Tomorrow the difficult labors of the
Congress will really begin. Our dispatches
represent that the intention to take up the
subject of the Bulgarian frontiers immedi-
ately is due to the wish Of Prince Bismarck
to have done at once with the points on
which, if ut all, there will be serious differ
ences. If the Congress is to fail at all he
probably deems that it had better fail at
once than to do SO alter it has wasted a
week or SO Of time that is very precious to
him; but Ire is shrewd enough TO compre-
bend that difficult points will be tided over
more readily under the influence OF the
good will and kindly sentiment of the first
days Of association, while on further ac-
quaintancc the plenipotentiaries may be
more exacting toward one another. Austria
has to be soothed and placated in the Bull
garian settlement, and that seems. there
fore, to be the dangerous point, because all
the points that threatened rs between Rus
STA and England are apparently all ''cut and
dried, and have only to be registered by
the Congress Indeed, there appear to be
so many side settlements between the re-
spective parties that one may wonder by

The Liberian colonists who left Charles
ton last April on tho ship Azor arrived about
n month ago at Sierra Leone, British col
ony on the west coast of Africa. The de-
spatches elsewhere printed on the subject
tell n horrible story of mismanagement and
consequent suffering on board. allsof which
might have been prevented by the exercise
of the most ordinary precaution. Twenty
five of the unfortunate immigrants died
on the voyage, and the only surprise is
that larger number were not sacrificed by
the neglect of the promoters of the expedi-
ton. In the first place, before the vessel
left port measles had broken out on board.
and before she had been many days at sea
ship fever prostrated nearly all who had
not been Frustrated by the other disease.
TO add to the horrors of the situation the
supply of water ran short aud there was no
physician on board worth the name.
The captain it is said, did all in
his power to mitigate the sufferings of the
unlucky voyagers, but in the absence Of q
good doctor he could do but little That
an expedition Of this character should have
been sent on a journey of so many thousand
miles in so wretched condition is simply
disgraceful. It argues gross ignorance, if
not culpable neglect, OH the part of its pro-
moters. The brave immigrants deserved
better fate

can hardly believe that their passion for
the glittering things that whilom adorned
their expansive shirt fronts about the City

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

A tribute to che memory of our deceased
roet-patriot and Journalist, Bryant, will be
recorded to-day by DR.. King and Mr. Mo-
under the symbol Of leaves The temper
ance cause will be eulogized by the two
American organizations, and also by DR..
Tying, Jr., and those interested in the es-
Enlistment Of Christian Home for In
temperate Men. Doctors and nurses will
be interested in what Mr.. Walsh has to say,
boys and girls will hear something instruc-
tive from DR.. Woodruff, and those who love
liberty will be glad to know Mr.. Sweetser's
definition of the law of liberty. There are
many who confound license with liberty.
They should be told better. The phenom-
ena and morality of dreams will be ex-
planned by Mr.. Searles. Daniel, the
prophet, was IN interpreter of other mems
dreams in Babylon Mr.. J. E. Searles is

Mcssiah's kingdom set up and estab-
lshed, and all other kingdoms crum-
bling before it. Dr. Crook will ex-
plain now tHiS IL done, ana also VIII Oucr
free salvation to his congregation. Young
people will be encouraged by Mr.. w. N.
Searles to make q careful choice and accept
the wonderful Redeemer of mankind. Care
less hearing is one Of the prominent faults
Of this age, which Mr.. Martyr will try to
correct to-day, while Mr.. Steele urges his
hearers not to reject Christ. and D.. Ross
vally explains how he received Him.
without reconciliation no man can walk with
God, hence Mr.. Rowcll has united them in

perience is greatly aided, US Mr.. Hull will
show, by the intercession Of Jesus, and. as

The Potter committee has reached cri-
sis in the great investigation. 1t has now
before it the reputed custodian of the Sher-
man letter--the wife of Captain jerks.
Apart from the interest naturally attaching
TO lady witness-and good looking lady
witness in the bargain-the fact that she is
the wife of Captain jerks gives piquancy to
her testimony. History records the habits
and achievements of one Captain jerks
and the remembrance of that hero, made
famous i'll song, doubtless intensifies the
anxiety to hear the developments to be
made by the wife Of his nam sake. Captain
jerks, Of New Orleans, will hereafter share
public attention and sympathy with Captain
jerks of the Horse Marines. Indeed we
may anticipate the speedy appearance Of a
new song to an old tune. The poet tells
us that Captain jerks of the Horse
Marines was accustomed to feed his horse
on pork and beans, and that although he
posed to be at once gallant and useful by
teaching the ladies how to dance, for he
was the swell of the army. Mrs. Captain
jerks, Of New Orleans, may furnish a
wholesome dish OF pork and beans for Mr..
Potter's committee and may possibly lead
them on a nice dance before they get
through with their search for the original
Sherman letter. The TACT that she is sup
posed to have been in communication with
the Secretary and his able counsel prior to
her introduction to the committee OF least
suggests such result. and while the wit
ness may not be Of the original Captain
jerks family by the time she gets through
the committee may probably regard the
story she will relate to them as one emf
nently fit to be told to the marines.

a handy wayfarer rather than make tedious
journey to u graveyard OH Of town and Dig
all night. This whole subject was recently
gone over with some passion in consequence
of the discovery made in the Cincinnati
school, and now that still other discoveries
have been made at Ann Arbor. Michigan,
all that will be repeated with painful
additions. There is but one way around
all these difficulties. It is to study
anatomy only in great cities. Cincin-
natl is too small a place for the pur-
pose. There is not room enough there to
flourish scalpel without endangering
some family tie. In New York. in Paris.
in London-even in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is
always a considerable body Of population
made up Of persons who have no friends
and who must be buried at public expense.
Enough Of these dribble through tho hands
of the authorities to supply abundant ma
terial for dissection or are assigned to such
use by law, and no painful scandals can be
made in the case. The country colleges
would do we'll to abandon this part of
medical instruction.

Anatomical studies have been pursued for
a great many centuries with more or less
success, and nearly always against some
opposition. Respect for the grave and for
the remains of the dead has been the CON-
mon obstacle, whether presented in the
form of religious or superstitious de-
fence of the remains of any dead man, with
out regard to identity, or in the phase in
which it appears in the painful case that
recently excited Cincinnati and seems likely
to have an unpleasant effect on medical
school in that city. At any point where
there is not large pauper population 1t must
always be o subject OF some delicacy to keep
the dissecting tables properly supplied, and
at such places medical schools must from
time to time be hated and denounced as the
cause of violations Of the grave, since they
furnish q market but for which there would
be no temptation to such offences. 1t has
happened, indeed, that this temptation has
melted TO murder as we'll as TO the trade Of
the resurrectionist, for rough fellows of the
stripe that live by this trade will often kill
