meat see to it that visitors are made
comfortable by having their piebian as
well as their patrioian wants cared for.
Feasting, hearing fine music, inspecting
artistlcally arranged specimens of sgri-
culture, horticulture, mineralogy, etc.,
are not the only things that interest Wis
itors. When their patrician organs
shall have been satiated with tn ,se
things, their plebian organs will become
clamorous in their demands. Let the
management see to IT that these
demands are satisfied, and that in
doing this, modesty and decenoy
and comfort are not at all outraged.
A man is as much gentleman, entitled
to as much respect and consideration, in
closet as in a perlor. His gentility and
refinement does not desert him the mo-
ment he leaves the parlor and enters the
closet; then why degrade and insult him
by forcing him to occupy lOathsome and
repulsive make-shifts for closetss
A dozen or SO of Heaps or Meals
commodes, and some one to attend to
the same and be responsible for their
being kept IN good condition, will cover
the case; or, should this be considered
too expensive, a sufficient number of
Closets constructed with an eye 10
privacy, comfortably furnished, and
with an abundant supply of
dry earth or dry ashes (the cheap

one to look after and be responsible for
the keep viii suffice. Closets will no
more keep themselves than will kitchen
or dining-room. Perfect cleanliness is
easily sttainable at q small cost and but
little trouble. Shall we have it? The
management may, and doubtless will,
conclude that this is very small matter,
an exceedingly small matter, not worth
a moments thought. Let them remem-
Der that it is small things-gnats, feas,
flies, mosquitoes-that worry and tor
ment us most; and that it is the insignifi-
cant moth and despicable little mouse
that destroy the costly garments. AS the
Spartans we're in the habit of holding up
before their youths the drunken helot as
an example not to be followed, so would
1 suggest to the management of the
Spring Palace that they find out how our
neighbor at the three forks managed
the sanitary department of their fair and
exposition last year, and then organize a
system just the reverse.

night that New Workers we're too hospit-

dine out every night for week during
this visit here. Then he went on to talk
of the South and its needs.
tWhat we want he said, els i'm
migration. We want good people who
are willing TO work. The South presents
to-day to the industrious man and
woman the grandest opportunities and
greatest possibilities of any portion of
this country. Our people want less poll
tics and more work. There are great
fortunes TO be had if men will only go to
work in n patient and persevering way.
Ny advice is to all young men, go South.
The West is becoming crowded. The
South offers fine fields and green pas
lures, and there is fame and fortune to
those who want TO work.

A Great Medical Congress.

Not the least important of the many
conventions and congresses that are to
be held in Europe this summer is the
meeting of famous medical men from all
parts of the world, in Berlin, in August,
TO discuss topics of the utmost import
ance to the human family. 1t is to be
memorable affair. Kaiser Wilhelm has
entered into the project very heartily and
the European physicians promise to give
the men from this side OF the Atlantic a
warm welcome. The most famous ply
sioians of the world are to be present.
The great Yirchow is president of the
German body, and he is preparing Sc
rles of papers and questions upon medical
subjects that will attract the widest at
tentlon. American physicians and man
ufacturers of surgical instruments are
looking forward TO the meeting as likely
70 show the great stride that America
has made in medical science. Il is
pla1ped that the emperor shall attend
cue meeting Of the conference, and also
give great reception in honor OF tue
distinguished gentlemen.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Mrs. James
G.. Blaine, Jr., has about. aban-
doned hope. Instead Of eating bet
ter she is, If anything, a tribe worse.
Medical science does not seem. to be able
to alleviate, yet alone cure. her intiam-
matory rheumatism. 1t is not likely
that she will ever go on the stage. She
has not been out OF her sick room in
months. Most of the time she is in bed
with her unfortunate leg in a plaster
cast. She is a patient sufferer, and
never complains, although the cup OF
sorrow was pressed to ner lips very early
in life. Her baby boy is progressing
finely, and is bright, healt hful looking
little sprite-the only sunbeam that
brightens its mother's room. Some of
her friends are still loyal, but they are
few. No word has come from her reore-
ant husband or his family, although
there have been times when poverty
crossed the Threshold of the sick room,
and the poor creatures would have
suffered for the necessaries of life but for
the interposition Of friends. OF the ones
who have proved faithful none is more
deserving of credit than the English
maid~of- all work, who has served Mrs.
Blaine without pay, and at times has
drawn upon her savings of years to keep
the wolf from the door.
