The strength Of woman is in approach
ing every question on the personal side.
AS an English writer Of 1S4l says
Offices Of care and tenderness, Of com
fort and soothing, have the best sources
of their discharge in that unfailing pity
which dwells in womanhood. For one
characteristic of the other sex is that it
Is with extreme difficulty that they gener
alize; they care for the welfare of indi-
viduals, but rarely for that of states or
communities. Patriotism In its true
sense can scarcely be said to exist among
them. When they attach themselves to
one party It is not so much that they care
much for the success of the general
measures advocated by it. but rather they
desire the party TO succeed for the sake
Of the individuals In 1t whom they love.
Public spirit is with them almost an
affectation. and the eagerness Of argu.
ment which would evince it only serves
TO detract from their loveliness. Unriv-
allied in their influence over the indivic
ual, they are weak aud powerless in all
that relates TO classes or grand divisions.
The legislative man does not belong TO
them, nor the spirit Of government.

IT is scarcely sensible to attempt any
criticism upon the trials of the new
'fad' Of DR.. Brown Sequard in this city
They have been unscientifc and value.

victims Of the craze. AS craze it is
likely to be short-lived because the news

almost universally ridiculed the propo.
sition that senility can be averted by such
means. So soon as some scientific, relia-

JUDGE TERRY OF California has been
KILLED. The event could scarcely have
beer otherwise He is the man who said
with demoniacal calmness and fendish
candor: "Ah. have struck him little
too high, as Senator Broderick reeled
and fell dead on the duelling field in 1859.
Terry's bullet had pierced Broderick's
lungs and the wound was fatal Since
that time Terry has led tempestuous
career Just such a career as would
naturally follow such beginning. 1t
was not an ordinary duel. The FIRE Of
Broderiek was drawn or came by accident
and then Terry coolly shot him to death.
Mr. Davis, the owner of the farm on
which the duei took place, cried THAT
is murder, Immediately after the fatal
shot was fred. And so it was. Judge
Terry was a murderer His prominence
and notoriety of late years have
been in connection with Sarah Althea
Hill and the Sbaron-Hin scandal He
was counsel for the woman ia the nauseous
sharon case and pending the trial
married her. They we're both desperate
and dangerous. Both had attempted to
take Justice Fields life and both had
suffered Imprisonment for it. Both had
threatened Justice Field with
death. Consequently na-rtv Nsgis

Ohio Republicans seem disposed to
make the most of the old Payne Senator
isl scandal in the next legislative elec
tions, and Murat Halstead is being
doomed as the champion Of political in
tegrity. But If the 0hioans win look
along the senatorial seats they will see a
great many more men beside Mr. Payne
who owe their elections to corrupt ap-
pliances. 1t must be said in behalf Of
Senator Payne that no trace of corrup
ton was ever brought to his own door,
and that on the score of abilities he is
amply qualified for the high position
Can as much be said for some other mem
bers Of the Senator Moreover, no por-

there was snv chance for him to assassi-
nate Justice Field. Under other circum-
stances Deputy Marshal Nagle might
have waited but e might have been
fatal to wait on such a desperate man as
Judge Terry backed by a virago like
Sarah Althea. In case Of any doubt it
was much better to kill Terry. The
world can spare him, and no doubt his
consort will be spared in similar man
ner. Both have characters which court
violent, tragic death.

IT may not be true that Boulanger's
sun has set-that his career is finished
He never was anything more than a con
spicuous demagogue. There never was
any reason why he should be chosen as a
leader in French political affairs He has
always been lacking in discretion, in
ability and in honesty. He does not lack
those traits to a greater degree now than
before. The people who have supported
him have not found out anything that
they might not have known before They
are not people to find out anything.
Sensible men always recognized Bou-
LANCER as a humbug and a fraud, but his
Supporters were irrational They are
similar to the Blainiacs in this country.
They are incapable OF entertaining an
idea above Boulangism.

Without entering into the discussion
as to the possible or probable success of
the Brown Sequard experiments-w which,
in the present state of total lack of
knowledge on the subject, would be as
useless as it would be philosophical
it may be worth while to recall that Just
about 200 years ago a strilkingly similar
medical fad" aroused the most intense
interest throughout the civilized world,
and revived those dreams of eternal life
which appear to have amused
philosophers from the earliest his
torical times These were the
experiments on the TRANSMISSION
Of blood from one person to another and
from the lower animals to man. Then,
as now, the idea was not wholly new. but
was put to practical test first in Paris
then, as now, great centre of medical
learning Then, as now, the first reports
were marvellous; the old grew young
again, the mad recovered their reason,
sickness of every sort was benefited by
the treatment. Then, as now, the re
ports grew more and more extravagant
as the craze spread, and then, as now,
conservative voices were raised in remon-
STRANGE against the recklessness with
which the operation was practiced. I'm

a vast Amount of Nonsense.

Philadelphia INQUIRER
As usual, vast amount Of nonsense is
being said and written about the new
process and most extravagant demands
are made upon it. A local contemporary
yesterday, noting DR.. Browns -Sequard' s
statement that after discontinuing the
use of the elixir for month he returned
to his former weakened state, asked
"What does an elixir of life amount to
that is no more lasting in its effects than
thatY Very little, perhaps as an elixir
of life, that being the title usually ap-
piled to medicaments supposed to render
men immortal, but as an aid to nature
when her powers are enfeebled by disease
or old age and as an assistant in tiding
over the crisis of disease it may amount
to very great deal

To layman, an outsider, or to
mere non professional looker.on in
Vienna, the comment of DR.. ]. Ewing
Mears. demonstrator of surgery in
Jefferson College, at Philadelphia, seems
to be nearest the truth: my opinion in
a few words is that Dr. Brown -Sequard
is in his second childhood, and that Dr.
Hammond, as he is known in his profes
sion, is a fraud. 1t is as impossible for
this theory to be successful as it is to
rejuvenate an old decayed trunk of tree
by ENGRAVING it with young tree. The
theory is not worthy of scientific investi
CATION. 1t is simply absurd. Dr. Ham
mond knows it as well as | do. He is
doing it for the money there is in it..
The medical profession are averse to such
fakes.

The theory of Brown Sequard is that
decay sets in because of the languid cell
life of the body. The cells have gone on
from infancy producing new cells, and
passing away until the power OF constant
reproduction is impaired and with it is
impaired the vitality Of the body Now,
by introducing a new breed of living cells
from young and vigorous animal. the
cell life is Immediately quickened aud re

A New style Of keIurenntlon.

Buffalo Express.
When physicians like Brown. Seeuard
and William A. Hammond set up an
opposition life-p -prolonging establishment
which involves much less mental wear
and tear for the patient, the public will
be likely to choose the new style of re-
juvenation. Novelty is attractive, and
death will be fought with pulp injections

In single instance the report states

in such case the experiment succeeded,
the result might fairly be credited to

Of the purpose of the operator, the re
