ton Roads in the U. S. S. " Brandywine" for a cruise in the East Indies, but before completing this duty he received orders from the Navy Department to make a cruise of the world, and immediately sailed in pur- sande thereof, in which expedition he visited many places of interest, and professionally examined the waters of the European and Asiatic sous. He re- turned to the United States Sept. 17, 1845, which he touched at Norfolk, Va., having completed the cir- cuit of the globe. On the 25th of November, 1846, war having been declared against Mexico, he sailed in the ship " Ohio" to join the American squadron in the Gulf of Mexico. . He participated in the celebrated action in which the American ships of war bom- barded the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, under the cover of the fire of which the army of Scott debarked at Vera Cruz. On the 29th of March, 1847, Vera Cruz surrendered, and possession was taken of the city and fortifications by the Americans.

From the close of the Mexican war till the begin- ning of the civil war, the country being at peace, the professional life of Commodore Marchand was not varied from ordinary routine duty. He was engaged in the interim in visiting foreign courts and perform- ing duty abroad. On Dec. 15, 1858, he left New York to join the Paraguay expedition in command of the "Memphis," returning to the United States the following spring.

At the outbreak of the civil war he was on light- house duty in Detroit. . During this time an incident occurred which illustrates the devotion he had for the profession which he had chosen from among all others, the navy. While here he was offered the command of a Michigan regiment, which he refused to accept, though he gratefully acknowledged the honor con- ferred upon him, but he made application at once to the Department for immediate sea duty. He was given the "James Adger," and put in command of the blockade naval forces at Charleston and George- town, S. C.' On the 16th May, 1862, he was wounded off the mouth of the Stone River. On the 24th of October following he was ordered to command the "Lackawanna," and in February following reported for blockade duty off Mobile. From this time until the 5th of August, 1864, the date of the battle of Mobile Bay, he was engaged in blockade duty, during which time he captured many of the vessels engaged in assisting the Confederates, among them being the British steamer "Neptune" and the rebel steamer "Planter."

We will now turn to the battle of Mobile Bay, which can best be described in the commodore's own words, which I copy from his journal :

"On the 5th of August, 1864, the vessels took posi- tion alongside, and lashed to each other as required. The 'Lackawanna,' with the 'Seminole,' was in the centre of line of battle. Fort Morgan opened fire upon us first, and the rebel boats 'Tennessee,' ' Mor- gan,' 'Gaines,' and 'Selma,' inside of the bay, raked

our vessels with shot and shell. It was a magnificent sight, every vessel with ensigns at their mastheads and peaks, the shot and shell flying through the air with their piping sound, the dense volumes of smoke from the guns sometimes hiding the nearest ships, then floating away towards the forts, and the loud cheers of all hands. Although shot and shell were flying around none struck the 'Lackawanna's' hull, doing serious injury, till we were within four or five hundred yards of Fort Morgan, when a heavy, elon- gated shot from the fort passed through the ship's side, killing and wounding sixteen men at the 150- pound rifle, when it carried away two stanchions of the taffrail, passed through the foremast, and carried away the head of the sheet-cable bits, and then pass- ing through the other side of the ship fell into the water. Blood and mangled human remains for a time impeded the working of the 150-pounder. The firing of shells from our fleet was so continuous that the enemy were driven away from their gr.ns. At 8.80 o'clock A.M. our fleet had passed beyond the range of the guns of Fort Morgan, when the ram 'Tennessee' was seen approaching. The admiral made signal to the 'Monongahela,' as being nearest, to run her down, and instantly the same was made to me. The 'Mo- nongahela' struck her angularly near the stern and glanced away. I was more fortunate, striking her at right angles to her keel. The concussion was tre- mendous, and we rebounded, but soon after drifted against her broadside to broadside, head and stern, when our marines and some of the crew, with muskets and revolvers, opened fire into her ports, preventing the reloading of their guns, which had been fired into our bows when almost touching, exploding two shells, and sending one solid shot into her berth-deck, kill- ing and wounding many of the powder division and the already wounded.

"In ramming the 'Tennessee' we had done her no perceptible injury except demoralizing her.crew, but our stern was cut and crushed far back of the plank ends.

"Our guns had been pivoted on the opposite side, in anticipation of swinging head and head, so that but one iz. gun could be sufficiently depressed to bear upon the 'Tennessee,' which was fired nearly into one of the ports, causing the port shutter to jam, becom- ing useless during the remainder of the engagement. We then separated in different directions by her going ahead, and we having nothing to hold on by, I ordered the helm hard over, to bring the ship around to make another attempt at ramming the 'Tennessee,' but our great length and the shoalness of the water, which sometimes was not more than a foot under the keel, prevented our turning rapidly, and in going around we collided with the flag-ship, the 'Hartford,' knocking two of her quarter-deck ports into one, although every effort was made on my part, by backing the engine, to prevent the occur- rence. We sustained no injury by the collision. As

soon as we cleared the ' Hartford' I again started to rua down the 'Tennessee,' but before reaching her she had hauled down ber flag, hoisted a white one, and surrendered to the fleet, which bad by that time gotten around her."

Thus closed one of the hardest-fought naval en- gagements of which the annals of America contain record.

