RESOLUTIONS of Respect.

ACTION OF THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
ON THE DEATH OF DIR. II. II. PORTER.
At a meeting of the City Medical
Association, Saturday evening, Dr.
Bush presiding, the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Medical Associa-
ton of Wilmington has learned of the
sudden death Of DR.. r. Il. Porter,
which occurred in this city, on Friday
April 18th.
Resolred, That during peroid of
more than thirty years, in which Or.
Porter held prominent position in
the medical professiod, his conduct on
ALI occasions, was such as to COM
mand the respect and esteem of his
patients and of his professional brelh-
rem.
Resolced, That our late associate
was remarkable for his affable DISPOSE
ton. and courteous demeanor in all
his professional intercourse, we there
fore desire to record our regret for his
loss. and the affectionate regard in
which we hold his memory.
Resolped, That the association at
tend the funeral in a body, and that
Drs. Bush, Grimshaw, Bullock, Wales
Draper and Kane, be appointed to act
as pail bearers, and the secretary be
instructed to send a copy of these
resolutions to the family of the deceas-
ed.
The Historical Society held meet
ing Saturday afternoon. at which tho
death of DR.. Porter was announced
The Society resolved to attend the
funeral in body, and Hon. l., F.

tions on the death of DR.. Porter and

Entravagant Town Sites.

WAsHINGToN N, April 14.-The House
yesterday passedRepresentative Pages
bill limiting to 2. $50 acres of the area
that shall be entered in any one in
stance for town site, unless the ex-
cess claimed is actually settled upon.
Inhabited and used for business and
municipal purposes. The bill also
throws open to homestead and pre-
emption settlement all lands hereto
fore entered under the town site law
which do not come within the above
provision regarding entries in excess
of 1850 acres. IL appears from a
statement presented by Representative
Crounse, of Nebraska, who reported
the bill from the committee, that the
existing law has been greatly abused
in the Territory of Utah, where a
number of insignificant places have
been incorporated as "cities," and OBJ
tanned title to tracks of government
land comprising from sixteen to forty
square miles each, as "t0wn sites. ~
Twelve of these villages have entered
town sites of sixteen to eighteen square
miles each, and seven of them have
thus acquired title to tracts of thirty
six or forty square miles each. From
this statement Mr.. Crounse made it
evident that legislation is needed to
cut down these mischievously large
city limits, and to restrict those which
may DE created hereafter, and to con.
firm the titles to those lands which
may have been settled upon under the
pre- emption and homestead laws. where
such settlement does not interfere
with any municipal need,

The Millionaire and his Maid.

From the New York World.
On the 21st of March, 1862, Mr.. A
L. Stewart called on DR.. Moreau Nor
ris, city sanitary superintendent. and
informed him that Rebecca Turner.
who had been in his family as domes-
tie Tor many years, was stricken with
small pox, MIR. Stewart pleaded car
nestly that she be not removed while
ill, but that he be allowed to isolate
her on the top floor of his house, No.
300 Fifth avenue, and promised that if
Unnecessary he would destroy all the car
pets and furniture and tear down the
interior of the house to prevent infec-
ti0n. DIR. Morris consented to allow
the case to be isolated under the su-
pervision of DR.. Brown, sanitary in
specter, and member Of the disinfec-
ting corps, and MIR. Stewart and the
family took refuge on the first floor OF
the house. Rebecca's sister who had
had the small pox, was sent for by Mr..
Stewart to nurse her, but in about 3
weeks Rebecca died, and her siste.
took the disease again. Mrs, Stewart
then moved to friends honse, but
Mr.. Stewart remained in the house
several days longer. Finally MT.
Stewart and his family removed into
the house in which he died, although
at that time it was only partly finished
andRebecca's sister was tenderly cared
for and recovered. When she was
we'll enough to leave, the disinfectant
corps thoroughly fumigated the old
house, and destroyed all that was in
the rooms the patients had occupied. i.

Miss Fitzalan' parlors were full. The
music was playing scent of roses
and helitrope filled the air-and Leo's
heart beat high with anticipatory tri-
umph as she saw Mr.. Maurice among
the crowd.
The next instant she perceived that
he was not alone. A tall and beautiful
young lady leaned on his arm.
With nameless pang of jealousy,
Leoline Harper would fain have shrunk
away, but Mr.. Maurice advanced di-
rectly toward her.
"Miss Harper" said he with bland
courtesy, "allow me to present to you

smile to Leo. $50 am l. She only
