ADDRESS OF THE EVENING.
Professor G.. II. Winston was introduced
nv DIR. James a. the orator of the evening.
lie discussed medicine and science. His
address was delivered in Il very agreeable
VEN: atOunding. rs it did, in humOr,
sound sense, and striking passages, 1t gave
Great satisfaction, and was voted a success.
II was delight to the doctors; il was q
Measure to the people it was profitable to
all.
After a general introduction, in which
Mr.. Winston paid q passing tribute to the
late DR.. Coleman, 4 professor in the Col
lcoe. and in which he also humOrOusly
dWelt on his lack Of acquaintance with
medical subjects, be announced rs his
theme "Medicine and Science" He said
- wish to show that medicine is essen
italy science; that it is closely related tc
mauN other sciences. each OF which may be
helpful to It; that its past failures and
blunderings were due mainly TO un-
scientific procedures; that the peculiar
difficulties in its way will yield to better
scientific methods; that, as science, ii
will progress. with indefinite approach to
perfection, and that, when thus perfected,
it will stand peerless among the sciences
that contribute TO the real welfare OF the
human race" Taking up these points one
by one, he showed, first, the real scientific
character of medicine; but by happy COM
parison Of perfect science to perfect Ii
brarv, brought out clearly the fact that med
cine rs science is far from perfect. I'm
der this head he also considered medicine
as an art, and forcibly insisted upon the
importance OF this practical art OF heal
ing. but showed that 1t derived all It's value
from the scientific principles on which II
rested. without these it was empiricisn
and quackery.
Passing TO the relations OF medicine tc
other sciences, he gave the profession &
mild reminder that times have changed
since all knowledge was in the hands OF
tbe doctors. He showed that from the
old phusic, which meant and once in
cluded all nature, one science after another
had been cut oil, as knowledge increased
and division OF labor became necessary, ill
now medicine finds itself surrounded by {
group OF those that, as daughters or as sis.
fers. Il must regard as, IN sense, hel
equals. This point was well illustrated by
a reference TO our own Virginia. He mex
showed that better sanitary science would
improve, directly or indirectly. all tht
sciences. even political economy, ethics
and theology; while q better ethics, ant
especially better logic, might be OF ser
vice TO medicine. More at length he par
ticuIarized the contributions OF his owl

UNIVERSAL HISTORY.

Under this title we have book of five hun
bred pages by DIR. Won Rauke. To say that it
is no easy task to compress universal history
of the ancient world into this compass is but a
mild expression of the truth. DIR. Won Rsuke,
however, has performed very difficult task IN
an admirable manner, as all who read his book
will admit. He begins with ancient Egypt, Us
religion and the idolatrous worship of Western
Asia, from which he passes to the monotheism
of the Jews. After graphic sketch of Jewish
history, he draws for us an historic outline of
Tyre and the Medo- Persian kingdom, which of
course introduces us to the history of Greece;
and this portion of the work will be found
most interesting to the general reader. Fol-
lowing this is view of the universal monar-
chy of Macedonia, and the book closes with an
account of Carthage and Syracuse. The read.
er cannot fail to be deeply impressed as we'll as
interested by this work, which presents to him
in attractive form some of the most fascinating
portions of ancient history. DR. Won Rauke is
well known IS historical writer-too we'll
known, indeed, to require an introduction 20
historical students. The editor, G W. Pro-
there, is a tutor of Kings College, Cambridge,
and is entitled to our thanks for presenting to
American readers SO valuable work as the
one before us.

