and the great New-England conversationalist, has
evolved the whole matter ont of his longing for
truth and given his orchard and orchard-house for
ITS practical purposes. We read of g pleasant
room with rush mating and rustic seats
looking ont upon dusky aisles of trees. the slow
moving Concord River, and the pine-hills where
Hawthorne walked. Five courses of lectures, ten
in EACH are TO be heard this Summer in this room,
or out under the pines. Two lectures will be given
each day. The greater part of July and August
Will thus be given up to these calm and phil0sophlc
searchngs after the True and Enduring.

WHAT ARE We DOING'

Last wear when the record of death and
loss from the Southern plague was filled, a
Memphis editor summed UP the lesson Of the
whole matter by saying: 1--WE have had
"euough of charity and heroiSm next year
"let us try common sense and drainage It
appears they have tried neither effectively,
although the local authorities have really
made an effort to keep the principal thorough
fares clean. Private hOusehodcrs refused to
remove the filth from their premises until the
warm muggy days of Spring, and the Nlcolson
nayement on the streets was often oOzing with
impurity and poison.
Outside of Memphis there is apparently the
same faulty, disregard of prccauhon, blind
trusting to luck. In Philadelphia seven cases
are reported at the Lazaretto. from the bIig
Shasta from Santo Domingo. The crew
looked more like yellow CHASTITY corpses
than living men, the plague having had
its will of them since leaving POlnt-aux-
Paix. Yet the physician III charge not only
comes and goes himself from the hospital to
the unaffected community, but permits the
attendants, etc, TO do the same Surely the
frightful lessons of last Summer ought to
teach medical men at least that the lives of
thousands may depend upon attention TO some
trihlng detail of precautlon. y few years ago
bed on which "a smallpox patient had died
was burned in a closely built quarter of Aler-
vine-st., III Philadelphia, on a warm, foggy
night, and the seeds of the disease were scat
tered all through the city. Over 5000 deaths
were the result.
We hoped much from the action of the
National Board of Health, but we are forced
to confess that 50 far its hold upon the de-
stroyer appears to be just as limp and power
less as that of ordinary municipal boards. Ii
