TRANQUILITY WITH ONE o."
The New Silver Certificates Follow
the Spelling of the Constitution.

The New silver Certthc0tes FOLLOW
the Spelling of the Constitution.
From the New York Times.
"Ratsl" said Bngraver Smillie OF the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the
Treasury Department, the other day, when
a friend, meeting him in tie street here.
twitted him about the word tranquility
on the new one-dollar silver certificate.
'The word" continued Mr.. Smillie, who
engraved the note, was spelled tranquil
ity' in the original constitution of the
United States. This became too tender and
too precious to take any risks with. Then
an authenticated copy of the constitution
was produced by order of congress, and all
precautions were taken to have It exact.
''Now, at the bureau of engraving and
printing we must follow copy and can
not demonstrate superior knowledge in the
face of absolute authority. Hence, tran
guilty is on the new note. There IL plen-
ty Of authority for spelling that word
economically in respect to Is"
Mr.. Smillie's defense and contention are
amply sustained in Ben: Farley POores
Federal and State Constitutions, Colo
NAL Charters, and Other Organic Laws
of the United States" printed at the gov
eminent printing office, at Washington.
The compiler was then clerk of printing
records. A second edition was printed in
1873 under a resolution of congress, order
ing 5000 copies.
Mai. Poore, in letter to Senator Henry
B. Anthony, chairman of the Senate com
mttee on public printing, dated Jan. l,
1877, speaks of the compilation as IAN ac-
curate and complete edition of the Or
ganic Laws of the Union and of the
States, " and of grave mistakes in copy
ing" in other works, and says that if any
errors or omissions are detected in the
first edition they can be corrected for
any further issue.
So, turning to the constitution of the
United States in the second edition of
Mai. Poore's compilation, the following
emphatic authorization for spelling tran
guilty with one j is found:
1--WE, the people of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran
guilty"
AS the quotation from the constitution
on the new one-dollar certificate is true
to the text of the original constitution,
it will, no doubt, be accepted as quota
ton.
The peddIing of the tranquility notes
continued yesterday, and the premium
asked varied from 10 to 25 cents The
higher sum was asked by those who stat
ed that the printing of the notes was
stopped.

LAW AND MEDICINE cOMPARED.

From the London STANDARD.
Mr.. Justice Vaughan Williams. IN pre-
senting the scholarships. medals. prizes
and certificates awarded during the last
two sessions to the students at the Char
ing Cross Hospital Medical School. told
the students that he felt himself to be IN
a place where he was not familiar with
the subject upon which he was expected
20 speak. He came before them I'm the
character OF a lawyer but. although that
might be a disqualification. he could not
help thinking that there was considerable
affinity between law and medicine. Both
professions called into play the same quail
tiles. both required exercise of the great
est discretion and both were the recipients
OF such confidence as he supposed none
Would like TO intrust to anyone except to
the doctor or the lawyer. The law had a
great deal to do with medicine. for In al
most four out OF every ten cases the as
sisfance OF medical experts was required.
and the testimony OF such witnesses ma
terially assisted courts OF law and safe
guarded the administration OF justice
He felt a little envious OF the medical
profession. because In the study OF medi-
cal science the field Of discovery was prac-
gressive science. Could they say that with

that point was that they tried 10 apply

profession, but, n they could call back
one OF the judges OF the eighteenth CEN
fury and took him to the law courts he
would be able to try the cases as we'll az
any OF the Judges now on the bench, and
probably better. Unfortunately. In that
respect there was a great distinction be-
tween the two professions.
While the medical profession was able to
greatly assist IN the administration OF
Justice, he cautioned the students not to
embark on careers as medical experts At
ter long experience he had been forced
TO come TO the conclusion that the medical
man who went frequently as a witness
INTO the law courts, degenerated into an
advocate, and as a result found that hfa
evidence did not receive quite the same at

Rained Toads in new Jersey.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.

Jersey, N. j., July 9O.-During the storm
to-day it rained toads, say the natives of
Greenville, a suburb. Where they came
from no one could tell. Ali were tiny
things, no bigger than a peanut, but they
proved to be as lively as crickets.
The shores Of the bay touch Greenville
and the rough, half-grown meadows
roundabout Frogs and toads have been
a rarity there until to-day. Before the
rain fell, not living things was on the
hot, steaming meadows. After the down
pour they were alive for acres with the lit
tie toads, hopping everywhere.
The natives declared that a gust of
whirling wind must have picked up the
toads from some Jersey sand bank and let
them fall in Greenville.
