Close by my side,

All ghostly still;

\ CLEVER MOVE.

Mr.. Balfour very cleverly outwttc1
the opposition upon the proposed vote
of censure in the House of Commons.
In replying to Sir William Vernon
Harcourt's motion he said that there
was no word in the motion condemn
ing expressly anything the Govern
ment had done or had announced its
intention of doing. He went on to say
that he was forced to the opinion that
Sir Williams object was not to raise
a direct issue and that it would not be
to the interest of public business to
set aside a day for debate upon the
question.
This, undoubtedly, is clever parlia-
mentary fencing, and called forth loud
cheers from Mr.. Balfour's side of the
House. 1t will only put off the evil
day. however. From all that can be
gathered from the tone of the Press
the British public is strongly opposed
to the course pursued by the present
Administration. When a war is pop
ular or is considered for the benefit Of
the national honor, it is the custom nf
the opposition to join with the Gov
eminent in voting the means to carry
on the war and to strengthen its hands
as much as possible, but this will not
be the case in the present contingency.
The real solution of the Eastern
question will probably be in sight at
the commencement of next month. I'm
til Russia can begin to move easily
nothing could be done, save a vast
amount of political intrigue, but the
time for action will only come with
the breaking up of the ice. Then the
giant will be unclaimed and the Euro
pean Powers will learn what has been
the upshot of the intrigues and how
they are going to be backed up.

has no purpose in the world we affirm that
one of the most obvious of ali the facts
connected with pain in its definite and in
calcuable value, as an indicator, corrector,
educational force, alike in physical, men
tai and moral spheres"
This being so, an objector may say why
interfere with pain at all? This stand
was actually taken by many who held, at
the time OF the introduction of anaesthe-
tics that to use them was to fly in the
face of the Almighty. But the Hospital
points out that such a course would be
quite illogical It says:
THAT which is ESSENTIAL for one period of
human development may not be essential
for another The sharp physical stimuli,
the clubs and spears of the early savage,
are not needed by the later races of men.
in earlier times hunger, thirst, fear of
wounds from enemies, the most elemen-
tary of all sensations, were needed to
compel even the highest races of men to
do the best that was in them. In our
times there are millions who work in
obedience TO motives altogether different
from the driving forces of hunger, cold,
and physical fear. Ambition compels ex-
ertion, duty, mere love of work. And so
the element of painfulness, being less and
less needed plays a less and less conspic-
uous part as a driving and correcting
force in the world viii pain, or the pos
sibility of pain, ever be eliminated from
the experience of man, or killed. as DR..
Weir Mitchell might prefer to put it?
Most probably not, so long as man is en-
dowed with his present nervous system.
But it is possible. nay, it is quite easy, to
imagine a time when mankind in general
shall have reached such a stage of men,
tai capacity and culture, such a wide and
masterful victory over nature, such a de-
gree of physical vigor and material pros
perity, that pain shall be a very excep-
tional fact in his experience. This is the
goal at which a philosophical medical
science must at any rate aim with all the
energy of which it is capable"

Miles Point, La.-This place was the
picture Of animation on Wednesday even
ing in happy anticipation OF the wedding
of Eta Whtmore and Jack Harvey, two
of the best known and most popular young
people In this town. Another fact which
added interest to the affair was that the
benedict was the much-loved pastor Of
the Baptist persuasion. In view of this
b. was only natural that the whole place
and surrounding country wanted TO and

The hour set for the marriage was Q

guests fearing to be late began to arrive
carly In the afternoon. OF course the
whole country was invited, so for a time
there seemed TO be no end TO the long
stream of people coming through the big
gale towards the brides home, which was
then the prettiest and brightest spot any
where to be seen, inasmuch as fully two
thousand Japanese lanterns and torch
lights Illuminated the whole house and
path to The church.

in his address on THE Birth and Death
of Pain" at the recent Boston celebration
Of the semi-centennial of anaesthesia,

which earth can give no answer" is called
in question by the editor Of the Hospital
in a leading article Dec. 81. For the ed
itor the use of pain, far from being a rid

Pain is to the ordinary man a warning of
danger. Says the editorial TO which we
refer:
Here is a man with a painful, broken
arm Does the pain serve any special
purpose, any purpose which might not as
well have been served without il? Most
assuredly It does. But for the pain the
average man-not, perhaps, the scientific
man, but the average man-would not pay
heed to his injury; would not, in fact de-
vote the necessary time and trouble to
its perfect repair. We have to consider

no education, who has made up the gen.
erations of men from the earliest times
when mankind emerged from the practi-
cally brute condition into dawning moral
consciousness. That Is the average man
to be considered when we ask what may
be the purpose Of pain. Has pain had a
purpose of any kind for all those count
less generations Of the uncultured past
who have constituted the solid mass of
mankind? Most assuredly It has had a

The Townes case will be argued
in the Supreme Court of this State
on Friday of this week. The Au-
gusta Chronicle says of this case !:
This is one of the most important
cases the city has ever had IS it in
wolves the title to the land upon which
the dam is lodged in South Carolina,
at the Locks.
The case has been tried twice before
the Edgefeld court and once before
the supreme court. The city gained
the case before the latter court and
also non-suited the plaintiffs on the
second trial at Edgefeld, and it is now
again in Columbia. If the city gains
this appeal it will finally settle the
title to the property. If, however, it
does not it will require another trial
at Edgefeld. Sheppard Bros, end the
city attorney will ergue the case be-
fore the supreme court.
