Hancock was present ed by Mr. Vandcrpeel and greeted with prolonged and .enthusiastic cheering. Whcu it had subsided he spoke as fol fel lows : " Mn. President and Gentlemen : Yeu are assembled here te-night te de me honor. I am, no doubt called upon main ly .in consequence of the position I held in the recent canvass for the presidency. I tegard my connection with that subject as practically closed. I, however, maintain the principles I held when I accepted the nomination of the Cincinnati convention, and believing as I de that the triumph of these principles weu'd promote the wel fare of our whole country, I hope te see them prevail at some future time. Their suceess must rest with the Jeffersonian Democratic party. whi-r -.- -'f """ "if rtuiy ieirescfiicu'"uGie tO-mght. iO yOU 1 concede the presentation of that true re publicanism en which our fathers founded the constitution, which has made us great among the nation of the earth. I can only say in relation te the political canvass of 18S0 that I have no fault te find with the support of my friends and nothing te re gret or modify of my own acts and words. I thank you, gentlemen, most heartily for the honor and pleasure which you confer upon me by this entertain ment." In the absence of Mayer Grace, Presi dent Samuel D. Babcock of the Chamber of Commerce was called upon te respond in behalf of the city of New Yerk, and spoke briefly. Ex-Gov. Jehn T. Heffman was called upon as a veteran Democrat. He said that the assemblage was net a caucus or a convention, but a social gathering in honor of Gen. Hauceck. In conclusion he said that after a few mere funerals of Demo cratic persons and resurrections of Deme cratic principles the Democratic party would come te these true principles upon which alone ent; republic can continue te exist. Gen. McClellan said he was reminded of his age by the fact that he was the eldest defeated Democratic candidate living. Horatio Seymour, he said, was htssen, Samuel J. Tilden his grandson, and their guest his great-grandson. He was thank ful te be able te see the last of his line, and hoped that with him the line would end. The Democratic party recognized what an army does discipline, trusted leaders, and recognized principles te fight for. Without them no party or army could be successful. Other speakers were Augustus Schell, Frederick B. Coudert and Judge Brady. Among the letters of regret that were read was one from Thurlow Weed, in which he said that, owing te age and its infirmities, he was compelled te decline. He wrote : "I have dined out but once in ten years. I have the pleasure of know ing your distinguished guest, and am second te none in regard for his public and private character, or in appreciation of the gallant and distinguished services he has rendered te his country. As a sol dier Gen. Hancock's name perpetuates that of the first signer of the Declaration of Independence, and will go down te posterity associated with the names of Washington, Greene, Jacksen, Scott, Brown, Meade, Tayler, Themas, and many ether departed soldiers." ' Danger in Baby Carriages. -Infants Mere Healthy when Carried by Nurse xne jucycie xroueie. New Yerk Sun. The physiological or' hygienic effect of A-Y ft "L - - - .. M A 41I4 lAS "UaA me uauy carnage uu tuc nu ute ueeu recently considered by Dr. Henry H. Smith in a paperread before the Philadel phia county medical society. Inquiry among physiciaus tends te fully sustain many of Dr. Smith's conclusions. Divested of techicalitics, the results of investigation are that important muscular functions are impaired, particularly these of the spine and abdemen,' and that the growth and proper development of the child are greatly retarded by the constant or injudicious use of baby carriages. Other evils,suca as im peded respiration, brain congestion, spinal concussion and inadequate digestion or nu trition, are adverted te in this connection with an emphasis wntcn enforces attention while ether considerations are suggested full of interest te these who have the re- snensibilitv of brintrintr up children. It is said that when a child lies down, as it usually does, in a baby carriage during infancy, the muscles of the spine remain nearly at rest. When, however, a child sits en its nurse's arm, its head and upper extremities are balanced en its pelvis,thus calling into play the spinal erector mus cles and these of the abdomen, together I with these which control the lateral mo tions of the body. "Hence," the doctor concludes, ' its exercise in preserving its balance prepares its muscles for the mere steady actiqa demanded of them subsequently in cfinng, or mere espec ially in walking..1 ' Te carry an infant is in fact te train it in balancing its head and shoulders, while I the abdominal muscles, acting as flexors et tne spine, compress tne liver ana etner viscera, and aid in both respiration and the peristaltic action of the bowels. Such infants are sooner able te sit alone, creep, and walk than the supine product of the baby carriage. Their improved respiration assists the oxygenation of the bleed, the waste of tissue ensuing en muscular action increases the necessity for repair, and we find increased appetite with improved nu tritien. It has been contended that the can iages are beneficial by enabling nurses te keep children longer in the air. The doctor con sidersthat a nurse unable te carry her child is unfit for her duty, and that a fond ness for flirtation underlies the nurse's ex cure of fatigue. He says, moreover, that the infant is often neglected and allowed te hang its head ever the side of the carriage in a way te induce a certain degree of brain congestion, or is tee often found in some position which in time way result in curvature or caries of the spine. Anether evil likely te ensue from the con stant use of the baby carriage is concus sion of the delicate brain or spinal cord of the infant, caused by bouncing the vehi cle ever curbstones, a matter as severe upon the nervous system of the child as railroad travel has been shown te be upon the mere mature organization of the man. While Dr. Smith fully appreciates the fact thac the nse of the baby carriage per mits the peer, tired mother a little relax ation, and values it in cases of children re covering from illness, he believes that as a general rule the facts referred te are suffi cient te call attention te the abuse of " a custom that is by no means a necessity in the case of infants, or these under twelve months of age." In illustrating the foregoing he gave the tho tho follewing two cases : "An infant new