In an admirable address upon the oc
casion of the annual commencement of
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
in the Academy of Music, Baltimore, last
Wednesday, Archbishop Gibbons first
spoke of the rights of the medical pro
fession and then, as to their obligations,
he said: "You should be careful never
to allow yourselves to be imbued with
Materialism. Your profession tends to
this result. Your dealings are with the
flesh and blood, with nerves and tendons,
with brain, muscle and bone. You see the
relation and subordination of one organ to
another, and yon may be tempted to ig
nore the existance of a controlling spirit,
because you do not observe a soul at the
point of your scapel or at the end of a
lens. You are brought face to face with
physical laws. Now, gentlemen, you
might as well question the existance of
God because you do not see with your eye
llis action on this material universe as
deny the existance of a soul because it is
impalpable to the senses. It seems to me
that a thoughtful medical student, who
contemplates the anatomy of the human
body, the delicate construction of each
organ, the adaptability of each to perform
its proper functions, the harmony exis
ting between all of them, must admit the
presence within the body of a controlling
spirit. A shallow physician 111:13' de
luded by materialistic notions. To him 1
would simply say: "There are more
things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than
are dreamed of in your philosophy." You
will never find an Abercrombie, or a Sir
Humphrey Davey, or a Galen, led astray
bv atheistic notion?. One day, after ex
plaining the anatomy of the human body
Galon exclaimed: "I have offered to the
Eternal a sacrifice more pleasing than
goats or oxen." Las Casas, in his me
moirs of Napoleon at St. Helena, relates
that the dying Emperor held a religious
conference with his chaplain in the pres
ence of Dr. Antoinarchi. The physician's
face seemed to Napoleon to bear an ex
pression of incredulity, though this sus
picion was without foundation. "Doc
tor. can you not believe in God, whose
existance everything proclaims, and in
whom the greatest minds have believed?"
"But, Sir," replied the doctor, T have
ueve.l doubted it.'
The New York Observer makes pleasant
allusion to the history of the First Pres
byterian Church, of this city, especially
in connection with the library of the I!cv.
l)r. Wilson, who was pastor from 1809 to
18150. One of the trustees bought this
library and presented it to the church.
The Rev. John Blair Linn was pastor of
this church from 1790 to 1804. lie was a
poet, and in this church library are two
copies of his Valerian and a poem on the
death of Washington. The pastors of the
church since Mr. Linn have been; Rev.
James P. Wilson, 1). D., May 1, 180G, to
December 20, 1830; Albert Barnes, June
25 1880, November 18, 18G7—emeritus
pastor, November 18, 18G7, till death,
December, 24. 1870; Derrick Johnson,
I). 1).. December 9, IGG7, to January 1,
1874 ; Lawrence M. Colfelt, March 1, 1874,
and still pastor. The Observer adds : "The
place of meeting in Philadelphia for the
groat Presbyterian Council of all Nations
has not yet been definitely determined.
This First Church—this mother of them
all—if it were large enough would be the
appropriate place for the opening sermon.
It cm seat about 1,200 persons, and the
necessity of a far larger house may com
pel the service lesewhere. But it would
be a grand sight to see the representa
tives of every Presbyterian body of Chris
tians in all the earth assembled for pub
lic worship in this the first Presbyterian
Church in the city of Philadelphia, the
congregation of which was-first gathered
in IG9B, nearly a century before the nation
itself was born."— Philadelphia Times.
An old woman of the name of Gordon,
In the north of Scotland, was listening to
the account given in the Scriptures of
Solomon,s glory, which was read to her
by a little female grandchild. When the
girl came to tell of the thousand camels
which formed part of the Jewish sover
eigns live stock, "Eh, lassie," cried the
old woman, "a thousand Campbells, say
ye? The Campbells are an auld clan, sure
enough, but look and ye dinua see the
Gordous too!"

prOR THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
" THE LEADING AMERICAN NE IFN
PAPEIt
TIIE NEW YORK
TRI BUNE
FOR 18S0.
During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will bo a more effective agency than ever for tolling
tho news best worth knowing, and lor enforcing
sound politics. From the day tho war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
Hut it saw two years ago, and was the tirst persist
ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from tlio revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it soughtto
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It
began by demanding tho abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. It called for an en.i
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
| and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevrc fi*
: candidates the majority should put up against the
I common foe. f-'incc then the tide of disaster has
; been turned back; every doubtful state has been
j wun, and the omens for National victory were never
, more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
rn.o.-t enthusiastically who have seen mest of the
j struggle. It will faithfully portray the vamlng
phases of the campaign now beginning. It wilt
earnestly strive tliat the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make a good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid Bouth
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
money than ever before to hold the distinction It has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
ptopje. It secured, and means t.o retain it. by b
coming the medium of the best thought, and the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freees
discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to.
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune arc known
to everybody. It gives all the news. It lias the
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
year, It is the only paper that maintains a specie'
telegraphic wire of its own between its office a d
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and ©-
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its hook reviews
are the best. Its commercial and financial ne—s is
the most exact Its type 1b the largest; and its ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TIIIBUN
is by far the most successful Scml-Wcekly In the
country, having four times the circulation of any
other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
large class of intelligent, professional or business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien
tific matter, lectures, literary iniscellaney, etc,, for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial country
population, and has the largest circulation of any
Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper In
New York, or, so far as we know, in the United
States. It revises and condenses all the news of the
week into mere readable shape. Its agricultural du
partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and
it lias always been considered the best. Its market
reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's
Association, and have long been recognized author
ity on cattle, grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for the young and for
household interests; the new handiwork department
already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate
and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet
ing. and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and
the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who
have returned to it during the past year is that they
find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
fitcilltias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
point we have over touched, and to ofier the most
amazing premiums yet given, as follows:
