written by DR.. Seavey, which suddenly disap.
peared, and which, as it would appear. he ar
cused DR.. Sanger of stealing. After consider.
able debate the matter of publication was in.
definitely postponed
1t is evident that Bangor doctors are not q
happy family.
No sooner was this matter settled than auoth
er ample of discOrd was thrown into the assem-.
bly, by DIR. Putnam of Bath, who desired thai
each member OF the association should give
two dollars to the Maine General Hospital fund.
The Doctor said he wished to rebuke the homoe
opathists of Bath, who were condemning the
Hospital. 1t was evident that the association
wished to condemn the 'little pil'' men also
but it wasn't prepared to condemn them two
dollars worth. So the prop 'sition was voted
paid from the funds of the society with view
to rebukiDg those who advocate minute pellets
to the Hospital.
DIR. Gordon of Portland rose and said that the
homeopathsts of Portland were working nobly
Tor the Hospital Fair, and that no rebuke was
called for This statement aroused suspicion
in the minds of the Orthodox that a ward ii
the hospital must have been promised to the
little pll'' people in consideration of their co.
operation. Some went so far as to say that nc
help was wanted from the homeopathists.
DR.. Swasey of Limerick stated that he haG
were working because they believed IN the en-
terprise, and not in expectation of ward :
Even this statement did not lull suspicion, and
DR. Gilman found it necessary TO assure the
meeting that none but the v-ry largest pills
should ever be used at the hospital. The mo-
tiOn of DR.. Putnam was then put to vote and
refused a passage. Up rose the irrepress bic
Bath physician and moved that $3.50 be giver
to the hospital. This sum was voted,
DR.. O'Bron of Bristol read a paper on vac.
cipation, which was referred to the Committee
on Publication. A discussion on the subjec
then took place, participated in by Drs: Foster
Harlow. Sanger. Meserve Putnam and others
Stroug ground was taken in favor of the pre-

CARLYLE's SENSE OF HUMoR. -" Far
be it from me to say" says Carlyle, "that
solemnity is an essential of greatness ;
that no great man can have other thdn
a rigid vinegar aspect Of countenance,
never to be thawed or warmed by bill
lows of mirth. There are things in this
world to be laughed at as we'll as to be
admired, and there is no complete mind
that cannot give to such sort its due.
Nevertheless, contempt is dangerous
element to sport in; deadly one if we
habitually live in it. How, indeed, to
take the lowest view of this matter, shall
man accomplish great enterprises, en-
during all toll, resisting temptation,
laying aside every weight, unless he
zealously love what he pursues The
faculty of love, of admiration, is to be
regarded as the sign and the measure Of
high souls; unwisely directed it leads
many evils, but without it there cannot
be any good. Ridicule, on the other
hand is indeed faculty much prizedby
it's possessors, yet intrinsically it is q
small faculty, we may say the smallest
of all faculties that other men are al
the pains tie repay with esteem. 1t is
directly opposed to thought, to knowl'
edge, properly SO called its nourish
mentand essence is denial, which hoverf
only on the surface.

The Battle of Business.

Henry Ward Beecher lectured on
Thursday evening in Music Hall, Bos-
ton, on the Battle of Business" He
gave it as the result of his observation
that no other occupation made such de-
mands on the nervous energy of men,
was so beset with inducements to dis.
honesty, as mercantile life. The fault
is not that men do not want to be hon
est, but that the majority of them do
not know how to be. They think it is
all right to do as others do; or, more
likely, they initiate without thinking at
ali of the moral quality of the act.
Mr.. Beecher was especially severe on
stock gamble S, saying that they de-
served the halter if any criminals did.
The only consolation in reviewing the
career of these men was the assurance
that few of them kept their ill-gotten
wealth long. He had lived to see six
or eight kings of Wall street dethroned.
Iu the stife of business men regard
only the end, and do not scruple much
about the means. If it seems neccessa-
ry to buy a legislature to insure the
prosperity of their schemes they buy
one, All the great corporations know
the price of the old members of a legis.
lature, and quickly find out what the
new ones can be had for. The men who
are bought the easiest over, the cheap.
est, are the farmers, not because they
are in fact more venal, but because in
their simplicity shey are compromised
and involved before they know it. The
lawyers and merchants, more accus.
toned to the arts of schemers, are more
wary. They have to be tished for more
patiently, and are only secured at Q
large expense.
Speaking of the power of the great
corporations of the country, Mr.
Beecher declared that if the New Yorl
Central, Erie and Pennsylvania Central
companies should conspira to do it
they could elect-ahe president of the
United States.

