EXPERIENCE AND CHARACTERISTICS

1t would be hard to give an idea of the
variety and number of the cases that daily
come under DR.. Agnew's observation and
care as an officer of these institutions
Wounds of all kinds, such as are seldom
seen in private practice, are especially num-
erous and his acute observation and reten-
tive memory have made his experience par
ticularly useful to DR. Agnew. But that
portion of it which most tended to fit him
for his present high responsibility was his
service as consulting surgeon in the great
Mower Army Hospital, which was main
tanned at Chestnut Hill during the war. It
was the largest hospital in the country
and was under the care of DIR. Joseph
Hopkinson and forty-seven physicians
as a resident staff, while Drs. Agnew
and Morton alternated as consulting sur
geons In this capacity all the most dan
gerous cases came under their notice and
all the most trying operations fell to their
hands. A very large proportion OF gum
shot wounds was always, of course, among
the patients and at one time the number of
these reached five thousand.
g. should describe him as a thoroughly
conservative surgeon, but ready for any
emergency" was the opinion which an
eminent professional man expressed. Il
think he is, above all things, thoroughly
practical" were the words in which another
summed up his estimate. This practical
quality seems to run through all his work
as an operator, as teacher and as writer
It is the leading characteristic of the valua-
BILE treatise on operative surgery which he
has been preparing for several years and of
which two volumes have been published. 1t
may be remarked here that the doctors
other contributions to medical literature in
clude work on practical anatomy, series
of papers on the relations of anatomy to
medicine and surgery, and other subjects.
To his other qualities he adds great mod

A RAPID RISE.

1t is certain that young Agnew quickly
came to be regarded as promising man.
His embarrassments one by one disappeared
and he had III a short career entered on the
road to his present eminence. His anatomi-
cal knowledge and his succinct, lively and
above all lucid style Of lecturing were the
qualities that stood him in good stead at this
early period. Regarding the former the
gentleman already quoted remarked: Zone
of the reasons why Agnew always operates
SO successfully is that he always knows
within a hairs breadth where he is cutting.
He has wonderfully minute anatomical
knowledge, and he always appears to have
! the exact bearings of the different organs
| and tissues as wildly before his eyes as if
the outer ones were made of glass" He is
also admired to-day as formerly as a clear
and effective lecturer, and, it may be here
remarked is regarded with most cordial feel
ings by his pupils DIR. Agnew at the out
set selected operative surgery as his special
tv and in connection with the School of
Anatomy, he founded classes in that branch,
Within it he has chosen no special line, but
for operations of all desert ptions is consider
ed as q master hand. In 1854 he was ap-
pointed one of the surgeons of the Phiiadel-
phia Hospital and there permanent memo
rial of his services remains in the patho-
logical museum, which he founded and of
which he was the first curator. In 1863 he
was appointed demonstrator of anatomy
and assistant lecturer in clinical surgery in
the medical department of the University,
and about the same time was chosen one of
the surgeons of Wills Ophthalmic Hospital
In 1865 he was chosen surgeon of the Penn
sylvania Hospital, where he is the colleague
of Drs Hunt, Morton and Lewis In the
same year he was made surgeon of the
Orthopedic Hospital. In 1870 he was
chosen to fill the chair of operative surgery
in the University, and in 1871 that of the
principles and practice of surgery. He is
also professor of clinical surgery in the
University Hospital

