The first number of the year of the old and
well known Boston Medical and Suqieal Jour
nal comes out under rew auspices and in a new
and stylish dress. 1t has been transferred to
the publishing house of II. o. Houghton & Co.
publishers of the Aaantic, and the occasion
has been taken to make certain typograpbic
changes, which give neat appearance to the
page, and to put the Journal into a cover of
handsome gray paper, which gives it quite the
air of monthly. The contents of the first
number every way merit the hew dress. Be
side the reports of surgical operations and tho
proceedings of the Boston Society for Medical
Improvement, and other information, there are
two articles sure to attract wide attention, one
strictly professional by the eminent surgeon,
Dr. Henry j. Bigelow, on The True Neck of
the Femur, an illustrated article, to be COM
pleted in the next number; the other by DIR. Oh
iver Wendell Holmes, on The Physiology o
Versiication, paper which we predict will 10
widely read from its interest outside the pro-
fession. There are poets enough iE the country
to exhaust very large edition of the Journal
containing this article. We are glad to see ev-
idence of so much freshness and vieor in this
famous old journal. The yearly subscription is

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
In the debate in the Senate, Thursday, no
direct opposition was manifested to the pro-
posed amendments to the constitution providing
for the election of President and Vice Presi
dent directly by the people. Mr. Thurman
criticised them, however, as falling to meet
the most menacing danger, which in his iudg-
ment lay in the method of the counting of the
electoral vote and he argued that the tribunal
10 decide contested elections should be provided
for in the Constitution, so that it should not be
subject to change to suit the purposes of the
party which might be dominant at any par
ticuar time. Mr. Conkling observed that for
aught the senate knew the next Presidential
election might involve the graves consequences
under the present method, and suggested that
whatever was done should be done in season
for that event.

IT costs Nebraska $1,S00,000 a year for
coal. She is minded to economize, and so
directed Professor Hayden to go out and
hunt Up some coal mines. That eminent
geologist reports that no coal is to be found
within the limits Of Nebraska. The people
of the state are very mad, and insist upon
the creation of the Office of state geologist,
the duty of that gentlemen to be ''the study
and development of our mineral resources"
If mineral resources mean coal, the office
will be sinecure.

Current Notes,

We regret the defeat of Mr.. Schurz, es-
pecially because it seems to be an evidence
that the democracy of Missouri are wanting
not merely in gratitude but in wisdom. They
could have claimed the confidence OF the
country by re-electing Mr.. Schurz; they
have again to earn it by electing Gen. Cock
rell. Their first use of their power Is to

BOSTON is getting alarmed at the increas-
ing number of its tramps. In 1872 the lodg-
ers at the stations numbered $4,000; in 1873,
47,O00; in 1874, $4,000, and this year there
are more than ever. The good city has ac-
quired reputation among the tramps for
keeping a lodging-house for all New England,
and vagrants come many miles to enjoy her
generous hospitality. An attempt will prob
ably be made to utilize the leisure moments
of the visitors by giving them employment
upon some public work, the employment to
be recompense for the good cheer furnished.

THE recent excavations at Rome have
brought to light several art treasures of great
beauty and value. These are new Venus,a
Bacchus, bust of Commodus, two Tritons,
a head of Venus, and two portrait statues.
The most remarkable are the Venus and the
Commodus. The statute of the Paphian God
cess, quite perfect, is of the purest Parian
marble. II is perfectly nude, the modelling is
exquisite and the contours have a beautiful
flow of line. The face is turned to the right
and little downward, showing from the
front not quite three-quarter view. 1t is
not the statue of a mature woman but that of
a lovely girl, and might be taken for Psyche
did not the style of art suggest an earlier peri
cd than the date of that myth.
The Commodus is represented as Hercules
draped in the skin of the Nemean lion. In
the right hand he holds the club, resting up
on his shoulder, and in the left the apples of
the Hesperides. The face bears a striking re-
semblance to the portrait of Commodus in
the Capitoline museum, there being the same
narrow, contracted brow, the same heavy up
per eyeld, and the same hal-brutal express
sion.
