Hill will be the man who will be suc+ cessful in leading the Democratic party to defeat. TILLMAN, the suave and urbane cavalier from South Carolina, is an acknowledged master of phrase. He is a sace’ bombshell of phi- ology that will not remain pent up, inasmuch as he insists upon bursting, at intervals and scattering himself, like the odor of the breeze-burst rose, over 1s much space as possible. His verbal construction is of the subtlest qual- ity, and his epigram is that of one who handles the rapier of wit with the skill and grace of an adept. His sentences, poetically rounded, are like honeyed music dallying on a bed of moon-kissed carnations. In his art he is 1 unique embodiment of strength and grace, being at once the towering oak ind the lissom rose-tree, the howling cyclone and the languid zephyr. All of which makes it se sly unfair and unjust that disgruntled critics should say that the mantle of the late Dennis Kearney, the San Francisco sand-lots orator, rests upon the shouklers of this paragon of polite state: craft, if for no other reason than that, compared with the South Carolinian, the picturesque fire-brand of sand-lot fame was in every sense of the term Chesterfield. i ll HE EX-GOVERNOR of South Carolina with the dynamite mouth will be pretty safe in concluding that it will be a long, long time between White House invitations. ania: A PATIENT having been cured of small-pox by the witching strains of a violin, it seems not at all unlikely that it may ere long be discovered that music has a therapeutic value heretofore undreamed of. Music may in time become a most important branch of medical science, and the doc- tor of the future may, after diagnosing his case, take a violin or a cornet from his bag,as the case may demand, and render the wedding-march from “Lohengrin,” or Schubert's “Serenade,” according to the progress the malady has made. Different tunes rendered on different instruments, in various tempos, may become necessary at critical moments, and this will naturally develop a new science—that of writing musical prescriptions. Musical boxes and orchestrions may yet be used in hospital rds, and the shops in which sheet-music and musical instruments are now dispensed are likely to be the drug-stores of the future. Patent music is a possible suc- cessor of patent medicine, and we may yet take a five-minute dose of “*Lanigan’s Ball’ adagio, or a seven-minute-and-a-half dose of Mendels- sohn’s “Songs Without Words” andante, for our neuritis or necrosis. Medical music and medical science will be one, and the scalpel will be sup- planted by the mandolin, and the clinical thermometer by the piccolo AND now rejoices and glories in w may in a sense be termed the tunnel cure, inasmuch as it has recently been discovered that the gases of the underground railroads of London h; makes them a sure cure for croup and many other maladies which infantile flesh is heir Perhaps science, which is ever busy and on the alert to add another jewel to its crown, will discov t tunnel air is really supe: rior to mountain air asa pulmonary healer. If the consensus of medical opinion should be in favor of tunnel over mountain air for throat and lung affections it may come to pass that some benefactor will build a tunnel san- itarium whose sulphurous gases Will quite eclipse the system of oxygen treatment now in vogue. Railroads might then find it to their pecuniary Jvantage to run under and not over mountains, inasmuch as a flying trip through one of a considerable length has been known to cure cases of whooping-cough. Special trains at special rates would be much cheaper than drugs, and people of superfluous: wealth might subscribe to a sanitary fund to send out s they supply the minted gold during send 3 a steamboat load of city urchins to the seashor Tunnel air may yet be transmitted through pipes to hospitals and private houses, and an analysis of the sir itself may make it possible for the chemist to supply a tablet according to the same, which when burned will fill the room with an air that will at once clear the bronchial tubes and put thé tracheotomy tube on the pension-list. Let us express a fervent wish that the medical value of tunnels and tunnel air may become known, ind understood beyond the tentative stage, and also that our own subwa may become equally famous from the viewpoint of the physician and the soldier of business with a refractory throat.
