The EUROPEAN WAR-It seems almost
certain that the war in Europe will continue
for an indefinite period, but the prospect that
it will. be general and that England, Germany
or any of the other great powers will be
drawn into it, is more remote than ever. In
the meantime the contest drags slowly along,
without the display of any remarkable mill
tary skill on either side On the Danube the
Russians are said to be preparing to cross,
and if the Turkish fleet was differed and
manned by Americans the Russians would
have more serious time in crossing than
they are likely to have. Reports from the
scene of war in Armenia are conflicting. IL

MEDICAL SERVICES by THE YEAR.-A
medical friend sends us the following, taken
from the Philadelphia Medical and Surgical
Reporter, May 10, 1877, which is of interest
to the profession, and also to the sick, who
should seek honesty as well as skill in the
physician they employ
"The California State Medical Society,
last month, almost unanimously declared
that the practice of making annual contracts
with individuals or societies, for medical at
tendance, is not only derogatory to the digni-
ty of the profession, but violation of the
Code of Medical Ethics, adopted by the
American Medical Association. The Society
decided to strike from the roll of member
ship the name of any physician who shall
hereafter make or renew Il contract for an
nual medical attendance"
The Medical Society of Hartford county
strictly forbids its members, through pro-
vision Of its Constitution, from all participa.
ton in such law, trade and lottery schemes
which proves more or less degrading to both
physician and patient.

SENATOR MORTON ON THE Political
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Morton has written n
letter in reply to number OF Southern Re
publcans, in which he gives his views on the
political situation He first audes to the
case of Kellogg, who claims seat in the
IT,. :. Senate from Louisiana, and supports
the claim Of the latter, Notwithstanding, as
he says, "evcnts that have since occurred"
lie waves the bloody shirt again, and gives a
blow to Hayes, by asserting that the Repub-
llcans were in the majority in South Carolina
and Louisiana, but Chamberlain and Packard
were not supported by the government ofthe
United States Uhzt is IIayes,) and yielded to
force.
The Senator expresses the disgust of him
self and his followers nj what he calls "the
proirssed ycarning for peace aud fraternity"
oil the people of the South, and mourns the
painful truth that political murders in The
S"nth have ceased to be shocking. In other
words, the outrage organ is out of tune, and
its notes no longer strike n sympathetic
chord in the Northern breast
lie culogizes President Hayes, and says lie
don't believe he intends TO destroy the Re
publican party, and attempt to erect new
one on its ruins. The senator presents the
Republican party as the grand and indis-
pensibc fundamentally for carrying into
operation the true principles of government
and human rights" and charges that the fail
ure of the Republican system of reconstruc-
ton is due 10 the forcible resistance it has met
with in the South. Mr.. Morton ought to re-
member that it is not in the blood of Ameri-
can citizens to calmly submit to the destruc-
ton of their rights and liberties by force.
On the contrary, the Republican system ofre
construction failed because il was unconsti
tutional and wrong. The proof of this is
seen ill the fact that in every case where is
has been abandoned, peace Ii as followed, and
all classes of citizens have been allowed to
enjoy their rights.
The Senator concludes with q villifcation
OF the Southern people, which is as harmless
as the growl from a surly and toothless
mastif

All persons who aspire to beauty or personal
appearance should not neglect that natural ac-
cessary, the hair. BY many it has been neglect
ed until the hair has become thin, gray, or ell
tirely fallen off. Messrs. Hall & Co., Nashua,
N. H., have produced an effectual remedy, called
Sicilian Hair Remover which cures all diseases
of the scalp. This wonderful preparation nc s
upon the glands, which support and noursh the
hair, restores gray hair to its original color,
makes the scalp white and clean, removes and
prevents the formation of dandruf and all
cutaneous eruptions; and, by its tonic and
nutritive properties, restores the scalp to a
healthy state, and creates new growth. As a
dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving the hair that
brllliancy so much admired by all.-Bostoa Com.

the amended Constitution and the first since
Mr.. Hayes became President, took place a

were successful, even regaining control of
Lynchburg, which has usually gone Repub-

NEW STEAM-BRAKE.-Some interesting en-
periments were made yesterday in the yard
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad with a
new steam-brake constructed by the COM
pany at its Mount Clare works. The brakes
were attached to regular passenger-englne,
and a distance of one tenth OF mile run on
n down grade OF twenty feet to the mile.
At the first trial, at a speed OF twenty-siX
miles per hour, stop was made IN the DIS
lance of two hundred and ninety-four feet,
the brakes being applied only to the "driv-
ers" OF the engine. In the second expert
ment, at speed OF sixteen miles per hour,
it stopped in two hundred and thirty feet.
At twenty-seven miles per hour. q stop was
made in five hundred and eighty-two feet.
A final trial at thirty-three miles per hour,
using steam on the "driver" brakes and
air on the tender, the stop was made in five
hundred and eighty-three feet. This is re-
garded as the best result ever obtained with
a brake. This invention will be applied to
all passenger engines running on the heavy
grades, and it is estimated that train will
be stopped by them ain its own length
