THE New Hampshire medical society, in
annual session at Concord yesterday, after
excited discussion, indefinitely postponed
a resolution to allow members to consult
with any physician legally allowed to
practise in the state.
SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, will
have practically no opposition in his can
vass for a reelection, his only formidable
competitor, Walter l.. Bragg, having
withdrawn. This is credita6le to the sem
timent Of the state, as Mr.. Morgan has
proved an able and honorable senator.
MIR. HUBBELL has returned to Washing
ton from a trip to Michigan, whittier he
went to see about senatorial prospects.
He expects to force Senator Ferry out Of
his seat and to take it himself. At this
distance it looks as though Mr.. 1lubbelPs
campaign is to be entirely Pickwickian.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, Thirty years
ago, asked Bancroft how far lie proposed
to continue his history of the United
States, and the reply was " If were an
artist painting picture Of this ocean my
work would stop at the horizon. l can
see no further. My history will end with
the adoption of the constitution. All lie
yond that is experiment"
EUGENE HALE, whose name appears on
the blackmailing circular issued to federal
officeholders by the Republican campaign
committee, will, it is announced, defend
the scheme in speech in the Senate.
That may be good way to help the Re-
publican party in Maine out of its embar-
RAISING position, but it wont hurt the
Democrats any.
WHEN Judges Livingston and Patter.
son appended to McMellen's S1,SOO bill a
recommendation that he should have
"very liberal compensation" for re-
arranging the papers in the prothonotary' IS
office, they hit upon phrase which fits
Sammy Groff's little job in getting 1886
from the county for q safe which cost him
$125 second hand, and which could be
bought new for $17O.
THE young Earl of Shrewsbury, whose
escapade with married woman of the
name of Miller -Munday petrified the Eng
lish dowagers last summer, has returned
from his winter cruise in the Mediter-
ranean and last Sunday was married to
his ensnarer, who has succeeded in getting
divorce from her former husband. The
youthful bridegroom is just twenty one,
and English aristocracy will accept the
first countess in tho kingdom just tho same
honorable form.
If the new executive mansion is to be
built alongside of the present one. as Sem
tor Morrill, intimates, long headed OBJ
server rises to inquire what is the uso of
spending the three hundred thousand dol
lars at all ? The main motive for an ad-
ditional building is the alleged insa!ubrity
of the present site, so near tho Potomac
marshes. No ono claims that the present
White House is not big enough, or that
the situation is not handsome. Under
these circumstances, what's the use of a
new $500, 600 building on the same spot .
THE scientific proposition is now made
that human saliva in normal condition is
poisonous. A physician who has been in
vestigating the subject and making some
experiments finds that injected into rab.
bits it will produce death in periods vary
ing from twenty-fo hours to three weeks.
The tests showed also that the saliva of
some races when brought into contact with
septic material is moro virulent than that
of others that negroes and residents of
the tropics exhibit an extreme degree of
virulence, and that the virulence seems to
bear decided relation to the amount of
tobacco used by the individual !; that is to
say, the saliva of smokers either did not
kill at all, or else killed in an inverse pro-
portion to the amount of tobacco used.