On the 28th of November, 1864, he resigned com- mand of the " Lackawanna," and arrived at Hampton Roads Dec. 11, 1864. On July 11, 1865, he was or- dered to the Philadelphia Navy. Yard as executive officer, and on the 25th of July, 1866, was promoted to commodore for meritorious services, and put in command of the navy-yard at Philadelphia.

On the 27th of August, 1870, he was placed on the retired list, under the longevity law. The Army and Navy Journal, commenting on his retirement, says, "The operation of a general law only by a few weeks deprived bim of the highest rank in his profession."

He died April 13, 1875, at his residence in Carlisle, Pa., and is buried in Ashland Cemetery.

In stature he was five feet nine inches in height, being stout, but not corpulent, and always wearing a clean-shaved face. When in active service he wore his uniform only when absolutely necessary, but after he was retired it was never seen., A correspondent writes, " It is said of him by those who sailed with him that no profane word was ever heard from his lips ;" and when on shipboard and without a chap- lain he always read the Episcopal service every Sun- day to his crew.

At the age of forty-eight years he married Mar- garet Donaldson Thornton, daughter of Paymaster Francis A. Thornton, U.S.N.

JOSEPH MEREDITH TONER, M.D.

Of distinguished men now living and taking an active part in the higher affairs of the world, who are bound by ties of birth or blood, to the county of which we write, must not be forgotten Dr. Joseph M. Toner, of Washington City, one of the foremost gentlemen in his profession in America. Dr. Toner was born in Pitts- burgh, Pa., April 30, 1825, and is the elder of two sons, the only surviving children of Meredith and Ann (Layton) Toner. His brother, Hon. James L. Toner, resides in Derry township. Dr. Toner received his early education in the common schools of Pittsburgh, and of Westmoreland County, whither his parents removed while he was yet young, and where other relatives of theirs lived. He subsequently attended the Western Pennsylvania University for a year, and was sent to Mount St. Mary's College, where he continued his studies for two years longer, but left without having completed a classical course. He began the study of medicine in 1847 with Dr. John Lowman, the leading physician of Johnstown, Pa., attended Jefferson Medical College in the winter of 1849-50, and at the close of his term entered Ver-

mont Medical College, at Woodstock, and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from that insti- I tution in June, 1850. In July of that year he began practice at Summitsville, in Cambria County. He, however, shortly after attended Jefferson Medical Col- lege a third term, and received his degree of M.D. from that seat of learning in 1858. He was in practice in Pittsburgh during the cholera epidemic of 1854. After that, passing the summer on the farm with his mother, be, in 1855, removed to Harper's Ferry, Va., but observing that there was not sufficient room for any considerable professional advancement there, be in November of the same year took up his present residence in Washington.

We can scarcely do more in this short sketch than advert to the fact that Dr. Toner has made for him- self in the medical profession of the United States and in the domain of natural science a reputation of the very highest degree. He has labored for his pro- fession with untiring zeal. Of the many instances in which his learning and the results of his own labors have been freely offered to the public for public good we shall instance but one. Prompted by a desire to encourage students to aspire to a higher and more scientific education in the profession, and being im- pressed with the idea that much remained to be ef- fected for the encouragement of special and original studies, perhaps through other means than those in vogue, Dr. Toner founded in 1872 by endowment, in the District of Columbia, the " Toner Lectures." "Be- lieving," writes the founder, "that the advancement of science (that is, a knowledge of the laws of nature in any part of her domain), and especially such dis- coveries as contribute to the advancement of medi- cine, tend to ameliorate the condition of mankind," he therefore set aside a fund, the interest of which was mainly to be used in maintaining the "Toner Lectures," to be delivered annually in Washington, to consist of a series of discoveries, memoirs, or lec- tures, which " should contain some new truth or dis- covery, based on original investigation," which were, if approved, to be published. This fund has been placed under the control of five trustees. One of his biographers says that the doctor has perhaps been the most successful biographer, thus far, of the medi- cal profession of the United States. "He is an au- thority in nearly all matters relating to the history of medicine, medical biography, and the local history of the District of Columbia."

Sketches of his life have appeared in Allibone's "Dictionary of Authors," Johnson's "New Encyclo- pedia," the Northwestern Medical and Surgical Jour- nal, etc. He is a member of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, of the Medical Association of the District of Columbia, of the American Medi- cal Association (since 1864), of the American Public Health Association, of the Philosophical Society of Washington, and of the Alumni Association of Jef- ferson Medical College, an honorary member of the

California State Medical Society, of the New York State Medical Society, of the Wisconsin Historical Society, of the Detroit Academy of Medicine, a cor- responding member of the Gynecological Society of Boston, of the Virginia Historical Society, of the Albany Institute, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Little Rock, a visitor to the Government Hospital for the Insane, and patron of the Toner Scientific Circle of Georgetown College.

A list of Dr. Toner's chief publications may be found

in the "Catalogue of the Surgeon-General's Library." They are so numerous as to be of themselves a library. He has been working for years on a " Biographical Dictionary of Deceased American Physicians," which when finished will be one of the most complete works of its kind ever published. The doctor's library is the most extensive of any private medical library in the United States, with possibly one exception, and is, without doubt, the largest of any south of Phila- delphia.
