The grand jury of the Baltimore Citv
Court the other day discussed "the ex-
pediency and humanity of putting to
death in painless manner insane pa
tieuts who 1T is known will not recover"
The discussion was probably Of the abb

for the hopelessly insane if they were
painlessly removed, and not with a view

OF Baltimore. The suggestion of killing
on crazy people is horrible. No state or

Surgeon General Sternberg says that the
medical department of the army is in no
way responsible for the condition in which
the transport Seneca arrived at New York
from Cuba. the other day. as told in our
dispatches. IL viii be remembered that
she had on board ninety-six sick and
wounded soldiers and forty-eight passen-
gers. It is stated that there were no med
zeal supplies, doctors or nurses on board.
The ice gave out and the water was unfit
for use during a greater part of the voy-
age. In the hold the ship was filthy, and
the sick ana wounded were put into board
hunks resembling cattle pens. The suf-
fering on the vessel was severe. Who is
responsible for the blunder which sent the
ship to sea laden with human beings, in
such a pitiable condition? It seems that
there ought not to be a great deal of diff
Guilty in tracing the responsibility; and
there should be no hesitation in punish
ing the recreant parties.

York Ledger. II is true that the great
bulk of the people had recourse to relig-
ious charms and ceremonies when they
We're I'll, and ascribed their sickness to
possession by demons instead of to natural
causes. But there was a continually in
creasing number of the educated who
looked for aid in their maladies rather to
the physician with the medicines than to
the sorcerer of priest with his charms.
The British Museum contains fragments
of an edition made for the library of Min
even of an old and removed Babylonian
treatise on medicine. In this work an at
tempt is made to classify and describe
diseases, and to enumerate the various
remedies that had been proposed for
them. Some of the prescriptions are of in
ordinate length, containing a mixture of
the most heterogeneous drugs. At other
times the patient was given his choice of
the remedies he might adopt. Thus, for
an attack of spleen he was told that he
might "slice the seed of a reed and dates
In palm wine" or mix calves milk and
bitters in palm wine" or drink garlic
and btters in palm wine" or finally try
several other recipes which are severally
named. For an aching tooth" we are
told, the root of the plant of human des-
tiny (perhaps the mandrake) Is the medi-
cine; it must be plased upon the tooth.
The fruit of the yellow snakewort is the
medicine for an aching TOOTH il must be
placed upon the tooth. The roots
of a thorn which does not see the face of
the sun when growing is the medicine for
an aching tooth; it must be placed upon
the tooth" In the midst of all these pre-
scriptions, however room was still found
for some Of the supersutious charms and
incantations which might be tried when
everything else had failed. The practice
of medicine had advanced to a much
higher point in Egypt, but It is probable
that it was from Babylonia rather than
from Egypt that the Jews acquired their
knowledge of il.

DEsERTER SHOT BY A SQUAD.

Take the ne=e-ter Back ia Camp
Northen, and Dickinson and Two
others Resist-Appeared With
Winchesters. and Private Marsh
Fired on Dickinson in Order to
save the COrpOraI's Life.
Griffin, Ga Oct. 13.-H. H. Dickinson,
a deserter from Company B, Third Geor-
gia Regiment, was shot at an early nour
this morning and will probably die from
the effect of the wound. The shooting
was done at Dickinson home, near Luelia,
while he was resisting arrest, by a squad
sent to bring him back to Camp Northen.

nished by Corpl. r. W. Gossett, who was

posed of Corpl Gossett, Privates Jenkins
Marsh and Dallas. left this city for the
purpose of arresting Dickinson, who was
known to be at his fathers home near
Luella.
1t was O'Clock before the Dickinson
place was reached and Corpl. Gossett
placed his men around the house and
awaited the coming of day when 1t was
expected Dickinson would come out.
When the inmates of the house awoke
they must have detected the presence Of
the determined guards surrounding the
place for the door opened and Dickinson
and two other deserters, Moore and kit
chen stepped out heavily armed with
Winchester rifles and pistols.
Corpl. Gossett recognized the men end
called on them to surrender which COM
mand. they dieregarded. Some tried to
make their escape, but Dickinson raised
his Winchester to fire upon Gossett as
soon as he could get shot. A brother
of Dickinson's came out of the house and
happened to get between Dickinson and
GossAtt and Gossett was unable to use
his Springfield without shooting an in
nocent man.
Private Marsh saw the danger threaten
ing his officer and fired on Dickinson VINO
fell mortally wounded. In the confusion
that followed the other deserters fled TO the
woods and made their escape.
The corporal of the squad went to the
fallen man and found him MORALLY wound
ed The bullet entered DiclIinson's neck
Just at the base of the skull and came
out Of his jaw, tearing one side Of his
face almost entirely away.
Al last accounts Dickinson was alive.
but his chances for recovery are very
slim.