How they Enjoy Riding---The Horse they
Use.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press
WASHINGTON, July 24-The splendid
weather so unusual for Washington at
midsummer, is favorable to riding parties
of which the observed of all observers are
those that emerge from the White House
grounds almost every fine evening about s
O'clock or half past The Presidents two
manly sons are both fine riders, and each
has a spirited horse Harry's is bay,
trained to the saddle; Jim's black trotter,
Mollie, the sister, is not much of rider
yet. She has fine figure for the saddle,
but does not seem to care much for the ex-
ercise. She has pretty saddle Of her own,
but as yet no horse. The Presidents sad
die horse, splendid dapple gray, named
Mars, is ridden during his illness
sometimes by Mr.. Judd, the tele-
graph secretary, and sometimes by Dr.
Hawkes., the family tutor. Private Secreta-
ry Brown has a handsome horse of his own
These gentlemen make a spirited group in
their frequet after dinner sallies. Mrs. Gar
field drives out olmost daily with one or an
other lady friend. Mrs. Sheldon accompa-
MED her husband here at this time at Mrs
Garfeld's special request. She will be her
close companion and will relieve her of
much fatigue. She was here during the
first few weeks of the administration, and
assisted Mrs. Garfield in receiving. The
Presidential carriage is a very handsome af-
fair-new and commodious. His carriage
horses. bought recently from Congressman
Updegraf, of Ohio, are magnificent bays.
Albert the historic colored driver who has
held his position since the DAYS of Grant
sits on the box in livery He is fond of
enumerating the fine horses President Grant
had in his stables. He used then to drive
fourth hand. Since the Garfield boys and
Don Rockwell resumed their studies at
Col. Rockwell's residence, which is some
distance from the central portion of the city,
the Presidents carriage is sent every day
for DR.. Hawkes., and brings him home at
O'Clock, when the days lessons are over
The boys are now through with their classi-
cal review, and on Monday will take up the
mathematical, embracing arithmetic, alge-
bra, through equations of the first degree,
and the first two books of geometry This
prepares them for entering as freshmen at
Williams in September. A certificate of
proficiency from DIR. Hawkes., will be &C.
cepted by the college authorities in lieu of
abe accustomed examination for admission
The boys are fine dancers, as well as versed
in outdoor athletics. They are not pre-
eminently bookish boys; they have not
been forced in that direction, but are bright
and capable nevertheless. All the elder
children have the fine physical development

BETTER

The Last relapse of the President
was so nearly fatal that the physi-
clans all but abandoned the case rs
hopeless Friday, and were driven
back to their duty by the heroic Mrs.
Garfield. Latterly the brave Presi-
dent again rallied, and our latest ad-
vices in the Pioneer Press, which
paper published his obituary notice
Saturday, now say of him:
The President is no worse, and
that is as much as to say he is better.
No new complications have appeared
in his case, and the doctors are strug.
Cling confidently with the old ones.
The Presidents general condition
is such as to inspire hope. The most
critical examination fails to detect
any evidences of pyemia; his heart
lungs and glands are sound, and the
evidences of septic poisoning are fast
disappearing. His appetite and
power of assimilating food continue
good, and his pulse, considering the
operation he endured, ranged com
paratively low. Nobody in Wash
ington seems to admit the possibility
of his death, now.

"SETTlNG UP THE PINS"

1t is unqucStionably the right of
every man to want office. 1t may
even be not wrong Though in ques-
tionable taste) to use every honora,
ble means to fix up things" in al.
vance of nominations, so that the
candidate may feel that the game is
his before it is played. But is it not
wrong for the voter to make this
possible? Is it well for him to pledge
himself, simply as a matter of good
feeling, to please the candidate or
the candidates friend who may have
done him the most favors, without
calling in question the matter Of fit,
ness? On the other hand, has the
candidate right to demand that his
personal friends shall either support
his claims for office or else consider
themselves personally hostile to him:
Surely, this is demanding too much.
The blame of packed conventions
or bad nominations can generally be
traced to the Indifference or venalitv
Of voters, and we simply wish to lift
u warning voice, in view of the can
vass already begun, against making
indiscriminate pledges or being i'll
tluenced by wrong motives.
There are, we believe, plenty of
suitable men within the ranks of the
Republican party to fill the offices
in this county, and we are sure that
it viii, be found advisable to retain
some, at least, of the old county Off
cials, with all Of whom we have had
the plcasantest personal relations.

sllmed. At twelve o'clock, three hours
