y. though the CInlnins' secession hasllai very
little effect upon the Episcopal Church in the
way OF drawing from it either lay or clerical
members, it is evident that the calises which
led te it have deeply stirred the communion,
anu that the next General Convention, which
meets at New York this fall, wilk have need
of all the calm and conservative thought that
has usually characterized its councils in order
TO meet and satisfactorily settle the vexedques-
tiolis OF church doctrine ana ecclesiastical dis
clpllne which will linquestionably come before
it. In all Or nearly all the diocesan conven-
IONS SO far held, the fact that these questions
VIII come up for action has been recognized,
anu either by positive declaration Of opinion or
by struggle over the selection OF delegates to
the General Convention, the diocesan organi-
cations have Indicated their sympathies with
one side or the other of the controversy. The
action of the Pennsylvania diocese was pub
lished last week. This week the New Jersey
convention, by very decided vote, rouffirmed
the sentiment of the pastoral letter Of the
BISHOPS issued three years ago, viz: First, that
flttlallSm is a matter Of taste until it becomes
the expression of doctrine; second, that what
ever encourages eucharistic alteration is unwar-
ranted in administering the Holy Communion.
Inc resolutions close by expressing confidence
that whatever action the General Convention
may take, it will proceed upon the principles
Indicated by the utterances of the Upper House.
In the Maryland Convention, which adjourned
yesterday, no formal expression OF opinion was
attempted, but in the contest over the election
OF delegates and in the discussion on the adj
mission of a recently formed rtualistic church
into union with the convention, it was shown
that the subject Here, as elsewhere, had entered
largely into tlleathoughts Of churchinen, and
that the necessity for some authoritative decis-
ion was generallyaecognized The results Of
these diocesan contests have so far very gener-
ally established the preponderiting strength Of
the conservative element in the Church as OPP
posed both to the extremes of rtualism and
Cummlnsm, and all the indications are that
the same sentiment will be reflected in large
majority OF the delegates to the General Con

PREvENrIvEs OF HYDRoPHoBIA. = AT
meeting Of the New York Medical Society, on
Tuesday 2jth lllt., Dr.. Charles p. Russell spoke
IN detail OF the terrible disease, hydrophobia.
Among Other things he said Its origin among
brutes was still an object of discussion. Man
WAS only liable to it from incubation. Many
superstitions as to its origin among animals
were siloWnto be without foundation, and there
was every reason to believe that in some coun-
tries among animals the disease often assumed
an epidemic form. The popular opinion re-
garaing 'dog-days,' and that in summer there
Was greater liability Of mad dogs, was false
one. Weather had no tendency to this effect.
No animal was exempt from it, and it was easily
transmitted to mankind, and even from an al
hicted man to the animal. CaIterization OF the
wound was found tobe the only successful rem
edy. lie described at some length the symp-
toms and different stages Of hydrophobia in the
dog, and spoke Of the danger experienced i'll
their careless fondling. As a preventive all
worthless ours should be destroyed, he said, as
among them the disease seemed to originate.
Muzzles he considered most pernicious con-
trivance. Their purpose was but half served
at best, and the danger in case of disease in
creased from their removal from the dog when
at home. In conclusion, he said every dog man
ifesting any unusual symptoms of disease
should be carefully attended to and strictly
quarantined until recovery was sure
