cept the adherents Of his own party.
A large proportion of the assembled
wisdom" of the state goes for
nothing unless it originates on the
right side of the house. Useful
legislation is thus often INSTRUCTED
in practice by the very persons who
are its most strenuous advocates i'll
theory. Again, unwise measures
fail to be thrown out because every
reason advanced against them passes
unheeded on no other ground than
that the obiector presumes to have
a mind of his own. The best meas
ures are often shorn of half their
usefulness by reckless opposition
offered for opposition's sake. And
the worst concocted schemes are
cheerfully endorsed by party hacks
who, if out of the leading strings,
would denounce the same acts with
all their might. Whether a man in
public life shapes his course by
honest and honorable principles or
from motives of the most deeply
dyed villainy, he is denounced all
the same by political opponents.
Party shirt invests the EMMY mated
demagogue with all the attributes of
the most profound craftsmanship,
and divests the real statesman of
reputation for anything except thor
oughly developed scoundreism.

keep the plague away from US. Any
labor and expense incurred for this
end will answer the threefold pur-
pose of preventing an invasion of
disease, inviting instead a large in
flux of desirable tourists and resi-
dents, and securing the more perma-
nent location of many persons whose
departure would be a heavy loss to
the Kingdom, but who are just now
hating between two opinions whether
to leave or to STAY.

KEEP 1T AWAY.

The idea that cholera, having APP
peared at Nagasaki, Japan, is not
going to reach the Pacific coast, or
these islands from the west, because
the history of its progress in the
past has always found it travelling
westward, may be found of very
little value. Certain it is that the
acceptance of the theory of west
ward course will not prevent the
disease from travelling in the con-
trary direction. 1t will probably
locate where the conditions for its
propagation exist. Dirty streets
and overcrowded tenements are sure
to become hotbeds of the disease
should its germs be once introduced.
And there is another fact almost
equally well established, which is
that airy dwellings, pure water,
nourishing diet, personal cleanliness
and temperate habits, all supple
mented by clean, well kept public
thoroughfares offer no inducements
to the epidemic an dwhere these
principles of sanitation have prac-
tical effect, the spread of cholera
is an all but physical impossibility.
Prompt measures should be taken
forthwith to put this city in trim to

the QUEENS HOSPITAL.

The quarterly meeting of the
Trustees of the Queens Hospital
was held, according to notice, this
forenoon. A change was made in
the scale of charges as follows;
Cinnamon, who used to pay GO cts,
but latterly 40c., will hereafter be
charged 50cts. day. Patients
sent by benevolent societies, who
used to pay 81 but latterly 50cts.,
will have to pay 75cts. AS the So
cieties are apportioned share Of
the passport receipts on their own
account, it is not thought this adj
vance will be deemed a hardship.
The fee for other foreigners is left
at 81 day as before. 1t appears
receipts fell behind expenditures
$4,000 for the quarter, but this is
regarded as only temporary debt
that the ordinary revenues will meet.

A somewhat lively diplomatic
breeze has arisen among the Euro
pean powers with reference to the
proprietorship of the Caroline ISL
ands. The claims of Spain are sup
posed to be secretly supported by
France. 1t will be an interesting
episode in the land grabbing expe-
ditions of European powers, some of
whom are incapable of managing the
territory they have, to see them
plunged into big war over half n
dozen dots of soil ten thousand
miles away. War, however, will not
likely ensue: for "whom the gods
wish to destroy, they first make
mad" and neither of the contest
ants is mad enough to lay out her
millions for the acquisition of so
small and remote prize as the
Carolines.
Amherst College has for twenty
four years tested physical culture,
under the direction of its authori-
ties, in conjunction with mental and
moral discipline. The result is
manifest in graduated inverse
ratio of sickness to the number of
years students have been in the
institution. Thus, the percentage
on the sick list has been 20 percent
for Freshmen, tapering down through
two intervening classes to 10 per-
cent for Seniors. 1t is gratifying to
be able to state that physical train
ing under the superintendent of
tutors is part of the methods of
some educational institutions in this
country.
Prof. Tyndall devoted the pro-
ceeds of his lecturing tour of 1872
3, in the United States, to the en-
couragement of studies IN physical
science. The amount was over $13,-
600, and it was committed to the
charge of three trustees. Originally
the main object of the fund was
"to assist American scientific stu
dents to spend some years at Euro
pean universities, it being the
founders desire that each scholar
should remain four years at a Ger
man university" This having been
found impracticable, owing to most
students Objecting to the terms, with
Professor Tyndall's consent modi-
fication of the scheme has been OBJ
tanned. 1t is announced that the
accumulated fund, amounting to
| $50, 600, is to be devoted to the
maintenance by Harvard, Columbia
and Pennsylvania universities of
graduate scholarships in the Depart
ment of Physics. Science predicts
that the name of Prof. Tyndall, an
English physicist, will always be
remembered with gratitude in the
land that gave Rumford to hold
distinguished position in the Royal
institution of Great Britain.

A scheme Of real socialism is in

Karl Blind claims to be able to
prove that Victor Hugo was Of Ger
man origin, and Frenchman only
by the accident of circumstances.
France, however, owns the illustrious
author by virtue of the proverbial
"nine points of the law" His life
was French, his works likewise, and
France gave him honor abundant
and a tomb. Still, the proof Karl
Blind claims ability to produce would
be very irritating to the French
mind.
Az trade meeting of the iron
workers of Auckland, New Zealand,
it was shown that within two years
machinery to the value of million
and quarter dollars had been i'm
ported at that port. The secretary
of the meeting argued that the work
ingmen should combine to have the
importation of machinery stopped.
He expatiated upon the benefits tc
local trade that would accrue from
having all that machinery made al
home. That depends. If the coun-
try can more easily and cheaply
raise products that would pay for
the machinery abroad, than it car
manufacture the machinery, then the
benefits of prohibiting importation
would be very difficult to demon
strate.

Mrs. Christian Zelle, aged sixty.three
wears. of Carondelet, ST. Louis, Missouri,
had chronic ulcer on her leg which had
been running for forty three years. TO
use her own language, she had "tried all
the doctors" but without perceptible ben
eft. Two of the most noted OF this city
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to a distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March 81, this
year, she commenced using DR.. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to-day the leg IS
entirely healed, and the thankful old Lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty three years.

one month under DR.. Hartman and his

ment, he has done more for her in this
short space of time than the oculists did
