ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF MEDICAL
JURISPRUDENCE.

We acknowledge the receipt, from the au-
thor of this excellent essay, read before the
International Medical Congress at Philadel-
pha, in September 1876. The faults and de-
fects of medical Jurisprudence, as it main
tains in this country, are presented in this
short disquisition with great force.
The writer sets forth the many advances
that have been made in medico-legal science
by the researches and discoveries OF great
medical men, and then he shows how lneffi-
Gent the application Of this knowledge to the
administration of justice is rendered by the
monstrous methods which the law has insti-
tuted in all judicial inquiries. Upon that an
Gent and barbarous fraud, the coroner and
his jury. DR.. Chaille is deservedly severe, and
his observations in this connection suggest
the necessity Of an early correction OF this
evil by the establishment of competent and
intelligent inquest in the place Of this incom

1t looks very much as II Mr.. w. Fl. Sims,
of Mississippi had cause for complaint. In
Mississippi, in olden days, there was no such
office as Lieutenant Governor, the president
of the Senate succeeding the Governor in
office in the event of the latters death or
resignation; but when the Radicals came in
they changed all this, made the State con-
form in all respects with those of the North
ern States from which they came, and created
an office never known ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Governor of Mississippi.
The first act of the Democratic Legislature
last winter, was to pass a bill amending the
State constitution and abolishing this newly
created office, which bill was submitted to
the voters at the late election in the form of
constitutional amendment.
At the Democratic State Convention Mr.. W.
Ell. Sims was a candidate for the nomination
of Lieutenant Governor. He obtained the
prize he sought was nominated and last Tues
day was elected by over one hundred thou
sand majority; but large as is that majority,
he has won only barren honor after ALL for it
will not suffice to elect him. Amendment No.
l to the State constitution abolishing the office
OF Lieutenant Governor appears also to have
obtained large majority, and the very votes
that elected Mr.. Sims Lieutenant Governor
the office to which he was elected
His election, therefore, will prove barren
victory, only emitting him to bear the illus
5rious name of Governor. Perhaps no person
has ever enjoyed the honor of being Cover
lor for so short time as Mr.. Sims.

A New York dispatch saws:

Rev. VIM. H. Wyckoff, Secretary of the
American Bible Union, dropped dead yester-
day while taking his customary BATH
This shows that habit of this kind will
eventually destroy its votaries, however sue
cessfully they may carry it on for time.
Such accidents as this, coupled with the
late defeats of the Turks, are apt to create a
prejudice against baths. The Turks, it may
be known, battle nine times day-it is part
of their religion; the Russians never take
water, either outwardly or inwardly. The
triumph of the armies of the latter would
therefore, lead to the belief that baths are
weakening, demoraizlng and injurious.
There is scarcely any need, however to warn
people against baths or to relate the sad fate
of the Rev. Mr.. Wyckoff, who appears to have
INDUCED once too often in them. The present
cold weather is enough warning in itself.

Strikes have become SO fashionable of late
that they have reached even the cotton fields.
The USUAL pay for picking a hundred pounds
of seed cotton is fifty cents The negroes in
Fannin county, Texas, however forced the
price up to seventy-fve cents, and have lately
struck for one dollar hundred pounds and
board, refuse to work for less, and threaten ito
whip any Niger who works for six bits This
will amount to nearly twenty dollars a bale.
Add to this the price of bagging and ties,
the cost of ginning and pressing, getting the
cotton TO market and incidental expenses and
il Is very hard to SEQ where the farmers profit
will como in, particularly in these days of
worms and bad weather.
AT these rates, a good hand, male or female,
can make from three to four dollars day
picking cotton.

Tho telegraph is particularly interested in
French news Just now. 1t appears to believe,
however, that everybody in this country is
thoroughly acquainted with all the intrica-
4 clos vi French politics. 1t is hard enough to
understand tho parties and platforms of this
country where there are only two political
Dfganizations, but when it comes to France
With a dozen different parties each aiming
1at an entirely different form Of govern
pnent, politics becomes wholly unintelgible.
ING have heard SO much of the right, the
lBft, the centre in the French Assembly of
lAte, that 1t Is worth while knowing
What these cpithcts mean. In the French
inmate and Assembly, the members of the
various political parties sit together. The
&uDate begins on the right with the extreme
fpnarchists; as one goes thence to the left
3ixg lnonarrhical ideas grow less and less, I'M
&il he reaches the extreme left, where the
Mildest principles Of communism are publicly
pruclaimcd. In the French Assembly, there
lore the extreme right are those who favor
4he reign Of Henry V, the Compile de Cham
bord, as an absolute and despotic King, who
wilE make no concession at oil to liberal ideas !;
me moderate right favor the legitimist pre-
mansions Of the Compile de Chambord, with
constitutional guarantees the right centre is
eOfnposed of the nartisans of the Orleans fam
3iy: next comes the Constitutionalists and
Bonapartists. On the left the Republican
ranks begin. These also show many subdi-
visions. The left centre are the moderate
Republicans; the LETT the progressive Repub-
aicans, and the extreme left the Communists
and Red Republicans.
" These divisions will explain the present
differences in France. The French Senate, on
I@iause action hangs the future of France, is
Almost equally divided between Republicans
md Conservatives. Upon the right and left
)oentres, therefore, the result depends These
bold the balance of power. If the Constitu
ffpnallsts and Orleanists act with the Repub-
nuns, republican government in France is
asured; If the moderate Republicans are
;i]inx To accept q compromise cabinet they
I'LL be able to uphold the MacMahon gov
zrlant.

