What Young Doctors Dread Most.

In a conversation with doctor, he
said to me: "Do you wish to know the
greatest source Of worriment 10 a young
practitioner? II is that he will be called
to save poisoned person. There are so
many sorts Of poison, the symptoms are
so intricate, and the antidotes so varied,
that it is almost impossible to keep them
in ones head by merely theoretical learn
ing. Actual experience impresses knowl-
edge on a doctor, and an old man has
accumulated stock in that way, but the
youngsters don't have it within sudden
reach.
in the ordinary routine Of practice, he
can delay treatment long enough 10 look
into text book or to consult with some
kindly old chap in the profession; but
when we are hastily summoned 10 tho
side Of patient with poison in his
stomach, the nature Of which can only
be determined by symptoms, and whose
life can only be saved by quick dosing
with the right drug, the responsibility is
something frightful. What do do?
carry in an inner pocket thin book con-
tanning summary of poisons, symptoms
and antidotes. That is a common prac-
tice with young doctors, and few old
ones. too"
The liability to summons as a witness
in court after attending to poisoning
case makes physicians additionally alert
and anxious. That lends terror 10 the
risk of mistakes.-New York Cor Chi
cago Journal.

A sewer is building in Washington.
which is seven feet larger in diameter
than any other in the world. In its small
est part it is larger than the largest Of the
sewers in Paris. For over 1000 feet it is
a circular sewer of twenty-five feet in
diameter. There is connected with it a
sewer 5000 feet, or nearly one mile, in
length and twenty feet in diameter. A
fully-equipped palace car, locomotive
and all. could be run through ii without
difficulty. This enormous sewer is in
tended to drain the immense watershed
lying to the north of the city. Besides
that, 1t will carry TO the eastern branch
of the Potomac all the contents of the
smaller system Of sewers in the northern
part of the city. 1t will take a year to
complete the work.-Boston Budget.

There are now published so many
books OF history designed for the enter
tainment of young people and intended
for easy reading rather than for earnest
study, that school teachers should exer-
else some care to see that their pupils
do not get false impressions Of historical
characters and events from them. IL is
a great temptation for an author, aim
ing at popularity, to sacrifice plain truth
TO the pi turesgue. especially in treat
ing OF the exploits of some OF the EARL.
est explorers OF New World. Those old
spanish eonquerers, for instance, were
a very avaricious and brutal lot, and il
is not well that they should be placed
altogether in heroic attitudes.

The President declines to give to
the Senate the facts regarding the ad-
ministration of is office by the late
United States district attorney for Al
ALBANIA. He considers in the first
place that the Senate is beating about
the bush in an endeavor to ascertain
by indirection the reasons which gov
erned him iu suspending This officer.
If the Senate desires to know these
reasons let them ask for information
without circumlocution. Is the Presi-
dents position, and IL will then be
detefm; ned whether he will comply
or not. it is assumed that he will re-
fuse in any event. While the Presi-
dents crit cism of the Senate's indi-
rection is well founded, the position
he Is uDdeTsi I'D to maintain, that
that body has no business with his
reasons for suspending an officer, Is
neither good law nor good sense.
Both as to appointments and removals
the President acts "by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate" and
since Mr.. Clevelaud's loudest boast Is
that he is governed in his action by the
good of the service rather than by the
politics of the appointee. he can, If
honest have only the best of reasons
for his suspensions, which for his own
vindication he should always be ready
to give. The truth Is, however, that
80 long as shch an enormous patron
age Is part Of the presidential per-
quisites, and the dispenser of this
patronage is q man, born of woman,
and subject to the ambitions and
temptations of humanity, he will
never rise wholly superior to the con-
ditions which environ him.
Never will the reform Of
the civil service become a
practical realization until the
appointing power Of the Presidents Is
Withdrawn, and the selection rs well
% the tenure of the ofiiceholder is
placed bepond the reach of the polit-
ical machine, or until the President IL
made ineligible to second term and
il thereby placed beyond the tempta-
tion TO use the spoils Of his Office to re-
ward party zeal or personal service.

Tuesday, February a, 1886.

