We have already noticed that Mr.. W. F.
Story, of the Chicago Times, has charged
that the physician of his late wife, DIR. A.
Johnson, was guilty of "eross recklesness,
carelessness and neglect" i'm his attendance
upon that lady, and that her death was has
tened by him. OF course such . charge 20
explicitly stated, from such we'll known
.ource, has caused quite bree re in the social
and medical circles Of Chicago. Mr.. Story
has jus, published card bearing upon the
subject, which we copy below Is the case is
one Of general interest and importance. He
says:
had hoped that no further occasion
would arise for public reference BY me to the
mstter of my accusation which have deem.
ed il my duly to make against DR.. II. A.
johnson. But the action of . dozen menu
bers of the Chicago Medical Society, most
of whom are chiefly distinguished for their
obscurity in the profession, in holding
meeting and adopting . report white-wash-
ing DR.. johnson, seems 10 require . word
of replication.
The report adopted BY these members OF
the Chicago Medical Society does not meet,
as Dr. johnson does not attempt to meet, the
one essential point in my accusation against
him. That point is. not simply thar he ad-
minis.ered dangerous medicines, uncertain
in their effect 1t all times, and doubly 20 in
the peculiar condition Of the patSent-as

subsequently, morphine, sggravating the ef-
feet OF the choral toward coneeaion-but
that he administered them with reckless
careleszness; that he did not wait. or return,
to see their effect, and to correct, BY anti
dote, any i'll effect, but left the patient TO the
chances Of whatever might be their unoer-
tain effect. and placed himself beyond recall.
This is tie accusation, and neither Dr.. John

The Vienna correspondent of the Bilti-
more AmeIicaa speaks Of marriage in that
city: "a mans wealth il often estimated
BY the number of mattresses he keeps, and
the magnifcence OF their eqnipages, dia-
monds, and dresses. There is no city in the
world, not even Paris, that can rival the
metropolis of Austria in immortality, and in
these respects there is universally Of senti-
ment that is quite remarkable. Ten years
ago it was regarded az somewhat degrading
TO the female to live without marriage. Now
no woman il considered a. having lowered
herself mu III in the esteem Of her neighbOrs
unless she becomes brazen courtezin. The
laws regulating marriage are, have ascer-
tanned, different from those Of any ether
civilized nation. The church is forbidden r.
marry any man or woman without the con-
sent Of their parents. The parties proposing
marriage must also have the written cOnsen,
of the burgomaster and authorities of the
place Of their nativity. which will not Ike
given unless they can prove that they have
means sufficient to support family and
will not become charge upon the CON-
munily. During the three years
which every able bodied man is re-
CURED to serve in the army, he is not per-
mNteu " hiaiiys "iahouI be s'"S o'So TUG
consent Of the Secretary of War, or the
General under whose command he il serv-
ing. Some of these laws can be evaded BY
gong 10 some other section Of the country;
but the bars to marriage are 80 great, and
the difficulties 10 be overcome 40 numerous
that they generally prefer to do without the
ceremony, and start of ia lie just "a 90
many o. their neighbnrs and friends have
done before them. There is a recent Law
intended to protect the female in thes
left-handed marriages. II she ascertain-
that her "man," by whom che has children,
il about to contract marriage, she can enter
protest and put stop to the ceremony. 1t
does not, however, prevent him from aband
oning the mother of his children and famil-
iarly taking up with his new love, just a. he,
in days long past, took up with her. The
novels daily published here all recognize
this new phase Of life, and the most popular
are those which represent their heroes and
heroines az falling in love with and clipping
with husbands and wives. Matrimony is
ignored entirely in most of them. The
marriage ceremony is daily growing more
unpopular, and bids fair soon to become in
Vienns-at least, 10 be regarded-as one Of
tie folliss Of past generation.

A clear, sharp voice was soon heard in

"Heavies," and Nolan galloped around to

General Benjamin F. Bates,
My DEAR SIR:-You have doubtless
heard of the con,rac. between the Graphic
Company and Messrs. Wise and Donaldson.
whereby these two gentlemen undertake to
cross the Atlantic OCEAN in balloon Of vast
capacity and carrying power, which il now
in process of construction. The Gfuphic
Company, DESTROYS OF securing the services
of ore of the best writers and foremost men
in the country, a. historigrapber Of The ex-
peditinn, take pleasure in Offering this posi-
ton to you, as a recognition of your eminent
abilities, and your unsurpassed style Of vigor,
incisiveness, and pictorial power. The bal
loon will sail about the 2),h Of August next;
and, thinking that At this sultry and de-
pressing season you would probably enjoy a
temporary relief from you arduous labors,
and the novel experience and needed re-
freshmeIt the expedition would furnish, We
offer you the position, with the hope that
you will give the proposal a favorable con-
sideration. Whatever the people OF Massa-
chusetts may do in the coming election, the
Graphic Company is willing TO afford you
an opportunity to reach higher elevation
than any to which even the snffraSes Of a
free people can carry yon. Yours very re.

and employees Of the corporations, has al
ready been viola'ed. A Chicago bailifi, Who
he'd performed some important services for
the Illinois Central railroad. desired to make
a journey, and thought be was entitled to a
free ride over that road. He went to the
attorney OF the a1l.. :.luy and stated his case,
and was promised pass. The attorney
wrote to the President, demanding the cour-
tesy for the bailiff The Presiden, responded
that he could not, in the face Of the recent
agreement, issue it. The legal gentleman
wrote ag in. saying he would moi serve
company which would not honor bis re-
quests for passes. The upshot of the matter
was that the President weakened and issned
the pass. The Chicago and Alton company
