Mr.. Wilton was very obcdient, acquiescine

much less than he paid for them, that hi
wife might be nursod back to life and
health. Aud be could but rejoice at the
sacrifice when he saw her eyes grow bright
aud her step elastic.
"Siay as long as you please" was his
parting message TO his wife, as he badc her
adieu at the door Of the HOMESTEAD.
Six months Susan Wilton stayed in the
home nest. Oh, what a joyous thorough
rest was that 1t seemed so good to van

The poor WORKOUT woman drank 10 every
moment Of JOY as though she knew the cup

But with returning health came a strong
desire to return home and to its duties

thankful heart. But the old life with It's
ceaseless round Of work and toll without

GTThe World recently published a
long article upon the sanitary condition of
New York, and a map Of that portion of
the city south of Fifty.ninth street, show
ing the density of its population. There
are four blocks where the population aver
ages at the rate of 100000 to the square
mile. The map shows Gordon of nui-
sances on the water front, both east and
west. There are twenty blocks where the
population averages $50, 900 to the square
mile. The maximum density of popula-
ton for health fixed by English sanitarians
is 81 200 to the mile. The air on that
portion of Broadway, to which Crosby
street is a parallel, and on Pearl street, be-
sides many other localities occupied by
those during the day whose homes are more
or less comfortable and entirely healthful
in the suburbs, ispronounced as pestilential
as the air preceding plague. If we may
believe the Worlds statistics, the amount
of dirt, filth and garbage in the less fash
ioua6le and public streets is beyond esti
mate, and the city extends an open invita-
ton to a great calamity.

O-It is not often that public man
visiting Salt Lake city tells Mr. Brigham
Young so much wholesome truth as did Mr..
Speaker Blaine, a few days ago. He as
sured the Mormon leader distinctly that
Utah could never be admitted as State
until poly gamy was given up, and be fur.
thermore gave the old gentleman to under
stand that Congress and the country could
get along fully as well without Utah in the
Union as she herself could. 1t is well to
have little truth told to Brigham occa.
sionally, and the frank aud plain utterancei
of Speaker Blaine in the Mormon presence
are in refreshing contrast to the half fawn
ing and half apologizing spirit which many
tourists who are bold enough at home
manifest when they get into the Mormon
domain.

Messrs. Editors Recently | have seen in
the public prints several accounts Of the late
trial Of the hom@paths before a Commission Of
the Massachusetts, Medical Society, calculated
to mislead and prejudice the public mind in
regard to the merits Of the case In the first
place, these accounts are all n parfe and truth
fol or not, Improperly made public by interest
ed persons, contrary to the custom and rules OF
the society to which they belong
For instance-what church. nay what ty-
biographical society would wish all It's proceed
ings in questions Of discipline 10 be pnraded in
sensational reports, with prejudcia comments?
The Massachusetts, Medical Society has always
.trven to throw a veil over the sins Of offend
ing members, and if forced to expel them, to
do 80 with quiet and decorum.
1t should be remembered that the members
Of the Massachusetts, Medical Society in be-
coming such have associated themselves to-
gether under constitution and bylaws deem
ed By them important and most conducive to
the advancement Of medical truth and the best
interests Of society in relation to the proven
ton and cure of disease. Where man yolun-
tarily joins a society promises to abide by its
| BY laws, and subscribes to them with his own
sign manual the least that can be expected OF
him is that he will conform to these bylaws,
or, If he finds himself unable TO do 81, that he
will peacibly withdraw. Not TO do this is con-
duct unbecomng and unworthy a member Of
any society. 10 remain in it while acting or
believing, or protesting to believe, in opposition
to the letter and spirit Of its bylaws cannot
be considered anything less than dishonorable
Yet such is precisely the position of the hom-
mpathc members of the Massachusetts, Medical
Society.
Say you " If they do not choose to withdraw
let them remain, not give them notoriety by ex
pulsionf We would ask whit honest member
could thus tacitly tolerate and countenance
what be has satisfactory reasons for believing
delusiye, false, or fraudulent. His duty to the
society and the cause it represents should not
allow It's enemies and trnducers the prestige
of membership That the Massachusetts Med.
ical Society has the right to expel members for
good reasons was shown at an earlier stage Of
these cases, by the court before which they
were brought referring them, for want of iuris
diction, back to the Society for adjustment.
If Medical Society in accordance with it,
constitution and bylaws cannot within tho
privacy of its own sessions vote to expel from
its membership " those medical skephcs icht
maintain The whoie science Of Materia Medicc
10 be a relic Of niedauial superstition " withou
being guilty of very ungentlemanly conduct, ;
then certainly they have as a Society no RICH
to exist. p.

OJ-Seventeen thousand emigrants arrived
in New York last week, from Europe, Sta.
tstics show that emigrants bring into this
country on an average about 500 EACH
Consequently the landing of those emigrauts
at Castle Garden increased the valuation Of
this country by about one million and three
quarters of dollars, bard cash The pecu-
mary value of the emigrant himself, j. G.,
the profit to the nation of his prospective
labor, has been shown by some very curious
estimates to be not far from $1,000 So
we have the personal value of these emf
grants sl7,000,000, so that altogether the
country was enriched by emigration 10 the
last week nearly sl9,000,000. This influx
will keep up during all the summer months,
far more than balancing the outflow Of
wealth scattered in foreign lands by Amer
lean tourists. So much for the pecuniary
view of emigration, though of course we
cannot too often remember that the moral
character of this emigration, in its future
influence on our society and politics, i:
far more important than any question Of
dollars.

O-The Chicago Ocean truthfully
says: There are abundant reasons why
county papers and exchanges should be
transmitted free. We give millions every
year to support free schools, because We
believe that general diffusion of intelli-
gence will contribute to the general in
terests of society. But the press to-day is
the greatest educator, and anything that en-
courages and develops active and intelligent
journalism deserves the friendly countenanct
of the Government. A general interchange
of newspapers enables the journal publish
ed in the remotest section of the country tc
spread before its reader summary of new,

Complaint has formerly been madc-and
not without reason, as we can testify that
this venerable city, so famous in our histo-

nevertheless destitute of decent hotel for

interested in the Naval Academy, and all
visitors to the city, may well congratulate
themselves.

We hail this movement as a step in the
right direction, and commend the action as
one not only likely to benefit underwriters,
but also to protect the public from whole.
sale loss. This action is the more i'm.
portaut when it is remembered that the ex.
perience Of the large companies transacting
the business Of fire insurance in the United
States shows that the proportion of loss to
be attributed to the above causes is not less
than thirty.three per cent. of the whole, OF
a loss to the country of at least twenty-five
millions of dollars per annum.

accident was not caused by any defect Of
material or mismanagement of the railroad
company, but was caused by break in the
dam over which they had no control, the dam
being, in the judgment of competent authori.

recommends that passenger cars be provided

increased protection for stoves.
