GOLDEN WEDDING. The venerable
Bishop Peck, Of the Methodist church,
recently celebrated his golden wedding
and among the contributions to the en-
joyment of the occasion was a tribute in
rhyme from the Rev, Dr. King Those
who remember that the Bishop weighs
$50 pounds see the point of these lines
'Throughout the land his works do praise him:
1t took dozen states at least to raise him.
His Titan limbs of stalwart Drawn consist
And every inch loyal Methodist,
his spinal column, never known to lurch,
In time of pressure can hold up a Church.
His ample breast (eXcuse the seeming boast
Is broad and generous as the Pacific coast

THE BoSToN MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY
This company again comes to the front with the
record of another successful year The statement
IN another column shows an increase in business
over last year of 30 per cent, profit of over
100000; the two usual semi annual dividends of
five per cent. each, and an increased surplus That
the company is and should continue to be,
favorite with ship-owners and merchants is the
natural result of its energetic and liberal yet care
full and pains taking methods of doing business,
and its prompt and equitable settlements of losses.

Recovery from Rabies.

On more than one ground of posi-
bility of the recovery of dogs from at
tacks of rabies is Of great Importance.
The demonstration that this terrible dis
ease is not invariably fatal, even in the
animals most prone to it, may at least be
welcomed as affordi1g a ray of hope for
therapeutics, while the fact of the recoy-
cry of affected animals may afford an ex-
PLANTATION of many mysterious outbreaks
of the disease. NJ. Decroix lately com
municated to the Academic de Medicine
nine cases which he had collected of we'll
authenticated recovery from rabies. m
M. Menecfer inoculated two dogs and a
rabbit with the saliva of a rabid doc: all
three died from rabies, but the dog from
which the saliva was obtained recovered.
(2) Decroix inoculated dog with the
saliva of one suffering from rabies; the
latter died, the former became affected
with characteristic rabies and recovered.
(3) Some saliva was obtained from a man
some hours before he died from HYDRO
phobia, and with it dog was inocuia1ed:
the animal presented well-marked swap
toms, but recovered. ca Reg of LYONS
recorded the recovery of dog with furi-
Gus rabies, due to bite from another
rabid animal. (5) A military veterinary
surgeon, Laquerriere, has recorded the
case of dog affected in consequence of
a bite from an animal unquestion siDly
rabid- The destruction of the dog Vas
ordered, but the owner refused consent,
and the dog recovered without treat
ment. The four remaining cases were of
recovery from rabies, in man in
three cases, and in the horse in
the last. Decroix points out that
in furious rabies the attacks increase
in frequency and intensity during two
or three days. then attain their maxi
mum, and disappear in two or three
days more, whereas death does not oc-

cur until the fifth or sixth day. The en-
inent authorities who have never met
with an instance of recovery are scarcely
justified in denying the occurrence Of
such cases described by those practition-
ers who have seen them. The Rabies
Committee. of which NJ. Decroix was
President, has made since 1874, host
of experiments with various substances
of reputed value in rabies, three of them
with piloearpine, and every supposed
remedy which they employed appeared
actually to hasten death by the violent
paroxysms which it caused The con-
illusions of NJ. Decroix are that it is ex-
perimentally demonstrated that rabies
may terminate in spontaneous recovery.
Up to the present day no agent has
made good its claim as a remedy for ra-
bies The cases of recovery attributed
to this or that agent may be, with equal
Justice, aScribed to the spontaneous term
nation of the disease. The dogs which
recovered in the experiments carried on
by the committee were left at rest. and
since the administration of medicines
usually provokes convulsive seizures, it
seems desirable, according to our pres
ent knowledge to leave persons affected
with the hydrophobia in the most per-
feet possible calm, trying experiments
only upon animals. In absolute quietude
and obscurity the paroxysms are far
less terrible than when medicines
are administered, and NJ Decroix
asserts that if these conditions could be
secured, he would far rather suffer from
hydrophObia than from many other dis
ease. 1t may, however, be observed
that we are scarcely justified in drawing,
from the superior results of therapeutic
inactivity in dogs, the same lesson in the
case of the disease in man. The admin
/ istration of drug to the human sufferer
may be effected with far less disturbance
than in the case of the dog. Without
/ doubt, however, he is correct in insisting
on the absolute importance of perfect
tranquility, and of the avoidance of
| everything which may in any degree
/ help TO excite the paroxysms. 1t may
1 be doubted also, whether dogs are the
/ best subjects for therapeutic expert
meuts, since it is probable that the con-
! ditions met with in the human subject
/ obtain more closely in the herbivora than
/ in the carniyora. 1t is very desirable,
1 in the case of any recovery from rabies,
1 that it should be ascertained ut what date
the saliva ceases to be infectious, and
/ whether the disease can be commune
/ Gated after the animal has to all appear
! ance recovered, This is not improbable
/ explanation of the occasional alleged oc-
/ currence of the disease from the bite oi
/ healthy animals. -LpRcet.

Fostering the Pastor.

! ''Pious bores are an insutferable nuis-

the occupants in handing books or
finding hymns. He would find out the
names of the pewholders and bore them
with conversation. He would 90 to their

/ He would waylay the minister and mon

l clnsion of members of the church whose
only opportunity to see the pastor might
be in those few moments.
Zone day our pastor. who is an ex-
ceedingly courteous man, was vexed.
The bore darted at him after morning
service and insisted upon talk

But have Some important thoughts
to talk over with you. continued the
bore.

persisted the bore, as he was again re-
buffed in the pastors blandest style.
But still he persevered, until even that
amiable clergyman calculated, If you

.'Clergymen are very often martyrs to
this sort of persecution. Being nom
combatants, they are expected to submit
without resistance There is hardly a
clergyman in New York of any promi-
nence who has not some special bore in
his congregation who almost worries his
life out of him. rockingham had one
who used to get a chair and sit agape
close to the platform, and after service
rush to pull rockingham hand out of
his pocket to shake it. Deems had one
who came so often that the minister was
convinced that the man wanted to steal
his books.
s.But it is old ladies who distress pop
ular young ministers most in this way.
Frequently they have little else to do.
They poster the pastor in his study, in
the church, the Yestry, the doorway and
the street, until life becomes a burden to
him, and yet he dares not protect himself
lest he should be accused of lack of in
terest in his work. The poor parsons
cannot, like ordinary folk, say they are
not at home when they are. They can
not be harsh or abrupt, but have simply
to bear it as best they can. Of all the
Affections of clergymen the most often
