Mr.. Cowen ON Maryland Democracy.
The members of the Jefferson
Democratic Association were ad.
dressed on Thursday night by Mr..
John X. Cowen on the future &C
ton OF the Democratic Reformers.
With his usual ability Mr.. Cowen
spoke of tho short comings Of what
be styled the s'the official democra-
cy," aud cast the blame of our oys-
ter failure upon the democra ic
members of several past legislatures
who preferred votes to the protec.
ton of oysters. Several other topics
were discussed. He closed bis
speech with a threat, ssif we do not
get what we ask for the music will
again be heard all along the line
and it will not be even so sweet and
harmonious as heretofore"
Mr.. VIM. s. Marbury also spoke
Of the demands Of the independents
He alluded to nominations made
IN the past and said that for the
next Governor eve do not want 3
fool, we do not want 3 man, with
whom it is impossible to converse,
neither do We want q man who had
gone stark crazy over q mythical an
cestry. This was harsh language
against. the present Executive aud
x-MaJot Hodges who aspires to be
Gov. Jackson's successor.
Hon. s. Tackle Wallis sent let

MAN WEATHER sLAvE.-There are
great many people who say that the wealth
or does not affect them at all, but the
weather does affect eyersbod writes DR..
Kellogg. When the barometer goes up our
spirits go up, and when the barometer goes
DOWN our spirits 60 down. When the ba.
rometer is high we get more oxygen and the
vital fires burn brighter, and when the ba-
rometer is low the reverse Is true. 1t Ia no
wonder that person subjsot to rheumatism
or neuralgia feels these changes In the
weather with particular force. When the
barometer rises the skin does more work,
and when the barometer falls the akin does
less work. When the ekin does less work
the kidneys, liver and other excretory or
gans have to do the work. But the changes
10 the weather are exactly what We need as
stimusnts to the system, and the reason
why peop!e who live In tropical @ imates 3
ack In ,igor and Wilt down quickly under
diseases is that they have none of the brsc-
ing effects which comes from changes OF
temperature. These may be called spe-
cies of physicist gymnastics. 1t is exactly
like living sedentary lie In climate 10
which there is no ohange.-St. Louis Globe

a Surgeons Liability.

The New York Court CT Appeals has just
handed down decision on the liability of c
physician and surgeon experimenting With
patient. On December 1st, 1884, Henry
q. Du Bois, just released from the Albany
penitentisry, wss Injured by the cars at
Kingston while under the icA1enoe OF liquor.
rhe bones Of his foot were crushed. Bsiug
Hitbout means, he was taken to the aims.
house 10 Kingston, and William M. Dacker,
one OF the city ply slcians, took charge OF
him.
Alter several days gangrene set in, aud
an amputation was made at the ankle.
Again gapgrene appeared. and second au-
putation was made at the knee. This did
not heal properly, and the surgeon recon.
mended another ampatasion. The doc.or
was proceeding to cover the stump with
skin gratis successfully when Du Bois SUD
denly left the almshouse end reeumed his
1cmsdlo habits of life. After the second
smputstion Du Bois refused for weeks TO
lake any medicine. Du Bois eued Dacker
for malpractice. and recovered 1861 %.
In his own defense, the surgeon said that in the
first Instance he tried conservative tu-gery in the
hope Of saving as much Of the foot IS possible
Finding the Injuries more serious than they had
appeared to be st first, he called in other sur
geons, and it was agreed 10 wait awhile 10 see
now much of the leg it would be necessary to am
putate. The defense aso set up that the man
paid nothing for the attention.
Justice Hsight in writing the opinion, which
sfirmed the verdict for the plaintiff, said
these facts (the refusal OF Dubois to tske
medicine, &C would only tend to mitigate the
damages, and would not relieve the defendan
from the Consequences Of previous neglect and
unskilful treatment. His (the surgeons) services
were not grstuitious. He was employed by the
city. The fact that he was paid by the tity in
stead Of by the plaintiff did not relieve him from
the duty to exercise ordinary care and skill"

death of the infant child OF his belf brother
Lawrence, and the purchase Of the widows

Thia property had been much imfoT or.
ished by locessant cropping wi tobacco.
tae then staple crop of the country, Vbie
the land was rated high. He soon intyc-
duoed different system OF farming cn h;t
ulsn:ations and In making these improve
m snts he was, no doubt, at times "hsrd up."
Moreover, about this time he was absent

,sn,js. So completely did the disease make
wreck Of her former self that life was almost de-
sosired of. Her nervous system was almost en-
tirely destroyed, and the slightest noise would
throw her into a nervous spasm which would last
for hours. Medical skill failed to bring any re-
lief.
Through the recommendation OF an eminent
divine we were induced to try the Elect,opoise.
After persistent use of the instrument the effect
has heen wonderful Her nervous syetem has
bsen restored to its almost normal condition; her
digestion is wonderfully improved; she is rapidly
gaining in aesh AID, upon the whole, is Masking
rapid recovery, which speaks volumes for the
rsnteSul coratiye powers OF The Electropoise, es
her case was considered hopeless. If any are
