D., then the graduating class on the subject of man’s rela- Uons to nature, physiologically and pathologi- cally. He said'the laws of nature are most per- fectly adapted to man’s wants, and by the use Of his intellect and faculties man can make use of all the elements of the earth to improve his condition and promote his happiness. The intellect of man adapts all phases of nature to the more perfect development of the human race. Nothing can compare in beauty and Perfect harmony to natures it original, aud to follow organic nature, through the ald of selence, develops the hidden jewels of earth. He pictured some of these beautiful jewels of the various elements, and said that with all the materials with which he had been surrounded man fs always violating nature's laws. If he hed steadfastiy obeyed nature’s laws and lived ; Jn harmony with his environment, he would mV r have known r an ache, and at the end would have melted calmly and peacefully into immortality. But man bas never lived in harmony with Jrahrsibae te more especially in modern civilization, which simply consists of refined methods of violating nature's laws, Disease follows man in every step of life, hence the physician is the agent that steps in between man and his de- stroyers, and hence it is that the honest physician is honored throughout the civilized world. Among all the innumerable diseases God had prepared a remedy for each, which it ig the province and bie, of the physician and chemist to discover. Medical progress and medical education are developing specific rem- edies, and he gave the graduating class a hint not to be daunted in their progress of investi- gation into the mineral and Ue gm world for remedial agents for the cure of diseases by the drones of old beaten tracks, but discover for themselves. Success depends ‘not upon luck, ‘but upon labor. The valedictory was by Philo H. Bennett, M. D., one of the graduates. The audience was dismissed With a benediction by Rey. Dr, Eltott, .

To-day’s New York Times states that “In Noversber last the Tires appealed for a na- tional subscription to provide a perpetual fund Whose annual Income should be enjoyed during life, and while not holding any federal office, by the oldest ex-President of the United States, | tor the’ ultimate destination of the The desired amount of the fund was stated at $250,000, and its probable yearly income at $12,000. While it was believed that the entire amount could be raised from the contributions of afew rich men, it avas deemed eminently roper that the subscription should be a popu- lar One, tn which the quarter dollar of the lab- orer should figure as conspicuously as the $10,000 Of the millionaire. It was soon found, however, that the time and organization re- quired to collect a great popular subscription were formidable obstac es to its satisfactory completion, and that the business detatls of the scheme might be seriously complicated by sub- mitting them to the control of an unwieldy body of subscribers, The task of raising the fund was therefore undertaken in person by Mr. George Jones, and invitations to subscribe were addressed chietly. to those Iikely to give sums of considerable amouat. Assisted by Mr. Oliver Hoyt and cordially seconded in his jJabors by various patriotic New York mer- chants and financiers Mr. Jones was enabled to gccure the enlire amount required, and this pis but few contributions outside of this city.” A circular, which has been addressed to each individual subscriber to the tund, announces “chat of the entire amount of $250,000 which had been subscribed $216,000 had been paid in. The outstanding subscriptions are matnly those of a few subscribers for large amounts who are at present out of the couair,. The amount already received has been invested by a committee of subscribers, ponme iy of Messrs. E. D, Mor- gen, Oliver Hoyt and George Jones. aud will yleid an annual Income of $13,160. Should the remainder be invested to equal advantage, the furd wil) yleld over $15,000a year. The great majority of the subsertbers deem it inadvisable to make public the names of those who have contributed to the fund, and about $50,000 has been subscribed on the distinct understanding that the names of the donors shall be kept Seerct. I may say, however, that an analysts of the list in my possession shows the following aistribullon of amounts:—2 subscribers of N00; 3 Of $10,000; 19 OF $5,000; 3 Of $2,500; 2 Of 00; 45 Of $1,000; 1 Of $750; 21 Of $500; 27 of of $200; 13 of $100; 1 Of $50, and yarioug rivers for small amounts, $150. Total, $250,000, When It becomes necessary to provide nd a mecitng of the subscribers wil be called.” The 7imes says: “At an early st of his labors Mr. Jones found that it would be neces- sary to abandon the idea of devoting the Income of the fund, without reserve, to the benelit of the oldest living ex-Presideht. The unanimous sentiment of those appealed to was that the fund should be regarded merely as an Imperfect substitute for the want of a national provision for Gen. Grant, and that the final destination of the principal should be a matter entirely within the discretion of subserivers for the major portion of theamount. No other argument save one drawn from the pre-eminent. services of Gen, Grant to the American people would have availed to raise the fund to the desired timit, © * * One striking feature of tie subscription list which Mr. Jones has anal- yzed 1s the desire of those who compose It to remain, so far as the public 1s concerned, strictly anonymous. In fact, about $50,000 have been subscribed, in various amounts, with the distinct understanding that the names of the donors shall remain a secret with the treasurer of the fund. While professed republicans con- ®titute the great majority of the subscrivers, the list contains the names of men not identi- fed with either party, a3 well as of some prom~ inent democrats. One of the latter class ap- pears as a subscriber for $10, (0 Go dhe Tunnel from France to Eng- land. Such has been the progress of engin gelence that thorough ventilation, elther during construction or for the permanent submarine rallway, has not been considered by elther Eng- lish_ or French engineers as presenting any in- superable difliculty. Mr. Hawes, the original projector, is even sanguine as to the ultimate Success Of this Channel tunnel as a financial operation. It is first of all proposed to make shafts end carry preliminary drifuways on a Small scale, to such a distance under the sea as would decide the practicability of the enter- prise on a larger scale. These preliminary works he estimates at £160,000, and he observes that the estimate for the tunnel itself is ten millions. On this point we cannot do better (ban quote the words of the projector of the Pian himself, given io Mr. Hawes’ pamphlet: “With regard to this project, 1t might be weli to state that the cost, which ‘had been put at ten millions, tor the ‘construction of the rail- way beneath the channel, though tt appeared a large sum, really embraced about ten miles of railway on each side. In order to get to the tunnel, the railway would have to be com- menced In the town of Dover, where a very large station would have to be made, and run Irom point to point along the coast till it turned down near the South Foreland. Waen it emerged on the other side on the French coast, several miles of railway would also have to be mede, to join it with the Northera of France line, sO aS to beable to get to Paris and Bel- tum. In fact, the capital of ten militons woula e for about thirty-one milesot railway in all. That would make the ratiway cost £300,000 per nifle, about one-third the cost of the Metropolt- tan Ratlway, and about one-sixth the cost of the railway from Cbsring Cross to Cannon street and London Bridga, which he had himseif constructed, $0 that 1t Was not so formidable as Mt at Hirst sight appeared.”—Go0d Words, A lunch basket system {s being tried on the Bos'cn and Albany railroad.
