about nine hours. The patient slept profoundly

clear the throat. The minimum of morphine is
being given, and that is divided as recently
stated. Ii the first half of the regular nightly
allowance not only neutraliZes the pa in but iti-
duces sleep, the second half is not given. Al
though nve or six drops of morphine have been
given the patient nightly for many weeks he
mas not grown in the least to crave il. and he
now regards the anodyne only as Il means to
an end. In the early part OF his severe illness

one period of the twenty-four hours is more de-
pressin. than another, ii falls between l and )

marked by what the general designates as a

Increased Mail Facilities.

AN EARLIER TRAIN FOR THE SOUTH SECURED.
The Baltimore newspapers have complained
good deal because the early mail from that
city for the south was detained in this city until
after ten O'Clock for the reason there was no
train on the Virginia Midland earlier than that
hour. 1t was claimed that the New York
papers were thus taken down south Oh the
same train as the Baltimore papers, and people
in that section got the papers Of the two cities
ut the same hour. This was thought to tnjure
the business of Baltimore. An effort has been
made to have o train that would take the Balti-
more papers south at an earlier hour, but the
Virginia Midland people said that the travel
did not warrant another or an earlier train. Mr..
Knott, of Baltimore, the new second assistant
postmaster general, has, however, now arranged
Tor train which will leave here, beginning on
the 9th inst, every week day at u. m. via the
Virginia Midland, and the Baltimore mail will
be carried on that train, leaving here some four
hours before the New York mail arrives. A
hour each day for the north. The cost TO the
government will be %, 200 per annum, which is
paid for running the postal car: The railroad
company believe that they will be able 70 In
crease the passenger traffic so as to make this
extra train pay. The Washington mail will 60
out on this train instead OF waiting until after
ten O'Clock when the New York mail arrived.

hibited to the Madison Physicians.
MADISON, Wis, July lat the Dane County
Medical society's annual meeting last evening
an interesting feature was the exhibition by
DR.. Settlers, of StOughton, of a young Nor
wegian, named Iverson, who was suffering
from leprosy. The patient presented horri-
BILE appearance, his face being bloated and
covered with ugly blotches, the whole red in
color and strangely unnatural. The skin was
thick on his face, hands and feet, and could be
pricked severely without the patient feeling
any pain. The disease developed in Iverson
two years ago, being preceded by a rheumatic
sensation. The disease is hereditary in the
IversOn family, though previous to the present
lamentable case 1t had not developed for sew
eral generations. Leprosy is rare in this vicin-
fty and Iverson's case has caused sensation
not confined to medical circles.

CRITICISING woLFF'S APPOINTMENT.
The appointment OF Sir Henry Drummond
Wolff To special mission to Egypt is meeting
with some criticism. His ability and dplo-
matte experience are more than offset by the
fact that he is a director of the Anglo Egy ptian
Bank. II NorthbroOks appointment is wrong
because he is connected with Baring's and Go
schenS because he is a member of the firm of
Fruhing & GoSchen. WOlftS is infinitely more
Objectionable tor similar reasons. Moreover
