Honor to whom Honor is Due"

Although inclined, in many instances, to re
spect the feelings of the doubling Thomas,
and more especially in this age of the world
when an upshaokled press is flooding the
country with printed matter of every class
and description, we must give honor to whom
honor is due, and feel proud that our old New
England home can boast of physicians, whose
skill has placed them at the head of their pro.
fession. The various forms of chronic ailmept
common to the people of this climate are
treated with a success not generally attained

and an examination will only be necessary tc
convince the most skeptical that their claims
can be fully substantiated. The facts speak
more emphatically than any words which we
can use, and the testimony of those who have
already tried for themselves gives a double
assurance. As these gentlemen are with us, ID
may prove of interest to let the public know
what is said of them elsewhere, and more es-
pecially at their home in Lowell, SO we APP

Drs. Damon and Wesley are still drawing
crowds of anxious invslids to their parlors on
Main street, to avail themselves of the very
remarkable skill exhibited by these great nat.

asking question, and can remove them in
simultaneously. Out of the hundreds examined

Highlands had been confined to her room for
nearly saven years, most of the time wholly
unable to assist herself. After trying many
physicians without help, she sent for DR. Da-

A Strong Statement in Approval
of His Administration of

For some time past there has been an effort
IN progress to present the re-appointment Of

the committee had before them statement

A New Type Of IrOn-Clad.

Sir Edward Reed has recently in
vented an improvement in armor-plated
men-of-war which is expected to render
them to large extent secure against
the attacks of torpedoes.
Instead of placing the engines and
magazine in the lower part of the hull.
where they could be injured by the ex-
plosion Of torpedo, Sir Edward Reed
places them in the upper part of the hull
of his newly designed vessel. To this
vessel he gives great breadth above the
water line, and he covers her with a
dome-shaped turtle-back deck, intended
to be entirely shot-proof- partly in con-
sequence of its inclination. The hull Of
this vessel is intended merely to float
the armored upper part, and is not to be
used either for engines, stores, or quar-
ters for the men. 1t is to be furnished
with a vast number of small water-tight
cells, and even if the whole of it is blown
to pieces by torpedoes the upper part of
the ship viii float like a vast raft. The
hull can be made with lines adapted for
great speed, and no matter what breadth
of beam may be given to the vessel above
the water line it cannot affect her speed
except by the resistance its surface may
offer to the wind.
OF course, the value of this invention
can be determined only by experience.
It certainly promises well, and it is Of
peculiar interest to Americans just at
This time. As we have neither ships nor
guns, we are accustomed to console our
selves by assuming that we can defend
our harbors with torpedoes against
hostile feet. If, however, a man-of-war
an be made practically impregnablc to
assault by torpedoes, there is nothing
o hinder one of Sir Edward Reeds yes
els from steaming up our Bay and bonn
'arding New York city at short range