NOVELTIES IN JEwELRY.-Among the
unique jewels chronicled are those of
finely cut jet, associated with garnets
Or other bright red stones. These are
said to be very effective, and popular
ity is prepioted for them. The Persian
iewelry is combination of brilliant
stones of various colors set in one
brooch. The designs are miniature cop
les of the intricate figures represented
in Persian scarfs, shawls, carpets, etc.
The iOurneyings of the shah and his
gorgeous display of jewels have proba-
bly, brought this fashion about The
oxidized silver now most in vogue is al
most as dark as iron. Highly polished
platinum, it is said, will take the place
of dark silver, and will be iashionably
combined with gold.

FATALITIES FROM TIGHTENING. The
human mortality from Tightening is not
generally on large scale, and might be
much reduced by precauton on the part
of the builders; 30 thinks the Building
News. Arago estimated that the number
of deaths from this cause amounted in
France to about 70 in the year; Bondin
calculated that from 1885 to 1852 l 1,308
50 perished none in November, Decem-
beS January, or February, but most
in June and August. The lowest rate
is assigned to Belgium, and the next to
Sweden, the United States and Eng
land being about on par. As a rule,
however, these fatalities do not occur
inside structure Of any kind. The
peril, as experience shows, is less in a
crowded town than in a village or in the
open country, and, naturally, the more
elevated structures are the most liable
to be struck. Fuller, indeed, in his
"Church History" asserts that there
scarcely ever existed a great abbey in
England which had not been at one
time or another, wholly or partially de-
stroyed by tightening, and his citations,
taken in comparison with the records of
our own times, are certainly remark
able. In all cases it is the spire, the
tower and the dome which has been
mutilated As to ordinary habitations,
all sorts of theories are in vogue on the
subject of danger and safety. Some
rely on thick glass in the windows, and
some on register stoves others reco-
mend stone roofs instead of slate, and
others tell timid people that they should
live III hollow. 1t is contended on
this side that there should be the least
possible admixture of metal in the COM
bination of an inhabited structure and
on at, that all the bells beneath the
roof should be kept continually ringing,
just as, in obedience to an old super
stition, cannon are fired at sea. The
mass OF evidence upon this topic points,
however, to the one conclusion already
suggested, that good lightning con-
ductor is the solitary safeguard; but
that, unless good, it is worse than none.

DIsIEFRoTANT. One drachm OF dry
iodine, placed in suitable open vessel
in sick room, is said to be among the
best articles used for this purpose
The usual objection of its disagreeable
odor is of minor consequence when
health and life are at stake. The va
pors Of the iodine will discolor the
ceiling or plastered walls for time,
but the color will gradually disappear.
Idoform, used in the same way, is quite
as good and less offensive TO the sense
of smell besides it does not discOlor
the walls, but il is more expensive than
the other.

SLEEVELESS JAcKETs.--A garment
destined to increase in popularity dur
ing the autumn is the sleeveless spencer,
in all materials, faille, satin, velvet,
and for the winter entirely of fur,
grebe, or ermine for light full-dress,
and mink or black fur for darker and
more simple toilettes. The shape Of
the spencer is quite plain, like that of a
close.fitting vest, long, and with large
fiat basques. 1t will also bo made Of
velvet, edged with q marrow band of fur
feathers. Ostrich feathers; short and
of the natural color, will be most fire.
