FEMALE PHysIcIANs.-There are several esta-
blishments in the United States where women
are educated as physicians, and the experiment,
which was commenced about five years since,
seems to have been comparatively successful.
We have received the Fifth Annual Announce
ment Of the Female Medical College Of Penn
sylvania, located in Philadelphia" The docu-
wcnt sets forth the course Of education, lee
lures, terms, &c. Last year there were thirty
students, and at the Commencement in Febru-
airy the degree of Doctor Of Medicine was con-
ferred upon four women. The course Of study
occupies three years. and the college seems to
include oil the material for . complete medical
education. Really the women seem To be going
ahead.

EASY WAY TO COMPUTE INTEREST. a
Baltimore paper, correspondent gives the
following plan for computing interest at
six per cent. for any number of days:
Divide the number of days by six, and
multiply the dollars by the dividend, and
the results the interest in decimals; cut of
the right-hand figure and you have it in
dollars and cents. thus:
Whatis tho interest of 500 for twenty
one days? 81 divided by is 81; 100
multiplied by 81 is $50, or 35 cents, A.
gain: What is the interest of 1878 for
ninety three days? 03 divided by 6is l5J;
s7e multiplied by i5t is $3.50, or 1886
and 9-1O.

should make it principle to extend the
hand Of friendship to every man who dis
charges faithfully his duties, and main
tains good order-who manifests deep in

whose department is upright. and whose
mind is intelligent-without stopping to
ascertain whether he swings hammer OF

tant from all natural claim as the reluctant
the backward sympathy, the forced smile
the checked conversation, the hesitating

CHURon.Akp SrkIH- PoLIrIeAL CATH
oucIsM IN CGskpk, will do for sam
pie Of the political maneuvering of the
priests in the United States, allowing for
the difference in our system of the two
governments, is set forth distinctly in the
Catholic CitizcnS Of june LIST, Published
at Toronto: - -
The declaration Of the Catholic body,
through the Institute, presided over By The
head Of our church, leaves no room for doubt
as to the action which Catholics must take
if the present Ministry do not comply with
their present demands. As necessary
consequence to this. it follows that no Cath
olic can, consistently with the duty which
he owes to his Church, pledge himself to
support any man or measures; until the
next session of Parliament shall have de-
cided the friendship or hostility OF the par
ties at present in power.
In the mean time, Catholics should moi
be idle, but should diligently bestir them
selves in ascertaining correctly and organ
izing their strength.
Catholics should, however, bear this
steadily in mind, hat without the closest
union they can never hope TO realize whal
may fairly be expected from them should
they but record their votes, as one, setting
aside all minor consideration, and losing
sight OF all shades Of political opinion which
might tend to disupite them. In the ma
lioTity of the constituencies of Upper Cana
da, it would be useless for Catholics to ex-
pect to return members of their own. body
Ibut. with few exceptions, they can turn III
scale in all, and in some they can and mus
return Catholics. ~, ~ I, i.
This is the way that Romanism seeks t.
grasp the temporal power;- and we ihsv
been told by the shepherd Of the Valley
that when Romanism gains this, religion
liberty will be at an end in the Cnitc'
Statesa and everywhere else, e,as in the Pope
dominions. We do not doubt it, and tn
extract we have given above exhibits tn
spirit of the priest party, and tn
means they rely upon to secure politics
ascondancy. The most powerful, most ei
/ Ificient, most american method Of putin
down this ecclesiastical interference i
State affairs is TO VOTE IT DOWN; for yo
cannot reason it down, inasmuch as ''ar
thority," NOT reason, moves the polite;
machine.

THE Cnors IN EUROPE, The harvest
accounts from England, France, and, we
may say from Europe generally, continue
to be favorable, An agricultural report
from Ireland says: 'On the whole, there
is still every reason to think that the grain
crops will be the most abundant that have
been gathered for many years. With re-
gard to potatoes, there can be no doubt
that the disease is now spreading, but moi
to such an alarming extent as some people
represent, The new potatoes are gener-
ally in use throughout the country. For
the most part the quality is excellent