GEN. SHERMAN has a sharp pen but
short memory. No longer ago than
last September he wrote a letter TO
Col. II. n. Scott, in which he said,
"Had G. +. Smith lived, Grant would
have disappeared to history after Dom
elson." When this extract was print
ed by Fry in an article in the North
American Review, Sherman flew into
print TO assert that ii was ian utter
impossibility" that he could ever have
used this language; charged Fry with
having invented it to libel Grant for
the purpose Of confuting the libel, and
generally and particularly character
lied Fry as prevarlcator, and wrote
10 Adjt.-Gen. Drum demanding that
the Secretary of War invoke his au-
thoIity to compel Gen. Fry to disclose
the source of his information and hint
ed that court martial was the proper
recourse in the case. Gen. Fry wrote
a temperate letter to the North Amer
lean Review in answer To all this blus-
ter and ended by inclosing the origi-
nal letter Of Gen. Sherman, which
reads as follows:
st. Louis, Mo. Sept. @, lSS5.-Col.
II. n. Scott, War Records, Washing
ton, ID. C.-Dear Sir:-Now as t. Hal
leck and Grant. / had the highest
possible opinion of Halleck's knowl-
edge and power, and never blamed
him for mistrusting Grants ability.
Had &. Z. Smith lived Grant would
have disappeared TO history alter DON
elson. Smith was a strong, vigorous
man when l reported to him in person
at Fort Henry. With great respect,
your friend. w. Il. SHERMAN.
There are two very delicate ques-
tions which will force themselves upon
the attention of Gen. Sherman. The
first of course Is, what he will do
with his absolute denial of having
written what is now produced over his
own signature, and second, whether he
will justify or repudiate his language
regarding Grant, which in subsequent
letters he treats as a libel which il is
impossible" he could have written.
Evidently the bluff old general has ar
rived ut time in life when he should
trust his glory to the past achieve
ments of his sword rather than the
present exploits Of his goose quill

A Way Of Getting Around IL.

Gen. Toombs had apecsliar way of get
ting around defeat. In controversy with
a northerner, who finally exclaimed,
"well, general, we licked you, anyhow
he retorted: Licked us! No, sir! No such
thing! We wore ourselves out whipping
you!" Gen. Jim" Lane Of kansas al
most equaled that when, in tho early
part of the civil war, he responded to q
question about rather hurried retreat Of

The good women of New Mexico
are complaining of the law of that
Territory, governing the social evil
and are petItioning the Legislature to
change the age of "consentn from
Ten to eighteen years. After indors-
ing the move, the Albuquerque Citi-
zen reads lesson, the following be-
ing an extract:
We unhesitatingly say that the
fault is not so much with the law, as
with the accursed customs of the
day, which looks in leniencv upon
acts in man which meets with the
severest condemnation i'll woman.
If you would see society in all its
neakedness, go to the ball room, and
look upon young ladies and mothers
us they appear in the merry dance,
with one or two yards of "trail" dus-
ting the floor, when yard of it on
the upper portion of their dress would
hide that which should not be ex-
hibited to the gaze of a gaping pub
lie. We have seen in ball rooms of
this city, women accompanied by
daughters well in their teens whose
elegant dresses were a yard or more
TOO long at the bottom and a foot
100 short at the top, when consider
ed from strictly moral standpoint.
Our measurment may not be exact
as to inches, as it was taken at long
range with the eye. Again you will
notice at these parties, young ladies,
ranging from twelve years upwards,
in the waltz, pressed bosom to breast
with their partner, an embrace which
if occurring elsewhere, even in the
home, would if known, condemn the
Young lady to social ostracism, and
right in those waltzes as now en-
gagged in, and in the ''looseness" of
dress, is hundred fold greater dan
ger than exists in the law on our
statute books, however defective it
may be. We do not object to dance
when properly and morally conduct
cd; on the other hand we believe in
them. They are an aid in smoothing
down the rough edges of life. Let
the reform commence at the root of
the evil--in the home, and it will
matter but little whether there is or
is not law on the statute books to
guard the purity of the young. The
best and most effective law to put in
practice when male scoundrel trans
gresses the moral law by the ruin of
any girl, is the shotgun or the cord.
Let these be used by an outraged
paientage, with regularity, and the
homes will be made safer and the
world purified.

Home at night,
Gets a kiss;
That's all right.

On his knee,
Sits and talks,
Waiting tea.

And a starei
On his coat
Sees a hair,

Won't come back
Till he's tight.
