The Case Of Or. Bell.

Many Augusta people will have great in
the ranks of the new school medical profess
sion upon the case of DIR. James Bachelor
Bell. formerly well known in this city
where he first began the practice of his
profession and where, after few years of
successful service he took rank as one of
the leading homeopathic physicians in the
State. During the last years of his resi-
dence in this city DR.. Bell formed part
uership with Dir. Thomas NJ. Dillingham;.
son OF the late Rev. W. A. T. Dillingham;,
both gentlemen being eminently successful.
Removing to Boston twelve or fourteen
wears ago DIR Bell soon became partner of
the eminent Wessrlhoeft, the great Boston
homeopath who is without doubt the leader
of this school of medicine in New England.
To show that DIR. Bell has been eminent in
his profession since his removal to Boston.
il is only necessary tn say that he has
studied abroad for many years, and is at
present president of the International
Hohnemanuian Association. The offense
which he has committed, AMI for which the
Homeopathic physicians are about to
expel him from their order. is his
ayowl of belief in faith cure about
which he has recently published a
small treatise. The book is not sensational
nor is il designed TO be other than Chris
tan physicians reasonable discussion of
doctrine now attracting much attention.
Still il is said TO contain statements which
do not commend themselves TO reasonable
people while at the same time ii by no means
dissuades parents with sick children
from at once summoning a trained and
skilled physician. In fact the position
which he takes in support of the faith cure
is very moderate, bat is sufficiently pro-
nounced to eujanger his standing in the
great school of medical profession TO which
he belongs. DIR. Bell is gentleman of
high scientific attainments and of great
wealth. He 10 native Of Skowhegan,

Columbus Personal Appearance.

Columbus was of powerful frame and
large build Of majestic bearing and digni-
fed in gesture; on the whole well formed
of middle height, inclining to tallness; his
arms sinewy and bronzed like wave-beaten
oars his nerves high-strnng and sensitive,
quickly responsive to all emotions his neck
large and his shoulders broad; his face
rather long and his nose aquiline; his com
plexion fair. even nclining to redness. and
somewhat disfigured by frrckles; his gaze
piercing and his eyes clear; his brow high
and calm, furrowed with the deep workings
of thought In the life written by his son
Ferdinand, we are told that Columbus not
only sketched most marvelously, but was so
skilfui IA penman that he was able to earn
living by engrossing and copying. In his
private notes he said that every good map
craftsman ought to be good painter as well.
and he himself was such in his maps and
globes and charts, over which are scattered
all sorts of cleyerly drawn figures. lie never
penned a letter or began chapter without
setting at its head this devout invocation
Jesus cgm I0rir sh a0bis in rii.'
Besides his practical studies he devoted
himself to astronomical and geometrical re-
searches. Thus he was enabled to teach
vanced know ledge of his time, he was CON
versant, and he could rectc the PRAYERS
and services of the church like any priest
before the altar He was. lis | have already
said, mystic and merchant, a visionary
and an algebraist. If at times he yeiled
his know ledge in cabali,tic formulas, and
allowed his vast powers to degenerate in
puerile irritation, it was because his own
age knew him not. and had dealt hardly
with him for many years--fr0m his
youth until he reached the threshold of age
without taking into account the reverses
which darkened and embittered his later
years. Who could have predicted to him,
in the midst of the blindness that surrounded
him, that there in Spain, and in that ccntu-
~ of untaaling achievement, the name of
Columbus was to attain to fame and I'M
speakable renown: There are those who
hold that this was the work of chance, and
that the discovery of America was virtually
accomplished when the Portuguese doubled
the Cape of Good Hope. But believe not
in these posthumous alterations of history
through mere caprice, nor in those after
rumors of the discoveries who died in obscur-
ity.-EMILIo CASTELAR,, in the Century for
June.
