IN A STILL HOUR
Two Learned Men Have Talk and
Come to Common Conclusion.

ssThere can be no question as to that" said
DIR. p, who is prominently connected with
certain hospital, to his friend, the House
Surgeon, as the two sat having smoke and a
quiet chat in the reception room late on re-
cent stormy nighttime question at all. Ever
since l began practice in that little country
village you've heard me speak Of, away up
near Lake Ontario, thirty years ago, L have
felt-in common with all other physieians-the
need of a reliable plaster. There are so many
diseases-if, indeed, the majority do not come
under the rule-for which good external APP
plication is better than remedies poured into
patients stomach"
That's so, Doctor, and TO show you my faith
in your theory may say that since have held
my position here / have opposed the idea Of
dosing people, except in cases when we were
at our wits end and it seemed to be that or
nothing. Some soothing application, If the
patient needs anything, combined with rest
and good nursing, will do the business-save
where cases of accidents require heroic treat
ment."
II say, Doctor" said the other, 'you can
speak of it, or not, just as you like, but in my
private practice when 1 want anything OF the
sort, l use BENSON'S .CAPCINE POROUS

too, that it is being rapidly introduced in the
principal hospitals of London, Paris and other
leading cities in Europe"
"You needn't fret, my FRIEND" laughed the
House Surgeon, 'over the chance OF being
caught in an act of professional heterodoxy,
for we use Benson's here every day, and so
they do at the other city hospitals. We find it
so much better than liniments, lotions, ETC.,
that the bottles are actually getting scarce in

III. IL. McCalIum.

\ brief telegram from Jacksonville, re-
ceiyed last evening, announces the death
of Rev. II. b. McCallum, late editor and
proprietor of the Jacksonville Union,
which he had but recently sold to the
prOprietOrs Of the Jacksonville Times.
He died on Tuesday morning, at 1880
O'clock, of consumption, after many years
Of suffering from this dread disease.
The life of Mr.. McCullum was one of
patient and earnest labor I'm his chosen
On-journalism-fOr which he had
a natural bent, and which he successfully
cultivated. He was clear thinker and a
vigorous writer, and his political cOntri-
buttons, which have frequently graced
the columns of the Union, were marked
by great power of mental effort and
vigorous incisiOn of expression,
which made them always readable
and always telling. His political princi-
pies were of the pure JetfersOnian Demo-
cratic type, and during the struggles of
the Democracy in our sister State his
trenchant pen was ever welded in the
cause he so faithfully espoused.
Only the Saturday previous to his death
had the announcement been made
that by an arrangement tremendously
made the Union and Times had been
merged, the Times becoming the pur-
chaser. The next issue of the Times an
nOunced his unexpected death. In the
death of Mr.. McCallum Southern journal
ism loses one of its brightest ornaments,
and the State he so well served, and whose
interests he always so warmly defended,
a valuable citizen. Our heartiest sympa-
thy goes out to his family and large circle
of friends in their sad bereavement.

The Pilot Laws

Of Georgia ON the eOnstitutiOnality of the
pilOtage laws of the state. AS this de-
cisiOn is OF great interest to large num-
Der Of people, merchants, masters, owners
and pilots of vessels, we Will pub

Tompkins created considerable confusion
in the shipping interests of this and other
ports in the State, but it had the effect Of
bringing the matter before the supreme
tribunal and having the yexed question
settled.
The Supreme Court holds that the pilot
age law of the State does not conflict with
the Constitution of the United States nor
with the Federal statute, and confirms the
rights of pilots conferred under its pro-
visions.

Professor c. 4. Young, of Princeton
College, delivered the fourth of his course
of popular lectures on astronomy at the
Church of the Stranger, in New York
few nights ago. The subject of the lecture
was the ''Planetary SYSTEM" and was
illustrated by stereOpticOn views. Prof.
Young began by saying he could not give
a very clear idea of the planetary system
in the hour and half allotted to him, but
that he could at least give some idea of the
system to which the earth belongs.
Granting gravitatiOn, it can be said where
a planet was thousands of years ago
and where it will be thousands of years
hence. The universe is not crowded;
there is plenty of room for the planetary
system. The nebular hypothesis of the
genesis of the solar system is substantially
true. 4 mass of cloud and dust not OF
uniform density coming together in space,
coming from no one knows where, would
produce a whirling motion; this whirling
motion would result in the formation of
bodies of different sizes and different
densities, and the solar system would
finally be evolved from these masses. The
mutual action of the planets upon each
other is not sufficient to destroy the solar
system, but extraneOus causes may do so,
and all the planets may eventually be
swallowed up in the sun.

Mr.. Edwin A. Merritt, Consul General
n, London. has had an opportunity to
studv the British civil service at short
range. and in his annual report to the
state Department he eXplOdes the fiction
that the service is wholly divorced from
politics. The general Impression over
here has been that British politicians of
the dominant party could not distribute
patronage. and that the service was quite
efFectually covered by the competitive ex-
animation system. The fact is, that the
lower grades only, TO wit: those cOmpris-
ing positions commanding less than f4OO
each per annum, are covered by the rules.
while all positions commanding more
than that in the home and all in the for
eign service continue, as under the old or
patronage system, TO be filed by the heads
of departments or by the crown. As Mr..
Merritt was selected by the gOodgoody
HAYES and Honest John Sherman to re-
place tat eminent practical politician,
Chester A. Arthur, he is surely an I'M
nreludiced witness. 1t is in order now for
Curtis. Godkin, Eaton, Schurz and the
purists in general to make it warm for the
honest Consul.

Advices from British Columbia, received

Metlakatla was due to the interference Of
Bishop Ridley. 1t appears that the Bishop
was sent out to British Columbia by the
Church Of England Missionary Society of
London. to cooperate with Mr.. Duncan,
the missionary. Instead Of doing this,
the Bishop took possession of two mission
buildings erected by Duncan, and assert
ed his authority" The Indians, however,
s.combined and successfully removed the
buildings, although the Bishop stood by
with a loaded dOuble-barreled shot gun"
The Indians refuse TO recognize temporal
or spiritual authority in Ridley, and as he
provOked hOstilities his removal is looked
for. One would imagine that the church
as represented by Ridley is decidedly
militant.
