DR.. HOLMES IN REPLY TO GEN.
BUTLER

At the centennial celebration Of the
founding Of the Harvard Medical School.
Wednesday. in reply to Gov. Buffers re-
cent attacks, DR.. Holmes said:
at Is always easy 10 excite the odium
OF the ignorant against dissection. but In
view Of It's great value TO mankind the In
telligeut should always defend Il against
appeals 20 ignorance and passion. espec-
tally against such inhammatory appeals as
leads TO well-grounded apprehension OF
MONDAY mobs and midnight incendisries.
In the face OF sn peccsdilloes and Idle
ISLANDERS the difficult and delicate duties OF
the several demonstrators have always
been dlscreetly and humanely fulfilled, and
the record OF the school is most honorable
both 20 them and 70 the classes they have
instructed Let us rememember, amid the
false and foolish stories 20 which we are
compelled To listen, that for every lifeless
body dissected at the Harvard Medical
School hundreds, II not thousands, have
been saved from extreme anguish and
many from premature death as result Of
tina, dissection. Human remains preserved
in very way calculated to illustrate scien-
tihc discoveries are In the museum of the
school Some tanned skins were there,
but have not seen them lately. Perhaps
the cases may have been left open when
INSCRIPTIONS strangers were strolling
through the building. 1t may even have
happened that some poor man whose leg
was amputated gave leave that the skin
taken from it should be tanned in consid-
Grafton OF the promise of wallet or per
haps slipper for his remaining foot. At
all events, the museum ,s one OF great val
ne TO science and Is an attraction TO all
scientific visitors. Let US take heed lest
the passion of the Ignorant, once aroused,
It may share the fate that once befell the
incompatible libraries Of Alexandria.

pledge of secrecy, could but assure him
that he would receive sufficient number
of votes from the Independent Demo
Gratis to elect him. 1t need not be said
that this was grateful news to him.--as
he remarked, "almost too good to be
true"
The next day, during the balloting,-
and even after, while the committee were
out counting the votes, -"no choice was
freely whispered through the House; and
we well remember that as the committee
who had received the votes were retiring,
the Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,, the Democratic
candidate, remarked to US, that ''of course
there would be no choice on that ballot.
The report of the committee that William
Pitt Fessenden was elected for the SEN
ate had just sent in message that he
had been chosen in that branch) came
upon the members OF both the old parties
like thunder bolt in clear sky. For
a few moments the silence of death reigned
throughout the old Representative Hall,
and it was only broken when Lot M.
Morrill, slowly arose from his seat, walked
across the area in front Of the clerks
desk and, taking Mr.. Fessenden by the
hand. warmly congratulated him upon
his election. The utmost painful silence
was then broken by words Of congratula-
ton, in which none joined more heartily
than the little band Of Independents.
whose sklllful management had so essen
tally aided in bringing about success
full result. And it is but an act OF JUS
tice to the memory of an old personal
friend, who now sleeps in the dust
mean the late Hon. George Libby Of
Westbrook-to say that from the very
start he seemed to comprehend the situa-
ton, and was the warm friend and advo-
cate of Mr.. Fessenden's election. When
Others faltered be stood firm, and 1t was
largely through his efforts that success
full result was reached; and in this he was
backed up by Bisbee Of Sumner, Sanborn
of Baldwin, and Others whose names have
escaped my memory. In conclusion, 1t
only remains for me to say that the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Fessenden paved the way tor
a complete consolidation of the an'i-slav-
cry sentiment in Maine into one political
organization, ever since known and rec
ognized as the Republican party; while
j, gave to Maine and the country one of
the most able and brilliant statesmen
that ever graced seat in the highest
legislative body in the world; a states
man whose record upon the page Of his
tory will grow brighter and brighter
down to the latest posterity.

The Presidents Perquisites.

1t was the established practice until
the era of Grantlsm to refurnish the
Executive Mansion at every new Pres
idential term. The old and worn out
furniture was sold, and the money
thus obtained was added TO a moder-
ate appropriation to buy whatever
might be properly needed to equip the
White House afresh.
Gen. Grant brought in practices of
extravaganza that had never been pre-
viously known, and among them was
the habit of asking for money to re-
furnish and repair the Executive Man
sion every year. He got the contin-
gent fund increased, and it now is
eight thousand dollars added to the
regular salary. Besides these extras,
he obtained often ten thousands year
for the greenhouses.
For the fiscal year Of 1881, when
Garfield came in, Congress appropria-
ted for care and repairs and for furni-
ture of the Executive Mansion, $zO,-
600, and for fuel and greenhouses ST.
500.
For the fiscal year 1882 Congress
appropriated for care repairs, and fur
nitare of the Executive Mansion, $780,
600; for an elevator, $4,000, and for
fuel apd greenhouses, $500.
For the fiscal year 1883 Congress
appropriated for care and repairs Of
the Executive Mansion, $40, 900; fur
niture $4,000, and for fuel and green
houses, $4,000.
For the fiscal year 1884 1t is pro-
posed to appropriate for care and re.
pairs and furniture of the Executive
Mansion, $25, 900, and for fuel and
greenhouses, $4,000.
EVERYBODY acquainted with the sub
ject knows that these appropriations
bave not been expended FOR furniture
or for the purposes specified. During
the whole Of Hayes Fraudulent Ad.
lministration the furniture was little
changed, though the money was an
nually granted for ii.
