ing for the national medical library, now oc.
cupying ono floor of the old Forl's theatre in
this city, and the matter will be brought to
the attention of congress next session and an
earnest effort bc mado to secure au appropria.
ton for tho building. This library is tho
largest distinctivcly medical library in tho
world, having grown from a collection of
about / 800 volumes Mt the close of the war to
more than $4,000 volumes and 10000 pamph-
let's upon medical ubjects at the present time
II is increasing IN size ut the ratio of 5000
volumes year. Tho building in which these
books are stored is of insufficient size. and is
not lireprooi. This library is of inestimablc
value TO physicians everywhere, since though
very fow can have personal access to il, 1t
affords such facilities for reference to those
who write upon medical subjects that its stores
of knowledge aro made accessible in degree
to all. Its catalogue, the first volume of which
is now in press, is designed to afford informa-
tion to medical mon everywhere with regard
to the contents Of all the medical periodicals
and publications brought out in all parts of
the world, aud thus becomes u valuable index
of every physiciun's own library and of those
in his neighborhood. Tho building, if con.
structed on tho plans drawn up, will cost about
S2lR000. Two sites are mentioned as suitable
ono in Judiciary square, provided tho new
congressional library building is placed in
that neighborhood, and tho other on Pennsyl-

The Cincinnati Nomination,

DOUBT has settled upon the Cincinnati
nomination. A few weeks ago it was gen.
orally conceded to Mr.. Tilden, but the out
come of the Chicago convention has warned
the Democrats that they must put forward
their best man; and that confessedly the
man of 1876 is not. 1t is intimated, too,
that Mr.. Tilden has no stomach for con-
test so unequal as the coming one promises
to be, and hesitates to spend his millions in
fight that is going against him from the
start. The Democratic leaders assert, con-
about furnishing the sinews of war four
years ago, when he had much better show
for victory than he has now. Instead of
putting money into the campaign he saved it
to buy up returning boards;-an failed in
that, they say, because he tried to drive too
sharp bargain. They seem to think he
wasn't willing to pay value for the goods.
The truth is-a truth the Democrats have
never been able to understandable goods
were not in the market. The Southern re-
turning boards were not for sale.
These two reasons: Mr.. Tilden's un-
availability and his niggardiness, combine
to make him an unpopular candidate. He
has, according to the best figures, but 93
delegates, he needs 246, and but 81 are in
doubt. Unless the estimates are altogether
incorrect, or great change comes over the
spirit of the convention, the candidacy of
the Sage of Gramercy Park is out OF the
question. Who will get the nomination the
shrewdest political judges hesitate to say.
So far as preferences are known, Hancock
will have 80 at the start, Bayard so, Thur
man 80, Field SO, Seymour29, Hendricks II.
If Mr.. Seymour would permit the use of his
name there is little doubt that he could have
the nomination. But he seems to be sim
cere in his refusal to serve. Of course
there is possibility of respectable choice,
like Bayard, but it is not probable from
Democratic convention.
Evidently the Democrats do not know
what to do. Perhaps their wisest course
under the circumstances would be to follow
the example of the Maine Democratic Con-
vention and endorse the nomination of Mr..
Weaver made at Chicago. The Maine dele
CATION, headed by Mr.. Bradbury, can urge
that the defeat of the Republican party is
the object of the Cincinnati meeting; that
''division is defeat and union victory;'
that "the strong desire for success
will conquer the repugnance to coali-
tion;' that the question of endorsement
is "simply question of practical
politics. that the union sis to be a
union only for the next political year
and for definite and specified purpose
to seize the offices; that it Twill not be a
fusion, but simply an alliance; and that no
thought need be taken of the Greenback
doctrines which are "mainly financial theo-

The History of Drums.

Drummers and their drums are to be elm
mated from the French Army by the reform
ing zeal of General Fare, and that the infant
ry soldier will not march better in consequence
of this latest innovation may be safely pre-
dicted, for any attempt he may have made
hitherto to keep step has been mainly due to
the rataplan. Comparatively little importance
however, is attached in France to regularity of
step, though regiment which makes any
show of it is invariably the most cheered at
reviews, this being zone of the inconsistencies
prevalent there which it would be vain to at
tempt explaining. The minister of war ex-
planned before the Budget committee that his
reason for adopting the change is because
drummers are not combatants, so he proposes
to replace them by trumpeters, who do come
under that category. Like the white leather
aprons of the sappers, which have disappeared
for some time, the little parchment covered
cylinders are henceforth doomed. do not
know whether the origin of the drum has ever
