THE ~pugnacity of Senator Blair,
which was entirely unsupported until
his controversy with a southern sena-
tor about a month ago, and the dis
covery Of which gave him a new pres
tige, was again displayed on Monday
when he denounced the president as an
infamous llbeler, reference being made
to the now memorable reflections made
by Mr.. Cleveland on the character OF
Mary Ann Dougherty. Congress, it
will be remembered. passed a pension
bill for the relief of Mrs. Dougherty,
and in vctoing it the president charged
that she had been a woman of bad char
acter. 1t vas a proceeding of question
able %propriety, to say the least, OF the
part of Mr.. Cleveland, and the evidence
since obtained appears to con-
clusively show that it was also
u~nwarranted. Mr.. Blair has been
especially earnest in championing the
cause of Mrs. Dougherty, doubtless
from a chivalrous spirit. and his re-
marks on Monday show that he has
the cause very much at heart. He GER.
tainly did not help it, however. so far
as this administration is concerned, by
his Characterization of the president,
however justitiable that was, and Mrs.
Dougherty must count upon waiting
until there is a successor to Mr.. Clevc'
and before she can hope to have justice
| done here.

Driving ON SUNDAY.

From the Boston Transcript.
Some Boston people who are spending the sum-
mer down on the North Shore have been visited
by young female relative from Maine, who
showed no great interest in the surroundings OF
the pretty seaside home. 1t has been little hard
to know just what to do to amuse the young lady,
and the other sunday, after church, her hosts.
tearing that perhaps the time was hanging heavily
on her hands, proposed to take her for walk
along the shore. The young girl from Maine held
up her hands in holy horror.
'Go to walk!" sne exclaimed. "MyI guess
not! guess the folks down to Boothbay'd think
was pooty savage II went to walk on Sundayl"
The young lady's entertainers thought best to
say nothing inore on the subject Her protest was
a revelation 70 them, however, OF the od-fash.
Toned Ideas which still prevail In some parts OF
New England. Solar as the Listener has observed.
the notion that it Is wicked to Ego to walk" for
pleasure on Sunday has survived longer than the
notlon that IL Is wicked to drive that day. why
II should be wicked to walk on Sunday but not to
assumption that the WEAKNESS and distress To-
nicted upon the horse takes on something from the
quit OF the human being. Macaulays remark that
the PurltanS reprObated be.r-baiting, not on &C.
count OF the pain thatt gave TO the bear but on &C
count OF the pleasure 1t gave the human beings was
founded on profound knowledge OF the Puritan
nature. The Listener fully believes that the thought
that Sunday driving inflicted upon the horse the
pain OF unnecessary toll never cut any figure IN
the Old-fashiOn.d time when Sunday driving was
still regarded as wicked; and with the relaxation
OF the Old rules the prejudice against Sunday
driving Was consequently one OF the first things TO
disappear. Tine Listener Is aware that In some
places exactly the opposite state OF things pre-
walls. AT Newport, for instance, everybody walks
on the cliffs on Sunday, but nobody who Is any
body ventures to drive on that Gay. But this not
because people think that driving on Sunday Is
wicked, but because II Is not In good form.

Water Before aud at Meals.

From the British Medical Journal.
Opinions differ as to the efrect OF the free in
gestion Of water at meal times, but the view gen.
orally received is that 1t dlutes the gastric juice
and so retards digestion. Apart from the fact
that moderate delay In the process is by no
means disadvantage, as Sir Williams Roberts has
shown In his explanation Of the popularity OF tea
and coffee, 1t is more than doubtful whether any
during meals water may do good by washing out
the digested food, and by exposing The undigested
part more thoroughly to the acuon Of the diges-
tive fermentS.
Pepsin is the catalyptic body, and given guam
ttty VIII work almost indefinitely, provided the
peptoneS are removed as they are formed. The
