enthusiastic fondness for knowledge and laid
the foundation of her lifelong habit to have
always an instructive book at hand in he

read with Il Iii ligcnt care and treasured its
valuable thoughts in her well stored mind.
This early and fixed characteristic marked

BLOODY FIGur on LAKE CHAMPLAIN.-
Two men, one Frenchman named John, "
Sunday went t. Westport in a small boat on
Lake Champlain from the marble quarry
some four miles distant After INDUCING in
liquor they started for home. When about
forty rods from the shore they had dispute
which ended in bloody fight and very near
by the drowning of both, but for the timely
aid of Captain Fleury, who went to their
rescue and brought the two well punished
men ashore. The boat tipped over, and by
the time Captain Fleury reached them both
were in the lake still fighting smith came
off second best, with his nose broken and
two black eyes. There had been an old
grudge between the two, and Smith thought
as John was drunk it would be a good time
to get satisfaction.

Cruelty TO ANIMALs.-ln City Court,
Monday, Sidney Hard of South Burlington
was convicted of cruelty to animals and fined
five dollars and costs, amounting in all 10
about fourteen dollars. We are glad that
the officers of the law have at last turned
their attention TO this offence and we hope
the statute will be vigorously enforced. IL
is shocking TO witness the cruelties hourly
practised on dumb animals brought into this
city, and We have often thought that a branch
of the society with a long name was crying
need here. Now that our officers have
made a beginning let them continue in the
good work.

The Case of President Garfield.

Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.l
1t is an easy matter to speculate upon what
would have happened If the assassipation OF
President Garfield had occurred in New York
or Philadelphia or Boston. 1t is in vain to
wish that Dr. Agnew's surgical experience
could have guided the treatment from the
very outset; but it is none the less fact that
the Presidents case was one that called for the
best skill of surgeons familiar with the daily
practice of surgery, and proficient in all sub
iects pertaining to modern surgical pathology
and Therapeutics. 1t is a question whether
the encouraging hope that all was going on
well was not better sentiment to foster than
one which would have revealed to. an absorbed
and expectant public, for example, the full and
fateful meaning of the parotid inflammation.
which every practced surgeon realized as soon
as its existence was made known. 1t may
have been more polite to state that the CIV
ing out' of the stomach was due to dyspepsia
which a soldiers and stateSman's campaigns
had occasioned, rather than that its true cause
was the increasing exhaustion of blood-poison.
inc: but the one @'great might have BEEN
most to be wished is thatin so pre-eminent and
conspicuous case there should have been
nothing said or done to impair the public's
faith in the science of medicine as practced by
the profession at the preStHt tliuOJ III q Oouh-
try where its position has, in these latter days,
acquired so great prestige in the estimation
of the wholesword.
The suggestion has been made that the Pres
ident's welfare would have been promoted oy
his earlier removal from Washington. In
looking back we can now see that this could
have been DONE possibly with advantage, dur
ing some periods of the case; but the expecta-
tion Of improvement or the occurrence OF i'm
perfectly appreciated "relapses', must never
theless have justified its repeated postpone
lnent So far as we are aware, however, there
has been no reason to suspect the malign intiu-
ence of 'malaria,' either in that form which
might be due to the location OF the White
House. or that modern variety to which the
term is popularity applied, and which means
the emanatious from drains and soil pipes, as
having any direct detrimental effect upon the
Presidents condition.
The extent and perfection to which antisep-
tic measures have or have not been adopted
calls for this much of comment-namely, that
perfectly antiseptic dressings and methods
must have been very difficult TO maintain IN
the treatment of such wound as the Presi-
dent's and If the details in this respect have
not satisfied the ultra disciples OF Llsterlsm,
the attending surgeons are entitled to wnat
yindication they can find in the verdict oil tne
recent international congress, that antlsepuc
treatment only answers one OF the requirements
~ wound treatment; and that he only is sci
antitc surgeon who enlarges his views and
nractice TO embrace them ALL"

THERE are still no definite proofs that the
revolt of the Arab tribes against French
rule is receiving the direct support of Tur
key, bat the conduct of the Beys of Tunis
and Tripoli place it beyond doubt that the
Porte countenances the support which they
render the insurrection. To all the com
plants addressed to him by France and the
representations made by Great Britain the
Sultan has so far replied only by equivoca-
ton and denials 1t becomes daily more
apparent that France will be compelled to
take formal possession of Tunis and depose
the Bey SO far there would be no great
difficulty arising from the interference Of
any European power. But after Tunis the
far graver question of Tripoli viii present
ITSELF When French troops shall have in
vaded Tripolitan territory, win Turkey still
maintain her present half neutral position,
or claim of Europe the promised protection
III the possession of her territories? in the
latter case we should witness a reopening IS
the whole i1astern question, with general
clarnor on the part of the Powers for their
share of the prey.

The Presidents Condition


The anxiety excited by the dispatches
from Long Branch Sunday regarding the
Presidents condition has measurably sub
sided. The tenor of later dispatches, though
not entirely reassuring, is decidedly more
favorable. Further and dangerous compli-
cations may arise in the case-from that
dismal prospect we shall not be free until
the patient is declared convalescent-but
the official bulletins do not tell us that they
have arisen. As far as they go the bulletins
afford reasonable encouragement. Each
day that passes well adds something, how
ever little, 70 the Presidents strength, and
removes him by one journey from the dan
ger Of death.
The intimations as to trouble VI it'll the
lungs Of the patient receive no support from
official sources, and would not be listened to
were it not for the fact that unofficial re-
ports Of like character have so often-and
SO tardily-been confirmed by the physicians
in charge. In this instance the danger ap-
pears TO have been overestimated. The so
licitude felt provoked natural alarm and
found voice in Sunday nights ominous des-
patches. The fact is, we are all impatient
for the Presidents recovery, and too easily
elated or discouraged by the dispatches.
Unfavorable news at once throws Us into
despair, and favorable reports raise our
hopes beyond reason. The illness of the
President, if it terminates happily, win be
tedious. He will have many bad days, and
many that indicate recovery. We must not
attach too much Importance TO either. Until
dangerous complications arise we have no
reason to despair. Until a marked and per-
manent change for the better shows itself
we have no reason for coniden ce. The sit
nation is still critical. 1t is not hopeless.
The thing for us to do is to emulate the, pa
tient courage of the President and his physi-
clans.
