Country organizations can run for years
without much system, until conflicting in-
terests arise, when it becomes patent that
there is no power to {preserve order. The"

dition of things that much trouble was ap-
prehended. But wisdom prevailedfla com-
mittee was oppointed to draft constitution

Two eminent Christian Physicians have
within the last two years passed out of our
sight; Dr. W. W. Hall, aged 66 years, and
Dr. Edmund Pcaslec, aged 64.
It seems fitting that in these columns, dc-
voted to the highest welfare of woman, some
notice be taken of those who have long labored
in the medical profession for the alleviation
of her sufferings; who, working beside us in
this metropolis these many years, in Christian
ministry to the suffering,have recently drop-
ped out of this life to enter upon “the future
state of the blessed dead.

Dr. Edmund Peaslec has more recently
been called up higher, but not without giv-
ing another striking example of the same un-
swerving faith in the doctrines of revelation,
and the sure and certain hope of immortality.
For many years a member of the church, he
was known to all within it as one who loved
the ordinances of God’s house.
It was the testimony of his pastor and life-
long friend, Dr. Adams, that he conscien-
tiously arranged his professional engage-
ments that, so far as practicable, he might be
found in his seat on the Lord’s Day and at
the Lord's table. '
‘ What a striking example these days, when
so many in his profession plead that as a
standing excuse for abscntiug themselves
from God’s house.
It was a touching scene at his funeral,
where so many in the medical profession were
gathered to honor his memory, and listen to
a faitth portrayal of such a well-rounded
scientific and Christian life from a Christian
pulpit.
Very truly wasrit remarked on that occa-
sion by Dr. Adams, “What a wonder that all
physicians are not Christians. 1”
Vhat field to do good in, more extended
even than that of the pulpit, for when medi-
cal skill can do no more for man, if the trust-
ed physician can‘ direct the last. thought of
the dying, and point with a firm faith to
Christ, how blessed his oflicel

"FRANOIs MUIzrnYE-Thc great temperance-
revivalist made his first appearance in Bridges
port, last Wednesday evening.- - After pre-
liminary remarks he spoke of the early life
of ‘Mr. Robinson and Mr. Foote, his assist-
ants, describing the manner in which they
had wasted large fortunes, and told how they
had signed the pledge, and how earnestly
they were laboring to redeem others. He
followed these remarks by an an address of
over an hour and a half in which he recount-
ed his own life history, which the' Standard
gives briefly as follows: He was born in
Ireland, and before he came to this country
became a. drunkard in consequence of the
fashion of having liquor on the table in every
day life. He came to America, served in the
great rebellion, and afterwards opened a ho-
tel in Portland, Maine, against the wishes. of
his devoted wife. Money flowed intohis tlll,
but a social despotism ruined him, misfor-
tune of the deepest kind came upon him, he
fell into the lowest depths of disgrace, untll
finall in 1869 he became bankrupt and
frien less. He was then arrested and im
prisoned. A kind friend then persuaded him
to attend religious services, and from that
time he began to have hope, which encourag-
ed him to persevere until 1e stood free from
the binding chains of rum‘slavery.
During the address, the audience th‘J
swayed to laughter or tears at the will of the
the eloquent speaker, who was greeted with
bursts of applause. During the singing he
passed down the aisle, shaking hands With'
everybody and making friends at everyfstep.
Seventy-five signed the pledge, making a
grand total of 6,876. The farewell meeting
was held on Thursday evening.

famous crime in the State prison. The “in-
tolerable cruelty" clause leaves a good deal
to the discretion of the judge, and judging
from the performances of some of them in
the past, it is liable to be loosely interpreted.
The law is, however, a great improvement on
the one it superseded, and it may serve to
redeem the tarnished honor of the State.
._g_ I go, I __
The license law as passed by - the House
provides that licenses for the sale of alcoholic
liquors shall range from $150 to $500, the
minimum being $100. For lager beef and. ‘
light wines the fee is to be $75. The license
money is to be paid into the town treasuries.
It is to be regretted that the law does not
limit the number of'llcenscs to be issued, but
the increase in the amount of the license fee,
together with more stringent provisions re-
garding the value of property to which per-
sons oifering themselves as surcties must
swear, will have the effect of closing many of
the places where liquor is now sold.

General Grant will return to his country
some time in the coming autumn, and it is
proposed in Philadelphia to give him an en-
thusiastic greeting. A committee has been
appointed which‘is quietly arranging tllc de-
tails. He is to be met in the buy by distin-
guished men from all parts of the country,
and all his officers and soldiers who can go to
Philadelphia are to welcome him to the shore
and attend him to his temporary. residence.
The money necessary has already been sub-
scribed by eminent citizens, and although
the ceremonics‘are to be conducted in the
name of the commonwealth. the city will not
be asked for contributions. ‘

anv Usn or SoUnMILK.-—-A new industry
has been started in Mansfield, Mass. It is no
less than the manufacture of jewelry out of
sour Imilk. This seems a strange anomaly,
but it is a fact. The milk comes in the
shape of curd from butter and cheese mak-
ing counties in New York, and looks upon
its arrival, at good deal like popped corn; but
before it leaves the shop it undergoes 9. won-
derful change, and receives the name of
African coral. The secret in making it up is
carefully guarded, but it is certain that it has
to be heated very hot, during which coloring
matter is introduced, followed by a very
heavy pressure. Some of it is colored black
and called jet, while some appears as cellu-
IJ'Id. It makes very handsome jewelry, and
is made into all kinds and styles known in
the trade—Scientific News.
