The best officers and the best men in the National Guard of New York, as well as that portion of the outside public interested in military matters, appre- ciated to the fullest extent the action of the Twenty- wecond regiment in forming a camp of instruction at Long Branch last summer. The idea was bred in the brain of the soldierly Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment, and the members were very willing to iovow tt. Jt was an example to the National Guard which will bear fruit when the next summer's sun shines on the beautiful parade grounds in the vicinity of the metropolis. The con- doct of -the regiment was gallant in the feid and gallant in the ballrooms of Long Branch, and the ladies who happened to be sojourn- Ing at Sietson’s while the regiment was encamped resolved to show thelr approval of the conduct of ‘the Twenty-vecond and to record their appreciation of the military spirit of its members by a substan- liai memorial. Mr. 8. R. Brewster, Attorney General of Peunsylvania, was honored by those ladies with the commission of interpreter of their wishes. Un- cer te direction of this gentleman a committee Was appointed to make the necessary arrangements, which were bronght to a most satisfactory and bril- hia nt termination last evening at the regimenial armory in Fourteenth street. ‘The officers of the Twenty-second having received ap intimation that the testimonial of the Lon; Franch ladies was ready for presentation, named Jani evening forthe ceremony, and at once com- Tnenced, with the energy, skill and address which are cberacteristic of the board of officers of this fine regi- ment, to make the necessary preparations. Tae armory Was tastefully festooned with bright and pleasing colors. Flags and streamers, artistically hung from the galleries and pillars, and a iar platform, for the accommodation of «cpuinguished Visitor first and afterwards for the regimental band, under the leadership of H. B. Dod- worth, occupied the centre of the gene Ohairs aud pencbes were plentifuliy supplied on the ground foor and in the spacious galleries, and everythi that could be done to minister to the comfort o} visitors was accomplished by the excelient committee baving charge of the arrangements. Punctuaily at the appointed hour, eight o'clock, the regiment fied by company into the drijl room of the armory, and formed three sides of # square, the colors in the centre and facing the platiorm. The ceremony of a dress parade was then goue through with in @ man- ner that elicited the hearty applause of the distin- py aud fashionabie audien numbering fally .000 pertons, Who had congr ved in the armory. 4ienera’s W. 5. Hancock, Daniel KE. Sickles, Henry H. Burton and Hall, of the United States Army; Generals Burger, Postley, Shaler, Colonei Dix, Ma- jor Madden, of the National Guard, and a host of omcers of the regular and militia services were present, Every scat was occupied, and the throng was so great m the rear ‘of the linc of sentries, whieh was properly thrown out ui the commencement of the evening, that ingress oF ogress was equally diMcult, Never did well ar- ranged and brilliant light fall on brighter objects of beauty. ‘The baiconies and halis of the armory wore (the most animated aspect; bat the gay and giittes Ing uniforras of the gallant militia were insignificant to the masculine eye ro comparison to the beauty, grace and clegance of the fair admirers of the ‘i wenty-second, who, On the beach at Long Bri Go & bright sunaim voted with extraordinary una- that the boys of the Twenty-second were the ifetlows alive.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE MEW YORK ACADEMY OF MEDICI¥E. An anniversary meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine was heid last evening at the College, corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue. The attendance was moderately large and was mainly composed of members of the medical profes- sion. Punctually at eight Dr. A.C. Post, the Presi- dent of the Academy, took the chair and introduced Dr. Austin Flint, who read a very able paper oa “The Past, Present and Future of Medicine.” ‘Theexploded theories and errora of the past hay- ing besn glanced at full justice was, done to the “medical lights of other days.’ Speaking of at tomy, Dr. Fiint said that although Bichart’s volumin ous treatise was now obsolete it bad given an impulse and a direcnon to modern re- searches, not alone in pure normal anatomy, bat In morbid changes und processes, and had paved the way to the recent deve'opments by the ald of the microscope which have added to general anatomy the extensive and fruitful territory of histology Histological researches have carried observations yond the elementary tissue of Bichart to the “ana tomical elements”? into which these tissues are resolubie, It may seem hardly probabie, after the study of the body for several years with the present Improved means of microscopical observation, that very important anatomical 8 remain to be dis- covered. Butso itis, Tt is by no means improbable that the range of minute ‘obvervation may be ex- tended by means which cannot now be foreseen. Who could have guessed a few years since that sub- stances composing the sun and stars would be brought within the compass of direct observa- tion? Yet by means of the spectrum analysis this wonderful result has been accomplished. Physiology, taking advantage of the microscope and ofnew developments in chemical ectence, inter- rogating nature by means of experimental observa- tions on inferior animals and deriving information from the study of lisease, opens to the imagination aa jilimitable space for future progress. ‘ith alt that bas been acquired within ‘the last half century how limited is the extent of our Knowledge. The forces which are involved in the circulation of the blood, independently of the heart’s action, are not Getermined. ‘The processes of assimilation, nutri- tion, secretion and excretion constitute still a terra incognita, Granting the establishment of the hypo- thesis which attributes these choad to the action of cells, the celis are only the age fans. The mechanism remains a mystery. yetne fanel ions of the spleen and the other ductiess glands are still unde- termined. The purposes of tne various Prod composing the erupholon are very imper- fectily known, and the physiological actions, involvea in sensation, volition, reflex movements and mental observation,;are beyond our apprehen- sion. The abolition of conactousness in sleep and the condition for its existence in our waking hours are mysteries which we cannot begin to comprehend. But it is not necessary Fy too to the more exalted parts of the organisto. the ne ecg undertake to explain the functions of a purel, t vital organ—for example, the rythmical action of the heart—and the limits of our knowledge are not less strikingly tilus- trated. What will be the physiology of the future no one can surmise, but it is certain that in this direc- tign we but just commenced ty penetrate the arcana of nature. After # vole of thanks to Dr. Flint the meeting ad- journed, CUNASITIES_ FROM ROM ALASK Now that the ice- clad Teri Territory of Alaska ts irre- ply @ part of the United States and a portion of “the land of the free and the home of the brave,’’ our people, having paid a handsome price m hard cash for it, are beginning to take more interest in that far off land’ than ever before and while it remained under the sway of the Czar of All the Rus sias, “Know thy own country” is but an ampliica- on of the old Greek maxim “know thyse! and hence everything that can add to our information as to the precise character of our new acquisition, its history and ite population should be received with thankfulness and studied with assiduity. The character of a popuiation, especially of a wild, uncivilized people like the American Indians of ali grades and tribes, is best ascertained from its monuments and relics, ve a correct view of the status of any peo: je in the scale of mental and moral elevation; and the statesmen calied to frame laws tor their gov- ernment they furnish a true guide by which to mea- #ure the necessities of i akon’ case, Henge the opportonity afforded by the sojourn in thin clty of Captain Edward G. Fast, tate of the United States Army, was gladly availed of to view his large collection of Indian relics from Alaska. Captain Fast was attached to the stat of General Ronsseau, and accompanied him when the General proceeded to that Territory to receive, on behalf of the United States, its formal surrender by the Rus- sian authorities, He remaiaed there in the samo capacity under the successor command of General Rousseau, and has but lately resigned and re- turned hither. The time he was th ata. tioned at Sitka the Captain employed indus. triously ip collecting @ very Jarge number of ex. coodtngly interesting relics of the aborigines inhabiting the coast fe stricte of Alaski dd some of the Aleutian Islands, and bis coileciion gives one a clear conception of the habits and life of those \- ple. A very large number of the articles are of great Pouiquity, generally carved of walrus teeth, similar to ivory, some of the jaws of the sea-cow and some of slate, and peas all have been taken from buria! mounds and jated graves of Indians dead hundreds of years The New York Historical Soclety has already been, by its officers, inspecting @ portion of this valuable collection, valuable as @ means to trace the history of the ines of this country, and it l# to be boped that either this Mae 4 or some otuer public institution of the city ‘ang Cooper Union, for instance) may acquire it for the of the people at large. A public exhibition, “eu py © tain = spare Lhe time, would certainly be of great jluterest.
