Duelling is IA be legalized in Germany, and
"Councils OF Honor" are to be formed TO con-
siGer personal difficulties betseen officers in the
army, TO f1jrst them if possible, aud il not to
officially authorize a duel. Officers fighting
under such circumstances will not be subject
to Grin nal prosecution. This regulation may
seem OF Questionable propriety, but t.ere can
be 10 doubt that IT will have tendency to d.
ninish the number OF duels. 1t VIII probably
be the determination of this council of honor
TO prevent all duels, IL Possible. by effecting a
compron''e, and Lot to give permita authoriz-
ing parties to fight it out except In very rare
cases. As it Is, officers having personal contro-
versies will insist upon settling their grievances
with sword or pistol, but hereafter they will be
compelled to refer their difficuIties 70 this
council Of honor for arbitrament.

The Twelve New Senators.

Whether the Democrats can succeed il
the next Presidential contest will depend
very much upon the conduct OF their sena
tots and representatives in the forty fourth
congress, The Opposition in that conCros S
will not only have large majority in
the House. but their ranks will cmbody a
due proportion OF its craftsmanship and
| political experience.
But how will it be in the senate? In
the course Of the winter, and chiefly in
January, the Democrats will elect dozen
new senator's. Since . rant was elected t.
the Presidency the Democracy have had
the opportunity of sending more than
twenty members to the senate With one
or two exceptions they are all there now
After We have mentioned Thurman and
BaWard, will anybody name those who
rise above the dead level OF medlocrity ?
10 think OF throwing away seats upon such
lneapables as llager Of California, Bogy o.
Missouri, Norwood Of Georgia, Salisbury
OF Delaware, Johnston of Virginia, Dennis
OF Maryland, and 81 on. OF how little use
is it to win victories whose fruits are to be
thus wasted?
We are not certain that the Democrats
are gong to act any more wisely in select
Jug occupants Tor the dozen seats now
within their reach. Very few names are
mentioned which everybody recognizes as
OF national prominence, And as soon as
one such is suggested it seems to be either

THE BARBARISM OF SCIENCE.
A Poor WOOpmam Tortured to Death
In u Cincinnati HDSpi pitNl-All for
the Interest Of Science,
From the Jersey City Journal.1

From the Jersey City Journal
The cold cruelty Of the doctors was
never more tiendishly illustrated than
in the recent case of the poor pauper
woman in the Good Samaritan HoSpi-
tai in Cincinnati. 1t would seem in-
credible were the facts not acknOwl-
edged by he medical brutes themselves,
who ought to be hung, drawn ana
quartered for their savagerv. The re-
port of the affair is most revolving. \
poor pauper patient in the hospital
was hOpeleSsly i'll Of Il cancerOus affec-
ton which had destroyed part of her
skull, laying bare the brain. 1t oc-
Cured to certain of the doctors in
charge of her that as she was certain
to die III short time, her few weeks
of life could be judiciouslv turned To
the benefit of science by IL course of
novel experiments. SO they stuck a
large number of needles in her brain.
The needles were connected with IA
galvanic battery, and by its use all
sorts of delightful results were obtain
ed. The woman felt wholly unex-
pected pains in the most extraordinary
partS-a needle stuck in the right hem
isphere of the brain, for example, pro-
ducing pain in the finger of the left
hand. When the galvanic current
was increased and the needles driven
unusually Deep, choric movements "
of tho muscles enSued, while Il good
strong dose of galvanism brought Oh
temporary paralys The woman
lasted for three weeks, during which
her BRAN was constantly stuck as full
of needles AS st. Sebastian WAS of ar
rows, and mOrecleetricity was pumped
into her than to have blown the Capitol
at Washington to pieces. At the end
of that time she died, and one of the
doctors subsequently remarked that
- in regard to the question of human
iv, he felt before the experiment that
fine needles might be used with impu-
nifty. Now, with the knowledge Of
that experiment and the post mDrtcm
that the needles did intlict injury, he
would never again repeat that expert
ment.' Can anybody read that with
out sensation of shrinking horror,
or a wish that lie might have those
doctors where he could stick a thou
sand needles into them to make them
know how good it is to suffer in the in-
terest of science? Few people are
aware of the outrages that are daily
committed in our hospitals on patients,
especially women. They are used
without regard to any feeling of hui
manity or instincts of modesty, in IL
way that would awaken general public
indignation if the facts were known.
