THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA stands
alone in its sphere for completeness. Its
articles are prepared by the ablest specialists
in each department, and they are accurate,
and often exhaustive treatises upon the sub
ject handled. The simplicity and non-tech-

work popular with, and profitable for the
people. All scholars prize it as their high
est authority.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA has
long been regarded as the most original, the
most exhaustive, and The most complete En-
cyclop@dia in the Engli 81 language. The
new Ninth Edition, now being published is
far superior, in every respect, to any of the
previous editions. Having large corps of
American writers, in addition to over four
hundred foreign contributors-all able scien-
lists and specialists-it is of the highest
authority as book of reference, and be-
comes necessity in every institution of
learning, and, indeed, in every househol l.

DR.. A. V. Meigs discusses Bright's dis
ease-to use familiar term for somewhat
vague group-in the last number of the
Medical and Surgical Reporter, and points
out that the organ affected is one which all
the conditions of modern life seem to unite
to harm, SO that s'there is strong ground for
believing that the proportion of deaths caused
by affections of the kidney is greatly on the
increase" In spite of the large number of
cases coming under the attention of physi-
clans, DR.. Meigs pronounces it extremely
difficult to prognosticate the result OF the
disease, particularly when it appears in a
young man under thirty-fve. The onset of
the disease may be very sudden in such a
case, carrying the patient off in few days;
but often with numerous indications justify
ing the expectation of an early death, the
patient lives many years. In word, vari
GUS forms of the disease seem to be the
proximate form which exhaustion from old
age, overwork or the physical degeneration
of sedentary life brings on. The drive and
luxury of civilization make the last two po-
tent causes.

Er President Yale College,
THE number of editions through which
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA has pass
ed, shows that 1t must have some peculiar
advantages, enabling it thus to secure the
approval of the public. One of these is, that
it has kept abreast of the progress of the
sciences, and shows.a steady purpose to rep
resent faithfully the ever changing condition
of the world.

HAVING lost their hold on Egypt, the
French are apparently determined to find
compensation by absorbing territory in north
western Africa. 1t is announced that
they have quietly taken possession of
Tajoorah, but as that province is theoreti-
eally subject to the Khedive, the chances are
that its new masters may be required to give
some explanation of their conduct, and that
they may find it source Of considerable dip
lomatic embarrassment. Hitherto Great
Britain has watched the African encroach-
ments of France with rather surprising COM
placency. but its passive attitude will hardly
be maintained if the French begin to annex
territory in which the British have an imme
date interest.

Senator FrYe's Bid for the Irish
V0te.-A BOOmerang"Gen. Grant
Annoyed.

Correspondence Of the Public Ledger, 11th.
Senator Frye's onslaught yesterday, on
the Free Traders, as working IN English,
rather than American interests, and there
fore not entitled to the support of the Irish
Democracy, is creating some alarm in Tam
many and Manhattan Halls, where that ele-
ment is a commanding power. The mana
gers and msnipulators of those political
machines were scarcely prepared for tactics
of this kind, which they interpret as Re-
publican device to divide, In order to con-
quer them. "It's shot that has got to be
returned" say the followers of Mr.. John
Kelly, "snd one way of returning 1t will be
for Democratic Senators TO show that 1t is
the Republican pro'ectionists who are really
playing into the hands of the English
For instance, haven't they killed
made this a regular British port? Where
are the East river shipyards that used to
give employment to so many men in Demo-
cratic times long agoP Go down to the Bat
terry this very afternoon and look at the
neet OF outward bound steamers, and you
win see the red Gag at the masthead of
nearly all OF them, and the stars and stripes
nowhere. On Washington's birthday we'Jl
get up great meeting here In New York,
and then on that subject we will put Mr.
Frye In an awkward position as suppliant
for Irish Democratic votes. If heis so anx-
ious about the Irish, why does he not back
up the Robinson resolutions calling upon the
government to intercede on behalf of Irish
American citizens, now In British jais for
no other crime than loving the land of their
birtb?' The Senator from Maine will see
by this that he has stirred up considerable
OF hornets nest. The moral of It is that
the tariff is many sided question, which. in
its application TO party relations, needs TO
be carefully handled, or it will prove two
edged sword in the hands of those who ven
ture to use It.
General Grant is much annoyad at the
publication OF his name In various Southern
journals as one Of she directors of the So
CALLED Nation al Land Immigration Company,
which processes to have for its object the
encouragement of emigration to Texas, by
the purchase and sale of lands, the charter
ing OF steamships, etc. The company is
represented to have, or to have had, exten-
sive European ramificatioDs. The General
has twice published the fact that he had
nothing to do with IL, and knows nothing Of
1t, yet his name continues to figure as one
OF its officers. There is nothing uncommon
in this, however. His name is used in many
ways by all sorts Of adventurers without his
knowledge or consent, and the worst Of It
Is, there would seem to be no way TO put a
stop to the imposition.