potent and ignorant one. Upon this subject

pcNent Hnu l&HOraHG one. Upon this subject
he says:
Now what are the methods which Anglo
AZ American lc law adopts to secure in practice
theory 1t demands? 1t entrusts medico-legal
autOpsies which require special medical and
some legal knowledge to those having
neither the one nor the other, except by acct
dent; for, these coroners wv hose inexperience
our law insqres by constant rotation in
office, owe their position wholly to political
popularity, q qualification which COM
petent expert Is most unlikely to possess.
Are these unqualified officials supplied with
en- etlclent aid? L So again by accident since
to his still less qualified jury, to provide
q medical expert and, as is usual,
accident and ignorance provide inexperience
and incompetence. Could ingenuity devise
inefficient than these which Anglo-American
laws, framed before the birth OF medical jul
r1sprudence, have barbarously perpetuated?
DIR. Chaile also comments very correctly
upon the character of medical testimony and
witnesses admitted contradictorily in courts,
and regretfully admits that sound expert
evidence Of competent and learned men may
be as easily overturned to-day by the evil
dence of charlatans and empires, as it was
in England when the illustrious John Hunter
was overborne by three ignoramuses.
These are matters of great and urgent i'm
portance, and it is but too true that they have
been wofuly, in fact shamefuly. overlooked
by our American legislators. Vast and
sweeping reforms are demanded, and we do
not know how to better bring the matter be-
fore the public than by referring those to
whom such matters are of interest to this
short but comprehensive address.

The distribution of the Federal patronage
In this State is n matter wherein, we believe.
the honest people Of the State have no fur
Their interest than to secure persons of capac-
ity and integrity and to exclude all of those
classes of pestilent intriguers conspirators
and corruptionists who have heretofore
welded the Federal patronage to the perpet-
nal disturbance and embodiment of our
people.
Hence their protest and opposition to all
Aspirants who are backed and supported by
such diSturbers and enemies of our peace
4and the restoration of honesty in the public
office Of the government and State, whose
names, or those Of their tools are mentioned
sss favored candidates and probable ap-
pointees. Packard, Anderson and Warmoth
are the chiefs of these obnoxious and detested
rings who are scratching and scrambling and
nearly tearing the President to pieces in their
conflicts for the Custom House. Tho honest
people OF the South, including the whole
Democratic party, have no choice between
thase. Each Of them bears an equal burden
Cf infamy and OF the hate Of this people for
fle wrongs they have inflicted on them, for
Ale constant embodiment and corruption, the
Insults and plumber of which they have been
the principal authors and machinators. If
tho President is sincere in his desire to restore
peace and good feeling, and render his paciti-
cation policy a success, no must repel the
advances Of these "head DEVILS of all the
tnrmoil, confusion and political and official
s3llainy which have so disgraced and para
dyed our State and people during the last
twelve years.

MARK TWAIN AND DAN DE GUILE.

la he roomed with Dan DeQuille. All
the miseries which guile ever en-.
dured, and all the bad characters he
ever got, date from that time. They
lived in several different lodging
houses, and were turned ont of them
all, ore after the other, all on account
of Dan, who soon acquired bad rep
utation, second to none in Virginia.
No respectable family would harbor
Dan who knew anything about him,
and the very mention of his name
would cause landlady to hold up her
hands in virtuous horror. One morn
ing Mark woke up and heard the land
lady's cat mewing about the door,
which was half open. Dan was fast
asleep, and Mark, grabbing one of his
heavy boots, threw it with fatal pre-
cision at the intruder. The cat limped
off with broken leg (the boot weigh,
ing five pounds) and the landlady Sc
cured the missile and waited for it's
owner to appear. Mark got up,
dressed, and went out with both boots
on. The landlady greeted him with
pleasant smile, and when Dan got up,
and was walking about in his stock
ing feet, hunting for his left boot, bel
received a scathing dressing down
from the landlady, who, without allow
ing him to explain, ordered him to
leave the house. Mark condoled with
lim in his trouble, aud said "I'll stick
to we, DAN" The next house they
moved into had pantry close to the
'oom consigned to them. Every night
Mark would steal two or three mince
pies and eat them entire without Civ
ng Dan sight at them. In the
morning tie landlady would be brush
ng about near the door, Dan would
De asleep, and Mark would open out in
a loud voice as follows: "Dan, this
business won't do. Those pies don't
'clong TO you. In the first place, its
BETTY larceny, and in the next place it
gets crumbs in the bed Well get
lotice to quit pretty soon. 'Taint the
square thing on the landlady. l don't
wonder you've nothing to say. Now
his is the last time l propose to speak
about this" The landlady, who took
n every word, would give poor Dan
lotice to quit, and never hear word
# explanation. "When you go, l go,
)an," Mark would say, and his broth
'rly fidelity touched Dan to the very
;ore. The next place was an intense
y respectable private family. When
Mark expected to be out all night he
would slip up to the room and strew
few hair-pins round promiscuously,
md scatter a few down in the foot of
he bed, where they would be found
When the landlady was making it up.
t would all be laid to Dan, of course.
I've got a family here and want to
ring my daughters up respectable"
would be the landlady's remark as she
rdered Dan to pack up. "When they
ire you out, Dan, it means me too"
lark would say, in tones Of brotherly
ffection that melted Dams inner ma
ure and caused him to think therel
we're some true men in the world, af- :

A CIRCUS company, on their way to
Australia, stopped to see one of the
FIJI islands. While wandering about
one of them turned a somersault, and
the native spectators were astounded
by the sight. Thereafter, the circus
men, discerning the opportunity for
fun, varied their walks by frequent
somersaults and grotesque contortions,
all the time maintaining sober faces
and the utmost gravity of demeanor
Multitudes followed them, in the belief
they were missionaries, sent to teach
a religion in which somersaults were
a part of the service.
