 .THE INAUGURATION.
 An immense crowd assembled to tb< inauguration on Tuesday of last week. The procession was the largest and finest seen in Washington since the war and much enthusiasm was manifested insspite of the extreme cold weather and sharr wind.
 The Presidents inaugural was short and business like, congratulating the country on the reconstruction of the South, de- handing equal civil rights for the negro, disclaiming all intention of pushing fur ther territorial extension by annexing San Domingo or any other foreign soil he fa- vors return to specie payments, the con struction of cheap routes of transporta- tion, the encouragement of manufactur- l ing, a lenient course towards the Indian 1 tribes, and civil service reform. He closes l with the following statement the truth oi l which there is no gainsaying Throughout the war and from my can- dldacy for my present office in 1868 to the close of the last Presidential campaign, l have been the subject of abuse and slan- der scarcely ever equaled in political his- tory, which today feel that I can disre- gard, in view of your verdict, which I gratefully accept as my vindication.
 
 HEALTH AND HOME by W. W. Hall, M. D.. is a new medical work designed for use in families It is written in pop ular style and contains vasiety of valua- ble information regarding the care of health and the avoidance of disease. It's merits as medical work we should be incompetent to criticise even if We had given it the careful perusal necessary to such criticism. It seems, however, we'll adapted to the ordinary uses of life, and would probably enable those possessing it to adopt the best measures for immedi- ate relief in case of accident or sudden disease, before physician can be called.
 We cannot express much satisfaction with the literary execution of this work. It abounds in common place advice that is hardly needed and can seldom be fol- lowed. For instance
 The very first case of young man who is about to marry, should be to select & woman of vigorous health from among those of his own religion, of his own neighborhood, and his own grade of so- ciety.
 Excellent advice, no doubt; but who will take it? Certainly not the man in love with young lady of some other re- igion, township, or grade in society, than his own. The cold-blooded youth who can go to work on Dr. Halls plan to 'sse- lect" wife is just the fellow that every girl of sense will refuse, considerations of religion, neighborhoood and grade in so- ciety to the contrary notwithstanding.
 We also notice tendency to that exag- geration and sensationalism which pro- fessional men are so apt to indulge in when they write in what they consider a popular" style. On page 242, we read, for instance, ''Lock-i jaw has frequently followed cutting hard corns; at other times, convulsions and death." No doubt such cases have occurred, but their fre- quency we very much doubt. Again, speaking or "DarDcrs ttoa-, g l-~ -'t-y.,.-. <
 ssIt ought to be very urgent necessity which should induce us to go into 8 strange shop for shave; better go un- shaven for a year than to run the risk of a disease which it takes year to cure. y
 Defects of literary taste are of small ac- count in work of this description, but a tendency to exaggerated statement cannot but detraot greatly from it's value. With all it's defects however, we consider this work a valuable one for family use.
