DIR. ID. w. Bliss.

This gentleman has latterly come into so
great prominence in connection with the
case of President Garfield, and especially as
he has been subjected to so much adverse
criticism, it seems but just to give the testi-
mony of Dr. Hamilton, the consulting ply
stefan from New York, who seems to be adj
mitted to be the very highest medical au-
thority DIR. Hamilton lately remarked that
DIR. Bliss had had more experience in treat
ing gun-shot wounds similar to the presi-
dents, known to the profession as "wounds
in the great cavities" than any other sur
geon in either the United States or Europe.
The fact is, that while in charge of Armory
Square Hospital DIR. Bliss had on an aver
age for four years from one to fifteen new
cases per day of gun-shot wounds in the
great cavities, all of them more or less like
the presidents, and some of them precisely
like it, and his success in treating them was
very great lie had also nearly all the cases
of compound fractures of the thigh and
other desperate wounds that were brought
from other hospitals and battle fields to the
city. DIR. Bliss is native of New England,
and enjoys the distinction of having been
one OF the first army surgeons to employ
lady volunteers as nurses during the war.

The Discipline Of Drudgery.

The New Haven Palladium well says I" A
liberal education is capital thing, and
the thousands of young men who are now
honored with the title of A. b. are to be
congratulated upon the good fortune that has
permitted them to acquire the mental disci-
pline resulting from four years course of
academic study. But these young men must
not make the mistake of supposing that this
discipline is an all-sufiicient preparation for
the higher callings of life. That is, the
young men who propose to enter any of the
branches of professional life, for instance,
must not imagine that the fact of their hav-
ing college education will permit them to
leap to the top rung of the ladder at once
The discipline they have is valuable, but
chiefly so as basis for the requirement of
practical knowledge, without which success
is impossible. BY practical knowledge we
mean acquaintance with the minutie or lit
tie details which go to make up all occupa-
tons. Such knowledge college education
cannot give and is not intended to give. 1t
is only to be acquired by patient application.
The discipline of the college curriculum
must be supplemented by another kind of
discipline, namely, the discipline of drudg-
cry. No one, however largely endowed with
mental power, can be exempted from the
necessity of acquiring this discipline. 1t is
far more essential to success than the disci-
pline furnished by college course"
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1881-08-03
Dartmouth College.

The committee of the trustees of Dart
mouth College appointed to examine into
the disqueting rumors and investigate
the alleged "errors Of management set
forth in the memorial of the New York
alumni last spring has made its report.
The report is very lengthy, and, while it
studiously aims to pour oil on the troubled
water of the conflict between this colleges
president aud portion of its faculty, it is
outspoken as to the basis of the charges.
1t says; 8" So far as the New York charges
and specifications are commemorative hear
ing on those forming one item in our ex-
amination-the committee do not find it
necessary to now re-examine them in detail,
inasmuch as many of the board heard the
whole quasi trial, and the board as whole
was present during the last half of that
hearing. But it is necessary to say that the
committee consider that while the " charges +"
were serious the specifications were made
quate, many of them trivial, nearly half of
the specifications were withdrawn, and as a
whole unsupported by adequate proof of any
important error" The terms of admission
to the Chandler Scientific Department, the
matter of the employment and payment of
the professors who teach therein, and the
curriculum of study for that department,
which have undergone unauthorized changes
since the year 1857, have been readjusted to
conform to the original intention of the
founder of the school. These matters have
been the main source of the breach between
the president and faculty. The trustees
generously assume the responsibility for
any changes that had been made in this
school, for the Greek professor imbroglio and
other acts, and earnestly entreat the presi-
dent and belligerent professors to shake
hands across the bloody chasm of their
differences, so that the great reputation of
the college will go on frightening under the
care of president and faculty of whose
many excellencies any college might well be
proud" If the accusing professors do not
feel inclined to "shake," they should step
down and out so that their places may be
filled with others who can work harmoni-
ously with the college administration.

Turf Morals.

Mr.. Keene, whose horse Foxhall, won the
grand prize at Paris recently, says he did
not win much money. The prize, he says,
is worth about 100000, and after paying
81 500 to the trainer and as much to the
jockey, and "going the rounds with my
friends" there will not be much left. He
does not run his horses for money, he says,
nor for pleasure, but TO encourage sport
ing" and he adds the surprising assertion
that there is nothing that will take young
men away from the gaming table more eff
fectually than the legitimate running of
horses Mr.. Keene, therefore, is practi-
cal moralist. He disapproves of the gam
ing table, but regards the turf as great
moral engine for the reformation of young
gamblers Possibly he may persuade the
English public, which has had better oppor-
tunites of observing the effect of this sport
on the morals of youth, to regard it in that
light. Heretofore we have never heard that
suggested as one of its merits. 1t does not
make much difference to the ruined man or
his friends whether he was ruined on the
turf or at the gaming table, and plenty of
young Englishmen have been ruined at
each, and in equally bad company. Exam
pies are numerous enough, too, of men who
could ascribe their ruin to devotions divided
with rigid impartiality between the two
forms of dissipation. Mr.. Keene is an emf
nent American speculator, who CANDLES in
stocks or wheat or anything else at which
money can be made This pursuit, no
doubt, he regards as highly moral and salu-
tary as preservation against temptation to
other forms of gambling.

A NEW "MAoHINE."-The aldermen of
Boston have decided to use a vertable ma
chine at the polls in future elections in that
city 1t is the Savage anti-fraud ballot box,
The machine registers the number of votes
in plain view of the voters, so that the pub
lie may know the total vote before they are
officially counted. Each ballot is stamped
by machinery within the box, and only one
at a time, so that it is impossible to stuff
the box or to cast more than one ballot and
have ii counted. The dial number and the
number of stamped ballots must absolutely
agree. Voting must be done decently and
in order, and the rushes which are often
made at the close Of the day will be useless,
for no advantage can be gained, except in
keeping away voters of the opposite party,
The man who votes early need have no fear
that his ballot will be Offset by some fraud
later in the day, for early or later all are
served alike. The practical use of the new
box will be watched with interest.
