TAKING NO STOCK IN 1T.

Apropos of this dispatch from Boston says:
Both Clarkson and Radbourn are in Boston,
and acknowledge that they are not satisfied
with the manner and nature of both the sup
port offered the brotherhood and plans of or
ganization. and both have declined to take
any of the new concerns stock. despite the
urgent requests by mail and telegraph during
the past few days by prominent members of
the brotherhood and their financial hackers.
These two players are very reticent regarding
their stand. but their friends say that their
determination to know more of the proposed
scheme than rosy-hued theories of contem-
plated victories will be followed by
numerous other players than themselves.
They want certainty and are not
willing to enter combination which
may likely end in a scramble for old
positions and loss of the bes. part of a seasons
earnings. The opinion among large number of
experts here is that the brotherhood has a
fatal weakness in its enterprise. being n mutual
or cooperative undertaking, thus always per-
uniting the question of jealousy of the play
ers to constantly menace the organization with
disintegration, as both the association and
league, ignoring their contracts. will be ever
holding tempting bait to dissatisfied members
to return to the fold. Thebrotherhood seems to
be losing stock"

pISA0REEAeLe HABITS.

soms OF the More Flagraat O6ensea

Persons who mix in refined society
have no right to indulge in habits
which are disagreeable or disgusting
to those with whom they associate.
One sometimes sees men who look like
gentlemen chewing quill toothpicks at
a table. or worse still. making little
pellets of their bread by rolling pieces
OF it between their finger and thum.
One of these edible-ammunition manu-
facturers may be found at almost every
table Thote, and it is any thing but
pleasant for . guest with susceptible
stomach to sit opposite one Of them.
There are other bipeds in broadcloth
whose vocation it seems to be to expec-
torate. An acquaintance Of ours who

Prevention of Disease.

The science and practice Of medicine

ton of such magnitude and importance
that it's limits can hardly be conceived.
Looking into the future. in the light OF
recent discoveries, it may not seem inn
possible that time may come when
the cause of every infectious disease
will be known; when all such diseases
will be preventable or easily curable;
when protection can be afforded
against all diseases. such rs scar

ing cough. ETC., in which one at
tack secures immunity from subsequent
contagion; when. in short, no constitu-
tiOnal disease will be incurable. and
such scourges as epidemics will be un-
known. These, indeed. may be but .
part Of what will follow discoveries in
bacteriology. The higher the plane
of actual knowledge the more extended
