The Present Position OF the Science OF
Medicine.

Although medicine as an art has
grown by the slow accumulation of ex-
perience, it has, since it arrived at ma
turity, given birth to q science the pur-
pose of which is to investigate the
origin and nature of disease. This
science we call science of medicine, or
pathology. The problems which it of
fers possess interest enough to make
them attractive to all truth seekers-an
interest which is increased rather than
diminished by the fact that the amount
of knowledge which as yet exists as to
the way in which the human body is
acted on by its surroundings SO as to
produce diseases is very scanty. We
may confidently hope that before an
other twenty years have passed there
will be great increase of this knowl-
edge, for, at the present moment, the
systematic investigation of the nature
and causes of disease is being carried
on with unprecedented activity, and we
have the satisfaction of seeing even the
darkest corners of the subject one after
another made accessible to the % dry
light of science.
The cause which has determined this
tendency to progress is not far 10 seek.
Pathology is being carried forward by
virtue of its association with other
branches of physical science. To our
predecessors of a generation or two
ago the notion that the suffering human
body is subject to the same laws as those
which regulate non-living matter and
that all our ailments are themselves the
products of agencies which come within
the cognizance of the chemist and phys
icist, seemed inadmissible and almost
revolving. Now we have learnt tnat,
in so far as we understand the processes
of life, whether healthy or diseased at
all we getat this understanding by COM
pairing them with better known proc
esses which present themselves to our
observation in the world outside of us.
1t is on this principle that all researches
as to the origin and nature of disease
must, if they are to lead to permanent
results, be founded. Comparing the
present position of science OF medicine
with the past, we may at least congrat-
ulate ourselves that we know what
questions requiye answers and how To
set about obtaining answers for them.
We know also that the task thus pre-
.ented to us is laborious and difficult.
TO those who possess the needful train
ng and quality of mind and who ar
ttisfied with such rewards as science
'ilers, pathology presents an invitina
ED of inquiry, alflriing suiicien

General SherIdan,s Report.

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL Pull. H. SHERIDAN'S
annual report as Commandant of the Military
Division of the Missouri, with headquarters at
Chicago, has just been forwarded to Washing
ton. 1t is business-like document. 1t sets
forth that there are in the Department of Da-
kOta, 4,S50 officers and men; in the Department
of the Platte, $50; in the Department of the
Missouri, 4720, and in the Department of Texas
800. He again puts himself on record as con-
sidering this force entirely inadequate TO the
great territory and the numerous demands
upon the army from Northern and Southern
borders. The ratio is about one man to every
seventy-five square miles, and in Texas one
man to every one hundred and twenty-five
square miles. The result is that the troops
are frequently overworked and often COM
PEELED TO take the field against superior num-
bers. The officers and men are equal in intel
Igence activity and devotion to duty to any
army in the world and no army of its size &C
complishes One-third as much work from one
years end to another.
He refers to the rapidity with which emf
grants are taking up the land in the Far West,
and calls attention to the recommendations of
General Pope that permanent posts be estab-
lished in lieu of the present costly and INSULT
cient small posts. He says the railroad COM
panies are the strongest allies of the military
in the West, and shows what wonders of enter
prise are being accomplished by these vigor-
Gus corporations in the unsettled regions of
the Territories. Journal.

JUDGE DAVIS has rendered decision

in which it is asserted that Gen. Garfield
lied when he denied the authorship of the
letter. Judge Dayis severely criti-

Hewitt must rest the larger share

OF GENERAL INTEREST
a chicnge EIopemen..


A WASHINGTON special of the eth to the
Chicago Tribune tells the following story:
A Chicago opponent has made a small
sensation here. The story, as told by those
who claim to know the details, is this: A
young man named Arthur P, whose father is
cashier ola financial institution in Chicago.
became enamOred of Ella S. daughter of a
wealthy farmer, who is a resident Of Cock
County. The young woman recently inherit
ed considerable property. The father of this
girl opposed the marriage. An elopement was
planned FOR electiOn-day. The father was a
judge of election, and, while absent attending
to his duties, the young people met in Chica-
go, were united, and escaped. The license had
been obtained the preceding day, and they
were married by an Episcopal minister. They
left Chicago on morning train, Tuesday.
When Mr.. S. returned to his home. Tuesday
night he was informed of the flight of
his daughter. He started toward Chicago,
running, thinking that he would, by aid
of the police, overtake them. The runaways
were not to be found. By accident he learned
that they had started East, but he did not
know to what city they intended to go. He
telegraphed to a gentleman in the customs di-
vision of the Treasury Department, his broth
er-in-law, to look out for them. The telegram
then, he has received every incoming Western
train in hopes of meeting the couple and pre-
venting the marriage, as he was requested to
do at any expense The happy pair
reached here yesterday morning, and were
met by the Treasury gent. He recognized the
young lady by photograph, and, without any
introduction, demanded of the young gentle
man where he was taking the young lady,
giving her name. He also stated who he was,
and showed the telegram from the young
ladys father, giving him authority in the
matter. The young man quietly remarked, so
as to prevent any scene other than what had
taken place, that they had better step into
carriage, when he would explain all. To this
the Treasury Department gentleman object
ed. Then go to the DickensF the young man
said. This is my wife, and l don't intend to
put I'D with any of your impudence.' More
talk followed, during which the license was
shown, after which the two could be seen
riding to a fine residence on Eighteenth street.
In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. ?. called at the
Presidents house and visited several of the
public buildings. They will remain in the city
until Tuesday afternoon next, when they will
return to the home of the young man in Cook
County. The lady is about nineteen years of
age, and is very handsome as well as inteli-
gent.

TURKEYS.

Ifyou are thinking of raising turkeys
next year, study up the subject this
winter and hatch the earliest eggs you
can procure. Do nothing half way, but
make up your mind to give them the
best care for the first ten weeks of their
existence; after that they will take care
of themselves. The following advice
from the american Poultry Yard is ex-
cellent and should be closely followed:
''In some cases even the best of care
fails to secure a good number of young
turkeys. Before they have fully feath-
cred up they are the tenderest of birds,
but when they have put on a full dress
of feathers nothing in the way of poul-
try is more hardy or less liable to dis
ease or disorder. As young turkeys,
like young guineas, make such rapid
growth of feathers when young, they
require constant care and food in fair
quantities often, to enable them to
withstand the great strains on their
systems and not supplying them fully
at that stage of growth is what causes
so many to drop off suddenly from no
apparent cause. Boiled eggs, chopped
fine, no doubt makes a good food for
turkeys, to commence with, but it is
not at all necessary. One of the most
successful breeders of turkeys we know
of never fed Il crumb of boiled egg,
but commences with stale bread crumbs,
slightly mixed with new, fresh milk,
giving them five or more feeds daily,
but only in such quantities as they
would eat up clean at every feed.
Onion tops or lettuce, chopped up
fine and mixed with their food,
was given, while an occasional season.
ing of red cayenne pepper was supplied
They were treated to sweet milk for
drinking purposes and when they got
some little age cottage cheese was lib
orally supplied and they are very fond
of it. There is as much in the care as
in the feeding and they must have the
best of both to induce them to stay
with us. Dampness and dew are fatal
to young turkeys; the remedy suggests
itself in a preventive
