We clip the following from theaInd'po
Atlas: The Southern papers opposed to the
Democracy are almost unanimous in con-
demning the action of few young sprigs of
Southern chiyalry who let their false pa
triotism get the upper hand of their good
sense. The Nashville News thus speaks
of the movement:
Some folks are making wonderful fuss
about the exodus of several scores of stu
dents from the medical schools of Philadel-
phia.' We heard Southern geRtleman
say IL his SON had thus left a N Northern col
lege in a pucker, on account of old Browns
luuacy he would paddle him we'll and send

erence 10 our own institutions in the South
is natural and right; but we think, with
due defence to the leaders of hubbub, that
the giving Of sectional political cast 10
education is greatly TO be deplored.
The News alludes to similar movement
on the part Of the New York medical stu
dents, in the following wholesome strain:
THE thought is refreshing to patriotism,
that out of three or four hundred medical
students no assembled in the recent I'D
dlediddle meeting in New York, only four

STYLES of Woman.

An English lady, Mrs. Murray, has been ,oy-,
aging among the Spanish Islands, and has v r,t-
ten a'book descriptive of the women she meets,
at Santa Cruz, the capital of Ttnc-
rife. 1t is cleverly reviewed by an Engli7'
critic, and we quote passage:
They are pretty portraits which Mrs. Mu-r
has given us; but one bright, brave, En- &,
woman, with her energy and her courage ~
self-reliance and her honor, is worth the 9
bevy. The marble skin and languid loveliness
of the harem beatty, her glorious eyes, her match
less hair, her bewitchiDg mouth, make her very
effective as portrait so is the Spanish wo-
man, with her natural flowers braided into her
magnificent hair, and her dark eyes speaking 80
elegantly from under her arched brows Let
the palm of beauty pass let the fair haired Eng
lish girl look pale and expressionless beside thess
beauties but at home, who but she bears off
the prize before all women of the world? 40
so neat, hourly well-appointed, so regular il her
habits, so charming in her management ?-wh >
so sweet home companion, so reliable
truthful so mate-like as shea Not the Mco-i as
maiden, ignorant and to be protected by
wires and impregnable walls; nor the Spa
woman, who washes her babies on the j -
table, trails through the morning dressed like g
ragged beggar, and may not go even to mass
without her duenn0 and her guardian. For our
own part we would rather pay our homage to
such women as we see painted in the Academy,
in scarlet pettcoats, Balmoral boots, turned hats
and gauntlet gloves, with that fearless look of
honesty and daring which only exists where
there is freedom, self-respect and soc cial esteem,
than to all the light of the haren.
