Hotwecu young nnd immature peo
ple nturiago is of altogether too fre

mutches between men and women con
siderably past thelt middle age have
increased. Nobody but school children.,
to whom love is a ilreani which Belongs
solely to tho giggling ago, now feels
inclined to laugli at such alliances,
Thoy are often matters of convenience,
founded on motives of respect, com
fort or suitability, which usually result
as happily as tiny notion of grave im

upon by oxporioncediooplo, is likely to
do. hy should not au intelligent,
homo-loving man ami woman, left eoni

nership of mutual help and comfort for
their old ago? Often, however, thoy
aro sincere lovo matches, founded on
that teal passion which grows moro
profound, if less sensitive, with tho
strengthening of other faculties. No

O
New York dispatch: The crowd on Fifth
avenuo remained on the sidewalks 'with re
mnrkablo persistency until tho long pnrndo
had paused. Thcro wcrenlew cases of pros
tration in tho ranks, but so far ns known,
nono fatal. The regimcntnl ambulances
wero called into requisition forslight causes,
perhaps half a dozen times. At tho corner
of Filty-fiovcnth street, where tho lino
turned to tho west, tho crowd swelled lrom
the side to tho open way and blocked the
thoroughfare on twenty occasions. Thcro
was some trouble when tho catafalque
reached that point. Everybody was moro
interested in tho nppronch of this than in
any other procession. It wns watched for
blocks away, its conspicuous height mnk
ing it plainly visible as far ns about Filtieth
street. As it neared tho corner the crowd
naturally bulged to tho sidewalk, ami offi
cers had to threaten with their clubs to
make tho spectators recede, and it wns a
difficult process. Tho pcoplo wcro standing
eight nnd ten deep, nnd somo
of thoso in tho front rank had
raised their umbrellas to keep oTf tho
sun's rays. Somo women stood with babes
in arms and lathers had hoisted their little
ones to'.thcirshonlderB. Obstructions wero
numerous, and thoso at tho rear wero bo-
coming indignant, but ns tho catafalque
came up tho nnnoyanco wns forgotten, and
only respect whb felt. As It wns the leaders
of the horses wero ordered to mako a
sweeping turn, nnd that wns the only way
n winch tho interested gathering could ho
driven back. Pooplo fell bnck from tho
horses ns though a spirit hnd appeared
nnd ordered a retreat. With a Rpontnniety
that told of their reverence, every man
raised his hat as tho first horso ennio
abreast of him, nnd romnincd uncovered
until the body hnd passed him.
After tho president, tho cabinet, nidges
ol tho supremo court, senators, members
of tho houso of the liouso of representa
tives, governors and tho stnlfs. ex-nresl-
dents, foreign ministers, diplomatic ofilccrs
nnd representatives of the army and navy
had pnRscd, tho procession began to brenk
up. Tho veteran and civic organizations
left Fifth avenue by any of tho streets be
tween Fifty-third and Fifty-ninth streets
and gradually fell out of lino.
From noon to-day on for hours into tho
afternoon tho vicinity of tho tomb and
Kivcrsldo park wns a scene of discomfort
for tho waiting thousands. Heat followed
tho cool of tho day nnd tho succeeding
hours added heat, and hundreds nnd thou
sands of people The latter suffered much
in their cramped positions of wniting in
tho blazing sun there. Ono o'clock camo
nnd went, but tho funeral car wns yet a
long way off and moving very slowly. Be
neath a fir tree at tho crown of the knoll
rested a small chnrcoal furnace, nnd nenrit
wore tools nnd materials with which to senl

which I ho ensket nnd remnins of Gen.

mechanics, who should rivet fast the steel
casket within which both coflln and cedar
box should finally bo preserved. Tho steel
enso rested upon two marblo blocks two
nntl one-half feet high, threo feet wido and
eighteen inches thick. Similar marble
blocks have been sunk in tho floor, flush
with tho surface, and upon these tho re
mains ol Mrs. Grant are expected to re
pose. Many persons wero permitted to
peep into tho tomb where tho steel recop-
taclo was waiting tho body then being
borne up town.
Soon after 1 o'clock tho drnni's bent and
blaro of trumpets was heard from tho lower
end of the pnrk and a earringo came into