nine months old has never been allowed te enter a baby carriage, but has taken its exercise out of doers for several hours at a time en its nurse's arms. It is new able te sit alone ; creeps around actively ; sel dem falls or bumps its head ; is bright and observant of everything ; creeping te obtain any article that attracts its notice. It has a bright color, nurses and sleeps well, and has had no trouble in teething, its digestieu being perfect. Anether child much larger and weighing twenty-seven pounds, has becu kept constantly in its carriage, this being regarded as au excel lent place for it te sleep in during the day. It is at present entirely unable te sit "erect even when aided by pillows ; has a feeble digestion, suffering constantly from flatu lent colic, and is altogether much mere passive in its physical and mental habits than the ether child." After referring te the contrivance known as the "baby jumper " as having been set aside some years age, en account of its giving rise te the development of pes equinus or club feet, the doctor ex presses a fear that a somewhat similar deformity is likely te be created by the use of the bicycle by young and growing lads. The cause of this is stated te be the extreme flexion of the tees te reach the treadle that works the machine. It is rc- WWWIMlrUUUt tlliaU BUUU1U llUlil tue v& locemotoin supersede in some cases the mere advantageous exercises of walking special attention should at- least be ob served that the treadle is net se far from the sole of the feet as te necessitate a con stant elevation of the heel in order that that tees and ball of the feet may reach the point of propulsion. In regard te children's hats, reference is made te an article from the Londen Lancet objecting te the senseless fashion of turn ing up the brim of the hat in Tyrolese or Spanish fashion, se that "infants and little folks of tender years have half-closed eyelids, corrugated brews, and faces screwed up by the glare of the sunshine, from which the brim of the hat, if cor rectly used, ought te protect them." P. & R. B. President Gewen te the Stockholders. Late Saturday afternoon President Gewen issued the following : Te the Shareholders of the Philadelphia Reading Railroad Company : I held up te the present time the prox ies of 1,931 shareholders of the company, owning 339,500 shares of the capital stock, being very considerably mere than a ma jerity of all the shares, and 1 am instructed te use these proxies ana a numeer ej aa aa ditienal one, which 1 will be in possession of before Monday at neon, te support and con tinue the present management of the com pany, which has also the confidence of a large number of shareholders who have net given proxies, but who usually attend in person the meetiugs of the company. I am authorized, by a meeting of the share holders of the company, held in Londen en the 4th of February, at which 305,637 shares were represented, te take all such action, legal or otherwise, for and en be half of the share and bondholders of the company as may, in my judgement, be conducive te the interest of these repre sented at that meeting. Of the shares for which l Held proxies a large proportion, however, may possibly be disfranchised by failing te register. If a legal meeting of the stockholders is held en Monday next, and it should subse quently be determined by the court that three months' priority is essential te con fer the right of voting, it may be possible that the wishes of the great majority of bona fide stockholders may be overruled by a minority, who, by reason of the ad vantage of prier registry, may place in power a president and beard of managers whose election cannot but be regarded with great apprehension by all who desire the welfare of the company. Believing most sincerely that 'the elec tion of the ticket submitted by the agents of Messrs. McCalmont Bres. & Ce., would be most disastrous te the company, and that my duty te the large majority of shareholders who have given te me and te the present managers such generous and cordial support requires me te take all proper legal steps te protect their proper ty from the attacks new being made upon it, and being advised by ' counsel, whose written opinion is herewith submitted, that no legal meeting can be held en Mon day next, unless the majority in value of all stockholders is represented. J have de termined te abstain from attending the meet ing, and I earnestly request all shareholders who support the present management te ab sent tMmseicesjrem wa meeting en mtmuuy, and thus te give legal effect tetheir wishes by making it impossible for the minority te secure the attendance of a quorum. The annual report for the past year will be printed and mailed te each shareholder within a few days, and I propose at an early day te appear before a meeting in the city of Philadelphia, and te explain fully te such shareholders and bondhold ers as may desire te attend all the details of the plan for the financial reuei et tne company which was being carried out with such remarkable success up te the period at which the further, action of the beard was temnerarilv suspended by the order I of the court made upon the application of & Ce. " Franklin B. Gewen, President. Philadelphia, March 13, 1881. The following letter accompanied the statement .: PniLADELPmA, March 13, 1881. Dear Sir : In our opinion, no business of any sort can be transacted at the meeting et the stockholders of tha Philadelphia & Reading railroad company, called forMon ferMon forMen day, the 14th day of March (which is net a regular charter day), unless it be a legal meeting, and its legality must be deter mined by the charter, which declares that there shall be no special meeting unless there shall be present, in person or by proxy, a majority in value of the then owners of the stock. Whilst the owners of the shares, therefore, may be unable by voting te compel action, they are entitled, their presence being essential te its being taken, te prevent it by non-attendance. Shareholders who have net registered for three months,-being possibly deprived of all power, saving that of preventing action should determine whether it will be wise for them te attend the meeting, which has been called, aud thereby sauctien it, and possibly enable any minority however stnaH control the future action of the com pany for the current ycar.Thc effect of your attendance as proxy for shareholders net registered for three months may be te de feat the wishes of your constituents by rendering legal a meeting at which they will have no vote.
