 Dr Plumley's sermon on music, Sun day, was from the text, Psalms LVIII, 5 and 6. The first mention of music in Bible history is after the Israelites had crossed the Red sea, a song of deliver ance from the Egyptians. But it is the belief of students of ancient literature that music accompanied the sacriticial offerings in the earliest period. David, the sweet singer of Israel, gave special attention to it. He organized trained choir. The Psalms were always chanted. When the tabernacle was finished, a special praise service was held. Music is a universal passion. There are indi- vidual exceptions, but these, said Shake speare, are fit for treason and strategem. The influence of national songs is re- markabe. The dormant patriotism of many a one has been aroused and awak- ened by their rendering. Music has aid ed much in winning battles, by infusing fresh courage into the heart of the weary soldier. It has many uses: Cheers the sailor on the lonely sea; refreshes the teamster on tOilsOme ride; calms the fearful; relieves the burdened; rests the weary; invigOrates the aged; delights the children and dispels despOndency. It is an amusement of all races, ages and climes; promoter of health, by eXercis- ing the lungs, exhilarating the mind and aiding digestion. Says Florence Night ingale, it is beneficial in the sick room. Lastly, it should constitute prominent part of both family and public worship, not only because it is acceptable unto the Lord, thus to express our gratitude for His goodness, but it has also a reflex tendency, to warm, quicken, strengthen and comfort those who participate. It has also a salutary effect on those whose ears are deaf and minds unimpressble to other devotional exercises. Church mu- sic should be rendered by both choir and congregation.

Lieut. c. A. L. Totten has only been regularly commissioned officer at Yale for about three years, but in this time this energetic and efficient officer has stirred a military spirit in the university, which in conservative old Yale seems all most incredible. It is only in the scien- tific school that regular military course is offered, the work done by the academ- ic men being wholly voluntary and not counting in class room marks. Taking these facts into consideration, the ad- vancement which Lieut. Totten has brought about in his course is truly re- markable. The courses are only open to members of the senior classes, but, out of class of 108 in the scientific school, S6 are taking the course in military drill, while, of the 180 academic seniors, no have enlisted.

The most rare as we'll as the most in- teresting food abnormality, or intemper- ance, from psychological point of view, is that W hich for want of better name l shall call sitoIpania. Some such defi- ntion as the following may be applied to it: "A mania occurring periodically, characterized by loss of volition and an oyerW helming desire to partake of food to an unlimited extent. followed by re- morse, depression and tendency to sui eide" In many respects, this form of disease resembles the now we'll known and defined disease dipsomania. In both, there are intervals, often prolonged, dur ing which an entirely normal state pre- vails; there is an undue desire in the one case for excess of food, in the other case for drink. Then, often suddenly, there ensues a wholly uncomfortable desire in the one case for d food gorge, in the oth CT for drink excess; in both the essence of the disease is the secretiveness with which the orgy is conducted; there also ensueS in both, when the orgy is over, the same feeling of intense depression and remorse and in some cases tenden- cy to suicide.- Dr J. Adam in London Lancet.

| wish to file a responsive echo to
'lr. Arendell's article. in your is-u4
ofshe 10th. Should the Dsmo,ra af;c
convention which meets in Ch;oa
go be wise and nominate that ster.
Ing Democrat, David Bennett Hill
OF New York for thu presidency. a
wave OF patriotic enthusiasm will h.
generated over the leueth and
breadth Of this great country that
will insure his election from the
start. The enthusiasm with which
nomination is at first received
greatly augments the chances of
final success.
The brilliant victory recently
achieved by Mr.. Hill in his own
State against the combined efforts
of malcontents, mu swumps. and
the Republican party in preventing
the Republicans from stealing the
legislature, which at ore time seem.
ed foregone conclusion, stamps
him as the greatest living political
leader OF the age-a second Tilden.
BY this stupendous victory b has
wrested the State of New York
from the control Of the corruut.
profigate and unconstitutional rul.
of the Republican party and placed
the State under Democratic rule for
years to come. The State gov
ernment Of New York by the
Herculean exertions and wise
leadership of Mr, Hill, is now in
the hands Of a party who will obey
the mandates OF the Constitution.
and respect the rights of the people,
which the Republican party year
alter year aiiei TO do.
Mr.. Hills Democracy is of that
'effersonian-Andrew jackson type
which recognizes the will of the
people as the supreme law Of the
land-''that the government is of
the people, by the people and for
the people," and not for monied or
privileged classes. In the light of
such tendencies it seems to this
writer that Mr. Hill is the man
whom the eNigencies of the times
lmperatively demands.
The conservative or middle ground
occupied by Mr.. Hill on the silver
question and tariff reform. is such
that the conflicting element of the
great Democratic party can safely
unite on him.
No beefy conceit nor stoical in
difference to the wishes of the party
would characterize the administra-
tion of President Hill. Bnt, on tie
contrary. prudence, discretion and
a deferential respect for the wishes
OF the party who placed him in the
presidential chair would character
ize his administration.
Let the nominee be Hill and
some Western man and the Democ-
racy will sweep the country with a
hurrah !. j. C.. MAROON.
