Saturday was the anniversary of the enlan- cipation of slaves in the District of Columbia. This event was the first decisive step towards the Thirteenth amendment to the Constitu- tion, which provides that Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction The slaves set free by this first act of President Lincoln in this direction were paid for by Congress at cost of several hundred thousand dollars. It was provided at the same that only loyal people should be reimbursed for their slave prop erty; but our friends on the other side were not wanting in those expedients in which they are adopts to-day. There were none who could not prove extreme loyalty, and almost without exception slave-owners in the District got full price for their human chat telS,

Dr. Kidd, Lord Beaconsfeld's regular phy- sician for the last four years, and the posses sor of one of the largest practices in London, was reputed to be a homeopath. short time ago the Queen expressed g desire that other medical advisers should be called to at tend Lord Beaconsfeld. Sir William Jenner was sent for and he after consultation with Sir William Gull. refused to attend, as he could not have anything to do with 8 homeopathic practitioner. Dr. Quain was then sent for and he, after getting 8 declaration from Dr. Kidd that he was not treating his noble patient homoopathically. and consulting the President of the College of Physicians, went. The two physicians worked tremendously. The College of Phy- sicians called upon Dr. Quain to explain his conduct, and he explained. Dr. Kidd has also explained that he is not a homaopath but an s'eclectic." And, at this writing, Lord BeaconsfieId is not dead

at the electric stove and see dry streets and the beadle trundline home the parish Gramme Already Mir Edward Bright in ten minutes de-electrites in vacuum his hirsute bobbins of yarn, instead of. as for merly, allowing nature to do so in half a year the factory. Mir. Shelford Bidwell produces pictures of different sta tionary objects in shaded lines on paper by electro-chemical decomposition :; and MT. Perry, by taking hint from Mir Punch, is by no means certain that very soon an aged couple at home may not be able to see on their drawing room wall an image of their grandchildren playing Badminton in India, and of learning from the telephone how they are enjoying the game.
 All this, of course, must seem to be in the far distance. Still, we must remember that science IS moving rapidly, that every year sees fresh students and busy brains intent on improving the handiwork of their prede cessors. It seems like yesterday since Oers- ted was vainly endeavoring to explain to the Danish Queen Dowager, who died last week. the first glimmering of the electric telegraph. Yet the telephone already threatens to super sede the telegraph. Men still living can re- member slr John Barrow warning his friend George Stephenson not to hurt a good cause by talking foolishly about being able to run a locomotive more than five miles an hour, or of carrying over "a few hundred" passen nrers 1n the course of year. But already coal driven engines are likely, in other fifty years. to be entirely eclipsed by electrical ones. The chances are that telegraphs will by that tune be as obsolete as are semaphores, bea- con fires and smoke signals, and that the heI1ograph will be only examined in museums as an interesting step in the development of the photophone. The Bacons, Newton, Boyle. Watt, Faraday, Oers,ed, Joule and Thomson pointed the way to Stephenson, Cooke, Mheatstone, Gramme Edison, Ora ham, Bell and Hughes. The wonders of to- day may De only the curiosities of the future. Photography is, for instance, so familiar to us, that when the actual discoverer of that wonderful art passed away four years ago, his death was barely noticed, simply becau. e few could imagine that discovery, seeming ly so old, had been the work of men of our generation. Posterity, which has done nothing for us, is to receive mighty legacy, which it will be expected to transmit without decrease to the genera
 tlons yet unborn. Theirs will be happy lot, and one might well wish to live long enough to witness the wonderful century of which some ot must may see the dawn, but the end of which none of us can survive. Yet the men of those days may, after all, be a thought racked, care-worn race. They may be saved much manual toll, though before they can regulate all their mechanical appliances they will be people of short lives and weary brains But perhaps by that time in cleo trlclty Will be fonnd the alchemistis elixir of life, or those fountains of perpetual youth for which Ponce de Leon sought in vain.

The Providence conference of Methodist ministers has adopted report on the use of tobacco, which requires total abstinence on the part of those who are admitted to preach. Candidates must give an assurance that they will not indulge in the use of the weed in any form, and the bishop is instructed to make no transfer of any man who is not en- tirely free from the habit. The reasons gi ven that tobacco is "a powerful ally of the drinking curse in creating and stimulating a morbid thirst ;'' that its use creates disgust in many church members and pure-minded unconverted men and women D and that ''there is growing sentiment that the use of tobacco is not consistent with the Christian profession, and is especially unbecoming in a preacher of the gospel of purity"

It is pretty hard work to abstain from the use of alcohol in all it's forms. Nj. Muntz has been making experiments and has found alcohol in spring, river, sea and rain water, and also in sugar. Only in very pure spring water is it altogether absent. Total absti- hence, therefore in the strict acceptation of the term, is only possible to those who are able to get hold of very pure spring water. There is reason to suppose that alcohol ex- ists in the state of vapor in air M. Muntz' s experiments leave no doubt that even in death itself there is good deal of alcohol, and if police constable applied handful of mould to his nose he would have no hesita- ton in swearing that Git smelt of spirits.'

Human Brute-And n Brutal Crowd.
 TIa Doe

ltrom The Liverpool PostI
 A town in the Rosendale Valley was on Saturday the scene of a terrible fight between 8 man and large, ferocious bulldog The town in question the town is about twelve miles from Manchester. The man is tall, burly and ferocious- looking individual, who not infrequently gives the performance of worrying live rats, and occasionally tries his powerful teeth on pots and glasses. The bulldog is noted for its power His master having frequently boasted of the powers of the dog the man was challenged to fight him q few nights ago. The agreement. that the dog should have the same chances as if pitted against another of the canine species while the man was to have his hands securely fastened in front of him. Every thing be- ing ready bad looking fellow, dressed in quarryman's garb, gave the word ''go," upon woich the masculine combatant descended to the level of the brute, and on hands and knees awaited the attack of the dog. The latter on being unmuzzled was bounded on by the wild, frantic yells of the spectators, and at once rushed at the throat of the man and the fearful combat commenced.
 The yelling of the crowd ceased, and the spectators of the disgusting scene looked on with bated breath. The brute made several futile attempts to seize the mans throat, but the latter dodging it for time, the crowd became impatient and again hurried on the dog. The latter became infuriated and another struggle took place. It was brief but terrible, the man trying as for life to ob- tain a grip of the dog, while the brute in turn twisted itself in every conceivable shape to seize tho man. The man, however, at length espied his opportunity, and seizing the brute with his pow erful teeth by the throat, pinned it to the ground, almost kill ing it. On rising to his feet he presented a most horrible sight, his face and arms hay ing been terribly lacerated during the en- counter.
