As we wonld deeds?
See. = requires medical examination
as to applicants system. Here We rec.
o9nise an old acquaintance-Dr. Foot
of New iOrk. In his noble(?) work
for family use he puts forth two unu
sual if not novel ideas; one IS to estab.
lish medical bureaus to examine appli-
cants for matrimony. and the other is
his NV reason why a man and his
wife should not sleep together, which
reason is that the man is liable to be.
come disgusted at seeing his wife in
her night dress.
We rejoice to see philosophical jour.
mails backing up DIR. Foot IN his new
theories, and we suggest that the por.
posed reform should 70 the full length
and that our neighbor would indict
sec. No. ) prohibiting men from sleep
ing with their wives on the ground
suggested by Dr. Foote.
Now as tc the enforcemeatof these ben
benefcient statutes we have nothing to
say as our attention has only recently
been attracted to the subject. But
we know our cotempOrary can devise
suitable and rational means for their
enforcement. and we hope the legisla-
ture will not suffer his mOdesty to de.
priye the state Of his crystalized cogi-
tations on the subject.

he leaves the Office with honor and
credit to himself and his administra.
ton. He found the country in the
throes of financial depression with its
laborlng classes verglng onto open re-

ed and happy. He found hostile,
aggravated and vindictive south he
leaves it with at least the glimmerings
OF peace, toleration and a returning
sentiment of nationality. During his
administration resumption was carried
to a triumphant success in spite of the
timidity of party friends and the hos
tility ofparty enemies. He found ev-
cry department and ramification Of
the federal government tainted, a:
least with the suspicion Of jobberv, and
openly charged with corruption of the
most appalling magnitude. He
hands it over to his successor
purged ofthe faint, and no longer need
