Boston Transcript

President Arthur has been 80 suddenly and
unexpectedly elevated into the highest posi-
tion which the world has in its gift that any
thing which may serve even In the SMALLEST
degree to indicate the inbred quality Of the
man possesses interest to the public The
writer was well acquainted with the father OF
the President and had opportunities to learn
much OF his disposition and qualities. These
characteristics may or may not be reproduced
in his son, but it is tolorably certain thai many
of them have been inherited aud are likely to
bs developed in the crucial position which the
President occupies.
Rev William Arthur was man of ability
and originality OF character, who formed his
opinions without much reference to the views
of others, and was most persistent and vigor-
GUS in asserting and maintaining them. A
recalcitrant deacon or trGstee in church over
which he was pastor had by no means life OF
peace and his own way; the best thing such
malcontent could was to maintain an armed
neutrality while Mr. Arthur was at the head
of affairs. Yet he was q man of kindly and
tender feelings, who could be swayed by means
of them but never by opposition. QiicS In
repartee and ready in resources, he was for
uidable opponent in debate or in strategy, and
few men cared to try conclusions WIN him
Coming to this country from Ireland, ne
brought with him many of the mental pecu-
liarilies of his nation, as well as aricn, strohg
Irish accent, which gave peculiar raciness
and favor to his public efforts aud TO MS prl-
vate conversation; and few people VINO were
often brought in contact with him but have 20
this day many recolections of his shrewd ana
brusque remarks. He was passionate and I'M
pulsive, often making enemies by MS snarp
utterances, and always fought TO win, what
ever the nature or object OF the contest
He had the reputation as well as the appear
ance of being dictatorial and of carrying out
his purposes with small regard for the plaus OF
other people. Notwithstanding his undou0ted
ability, he never met with the success TO when
he felt that he was entitled, and this probably
somew what embittered his manner and feelings:
Yet the man was most thoroughly honest and
truthful, no consideration of policy or OF care
for his own comfort ami welfare " as permitted
to influence his conduct, and II he did that
which was right in his own eyes, 1t was oe-
cause 1t appeared right to him. he could never
be cajoled nor bribed nor persuaded TO go out
of his predetermined path.
Whether his son, our President, has yet
given token that these qualities nave Deeh
transmitted to him or not, there is very little
doubt that they are in the man, and that when
the time comes for him to act he will Do 1ouno
to possess an abundance OF backbone What
ever defects Chester A. Arthur may possess,n ne
will not be vacillating or lacking IN decision,
and mis- administration will be a strong aud
vigorous one, uninhuenced by sycophancy or
attempts at corruption.

Professional View or the Treat
ment OF the President.

IN. 4. Modlcb fNecoIu.I
It is, we believe, the general verdict OF the
profess ON that the late President received all
the aid which medical science, inteiligentiy
applied, could furnish. Looking back upon
the autopsy before US, it is impossible for any
one to say that any different mode OF treat
ment would have saved the patients life. And
furthermore, we may claim that medical ars
prolonged life for months which otherwise
might have ended in few days or weeks we
believe that this can be truthtully said. and
that 1t will be echoed and endorsed by the
medicA profession. In reviewing the case
from an autopsical standpoint IL Is quite easy
to offer criticism. The stubborn facts OF
post-mortem always stand cut In bold relief
against decisions rendered ante-mortein, But
IL must be recollccted that there were peculiar
ficulties IN the case. They are best appre-
ciated by all who have had experience IN tue
tire ,tment OF gunshot woun Is. However
greatly We may regret that in view OF the
great public importance OF tho case, correct
oninion as to tine course Ot the pail was not
made at the beginning aud was not proven AZ
the end il is quite ditfcut to see how the error
could have been avoided There we're no symp-
toms during life to point Co the locality oi tile
hall But even at the worst, as proving that
the surgeons never knew during the life OF
the patient where the ball was located, there
il nothing to show that in consequence OF that
error the patient suffered. The ball iiselt Dy
being firmly encysIed, became harmless whiie
the real cause of all the trouble mad It's origin
seemingly in the continuation OF the eleventh
rih IL was a matter for much c0ngratulati0n
that the bullet was not found in pus cavity
| Under such circumstances, even II II We're I'm,
| possible TO remove the bullet there Vo1la
~ 20 hean many who would have claimed that
| such an operation should have been attempted,
or At least that the neglect to resort TO such q
procedure was indirectly the cause OF the pa
tient's death. But all doubts in such direc-
tion have been cleared up by the autopsy. On
the su pposition that the ball should have been
extracted Ia any event, wnat have we not es-
capped? Al least the wisdom OF not cutting
down upcn the missile until the locality OF the
latter was clearly made out, cannot DO gam
said As nearly two hours were consumed IA
| finding the ball st the autopsy, what m'sns
| have been the chance of extracting the missile
| during life?

that night, there were forty-eight.
A few devout worshipers were al

royal presence, and toward midnight his
Majesty proceeded to judge the evil
spirits.
The Chinese consider all mad persons
possessed by demon, and their friends,
in the hope that this will be cast out by
the ordeal through which they have to
pass at this court, gladly send them
there, each patient paying $50. These
unfortunates are locked up in the hell
before mentioned as they arrive-suffi-
Gent IN itself to almost upset the balance
of sound mind. An official approaches
and reverently asks for the keys. The
request is granted, and runners ordered
judged. They rush off with a yell to
obey this order, and presently they are
to be seen at the far end hurrying along
one of these unfortunate people. In the
midst of frightful yells, the flames of the
immense pile of paper money making
the whole court as light as day, this poor
wretch is brought into his Majesty's
presence. He was a tall, powerful man,
his face pale though passive; but if his
acts gave any clew to The state of his
mind he was the only sensible person
there, for he refused to xneel! The ex.
element became intense. The runners
threw themselves upon him with fierce
energy to force him to kneel, but he was

ter fruitless struggle he was hustled
out of this brilliant scene, and again
thrust into the dark Internal regions.
Another was brought forth with the
same demoniacal yells. He quietly
knelt, and was at length pronounced
guilty, and sentenced to be beaten on
the ankles with the light bamboo. A
straw figure was brought forth to repre-
sent him, and he was obliged to look on
while it received the punishment.