They marched out upon tho slope, whero

toward tho Clareiuont hotel, which was
covered' with black drapery. Mounted
men with illumed helmets, murines with

lnijwrtant Orders from the Secretary of War.
Secretary FJndicott has prepared a sur
prise for army ofilccrs by amending certain
army regulations so as to make them read
as follows:
An olllccr shall not fill any stalf appoint
ment or other situation tho duties of which
vill detach him from his company, regi
ment or corps until ho has served at least
three years with, his regiment or corps, nor
shnll an officer remain dotnehed longer thnn
four years unless nssigned to special duty
by tho war department.
Tho sccretnry promulgates this change
with tho following order:
"All ofilccrs below tho grade of field ofil
ccrs who havo been absent lor a period cV
'our years or longer, from their regiment oi
corps, will be relieved from their present
duties ns soon ns practicable alter tho re
ceipt ol this order, and directed to report
for duty with their respective regiments or
corps. In tho selection ol aides-do-camps
to fill vncancies created by the operation
of tho hist preceding paragraph, major and
brigadier generals will confine their selec
tions to the ofilccrs ol regiments of tho lino
ol the army not prohibited in tho regula
tions and prefer any to subalterns."
Tliis action on the part ol Secretnry
Endicott is in pursuance ol his policy to
provido for a rotation of oflicers. Repeated
efforts have been mndeincongress to sccuro
legislation that would have the samo effect
as tho above regulation, but ench attempt
hns failed. Tho secretary ol war accom
plishes tho change by amending tho regula-

Chronic fJismses.
A friend lias called our attention to
an editorial published nearly a year
ago in tlie Keystone Malic tl Journal on
chronic diseases. In lift words of tho
editor, "Ono of the jrrcat therapeutical
jjgoblems if not tlio greatest of such
problems before tho profession is tho
treatment of chronic diseases and thoso
constitutional faults which undcrlio
chronic diseases." The article in tho
main is quite suggestive, but we en
tirely disagree with the writer on ono
point. He says: "We assert that in
stead of the body being liable to acnt&
diseases and that thoso if neglected bo
come chronic as is tho common notion,
the reverses tlie truth; that generally
speaking diseases are chronic and
towards the close an acute atl'ection is
liable to be sot up." Again the writer
says Hint ho believes that "much of
tho disense that threatens and cmbil
ters life is chronic defeneration rather
than disease; that there is reason to
believe that tho rate of sueli degener
ative processes admits of being quick
ened or retarded; that tho indelinito
retardation of a dogenerativo proceta
is practically tho extention of, lifo to
its natural limits and tho next best
thing to a complete cure; that tiiis ro
tardation has conio to bo a primal
function of scientific and practical
medicine."
Now, let us state this matter in our
way: From somo inherited tendoncy
which this writer in the Kcistonc
Journal recognizes, or from somo bad
habit or uufortunatc environment or
somo Kreat mental disturbance, tho do
generativo process is awakened in tho
systcm. This process attracts but lit
tle attention at the outset aud it goes
on. Finally it reaches a stago which
is attended witli acuto manifestations,
and at this moment thero occurs what
is called an acuto disease. Tho victim
for the first timo comes to tho conclu
sion that ho is sick anil that ho 13 in
need of a physician. The physician is
called. This is tho "family pliVMoian,"
and such is tho cliaracter of his prac
tice that when lie gets his patient out
of bed ho thinks ho will do to leave.
He has littlo patience and still less
skill to remove these conditions which
havo not already yielded to his pro
scriptions, and It is patient becomes a
sufferer from what is called a chroma
disease. It is not entitled to bo called
chronic until it has tints established
itself in tho system. Consequently.
thero may be said to bo threo stages
tho stage of degeneration, that of
acuto manifestation and that of chrouio
disease. The medical profession at
largo do littlo elio than amelior
ate thoso diseases which aro
called acute If thoy recognizo thoy
do not attempt to relievo either tho-
uogenerativo process or tho chronic
disease. Tho great body of livgienists,
many of whom are not physicians at
all, aro coming to tiio roliof of suffer
ing humanity in tlie lirst or degenera
tive stago. xuoy aro showing now,
by gooti living and otherwise, this
process may bo arrested or retarded.
Many of theso writers aro so extromev
in their ideas that thev say that doc
tors arc unnecessary altogether. Thoy
inveigh against tiio uso of medicine.
Thoy fail toporciovo that their meth
ods are only suited to those who havo
entered upon tho lirst stago mention
ed. That is to say, their old school
doctor who resorts to his heroic ro mo
dies and as heroically attacks all man
ifestations of tlie acuto stage, but who
pooli ! poolis ! at the specialists who
actually profess to take their wrecks,
those who have survived their heroic
treatment, ami make sound men and
women of tlioni. Hotn aro wrong;
tho hygicnists think thoro is nothing In
tho vegotaulo world that is cupablo ol
doing more than keep up tho waste of
the system, and tho old school prac
titioner who imagines ho must go out
of tho vegetable kingdom to find a.
remedy powerful enough to ovorcomo
an acuto diseaso. lloth eclecticism
and homoeopathy aro gradually edu
cating tho profession and tho pooplo
to right viows regarding thoso matters.
tn acuto disease, well treatod, will-
leave no chronic ailment in its wako.
But when by wrong mauagemont tho
chrouie stago is allowed to follow tho
acuto, thu hygicnists aro quito in tho
way whon thev step m between a pa-
tiont and tho specialist and urge that
no medicines aro needed. Aiouicines
aro iiidood required, but thoy should
bo of that roparatory character that
thoy will put matorial in tho hands of
