borroweda a sum of money
from neighbor, and, being unable to pay
it, he made, at the suggestion of his
friends wife, two handsome coff1ns and
gave them in payment The coffins were
placed in anupper room devoted to the
storage of pickles, preserves, &c, and, for
convenience sake, these articles were laid
safely away in the coffins. By and by the
husband died; and one of the coffins was
cleaned out, the preserved fruit, pickles,
etc, put into the other, and the hus.
band laid out in state. On the
dny Sefrethe funeral the. coffin was
carried Ito the church and mass
said by the priest. From the church the
coffin was borne to the grave, where a
friend pronounced touching eulogy that
drew tears from all present, the coffin was
lowered, the earth thrown in, and the
company dispersed. A few days after.
some friends called to condole with the
widow, and before their departure, being
Hospitality inclined, she went up to the
store-room to procure some cake and other
articles to set before them. Opening the
coffin, she started back with scream that
alarmed her visitors below, who, rushing
up to the room, beheld dreadful sight
the face of the dead husband stared at
them from out the opened coffin.

The Lion in His Old Age.

When young lion reaches the age of
two years, he is able to pull down horse
or an OK; and so he continues to grow
and increase in strength till he reaches his
eighth year, when his talons, teeth and
name are perfect, and he grows no more.
For twenty years after he arrives at ma
turity, the talons and fang show no signs
ofdecay; but after that he gradually grows
feeble, his teeth fail him, and he grows
"cubbish." He is no longer match for
the tremendous buffalo; he prowls around
the cattle kraals, and snatches lamb or
kid, just as he did when he set out with
his parents nearly thirty years before. A
woman or child at night shares the same
fate. His strength and sight now decline
more and more, till the mighty lion grows
lean and NANCY, and crawls about from
place to place, eating any offal he can pick
up, and despising not even so small an
animal as the field-mouse; and he starves
and dies, or is fallen on and slaughtered
bya few cowardly hyenas, or is discovered
unable to move beneath tree, and knock
ed on the head by some wandering Kaffir

THE spots on the sun are exciting a
great deal of attention among the astronr
Omers at present. There are two rival
theories in regard to sun spots. M. Faye
considers that the nucleus of the sun is so
highly disorganized by heat that it is fee
bly, luminous, and that the light of the
sun is caused by the condensation of the
incandescent particles in the cooler re-
gions of the photosphere, and that a sun
spot is caused by an ap-rush of the disso-
ciated matter into the cooler photosphere.
Messrs. De La Rue, Stewart, and Loewy
suppose that the spot is caused by the
down-rassh of the cool atmosphere of the
sun into the photosphere. l
