RICHMOND MEDICAL COLLEGE.

This is the season for such young gentlemen
as have chosen the medical profession as that
by which they mean to earn their bread, TO
look around them, and select their Alma ala
ter. TO such as belong to this State, and to
North Carolina, we beg leave to recommend
the Richmond Medical College as an lnstltu-
ton in which they can obtain all the Informe-
ton which il is possible to obtain any where.
Every arrange ment has been made tor secur-
ing subjects, and it is believed that there Is
less difficulty in doing so here than any where
else in the United States.
With regard to the ability Of the Professors,
there can be but one opinion. Without men,
toning names, we will take them in the aggre-
gate, and say. that there is not one of them
who is not fully competent to fill the cores
ponding chair, in any institution upon the con-
tinent of America, be it VIII ere it may ; East or
West, North or South. Nay, we will 60 even
further than this. We will venture so far as
to say, that no chair, in any Medical College
in the Union, is filled better than the cores
pondng chair of our College. Besides, our
Professors are all men in the very prime Of life;
old enough to have had the opportunity 10 &C.
guire quite as much experience as is necessa-
ry, not old enough to have lost that energy and
vivacity of charac ter, which are as necessary
to the Medical Teacher, as to the Statesman or
General. They have carried this College
through, in spite of obstacles, almost as great
as MIR. Tunstall has had to encounter in secur-
ing the completion of the Danville Railroad
They have literally "fought fire." as he says he
has done. They have succeeded and ii is a
proof that they have deserved success. Moth
ing but true merit could have weathered such
a storm as they have been compelled TO face,
almost from the first day Of their organization.
Now, we ask the youths of Virginia and
North Carolina, why 60 to the North for an
education no better than one which you can re-
ceive here? Why not spend your money here
among your own people, tfor the Virginian.
and North Carolnans are the same people, J
rather than spend it among people for whom
you have not half as much sympathy as you
have for us! You talk about the North
abuse the Norih-execrate the North. We do
not join with you there, for we conceive that
the advantages which the North has, have
been obtained by industry. enterprise and skill.
Buff you really think of the North as you say,
why not stay here, and spend your money
among your friends

WILLIAM CORkETT.

There are many of our readers, those of the
younger class, who have heard much of " H.
liam Goblet, but have never seen any speci-
men of his very singular powers. He wrote
more than almost any one man that ever lived
His writings, if collected and published, would
fill an hundred octave volumes. Yet they have
sunk almost into oblivion. This arises from
the nature of the topics on which he wrote
They were generally Of a political character,
extremely interesting to the generation in
which they occurred, but not carrying their
interest any further. OF all the voluminous
writings which he gave 10 the world, that
which is the most humble and least pretending,
is likely to be longest remembered, and most
frequently read ; we allude to his American
Gardener, a work which we have always re.
garded as one among the most valuable of lis
kind. We have always regretted that the eff.
forts Of his powerful mind were confined 10 the
feeting political discussions Of the day, aad
did not take wider range.
TO give our younger readers some idea of
the Immense power, as well as zeal with
which ne assailed the position of an adversarys
we publish, to-day, an attack made by him
upon the Hon. Geo. Canning, one of his Bri-
fannie Majesty's Ministers, during the year
1913, while the French war was raging with
all its violence. This is but one among thou
sand equally strong and bitter. HIS letters,
during the American war, from 1912 to 1915.
are among the finest specimens of rough.
strong, inexpugnable argument we have ever
seen. They were of great service to the Amer.
can cause in England, since they took off the
veil with which the British press sought to
cover the numerous defeats of the British ar.
my and navy, and exposed them as they really
were TO the British public.
We found this specimen of Cobbeu's elo.
quence in an old paper, called the "Harp of
Erin" published in the Western part of New
York, which some anonymous friend was so
kind as to send us. Its date is 1913.

words ofcunnng flattery, and their smiles and
bows of unalloyed obsequousness. Since
Dickens was here, they have had nobody on
whom they could lavish their favorite arts of
fawning and flattery. They may grease the
hinges of their knees now, for Thackeray is
certainly coming. Dickens, it is true, ridiculed
them, without mercy. and SO, no doubt, will
Thackeray for serviiity lie like treachery; we
may like it, and yet despise the man who will
practice it. But what of that Your genuine
spaniel never loves any one half SO we'll as the
man that kicks him whenever he comes in his
wav.

A SHANGHAI EGG.-We are indebted to Mr.. C..
C. Burton for an egg laid by one Of his Shanghai
Pullets, nota year old. The egg is almost double
the size of that of the ordinary hen and of differ
ent shape and color 1t is very long, both ends of
the same size and the shell of greenish VIII lite ap-
pearance, resembling the duck egg. The eggs OF
the "old Shanghai hens" Mr.. B. informs US, are
nearly as large as those of goose
Talking of eggs reminds US of friend who rose
one morning from the breakfast table, after eating
six large hens eggs, and remarked to us that it was
singular how persons appetite would change. He
was formerly, he said very tond of eggs, be no
longer cared any thing about them. We should
like to hear what he would say after eating six