Mr.. Benjamin. Bunker, delegate to the
Democratic National convention, is still
worrying the Maine Democratic managers.
He remarks this week in his paper, the Fair

Representatives and if it had not been for the
untiring energy and vigilance OF the old
Mossbacks who controlled the organization,
the party would have been badly beaten.n

Ex-President Mark Hopkins in his letter
accepting nomination as one of the Repub-

Senator Mcpherson of New Jersey, at
speech in Trenton the other night declared
that the Democratic party was the party of
protection. Perhaps Mr.. McPherson's end
of the Democratic party is, but his end is
the small end. By far the largest part of
the party are Stree traders" or revenue re-
formers" which means substantially the
same thing. The protection strength of the
party and the free trade strength were tested
in the contest over the Morrison bill. Ev-
erybody knows that fight demonstrated that
the Protectionists were an Insignificant mi
nority and could be counted on the fingers

The report of the committee of the Or
nithologists union which has been investi-
eating the English sparrow is decidedly un-
favorable to that feathered biped. All the
charges of bad conduct are sustained, and
little il anything good in his character or
career since he was introduced into this
country, is found to offset them. In the
opinion of the committee the English SPAR
row ought TO go, and with view to accel-
lerate his going the legislatures of the vari-
GUS States are urged to take the matter in
hand and pass stringent measures.

The New York World, which is ow holly
contending that Cleveland never wrote any
letters commenting the Morrison bill, in
May, when the contest on the bill was in
progress, 10 its Washington specials pub
lished the following:
Governor Grover Cleveland has written letter
to prominent Democratic members of Congress stat
ing that he regrets that the motion to strike the
enacting clause of the Morrison bill was carried,
expressing his belief that the protecionists among
the Democrats made grave mistake, and declar-
ing that the tariff reformers will win at the last
Gsv. Cleveland is to be reckoned revenue re-
former.
Then Gov. Cleveland's friends were seek
ing for him the Democratic nomination and
1t was essential TO success to concilate the
free trade wing of the Democracy. Now his
friends are seeking his election and it is es-
sential to success to concillate the labor

James W. Newman, who heads the Ohio
Democratic ticket as nominee for secretary
of state, advocated in 1852 the passage of
law by the Ohio legislature to prohibit the
immigration of negroes or mulattoes into
the state, with evident intent to prevent
Kentucky slaves escaping from confederate
owners. In 1866 Mr.. Newman opposed the
amendment to the state constitution allow
ing colored citizens to vote. In 1866, in
publishing the vote on the thirteenth amend
ment to the United States constitution, abol-
ishing slavery, Mr.. Newman expressed him
self as ''glad' that the Democrats, with few
exceptions, "true to the history and dignity
of the party, cast their votes in opposition"
Mr.. Newman's record ought TO ensure him
an enthusiastic Democratic support.

Mr.. Gay gives rs in the attractive series en-
TITLED" American Statesmen" the life of man
whose history is deeply interviewer with that
of the nation. Commencing as a delegate to
the Virginia Convention Of 1776, he ended as
President of the United States His close re-
lations with important public events and the
leading men of his time, tended to identify
him with the growth and development of our
system of government In a remarkable degree,
indeed, it is probable that no man who has
attained the presidency since Washington has
done more in shaping our governmental sys-
tenn than Madison. The book commends
itself to all who would have knowledge of
one leading stateman, and should be read as
indeed all the works Of this series should be
by every young man in he country.
In these days of exciting and sensational
fiction it is refreshing and restful to read a
simple, old-fashioned, domestic story of the
real everyday life of good, earnest people.
Such a story is miss Muloch's" latest work
"Miss Tommy" The heroine is as the author
says in the preface, drawn from life, and is
"only woman, nothing MORE" but she is a
noble woman, unselfish, charming and alto
character, a gentleman of the sold school"
whose gentle dignity and old fashioned
courtesy OF manner reminds one of Colonel
Newcome." Included in the volume is
charming short sketch of the sojourn of
week of the author and six young girls "In
House Boat" on the Thames.
Mrs. Sherwood in her book manners and
Social U sages' has happily avoided the rocks

amount of common sense must have already
known. The result is the most nearly perfect
book of etiquette we have seen. A great va
riety of subject is treated, every question that
could be thought of ia anticipated, and expla-
nations are given in a clear and comprehen-
sive manner.
