ScR1BNER FOR FEBRUARY.-The
Midwinter Scribner (ot which 1885,
900 copies have been printed, to sup
ply the growing demand in England
and America) is as unique in points
as in the size of the edition. The
most prominent feature, perhaps,
is the paper on Edison's Electric
Light, by his mathematician, Mr..
Francis r. Upton, which is endorsed
as the "first correct and authoritative
account" The first Of Mr.. Eugene
Schuyler's illustrated papers, on the
life of Peter the Great, given in this
number, covers wide range of in.
terest. The March ScRlBNER will
contain the long.looked for paper of
"The Tile Club Afoat," which is said
to be even better, both in text and
pictures, than the "Tile Club ct Play"
which was acknowledged to he the
"ms gazine hit" of the last seasod.

Scmi.Annunl Meeting Of the Yer
mont state Homeopathic Ned
IcRI HOcicIy.

The semi annual meeting Of the
Vermont State Homeopathic Medical
Society was held at the Junction
House, White River Junction, on
Friday, Jan. aOlh. The meeting was
called to order by DR.. j. II. Jones. OF
Bradford, chairman oi the board OF
censors. In the absence Of the Prcsi-
dent, DR.. &. W. Cotton Of Wood
stock, was elected chairman and DR..
II. S. Sparhawk, Of Gaysville, secre'
tary. Letters and reports of clinical
cases were read from those who were
unable to attend. DR.. b. &. Clark,
of Windsor, and DR.. ct Fair
fax, were elected members Of the
society. AS some Of the members
who were appointed on the several
Bureaus were about it was decided to
enter into a general discussion OF
prevailing diseases. Various cases
we're introduced, among them being
Diph.helia, Diarhea, Hemorrhage,
Eczema, Pertusis, Peritypailitls, etc.
The subject Of sewer gases or foul
mir os n source of infection operating
by secret diffusive influence was DIS
cussed very freely. This subject is of
vital Importance, and no doubt is car
ried to extremes in some few cases,
and very seriously neglected in many
others. Every owner or occupant of
house should have as correct sys-
tenn of drainage as possible, and this
should be looked after. Wherever
fermentation is liable to occur noxious
gases arise that are promoters, if not
direct germina,ors of disease. When
ever specific poison arises or exists,
and contaminates the atmosphere,
specific diseases occur, generally Sc
we're in their nature, and no one can
tell whether gasses emlnatlng from
this or that source contain and con-
vey any particular germ producing a
certain disease, as in diptheria, it is
hard to tell the cause of the first case,
but they help materially to debilltate
the system, and in that condition at
tections of the throat, stomach, and
bowels, are liable to be produced.
Foul air is certainly blood poison,
and every precaution should be taken
to prevent it.. The meeting was
quite fully attended, all regretting
that there was not more time that
could be put in such matters, hoping
to be able to attend the annual in DC.
tober the meeting adjourned.

situation. 1t is confidently believed that
these diplomatic negotiations will be success
full, without the loss of commercial inter
course between the two powers, which prom
Uses great increase of reciprocal trade and
the enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail IL will be the duty of Con.
gress to mitigate the evils already felt and
prevent their increase by such restrictions as,
without violence or injustice, will place upon
a sure foundation the peace Of our commu-
mites and the freedom and dignity Of labor.
The appointment of citizens to the various
executive and judicial offices of the Govern
nent is, perhaps, the most difficult of all du-
ties which the constitution has imposed on
the Executive. The convention wisely de-
mands that Congress shall cooperate with
the Executive Department In placing the civ
II service on n better basis Experience has
proved that, with our frequent changes Of
Administration, no system of reform can be
made effective and permanent without the
aid of legislation. Appointments TO the mill
tary and naval service are so regulated by
law and custom az to leave but little ground
for complaint II may not be wise TO make
similar regulations by law for the civil SER
vice. But, without invading the authority
or necessary discretion of the Executive,
Congress should devise a method that will de-
termine the tenure of Office and greatly re-
duco the uncertainty which makes that ser
vice so uncertain and unsatisfactory. With
out depriving any officer Of his rights as q
| citizen, the Government should require him
to discharge all his official duties with intelli-
gence, efficiency, and faithfulness. To select
wisely from our vast population those who
are best fitted for the many Offices to be fill
| ed, requires an acquaintance far beyond the
range of any one man. The Executive should,
| therefore, seek and receive the information
| and assistance Of those whose knowledge of
the communities in which the duties are to
| be performed best qualities them 10 aid in
making the wisest choice.
The doctrines announced by the Chicago
convention are not the temporary devices OF
party TO attract votes and carry an election
they are deliberate convictions resulting from
n careful study of the spirit Of our institu-
tons, the events of our history, and the best
impulses of our people In my judgment
these principles should control the Legislation
and administration of the Government. In
any event. they will guide my conduct until
| experience points out n better way.
II elected, it will be my purpose to enforce
strict obedience to the constitution and the
laws, and to promote. as best may, the in
| terest and honor Of the whole country, rely.
ing for support upon the wisdom of Congress,
the intelligence and patriotism of the people,
| and the favor of God
With great respect, am, very truly yours
